NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS 4 BROOKLYN EAGLE SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1947 Red Support for Wallace Is Political Kiss of Death By ERNEST UNDLEY 3d Party Threat to Truman May Become Negligible It i- axiomatic among observers and practi loners of politics that a third party headed Henry A. Wallace in 1918 would have at least two it would injure President Truman's of re-election.

It seems as if the more important of Mr Wallace's followers are asking themselves this cpiestion and are tiding no satisfactory answer Nothing i-- lo be gained by linking their fortunes with a cause already lost and they are accordingly cutting themselves loose from Mr. Wallace Senator Pepper has great admiration for the former Vice President, but will have no part of a third party movement. Dr.

Frank Kingdon, who would like to be the Democratic candidate for United States Senator from Jersey, has resigned as co-chairman of the Progressive Citizens ol America, to express his opposition to the proposed candidacy of Mr Wallace Similar action has been taken by Hartley C. Crum, Also joining in the protest is Jacob Potofsky, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America Undoubtedly, Mr. Wallace, being only human, has permitted nis hopes to rise high under the inspiration of the large crowd- that have greeted him in many cities The mere fact that Mr. Foster has singled him out for approbation, however. Is all that is needed to seal his doom, innocent though he may be of sympathy for Communism.

Tht political career ol Henry A. Wallace seems lit have readied a point which rails for a decision Some of the former Vice Presidents followers who have maintained their contacts with the political realities recognize this necessity and have acted acconlinglv. They have not waited for Mr. Wallace lo sa the word They have disassociated themselves from his cause. Apparently, it is the purpose of Mr.

Wallace to enter upon that most hopeless of all political enterprises, a campaign lor the Presidency of the United States as the candidate of a third party. The effort has been made in the past by Theodore Roosevelt, who succeeded only in defeating his tellow-Re-publican. William Howard Tal and by the late Senator LaFollette, who rained only his own State of Wisconsin There is nothing in the political situation as it stands to suggest thai Mr Wallace could carry even one of the 48 States or that he could enlist the support of any element of the voters except the Communists, lie has received the blessing of William Z. Foster What is there in his potential candidacy to justify the continued loyalty of ate significant. The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America have announced that they stand with the C.

I. O. in opposing a national third party in 1948. They are by far the most important union affiliated ith the A. P.

Alex Rose, vice chairman of the A. L. has openly asserted that the P. C. A.

movement for a third ticket is an attempt by pro-Soviet elements to wreck the Marshall Plan. He has openly denounced Wallace fur preaching the Communist line and speaks of a third ticket as a "fifth column which will meet the opposition of "the entire American labor movement and "complete the disaffiliation oi American liberals and pro gressives from ever) organization dominated by (uminu- Henry Wallace ma not have lost all his friends and admirers among American liberals and progressives. Hut he has been losing them in wholesale lots for fifteen months. It is true that in a close elee-Hon, a few thousand votes cast for I third ticket in three States or two. or even one State could be decisive.

But Wallace is a much less serious threat to Mr. Truman than appeared to be a few months ago. He may well end up as a negligible factor. Eisenhower prospects, on the contrary, depend not only on a deadlock in the Republican convention, but upon indications next June that a regular Republican politician could not defeat President Truman. The Republican regulars will not take him or any other unseasoned politicians unless they believe that the alternative is certain or probable defeat.

Some of them might even prefer defeat In the Presidential election to KUenhower's election. By the same line of reasoning, a third ticket would help Governor Dewey less than Senator Taft. but would also hurt him less than General Elsenhower, The public opinion polls of recent months indicate that lie would make a more popular candidate than Taft, but a less popular one than Elsenhower. But the possibility must be considered al-o that by next June a third ticket headed by Henry Wallace would appear to be insignificant. The decision of the Progressive Citizens of America to try to organize a third ticket already has brought about the resignation of two of its important officers.

Dr. Frank Kingdon, cochairman, resigned after opposing this decision unsuccessfully. Dr. Kingdon Intends to seek the Democratic nomination for U. S.

Senator from New Jersey, in California. Hartley Crum. a Ice chairman, has resigned.
