from Mr.. Eden that Britain
will not. under any circum-
stances, use armed forces to
settle the suez controversy.
Obviously, no responsible
government Of any nation In
the world could make such a
guarantee and still call itself
a government.
Administration hands can.
not be tied in such q way, but
must be left free to act quickly
should the need arise. But the
British opposition leaders have
at least focused enough at
tention on the growing threat
to peace to insure that there
will be no casual action In the
crisis.
Put together with American
opposition to the use Of force,
and the stand Of the neutrals
OF the world, plus the Arab
and Soviet support which Mas
ser enjoys, the result Ia TO
greatly lessen the perils Of q
blowup over Suex.
But we have to take thought
that the same set Of factors,
the same alignment Of opposi-
ton, could seriously weaken
the Free World in another
crisis later. when the antag.
oniSt, or the threat, would be
the Communist aggressors
rather than the nationalist
and ambitious Col. Nasser.

How Nixon Handles Himself
Will Be Novel Aspect of Election
DORIS FLEESON

So many reporters of all
kinds and photographers
asked to accompany Vice
President Nixon on his cross
country campaign, a priori-
ties list for his airplane had
to be established. Left over
were about 10 applicants. At
a late hour it was still being
debated whether to charter
an accompanying plane.
The situation marks gen.
eral public acceptance of two
things. One is that President
Eisenhower'S Vice President is
important as rarely before.
Two is that the man occupy
ing that role. Richard Nixon,
Is a controversial figure.
Thus the Nixon issue is
Joined. The story of how he
handles himself and of the
effect he produces will be the
genuinely novel aspect of this
election.
The contrast with the recent
past is immense.

Wallace, being more contro-
versial, got more attention but
was no more than adequately
covered.
The Democratic National
Committee thought it had
done its duty by Roosevelt's
fourth Vice President, Harry
S. Truman, when it assigned
George Allen to tell him jokes
and keep him company on his
rather limited travels. Rela-
lively few reporters trailed the
Truman-Allen combination.
Truman said recently of that
campaign: when Allen trav-
eled with me he was always my
crony. Now that he is with
Eisenhower all the time he is
described as an important

DAVID LAWRENCE

Whoever helps Adlai Steven
son prepare his speeches or
whoever writes them for him
certainly pulled a "boner'
when the Democratic presiden-
tial nominee was politically
"brainwashed" by his regency"
into making the following
statement in his speech at
Harrisburg:
"Why is President Eisen-
hover the first President in
this century to lose control Of
Congress in his first elected
term?"
Now a glance at the his
tory books will show that No
vember. 1910, is in this century
and that William Howard Taft,
a Republican. who had been
elected in 1908. was then serv-
ing his first elected term"
But the House Of Representa-
tives went Democratic in the
middle Of that term.
1t may be argued by the
Stevenson speechwriters that,
after all. Mr.. Taft didn't lose
control Of all Of Congress but
only of a single house and that
Adlai really meant loss of con-
troll of both houses. But, if
that's the definition, then MIR.
Eisenhower didn't lose con-
troll" of Congress either. For
in November, 1854, only the
House of Representatives went
Democratic.
1t will be recalled that the
Senate was tie and that the
Republican Vice President
would have been able to exer-
else control for the Republican
Party had it not been for the
action-three months after the
1854 election of Senator
Wayne Morse of Oregon, who
during the six-year term for
which he was originally elected
in 1850 as a Republican, de-
cided of his own accord to turn
on his own party and vote with
the Democrats.
There was indeed clear case
in this century of a President
who lost control of both houses
of Congress in a decisive vote
by the electorate during his

On September II we raised
some questions of international

Article II specifically prohibits
the exercise by any party of a

On the other hand. Article
X modifies these restrictions

it necessary to take for the Sc

defense of Egypt or OF

One would think that in a
dispute involving interpreta-

be the international tribunal

indeed. why the legality of
