McClellarrMay Show How to Run Gommittee Arkansas' senior Senator, John L. McCIellan, will have an excellent opportunity during the coming session of Congress to show his colleagues and the nation how a Congressional investigating committee should in the process, give Senator McCarthy an object lesson in proper behavior. AVith reorganization of the Senate this -week under control of the Detno- a-rats, McCIellan, as ranking Democrat on the Committee on Government Operations, becomes chairman of that group and of its investigating the position so noisily occupied by Sen- atbr McCarthy for the past two years.

Through his statements last week concerning his chairmanship of the committee, Senator McCIellan gave strong indication that he would conduct the committee's business in a fair and impartial manner, while carrying on relentless efforts to root out any Communists in government. The points he made concerning plans for the group show distinctly that his first thoughts are for the nation's welfare and for the protection of rights of the thoughts most observers felt were often lacking in the junior senator from Wisconsin. First, he emphatically expressed opposition to one-man hearings by any committee member, chairman or otherwise. He said he will recommend a change in the rules to prohibit such investigations, and during his tenure will insist that at least two members be present for both private and public hearings. McCIellan also said that he thought the committee could function properly and effectively on its budget of $150,000.

He pointed out that he would not hesitate to ask for more if it appeared necessary, but he also felt that some economizing could be done. Last year, McCarthy reportedly more money for the investigating subcommittee and was prepared to ask for about $250,000 this year. Another position taken by Senator MoClellan that will indeed mark a from the past two years is his pledge to consult with chairmen of the Internal Security Subcommittee and the Un-American Activities in an effort to provide thorough probae of Communism and yet avoid duplication and waste. Thie spirit of cooperation, and the Arkansas senator's expressed intention to contain his committee's operations its legitimate is, the investigation of governmental operations certainly be a pleasant diversion from the histrionics of the past two And who knows? Maybe Senator McCarthy will learn something. Red China and the British Red Chinese Premier Chou must surely have been talking for home consumption when he said in Peiping that Britain was damaging its Chinese ties by supporting the American position on the Formosa question.

He could seriously have imagined he would frighten the Western world. In the first place, there is nothing very remarkable about the state of British-Chinese relations. The British formally recognized Red China in January, 1950. For more than four years, the Communists did nothing whatever about reciprocating. They spent a good deal of time killing British soldiers fighting with the UN in Korea.

This year, however, after the Geneva conference on the Korean and Indo-China issues, the British and Chinese finally exchanged charge d'affaires, though not ministers or ambassadors. If the Chinese should now choose to cancel this exchange it will hardly be put down as a startling development. Chou actually was pretty vague as to what changes might occur or have already occurred to worsen relations. Certainly no love is lost between the two nations. Britain recognized Red China as a purely practical matter, wishing to accept the fact that the Communists were in reasonably effective con- tion of approval, so we have in this co- trol of mainland China, and to protect British commercial interests-in that area.

In the United States, the idea of recognition seems to carry with it the no- untry a strong body of opinion against taking a similar course. But we should not therefore delude ourselves that the British have tried to get cozy with Red China, and that Chou's statement now protends the end of this happy companionship. That declaration is really about as exciting as a woman announcing she might divorce a man she has been living apart from for 10 years. What Shou is up to is probably the old dictator's game of constantly trying to solidify his position at home by raising the bugaboo of outside enemies. He dusted off the old favorite about the United States trying to encircle the Chinese- Soviet bloc in "preparation for a new world war." He knows full well that our position on Formosa is defensive, and that Chaing Kai-shek's Nationalist forces are not a major threat to the mainland.

He may think, too, that other Asia- tices enjoy hearing Chinese belabor white westerners as intruders on the continent and island peopled by the yellow race. But the Communists must have milked that fairly dry by now. Anyone with the eyes to see and the will to use them knows that the Communists are the greatest intruders of all time. VIEWS OF OTHERS Off to The Elysian Fields According to the automobile ads, the new model cars are either motoramic, futuramic or merely dynamic. Colors range from a combination of cerise and white to chartnise and forest green.

Horse power? Why, man, it is as high as 235 (maybe more). Va-va- voom! Can't you just imagine how the ads of the future will sound? For example: "Get a Star Jet Special now. Don't be forced to keep your feet on old terra firma when you can glide through the lower stratosphere." Or: "Our models have a speed only a little lower than the speed of light and are as graceful as a drop of ventis dew." Or perhaps: "Our double jet afterburners get you off to a quick blast off and our colors range from Mar tain. Pink fco Moonglow." Without question, today's population gets around, in fl not to the lower stratosphere yet, but perhaps to the Elysian Fileds, where it Is hoped that you can move In a more leisurely way and the cares of the Atomic Age can be left (N.C.)

