Constantine Brown

Admiral Arthur w. Radford.
chairman Of the Joint Chiefs
Of STAFF. is on his way back
from q comprehensive tour Of
the remaining Far Eastern
outposts Of freedom to report
his first hand findings to Pres
ident Eisenhower and the Ma
tional Security Council.
It is assumed that at least
some Of his conclusions Will
serve as q basis for consid-
Grafton Of this country's polit-
ical and military strategy in
the most explosive portion Of
the world--the Far East.
Admiral Radford has been
rated by President Eisenhower
and his colleagues in the
armed forces not only as an
excellent professional man but
also as a cold and Unconditional
analyst of situations as they
actually exist and not as polit-
icaI leaders would wish them
to be.
IN the early days OF the
Eisenhower administration ADJ
miraI Radford's counsels and
appraisals carried q good deal
Of weight. More recently, and
particularly since his military
suggestions for saving Indo-
China from the Communists
which ran counter TO those Of
our allies, his star has faded
somewhat. But the reported
decline in his prestige in cer-
tain civilian quarters has not
changed in any way his matter
of fact evaluations even when
he realizes that they are un-
popular.
The consensus of military
and diplomatic realists is that
the situation In Wet Nam, Laos
and Cambodia is pretty hope
less. This is particularly true
in Indo-C China, where the in
habitants hate the French,
have no confidence in their
native ent and
thanks to a queer combina-
tion of French and Communist
propaganda look with suspi-
cion on our efforts to help them
remain free.
Our military men concede
that Indo- China could have
been of utmost importance to
our plans to halt the onward
march Of com mmunism In
Southeast Asia. But under
existing conditions. it IS more
than doubtful whether it can
be saved, regardless of how
much money the administra-
tion may be willing to pour In.

Two men who entered ma
tional politics as complete
amateurs at the same time two
years ago are showing how the
great game inevitably takes
hold of those who taste its
fruits Of power.
One. President Eisenhower.
is now disclosed to have been
lecturing his close associates
about the necessity Of building
up attractive young g. o. r.
presidential possibilities for the
future. He had his list ready,
all either friendly Governors
or men from the second level
Of his administration.
This assumption Of response
bility for the Republican future
has appeared before In the still
rather-generalized Eisenhower
conversations about his pro-
gressive- moderate philosophy.
The new list named people and
is a further and longer step
away from the Presidents orr
ginal notion that he could
serve as a kind Of head Of
State.
It included Governors Lang
lie Of Washington, Kohier of
Wisconsin and Craig Of Indi-
ana, Deputy Attorney General
william p. Rogers and Deputy
Secretary of Defense Anderson.
It is not quite the list the
professionals would draw up
and it was q failure Of tact on
the Presidents part not to

select for 1t some of the men
In House and Senate on whom
he must rely, for example,
Representative Halleck of Indi-
ana, whose pro- Eisenhower
leadership Of the G. O. p.
House majority was brilliant.
But the Eisenhower interest,
especially with its implication
that he has accepted the yoke
of party leader, will be well
coined everywhere but in the
extreme @. O. P. right wing.
The idea itself Is sound poll
tics. The President has per-
ceived or has been reminded
that few II any potential sue
cessofs loom among his
Cabinet members and admini-
strative heads who are getting
today's headlines. They are
business men, not elective Office
material. It was always pos
sible that one or more would
prove to have the touch, but
none has.
The great sarneness OF the
Eisenhower administrators and
the emphasis on teamwork and
getting along with Congress
have combined to keep down
the personal publicity that at
tracts political attention. They
may be rather generally re-
spected. but they are not
characters attracting warmth,
amusement. love, hate. interest
and curiosity.
OF them all. the country

rights puts the issue this way:
Eventually majority rule
win prevail In the United
States Senate. OF that we
are confident. Whether or not
this can be accomplished at
the beginning Of the 84th
Congress. it is vitally import
ant that the issue be clearly
drawn. Responsibility for
blocking civil rights legisla-
ton and for suhjectins other
legislation to the continually
operhanging threat Of . fili-
buster win thus be placed
clearly in the record and In
the minds Of the American
people. "
It IS well known that the
Communists abroad have made
much propaganda out Of the
failure Of our Congress to pass
legislation enforcing the 18th
Amendment to the Constitu-
ton which provides for equal
ity Of citizenship. VIII the
Democratic Party in the South
now be accused by its brethren
from the North Of being the
.unwftting handmaidens" of
the Communists? Or will it be
implied through inaction that
any Senator can obstruct the
legislative process and 60 ufl-
punished or tncensured so long
as he doesn't fight Commu-
lists in Government? That's
the dilemma which now can be
posed.
The Northern Democrats
tried in January. 1858, to get
the rules changed by a major
ity vote, only to be defeated by
a faction Of Northern Repub-
licans voting with the Southern
Democrats. After the adoption
Of the resolution against Sem
ator Mccarthy. however, the
81 Senators who voted to con-
denim construction Of legisla-
tive processes" can hardly have
q good excuse for voting
against the filibustering device
by which Senate rules are
palpabIy abused.

in effect calling on the Senate
to obey its new ethical precept
by permitting the rules Of the
Senate to be revised by ma
jority vote at the opening Of
its new session.
The leadership conference
didn't mention the resolution
whereby Senator Mccarthy
was condemned" for ''ob-
structing the constitutional
processes" of the Senate. but
it did say that, since under
the Constitution each House
is empowered to determine
the rules Of It's proceedings,
this must mean that the ma
