THE Democrats contend that the Republicans are better off because they have "richer financial resources." The Republicans counter with the assertion that their that the Chamber "would never do that for us." "Maybe not," comes back the Republican financial official, "but how about the help they get from labor or, ganizations?" The enormous problem facing the parties can be seen from the estimates of what will be spent, altogether, by national committees, volunteer groups, State and local organizations and so on.

But there is no limit on the number of committees a candidate can have, with each entitled to spend its own $3 million.

They say that Sadri and Nina are living apart, and that she is being consoled by a young Polish prince, who is himself separated from his American wife.

The break in the romantic relationship between Sadri and the exotically beautiful Nina Dyer, once wed to wealthy steel tycoon Baron Heinrich von Thyssen, comes a surprise. Soon after their marriage they acted so enamoured of each other that they refused to be sealed apart at dinner parties and made a pact never to dance except with each other. This Hollywood rtyle of ultra-romantic behavior, however, has always seemed to end in disaster. But who knows perhaps Nina and Sadri will have a movie type finish and reconcile their differences. Fade-out with music.

Since the Trojan War when the Hellenic cities sent their thousand proverbial ships to destroy the power of Troy, Greece never reached maritime splendor again until recently, when the 1000th ship under the Greek flag was christened by the beautiful wife of Prime Minister Constantin Karamanlis. This honor was accorded to Stravros Livanos, father of Mrs. Stravos Niarchos and Tina, ex-wife of Ari Onassis, who both have bigger fleets than their father-in-law. However, the man who made it possible was not Livanos, but Constantin Karamanlis, the vigorous pro-American Premier, who has another all-time record to his credit. He has been the skipper of the Greek ship of state for five years, longer than anyone has ruled the temperamental Greeks since Pericles.

He still has two years to go until the 1962 elections, when he'll probably be re-elected. Karamanlis is the man who has' changed the face of modern Greece. He now the target of a conspiracy Waiter Lippmann WASHINGTON. mHE late John Foster Dulles used constantly to preach that the cardinal rule in diplomacy was, as he put 'it, to seek "to prevent war by preventing miscalculation by a potential sggressor." This, he said, meant a "policy of making clear our position in advance. We have learned by hard experience that failure to make our position known in advance makes war more likely, because then an aggressor may miscalculate." He was thinking, of course, of the Kaiser in the First World War, Hitler in the Second and of the Soviet and its North Korean satellite in the Korean War.

Why is It then that during this campaign we are being told by Vice President Richard M. Nfx-on's supporters that the oppo-site Is true', that it is often better to keep the adversary guess-ing?

But correct me if I'm wrong in saying that both candidates appear to be pulling small faces and hurling mild taunts at each other while they wait for a big brother to come and top the fight before it starts. However, both candidates seem to have agreed tentatively that there isn't any difference of issue big enough to summon the brothers. AT THE moment the issue to me seems plain. The issue is survival. Both can didates know that.

What I wini one oi mem io leu me, please, is how they aim to effect this highly desirabje estate, and how much it will cost, and in what? What I hear is generalities, like Kennedy's prattle about America losing face jn the world and how it wouldn't have happened if the Democrats had been in office, which is about as juvenile as' Kennedy's appearance. Nixon is generally a fact man, but he has been giving us the standard "something must be done, leave nobody behind, upward and onward with the times" bit, and, if facts could strangle, Nixon's stock barnstormer wouldn't fetch a cough. TF I READ Kennedy right, J- one of his gambits is that the Republicans have ignored the world, and that Nixon has poisoned every well he's visited in furrin lands. In short, the Republicans didn't teach the Congolese enough about democracy to operate a free land. Republicans didn't shave Castro, and the Republicans wouldn't let President Eisenhower come ashore in Japan just yah-yah-yah sort of little-boy talk.

Perhaps this has not been a very good year for elections, with the on-stage villains making so much noise that it's hard to hear the heroes whispering in the wings. I was talking with some female young the other day, college types, and they said they wanted Adlai but would vote for Kennedy. They said that Adlai was charming and that they liked Kennedy because he was cute. They didn't like Nixon because he wasn't cute. One was of voting age and the others will be eligible next election.

Heaven help us. KENNEDY'S acceptance by the females is standable, of course, because he is cute and is eminently cuddleable, while Nixon does Today's I by a is of Beer after tne first of the year, with Joe Pasternak producing.

But, somehow, I don't feel very cuddly at the moment, and I wouldn't care if the next President looked like Frankenstein's mother, if he would get up on his hind legs and pound his chest.

After 20 lean years in opposition, some party workers apparently think it time for Liberals to get a special break. Some Government employes have lost their jobs and been replaced by new appointees, presumably Liberal. But the turnover has been far less than oldtime Quebec politicians regard as normal. Speaking to 1000 of his key workers at a meeting of the Quebec Liberal Association, the Prime Minister held out no promises of rewards. On the contrary he said people who make a business of seeking Government favors in return for electioneering work and money contributions are "parasites and festering sores, preying on society and industry."

ING. President Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles invented a formu-la, deliberately vague, as a face-saving compromise. The formula was to satisfy Chiang and his friends, who wanted a guarantee of the offshore islands, and it was to satisfy a majority of the Senate, who did not wish guarantee the offshore islands. This formula, however, violated the most cherished doctrine and principle of John Foster Dulles. He had to give in because Chiang Kai-shek and his American supporters were too strong for him.

The whole thjng is a monument to the failure of the Eisenhower Administration to carry through its own policy, and to define candidly and openly the commitments of the United States. The truth of the matter is that for five years we have been stuck with these islands. We have been entangled with Chiang and unable to do what we believe In. All that Sen. John F.

Kennedy has said about this is that he would try once again to negotiate with Chiang in order to disentangle us, and he would try to do what the President him-' self wanted to do; to do what Secretary Hcrter has said plainly he would like to do; to. do what the principles and convictions of John Foster Dulles called for.
