Review Of The Week: Congress Rolls Up It's Sleeves
WITH A SIMPLE prayer fol

WITH A SIMPLE prayer for
w peace and guidance, the SD
Congress of the United States came
into being yesterday at noon.
Whether or not this Congress
has a rendezvous with destiny
a phrase that has become tattered
from recent overuse-it certainly
has a plethora of problems facing
lit. Taxes, spending, prices, defense.
foreign policy, labor legislation
these are only a few of the matters
Congress will have to consider in
the coming months,
AS always, the operation Of
Congress will be in the hands Of
relative old-timers. With few ex-
ceptions, seniority will be the rule,
and the man longest in Office will
be the man with the most say-so.
Whether or not this sort of rule
by longevity is the best possible
rule is a matter both debatable and
debated. But at least it affords
certain continuity of operation
from one Congress to the next.

block a probe of possible subverslve

Grand jury members told the sub
committee that its investigation

Secretary Acheson and Justice
Department spokesmen denied
there had been any interference
with the grand jury. Mr.. Acheson
added that while persons of ques-

The breakdown is only a technical
one, however, because the UNDER
secretaries and civil servants are
used to carrying on in the absence
of a boss.
The latest in Frances recurring
cabinet crises started when Prime
Minister Antoine Pinay lost support
in Parliament and resigned. His
budget and tax program had proved
unpalatable to too many political
parties.
President Vincent Auriol, whose
job it is to dedicate memorials and
find new Premiers, has as.sed four
men to try to form a government.
Guy Mollet, a Socialist; Jacques

publican, of Kentucky. This is his
second appearance on the roster
of the Senate. When Happy"
Chandler resigned in 1945 to be-
come baseball commissioner, Mr..
Cooper was elected to take his
place. He was defeated in 1948
by Virgil Chapman, and then went
to the United Nations as an Ameri-
can delegate to the Security Coun-
gil. A stanch supporter of biparti-
sanismin foreign policy, Mr.. Cooper
has been in open disagreement with
Senator Taft of Ohio on foreign
policy matters. He defeated Sem
ator Underwood, Democrat, in No
vember.

Price Daniel, AZ, Democrat, of
Texas. Mr.. Daniel is the nearest
thing In the Senate to a bipartisan;
he was elected on both the Demo-
cratic and Republican tickets, but
regards himself as a Democrat. He
and Gov. Shivers were among the
leaders of the Texas Democrats for
Eisenhower after Gov. Stevenson
announced his position on tidelands
oil. A newspaperman and lawyer,
Senator Daniel became attorney
general of Texas in 1886 and re-
mained In that job until his elec-

posed in November for the seat
vacated by Senator Connally.
Barry M. Goldwater, A, Repub-

without former Federal Govern

active in State politics. AS legis-

expected to take considerable in

Senator Goldwater's pet projects
at home has been State control
of Indian welfare. He defeated

leader in the 82d Congress.
Albert Gore, As, Democrat, of
Tennessee. AS Representative for
six terms, he has been a strong
backer of the Tennessee Valley
Authority and an expert on farm
legislation. Senator Gore is CO.
author of the Gore-Anderson farm
bill, which is the basis for our
present agricultural program. Al
though he will fit definitely into
the Southern bloc of Senators, he
is nowhere near as extreme in his
views as some others from his
section of the country, including
the man he beat in the Democratic
primary last summer, Kenneth
McKellar.

e Affoire Vincent

Two weeks ago, the Governments
top Loyalty Review Board recon-
mended the firing of John Carter
Vincent from the American For
eign Service, on the ground that
there was reasonable doubt as to
his loyalty. The State Department
ordered Vincent home from his
post in Tangier, but said he was
being suspended, not fired. The
President and Secretary of State
Acheson, it was announced, would
decide what to do about Mr.. Vim
cents case, which revolved around
charges that he had improperly
influenced the State Department
against Chang Kai-shek's govern
ment and in favor of the COM
munist Chinese.
Last night, Mr. Truman and Mr..
Acheson came up with their an
Swer: Set up new loyalty board
for Mr.. Vincent. The Secretary of
State told the President, in effect,
that while he respected the regu-
lar loyalty panel, he could not ac-
cept its findings as final in this
case. Ultimate responsibility as to
Mr.. Vincent's fate, he pointed out,
was his and the President's-at
least until Inauguration day.
Mr.. Acheson recommended the
appointment Of f1ve-man board to
review the evidence again. Here
were his choices: Judge Learned
B. Hand, recently retired from the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
New York; John ]. McCloy, for
mer High Commissioner for Ger
many; James Grafton Rogers and
G. Rowland Shaw, former Assistant
Secretaries of State: Edwin c. Will
son, retired Foreign Service
officer.
Presumably Mr.. Acheson would
accept the word of these men in
!, the Vincent case. Whether the
new Republican administration
would was another matter.

