Tito Plays Both Sides

Marshal Tito, in keeping with the
line. ignored the corpse of Stain
when he laid a wreath on the tomb
of Lenin in Moscow's Red Square
and praised Soviet-Yugoslav friend
ship so copiously that he sent a
shudder through the entire United
States foreign aid program. To be
sure Marshal Tito declared he fore
saw no change in relations between
his country and America, and even
expressed his willingness to visit the
United States If invited.
But lawmakers hostile to foreign
aid in general were quick to seize
on the Moscow manifestation Of
Red solidarity to demand a COM
plete end to further economic or
military aid to Yugoslavia. whether
or not the land Of Tito was "inde-
pendent" of Kremlin tutelage. And
President Eisenhower. at his We'd
nesday news conference, declared
that the question of further aid
to Yugoslavia should be re-exam-
ined in the light of the Moscow
developments. He stood pat. how
ever. on his earlier request for $50
million in Yugoslav economic aid

that there was no indication that
immediate surgery was needed. Aft
er X-rays had been taken, Mr..
Hagerty announced at 2:15 am.
that the doctors had decided to OPP
crate Immediately.
The doctors objective was to
eliminate an obstruction" which
had caused an Inflammation Of
the 1leum. the 12-foot- lower
portion of the small intestine, which
joins the large intestine.
The Health Issue Again
Although the operation was a ma
jor one, it was not a spectacular
one in these days of prefrontal
lobotomies and cardiac surgery. Had
Mr.. Eisenhower been younger than
his IS years, had he not suffered
heart attack, the impact on the po-
litical scene of his sudden illness
could hardly be so great.
The Democrats have not quite
given up the health issue. despite
the frequent picture of a smiling
President playing 81 holes of golf
and putting in full days at his
White House desk.
Now Republicans and Democrats
of the entire Nation have been re-
minded that the health issue is still
very much present. The Democrats
will see that the voters are reminded
OF 1t more and more. However,
II the doctors are right and Mr..
Eisenhower recuperates completely
and speedily without complications,
G. o. P. strategists will be in a posi-
ton to point to a President who,
despite his years and past medical
history, is resilient as the original
"Old Hickory" They might, in a
word, use the very issue of health
to prove him able to endure physi-
cally for another four years the
most demanding job in the world.
But there is not world of time
between now and the August con-
ventions. and it is this lack of time
that will work against the Repub-
licans. The specter of a candidate
who has been hospitalized by seri-
GUS illness twice in nine months
will hang heavily about the party.
From now until the polls close on
November 6, every presidential
sneeze will cause hearts to skip a
beat at Republican National Head
quarters here.
Much is up to President Eisen-
hover himself. During the months
of speculation before he announced
his second-term candidacy on Feb
ruary 20, he said that if at any
time he felt that he would not
be up to the job, he would step
down.
II the present situation leads to
this. the election of 1856 will be
a wide-open affair and the odds
on a Republican victory will take
a tumble, just as did the stock

it Enthusiastically plain that the Bit
ter rift between Moscow and Bel
grade had been the work of evil
and designing persons and need
never have been, since there were
no basic areas of disagreement be-
tween the two nations.
The redoubtable Tito even plainly
reminded his Kremlin hosts-some
OF whom were crying for his blood
but a few short years ago-that
future relations with Moscow would
depend basically on their reform
of Stains policies. There was
nothing in the triumphal Tito visit
to suggest the Grant son returning
to the fold repentant. Rather did
the Yugoslav convey successfully
the idea that the warm reconcilia-
ton was the result of fundamental
changes in Moscow which clearly
recognized that he, Tito, had been
right all along.

Another Letter
From Moscow

On Thursday afternoon the usu-
ally dour and taciturn Soviet Am
baSsador to the United States,
Georgi N. zaroubin, smilingly de-
livered to Secretary of State Dulles
a new letter to President Eisen-
hover from Soviet Premier Bull
ganin. The Russian envoy, on
leaving the State Department, was
unusually affable, even jovial, with
newsmen.
AS made public by the White
House on Friday night, the latest
in the series of messages from the
kremlin called on the United
States and its allies to cut their
armed forces in Germany without
waiting for international agreement
on the disarmament issue. The cur
rent. long drawn u. N. negotiations,
the Premier observed, were actual
ly slowing progress toward easing
the burden Of ornaments, and in
the Soviet opinion the practical
thing to do was to emulate the re-
Gently announced Russian cut in
military manpower.
No official reply to the Bulganin
letter is expected until the Presi-
dent has had a chance to talk it
over with Mr.. Dulles and his other
top advisers, but unofficial COM
ment yesterday suggested the mes
sage was viewed as more propa-
ganda-conscious than disarmament
minded. Significantly, State De-
partment sources pointed out that
the message made no reference to
steps toward reduction or control
Of nuclear weapons and failed to
mention the Eisenhower open sky"
proposals made at Geneva for mu-
tual aerial surveillance of military
establishments.

