In time Belair was to breed
the most expensive race horse In
world history-Nashua, sold fol-

produced Gallant Fox and

happened directly on the President. It simply did not work.
Secretary Dulles, for example, bears the blame for foreign
policy; Secretary Of Agriculture Benson is blamed for the
farm problem, ETC., ETC., but in none Of these cases is the
President directly involved, OF is he directly associated with
them in the minds of the public.
IA Many voters believed that with such a serious world
crisis right upon US, it would be better to keep the admins
|bation in power, especially with a man whose devotion to
peace is 50 well established. And if there is to be no peace,
then have a general who knows about war.
% There is also the theory that all things considered
this might have been a negative victory. The loss of conf
|dence and respect of our principal allies might have been
due to bungIng and ineptitude. This being the case, then
keep these men in power to face the responsibilities and the
resulting from their own conduct Of affairs.
This theory is bolstered by the fact that the same voters who
voted 50 overwhelmingly for the President, also voted for
"a Democratic House and Senate.
WHICH OF these, or which combination is right may
be anybodys guess. The election is over, and the leaders Of
both parties will have to draw from the votes the temper
of the nation. Certainly, the heavy vote for the President and
the failure Of the Republican Party to gain either house of
Congress must cause these leaders to take a second, more
agonizing r~eappraisal of the situation. Certainly they cannot
claim that the 7 Like Ike" slogan was enough to rub off on
his party.
ON THE THE hand, the Democrats must face the
fact that they are out Of power for another term $50 far as the
when they will have not only to select a candidate, but must
sell him to the American public.

Editorial
WHATS BEHIND TT ALL?

THE RESULTS Of both the local and national elections
will be discussed for quite some time. Observers, common
tators, columnists, and writers will be trying to assess the
results and come up with some answers, inaccurate though
they may be.
ONE OF THE most peculiar twists Of politics came IN
the national election. A President winning by an overwhelm-
ing majority, failed to carry either the House or the Senate.
What makes this SO unusual is that a great victory usually
sweeps in given direction taking everything with it. When
Franklin Roosevelt won in 1882, 1886, and 1910 he swept
with him into office both houses. Yet, President Eisenhower,
winning by the largest popular margin except Roosevelt,
failed to carry either house. Whyp
MANY THEORIES are advanced for this strange phe-
nomenon. Of course, being theories, removes from them any
scientific accuracy. Some of these theories are:
ql The President, while being tremendously popular as
an individual, was nevertheless not strong enough to have his
lily advocated certain candidates. For example, the Presi-
dent and the entire Republican Party went all out to defeat
Senator Morse in Oregon. Secretary Of the Interior Nc Kay
was assigned to do the Job. But neither influence, nor un-
limited funds could turn the trick. And the same thing may
be said for Governor Langle Of Washington, and others.
~ While President Eisenhower won overwhelmingly
the party be represents still remains the minority party, the
great majority Of the voters preferring to. endorse the De-
mocrahc Party.
81 The President, highly respected and dmied as an
individual, is somehow completely removed from the Re-
publican Party and the Republican administration, 50 much
50 that he is not in any way associated with any failures Of
his administration. This was brought out nethe campaign.
The Democrats attempted to place responsibility for what

Police al Odds
|On Speed Traps

CHICAGO, Sept. IL (R.-Po-
lice speed traps were the subject
of lively debate by several ON
cials at the 10th biennial confer
ence Of the International Asso-
citation of Chiefs OF Police yes
terday.
The discussion came after Paul
r. Martz. chief of the Minnesota
highway patrol, said in speech
he was in favor Of the "hiding''
technique. having a police squad
car hide behind a billboard to
trap unsuspecting speeding mo-
florists.
"A sufficient number of UNI
marked cars should be used to
obtain compliance with safe
driving rules of those who appar-
emily otherwise refuse to COM
ply" Mr.. Martz said.
Police Commissioner Timothy
O'Connor Of Chicago disagreed.
There is no room in the Chi
cago Police Department for po-
llicemen who hide to arrest mo-
florists and if ! find one doing this
I'll fire him." Mr.. O'Connor said
Squads must patrol the streets
where they can be seen and the
cars must be marked so the pub
lie can tell at a glance they are
police"
Mr.. Martz replied that "if
unmarked cars are wrong, SO are
plainclothes detectives and if al
Icoholic tests are unconstitu-
tional, SO is finger printing"
Chief William A. Winfield Of
Rochester, N. Y, said radar en-
forcement was doing the lob
adequately and that he has In
structed his 470 policemen to
stay lin plain view of the public. /"
But Chief James C. Mcdonald
lof Memphis. Tenn, agreed with
MT. MarLZ.
Uniformed policemen don't
catch pickpockets and police
vehicles parked in full view
aren't going to stop the killers
of the road" Mr.. Mcdonald said.

points and win national safety
awards by doing So"
