This is because of recent reby the Hoover Commission on organization of the Executive Branch of the Government in which the ex- Hoover President is the recognized guiding and dominating influence.

Across a broad front these reports represent an assault on a number of Government institutions, most of them created during the Roosevelt-Truman regimes. These include Rural Electrification Administration that lends money to rural electric cooperatives by which the bulk of farms have been electrified. The Hoover would shift this to private Commission, banks with higher interest rates. Water Resources Report. The commission also hit at which would back to various farm credit.

In all these, millions of citizens in all walks of life have a stake. These folks also are voters, and so are a concern of the Republican party and the hower Administration which has watched and listened anxiously in the last few days as Democrats in both branches of Congress haven run all the changes on the "Hoover."

The political significance of all this was emphasized by freshman Democratic Senator Neuberger of Oregon in a speech in the Senate complaining about the proposed disposition of commissaries and post exchanges and postal saving banks and a recommended increase in parcel post rates. He said: "These recommendations of the Hoover Commission are a challenge to the Republican party, for it is up to that party either to repudiate the advice of its only living ex-President or to take the responsibility for limiting governmental services of vital importance to millions of Americans."

1-4513 ART MUSEUM BUYS $2200 GREEK VASE Rare and Beautiful Object Dates From About 500 B.C. A rare Greek vase purchased recently by the City Art Museum for $2200 was placed on public exhibition today at the museum. It is the only one decorated by "The Berlin to enter the St. Louis collection. "The Berlin Painter," whose real name is unknown to art historians, derives his customary designation from a large vase which he is believed to have decorated and which is one of the most important possessions of the Berlin State Museum.

He flourished from about 500 B.C. to 460 B.C., the period from which come all Greek vases of the finest proportions. More than 200 vases bear the marks of his characteristic style and are attributed to him. Few now are left in private hands, so that the museum's acquisition is viewed as a special prize, it was explained by William N. Eisendrath acting director of the museum.

Among other museums owning similar vases are London's ish Museum, New York's Metropolitan and the Vatican Museum, Rome. Previous owner of the St. Louis museum's vase was a noted Roman collector of antiquities. The Berlin Painter's method, like that of his contemporaries practicing "red-figured" ornamentation against a black glazed background, was first to outline his motifs, leaving the vase's original red clay to represent figures painting all the rest of the surface black. On one side of the St.

Louis museum's vase, 14 inches in height, is depicted a winged Nike, Greek goddess of victory, bearing a cithara. ancient Greek musical instrument of the lyre class, with strings and a wooden sound box. She flies above a border of modified Walls of Troy design. On the other side is shown a youth in profile. Originally used for general storage purposes, the vase is of the amphora (two handled) type, having a large egg-shaped body, circular base and narrow cylindrical neck, with handles rising nearly to the level of the orifice.

7-0225 St. Louis has bank provides specialists to This bank has possible for This way of to the benefit This bank is WALTER LIPPMANN Dulles TV Show Not What It Seemed WASHINGTON. LIFTED HIMSELF by his own bootniche of "elder statesman." Once arena of politics. Once again as he was many years ago when long time after he retired from At the first opportunity, which was at his news conference this week, President Eisenhower dissociated himself from any mortal blows aimed at TVA, saying his Administration never would wreck TVA. He obviously was embarrassed also by the farreaching recommendations about military commissaries and post exchanges.

However, in the course of his remarks, he praised the Hoover Commission highly for its work during his Administration. He pointed out that it has not only gone into organization structure in its effort to bring about efficiency, but also into functions, which means policy. From the policy field the first Hoover Commission set up by the Truman Administration was Kefauver Charges Stacking. It is in the field of policy that former President Hoover has literally run wild against New DealFair Deal reforms, so much so that some conservative members of the commission have balked over some proposals. Democrats in Congress from the TVA area exploded when they learned that a "task force" report on water resources mitted to the Hoover Commission- not yet published-recommends virtually the dismemberment of TVA and its transfer to local agencies, private utilities, and the Atomic Energy Commission.

There are signs that because of the outeries, and President Eisenhower's skepticism the commission may tone down the drastic dissolution course urged by the task force. The latter group, Senator Estes Kefauver Tennessee, said bluntly, was "stacked against the public power." Little Chance of Action. Kefauver has joined Representative Chet Holifield California, Hoover Commission member, and others who are trying to force the commission to maker the task force report pubThe water resources report is the final job of the commission which will wind up its work at the end of June. There seems slight chance that President Eisenhower would recommend any of the controversial phases of the Hoover -Commission reports on REA, TVA and farm credit agencies to Congress, and even less that Congress ever would do anything about them. But Republican party leaders are aware of the political danger to the party because of identification of the former Republican President with the offending reports, and the identification of commission itself with the Eisenhower Administration.

The Hoover story seems to have come full cycle again to those who can remember the start of it over a quarter of a century ago.

Nor does it let them see and hear directly, and at first hand, what their officials are really like and what their officials are really thinking. These stagemanaged shows with props made of White House furniture, with live officials reciting or reading the script, are not a new and advanced form of journalism and true reporting.

They are fiction and theater, meant to give the illu- Dulles sion that they are true reporting. This is by way of saying that the picture painted by Secretary Dulles of the great movement of things in the world today was true only as far as it went, which was not very far. Only Half the Truth. He painted a picture of the Soviet Union receding because of the unity and strength of the Western nations. This dramatic and attractive picture leaves out one of the great and determining developments of our timenamely, the increasing tendency of the smaller, most, vulnerable nations to pull from the military orbits of both of the two great atomic powers.

What Mr. Dulles talked about was at best only half the truth. The other half of the is that with their new policy the Soviets are riding a wave of the future with good prospects, if we do not look out, of attracting wide popular support in Europe and Asia. Informed Support Needed. There was not even a hint of these developments in the Tuesday show and that was, it seems to me, disturbing.

For if in the coming encounter with Moscow and Peiping our own public opinion is crystallized on the half truth which was Mr. Dulles's theme, the APPOINTED GARDEN DIRECTOR Russell J.

Dulles The essentially new thing about the new policy is that it new appraisal worldwide, that tide it of is popular shrewdly feelsigned to make the Soviet Union stand forth as the champion of what the peoples want. We can, I think, understand better the inwardness of the new policy if we remind ourselves how in Asia the Soviet Union managed to identify its own interests with the popular demand for national independence for the liquidation of foreign and native ruling oligarchies.

If the new policy of neutrality disengagement is given, a free merely denounced with stereotyped phrases, the Soviet Union will be in a position to monopolize and exploit an enormous wave of popular feeling. Popularity for Soviets. This is the desire for escape from nuclear warfare, a longing comparable with the longing in the Asian peoples for freedom from the white man's rule. It is wishful and indeed highly conceited thinking for us to tell ourselves that we are leading from strength and that our adversaries are leading from weakness. For when every allowance has been made for the economic troubles in Russia and in China, the fact remains that in reaching out for the support of the masses of mankind who want to dieengage, warfare, themselves, Soviets from are nuby way of acquiring new and very popular strength.
