David Lawrence and Con-
stantine Brown. writing Feb
ruary 81 on the same general
subject, come to Numerically
opposite conclusions.
Mr.. Lawrence, discussing the
White House Conference with
congressional leaders of both
parties, finds substantial agree
ment with United States objec-
tives. There was" he writes.
"a unanimity of feeling and a
manifestation of the true spirit
of bipartisanship at the meet
ing which pleased both the
President and the Secretary of
State. as well as the members
of Congress"
Mr.. Brown, however, claims
that the Democrats and Re-
publicans are united in oppos-
ing the administrations for
eign policy. Those who have
watched developments closely
in the last few weeks" he
asserts. realize that there is
definite schism between
the legislative and executive
branches of Government He
further claims that this oppo-
sition on the part of Congress
is a manifestation of the atti-
tude of the people.
To prove his point, Mr..
Brown cites the number of tel
egrams received at the White
House following Senator
Knowland's statement on sane
tons. Although not saying it
in so many words, he implies
that these messages opposed
the administration policy. Yet.
unless he possesses X-ray eyes.
1t is difficult to see Just how
he could determine this. The
messages that I sent to the
President and the Secretary of
State were congratulatory
ones. There would seem to be
reasonable grounds for assum-
ing that a majority of the mes
sages may have been of this
nature.
AS President Eisenhower.
prior to the election. made his
position clear with respect to
the aggression of Israel and
her companions against Egypt.
and as he was reelected by an
overwhelming majority. 1t
would appear that the grass
roots" to which Mr.. Brown re-
fers have given resounding APP
proval to the President and
his policies.
Mr.. Lawrence may perhaps
be somewhat optimistic when
he says that, There is no divi-
sion in the ranks but a united
American viewpoint as to what
should be done on the Israeli
Egypt dispute" But he is far
nearer the truth, l think, than
the other columnist whose OBJ
vious bias against the Secre-
tary Of State distorts his vision
and enables him to see only
what he wishes to see.

THE POLITICAL MILL.

nomination three years ago by
Hartman. He later accepted
the nomination for Attorney
General and was beaten in the
election by Javits. his Repub-
lican pponent. Roosevelt
might prefer to have another
try for the gubernatorial NOM
nation. either next year or in
1862.
New Jersey is tough State
for the Democrats to carry. as
of today. 1t went overwhelm-
ingly for President Eisenhower
and added to the Republican
strength in the House delega-
ton last November. The DEM
ocrats will have trouble finding
a candidate with a real chance
of defeating Senator Smith.
Stage Set for Big Contests
With the announcement
Of the political plans Of Mey-
ner and Wagner, the stage has
largely been set for the main
political contests - speaking
from the point of view of ma
tional interest-in this politi-
cal "off year" The race for
Governor in New Jersey is one
of only two Rubernatorial con-
tests scheduled for this year.
The other is Virginia. where
the Republicans hope to make
a successful campaign, al
though the Democrats have
centered on one candidate.
avoiding a factional fight
which might have aided the
COP. The odds favor the
election of a Democratic Gov
ernor.
The contest for mayor of the
country's largest city always
arouses interest. A Demo-
cratic stronghold. New York
has been electing Demo-
cratic mayors for years. The
late Mayor LaGuardia. a fusion
candidate first. was an excep-
ton. Mayor Wagner looks to
be unbeatable, particularly as
he is expected to have the sup
port and nomination Of the
Liberal Party. Four years ago,
Wagner. in a three-way race
against Harold Riegelman,
Republican. and the late Ru-
Holph HALEY. Liberal. won by
361, 900 votes over the Republic
can candidate. with HALEY
trailing. A defeat for Wagner
next November. therefore,
would be a tremendous and
unexpected upset. The Re-
publicans. however, will CAM
paign vigorously. They have
promised to put good candi-
date in the field, and they will
do their best to hold down the
expected Democratic plurality.
The Republicans will pick
their candidate for Governor
OF New Jersey in an April pri-
mary election. The race for
the nomination lies between
State Senator Malcolm S.
Forbes and State Senator