But or good clean political "rasslin matches, the next session will be nything but dull. Many of these bouts may start slowly over relatively minor issues. But these preliminaries are mly curtain-raisers to battles roy- il that will grow out of them.

For instance: Foreign affairs are supposed to be nonpartisan and noncontroversial. Hanging fire as unfinished business before the Sente are ratification of the Manila igreement on Southeast Asia de- ense, the mutual assistance pact with Formosa and the Paris agree- nents for admission of Germany the North Alantfc Treaty Or- All these treaties should be ap- iroved as a matter of routine bus- ness. But they open up the much arger question of foreign. And a rawl can be started on this sub- ect any time. Last year Congress recommend- id that plans be made for liqui- lation of the Foreign Operations Administration.

Its authority ex- 'ires by law June 30, 1955. But a lew and possibly expanded aid- or-Asia program is being prepared or submission to the new Congress. The odds against a victory this plan are tremendous. Another example is provided by he reciprocal trade agreements frogram. The law expires next rune 12, after a one-year extension ipproved by the last Congress.

In after a three-year extension or permanent authority to continue Its provisions, the Eisenhower administration must present a completely coordinated program of foreign economic Full congressional hearings must be held this year. And bitter battles reminiscent of the old tariff wars must be fought to get this program adopted. National defense fights are expected to take up a good bit of time in the new Congress. The draft law expires next June 30. A simple extension under present terms might not be too hard to pass.

But. in taking up, this subject, the Congress must explore the new Department of Defense manpower and reserve policy. This calls not for universal military training as originally conceived, but for something akin to it. And that means a war of words. If the new reserve program should be put into effect, it will mean cutting down on the size of the regular armed forces.

That will tap another hornet's neat. For the Democrats have been critical of the Republican administration's curtailment of, defense on the Air Force. So the whole question of the military budget and military policy must be explored. Along with this and the consideration of the foreign military us-1 sistance program. Sen.

William Knowland (R-, Calif.) may have a chance to get in his suggested complece reappraisal of American foreign policy. The Democrats would probably help him. On the domestic front, labor legislation is always good for a hassle and next year should be no exception with the Democrats again in control of Congress. It will be a three-phase battle at least. Phase or not to revise the Taft-Hartley labor law.

A special task forqe. under ex- President Herbert Hoover's -Commission on Reorganization of Government will submit its report on this subject early next year.

At stake here is the problem of how big or how small the federal government's role should be in public power and reclamation developments. Trying to make the Post Office Department self supporting by raising postal rates enough to cover mail handling costs will bring the usual resistance from pressure groups that want eubsidized service. No matter how this fight comes measure has always been defeated in the will be the usual demand to raise the pay of postal workers and all other government employes. This year they may get it, including a whopping big raise for congressmen themselves, and federal judges. There is never a dull moment in sight for the New Year in Washington.

Erskine Johnson IN HOLLYWOOD The Year in 1954 movie production cut in half as Hollywood concentrated on better movies, telefilm making became as important economically to Movie- town as theater, film making. Big- time producers even weeded out their "Ves men." keeping only those who said "Positively." I heard one film extra say, "Any signs of a job?" and another extra replied: "Xo, not even In my horoscope." Biggest escape from type cast- Ing was June Allyson's shucking of her angel halo to play a scheming, evil-hearted wife in the film version of "The Shrike." Bravest girl of the year was Suzan Ball, who made a movie comeback: on an artificial leg. Mae West made her debut as a night-club entertainer with a group of musclemen at the Sahara Hotel i Las Vegas and announced: "I feel like a one at a time, men." MARIO LANZA "sang" with the aid of some two-year-old recordings on a TV show and men returned to the home screens and sang for his he hadn't lost his voice. That's why I'm thrilled about this.

Ed Gardner retired as Archie on Duffy's Tavern Herb Shriner reported booming business in his home town: "The drive-in theater is going real built cabins." Gregory Peck skipped his romantic star reputation to play bearded, scarred and peg-legged Capt AlKib in "Moby Dick," BOB HOPE decided it was time to give the public a new Bob Hope and starred in a dramatic movie, "Eddie Foy and the Seven Little Foys." His explanation: You can't make those boy- chases-girl girl-chases boy-tell- em-some jokes and crash- they're-married films anymore. Walt Disney brought the famous "Disney touch" to TV screens with a filmed series on ABC.

Columbia refilmed "My Sister Eileen" as a musical following- the Broadway hit of "Wonderful Town." a musical which was based on Columbia's one-time dramatic hit, the same "My Sister Eileen." Fox purchased the filmusical rights to another Broadway hit, "The King and which was based on "Anna and the King oi Siam," a movie previously produced by the same Fox studio.
