FiIibuster Foes
Dealt Setback

The move by liberal Demo-
Gratis to try to put through a
ban on Senate filibusters at the
opening session of the Senate on
January 3 was dealt a heavy
blow today by Senate Demo-
cratic Leader johnson of Texas.
The liberals are preparing to
renew the unsuccessful fight
they made four years ago to
establish the precedent that the
Senate is not continuing body
and must adopt new rules at the
start Of each Congress.
Old Rules Continue
But Senator johnson told re-
porters today he is committed to
the proposition that the Senate
is a continuing body. Under that
doctrine the Senate for more
than 165 years has gone on the
assumption that its old rules are
in existence at the start of each
Congress.
With the majority leader OPP
posing them, the only chance the
liberals would have to succeed
would be if the Republicans as
a group should decide to go along
with them on opening day. The
liberals may pick up more than
the five Republicans who sup
ported a similar attempt in 1858,
but there have been no indica-
ton the G. o. P. is ready to take
a party stand in favor of scrap
ping the theory that the Senate
is a continuing body.
Senator johnson defended the
right of any group of Senator's to
raise the rules issue and have
their arguments heard in the
Senate.
FavOrs No Change
But he answered with a terse
mo" when asked if he favors any
in the present rule, which
requires the votes of Ga Senators
to break a filibuster. Most OF
the liberals want this right to be
given to a majority Of the Sem
ate.
The rules fight is part of the
drive for civil rights legislation,

Asion Protest


There are implications in the decla-
ration by four Asian prime ministers on
recent events in Central Europe and the
Middle East that warrant particularly
thoughtful consideration in the Kremlin.
Meeting at New Delhi, the chief minis
tiers Of India, IndoneSia, Burma and Cey-
lon joined in an outSpoken communique
condennning TIN British French -,Israeli
adventure in Egypt and the Russian con-
duct in Hungary Their words with ref
erence to the Middle East were sharper,
branding the three nations as aggresSors
against Egypt and returning to the IA
miliar Asiatic-African theme of denounc-
ing the spirit and methods Of colonial
ism" which they have SO often associated
with West European policy. In substance,
however, their expressed reaction to the
Middle East situation was primarily a
summation of views which the ministers
already had indicated individually and
could have been forecast with reasonable
assurance.
BY contrast, their criticism of Rus
sian policies in Hungary represented a
far greater departure from the benev-
Asian countries have displayed so Of
ten toward Soviet Communist practices
abroad. Although not applying the term
aggression to the savage Russian military
action, the four powers were unequivocal
in stating that Soviet forces should be
withdrawn from Hungary speedily, and
that the Hungarian people should be left
free to decide their own future and the
form of government they will have with
out external Intervention from any quar-
ter" They welcomed, too, the new forces
toward characterization" which have APP
peared in both Hungary and Poland
an evident rebuke to MoScow'S repressive
rule of these satellites in the past.
It may be unlikely that criticism
from any source could force lasting
change of face in the Kremlin. Never
theleSs, it is reasonable assumption that
South Asian "neutraliSm" has been a
great comfort to the Communist leaders
in Moscow. Any prospect that these pop
ulous countries may become more APP
prehenSive about the true designs of
international communism could have an
impact for the better on Soviet policy of
the future. Related, too, is the clear evil
dence that the Communist Party in West
European countries also has been deeply
shaken by the events in Hungary and
that widespread revolt against MoScow'S
leadership already has taken place in
Britain, France and Italy
In short, forces have been set in
motion by the Kremlin itself which it
cannot control with its customary ease
and discipline.

