President Vetoes
Controversial Bill,
Citing Lobby's Role
JANUARY 20, 1856

In gambit of statecraft that had
In it both high moral principle and
fashioned political shrewdness,
President Eisenhower last Friday
afternoon vetoed the controversial
natural gas bill.
The Presidents move was not
only eminently defensible, 1t was
unassailable. There had been evi-
dence of shenanigans on the part
of profit-hungry oil promoters, and
there was the suspicion that in the
end the consumer G.e., the voter
would get stung. Mr.. Eisenhower
took both factors into consideration
In refusing to sign the gas bill into
law.
And at the same time, he dealt
a staggering blow to the Democrats

hover administration is dedicated
to a "giveaway" of resources to big

Democrats admitted had give

Democrats and pushed by Demo-
Gratis through both Houses-but
with crucial Republican support.
1t was a Republican. however, and
not Democrat, who prevented the
giveaway from taking effect.

Nixon's Role in 1856
Is Studied by 6. 0. P;
Court Claim Pondered

Vice President Richard M. Nixon,
whose name is anathema to Dem
ocrats right and left. North and
South, was being assayed last week
in terms of his potential as an
asset or q liability to Republican
chances in November.
Mr.. Nixon never has been uni
versally admired even in his own
party. Muffied rumblings recently
have added to the signs that his
popularity among his own political
comrades In arms is. further than
ever from unanimity, with Republic
can leaders taking a closer look
at any possible November ticket
that would include the Vice
President.
Mr.. Nixon's Lincoln Day address
in New York on Monday. delivered
in his usual Understanding fash
ion. posed new problems for his
fellow Republicans. They certainly
did not mind his attack on Demo-
Gratis in general and Adlai Stevenson
("the great hair-splitter") in par
ticular. But his claim that the
G. o. P. should be given credit for
the school desegregation decision
was something else again. Mr..
Nixon's reasoning was that since a
Republican, appointed Chief Justice
read the court decision, his party
should get credit for the epoch
making ruling.
Southern Democrats Immediately
pointed to the statement as pre-
else proof Of what they had been
saying all along: That the de-
segregation decision was purely
political. And for campaign pur-
poses. Democrats in general were
ready to decry the injection of the
Supreme Court into politics.
Nevertheless. 1t could not be for
gotten that Mr.. Eisenhower still
holds his Vice President in high
regard. Mr.. Nixon is also esteemed
by other powerful G. o. P ele-
mentS. notably many professional
politicians who regard him with
one craftsman's admiration for an
other.
Should Mr.. Eisenhower run
again. and request that Mr.. Nixon
be allowed to accompany him on
the ticket. 1t is likely the President
would get his wish. But there are
several Instantaneous factors the
party stalwarts would want to get
across to the President. These
include:

popularity with almost all Re-
publicans, most independents and
many Democrats, MIR. Nixon's fans

AS the 1856 campaign gathered
early momentum. Adlai E. Steven
son began to emerge as the candi-
date of moderation-except on the
subject of Richard M. t"all-pur-
pose") Nixon. Most of his modera-
ton appeared to be reserved for
the question of civil rights. For
instance. he didn't think it a good
idea to send Federal troops into
the South and he was opposed to
any requirement that Federal
school aid go only to States with
integrated school systems. For
these stands, Mr.. Stevenson was
losing some old friends, and others
were growing cooler toward him.
Among the friends he had made
unhappy was the ultra Liberal New
York Post. AFL-CIO President
George Meany chided him for run
ming away" His departed friends
were mostly Negro leaders, many
OF whom transferred to the camp

It wasn't all loss for Mr.. Steven

ginia. where former Gov. Colgate
Darden and other Democrats
praised his moderation on the
segregation issue.
Though Negro leaders may like
Senator Kefauver's 1856 statements
on the race issue. a look into his
voting record in the Senate and
House might not entirely please
them. In 1850. Senator Kefauver
had Joined other Southern Demo-
Gratis in voting against cloture dur

he had also voted to permit draftees
to choose the units In which they
would serve, which was contrary to
a plan aimed at ending segregation
in the services. A year earlier, he
had voted for change in the Sem
ate's cloture rule which made it
harder to break filibuster. And in
1910. as a Representative, he had
voted against an anti-lynching bill.
