more tightly in the grip Of
conservatism than any in re-
cent times, even including the
Republican 8Oth Of 1947-49.
This Is reflected by the key
officials who will manage the
affairs of both parties.
The Republican Party in
Congress Is securely under
control Of the dominant Sen
ator Taft wing In both House
and Senate, while the South
ern conservative wing Of the
Democratic Party, with whom
the Taftites long have enjoyed
a working agreement, is in the
saddle in the Democratic
Party in both branches.
While this set-up is not sur
prising, nor anything striking
ly new or unusual. 1t is worth
pointing out to the public in
advance so that what happens
henceforth can be understood.
And what happens may not
be exactly what was expected
by so many Of those who voted
enthusiastically, either for
Gen. Eisenhower or Gov. Ste
venSon.

point out also that the real

Our contacts with foreign

there seems to be no reason

Bork|ey Puts Senators at Ease
New Congress Convened in Tense and Bitter Mood,
But Vice Presidents Humor Smooths the Wuy

The 83d Congress con-
vened in a mood of tension
and bitterness.
Had it not been for the
sweet, sane humor Of Vice
President Barkley, something
even less attractive might have
developed in the Senate, but
his sure sense Of atmosphere
again served the Republic well.
Repeatedly his light touch
eased the strain of the somber
session.
Democrats, incidentally, al
ready are suggesting that he
must run again for the Senate
in 1854 against Republican
John Sherman Cooper, who
has just been elected to I'LL
out the unexp1red term OF the
late Virgil Chapman.
The reasons for the 63rd's
mood are both political and
personal.
The new leadership takes
over with only q knife-edge
margin of control in the
Senate and nothing handsome
in the way Of a House ma
jority. Even one offended Sena-
tor is q hazard to them.
Senator Taft. Of course. can
depend on the old conservative
coalition in most economic. and
social matters, but now the
emphasis has shifted to the
disadvantage of both partners.
Nor will President Truman be
around as the scapegoat both
sides felt they could def1ie with
impunity.

rewarded.
Senators Anderson. Douglas,
Humphrey, Hunt, Gillette and
Kefauver are up in two years.
They have everything to gain
by a continuing assault upon
the coalition control.
Senator Mccarthy is the
cause Of a deep personal un-
happiness on the part of many
Senators. Democrats were
warned that If they asked him
to step aside. Republicans
would ask Senator Chavez to
step aside. Only a few hours
before the swearing-in, the
Senator from Wisconsin was
the subject Of an uncompli-
mentary Senate subcommittee
report which. however, evaded
the subcommittee's plain duty
10 ask the Senate to take the
appropriate action.
Very few Senators are in q
position to complain about
lack of courage in dealing with
Senator Mccarthy. What they
can expect from him was clear
ly shown when Senator Hem
erickson of New Jersey, who
had helped delay the report
and had protected him in
many ways, was assailed by
him as "a miracle man, the
miracle being he has lived 50
long without brains or CUTS"
Senators know this kind Of
thing makes q sour joke of
"the greatest gentlemen's club
in the world" They know the
subcommittee ducked a show
down with Mccarthy and that
so far the whole Senate is do
ing the same. They may per-
sist In such evasion, but they
still are capable of being en-
barrassed by it.

Congress is control and leader
ship by Southern Democrats,
a majority of whose leaders
either did not raise q hand for
him or gave him only lip serv-
ice and sat by idly to see Gen.
Eisenhower roll UP q tremen-
dous vote in most Southern
States that was enough to
topple some Of them over into
the Republican column. There
were. Of course, exceptions to
this apathetic role.
Texas shares the leadership
Of the Democratic Party in
Congress. with Representative
Sam Rayburn party leader in
the House and Senator Lyn-

Strange Technique on Vincent
Acheson Board Cleared Diplomat, Truman Board Ord
Him Fired; Nov New Acheson Group Tokes Over
Dovid Lowrence:

President. Truman has sud-
denly kicked overheard the
usual procedure for detecting
and Furnishing persons in the
Government employ concern
ing whom there is reasonable
doubt as to loyalty.
In difference to the views Of
Secretary Of State Acheson
who refuses to believe that
any body in the foreign serv-
ice Of the State Department
could possibly be Influenced by
Communist intrigue. MIR. Tru-
man has publicly repudiated
what is known as the Presi-
dents Loyalty Review Board.
This is his own tribunal, set up
to weigh the evidence collected
from the FBI and other
sources.
But just as the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt publicly repu-
dated the Supreme Court Of
the United States because Of
its 5-to-4 decisions and an
nounced himself in favor Of
appointing more judges to
overcome that majority. so Mr..
Truman now scraps the 10y
atty Review Boards 3-to-2
decision in the case Of John
Carter Vincent and yields to a
recommendation from Mr..
AcheSon that another loyalty
board Of five be appointed to
see if they can't come up with
some other decision.
This is a strange technique
with which to confront the
people Of the United States in
the face Of the crusade against
Communists and Communist
influence in the Department Of
State. But what Is worse-by
the device Of suppression on
orders from the President
the American people now have
no way Of knowing even the
names Of the members Of the

To mention only one specific
issue, you will in due time see
the paradoxical spectacle of

Truman, twice vetoed that

Will Senator johnson be
representing the great rank
and file Of the Democratic
Party? Or representing State
and sectional interests and
a powerful private interest
which, incidentally, contributed
a great deal to the successful
Eisenhower campaign in his
own State? It must be said
for Senator johnson that, af-

fellow Democrats, he said at a

MIR. AcheSon tell the public
whether he himself read that
record?
The examiner who Sifted the
evidence and analyzed it spent
two months on that task. and
his own report is a lengthy
one. It took the panel Of i've
of the Presidents Loyalty Re-
view Board a month to decide
the case. In the face Of this
time element, does it mean
that the new board will give
cursory treatment to all the
evidence and report in a few
days? Will 1t sit day and night
for two weeks to reach a con-
clusion? Will it have time to
re-examine any Of the wit
nesses? Will it continue to
function past January 20
and does this mean Mr.. Ache
son will have passed the buck
to the new administration?
The inference is inescapable
that neither President Tru-
man nor Secretary Acheson
dared to affirm q decision
which meant that q high for

tial in steering American poll

a policy which helped to bring
about Communist domination

When the new President and
Secretary of State come into
office. it will be incumbent
upon them to make public the
examiners report, If nothing
else. Mr.. Acheson has chosen
on his own initiative to analyze
the testimony and to give q
one-sided impression. The

Mr.. Taft's battles. Gone are
the days when Southern DEM
ocrats led against a Demo-
cratic President while being
quietly furnished with needed
Republican votes carefully
culied from States where the
individual Senator could af-
ford to help that particular
cause.
When Senator Taft crosses
the aisle for Southern votes
now. he must do so in the full
consciousness that there will
be repercussions elsewhere in
the Nation for the Republican
President.
The Southerners, on the
other hand, must now do the

brief summary supplied in the
formal letter of tranSmittal
from Hiram Bingham. chair
man Of the Presidents Loyal
ty Review Board.
Actually, as Mr.. Acheson in
his public statement comedies,
he has had access to all the
documents and hence his
comments deal with matters
not revealed in Mr.. Bingham's
letter, which thus far is the
only document in the case the
public has been authorized to
see.
In order to understand the
peculiar sequence Of events in
the Vincent case, it is neces-
sary to know that the Depart

which cleared MIR. Vincent.
Then the case came before the
Presidents board in what is
known as q "post-audit." This
system was established In order
that a department would not
be the final judge Of the loyalty
Of its own personnel, since
most of the departmental
boards are made UP Of officials
who have known the accused
or have q special interest in
upholding the good name Of
their department.
But now, after the Presi-
dents board has rendered its
verdict, the head Of the State
Department goes to the Presi-
dent and persuades him to al
low another State Department
appointed board to advise him
whether or not to accede to
the verdict Of the Presi-
dents board which recon-
mended that Mr. Vincent be
fired. There will, therefore.
be no further opportunity for
the Presidents own loyalty
review board to review the new
proceeding.
Mr.. Truman owes it to all
employees Of the Government
who have been declared ineli-
gible heretofore to give them a
similar chance to have their
case tried by new tribunals set
up by the department from
which they have been removed
as q consequence Of q recon-