A Year of Prosperity

The national prosperity claims that
were made and debated in the recent
political campaign are receiving strong
statistical support in these closing weeks
of 1856. Most impressive, perhaps, as a
broad measurement Of the Nations eco
nomic welfare is the consistent, two-year
rise in the gross national productive
total output of goods and services. In the
years third quarter this figure reached a
record-breaking annual rate of $4138
billion, an increase Of SIS billion from the
previous three months and SIT billion
higher than the rate for the comparable
quarter in 1855.
The fact that the steel industry, a
major contributor to this index, was
closed down by a five-week strike last
summer makes the current figure even
more notable. And the fact that steel
demand and production again are push
ing toward new highs is one Of the other
bullish reports in today's economic read
Ing. Total corporation profits also are
running toward a new record level, with
relatively few companies behind their
1885 pace. Dividend and wage levels alike
are higher than year ago, and increased
consumer spending was one Of the major
factors in pushing the national product
figure up in the last quarter. The virtual
certainty that automobile production and
sales win run above last years totals
likewise adds to the optimistic estimates
about the final quarter Of this year.
1t is elementary truth, Of course, that
the national economy will have its downs
as well as ups. One Of the early predic-
tons for 1857. from economist Arthur c.
Babson, is that there will be softening
In the second quarter next year Con-
tinued tight credit, some excess plant

Through Russian Eyes

If the face of this world seems grim
and troubled to us, it can hardly look
much better when seen through the eyes
OF the men who pull the strings in the
Kremlin.
Perhaps we have been too much in
clined to count our losses and discount
Russia'S. Certainly, our losses, or the
Vests losses, during these past few days
have been real and severe. 1t is equally
certain that more difficulties lie ahead
for US. But much the same thing, though
probably in lesser degree, applies to the
Soviet position.
YugoSlavia's Marshal Tito in speech
made earlier this week and Just released,
told OF split in the Kremlin and de-
nounced the Stalinist elements. He also
characterized the intervention by Rus
sian troops in Hungary as fatal error"
1t will not be possible to appraise the true
significance of this speech until the full
text can be studied But it may prove
to be very significant indeed.
In addition to this, the Russians must
reckon with the condemnation by four
Asian Prime Ministers of their ruthless
tactics in Hungary. And, perhaps most
remarkable Of ALL the tortured Hungar-
ianS, through the medium of general
strike, continue to resist the hated Rus
sian masters.
Even in the Middle East things look
bit better. Those Russian volunteers"
from all accounts, have not moved in, and
there seems to be growing reluctance in
Egypt to call for them. But the advance
guard of the United Nations police force
has arrived. To be sure, this is Just
token force-a handful of men, But It is
there, and the Russians apparently are
not.
This means that the West has new
opportunity to cut its losses. It will not
be possible to retrieve all of the ground
that has been lost, nor viii 1t be possible
to reverse the fact that Russia, in terms
OF influence at least, has finally been able
to penetrate that strategic area of the
world. But given wisdom, tenacity of
purpose and willingness to make the
necessary concessions, 1t should at least
be possible to restore the situation which
prevailed before the attack on Egypt And
this is the essential first step toward that
other and vastly more difficult under
taking-the working out of real and
durable settlement in the Middle East
which will preserve as much as possible
of the Vests position there
There should not be any CHEEKY opti-
mism about this, for, the eventual settle
ment, whatever its precise outlines, is
going to be bitter pill for the West to
swallow. But the ominouS prospect of
Soviet domination of the Middle East
appears to have receded bit, and If this
is the fact, it surely is gain for us and
q disappointment for the Kremlin.

Bus Segregation Banned

81 The Supreme Courts aff1rmance of a
decision banning segregation on buses in
Montgomery, Alabama, can hardly come
as surprise to anyone. For in principle
it is entirely consistent with the earlier
ruling banning segregated schools.
A fair inference from this latest &C
ton is that no local law which requires
segregation in any public facility will be
permitted to stand. The former separate
but-equal doctrine is dead, as far as
its application under State or municipal
sanction Is concerned.
Most of the initial reaction from the
South has been hostile to the bus ruling,
and the indications are that delaying
tactics will be employed to retard its
general application. But these tactics,
of course, will fail in the end, and the
chances are that they will not be sup
ported by public sentiment in the South
to the same extent that similar tactics
with respect to the schools have been
supported. One evidence of this may be
found in the fact that segregation on
buses was discontinued in nearby Vir-
ginia years ago without difficulty, al
though, in the same area, there is sub
stantial opposition to integrated schools.
The two situations are similar in the
legal sense. But they are not similar as
a practical matter, and we do not believe
that the South as whole will experience
any great difficulty in adjusting to the
bus ruling