1t is precisely on this latter
item he hurts.
His knowledge of music, as
such. is a joke. His under
standing of education is

the basis of human feeling,
however, he shoves in the

obnoxious mosquito which
does not happen to bear any
lethal germs.
The glorification. the exal-
tation. of this sad character
may do him good. in the long
run.
AS the shine wears off, and
he finds his new job nothing
extra, after all. he will come
to see that old friends are the
best friends.
Then he may feel that it
really adds nothing to life to
snub someone who has never
done him any harm, but has
only wished him well.
Snubs should be left for
those who treat you i'll.
This is so elemental. it
scarcely needs saying. except
that today most things seem
turned backward or are up
side down. or hind first. or
something.
Kindness, decency, deco
rum
These are regarded in some
quarters as fashioned. fud-
dyduddy stuff.
The tunes we used to love
are held in small esteem by
the opponents of the very
latest thing, no matter how
silly 1t is.
Everywhere the kindly per-
son is likely to meet the uni
versal sheer. bred of science
out of human despair and
lack of faith.
Perhaps the rebuffs of the

He needs something. some
how. to make him stern enough
to face the daily grind of the
rabble-rousing roughnecks.
A little apotheosis does it.

Frank and Direct Talks

There is little basis for either great
applause or criticism in the Joint state
ment issued by President Eisenhower and
Premier Mollet of France after their
meetings here. AS expected, they covered
the full range Of current affairs in Europe,
North Africa and the Middle East The
communique expressed understandable
satisfaction with the recent progress of
West European unity in agreement on the
atomic community and common market
plans. The vital Importance of NATO
was reaffirmed and, perhaps significantly
in the light OF moves to reduce NATO
ground forces. it was noted that "conven-
tional ornaments and modern weapons
should be maintained on the continent at
such levels as to discourage aggression.
Looking beyond the European stage,
the communique specified "full accord"
on the detectives of the French program
for development of overseas territories
to prepare them for democratic conduct
of their own affairs" although the only
reference to the troublesome Algerian
problem was that it had been reviewed.
1t stated common conviction" that
by peaceful means" but was positive in
reaffirming adherence to the principle
that the Suez Canal should be open for
transit without discrimination" and
that its operation should be insulated
from the politics of any country.
There was no suggestion of disagree
ment on any subject, or that strains
arising out of the Suez crisis were impair
ing present relations between the two
countries. Mr.. Mollet had told a Press
Club audience day earlier that both
governments were taking the position
that "the past is dead" and the friendly
tone Of the communique appeared to bear
this out. In their closing reference to
the frank and direct" talks, the Presi-
dent and the Prime Minister indicated
they had laid everything on the table
in itself healthy state of affairs between
two friends and allies.

The decisions of Gov. Robert
B. Meyner of New Jersey and
Mayor Robert F. Wagner of
New York this year to seek
reelection to their respective
offices eliminate, for the time
being as least two young and
popular Democrats as likely
candidates for the Senate in
1858. Both have said that If
reelected they will serve out
their four-year terms. The
Democrats of New Jersey. pre-
sumably, must find another
candidate to run for the Sen
ate seat now held by Repub-
lican Senator H. Alexander
Smith, an Office to which Gov.
Meyner might have aspired.
Meyner. however, frequently
has been mentioned as a po-
tential Democratic nominee in
1860 for President or Vice
President. The Democrats turn
to Governors of States for
their nominees for President
not, as a rule. to Senators. So
If Meyner seeks the presidency
his best bet is to run again for
Governor.
Mayor Wagner, who ran for
Senator last year and was de-
feated by Republican Senator
Jacob K. Javits, long has had
an ambition to follow in his
fathers footsteps and become
Senator. The late Senator
Wagner was a prominent figure
in days of the Roosevelt New
Deal" sponsoring several Of
the most important measures
proposed by the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt - par
ticularly the Wagner Labor
Relations Act. 1t has been be-
lieved in some quarters that
Mayor Wagner would seek a
second nomination for the
Senate next year, to run
against Senator Irving Ives,
Republican, who comes up for
reelection.
Republican leaders in New
York are urging that Mayor
Wagner now give a "guaran-
tee" that he will not. if re-
elected Mayor, toss his hat in
the ring for the Democratic
senatorial nomination. In
making his announcement
that he would seek a second
term as Mayor, Wagner in a
number of ways said he would
serve out the mayoralty term
if reelected. He even went so
far as to say he would not &C.
cept a draft for the Senate
nomination.
Problem for Democrats
1t is extremely doubtful the
Democrats will be able to find
as strong senatorial candidates
as either Meyner or Wagner
would have made next year in
their respective States. In New
York, Gov. Averell Hartman is
expected to seek reelection.
Whether young Franklin Del
ano Roosevelt - defeated in
1854 for Attorney General
when Hartman was elected
Governor-Will seek to make a
political comeback remains to
be seen. Senatorial and guber-
material nominations in New
York are made in party con-
vention-and Roosevelt was

