addresses.
. Senator Jenner did not quarrel
with the President. Instead, he
went right ahead with his Indiana
speechmakng-and accused the
Democrats Of deliberately stacking
the cards against American troops
in Korea and then sabotaging the
victory after the troops won it.
Senator Ferguson of Michigan
gave short Shrift to any hope of a
moratorium on political invective.
Il think" he said, "the question
should always be, What are the
facts?' And I know of no way to
have an armistice on telling the
truth"
McLeod's Role
But perhaps the strangest role
of all was played by Robert Walter
Scott Mcleod, who as the State
Departments Administrator of Sc
curity, Consular Affairs and Per-
sonnet is a member of the Presi-
dents executive family"
Early last week, Mr.. Mcleod
locked his desk and hit the road
for a speaking tour in behalf of
the Republicans. His Lincoln week
territory was Wyoming and South
Dakota.
Before he left, Mr.. Mcleod asked
the Civil Service Commission for a
ruling on his status under the
Hatch Act, which forbids partisan
political activity by most executive
branch employees. The commission
said it considered Mr.. Mcleod in
the category to which the act ap-
piled. The law exempts from its
provisions:
l. The President and Vice Presi-
dent.
2. Personnel in the office of the
President.
3. Heads and assistant heads of
executive departments.
4. officers appointed by the
President by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate.
Then the State Department Sc
curity chief asked lawyers in his
own department for an opinion.
They held that Mr.. Mcleod had
rank equal to an assistant secre-
taryship, which would seem to
exempt him under criterion No. 3
listed above.
Mr.. Mcleod went West to stump
for the Republican Party and the
memory of Abraham Lincoln.
When the President, at his press
conference, shushed members of
his official family, the question
arose what Mr.. Mcleod would do
next. He did practically the same
thing he had done before the
Presidents admonition. The night
after the conference, Mr.. Mcleod
asserted that people aren't in
terested in whether loyalty risks
are DRINKS, dope fiends, sex per-
verts or Communists-but they
are interested in getting them out
of Government"

that the times pere too serious
to indulge in pdrttsanship to the
extreme, and he quite cheertully
acknowledged that there must be
Democratic support for the enact
ment OF certain parts OF the pro-
gram.
Ho1Ueuer, he knetD OF no Day In
Which he could stop this kind of
thing except among the members
OF his DUN executive family. And
he must say again that in this re-
gion, he had his o1Dn doubts that
any great partisanship displayed
by members OF the executive de-
pdrtment Was really appropriate
TN this day and time.
Any blanket charges against the
other party he Dould consider not
only completely untrue, but pery
unWiSe-he meant eDen from a po-
htical partisan standpoint. Who
Mould be so foolish as to call all of
another great group treaSonous to
the United States of America?
After all, they fought for America.
Some one asked the inevitable
question about Senator Mccarthy
OF Wisconsin, who had character
lied the Democratic Party as
stitched with the idiocy of Tru-
man, rotted by the deceit of an
Acheson, corrupted by the red
slime of Harry Dexterl White"
Equally inevitably, the President
replied that he would not indulge
in personalities.
A reporter brought up the queS-
ton of the Republican National
Committee and it's chairman,
Leonard Hall. who recently said
he regarded the speech making
activities of Senator Mccarthy as
an asset to the party.
The President said he had no
official position in the National
Committee, even though as mat
ter of course he is always con-
suited before a party chairman is
appointed. In answer to ques-
ton, Gen. Eisenhower said he
would expect the committee chair
man to follow his advice against
extreme. partisanship.
On Friday, Representative Ra-
baut, Democrat, of Michigan laid
responsibility for the name-calling
at Mr.. Halls door, and demanded
that President Eisenhower fire him.

