With remarkable unaminity,
Americans here-official, press,
private citizens-answer that
they simply do not know.
Some like him less than
others but these seem to be
chiefly people who have a kind
of vested interest in his po-
litical rivals. They have per-
haps formed a close personal
friendship for a former French
Premier or have so deep a
commitment to the European
Defense Community that they
cannot forgive M. Mendes-
France for failing to save it.
A few with large business
interests distrust his reforms.
American officials, however,
declare that the cartel-ridden
French industry played a ma
jor role in defeating EDO be-
cause it feared German COM

The controversial French
Premier contributes largely to
the general uncertainty about
his place in history because he
has a quality rare in politics
the world over. He is secre-

siStently.

Statesmen Of eight nations
have picked UP gold pens in
Manila and signed the SEATO
pact. providing for a South
east Asia defense alliance
against Communist aggression.
But despite the fanfare and
plaudits for this latest effort
to stem the Red drive to dom
mate the world. the United
States is still standing alone as
the sole barrier to the Kremlin's
designs.
The Manila agreement
pledges each signatory nation
to take action, in the event of
armed attack against any part
of the huge territory encom-
passed by the pact, ito meet
the common danger in accord
ance with its constitutional
processes"
But the memory of the &C
ton in the French Assembly
on the all-important European
Defense Community treaty is
all too fresh to enable any but
the most optimistic to place
much faith in the efficacy
of constitutional proceSSes" to
halt aggression.
The EDO agreement was be-
fore the French Parliament
for interminable m o n h S.
When action was finally taken,
it was an unequivocal repudi-
alton of the proposal - a
French proposal in the first
place. And this was only ac-
ton on a plan, not on a real
ity such as armed attack.
What would be the time con-
sumed in French politicking
while a Communist army in
vaded some part of the South
east Asia treaty area? Or
would the Reds obligingly
wait?
Another paragraph Of the
SEATO pact provides that, in
the event of a threat by other

part of the treaty area, the
signatory nations shall con-
suit Immediately" onsmeasures

independence. But those who
deal with him in behalf of the
United States do not believe
at all that this was sudden
brainstorm. Their guess Is that
he has had it all figured out
for a long time what he would
do as Premier.
Thus. they hope that he has
sensible and salable ideas to
take the place of EDO even
though he has never opened
his mind to them about pos
sible alternatives. 1t is a hope
only. The long, cozy CONVERSE
tions to which politicians are
prone are not there in the
background to be drawn upon
for clues.
Although they didn't COM
plain publicly for diplomatic
reasons, United States diplo-
mats got a daily diet of frus-
tration when dealing with the
French Premier on EDO dur
ing the past few critical weeks.
The one thing he promised, he
performed. EDO was brought
to a vote. For that they are
grateful. But they were never
able to figure out just how
M. Mendes-France felt per-
sonally about it, and they
aren't today.
This is because the vote
that defeated EDO came on
a parliamentary maneuver.

very different from practices
common to the United States
Congress.
Many a measure has died a
tortuous death on Capitol Hill
because leaders did not care
to risk their prestige on a di-
rect vote. Politicians usually
take the attitude that when
you don't have the votes, the
other reasons don't matter.
EDO advocates contend that
M. Mendes-France, by agrees
sive leadership, could have pro-
duced the needed majority.
This may be true. It is also
slightly reminiscent of post
mortems on lost causes at
home. 1t must remain a mat
ter of opinion.
Certainly he did not give the
idea produced by his political
rivals whole-hearted accept
ance. 1t is agreed. too. that
nobody has ever patiently and
we'll explained EDO to the
French people.
To the question of whether
the clever. lawyer and fiscal
expert, who as French Pre-
mier battles diplomats. can be
a popular leader of France, the
answer generally returned is
an emphatic yes. The French
are described as hungry for
leadership, despite their .aunt-
ed individualisrn, and the In
do-China settlement gave M.
Mendes-France real impetus.

For many weeks Klimov was

Every attempt was made to

was driven in a United States

Soviet zone and there released
to shift for himself. America
was washing its hands of him.
That journey to the frontier
was a macabre affair for the

been informed Of the decision

that, like so many Of his

censure vote to be answered
when the final roll call is
taken in the Senate itself. The
committee of six has been
hailed as a model inquiry"
and as employing a truly jul
dicial approach.
To summon the entire Sen
ate back for a special session
requires the agreement Of both
Senator Knowland, Repub-
lican leader, and Senator
Lyndon johnson, the minority
leader. There can be no spe-
cial session called on any
specific date If one or the
other disagrees. Naturally the
Democrats want the special
session held before the cleo
tion-or at least some DEM
ocrats who are not up for re-
election this year may want
it. But, entirely apart from the
troublesome nature OF the
issue on which to record a vote
during the political campaign.
there is the undeniable fact
that one-third of the Senate
Is up for reelection and must
spend time on the stump. To
require all Senators to return
to Washington and perhaps
sit here a week or more wait
ing for a vote during lengthy
debate is to give a campaign
advantage to the candidates
who are running against the
incumbents.
But the real Justification for
postponement-and it will be
a hard decision for Senator
Knowland to make-is that.
when a man is on trial, he is
deserving of fair trial, and
a fair trial has been widely
interpreted by the courts as
one devoid of influence exerted
in any way on the jurors by
the public through the news
papers, radio or television.
Certainly the evidence will not
disappear if the vote is post
poned. and the issues will be
just as clear after the con-
gressional election as before.
Any verdict, moreover. rem
dered after the election will
not be subject to the cry that
it was Influenced, either for
or against the Wisconsin Sen
ator. solely by considerations
of politics.

exact wording of the ConSti-
tuition is as follows:
Each house may determine
the rules of its proceedings,
punish it's members for disor-
derby behavior, and with the
concurrence of two-thirds ex-
pei a member"
Can free speech be construed
in any way as ''disorderly be-
havior"? Is a comment on the
behavior of a. witness to be
construed as "disorderly be-
havior"? What are the facts,
and what were the provoca-
tions, if any? 1t is necessary
to gather evidence to try such
a case involving precedents
that can have a far-reaching
effect on the future of Con-
>gress itself. The committee OF
six headed by Senator Wat
kins of Utah is engaged now
in assembling the evidence on
all sides. Senator Flanders
evidently believes the commit
tee isn't a Jury" because.
though not a witness, he keeps
on writing letters to the COM
mittee and makes them public.
Should the committee itself,
therefore, make any recon-
mendations or pronounce any
verdict, or should it merely
present the facts and the EVIL
dence and leave it to the SEN
ate to decide? Certainly 1t
is not an ordinary committee
report that has to be made.
For each member of the COM
mittee of six is in duty bound
to preserve judicial attitude
not only upon the evidence
but upon the argument that
will inevitably be made on the
floor of the Senate as the case
is debated.
If the six Senators take any
position for or against when
they file their report, they will
have prejudged the case and
rendered a verdict without al
lowing due weight to be given
to the summing up by those
Senators who favor or are
against the censure resolution.
The six Senators on the COM
mittee would serve the ethics
of a judicial proceeding much
better if they merely reported

as they found them and left