Those OiI-Rich Arabs

One Of the more constructive Demo-
cratic statements on the Eisenhower
Middle East program has come from the
youthful Senator John Kennedy of Mas
SachusettS. Mr.. Kennedy is not enthuSi-
astic about the program. He is going to
vote for it, however. because he believes
the certain consequences of defeating it
would be far more harmful than any
conceivable consequences of adopting it,
Senator Kennedy also had a few
words for those who have been making
demagogic speeches about what shame
full thing it is to be pouring our taxpayers
money Into the Golfers of the oil-rich
Arab potentates." Actually, the coll
rich Arab countries of the Middle East
Saudi Arabia and Iraq-have received
total of $40 million in aid over the past
five years. This is what Senator Kennedy
had to say about it:
The total amount received by all eight
Arab states in approximately five years
has been only $73 million worth of eco
nomic and technical assistance land no
military grants to speak of. The bulk Of
our aid to the Middle East. with actual
economic assistance expenditures of S237
million has gone to Israel and practically
none at all has gone or is going to oil-rich
Arab potentates
But surely $73 million or 5000 million
or even $3.50 million is not an unprece-
dented sum with which to bolster the eco
nomic and political stability of an entire
area against the spread of Soviet imperial
ism. We have spent over So billion for this
purpose in Greece alone. roughly SIS
billion in Korea mot counting the war;,
and nearly 50 billion on Formosa and Free
China. The amount under debate for the
entire Middle East area is less than the
amount we spend for similar purposes each
year-moStly in economic adm either
Vietnam. Korea or Formosa alone
These are interesting statistics, and
they should help the public to maintain
some degree of perspective the next time
an anguished Senator begins to beat his
breast over this terrible business of
Showering American dollars on the oil
rich Arabs.

Every man has his price, so
goes the cynical old saying.
A modern amendment might
be phrased as follows:
Every man has the point in
his career when he begins to
act high-hat.
Templeton Jones. who some
times is the victim of this sort
of thing, ought to know.
He got a resounding slap in
the face recently from one of
these bright ones. who took
the occasion Of his elevation
to snub our old friend.
Friend Jones. as some call
him, spoke with his usual
cordially. after the great one
had been elevated.

The Big Shot refused to
speak to Jones.
He lifted his. nose a trifle
higher than usual. and pre-
tended he didn't see the bum
die of friendliness by his side.

temporary flush may have
gone across his expressive
puSs.

Civic Auditorium

DR.. Richard A. Kahn de-
plores the idea of using an
opera house for any purpose
other than opera, and cites
this unique usage in Europe
as one reason for his objec-
ton.
We do not believe that DR..
Kahn Is familiar with the ac-
tual plan Just presented by the
National Civic Auditorium
Commission to Congress and
to the President.
Using its full appropriation
from Congress to make an ex-
haustive study extending over
a years time. the commission
set up the most DISTINGUISHED
architectural and engineering
planning board to be obtained
in this country. A part of the
duties of this board was to
study all the auditoriums and
opera houses. not only in the
United States but also in Eu-
rope. The result embodied in
our plan for a national cul-
tural center combines not only
present needs but those of
our growing future and sep
arates the type of usage by
planning actually three units
to be a part of one great
building.
The three units under one
roof, to be tied together by
plazas. a wide gallery and
proper landscaping, will be,
first, a large auditorium to
answer official needs connected
with inaugurations and con-
claves (as directed by the con-
gressional bills setting up the
commission second. a smaller
auditorium to be used exclu-
sively by opera. concerts. and
cultural events including the
advancing art of television, to
be equipped with the largest
and most modern stage; and
third. an intimate hall fitted
for theater and lectures.
The City of Washington will
have the privilege of enjoying
this great center as it now en-
joys the National Gallery and
other great Government edi-
fees. But this cultural center
is planned for the entire Ma
ton. to be an outlet for every
cultural art and a lodestone
for every citizen. 1t is planned
not as a commercial building,
nor in any sense as a rival
to any auditorium in other
cities. There is nothing like it
in the Nations Capital and it
is being planned for useful
ness both to the Government
and to the individual citizen.
Two members of the COM
mission are musicians. Barnee
Breeskin and the writer; the
motion picture industry is
represented by Barney Bala-
ban; other members are ia
miliar with auditoriums as
public speakers. No member
confuses icecapades and cir
cuses with a building planned
by Congress as representative
of the art, music and official
ceremonies of the American
people.
