DORIS FLEESON

The dialogue between Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Adlai
Stevenson over Federal aid to
schools affords an excellent
illustration Of how different
their approach is and must be
to the same question.
In this era of surface peace
and widespread prosperity with
a Democratic Congress as the
fall guy. the President is ideally
situated to use the broad gen.
eral terms which suit his pur-
pose. Stevenson must demand
Of the voter, certainly in the
education matter. that he look
hard into the package and
think about what he sees.
President Eisenhower is espe-
cially effective because he
thinks and acts in general
terms. He dislikes detail and
minutia; he leaves to his staff
the plotting of political oper-
atoms ana he really cares very
little about why the politi-
clans act as they do and how
they get practical effects they
seek under cover Of their ora
tory.
When he lays the killing Of
Federal aid to school construc-
ton solely to the Democrats,
it is possible to believe that he
really thinks so, as it would
not be possible of those sea-
soned cloakroom warriors,
Theodore and Franklin Roose-
welt and Harry Truman.
The true responsibility for
killing the school bill and every
other bill that is offered in
the broad category of civil
rights rests with the conserv-
alive coalition Of Democrats,
chiefly from the South, and
Republicans. chiefly from the
Midwest. which has dominated
Congress since about 1888.
From this arrangement,
largely perfected by the late
Senator Robert A. Taft, Re-
publicans draw the votes for
the tax and money measures
Of paramount interest to their
moneyed hackers. In turn,
they always find enough votes

from their people in areas un-
emotional about civil rights to
help kill the bills the South
erners think most important
to them.
The frightened cloture rule
adopted in the Both Congress,
making it harder than ever to
stop filibusters. bears the
names of the late Senator
Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska,
Republican, who was then act
ing majority leader. and Sen
ator Richard B. Russell, Dem
ocrat of Georgia. 1t is, in
essence, the sign and seal Of
the coalition, as the Senate
Finance Committee is its
bulwark.
With few exceptions-Sen-
ator Paul H. Douglas Of
Illinois, who has just joined it.
and occasionally Senator
Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma.
both Democrats - there is
really no majority and minor
ity on Senate finance.
Senator George w. Norris
OF Nebraska once put it that
liberal government could not
prevail without being con-
tinuously in Office with con-
gressional majorities for 20
years, because it would take
that long to reform the Sem
ate Finance Committee.
What President Eisenhower
could have done but did not
do in the latest skirmish--the
school construction bill was de-
feated last July 5-was put
the heat on House Republic
cans to vote for its passage.
OF this group, 70 voted to
put the anti-segregation
amendment in the bill, thus
insuring a solid South vote
against it. Then they voted
against the bill when they
could have passed it.
Republicans were then. as
now. completely dependent on
President Eisenhower's being
their candidate. His power over
them was demonstrated in
every issue where he chose to
take a strong line. as on the
farm bill and Hell's Canyon.
On the school bill, no such

And Draft Held Harmful to West

that failed in Korea and
China?
Certainly the Europeans who
are observing the American
political campaign are wonder
ing whether Harry Truman's
belligerency. Adlai Stevenson's
idea which could weaken the
defense structure. and Estes
Kefauver's encouragement of
Nasser are going to be APP
proved by the people Of the
United States at the coming
election.
Chancellor Adenauer of West
Germany has been having a
hard time getting sanction
from his parliament on the
draft or CONSUMPTION law. The
term Of service there was
recently shortened as a COM
promise. The same issue is up
throughout the NATO coun-
tries, especially in Britain.
where the fight against the
draft is being carried on by
those who also want to play
appeaser to Soviet Russia.
Stevenson's attack on the
draft implies that he would
depend entirely on the volun-
teer system. Yet the relatively
low number of draftees being
called today is directly attrib-
utable to the fact that many
young men prefer to volunteer
so as TO get through their mill
tary service at a particular
time instead Of waiting to be
drafted at some period in an
uncertain future.
Stevenson says he and
many others feel "the draft is
a wasteful, inefficient. and
often unfair way of maintain
ing our armed forces, and now
it is fast becoming an obSo-
lete way" He adds:
I'VE may very well find that
in the not far distant future
we can abolish the draft and
at the same tim e have a
stronger defense and at lower
cost"
But Stevenson doesn't tell
how manpower is then to be
obtained. Modern air forces,
modern armies and modern
navies cannot be handled by
robots. They require hundreds
of thousands of men. Does

