Terms of any truce in Indo-
China will be decided by
Chou En-lai and Molotov at
Geneva. And judging from
their performances at recent
secret sessions. they are in a
mood for anything but their
maximum demands. They
hold two important trump
cards which they are expected
to use to their full value: Cd
The obvious military superb
ority Of the Wet Mimi forces
In Indo-C China. and (2) the
unconcealed anxiety Of the
French to escape from the
Indo- China wringer.
According to informed
sources in Washington, Secre-
tary Dulles has given his
assent to a proposed truce line
somewhere between the 18th
and 18th Parallel. This parti-
ton line will leave the capital
city ,of northern Wet Nam,
Hanoi. in Communist hands,
an arrangement satisfactory
to the Reds. It is also expected
that the port city of Haiphong
will be left to the French, UNI

their fellow men. It may be
true that they cannot be prose-
cuted because no laws were in
existence when they commit
ted their improper acts, but
Congress has a right to adj
minister the punishment of
the fullest publicity unless
they repent and assist the
Government in running down
others guilty of the same
wrong practices. To say that
the fifth amendment was
put into the Constitution to
protect a citizen against self
determination is correct, but
it is not correct to say that
this constitutional provision
permits a man to conceal in
formation about the criminal
acts Of his friends or acquaint-
ances. Yet that's the main
reason why the fifth amend
ment plea Is heard so often.
There are, Of course, desir-
able changes which can be
made and some committees of
the House years ago adopted
enlightened procedures. Some
improvement in the situation
can be made by making the
rules uniform, but there is no
remedy against the abuse by
Senator or Representative of
his congressional immunity.
Far more damage is done to
the public welfare by Senators
or Representatives who in
small groups block conSidera-
ton of needed legislation or
who fllibuSter at the close of a
session than by any infringe
ment OF committee rules by
overzealous chairmen. Maybe
the facts of congressional life
will some day leak out to the
people and they will discover
that, with all it's faults, the
Nation possesses an effective
system of checks and balances
especially in protecting the
rights of the minority in the
legislative branch of the Gov
eminent and in checking up
on the integrity of the opera
tons of the executive agen-
cies. Graft and corruption in
the executive agencies can
easily be concealed if commit
tees of Congress are not given
full information by employees
interested primarily in the
public welfare. AS for compile
ance with the rules of self
restraint and fairness by indi-
vidual Senators or Represent
atives, the millennium hasn't
arrived, so changes in the writ
ten rules are not as important
as they are cracked up to be.

OF IA Democratic Governors
here, 10 had fought for Adlai

group learned that Gov. Byrnes
was conniving to put over Gov.
Kennon, a flrst-termer, they
first tried to induce the vet

Ohio to seek the chairman

Gov. Lausche refused. He is
running for a fifth term and
is under heavy fire from the
trucking interests he has taxed

He had been chairman before.
Besides, it is rare, though not
unheard of, for a Governor up
for reelection to be named
chairman.

regulars then put forward the

Lawrence w. Wetherby. It
was pointed out to Republicans
that Gov. Kennon was contro-
