"a Call for Mr.. Norman Thomas
Joint Committee on Economic Report Might Clear Air
By Heorine From Real Prophet of Gloom and Doom

30 Spokesman for the Republi-
2can Party, notably National
: Chairman Leonard Hall, accuse
Democratic Spokesmen of try
ing to talk the country into
depression. Presidential ad-
viSers write phrases like
prophets of gloom and doom"
into the Presidents speeches,
with the fairly clear implica-
-tion that these prophets speak
for the Democratic Party
'"' The Democratic spokesmen,
however, angrily resent the
inference that they are seek
. ing to promote a depression
or even a recession, although
some of them insist that the
72ratter, though lesser, un-
: 4~pleasantneSs already has come
upon us. They are seeking,
they say, to compel the recog-
milton of certain signs of the
times and urging that vigorous
: steps be taken to foreStall the
possibility of a depression.

Monion Too Busy for His Job
His Many and Long Road Trips on the Lecture Circuit
About Which He Wqs Worned Led to Dismissal

81, DR.. Clarence E. Manion was
not asked to resign as head of
the Presidents Commission on
Inter Governmental Relations
until after he had been several
times warned that his contin-
sual speech-making was endan-
-gering the success of the COM
mission.
- A pet project of President
Eisenhower, who feels deeply
that new light is needed on
the question of Federal-State
relationships. the commission
is potentially one of the most
important acts of his admins
tration. It's findings could
comprise the blueprint for a
counter-revolution to the New
Deal.
The White House objected
both to DR.. Manion's many
absences from Washington and
to what he said. They feel
ethat the commission has been
drifting and they blame it on
the fact that the chairman was
so much away and seemingly
so absorbed in other prob
1lems.
=, They were embarrassed by
what he said for several rea-
sons. He has been generally
introduced as the chairman of
the Presidents commission
after which he took positions
radically different from the
President on the Bricker
amendment and other issues.
:" The President felt also that
wide public acceptance could
. not be achieved for the COM
MISSIONS findings unless the
chairman appeared more ju-

DR.. Englar refused to say that

Nevertheless, he refused to drink

irate citizen.

East and West would be a
cure-all not only for the eco
nomic problems of our allies
but for political worries as we'll.
The Kremlin caused the visit
of group of French and Brit
ish businessmen to Moscow
coincidential with the Berlin
meetings. There was large talk
about huge orders the U.S.S.R.
wanted to place in France and
Britain for machine tools. But
the bright talk did not have
the expected political reper-
cussions. 1t appears from re-
cent reports that the Western
businessmen are not alto
gether happy about vague So
Wet promises of payment for
their orders. The Soviet gov
ernment's credit reputation Is
somewhat spotty: the orders
appeared to be firm, but terms
for payment in cash or raw
materials were decidedly less
so.
It would be pushing opti-
mism too far to say that the
results of Molotov's ,intran-
sigeance in Berlin has re-
suited in a genuine Tightening
Of the somewhat shaky ties
between the United States and
Western Europe. Much still
remains to be done in that di-
rection. The tough problem Of
Trieste remains unresolved, al
though the United States and
Britain have assured the Ital-
ians repeatedly on the eventual
return of the territory to Italy.
The strongly anti-Communist
government of Premier Gui-
seppe Pella fell on that ac-
count. The new Premier Scel-
ba will be unable to remain in
Office long if our formal prom
ises on Trieste remain unful-
filled. No one can say def
nitely what we have promised
the French with regard to Indo-
China. And unless we live up
to the commitments we are
making. the present happy con-
solidation of the allied lines
may be only temporary.

marked for him. When that
fell through. he was recon-
mended to Attorney General
Brownell for Solicitor General.
Seemingly, warning signals
were raised somewhere about
his rampant individualism at
that time.
Perhaps neither the other
suggested appointments or
such signals ever reached the
President personally. In any
case, he appointed DR.. Manion
to the commission last Sep
tember 4. From the start he
was embroiled in controversy.
beginning with his famous TV
statement that the Tennessee
Valley Authority shouldn't have
been built and now should be
sold to private industries.
What is at least as compel
ling to President Eisenhower is
the fact that the commission
has held only five meetings
and that its work so far merits
the adjective of sketchy.
The President is expected to
ask for more time for it. This
would have been necessary in
any case as the job is formi-
dable and difficult.
Senator Bricker might have
been expected to take the floor
in DR.. Manion's cause: they
are intimately associated in
the great amendment project,
that claim to fame which the
Senator now sees going down
the drain. Whether the Bricker
group will be madder at the
President than they already
were is to be doubted.

dicial and less narrowly parti-
san than DR.. Manion.
Reliable sources say that
DR.. Manion gave his White
House critics a hot argument
on all points they raised. He
said he had been promised he
could go on with his lecturing.
He insisted that what he said
in his lectures was implicit
in the Eisenhower campaign
promises. He also reminded
them that similar speeches
proved effective in their be-
half during the campaign and
he is quoted as saying he got
several million votes for Eli
senhower."
DR.. Manion is on sound
ground when he argues. as he
often does, that his views
were we'll known before his
appointment. A Democrat. he
has for years been making
fiery attacks on the policies
pursued by his party, espe-
cially in the field of interna-
tional agreements, and it was
one of these that propelled
him into the campaign.
The Republican National
Committee got a barrage of
favorable reports on it and
decided to feature him under
the sponsorship of Democrats
for Eisenhower. The President
met him and was favorably
impressed.
At one period prior to the
Inauguration, Eisenhower ad-
