SUNDAY, JANUARY I, IA

to believe the national trend still
was Democratic.
Second, AdIai Stevenson formal
~ announced his candidacy for the
Democratic presidential nominal
tion-and the Ayerell Hartman
boom collapsed.
The effect Of the elections was
twofold. The Democrats became
genuinely confident Of victory in
1856. and the Republicans became
convinced that only an Eisen-
hower-like candidate could win for
them. With Chief Justice Warren
apparently unavailable. the Repub-
lican leaders decided the President
himself had to be the candidate.
The G. o. P. National Committee
decided to work on the assumption
that MIR. Eisenhower would be Q
candidate, and that assumption
was retained the rest of the year.
Mr.. Stevenson became the only
light-horse candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination on the strength
Of the reception of his announce
ment. Suddenly almost no one was
publicly interested in Mr.. Harri-
man. None of the professionals
ever had been interested in Sen.
ator Estes Kefauyer. of course)
Also of interest in the realm Of
politics was a 13-point program
laid out by Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon johnson for the 1856 leeis-
lative season. It was middle-of-
the-road program designed to take
the play away from the admins
tration.
Meanwhile the Big -Four confer
ence was fizzling even more than
the diplomatic "old pros" had pre-
dicted. The Russians finally re-
iected American disarmament pro-
posals, but offered nothing new in
stead: there was a Communist stall
on German unity that boiled down
to an admission that the Big Four
could do nothing to unity that
country unless it were made Red
satellite; and Russia declined to
agree to even the smallest measure
to increase West contacts.
The "acid test Of the spirit Of
Geneva revealed nothing but the
same old sounding brass.
Visit to South Asio
Russia kept UP her diplomatic Of
fensive in visit of Kremlin leaders
to India. Burma and Afghanistan.
Khrushchev and Bulganin scored
the West and promised much aid to
the Asian countries. Crowds in
India and Burma cheered. There
apparently were few second
thoughts, however, for Indian
Prime Minister Nehru said later
the Red attacks on America and
Britain had embarrassed Indian
hospitality. All in all, though, the
visit was counted as a success for
Russia.
The two largest South American
countries had political troubles
during the month. Argentina's pro-
visional president was deposed, and
Brazil had three presidents" in
one week.
! And White House conference on
education discussed problems which
were old hat to teachers but which
took on new significance TO the adj
miniStration. A new Federal aid
program was the likely result Of
the conference.

OCTOBER
Egyptions Make Deal
With Reds for Arms
As President Rests

October was expected to be
month OF domestic crisis, of fun
bling answers to the questions: Who
should be handed the reins of
government? How would the adj
ministration operate in the inter-
regnum?
Perhaps there was a crisis in
October. Perhaps historians some
day will report that decisions not
made in that month prepared the
way for later troubles. But there
was no tension in the air in WASH
ington. Talk Of crisis faded
rapidly.
BY mutual consent the executive
branch was left to run itself. Basic

DECEMBER
Cold Wor Is on Again
But Domestic Boom
Cheers Americans

In the years last month, foreign
affairs seemed to have come full
circle. AS in January. the cold war
was on and the United States was
firm in its policy of containment.
If there was reason for gloom in
world affairs there was room for
little except rejoicing in domestic
affairs. The Nation, despite Krem-
lin predictions to the contrary, was
completely out of the 1855 recession
and was in the biggest boom the
world had ever seen.
Organized labor was doing so well
it could afford to lay aside major
factional disputes and cement the
unity of the American Federation
of Labor and Congress of Industrial
Organizations. George Meany, the
man-of-the-month was named head
of the new 15-million- man labor
federation.
The administration cheered the
merger. but big business, in the
person of National Association Of
manufacturer officials, said the big
union was potential political
menace.
Bigger 81 Budget
Congressional leaders were given
a peek at the fiscal 1857 budget
proposals. which looked bigger than
those of fiscal IS. Larger requests
for military and foreign aid money
reflected the year-end realization
that the cold-war stalemate will be
with us for some time.
I In politics, Senator Kefauver
announced his 1856 candidacy.
The decision that the only course
was to keep our guard up was
echoed by other NATO countries
when they met to appraise Euro
pean defenses in December. The
consensus at the meeting was to
resist the temptation to let recent
Soviet smiles lower Western de-
lenses.
Russia. meanwhile, gave "sov-
ereignty'' to East Germany. and
tiled, through petty harassing, to
make the West deal with East
Germany as an equal.
France was in the throes of an
election campaign in December.
Premier Faure succeeded in getting
a vote of no-confidence. permitting
him to dissolve the Parliament and
set new elections tomorrow. His
chief rival among the center poll
ticians, Pierre Mendes-France, was
furious because immediate elections
under the old, cumbersome sys-
TENS made 1t difficult for him to
organize his hackers.
U. Ms Sole Accomplishment
The 10th General Assembly Of
the United Nations closed with one
outstanding accomplishment--and
only one. 1t admitted 16 new ma
tions to membership, four Soviet
satellites, six European nations
and six recruits to the Arab-Asian
bloc. Only Japan, vetoed by Rus.
STA, and Outer Mongolia, vetoed by
Nationalist China, were denied adj
mission.
The month-and year-ended
with Kremlin blast at President
Eisenhower, who had committed
the crime of pointing out at Christi
mastime that the United States
still sought the peaceful liberation
Of the captive peoples behind the
Iron Curtain.

I'VE must wait for those now

DR.. Bevis. president emeritus Of

"The United States? Yes
that is taught too. but with limi-

do not learn about the govern

Ban on Faculty
'Raiding' Urged

Representative Patman called
on the Defense Department to-
day to prevent defense contrac-
tors with cost-plus research
contracts from raiding college
faculties"
Il think Secretary Wilson can
find some way Of stopping this
and saving the taxpayer some
money as well as helping the
colleges" the Texas Democrat
said.
Mr.. Patman is chairman Of a
Senate-House economic subcom-
mittee which is conducting hear
ings on automation, the indus
trial development in which ma
chinery and instruments are
used to do jobs formerly per-
formed by workers.
Fantastic Salaries" Cited
Elmer Charles Easton, dean OF
engineering at Rutgers Univer-
sity. described the raiding in
testimony late yesterday.
He said companies with cost
plus government contracts of
fer fantastic salaries chargeable
to these contracts.
Mr.. EaSton said he talked re-
Gently with a former college pro-
feSSor of engineering who was
recruiting" other professors for
one of these contractors.
Il regarded him as a traitor
to the teaching profession" Mr.
EaSton said.
He said he favored high pay
for engineers but these very
high offers are a reflection, not
of the value of the engineer, but
of desperation of a company
which accepted a contract with
out a staff to fulfill it,"
Mr.. Patman said Defense off,
Gals probably could add a pro-
vision to research contracts that
would prevent raiding.
