success or lack Of success.
History shows that when
the executive and legisla-
tive branches are politically
in conflict. politics In WASH
ington runs riot. In these
conditions, the public good goes
begging while politics is played
for politics sake"
Mr.. Eisenhower at his press
conference yesterday referred
back to these same points.
All but one were on the do
nestle side. They were in
cluded in a list of IS which
he said he had outlined in his
state of the Union" message
last January.
But of these 49," Mr.. Eli
senhower told his press con-
ference, ''only military re-
serves, housing legislation, mu-
tual security appropriations
and minimum wage were en-
acted into law, and some of
those. in my opinion, with
provisions that were not wise.
There are four Of the remain
ing nine that I think are alb
solutely vital to our future :"
The President didn't refer
again to the cold war in
partisan politics, but every
body knows that's exactly
what impeded his legislative
program this year. For the
Democrats played politics,
zealously blocking needed bills
and wasting time and money

was moderate in his phrases.
He said merely: ut would be
completely futile on my part
to say that in this field, in this
domestic field, that I believe
we have been as successful in
this past Congress as we
should have been"
The Denver prophecy came
true. America has had an ir-
responsible government. This
means that the American peo-
pie are unable today to Ak

hastily he had had quite
enough.
Omar. a civil servant trained
as a lawyer, is a Madison ave-
niue type whose efficiency, while
snowy, is very real and a boon
to reporters in an area where
efficiency is In short supply.
Thoroughly enjoying the situa-
ton. he explained that Shepi-
Low had been invited as q jour-
nalist not as a diplomat, and
would be treated exactly like
all the others.
He reminded shepilov that
Russia. like America, had been
among the first to recognize
Israel. Shepilov said that was
a matter of high policy. Omar
said then Russia, like impe-
rialist America, must plan her
policy according to her inter-
ests. Omar began to discourse
on what Lenin and Marx had
said Shepilov interjected that
there was a big difference be-
tween intellectual and prac-
tical communism.
A big. square-shouldered,
good-looking man. Shepilov
wore an extremely ill-fltting
suit. He said he got it ready
made in Moscow and asked
how much suits cost in Cairo.
The press Is quite willing to
get acquainted with Molotov's
possible successor but, not to
put too fine a point on it, he
has snubbed them brutally. He
would not ride here on Mas
ser's aforementioned train
where he would have sat with
the ink-stained wretches but
took the hot and dusty desert
road In a Russian Embassy
zis car.
Apparently, the social new
look in Russia is still con-

JTVoI ANIME BROWN -
Pledge to Chang Is Still Honored

when airpower can do so much
to fiatten man-made fortifica-
tons.
Thus despite the pressures
on the administration from
the principal European CAPT.
tails and from New Delhi,
neither Mr.. Eisenhower nor
Mr.. Dulles can see their way
clear to make any concessions
concerning the Nationalist-held
territories-except possibly by
persuasion. And 1t Is admitted
that under the present condi-
lions it viii be difficult to con-
vince Chang and his Taipei
government that for the sake
of world peace the Matsus
and Quemoy should be handed
over to the Reds as the
Tachens were.
It is true that in the final
analysis the Presidents &C
tons will be guided by the
sentiments of the American
people. Our allies and the men
in Moscow and Peiping are
now trying to gauge the real.
not the superficial. effect Of
the Reds smiles on American
public opinion.
The Soviets' propaganda
broadcasts to the United
States are still exuding sweet
ness and light. But they also
harp with almost monotonous
regularity that peace cannot
be established regionally - it
must be general.
And those broadcasts add
that unless the United States
satisfies Peiping's lust de-
m ands," the much-sought
peace in our time will be diff
cult to obtain.