Foreign Aid:
The Cut Sticks

How much effect the affectionate
get-together in Moscow mAy have
had can be a matter of conjecture.
but it was starkly clear at the end
of the week that the Eisenhower
administration had been Soundly
defeated in the first major test of
the foreign aid bill.
The showdown came in the House
on Thursday, when a vote of 1872
to 112 backed the House Foreign
Affairs Committee in its recon-
mended slash of $1.1 billion in for
eign aid funds, chiefly for military
items.
The House acted despite direct
appeal by President Eisenhower on
the very eve of the vote, an appeal
backed by Democratic Speaker Sam
.Rayburn and by House Republican
Leader Joe Martin. So decisive was
the teller vote that the possibility
Of calling for a roll-call vote to-
morrow was abandoned when G.
o. P. Leader Martin admitted
gloomily I'VE do not have the
votes"
The administration supporters
had to reform quickly for their next
battle-over an effort to cut of
all aid to Yugoslavia. With the help
of House Foreign Affairs Chairman
Richards. Democrat of South Car
DINA, who had led the fight for
the foreign aid funds cut, they were
able Friday to defeat an about
ban on Yugoslav aid by vote
OF 1913 to IS. Apparently Marshal.
Tito'S fulsome praise for the glories
OF socialism had taken much Of
the bloom off the rose of direct
American aid. but the House vote
left the matter up to the discretion
of the President.
Secretary of State Dulles last
night voiced an urgent plea for
national understanding of the role
Of foreign aid in Americas defense.
In an address to the graduating
class of Iowa State College at Ames,
Mr.. Dulles outlined the costs and
the returns of assistance to friendly
nations and declared continuance
OF the program at the 81 billion
level was indispensable to the Sc
curity of the free world until such
time as international communism
"renounces expansionist goals"-a
time the Secretary did not despair
OF ultimately realizing.

In a number Of secret sessions
with the Pentagon's top men the
committee asked the same question,
whether this years requests repre-
sent new appraisals Of the new mill
tary situation. The prevailing COM
mittee view is that there has been
no such reappraisal Of the new mill
tary strategy. AS of last month,

peas, baked potato, tossed salad
with a special lemon dressing,
Strawberries and sugar and decaf-
feinated coffee.
At 1888 pm. Thursday the
President returned to the White
House from the hotel. At 12:45
am. Mrs. Eisenhower called the
Presidents physician, DR.. Howard
Nice. Snyder, and told him that
her husband had an upset stomach.
DR.. Snyder prescribed a light dose
of milk of magnesia.
At 1880 Mrs. Eisenhower again
called DR.. Snyder at his home, tell
ing. him the President was still
complaining, and asking him to
come to the White House. DR..
Snyder arrived at the White House
at am. and stayed at Mr.. Eisen-
hower's bedside the rest of the
night.
The first announcement of an
upset stomach came from Mr..
Hagerty at $50 am. At 1920
pm. Mr.. Hagerty announced that
the case had been diagnosed as
ileitis, or intestinal inflammation,
and that the President would be
taken to Walter Reed hospital. He
repeated an earlier statement that
there is no indication of heart
trouble"
The President, still in his brown
pajamas, arrived at the hospital
in an ambulance at 1:40 pm. and
was carried inside on a stretcher.
Much of the afternoon was spent
in testing the Presidents heart and
taking X-ray pictures of the af-
f1icted abdominal area.
At SOS pm. Mr.. Hagerty con-
coded that there was a possibility"
that major surgery would be re-
quired. He added. however, that the
doctors had told him it would be
wrong to classify the Presidents
condition as critical" Mr.. Hag-
erty reported at 1887 pm. shortly

The congressional fight over for
eign aid is personally dangerous
to legislators this year because
every House member and a third
of the Senators will be campaign
ing for reelection a few weeks
after their final vote on a grant Of
SIS billion dollars worth of foreign aid.
The lawmakers are faced by an
embarrassing choice between warn
ings of President Eisenhower that
the expenditure is basic TO national
security and the statement Of a
committee Of Congress that the mil
itary aid share of the total is so
watered that 1t can be cut 81 bill
lion without affecting security at
all. Since Congressman still find
foreign aid one of the toughest
things to explain back home. the
debate will continue through the
closing days Of Congress on the
touchy issue Of waste Of the tax