Change in Poland

Marshal Rokossovsky's resignation"
as defense minister and chief Of the
armed forces is the most important per-
sonnet change made to date under the
new ''Titoist" Communist regime in
Poland. At any rate, as far as outward
appearances are concerned, the develop
ment has all the earmarks of being a
substantial concession to the country's
widespread anti-StaliniSt and anti-Soviet
sentiment.
To appreciate this, it need only be
kept in mind that ever since 1949, when
Stain sent him to Warsaw to serve as a
sort Of Soviet proconsul, Rokossovsky has
been generally regarded as the Kremlin's
chief agent in Poland, politically and
militarily. But now after having been
dropped from the Polish Politburo, he
has been eased out Of his key defense
posts, and presumably he will go back
to the USSR. Meanwhile, numerous
lesser Russian officers have also been re-
moved from Polands armed forces, and
several other potentially significant steps
have been taken to give some measure Of
independence to the country.
All this apparently has been done
with the Kremlin's reluctant consent,
and Wladyslaw Gomulka - the once
purged "Titoist" who has been restored
to power as Poland's Communist boss
is now in Moscow for the avowed purpose
OF winning still more freedom from
Russia. What remains to be seen is
whether his mission will accomplish any
thing Of substance. At the moment, con-
sidering the Soviet might massed along
their borders, and considering especially
the terrible fate Of Hungary, the Polish
people have reason to keep their fingers
crossed and restrain themselves from
demanding too much too soon.

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Nationality Groups Swing to G. o. P.

Ethnic or nationality groups
Of American voters, who in
recent years have supported
Democratic presidential candi-
dates. swung materially to
President Eisenhower in the
recent election. This shift
away from the Democratic
Party and to the Republican
is traceable to (a) faith in
President Eisenhower's leader
ship and foreign policy, (h) i'm
proved economic conditions
and Co the effective work of
the Nationalities Division Of
the Republican National Com
mittee, under the leadership
Of Chairman Leonard w. Hall.
Gov. McKeldin Of Maryland,
chairman of the division. and
A. B. Hermann, director Of the
division.
Take q look at the vote
count, in the recent election
as compared with the elections
Of 1948 and 1850, in wards and
precincts where these racial
groups predominant. Five
wards in Buffalo, N. Y, the
9Th, 7th, 9Th. 10th and 21st--
a center of citizens of Polish
blood, showed a big shift in
political voting. In 1913, when
Gov. Dewey of New York was
running against President
Truman, Truman the Demo-
crat received rs per cent Of
the total votes cast in the these
wards, and Dewey "a per cent.
In 1852. the tide had begun
to turn. Eisenhower had
SO per cent and Stevenson ga
per cent. This year, Eisen-
hower's percentage Of the vote
increased to Al and Steven
sons fell off to So per cent.
Another Polish center, ward
10 in Chicago, showed a
similar transition. In 1948,
Truman had 69.l per cent of
the vote and Dewey only 800
per cent. -Four years later
Eisenhower took a bigger slice,
35.9 per cent to Stevenson's
GAL. This year Eisenhower
had AZ per cent and Steven
son SO.
Hungarian Group Turns
The 10Th ward in Cleveland,
Ohio, known as Little Buda-
pest" dominated by voters
of Hungarian descent, gave
Dewey 1872 per cent of the
vote in 1913; Eisenhower Alb
per cent in 1852, and this year
Eisenhower received ass per
cent and Stevenson 54.4. Lith-
uanianS predominate-as a
group-in precint So, ward l3
in Chicago. The shift there
to the G. o. P. was even more
pronounced. In 1948 Dewey
had only 1872 per cent Of the
vote. Eisenhower in 1852 had
53.3 per cent, and this year
he had 66.4 per cent.
Citizens of Italian blood, of
whom there is a growing num-
Der in many States. are found
in large numbers in the 10th
precinct of Chicago's 18th
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-11-16

