Feuding Among Texas Democrats

The majority leaders own
estimate OF the situation back
home is that nobody can now
tell which Democrat will win.
Apparently the most cohesive
minority has the best chance
TO name the Sena tor. Each
faction presently has more
than one candidate.
Their rival ambitions have
prevented enactment Of a bill
requiring a run-off election be-
tween the two top candidates
if no candidate achieved a ma
jority over the combined oppo-
sition. The loyalists' leading
contender, Ralph Marlborough.
contended this was a conser-
vative plot aimed, not at the
Republicans but designed to
rob him Of victory.
One thing is certain. Politi-
clans can no longer scare the
babies in Texas with the threat
Of a Republican victory. The
big, rich Lone Star State each
year is making some sort of
stride in the direction Of a
two-party system. From now
on, it will unquestionably see
a lot of every candidate for
President on both tickets.

Mollet is reported to have
pointed out the very serious
consequences to the stability
of France if she should be
forced to move out Of Algeria.
He is said to have declared
forcefully that the turbulence
in Africa as well as in the
Middle East is nothing but the
result of a skillfully conceived
plan from the Kremlin, using
Nasser as its puppet.
Mollet repeated the theme
which he and former British
Prime Minister Eden pre-
sented last summer to Secre-
tary Dulles: That the Suez
Canal Co. was of far less i'm
portance to the free world
than the presence of Nasser
at the head of Egypt. The free
world spearheaded by the
United States processes to op-
pose Imperialism in any form.
Britain has relinquished volun-
tarily the bulk of her empire
in Asia. France has relin-
qnished after a struggle most
OF her holdings which had
reached a degree of develop
ment which justified their
being on their own. So has
Holland. But they all yielded
only after Washington ex-
ercised some real persuasion.