encroachments but to create a
third force" completely in
dependent Of both great pow
ers-the United States and the
USSR. This third force"
would watch impassively what
ever conflict might occur be-
tween the two contemporary
giants and would be sure that
Europe. west Of the Elbe River,
did not become involved.
Rightly or wrongly, the
peoples Of Europe have become
convinced that Russia is no
menace to them. They be-
lieve that whatever strained
relations have existed in the
past were caused by the So
VETS aims to crush Americas
influence and power, and on
the other hand by Americas
determination to resist this.
Even the Germans who have
suffered so much at the hands
OF the Russians are beginning
to feel that the removal of the
United States from the concert
of Western powers might help
the unification of the two
Germanies
There is no doubt that in
the last few years the British
and French have associated
themselves reluctantly with
our policy Of keeping the
Soviets within their own boun-
darie. They. like the rest of
our allies and associates in
Europe, have resented the re-
strictions on trading freely
with the USSR and in fact
have frequently broken agree
ments by selling strategic ma
terials surreptitiously to our
enemies.

School Issue in the Campaign

pressures came from the White
House. This is matter about
which the cloakrooms, which
are wired for the sound of the
grapevine, cannot be mistaken.
They know what a President
does or refrains from doing.
1t is frequently said that
President Eisenhower does not
think he should put the heat
on Congress. The cloakrooms
know he does 1t when he is
sufficiently interested.
The Southern Dem CORA t
faces a condition at home and
not a theory when he fights
against a civil rights bill. In
the same way. Republicans
can defend the coalition on
the ground that they are the
party Of business and if they
neglect its interests they may
be defeated. They are not in
nocent Of hypocrisy on civil
rights.
An example Of the case
against them and Eisenhower
is Illinois, which he recently
entered to plead for the cleo
ton of the entire Republican
slate. Eight Illinois House
members voted for the Powell
amendment but against the
school bill. Eisenhower called
several of these by name in
his Peoria appeal.
Not one of the eight has a
situation in his district where
he could be politically dam
aged by a pro-Negro, vote. Like
their fellow Midwesterners.
they can vote for civil rights
If they please.
The President has never at
tempted to rally this crucial
bloc which can join with lib-
eral Democrats any day for
civil rights but stays hitched
just enough to the coalition to
prevent that. Not all vote with
the South every time-just
enough. There is room for ma
newer in case some member
has a special problem.
In this situation liberal
Democrats have relied, as now,
upon the social and economic
measures Of the New and Fair
Deals to hold the Negro vote.
The conservative coalition has
not been able to stand against
these bills affecting so many
voters.

The campaign addresses

The campaign addresses
particularly the reckless
speeches Of Adlai Stevenson
and Estes Kefauver-have in
jured American prestige
abroad and have seriously
damaged the diplomacy of the
free world.
To denounce CONSUMPTION,
as Stevenson has done, is to
undermine the strength of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation.
To blame the Suez crisis on
the withdrawal by Secretary
Dulles Of American aid to
Egypt for the Aswan Dam
as Kefauyer charges-is to
encourage Nasser and make
more difficult the negotiation
of a peaceful settlement.
To call on the United States
AS Stevenson has done--for
an abandonment Of H-bomb
tests even If Russia doesn't
stop her tests and then, when
this is criticized. to demand
this week that America take
the leadership" in banning
such tests because, in the be-
lief of the Democratic nomi-
nee, Russia now is willing to
renounce them, is to compile
cate the problem Of negotiat-
ing disarmament agreement.
For there Is no way for Ste
venson to know what Russia
will or will not agree to and
particularly what safeguards,
If any, can be obtained to
make sure that any agree
ments made with Moscow will
be kept. But, in the midst of
the delicate process OF seeking
understandings with Soviet
Russia, is all this a proper
topic to be debated in a politi-
cal campaign?
Apparently the old principle
that politics should end at the
waters edge" now has been
abandoned by the Democratic
campaigners. Former President
Truman has added to the con-
fusion by his comments. He
says he wouldn't have let
Soviet Russia get a foothold in
the Middle East. How would
he have stopped the Kremlin?
