wise cannot be interpreted as particu-
larry encouraging to the Republicans.
Mr.. Eisenhower won the State in 1856
by polling more than million votes.
The Republican senatorial candidate,
Thad Hutchinson, had predicted he would
win in a field Of 10 with about 100000
votes. Despite Endorsements from both
President Eisenhower and Vice President
Nixon, he barely got over the 100000
mark-respectable enough perhaps for
a Texas Republican but only a third
place showing in this case. In this con-
nection, however, 1t is possible that many
of the so-called conservative votes cast
for Representative Martin Dies, second
in the race, might otherwise have gone
to Mr.. Hutchinson.
Many changes in political sentiment
can occur in the next Is months, depend
ing upon world and domestic events. In
these first tests since last November, how
ever, the Democrats have their right to
feel encouraged.

A Certain Sense of Morality

The proposed constitutional amend
n1ent for determining and dealing with
disability of a President, as proposed
by Attorney General Brownell, is simple,
logical and workable The same thing
could be said, we are sure, about any
amendment on the subject that could
win approval of Congress and the States.
Mr.. Brownell explained why that is
true, in these words: ultimately the
operation of any constitutional arrange
ment depends on public opinion and upon
the public possessing a certain sense
of constitutional morality. In the absence
of this sense of constitutional morality
on the part Of the citizenry, there can
be no guarantee against usurpation or
coup d'etat. No mechanical or procedural
solution will provide complete answer
If one assumes hypothetical cases in
which most of the parties are rogues
and in which no popular sense of consti-
tutional propriety exists"
There could be, and there may be,
long wrangle over Qualification of the
Constitution on the question of Presi-
dents disability in an effort to close all
conceivable loopholes available to schem-
ing politicians. But we think Mr. Brow
nell is right. The greatest safeguard is
the public conscience.

BHIion-DoIIor Tao

Senator Byrd was not speaking APP
provingly, of course, when he reported
the other day that the Federal payroll
for January had passed the 81 billion
a month mark for the first time. Mr..
Byrd has been valiant and often effec-
tive fighter for greater economy In the
Federal Government. He has been con-
tending recently that one of the ways
to reduce the currently controversial
$7l.8 billion budget is to reduce the
number OF Federal employees.
But, perhaps unfortunately, attach
ing the 81 billion label to the Federal
establishment long ago began to lose
It's alarming aspect for the public at
large. AS far back as 1891, for example,
the 5lst Congress came under FIRE be-
cause In its two sessions 1t had considered
appropriation requests exceeding ST bill
lion. 1t was during the Republican ad-
ministration OF President Benjamin Har-
rison and 1t was Republican Speaker
Thomas B. Reed Of Maine who answered
the critics calmly by saying, This is
billion-dollar country" Presidents have
paraphrased that answer since.
All congratulations are suspect, in
GLIDING this one, but one fears the
billion-dollar tag is here to stay in one
way or another.
