Pleasant Iowa wednesday evening november 25, 1970 Price to cents Cloudy these Days by John Chamberlain senator scoop Jackson could be the democrats Man in Between his political runs Richard Nixon was the determined world traveler. Now the report is that Maine a democratic senator de Muskie seeking the 1972 presidential nomination of his party plans to Glt of the Nixon round the Globe route with a special Stopover in Moscow where the soviet leaders Brezhnev and Kosygin have said they would be a very interested in talking with the senator. This sort of thing is a calculated risk for a presidential candidate for nobody can be sure about the Quality of soviet american rela Toins in 1972. But if i were de Muskie id toe leery about a Moscow visit. The signs in the heavens Are rather against the idea that the soviets will really want detente. In Chile the local communist party with sensitive positions in the new Allende leftist coalition Cabinet is like Bra or pox keeping an Anticipatory quiet. In the Middle East the soviets Are mane vering with both patience and skill to have the Suez canal reopened so that their Mediterranean ships can link up with their Indian Ocean base facilities in Somaliland and elsewhere. The world could Darken considerably before 1972 for any democratic presidential aspirant who Hopes to capitalize on a Friendly relationship with Russia. Too when the Liberal pundits talk a bout a possible democratic ticket for 1972, the same old names recur. Muskie leads followed at some distance by Teddy Kennedy George Mcgovern Birch Bayh and Hubert Humphrey. True enough Muskie Kennedy and Humphrey All came through handsomely in the recent election. But who was the really popular Democrat his name happens to be Henry or a scoop a Jackson the senator from the state of Washington. Where Muskie without important opposition won by 62 per cent in Maine and Teddy Kennedy managed a 63 per cent Victory in Massachusetts against a Republican Josiah Spaulding who did not differ with him on a single major Issue scoop Jackson romped through in Washington with 83.9 per cent. That in an a coerced election is a real runaway margin. The significant thing about Jackson is that he combines an unsullied Domestic liberalism with a hard stand on military preparedness and an anti communism that is staunch without being obstreperous. There is considerable evidence to show that outside of the South where democrats can be domestically conservative there Are the most profitable positions for a Democrat to take. Save for the a a name democrats a Humphrey Kennedy Muskie Adlai Stevenson Iii John Tunney a the Northern candidates who combined Domestic liberalism with a reputation for Dovis Ness did not do too Well on november 3.

White House press Secretary Ronald l. Ziegler said tuesday the president planned to be tougher and More specific than he has Ever been in denouncing inflationary wage and Price increases. In Wyoming the democratic history professor senator Gale Mcgee an anti Dove won comfortably. Vance Hartke a Dove squeaked through in Indiana by talking about economics. In Connecticut dovish Joe Duffey lost his senatorial bid. But Connecticut democratic congressional candidates such As John Monagan of Waterbury who Are Liberal without getting purple about the military Industrial Complex had no trouble. There was of course Tom Dodd the strongest anti communist of them All despite the censure of his colleagues the Senate he ran up a respectable vote As an Independent in Connecticut and his promised bid to run for Congress in 1972 As a Democrat must be taken seriously. The great series of publications on the nature of the cold War which Dodd sponsored As a member of the subcommittee on internal Security stands As a Monument to prescience with two of the titles Robert conquests a the human Cost of soviet communism and Richard walkers a the human Cost of chinese communism a still to come. Someone in the Senate should keep the series going. If the soviets cause no undue commotion Between now and 1972 Muskie could profit from a Moscow Stopover. But if the Hopes for an Era of negotiation should prove illusory it would be an intelligent move if the democrats turned to senator Jackson to carry their presidential Banner.
