Fashion Note

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Next to
finding out what the newest
fashions will be for the coming
season the trick is to find out
what Mamie Eisenhower has
bought from Sally Victor. the
milliner. or from Mollie Parnis.
the dress designer.
It's no secret that the inaugu-
raj ball gown selected by Mrs.
Eisenhower is going to be of pink
decollette poult de sole trimmed
with pink rhinestones and that
it is designed by Nettie Rosen-
stein.
Her 25-inch waistline and pen
chant for fullish skirts indicate
that she may well keep in the
fashion picture the two-piece suit
with that type Of skirt that she
favors. She is a very practical
shopper and has been known to
get the same style done up in
several different fabrics and col
ors. Mollie Parnis has issued a
mo comment" on whether or
not she is doing the inaugural
suit for Mrs. Eisenhower.
The ''hush hush" attitude
about Mrs. Eisenhower's clothes
is partly because the designers
would be the last ones to have
her feel that they are capital
izing on her patronage.
But one has aptly phrased the
whole thing by saying What the
President-elect is to the front
pages of the country's neWspa-
pers, so is Mamie to the. fashion

Closing Foreign Aid Accounts
Minority Leader Believes That Policy Of Economic Help
To Others Has Reached Point of Diminishing Returns

We also knew there was a
point at which the program
would become unmanageable-
a point at which aid would be-
come mere charity. At that
point, it would have to end.
We were seeking allies and not
dependents. We could not in
definitely tax our citizens to
support the rest of the world.
That point appears to be
here now.
The last foreign aid bill was
approved in the face of deep
miSgivingS on the part of a
majority of the members of
Congress. Senator after Sena-
tor arose to announce that he
was voting for his last foreign
aid bill. Only extraordinary ef-
forts on the part of the ad-
ministration succeeded in Sc
curing approval.
At the next session, Congress
may vote some funds to liqui-
date current programs. Some
money may be approved for
Point@Four and other types of
foreign commitments. But only
the most unusual circumstances
will persuade the Nations leg
iSlature to pass the enormous
sums that have become a mat
ter of course in the past few
years
The era of the open Ameri-
can pocketbook is out-as it
should be.
Our allies must learn to live
without huge sums from the
American Treasury - because
those sums will not be forth
coming.
That, however, is only a part
of our problem. We do not
form a new policy by abandon
ing an old one. We do not solve
issues by pretending they do
not exist.
The objectives of the policy
which we have been following
for the past few years are still
valid. We want to contain COM
muniSm and. if possible, send
it on the retreat: We want to
maintain freedom in every pos
sible corner of the world, be-

Did Mccarthy Break the Law?
No Violation Seen in Senator's Release to Reporters
Of Document Worked Restricted, by the Army
Dovid Lawrence

Sometimes, in the hurry
and pressure under which
news is distributed nowadays,
there isn't time to look up
basic law or constitutional
precedents, and an entirely err
roneous impression is uninten-
tionally created.
Thus, from one end of the
country to the other few days
ago went dispatches implying
that Senator Mccarthy had
violated some law when he
gave to reporters a document
which had been marked re
stricted" or classified infor-
nation" by the Army. One
editorial in an Eastern news
paper went so far as to cry
out that the Wisconsin Sen
ator had ignored" the law,
that he was not "above the
law" and so on.
Actually, if the Senator vio-
lated any law by publishing
the document which the Army
had distributed to 100 officers
so that they might study the
meaning of Communist phi
IoSophy, so did the newspapers
and press associations which
printed what he gave them.
The truth is no law was
violated in either case. For
there is no statute which for
bids disclosure or publication
of a Government document
just because somebody in the
Army or the Navy or the Air
Force happens to mark it as
classified" A thousand exec
utive orders may be issued by

ment personnel to keep things
secret, and Government en-
ployes can be punished for

cause it is vital to our security
that we not be isolated as free
men.
We can adhere to those OBJ
jectives. But we must work
out new methods for their at
tainment.
The details of a new foreign
policy are far from clear. But
/ believe that the great major
ity of Americans will agree on
certain guidepoSts which we
can follow.
First. there must be no ap-
peasement. Our leaders must
make no deals" which peddle
chunks of the free world to
communism like pieces of real
estate. Nor must we give sane
tion to a dictator's enjoyment
of the fruits of aggression.
Second, there must be no
dollar diplomacy" twentieth
century style. We cannot hope
to buy friends and allies, and
we should not try. We should
seek to encourage the economic
health of free nations through
sound trade policies from
which we would all profit. But
we cannot afford to sap our
own vitality in a futile effort
to support people incapable Of
supporting themselves.
Third, we must seek allies
who are capable and willing to
make their full contribution to
the common defense. In the
past, what we have called
mutual assistance" has turned
out to be mutual only in the
sense that we give and they
take. We must insure that the
concept Of mutuality governs
our dealings with the other
free nations.
Finally, we should seek to
translate the slogan trade,
not aid" into a meaningful
program. 1t is only by the un-
fettered exchange of goods and
services that the free world
can be built up into a healthy
economic unit. Until that day
arrives, our unity against COM
munism will be precarious
indeed.

