Now 3A Months Since President
Appeared Full Time at Helm
DORIS FLEEsoN

The 1igure Of President
Eisenhower as q political leader
has inevitably faded since his
heart attack in Denver two
months ago. His usual late
summer vacation there had al
ready lasted six weeks so 1t is
now three and a half months
since he appeared full time
and fully vigorous at the helm
OF the ship Of state.
The Presidents aides closed
ranks and moved to protect
their positions from the very
start Of his illness. Since his
recovery began to seem as
sured, their efforts have had q
twofold purpose.
One: They are trying with
every device available to the
presidency - and these are
many-to recreate a valid
political image Of Eisenhower
in the minds Of the American
people.
Two: BY using the same
broad powers to arrange and
command they are seeking to
persuade the President that he
can for another term serve the
country as q chief of state
whose burdens can be tailored
to At his strength rather than
require him to find strength to
bear them.
His staff's concept suggests
that II Eisenhower runs for
anything next year it will not
be for President in the sense

But he added that "if we don't
have regulation by Government
we will have control by General
Motors. This will lead to a battle
between public or private control
and whoever wins that battle,

Before today's hearing began
Senator O'Mahoney came out
against a suggestion by an in
dependent dealer yesterday that
a new Government commission
be set up to regulate the auto
mobile industry as the ICC regu-
lates the railroads.

This solution was proposed
by John w. Duke, general man
ager Of Nashville (Tenn.) auto
supply firm. He repeated the
charges Of other independ-
ents that General Motors"
plan Of parts distribution violates
q cease and desist order issued
by the Federal Trade Commits
sion In 1941.
Senator o'Mahoney said "the
only way we can release business
from bureaucratic control and at
the same time protect the public
is by establishing q national
charter system"
This is the second time since
current hearings into the growth
Of the General Motors Corp,

its Presidents.
To the Presidents consti-
tutional responsibilities, tradi-
ton and practice have added
the post of leader Of his party.
They have put him at the CEN
ter Of the great web Of govern
ment. expecting him always to
stand guard and strike the best
possible balance between the
social srd political pressures
of the time.
The question OF a presidency
reshaped to fit the special
Eisenhower situation would
assuredly be a major issue OF
the campaign. His official
family is still confident that
he can and should run and will
win. An important adninistra-
ton figure has told friends that
the state Of the world requires
the President to serve a second
term and that he can be SO
persuaded.
It should be promptly added
that there is nothing untoward
or unnatural about these de-
velopnents. It happened to
Franklin Roosevelt, who CO.
operated eagerly. It would
happen, under the same cir
clirnstances. to Adlai Steven

Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
of Wyoming, said today letters
are pouring down on Congress
from automobile dealers who
complained they are ION the
brink Of disaster because OF
pressure to sell more cars than
they can dispose of on a sound
financial basis.
Because Of this pressure, he
said, dealers are selling new cars
on long payment periods and
exaggerated turn-in allowances
on old cars.
AS the Senate Anti Trust and
Monopoly subcommittee took
testimony from more independ-
ent automotive parts dealers to-
day, Senator O'Mahoney said the
hearings show a steady trend to-
ward absolute control OF the
automobile industry in the Of
fees Of General Motors"
No Controls Wanted
He emphasized again that the
committee Is not looking for
specific violations of existing
antitrust laws. but trying only
to determine whether these laws
need changing. Drawing O
sharp distinction between reg
and control" the Sem
ator said no member of the COM
mittee wants control Of industry

the British Commonwealth of
States headed up by the British
Crown.
Only the United States seems
to have been remiss In insist
ing on more than Cne vote in
the United Nations. It was the
arrangement whereby the Brit
ish would have six votes In the
League Of Nations, while the
United States would have only
one, that helped build the sem
timent which prevented the
Senate from ratifying the
League of Nations covenant in
1929.
It was at Yalta in 1945 that
the late President Roosevelt
yielded to Stalin's insistence
that there be three votes for
the Soviet Union in the United
Nations the Ukrainian Re-
public, Byelorussia and the
Soviet government itself. The
argument was advanced that
Britain already had several
votes assured through her do
minions and that it would help
the people of the Ukraine and
Byelorussia to feel a certain
prestige Of independence if
they could be admitted. Mr..
Roosevelt didn't fight the issue
very hard and acquiesced.
Now the Moscow government
is out to get more votes In
the U. N. It actually controls
such satellite states as Ro-
mania. Hungary. Albania and
Bulgaria, but it isn't satisfied
with the admission of these

was a part OF China on the
Siberian borders. Texas was
an independent nation from
1886 to 1876 and. though adj

