Lame Duck President

Since the last presidential
election. different ones on sew.
eral occasions have made re-
marks about the President
being . lame duck" Presi-
dent.
Recently Democratic Repre-
sentative Augustine B. Kelley
Of Pennsylvania made the
statement that President Eli
senhower would be the first
lame duck President because
Of the amendment limiting the
presidency to two terms.
After reading this state
ment by the Congressman, we
felt that the time had come
for someone to make q cor
rection.
According to the dictionary,
q lame duck official Is one who
was defeated In the election,
but is still serving until the
end Of his term. The President
was reelected by q majority
Of something like 10 million
votes. How can he be consid-
cred q lame duck? Who can
say that he would not be
elected again, II there were no
law to the contrary?
II Mr.. Stevenson had won
the election. President Eisen-
hover would be serving now as
a lame duck President, until
the Inauguration of the new
President. But, Mr.. Eisen-
hover won the election; and
Is not. and never win be q
lame duck President.

Hungary and Cyprus

Ever since the Hungarian
uprising started / compared
every phase Of it with the two
year-old uprising of the Cyp-
riots against the British Co
lonial rule, and I found q
striking resemblance.
I could not, however, find
any resemblance in the at
titude and the position that
the Government and the press
Of this country has taken
towards the Hungarian and
the Cypriot fight for freedom.
I have always wondered
what Is it that 1t makes the
Hungarian revolt an act Of
heroism and a forceful demon
stration Of love for freedom
while in the case Of Cyprus
the same fight for freedom is
branded as "unwarranted use
of violence" or "terrorism?"
What is it that it makes the
Hungarian fighters heroes"
and the Cypriots "terrorists
and outlaws?" Why the kid
mapping and deportation Of
Imre Macy. the true leader of
the Hungarian people was
strongly condemned by the
Government and the press
while the kidnapping and the
deportation Of Archbishop
Makarios. the elected leader
Of the Cypriots' was and is
accepted without an official
protest Of the United States
Government or any strong
reaction Of the American
press?
In your issue Of December
20. under the title "Kadar Is
Given Power to Jail Any
Strikers" you reported the
following: "The Russian backed
Hungarian government has
re-established the dreaded in
ternment system under which
thousands Of people we're
jailed without trial during the
Stain era" 1t Is common
knowledge that Harding. the
British governor Of Cyprus. Is
vested with these powers, that
the Kadar government Is now
acquiring. for more than two
years and he has made ample
use Of his powers. Hundreds
Of Cypriots have been jailed
and are sim in jail without
trial or even an explanation.
The same IL true for the four
exiled Cypriot leaders. They
have never been tried and
were never given the chance
TO answer the phony and un-
founded accusations Of the
Cyprus colonial despots. Why
Is II that in the case Of
Hungary these powers are
dreaded" while for Cyprus
are considered as necessary
measures to establish law and
order?"
Why is II that the enforce
ment Of an undesired regime
BY the Russians in Hungary Is
regarded as violation Of the
y. N. Charter while the efforts
Of the British TO enforce upon
the Cypriots . mockery Of .
constitution with limited self :
rule" are regarded - sincere
efforts" for the solution Of the
Cyprus problem7

The 85th Congress gets un-
derway next week. A great
deal Of work lies before it.
Furthermore. both the Repub-
hcans and the Democrats will
be seeking to make a record
that will appeal to the voters
when the 1858 congressional
campaign gets going.
Time will be the essence Of
accomplishment. The Demo-
Gratis control both houses Of
Congress. but by a razor edge
in the Senate and by q COM
paratively narrow margin in
the House.
Most Of the work Is done
In committees. which prepare
measures for the consideration
Of the House and Senate. They
can speed UP legislation or
hopelessly delay it--and even
plgeOunOle IL.
Both Democrats and Repub-
licans are awaiting the Pres
ident's message on the State Of
the Union--to be delivered
January 10 at a Joint session
Of the Senate and House. It
is expected to contain his rec
concentrations, his program.
Much will depend on how
quickly the necessary bills to
carry out this program are
presented and the speed with
which they are given commit
tee consideration.
One Of the Presidents rec
concentrations undoubtedly
will call for civil rights legisla-
ton, particularly to strengthen
the hands Of the Department
Of Justice to see that the Me-
groeS in the South are given
full opportunity to vote.
And just as certainly, this
legislation will be resisted by
the Democrats of the South.
Already it is evident this re-
sistence will run to the length
Of a prolonged filibuster in the
Senate, If that be necessary.
Not Tsince reconstruction
days after the Civil War has
Congress put through civil
rights legislation urged on be-
half Of the Negroes particular
ly.
II anything effective is to be
done about it. 1t must be done
before the two houses are
begged down with appropria-
ton bills and legislation of
major inportance--like the
school bill, public power legis-
lation, public health measures,
a labor bill, and perhaps a farm
bill. These are domestic meas
ureS.
Much time must be also
given to the question of for
eign aid-how much, Of what
character and where-and to
national defense.
Always the southern Demo-
Gratis Of the Senate have been
able to postpone and effectual-

civil rights legislation until