The Americans here, of
course, are mainly busy with
the practical problems of
every day. There are plenty of
them, but they do pretty well.
The military, especially, have
no complaint. Though the
reins of the occupation are
growing ever looser, the clean,
industrious, efficient Germans
fulfill their contracts and work
hard, and the work never has
to be redone, as in France.
Of course, too, the military
advantages of German re-
armament are so obvious,
speculation about the future
and a remembrance of things
past are not encouraged.
When Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer-the "old man" to
the Germans and trusted by
the allies as "The European
won handsomely at last weeks
election, it was because many
Germans went to the polls,
possibly for the first time, to
vote not for the father image
but for the European. These
first voters included many

hated politics or were bored
by it.
Now they hate the thought
of what emotions may stir in
the hearts of Germans when

President Schedules
Farley Today With
.4G. 0. P. Senators
BY the Assoeioted Press

DENVER, Sept. 15.-President
Eisenhower booked a summer
White House conference today
with four Republican Senators.
He scheduled the meeting with
Senators Millikin of Colorado,
Butler of Nebraska, Barrett of
Wyoming and Mundt of South
Dakota.
James C. Hagerty, presidential
press secretary, told newsmen
the session had no particular
significance.
Cali four Senators are from
this general area of the country
and all separately requested ap-
pointments to see the President,
so he asked them to come in at
the same time" Mr.. Hagerty
said.
Conferred Last Week.
Senator Millikin, chairman of
the Conference of All Republican
Senators, conferred with Gen.
Eisenhower at his vacation head
quarters here last week. The
Senator said after that meeting
that he and the President had
discussed, among other things.
the legislative program which
Congress will tackle when it re-
convenes-in January unless the
President calls an earlier special
session.
Senator Millikin said last week
he doubted it would be necessary
to call a special session to con-
slider increasing the current $275
billion ceiling on the national
debt. Administration officials
said in August, after the Senate
Finance Committee shelved Gen.
Eisenhower's request for a SIS
billion increase, that the Presi-
dent would try to avoid calling
Congress back.

tive program for the regular
session starting in January al

marked.
Spotting row upon row of In
ternal Revenue records, Gen.
Eisenhower was told they were
income tax refund receipts for
1943.
"Well I'll be darned," the
President declared, they never
refunded me anything"
Plans to Visit Abilene.
Yesterday Gen. Eisenhower
made tentative plans to visit his
family homestead in Abilene,
Kan, october 16.
The summer White House
announced that, weather permit
ting, the President will fly to
Abilene from Kansas City, Mo-,
for a brief afternoon visit to his
ooyhood home.
Mr.. Hagerty also announced
that Gen. Eisenhower will be
back in Kansas City that evening
for an informal talk at cere-
monies dedicating the new head
quarters building of the Ameri-
can Hereford Associations He
also will make an appearance
that evening at the show-open-
ing event of the American Royal
Livestock and Horse Show As

announced that the President
will make a major speech in

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-A

night that Winston Churchill is

aration of announcements of his
death.
Henry j. Taylor. American

Mr.. Taylor said Mr.. Churchill

Co. to start the project, and is
now supervising it from his
country residence at Westerham,
Kent.
The work." Mr.. Taylor said,
consists of quietly assembling
hsi own choice of excerpts from

reel appearances, to get these
into what he considers their
proper balance to be shown on

On What Doth Donkey Feed?
Jubilee in Chicago Raises Question Of Basis for Optimism
OF Democrats; No Serious Contenders Aaoinst AdIo