Pensions

Almost lost In the weller OF last
weeks news was q move that
started out to liberalize retire.
ment benefits of Capitol employees,
but came close to being a sweeping
liberalization of pension benefits
for Congressman themselves.
1t all began in the closing days
Of Congress last year when the
Senate approved without fanfare a
bill to increase pension benefits for
Capitol Hill workers. The bill went
to the House where 1t was almost
entirely rewritten.
In the revised version, a Con-
gresham could retire with full
pension at go after 10 years Of
service, or at SIS with reduced ben
eflts. Pensions would have been
computed on the 1--WE highest-paid
years. Members also could have
included their $500 expense al
lowances in computing their sal
AIRY base.
Under present law, Congressman
participating in the pension plan
may retire at 81 after six years
legislative service. They pay 6 per
cent Of their salary into the pen
sion fund and, after retiring, draw
pensions computed at ~ per cent
Of average base salary multiplied
by years Of service.
The rewritten bill swished
through the House. On the other
side, however, Senator Kennedy,
Democrat, of Massachusetts, wanted
a closer look. He asked for a con-
ference with House sponsors and,
after four stormy sessions, a COM
promise was drafted.
Compromise Energies
In the compromise, the retire.
ment age is left at g., but Con-
gresham may retire at go after
10 years service and draw "a per
cent Of the full retirement benefits.
The computation system also was
changed, permitting a pension to
be averaged from congressional
salaries since 1946 rather than on
a members entire career. This
was considered fair to those men,
bers whose legislative careers be-
gan when congressional salaries
were as low as 1900
The revised plan also includes
pension benefits for survivors of
Congressman who die while in Of
flee. This was made retroactive
for the survivors of three Senators
who died last year-Taft of Ohio,
Tobey Of New Hampshire and
Smith OF North Carolina
Senator Kennedy said the five
best years" plan, as passed by the
House, would have added $18 mil
lion onto the tax bill and would
have greatly increased a Congress-
mans benefits without costing him
more than he now is paying The
compromise bill cuts the increased
cost by 100000. he said.
The compromise, which similarly
liberalizes the pension plan for
some 1000 legislative workers. is
expected to be voted on this week.

Coffee

The price of coffee continues to
soar, but why? Last week investi-
cations into coffee prices continued
at a hot pace, and consumers heard
lot of opinions. There were no
final conclusions, however.
The Senate Banking Committee
opened a new study OF the coffee
crisis. First witnesses were officials
of the New York Coffee and Sugar
Exchange, the market place where
most of the coffee consumed in
this country is bought and sold.
These men told the committee the
price rise was a simple demonstra-
ton of the law of supply and de-
mand Coffee was going into a
period of short supply, they said.

and longer coffee breaks. Ergo,

Congress

WY HILE LEADING Republican
w voices were lifted in tribute
to Abraham Lincoln, the oratory
in Congress nearly was stilled.
BY tradition, no important leg
islation is considered during the
Lincoln Day week, so only hand
full of Congressman turned up for
the brief meetings of House and
Senate. Many minor bills were
cleared from the calendars, how
ever.
Still the pending business in the
Senate was the Bricker constitu-
tional amendment. In the coming
week the Senate expects to choose
from among the Bricker proposal
to put close congressional check
rein on the treaty-making power,
the KnoWland substitute to require
more limited supervision and the
George substitute to supervise ex-
ecutive agreements which have
effect as internal law. Or, the
choice might be to drop the whole
thing.
No faction was predicting VIC
tory last week.

But last week the malice was as
thick as Brunswick stew, and char
ity as scarce as ShamrockS at an
Orangemen'S picnic.
1t was the warm-up Of the pol
Ticking season, looking toward the
November elections when control
of both houses of Congress will
be up for grabs.
Throughout the week, President
Eisenhower did his best to stand
aloof from the virulence Of ponti-
cal controversy, and to counsel his
party to use a little less malice and
little more charity in the cam
paigning yet to come.
From some Of his party he got
results, however half-hearted their
agreement with his advice might
have been. But as for others
such as Senators Mccarthy Of Wis
consin and Jenner Of Indiana-the
President might as well have been
talking to the wall.

Economics

On the economic front, the CEN
ter of interest last week appeared
to be the total number of unem-

however, most people appeared too
busy to pay much attention to the
controversy. Government figures
on employment showed wide diff
ferenceS.
The Labor Departments Bureau
of Labor Statistics estimated pay

and that integration will be
gradual.

Actually, Maryland admitted
three undergraduate Negro stu
dents prior to this term. The
first was Negro engineering
