The Word Today

WASHINGTON IN - President
Eisenhower seems. 10 be taking
the long view in his four-year job
81 getting along with Congress:
Be patient. II he had begun to
throw his weight around, it would
be understandable.
He won his election oyerwhelm-
ingly. His fellow Republicans
sqheaked through to q majority in
Congress SO. slim it couldn't be
much simmer. Undoubtedly he
pulled enough Of them along to
give them the majority.
His reaction. to the bumps al
YeAdy given him by Republicans
has been restrained. But, then,
none of the bumps so far has been
Of major importance. So he hasn't
had much reason to mount his
high horse.
Sen. Mecarthy's investigation of
the STATE Departments Voice of
America. while persistent, hasn't
pulled the roof down so far.
And the insistence of Rep. Reed
(R-NY), chairman Of the powerful
House Ways and Means Commit
tee, On 4 tax cut in the face of
Eisenhower's wanting to 60 slow,
has been d headache but can't be
final unless both houses approve.
In handing Congress carefully
the ideal result for Eisenhower
would Be always tothave 4 majoriy
with him-thus surrounding any

final showdown vote on any issue.
Through patience with a MAYER
lex beaten By an Eisenhower ma
jority In Congress today, the Presi-
dent might win, him over to the
majority against some other nav
srick tomorrow.
Eisenhower's problem VIII be to
let Congress 90 as far as it wishes,

necessary and so long as 1t doesn't