Most interesting thing about
that Democratic jubilee in
Chicago continues to be the
very fact of it's being held.
What have the Democrats, out
of power, wandering in the
wilderness, got to jubilate
about?
Starting out as a Midwest
ern conference of a kind not
calculated to attract any par
ticular attention, it grew into
a national event, drawing no
tables and spectators from all
parts of the country. Partly
responsible perhaps was the
fact that it was made to coin
eide with the homecoming
party for the hometown boy
who had been the party'S can
didate for President. But,
after all, that had been
planned as a local affair. And,
after all, the local boy was
merely returning from a pri-
vate trip around the world.
And, still further after all, he
was a defeated, not a victorious
candidate.
Of serious purpose the gath
ering has seemed to have none,
save some discussion among
party leaders of ways and
means to wage the congress
sional campaign a year from
now. That and the lifting,
through one of those $100-a-
plate dinners, of some part of
the $250,000 deficit in the
party'S treasury.
Yet they assemble from far
and near to pound one another
on the back and sing Happy
Days Are Here Again" On
what meat doth our donkey
feed that he hath grown so
raucous? For there is no mis-
taking the Democratic convic-
ton that Republican control of
Congress will be upset in '54
and that the man who gets the
Democratic nomination in Sc
will be lucky man.

the general conviction that the

Force in Europe) is preening

by its splendid band in Ger

for the American morale. The

"Oh, they liked it," said a
German woman gloomily.
They liked it too much. 1t was

So far, no organized mill
tarism or Hitlerism has gained
enough prestige or strength
that it needs now to be con-
sidered as a political force. It
cannot even be an item in a
coalition, though it is making
some noise.
The Germans are at one of
the great watersheds of their
history. For a hundred years
the French terrorized Europe,
but, since Waterloo. they have
initiated no martial adven-
lures. Perhaps the Germans
are more tired of it all than
some of their own people think.
After all, they still face recent
and massive ruins and great
problems while their country is
still divided.

committee of the Senate or the
House of Representatives of
the United States of America,
or joint committee thereof"
Perhaps the most significant
case that got to the courts
occurred when Hugo Black.
then a Democratic Senator
from Alabama, conducted his
famous committee investiga-
ton in 1885 on the subject of
lobbying. Private messages
between an editor and his as
sociates were unlawfully seized
from a telegraph Office and
disclosed by the Federal Com
munications Commission to
an investigator for the com
mittee. But the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals held
and the case was never re-
versed by the Supreme Court
that. even though the in
formation was obtained i'm
properly, the data could be
used by the committee. The
court said that "the universal
rule, so far as we know it. is
that the legislative discretion
in the discharge of its con-
stitutional functions, whether
rightfully or wrongfully ex-
ercised, is not a subject for
judicial interference"
Senator Black evidently
didn't suffer for his action
because, two years later, he
was elevated to the Supreme
Court. Now this correspond
ent isn't advocating that
Senator Mccarthy be given a
place on the Federal bench, as
was once facetiously mentioned
in these dispatches, but merely
points out that the Wisconsin
Senator may look upon the
1885 precedent as his justi-
f1cation in parallel circum-
stances for using whatever in
formation he gathers.

BONN, Sept. 15.-WeStern
Germany's brilliant postwar
recovery, each year more strik-
ing, insures Germany's re-
armament. The only question
now can be what form it will
take.
The NATO nations, all with
troubles of their own, are
obviously incapable of resisting
what would not only be an i'm
portant contribution to the
collective defense of Western
Europe but might tighten their
own burdens. Only France,
with her understandable emo
tional bias, is being difficult
and she has yielded in prin-
ciple.
The plainly ascending power
of the former enemy evokes
the specter of German militia
rism not as an academic exer-
else but as at the very least
a calculated risk. Encouraged,
indeed virtually compelled, to
rearm, will she do it again?
Americans in Germany are
generally the optimists. 1t is
the Germans who are pes
simiStS.
The pessimism is privately
expressed and quite apart
from the official attitudes of
the important men of both
nations. Officially, everything
is made for love.

By Senator Lyndon B. Johnson

The major issue before the
next session of Congress will
be to hammer out a new for
eign policy for America.
We have reached a turning
point in our foreign relations.
The policies which fit the needs
of yesterday do not conform
well to the requirements of
today. We must be sufficiently
flexible to change our strategy
and our tactics to meet the
changing realities.
For a number of years,
American foreign policy has
been based upon the assump-
ton that American aid was
essential to maintain freedom
in Europe. The assumption
was well founded. Without our
help, postwar European recov-
cry would have been impos-
Sible. Country after country
would have turned in despera-
ton to communism. The free
world would have Shrunk to
the dimensions of the Ameri-
can continents.
The United States would
have been an island of freedom
with its shores constantly bat
tered by surging waves of COM
muniSm.
At no time, however, did
Americans contemplate an in
definite program of aid to Eu-
rope. We thought of it as tenn
porary help to enable friends
and neighbors to stand on
their own feet once again. We
thought of it as a method
through which free nations
could become self-supporting
and make their contribution
to the mutual defense against
Communist aggression.
