The amendment sponsored by

day by the House Rules Commit

up by the House when it COM

This amendment would permit
foreign aid to a country only

"ststus-of-forces" treaty agree
ment whereby United States SOL
diers could be tried in criminal
courts of those countries for law
violations committed there.

The Foreign Operations Ad-

50 billion to aid friendly coun-
tries during the past % months.
Beginning tomorrow, a new
agency, the International Co.

such foreign aid agency since
the postwar Marshall plan. It's
other predecessors were the

John B. Hollister, Cincinnati
lawyer, is set to step in as foreign

Before quitting, Mr.. Stassen is

to call attention to things he
still wants this Congress to do.

that he would thank everybody

tended in the campaign that,

would be hard to fix RESPONSE

When he came to his military
reserve program, he graphically
observed. why are we fooline
around about it?"
Bridges Cites G. o. p. Aim
Senator Bridges said today the
Democrats "are not really fol
the Presidents program, despite
the noise they have made about
supporting it."
They are only for such parts
of that program as they believe
can be amended or changed to
meet the desires Of Democrats oi
all shades of opinion. All of this
demonstrated that If President
Eisenhower is to get his program
enacted in the way he has pro-
posed it. he must have a Republ-
can Congress and that is what
we expect to give him in 1885,
Subjects Listed
Here is the situation as OF
today on the 13 subjects listed
by the President:
FOREIGN AID-The authori-
zation bill has passed the SEN
ate and is due to pass the House
today. The appropriation bill
will follow and pass without diff
fculty.
HOUSING-The House Rules
Committee is meeting today to
consider floor action on the Sen
|ate-approved bill. The Senate
boosted the Presidents request
for $4,000 public housing units
annually for two years to 1885,
900 units a year for four years.
But the House Banking Commit
tee has gone back to the Eisen-
hover figure.
MILITARY. RESERVES-Has
not passed either branch, but
lis ready for House debate late
today or tomorrow. The Senate
lis waiting to see what the House
does.
MINIMUM WAGE-The House
Labor Committee will end public
hearings today, and meet next
Thursday to act on a Senate
approved bill raising the mini
mum from rs cents to 81 an
hour. The President recon-
mended 80 cents.
SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
A House subcommittee is still
working on this bill, not its final
passage this year is endangered
by the likelihood Of an anti
segregation amendment. South
erners probably would not let
the bill pass the Senate If such
an amendment is added. The
segregation issue may be raised
on the housing bill, also. But
that bill has already passed the
Senate without such an amend
ment, and it is not likely that
Congress will fail to extend the
various government housing laws.

Talk That It's Eisenhowers Duty to Run
Seen Only Republican Answer So Far

with the Presidents heart at
tack, suggest that there are
certain practical considerations
in the picture, too.
II the President Is renorni-
mated, two men on his ticket
will be running for President
himself and the candidate for
Vice President. Democrats win
run against the second man.
and since It appears that It
would again be vice President
Nixon. they win put their
hearts into II.
It already Is conceded BY
Republicans that If they re-
nominate the President. the
bulk Of the campaigning would
have to be carried on by the
Vice President Thus his really
vital Importance would be con-
stantly before the public eye,
it could not be niinimized.
The President in 1861 had
the aid Of certain very inn
portant issues which were
tailor-made for him as q per-
son and q military leader. The
voters believed he could prop
erly end the unpopular Korean
war. Since he was unidentified
with politics, he suited the
time for 4 change mood Of
which the corruption and COM
inunism issues were . part.
These issues are worn out.
Evening star., 1955-11-14
Run Eisenhower on Both Tickets?

both the Republican and DEM
ocratie tickets for q second
term would violate no con-
stitutional provision and would
only deyiate from q political
habit. The latter would not in
itself be q strong enough
reason to overcome the public
demand that the man who Is
the leader of world opinion Of
q critical time In world history
should be permitted to serve as
long as he Is able.
The idea Of naming Ike on
both tickets Is q simple solu-
tion, for it doesn't involve
constitutional complications
Of any kind and meets q
unique problem In the annals
Of history.
Since the Vice Presidency.
moreover. would be held BY the
man whose political party had
won the national election, he
would have been tested on the
fundamental issues that sep
arate the parties and he would
be chosen with the full knowl-
edge Of the voters that some
time during the second term
the President might resign in
his favor.
The plan would present Q
challenge to both parties.
There are. for instance, many
Democratic leaders who are
convinced that Mr.. Stevenson
could outrun Nixon. It Is q
chance for the Democrats TO
obtain all the advantages the
Republicans would have in
placing the popular Mr.. Eisea-
hover at the top Of the ticket
without IT, disadvantage to
the Democrats Of trying to run
q presidential nominee against
Mr. Eisenhower.
Also, II the Republicans are
so sure that ''peace and pros
perity' Is q winning slogan for
them, they should welcome the
chance to fight the campaign
on the vice presidential level.
For II Ike should pledge him
self to retire when the inter-
national emergency were over.
the number two man would
become President.
The plan OF q joint nomira-
ton for the Presidency offers.
therefore, an equal opportunity
to both parties-an besides.
1t would conserve the health
OF Mr.. Eisenhower by sparing
him the strain OF an active
campaign.

per on the optimistic reports
published IN the United States
after the cordial" converse

indicating that the two men
had agreed that the satellite

The Yugoslav press and ra-

Thus when they refer to inn

pointed out that certain West

exploit the talks between Mr..
Dulles and Marshal Tito as
attacks against Eastern Eu-
