no way will compromise the
validity of the French-Soviet

The other grave error in the

lows:
"a member may be censured
even after he has resigned.
Precedents in both the Senate
and House for expulsion or
censure for conduct occurring
during a preceding Congress
may be found in Kinds
Precedents.'
But a careful examination Of
the same source - Kinds

is not a single case of such
conduct occurring In a prior
term which had become known
to Congress in such prior term.

ZWicker case-occurred during
the same term in which the ac-
tion for censure was brought.
Kinds Precedents" also re-
vealS that such censure as oc-
Cured after q member re-
signed was in connection with
proceedings initiated at the
same term and before the
resignation occurred, or else
on court convictions which be-
came final during a subsequent
term.
There is no parallel to the
Mccarthy case cited in Kinds
Precedents," but the Watkins
report gives the erroneous i'm
preston that there have been
such precedents on which CEN
sure has been voted. Actually,
the committee for some strange
reason omitted mention Of
those precedents in which both
the Senate and the House
deliberately refused to vote
censure for conduct disclosed
during the previous term of a
member. The Watkins Com
mittee apparently accepted the
draft written by counsel un-
familiar with the legal prece-
dents involved. Yet the Sen
ate is expected to act imparti-
ally on the basis of such a de-
fective document. It was q

It is reliably reported now
from Paris that Premier Men
des-France plans to visit Mos
COW soon after his forthcoming
trip to the United States. The
energetic and able French
leader is said to feel confident
that such a visit to the Krem-
lin would do much to prepare
the ground for a meeting of
the Big Four next year in an
about effort to settle out
standing questions and bring
about a lasting end to world
tension.
Mr.. Mendes-France is COM
ing to Washington about No
vember II, and is sure to re-
ceive high accolade as the
moving spirit behind the Lon
don agreements. The London
accord promised restoration
of nearly full sovereignty
to the West German Republic
and paved the way for the in
clusion of German forces In
the NATO defense system.
The dramatic success of the
London talks and the subse-
quent negotiations, In the face
Of what had seemed to be in
surmountable difficulties, has
been ascribed largely to the
finesse and spirit Of reasonable
compromise manifested by the
French Premier. Understand
ably then, his arrival in the
United States will be hailed by
our top officials and no praise
will be too high. Our policy
makers look upon him as the
chief architect Of the momen-
tous agreements that rescAed
the old European Defense
Community idea from complete
abandonment, saving the
shaky unity of the West from
disaster.

in Paris expect Mr.. Mendes-
France to return there from

strengthened prestige and new
American commitments to

He will tell the Red leaders
that the absence of any open
approval of a Big Four meet
ing by the United States does
not mean American hostility
TO the idea or American re.
pudiation Of such a parley.
The ultimate aim of a Big
Four meeting, of course, Is
the signing of a broad nom
aggression pact among the
great powers. Both Mr.. Mem
des-France and MIR. Churchill
appear to place the greatest
trust in such an, agreement
as the best if not the only way
to end world tension and the
cold war.
Mr.. Mendes-France has al-
ready secured the approval Of
Gen. De Gaulle for his Mos.
cow endeavorS. and is certain
to have almost solid support
from all the French political
parties. including the Com
munists.
When he goes to Russia he
will have the best wishes Of
the free world. But he will
also be reminded, perhaps,
that caution must be his con.
slant companion. Dealing with
the masters of the Red world
calls for all the tact, ability
and skill that Mendes-France
has, and he has a great deal.
Too many Of the peoples of
the world viii recall another
famous non-aggression pact.
In 1885 the Muscovites put
their hammer-snd-Sickl seal
on a non-aggression pact with
the Republic of Poland. The
treaty provided for peace and
friendship for 20 years, and
guaranteed that neither sig
natory nation would attack the
other during that period.
But history, factual, cold
and beyond challenge, has re-
corded the fate of Poland.
In September. 1889, almost
simultaneously with the Mad
invasion, troops of the Red
empire occupied Poland. They
are still there.

This foretells the difficult
task faced by both sides in the

Judgment by the public on the
jobs done by each in the next
two years can have much
bearing on who wins the. 1856

historical precedents that give
them the edge. Usually 1t hap

faced by the Republicans when
they took over the 80th Con-
greSs midway of the first Tru-
man administration.
Calling the signals for the
Democrats in Congress in this
test will be Representative Sam
Rayburn Of Texas, who once
again will be Speaker of the
House, while his protege, SEN
ator Lyndon johnson Of Texas,
will be majority leader of the
Senate, and thus boss on the
other side Of the Capitol. If
anybody can keep Democrats
on an even keel it is Sam Ray
burn.
Because Of what is at stake
in 1856, the cries of "obstruc-
tion" are bound to rise often
and easily from both parties
In the months ahead.
In the end the public will
be the judge Of what is "ob-
struction" and what injury it
did to their interests.
One fact must be considered
in evaluating what happens in
the 84th Congress. Democratic
leaders made certain issues in
the campaign that closed with
the recent election, some here,
some there, some all over. It
is their conviction that ia
vorable public reaction to these
issues contributed to their VIC
tory in the House and Senate.
Therefore they feel obligated
to act in line with what the
voters seemed to-be saying with
their votes.
Neither Sam Rayburn nor
other Democratic leaders are
likely to be deferred from
translation of the election into
legislation by cries that they
are "obstructing" the Presi-
dent. Such cries will surely
be raised. for the action will
sometimes be contrary to what
has been called "the Eisen-
hover program" In their cam
paign, Democrats made an is
sue OF the administration tax
program, which they claimed
was weighted for the rich and
well-to-do; Of unemployment,
about which they contended
the administration had been
too lax; of the administra-
tion's public power, REA and
conservation policies; of its
sfarm program; of its labor
policies.
They would be expected to
act to try to rectify and re-
wise such policies and programs
on the theory that election ma
Jorities demand that. In short.
