struck, successfully, at the party
elders in both House and Senate.
The issues at stake had no direct
relation, though they involved re-
form in procedures-one in the
Legislative field. the other in the
manner of electing our Presidents.
The first broke out several days
ago when "a Republicans in the
House-38 per cent Of the party's
membership there-refused to fol-
low their leadership in the abor-
tive coup the latter had plotted
with Southern Democrats to re-
store to the Rules Committee the
power to bottle up legislation.
This revolt, drawing Republicans
from 81 States, was a rebuke to
the leaders-and the tartest in
recent years-for tying up with
the Dixiecrat element which, in
this instance, aimed at killing of
civil rights and social welfare
measures.

that, like the Senators, he recog-
nized a dangerous political tech
nique when debate sharpened his
eyes.
Lucas Spreads the Word.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
spread the Truman word gladly.
He had kept mum while Senate
sentiment jelled. But in the back
of his mind were two pictures.
One was of Samuel J. Tilden's
being robbed of the Presidency
in 1877. The other was a vivid
image Of the hard bargain the
Dixiecrats or Henry Wallace would
have driven with the Truman
Democrats in 1949 had the elec-
ton proved as close as anticipated.
1t Is probable that a Lucas pro-
posal reinforcing the amendment
by providing that a candidate
must have 40 per cent of the elec-
toral vote to be President, won
needed votes for it.
But Speaker Rayburn, whose
chamber has still to pass upon the
project, demurred to the Presi-
dent that he wasn't sure it was a
good thing. If he can be per-
suaded, his job should not be too

The Senators meanwhile con-
tinue to be proud of themselves.
Their insistence that they did

Lodge the Sparkplug.
Senator Lodge, Massachusetts
Republican, who has been eager
to reverse his party's trend, was
the sparkplug. But pivotal State
Democrats probably made the
largest contribution.
Now, a Lehman of New York

same thing applies to q New

Senator Vandenberg, of Michigan

his colleague, Senator Ferguson,
fought the amendment bitterly.
Presidentially speaking, the
amendme Mt puts all of the Sena-
tors on Lore of an even keel be-
cause it would let them tap all
their strength wherever it lies.
This tendency to minimize geog-
raphy in the selection of candi-
dates must have had it's appeal to
progressives like Senators Lodge
and Morse of Oregon, a Humphrey

tue. too. ..--..
The complexion of the vote
clearly indicates that Senators be-
lieve that the political trend con-

Solicitor General Philip B.
Perlman is still not satisfied that
the Senate amendment draws the
teeth of the splinter parties. He
suggests that the House might
consider adding to 1t a proposal
that the nominee of q national
convention must go on the ballot
as that party's nominee in every
State. Southern boilers could not
then use the invaluable Demo-
cratic designation.

Uprising Against G. 0. P. Leadership
In Congress Seen Signifying Trend

by Senator Lodge and Representa-

In the House, is an approach to
popular election of President in
that it would divide the electoral
vote in each State according to
the proportion of the popular
vote each Presidential candidate
received. Its sponsors are optimis-
tic of success in the House.
For this electoral reform Sena-
tor Lodge rallied the same group
of moderates and progressives in
the party from the East, New Eng
land. the Pacific Coast and the
Central Northwest which has been
restive under the Midwestern
leadership headed up in Senator
Taft.
This substantial difference with
party leaders, following that in
