underwent q gall bladder
operation. which has i'm

and he is In the process Of

face the popular youthful
Democratic Governor Muskie.
Senator Jenner Is the fifth
Republican to say he Is
leaving the Senate.
No Democrats Yet
So far. the retirement cpl
demic has not hit the DEM
ocratic side Of the Senate

influential and able members
OF the Senate on either side
Of the aisle-Senator Harry
Flood Byrd Of Virginia---has
not yet announced whether
he win run next year, but
the pressure for him tn do IN

Senator Byrd has been the
strongest advocate Of Gov
eminent economy on Capitol
Hill. He has stood for sane
and sound legislation always.
He would be greatly missed.
He is chairman of the FL
nance Committee. which
handles all tax legisla ton, q
member of the Armed Serv-
ices Committee. and chair
man OF both the Joint Com
mittee on Reduction of Nom
Essential Federal Expendi-

with State Senator, Senator
Byrd has been in public serv.

today he Is much sounder
than the proverbial dollar.
Whether the itch 10 retire

cratic Senators-12 Of them
are coming up for reelection
remains to be seen. Five Of
the 20 Republicans who
would figure in the elections
have said they will not run.
Some Of the Democrats are
saying the Republicans see
4 Oemocratlc trend in the
country, which has facili-
tated their decision not to
seek reelection. Certainly,
however. this is not true of
Senator Knowland. vho will
run for Governor and has
high hopes of winning. The
retirement of Senator Jen-
ner, added to the death Of
the late Senator Mccarthy
OF Wisconsin and the defeat
OF the late Senator welker of
Idaho. removes the core Of
the anti-Eisenhower group
on the Republican side in the
Senate.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

Templeton Jones appeared
to be staring at a wall.
II you had been right at
his elbow, you probably could
not have seen what he was
looking at.
He stared and stared.
The wall was one Of these
fne jobs done by italian
workmen who come down
through the centuries from
families which have special
lied in this work.
II you want a nice stone

descent, and they will pro-
vide you a very fine one.

The largest could not have

and the smallest was very

There were three Of them.
Jones could see that II he

through him.
1t was only his motion. as
he clambered over the rough

The smallest two were al
most white. and were more
easily seen than the big one.
The three were being
warmed by the morning sun

cided not TO seek re-elec-

ton been more surprised than
by the announcement Of Sen
ator william Z. Jenner OF In

Regardless of Party


Democratic and Republican leaders of
Congress may rightly be viewed as
another exercise In the kind Of biparti-
sanship that has long since become a
tradition in our American system-an
altogether wholesome tradition under
which virtually all Of US are agreed that
politicking must stop at the waters
edge In times Of International trouble or
crisis.
Certainly. because OF the current
state Of the world. and specifically be-
cause Of the nature Of the growing So
Wet threat, 1t Is Of prime importance to
our country that our two major parties
live up to that tradition by cooperating
as closely as possible on matters involv-
ing national defense and foreign policy.
That Is why periodic get-togethers like
the one today at the White House are
indispensable to the working out Of a
sound program Of action-a program d.
vorced from partisan considerations-to
reinvigorate the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization and tailor our own military
strength in way calculated to cope
effectively with the menace implicit In
the Kremlin's massive armed power.
including missiles.
As far as NATO is concerned. Adlai
Stevenson (present at today's meeting)
has already spent a good deal Of time
cooperating with Secretary Dulles as q
top Democratic conSultant on proposals
to be presented to the alliance at its
summit" conference in Paris two weeks
from now. President Eisenhower. despite
his latest illness, still hopes to take part
IN the proceedings. But whether he goes
over there or not, our American delega-
ton ought to have strong bipartisan
backing as 1t strives to fortify the At
lantic politically, econom-
ically, militarily and otherwiSe-with
projects aimed at sharing scientific
know-how. establishing common stock
piles Of nuclear weapons and preparing
numerous sites for the intermediate
range ballistic missiles which our coun-
try plans to have available in opera
tional quantities by the end Of next year.
Undertakings of this kind are OBJ
viouSly complex. and they lend them
selves to sharp debate at home and
our nuclear secrets, for example, there
may have to be some congressional
amendment of our present law. But BIZ
partisan meetings like today's, and CO.
operation OF the sort offered by Mr..
Stevenson. can do much to smooth the
way for whatever measures may be nee
essary. Similarly, the administration
and the Nation at large can draw con-
siderable encouragement from the fact
that the Advisory Council of the Demo-
cratic National Committee has placed
itself on record, In a recent pledge.
a. being ready to give "wholehearted
support to the President in any sound
action which he may propose to take
to strengthen our defenses and those
Of our allies"
This is the kind Of attitude that
every American should have now, re-
gardleSS of party. For one of the impera-
tives Of our situation, as former Presi-
dent Truman has Just written, is that
we and our allies must "all respond to
the crisis we face by acting once again
in unison and harmony" II we do that,
we can face the future with full con-
fidence.
