On ReoIignment

Ny reac tion to David
Koonce's interesting article in
The Sunday Star. March 4.
headed "Rightists Plan to Push
Realignment of PARTIES" is:
Amen, brother! It's about time
for a realignment.
1t is about time the Ameri-
can people be given opportu-
nifty to choose between Cd re-
capturing the faith of our
fathers in constitutional gov
eminent and co continuing
down the road to totalitarian
socialism to which we are
being driven by reactionary
pse u d DILL erals, who have
gained control of both the
Democratic and the Republic
can Parties, aided by the &C
quiescence of good but polit-
ically naive and sound-asleep
Americans.

the people, who really believe
in true American freedom,
wake up and elect to public
office statesmen who will put
the interest of our country
above political parties.

Smeors Butter

Answers to the question why
housewives buy margarine in
stead of butter, offered re-
Gently by M. M. Adams and
Peyton Lea, omit essential
points. The lower price of
margarine is for many con-
sumers a minor factor.
A more important reason for
the preference is that mar
garine is really better in sew
eral ways. 1t does not become
rancid with age and at room
temperature. like butter. It is
better for frying because it's
boiling point is higher, making
frying at higher temperatures
possible. For the same reason
it is better for making pastries.
1t has a clean, fresh taste in
stead Of the strong, stale taste
that all but top-quality butter
has. OF course. taste is entirely
subjective. but children who
are accustomed to margarine
will ask, if given butter. why
it has that unpleasant taste.
Whereas, modern margarine
is related to that of a half
century ago only by name: and
whereas, it is now better than
butter: Therefore, be it re-
solved. that henceforth we
shall designate the superior
product by the term Better. /"

Democrats Gaining Healthy Respect
For Presidents Political SkiIIs

ocrats as they try to figure
ways to reach him as a target.
For he never seems to be
blamed for acts of his admin
istration. or even policies of his
administration. Just now. for
example, it is Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Ezra Taft Benson who
is taking the heat as chief
scapegoat. 1t is against him
that disconnected farmers spill
their ire. 1t is his name that
they repeat bitterly-not Ike"
Similarly, the Presidents
popularity is at an even higher
level in the South, according
to polls, than in 1852 when he
got a tremendous vote there
and carried four Southern
States. He seems to get no
reflected blame in the public
school indignation turmoil, even
though well before the Su-
preme Court decision his ad-
ministration had espoused a
broad policy against segrega-
ton which it had supplemented
in numerous areas, including
the military services and the

THOMAS [. STOKES

Democrats are coming to
have a healthy respect for
President Eisenhower as a
skillful and effective politician.
Well they might-for the
party's Senate leadership is
smarting under two rebuffs in
a row administered by the
President, one after the other.
and involving the only two
major issues that Democratic
leaders thus far have brought
before this session.
The victory for the admits
tration on flexible price sup
ports in the farm bill, a per-
sonal triumph for the Presi-
dent, followed his unexpected
but very dramatic veto of the
natural gas bill which the Sen
