When Gov. knight with
drew from the race for Gov
ernor OF California, giving
Senator William T. Knowland
q clear field for the Republic
can gubernatorial nominal
ton. he simplified things in
Washington as well as In
California for the minority
leader Of the Senate. Gov.
knight made IL far easier for
Senator Knowland TO retain
the q. o. p. leadership Of the
Senate in the coming Con-
gress. And In the session Of
Congress coming up Mr..
Knowland really will be need
ed. With knight out Of the
gubernatorial contest, the
Senator's campaign for the
nomination will not require
anywhere near as much Of
his time stamping the State.
So all question Of Senator
Knowland's being able TO re-
tain the Republican leader
ship Of the upper house until
the close Of the session is now
out of the window. This is q
happy thing for the Eisen-
hover administration. For
the Californian has been a
strong and efiicient leader of
his party's forces. In the ses-
sion beginning January many
vital parts Of the Eisenhower
program for national defense.
for foreign policy and for
domestic economy win be up
for action.
The Democrats will have 50
members Of the Senate to 46
for the Republicans. Obvi-
ously, to obtain favorable ac-
ton on legislation and appro-
priations contained in the
Eisenhower program. Know
land must have some favor
able Democratic votes.
Assumed Taft TOga
Since the late Senator Taft
Of Ohio met his fatal illness
some four years ago. Senator
Knowland, selected by Taft
to take over for him. has
been his party's leader. He
has been responsible for
much Of the success the
President has had in the
Senate, although on q few
issues Knowland did not see
eye TO eye with the admins
tration. But take 1t by and
large, the California Senator
has been q strong supporter
Of the President and his
policies.
The Democrats. mindful OF
the election in November
1858. and their desire TO in
crease their majorities in
both House and Senate in
preparation for their drive
. for the presidency two years
later. will seek and probably
obtain more solidarity in the
Senate than has been EVIL
denced in the past. Judging
from their increased attacks
on President Eisenhower and
his administration, the Dem
ocrats will seek every oppor-
tunity to make political hay.
Knowland, with his expert
ence and the confidence Of
his Republican colleagues in
the Senate can do a better

He stated that Chairman
Johnston South Carolinal
of the Senate Civil Service
Committee feels that q more

Of civil service retirement
funds could bring greater

ployes.
Senator Johnston had Just
returned from Mexico where
he learned that their govern

board In real estate and other
ventures that bring an 8 per

siderately made.

Quoted from each pay check

so far. all retirees' annuities
have been paid out OF money
in the retirement fund to
which we ourselves have con-
tributed. While the United
States Government is liable
To contribute its portion. 1t
so far has not been required
TO do so and so it has cost
the Government nothing UP

So We are not pensioners
on Government bounty. Due
to the increased cost Of liv-

fair to pass some legislation
to increase retiree benefits
by investment Of our funds
or otherwise.

Many retired Federal
workers are obliged to sup
plement their pensions II
they can find an employer
who will hire them. I do not
believe that q person who has
given the best years Of his
life in the services Of the
Government should be re-
Quired to look for other en-
ployment when he retires.
The first thing the coming
session OF Congress should
do is act on legislation bene-
fitting the retiree Of the
Federal Government. There
is suiflcient money in the re-
tirement fund TO take care
Of an increase in pensions.

E.. A. Smith. In reply TO
my statement that Washing
ton has not had q better
chief Of police than Robert
v. Murray in the past 40
years, suggests that ! may
have forgotten about Mai.
Harvey G.. Callahan. Such Is
not the case. Harvey Gala
han and I were good friends.
We were closely associated
In police work for many
years. I knew him more In
timately than any chief un-
der whom / served. from
Raymond Pullman to Robert
Murray. ! not only liked
him very much from a per-
sonal point Of view but also
had a wholesome respect for
his ability as / watched him
advance through the grades
from private to major and
Superintendent Of Police. !
concur in the views expressed
by Mr.. Smith with regard to
Mai. Callahan.
OF course. there we're other
good chiefs besides Murray.
In addition TO Harvey @. CAL
lahan. there was Mai. Ernest
w. Brown. who served as
chief of police for many
years and was one Of the
most respected men to hold
that once. And let US not
forget Mai. Henry 9. Pratt,
who was martyred by the
press before he had been in
ONCE one year.
I did not say that Chief
Murray was the best. What
I said was that there was
none better, and that still
goes. I think that Chief
Murray has performed the
duties Of his once as well as
the best-and so much bet
ter than some.

Here Is q Man

In my childhood. I was
taught by my parents 10 hold
sacred God and our great
country America. I was
taught TO respect the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
and those in authority over
US.
But all Of our Presidents
have been criticized by those
jealous Of their power. or
those who seek to initiate
their ego by hearing Tn
sound OF their own voice.
Also, there are those parti-
sans who put party first and
the President second.
Since President Eisenhow-
er's recent illness. prayers
have been offered all over the
world for him and he has
been spared to continue on
with his work.
Gen. Eisenhower is a
statesman experienced in war
and in peace. He Is respected
by foreign powers. He is
honest, sincere, and a great
leader. One can truthfully
say. Here is a man."
In these critical times
nothing gives more comfort
to our enemies than senseless
criticisms by our own people
Of our President. We need
to appreciate all he has done
TO keep our country ct peace.
Then let US say. Thank you,
Mr.. President"