Europe,s Most Stable Nation Found

. But 1t must nevertheless be
recorded that Sweden also has
mice. Great purchasing power
and an iIlsufficiently dynamic
production have resulted In
creeping imitation and q con-
slant rise In living costs.
The less attractive indus
tries. which nevertheless play
q necessary role in the whole
economy, have q perpetual
labor shortage.
It is increasingly difhcailt TO
enlist higher talents because
there are too few economic
incentives for their develop
nlent.
The drift To the cities Is
eliminating the family farm
which has human and moral
values outside the economic.
Only the big farms are pro-
ductive enough to feed the
growing cities, and these must
be subsidized. This. and inn
port duties put Sweden's
food prices 20 to IS per cent
above the world market. The
urban drift creates q perpetu-
al housing shortage to defect
more productive investment.
Apartments are modern and
labor-saving but small. There
is little place for children
and there are too few children.
Sweden's rate Of population
growth is half that Of Dem
mark and q third that Of
poorer and harder working
Finland.
Although there are vocal
minorities among social work
ers, the tendency Is to "insti-
tutionalize" children in infant
nurseries and let the schools
increasingly bear the burden
Of their upbringing. Personal
responsibility also is being
socialized.
There are other degenerative
symptoms that so far in his
tory have always accompanied

Juvenile delinquency Is

is increasing. So Is adult de-
linquency. Relations between
the sexes are extremely free
and easy. and there is a re-
markable amount of homo
sexuality. which few official
Swedes like 10 talk about. Al
though most Swedes are for
nally members Of the Luther
an Church, they are not at
all religious. as nation. They
attend the festival services,

do not govern the behavior OF
their lives.
The divorce rate Is very
high--one In seven marriages

security about marriage leads
women to make them
selves economically indepen-
dent when their husbands are
quite able to support the FAM
lily. There is an indisposition to
be burdened with children, or
the home Is neglected. Domes-
tic help is almost impossible to
obtain or too expensive to sup
port.
Economically Sweden is
greatly favored. 1t is q large

rives two-fifths Of its foreign
income from the green gold OF

Swedes ought to be the hap

Case as Good as One for Outer Mongolia
Could be Made for Lone Star State
DAVID LAWRENCE

There's one way to break the
deadlock that has arisen over
the admission Of 1S new MEM
bers Of the United Nations.
and that's to accept as the
18th new member the great
State Of Texas. A case as
good as. ii not better than.
that being made by Russia for
the admission Of Outer Mon
golia can be made for the Lone
Star State.
The Soviet government has
been urging the admission of
Outer Mongolia, which used to
be q part of China but became
a puppet state of the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics in
l945. The United States AM
bassador to the u. N, Henry
Cabot Lodge, has stated that
this country would abstain
from voting that is. would
not object--to the admission
of Romania, Bulgaria. Hum
gary and Albania but doubted
If Outer Mongolia could get
enough votes in the Security
Council. This means that the
United States doesn't want TO
see any more than four satel-
lites admitted.
On every side there's pres
sure, however, for a "compro-
mise" Already the United
States is being blamed by
Communist agitators in nom
Communist countries like Italy
for blocking admission of 13
states because Russia can pre-
vent their entry If America re-
fuses to let Outer Mongolia
come In, as Russia demands.
The Is states on the nom
Communist side which would
be admitted under the So
called package deal" are Ja-
pan Italy. Spain. Portugal.
Austria, Cambodia, Ceylon.
Finland, Ireland. Jordan. Laos,
Libya and Nepal.
The argument for the adj
mission Of Texas rests ON just
as firm ground as the original
admission to the U. N. in 1945
of Byelorussia and the UkraiI1-
ian Republic. Both the latter
states are integrated in the
Soviet Union and have no
more right to call themselves
