criticism arose when Sherman

that ran the Government dur

that experience is cited by
those who want to spell out
in law just where authority
lies and how it is to be exer-
cised in case a President be-

Sherman Adams won his re-

The figures were approximate

Party Leaders Fear Local Candidate
Will Suffer if President Rules Out Tour

Republicans so far are
gambling twice this year, once
on the Presidents health and
again on a completely tele-
vised presidential campaign.
The first gamble is generally,
even happily, accepted by the
party. If any Republican has
reservations he is keeping very
quiet about them.
The second gamble came
under fire within hours after
the President candidly said
that because of his health he
would not whistle stop but
would restrict his own cam
paigning to TV. Republican
Senate Leader Knowland pro-
tested, Senator Goldwater

drawback of a wholly televised

party believe it does not suf-
f1ciently consider them. If any

1t is a Republican problem

problem under comparable cir
cumstances.
There is more to the COM
plants than loyalty to the con-
cept of party responsibility
which is symbolized in this
country by the fact that a
President is head both of the
Nation and his party.
The President speaks for the
national interest as it appears
both here and abroad. To that
end he repeatedly calls upon
members of Congress - with
special force to those of his
own party-to put the country
ahead of their local or regional
interests. Many do it too.
In turn they have always ex-
pected him to front for them
with the voters back home. It
hurts a Congressman to vote
against a local interest; it helps
to have the President point to
you with pride for helping your
country.

There is increased annoy
ance among Republican and
Democratic leaders in Con-
gress that at a time when a
crisis may set the whole Mid
die East ablaze Secretary of
State Dulles is once more
travelling far from his impor-
tant knitting in Washington.
The tendency of Mr.. Dulles
to establish a new kind of "di-
plomacy by air" may be in
keeping with 20th-century
progress. But many legisla-
tors who appreciate the seri-

prefer that Mr.. Dulles take

There is no question that
Mr.. Dulles deputy, Herbert

But he does not enjoy the
same prestige as his chief with
White House advisers who
stick their fingers more deeply
into the diplomatic pie when

insofar as we are concerned,
is deteriorating alarmingly.

In that respect he recalls
Harry Truman whom Sher-

reasons why there is little

A new wave of hysteria has
cropped up in the United
States Senate, giving further
evidence of the intolerance OF
the so-called liberal" of to-
day. It's another case of try
ing to cenSure or punish a
Senator for his views because
they do not conform to those
of other Senators.
Thus, when Senator East
land, Democrat of Mississippi,
was in line to be chosen chair
man of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, protests came from
Senators of the so-called Glib
eral" group. They insisted
that he be deprived of the
craftsmanship. One Senator
significantly let it be known
that he wasn't raising any
question about the eligibility
of the Mississippi Senator to
retain his seat. Was this a
yelled warning that the time
may come in the not-far-dis-
tant future when Senator
may be removed from the
Senate rolls because his views
are unpalatable to majority?
Senator Eastland has fallen
from grace in the eyes of his
critics because he ventured to
make some adverse comments
about the Supreme Court in
connection with it's decision
in the segregation cases. He
might not have been elected
chairman of the Judiciary
Committee a few days ago ex-
cept for the seniority" system,
whereby the Senator with the
ranking position, due to length
of service, succeeds to the

if he desires it. One Eastern
newspaper on the liberal" side
says editorially, with respect
to Mr.. Eastland, that he should
have been disqualified from
getting the chairmanSh:p be-
cause ''he is therefore placed
in a position of power over
appointments to the Federal
courts" The same newspaper
in the past has been in the
