wise" Mr.. Eisenhower told his news
conference.
Asked if he believed his leader
ship would be made less effective
by the amendment, Mr.. Eisenhower
answered that he did not agree
that the restriction would greatly
damage his position as party leader.
He conceded that in some respects
a Presidents influence might de-
crease during a second term, but
he said he believed that the Chief
Executive still would retain his firm
hold on his party.
Mr.. Eisenhower, who is the first
President to be affected by the
amendment ratified in February.
1851, said that he doubted its wis
dom because he believes that "the
United States ought to be able to
choose for its President anybody
that it wants. regardless of the
number of terms he has served" He
added that he had no fears that
the absence of limitation on terms
would lead to a one-party govern
ment. II have the utmost faith in
the long term common sense of the
American people," Mr.. Eisenhower
said
His statements are certain to be
used as campaign fodder by Demo-
Gratis. who have warned that the
amendment would reduce the power
of the President if he wins a second
term.

Mr.. Stevenson's charges, even
though founded on fact, that most
Democrats supported the bill and
most Republicans opposed it. Mr..
Eisenhower also was ignoring some
pertinent points when he stated
that the Democrats defeated my
call to action" by 215 to 9, and that
this was the "only one clear VOTE"
Originally there were two versions
of the same bill, one Democratic
and one Republican. Their big
differences were in the amount of
money and methods of distributing
it. The Democratic version was the
one reported.
1t was a Democrat, Representa-
tive Adam c. Powell of New York,
who insisted on an antisegregation
amendment which many believed
would foredoom the whole bill.
But the Powell amendment was
adopted by a vote of 148 Repub-
licans and n Democrats against
as Republicans and 146 Democrats.
Then came a Republican effort
to tack the Eisenhower method
and amount to it. This was de-
feated, as Mr.. Eisenhower pointed
out, by nearly solid Democratic
opposition. The bill, however, was
still alive.
Finally, there was the vote on
the whole bill, including the Powell
amendment. 1t was defeated by
los Democrats and ll9 Repub-
licans, with 119 Democrats and
only rs Republicans backing the
legislation. Included in the figures
were So Republicans who voted for
the Powell amendment but against
the whole bill. The motives of
these 96 Republicans on both votes
might reasonably be questioned, but
on the other hand, had not Demo-
Gratis lined up against the Essen

would have passed school aid
legislation.
Noticeably lacking was any real
effort by administration forces to
put the weight of presidential sup
port behind the Presidents own
bill.

Tito-Khrushchev flight to Yalta. He
reiterated his confidence that the
Yugoslav leader would not only re-
tain his independent role in East
ern Europe, but would also press
the Russians to allow greater free
dom for the satellites behind the
Iron Curtain.
But whatever went on at Yalta
was still a secret yesterday. Be-
yond the disclosure of September
20 in Belgrade that there were
serious open questions involving
state and party relations" there
have been no explanations either
in the Soviet Union or in Yugo-
slavia as to the nature of the
problems discussed.
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin
and Hungary's new Communist
Party chief Emo Gero, Joined in
the Yalta talks. Radio Moscow, in
reporting the meetings, made them
appear to be mere social gatherings.
But there was no doubt in Western
minds that the sessions were major
discussions on matters of the great
est Importance.
A strong hint that the talks did
not go badly for Tito was seen in
the Budapest announcement that a
delegation of top Hungarian Com
munist leaders, headed by Mr..
Zero and Premier Andras Hegedus,
would visit Belgrade on october Is.
The Tito trip to Yalta raised new
questions on continued United States
aid to Yugoslavia.
President Eisenhower, under the
provisions of the foreign aid bill
passed at the last session of Con-
gress, must specifically state before
October 16 that Yugoslavia has not
changed her policies toward the So
Wet Union and that continued
United States aid is in the best in
tereSts of the Nation. If he finds
evidence to the contrary, aid to
Belgrade will cease. But all signs
point to a positive finding by the
President and continued American
support for the Yugoslav leader.

Justice in Poland

In three trials unprecedented in
annals of Iron Curtain justice. Po-
land almost gently acted against the
alleged leaders of the Poznan BREAD

The defendants, all youthful,
were on trial for a variety of
charges ranging from theft to
murder. Three youths were con-
victed last week in the killing of
secret police corporal; they will
be sentenced tomorrow. But the
court procedure against defendants
charged with lesser offenses, such
as overturning streetcars, hurting
flaming gasoline and stealing mill

Tito's Mission

Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito re-

Nikita Khrushchev. When he, went
to Russia, there was a furry of
speculation: Were there new de-
velopments in the stormy relation

ell in Belgrade and the men in the
Kremlin? Was Tito about to aban-
don his wheeling communism
and reaffiliate with the Soviet
world? Was Mr.. Khrushchev in

unanswered.

Time Out on Suez

able any time anyone with a plan
would like to talk it over. But
beyond that he ventured not.
But there were busy hours in
Cairo, apparently, for on Tuesday
came reports that the Nasser gov
eminent was seriously. considering
plan to have private American
oil, shipping and engineering firms
take over the operations and future
development of the Suez Canal.
Next day. the reports were in part
confirmed. 1t was revealed that DR..
Helmy Baghat Badawo, director
general of the Egyptian Suez Canal
Authority, had accompanied Foreign
Minister Fawzi and Col. Nassers
ace troubleshooter, Wing Comdr.
Ali Sabry, to the United States.
DR.. Badawo's job, it was disclosed,
was to talk with executives of Amer
lean shipping concerns and with
officials of the International Bank
for Reconstruction and Develop
ment.
The goal: A SIS billion private
investment in the Suez Canal for a
period of is years by consortium of
oil and shipping firms. In return for
the capital outlay. the private firms
would have large part in the OPP
Grafton of the canal and would share
in the waterways profits.
Although still in the talking stage,
the private-industry scheme could
very easily turn out to be the i'm
mediate solution to the impasse with
Egypt. If carefully organized and
presented, the plan might even
placate the British and French in
their insistence that the canal be
under an international" control not
subject to the unpredictable whims
of Col. NaSSer.

Around
The World

The British Labor Party's stormy
petrol, Aneurin Bevan, regained
place of power in the party's inner
councils last week. The vigorous,
outspoken Leftist leader was elected
party treasurer. His election re-
stored him to the party Executive
Committee, which he had left last
year in an unsuccessful bid against
Hugh Gaitskell for party leader
ship.
The fiery Welshman's triumphant
return to high party Office is ex-
pected to signal a move to the left
in party policies. "Nye" Bevan has
been the hero of the Labor rank
and-f1le, the Constituency Party"
within the Labor Party. In the
past. he has voiced sharply anti
United States views on foreign
policy subjects.

Two Statements

the President, in answer to q ques-
ton, said he thought it would be
foolish to stop testing hydrogen
bombs unless Russia can be made
to sign a foolproof pact agreeing
also to halt such tests.

here is what Mr.. Stevenson had
said on the matter:
