primaries. With the Senate
almost a tie and the control
likely to be decided by the re-
suit in one State, and with the
margin i'm the House so mar
row that any one Republican
seat could mean the difference
between retaining or losing
control, it is questionable
whether Gen. Eisenhower ever
thought the matter through to
its logical result or whether
any of his staff did. either.
For such facts do get out in
the campaign. The Demo-
cratic nominee in each in
stance will say to the voters
that the Republican isn't able
to get the Endorsement Of the
President and, while such a
Democrat may promise to
support some of the Eisen-
hover policies, he cannot, IL
elected, very well refuse to vote
for the slate of committee
chairmen which the Demo-
Gratis will put up and for the
Democratic Party leaders to
be selected to carry on the
business in both houses.
It may be that Gen. Eisen-
hover. who is believed by
some members of Congress to
be well-intentioned but mex
perienced. really doesn't care
whether the Republican Party
controls Congress next time,
but this doesn't square with
the statements he has made
to his press conferences, in
which he has expressed hope
the Republicans would win
the autumn elections.
So there's a lot of talk about
whether Gen. Eisenhower real
ly knows the score in rela-
ton to the coming congress
sional campaign. Some mem
berS already are asking
whether he knows he would
be stabbing his own party
members in the back by a re-
fusal to indorse Republicans
duly nominated in the party
primaries.

to the Democratic Party?
Would Gen. Eisenhower pre-
fer to come as suppliant to
the majority leader of the
House and the majority leader
of the Senate, when both are
Democrats, and ask them to
enact his program? Would
he get sympathetic treatment
when the Democratic Party,
looking forward to control of
the White House in the presi-
Dental election two years
later, would do everything it
could to obstruct the program
of the Republican administra-
ton? Would Gen., Eisenhower
prefer to see the chairman

held by Republicans in both
houses pass into the hands Of
Democrats?
The President may be gam
bling that the few he is re-
fusing to support will be Offset
by such big gains by Repub-
lican nominees at the polls that
the loss of those who haven't
gone along with him will not
matter. But the principle is
just the same. Either Gen.
Eisenhower, as a Republican.
recognizes each choice by the
Republican Party in its pri-
maries or else he is willing to
accept the loss Of control by
his party of both houses of
Congress in order to punish
those Republicans who didn't
go along with him on certain

They ran true to form dur
ing the 48 hours spent BY the
leaders in attempting to form
committee which would
create public confidence. The
leaders themselves are not
without blame.
The Senate itself is on trial
in this proceeding, with quips
already beginning to flow
about its likeness to the
French Parliament. But
neither the leader of the party
in power nor the leader who
expects his party to regain
power next fall would order
any Senator to serve in the
name of party responsibility.
In the end, leaders and
senior Senators calmly pushed
off on their juniors-plus one
veteran, Ed johnson, who is
voluntarily retiring this fall
the unpleasant but vital
task. The very least that can
be said of the prestige Sena-
tors, to whom the new COM
mittee members are being
odiously compared, is that they
are now morally bound to
stand by that committee.
It is reliably understood
that both Senators Knowland