November, he chose to oppose Sem
ator William Benton for a full term

E'AHoire Mccarthy

A Senate subcommittee on priv
ileges and elections has been look
ing for a long time into charges
that the financial ethics of Senator
Joe Mccarthy of Wisconsin were,
to put it mildly, elastic. AS a side
issue, the group also studied charges
involving McCarthy's longtime foe,
Senator Bill Benton of Connecticut.
When the report came out FRI
day night, 1t was a scorcher, but
it really did not add up to anything.
The 400-page report raised an eye
brow at McCarthy's involved fiscal
history, and charged that he had
deliberately set out TO thwart the
investigation" It's criticism of
Benton's "bad handling" of a $500
donation was milder-but it was
still criticism.
Joe McCarthy's reaction was i'm
mediate and typical. He called the
report new low in Smears and had
special unkind word for Republi-
can minority member Hendrickson
of New Jersey: 'He is the only man
in the world who has lived so long
with neither brains nor CUTS"
Despite the report, Joe Mccarthy
was riding high last week. He had
been reelected overwhelmingly to
a second Senate term. AS far as
Bill Benton was concerned, the
people of Connecticut already had
made the definitive decision in re.
gard to him.

ONE OF THE MOST intriguing
- parliamentary dramas of
recent years was at second -act
curtain this week end. Senator
Humphrey Of Minnesota and small
group Of Ahersls; rl1aneuvering to
end the agc-olf institntion Of the
Senate flibpsteI had brought the
matter to 4 novel climax III . busy
week Of otfstage plotting me de-
nouement was due to be played
out early this week to j conclusion
that seemed foreordained. The
liberals, everybody (including the
liberals) agreed, were bound to lose.
In the past, every time In at
tempt has been made to end the
Senate custom of unlimited debate,
it has failed. Perhaps-the liberals
thought last week--these failures
had been due to the use of the
wrong parliamentary tools.
From the beginning of Congress
until 1917, there was no limitation
whatever on Senate debate. Then,
in that war year, a "cloture" rule
was adopted, permitting debate to
be stopped by two thirds vote of
the Senators present, which might
conceivably be as few as 33 mem
bers. Under this rule, cloture was
imposed only four times in 80 years.
Modified CIoture
But in 1949, a Southern Demo-
cratic-Republican coalition got the
cloture rule modified. They fixed it,
so that debate could be ended only
on vote of two-thirds of the entire
membership, or ga Senators. Since
then, cloture has been virtually i'm
possible to impose.
Every time the Northern liberals
tried to attack the problem, they
ran into insurmountable opposition.
They tried to change the Senate
rules and found that cloture could
not be imposed on debate of any
motion to alter the rule-book.
The way to do it, the Northerners
finally decided, was to get rid of the
rules under extraordinary circum-
stances. And, when do extraor-
dinary circumstances obtain? At
the start of Congress.
Their strategy, as it developed,
was something like going from the
Capitol to the White House by way
of Silver Spring. First-at the start
of yesterdays session-the liberals
would ask the chair to rule that
the Senate was not continuing
body; in other words, that the
Senate, at the start of each new
Congress, must adopt its own rules.
This already has been settled many
times in the negative by both the
Senate and the courts, but the
liberals felt it was worth trying
anyway.
Appeal From the Choir
The chair-Vice President Barkley
would be likely to rule against
the liberals. Then they would
appeal the chairs ruling. At this
stage in the parliamentary drama
a simple majority-49-would be
enough to overturn the decision OF
the chair.
If the liberals were successful in
this ploy, the Senate then would
find itself operating under Roberts
Rules of Order. Then, the liberals
hoped, 1t would be simple matter
to adopt "liberalized" Senate rules,
with anti-filibuster provisions.
The carefully laid plans Of the
