The present law expired June II

anxious to get 1t back on the books.

now expired, existing agreements

President Eisenhower asked Con.

Attempts BY House Republicans

NOT FOR COP ALONE

WASHINGTON.- Dwight D. Eli
senhower has been inaugurated as
as President of the United States
and now, campaign issues aside,
is the President for all the people
and not simply the standard bear
er of the Republican Party.
Those of us who are Democrats
owe him our support and allegi-
anee as citizens, and the vast ma
jority of us will give him the full
measure of our support in those
things he seeks for the advance
ment of our nation, the betterment
the cementing of the bonds of
strength which viii give US world
peace.
Along with my colleagues who
are about evenly divided as to par
| ty allegiance, I observed the in
augural ceremony as an official
witness and part Of the formal par
ty on January 20. (There are now
48 Republicans, Al Democrats and
1 Independent in the Senate ! am
sure that most of us in both par
ties feel that President Eisenhow-
er, from the moment he touched
the nations heart with display
of humble devoutness by starting
his four year term with a person
al prayer, begins his White House
service in moving spirit of dedi.
cation to great task.
At any rate, we must depend
upon President Eisenhower's lead
ership in this "Time of Tempest
and never stoop to petty party poll,
tics. We must seek to serve only
the national welfare.
For we in the minority party,
this is no time for pure negativism
and distractions but a time only
for constructive efforts to strength
en- our country and establish world
peace, and we, as the party of 10y
al opposition, must hold the ma
jority party accountable on such
principles.