ward. The change in political
voting there In the last eight
years runs from 37.7 cast for
Dewey in 1913 to 44.4 for Ell
senhower in 1852 and 53.3 for
Eisenhower in 1856.
These are a few examples
of what has happened In many
cities Of the country. Great
emphasis was laid in the cann-
paign conducted by the Ma
tionalities Division Of the Re-
publican National Committee
on the Democratic record with
its so-called Commitment"
policy toward the Russian
Communists. and the contrast
ing policy of the Eisenhower
administration with It's policy
of peaceful liberation" for
the nations which have been
forced into q Russian colonial
empire. Thousands of docu-
ments, pamphlets and leaflets
were distributed to these
ethnic groups, many in the
languages of the countries
from which they or their par
ents had come to America.
Suggestions from some Of Adj
lai Stevenson's advisers that 1t
may be necessary to recognize
as permanent this domination
of these peoples by the Soviet
dictators were included. Also,
the record Of expanding Com
munist domination.
Eisenhower Record Cited
On the other side Of the pic
ture presented to these voters
of foreign blood was the record
under Eisenhower. including
the wind-up of the war in
Korea, with the Republic Of
South Korea preserved, Red
China checked in its aims to
seize FormoSa and eliminate
the Chinese Nationalist, the
prevention Of further gains by
the Communists in Vietnam.
President Eisenhower has
constantly urged that the spirit
of freedom be kept alive among
the people in the satellites Of
Soviet Russia, in the firm be-
lief that eventually this spirit
will prevail. He has never urged
upon any of these peoples
armed rebellion against over
whelming armed forces Of the
Russian Soviet. And this spirit
has made itself increasingly
manifest in East Germany,
Poland and other countries
now under the heel of Russia.
The most recent demonstration
has been in Hungary, where
the Russians by their brutal
treatment Of a people who have
sought to govern themselves
has Mortified and aroused the
resentment Of peoples every
where in the free world, and
in some Of the so-called neutral
nations.
During the recent presi-
dental campaign, appeals were
made to leaders of the ma
tionality groups for Eisenhower
support-and they were effec-
tive.

Unknown's Tomb

An unfortunate proposal to
alter the Tomb of the IN
known Soldier, in order to inter
World War II and Korean
War dead. seems to be gather
ing momentum.
I view this with some dis
taste and a measure of sad
ness, If indeed it should come
into being.
It seems to me that this
hallowed shrine is quietly SYM
bolic Of all fallen military men
American, and even the uni
Versal warrior.
Those dead Of World War II
and of the Korean conflict are
certainly no less heroic than
the nameless American fight
ing man whose eternal rest is
once again to be disturbed.
Yet it. does them no dishonor,
the same as none is meant to
battle-dead Americans of the
Revolution. of the War of 1912,
of the Civil War and the
Spanish-American War, not to
have each one immortalized in
separate and unique crypts.
All of this seems so unnec-
essary. In the broadcast sense.
the present tomb can signify
all Of our war dead. Despite
the fact it is a soldiers" Ii. e.,
an Army grave, it can be
envisioned as representing
other service dead, as well.
Surely, If we should carry this
to an opposite extreme, we
must agree that the sacred
and SOLDERING meaning would
be diminished, even lost, in its
division among tombs of each
services unknown dead for
each conflict.
Our soldier is quite sufh-
GENTLY the truest and most
meaningful translation Of all
our war dead into a proud and
impressive memorial. Its beau
tiful simplicity and its stern
young guard leave nothing to
be desired. Let the tradition
standI
