Republican leaders in Con-

their hands as full Of a chore
upon which President Eisen-
hover now is putting renewed
emphasis-his legislative pro-
gram-as Senate party leaders
have had, and presumably still
have, with the Senator Joe
Mccarthy dilemma.
Vice President Nixon, on be-
half of the President, called
for the shift of emphasis in
his reply to Adlai Stevenson's
Miami speech. He could only
mention the program in bulk.
He could not discuss details.
For not a single one Of the
major measures included in
the program yet has got
through Congress. Most still
are in committee. Some have
not even got that far-nearly
two and q half months since
Congress met.
The Vice President obviously
was on the defensive. In that
attitude he reflected the whole
administration. The change in
mood and tempo here since
Congress met early in January
is very noticeable. Then there
was q spirit of buoyancy and
expectancy about the White
House. That was heightened
as the President sent to Con-
gress one message after an
other spelling out his program.
Social welfare measures were

provide even the most temporary
protection for French honor and
permit the safe withdrawal of the
French Army.
This fact is important. not only
to France but to the whole West
ern coalition. 1t means that the
possibility of prolonging the
Indo-C Chinese war much beyond
Geneva simply doesn't exist. 1t
means also that If the road to ne
gotiation Its found to be blocked
at Geneva. it will have to be
sought elsewhere. and the gov
eminent that fails to find it will
not survive long. After all that
was said, 1t would be pure delu-
sion to think that failure at &C.
neva would provide any guaran-
tee of continuing French resist
ance in Asia.
The second major criticism
faced by the government was
that a cease-f fire agreement was
not sought Immediately without
waiting for the start of the five
power conference. It is revealing
of the sentiment here that In
dian Prime Minister Nehru's
suggestion for q pre-Geneva
armistice should have been
seized upon as an excuse to
lombard the administration with
a long series of loaded questions.
In the face of this attack, Mr..
Laniel won a victory that de-
pended partly on evasion and
partly on positive argument.
The evasion consisted OF
agreeing that I'VE have no right,
just because the war has lasted
seven years. to pass UP any
chances totend it day earlier"
Then Mr.. Laniel laid down a
series of stiff terms for a cease
fire, followed by an invitation to
the COMMUNISTS to come up with
concrete proposals or a truce.

terms and, lin turn. have asked