The President's Illness

market on Friday. when the Presi-
dent was stricken.
No Other Eisenhower
The Republican Party has forest
of presidential timber but it has
no other oak as mighty as Mr..
Eisenhower when it comes to voter
appeal.
When Mr.. Eisenhower is elimi-
mated from discussion as a candi-
date, the name that comes irnmedi-
ately to mind is that of Vice Presi-
dent Nixon. He is a favorite of Mr..
Eisenhower's and could count on
the Presidents unqualified indorse-
ment-which would mean much to
any man seeking the voters favor.
Mr.. Nixon is as appealing to many
as he is repelling to others. He. is
a hard campaigner-the Republican
answer to Harry Humankind is a
past master in the art of appealing
to emotions.
But he does not enjoy unanimous
support even in his own party. There
are those who resent his ambitions
because of his age, others who feel
he lacks experience. and still others
who feel that he has antagonized
many independent voters who could
accept him only on an Eisenhower
ticket. Perhaps the consideration
most damaging to Mr.. Nixon's am
billions is the host of polls which
show that, while Mr.. Eisenhower is
the favorite over any Democrat, Mr..
Nixon runs poor second to Adlai
Stevenson in voter popularity. But
despite these disadvantages, the Vice
President must be accepted as the
leading front runner for the Repub-
lican nomination should Mr.. Eisen-
hover decide to stay nthe side
lines.
Toft Group a Factor
The Taft faction in the Repub-
lican Party is still power which
would have to be taken into account
in such Republican race, though
it lacks the pulling power necessary
to hopes for victory. Their candi-
date would be Senate Majority
Leader William Knowland, who
himself was candidate before Mr..
Eisenhower put himself back into
the race. If Mr.. Eisenhower bows
out. Senator Knowland can be ex-
pected to rush forward with notice
of his availability.
Other Republican dark horses
would be the twice defeated candi-
date of the 40s, Thomas E. Dewey;
Massachusetts Gov. Christian Her.
ter. and Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey.
Democratic Hopes
The Democrats believe, perhaps
with good reason, that any of their
present top contenders-Steven
Hartman or Kefauver-would be
more attractive to the electorate
than any Republican except Mr..
Eisenhower.
So should Mr.. Eisenhower with
draw, 1t will be good news to all
Democrats, but especially to Gov.
Averell Hartman, who announced
his formal candidacy yesterday
while the President was under ether.
Gov. Hartman, or any other Demo-
crat who can seriously challenge
Adlai Stevenson at the convention
will offer the powerful argument
that Mr.. Stevenson already has suf-
fered defeat in a presidential cleo
ton and must not be allowed to do
so again.
But at this point, with the Presi-
dent still on his back In a hospital
bed again, only one thing seems
really safe for speculation-that the
Big Guessing Game Of 1856 still has
a few innings TO 20.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-10

nonmalignant, when news of the
new illness first came out Friday,
many minds went back to Denver,
Colo, and last September "a, when
Mr.. Eisenhower was stricken with
coronary thrombosis. Then too, the
world first was told that the Chief
Executive had merely suffered an
upset" stomach. Then too, Presi-
dental Press Secretary James Hag-
erty cautiously hedged on his re-
ports to newsnnen and for hours
no one knew really how serious was
the Presidents condition. Perhaps
the most ominous note in the events
the day before yesterday was
hurried flight to Washington by
Boston heart specialist Paul Dudley
White, who had nursed the Presi-
dents heart back to health after
the Denver attack last year.
For 158 days following September
"a. 1855, the Nation busted itself
with an exciting and suspenseful
marathon guessing game, with the
odds on Mr.. EiSenhower's political
intentions changing weekly.
In the early weeks of his illness,
the duties of the President had been
handled by team set up along the
lines of a general staff" and COM
posed of Vice President Richard
Nixon, Presidential Assistant Sher-
man Adams, Treasury Secretary
George Humphrey. Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles and De-
Tense Secretary Charles E. Wilson.
The big guessing game reached
the seventh-inning stretch when
the President flew from Denver to
Key West, Fla. the week after
Christmas for 10 days of rest be-
fore returning to his desk in the
White House on January 8.
He Stotes the Problem
In the weeks to come there fol-
lowed many announcements by the
President that alluded to- his own
feeling about his health and his
plans for the future. Some of
the extremely honest and candid
thoughts he expressed during this
period might well become pertinent
again within the next few days or
weeks:
1.-THE problem is what will be the
effect (of his health) on the pres
idency, not on me-" (January 25.)
1T would be idle to pretend that
my health can be wholly restored.
;. My future life must be care
fully regulated to avoid excessive
fatigue" (January 49,
1.-THE Presidency is probably the
most taxing job. as far as firing of
the mind and spirit" january 81
On st. Valentines Day, the staff
