It Is no reflection on his

The Army's limitation of the

outstanding officer.
Traditionally the Corps OF
Engineers sends outstanding
officers to share in the trium-

the Commissioners have with

less elaborate in function and
more responsive to the people"
It was in this sort of language
that some saw the doom of the
Maryland City plan.
The city concept has dragged
on for ~ years now. If there
is any basic merit to it. pres
sure for it will increase as the
county communities increase in
size and complexities of gov.
eminent. If it indeed dies, the
cause is more apt to be general
public apathy than any specific

Housing Code Need
To participate in Federal
funds for redevelopment, slum
clearance and public housing. a
community must meet certain
conditions. perhaps the most
important Of which is develop
ment Of a housing code.
This. If for no other reason,
is justification for the efforts
Of the District currently to
develop such a code.
There are, of course, other
compelling circumstances such
as the fixing Of minimum
standards of health and safety.
The real problem is to evolve
a blend of the detectives of
those who want to control
somebody else's property, with
the objections OF owners who
favor minimum regulation.

proach. He and the President
disagreed seriously on foreign
policy on censure of Joe Nc
Carthy. but the Senator showed
no intention of quitting.
Mr.. Knowland's strong
stands raised the question of
whether he was becoming a
spokesman of the G. 0. P.
right, i.e., nti-Eisenhower,
wing.
Mr.. Eisenhower last week
dealt in personalities" for the
first time in a press conference
and talked about Mr.. Know
land. There was a difference
in their approach to the cold
war he said, but in method,
not principle. At the same
press conference, however, he
said a blockade-such as Mr..
Knowland advocates - would
mean war with Red CHINA
statement that made their dis
agreement over methods rather
basic.
The President also had a few
words for the conservative half
of his party:

nisn. crime and corruption"
It was true. of course, that
the Senate's action did not
deprive Senator Mccarthy of
any rights as a Senator and
committee chairman. Whether
his attitude toward the Senate
had been changed, only time
would tell.
Politically the Senator could
be said to have gained and
lost. He gained more intense
support of his hard-core back
ers, and he moved toward
greater influence in the right
wing Republican faction in
the Senate. But he must have
lost some mild supporters in
Wisconsin and certainly lost
ground among Eisenhower Re-
publicans.
The SO elections and his
own election in 1858 are a
long way off, however, so
there was no one to say how
condemnation will effect
Senator Mccarthy at the
polls.

2. Mundt Amendment. To

3. Bridges Amendment. To
strike out Count / and to re-
solve that Mccarthy violated

doctrine, a program, legislative
and otherwise, that 1oas mod
crate in its approach, Avoiding
extremes OF right and left.
The differences which cropped
out last week forebode a rough
two years for the Republicans.
Mr.. Knowland will become
minority leader in January,
but still will be the admins
tration's man on the Hill. The
relationship should be har-
monious on domestic legisla-
ton. but in conflict on foreign
policy. ..
And the ~right-left split
which was deepened by the
Mccarthy condemnation vote
could well echo in G.. o. P.
disharmony on other issues.
What could the disagree
ment mean for Senator Know
land and the G. O. P. right
wing df they are destined to
work together? If history
shows them to be right on Far
East policy it could mean a
strong position in the 1856
presidential convention.

Named New Chairman

Democratic troubles made
news last week when the party
set out to fill a $20,000-a-
year-plus-expenses job. Quail
fications for candidates: Skill
as a political tactician, popu-
larity in North and South,
ability to raise money and a
knack for saying everything in
a ringing, confident voice.
Title for the winning candi-
date: Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
The man selected was Paul
Butler Of Indiana.
Committeeman met in New
Orleans to pick the chairman
and draw up a set of rules for
the 1856 national convention.
The air was full of harmony
on the rules action. The
loyalty oath" provision which
had caused bitterness be-
tween North and South two
years ago was dropped without
a protest.
Naming a chairman was
ON W h at more difficult.
Front-running candidates were
Mr.. Butler, former Price Sta
bilizer Michael v. Disable of
Ohio, and James Finnegan of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Finnegan
had been considered a likely
compromise In the event a
deadlock occurred between the
other two.

Party? Split, possibly, for the
duration of the 84th Congress.
1t was not the Mccarthy
issue alone which had divided
the Republicans. But it sharp
ened the division and set it
down irrevocably in a roll-call
vote.
The story of the Republican
split might better be told,
however, in the story of Senate
Majority Leader Knowland,
who had a busy time last
