Yesterday. Pentagon officials
were saying that the United States

the Vests defense effort occasioned
by the reduction in the British con-
tribution. But there was no effort
to conceal the chagrin with which
the military men viewed the British
attitude toward defense against
atomic attack. There are, they en-
phasized. mighty efforts going for
ward every day to devise methods
Of defense against the nuclear hor-
ror. Therefore. they asked. why

Almost in answer to the British

The House Efforts

The request from the White
House for the Labor Department
and the Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare amounted to
$29 billion. When the House finally
passed the bill on Thursday, it was
$133 million. or as per cent, under
President Eisenhower's estimates.
But before passage, the measure
had been subjected to a dizzying,
see-saw game Of cutting and re-
storing. 1t went this way:
AS reported out by the commit
tee. the bill carried S1l8 million
less than the President had re-
quested. The House, in a Com
mittee OF the Whole House and
without record vote, proceeded to
knock of another $685. million.
Some Of these reductions struck
at the heart Of politically potent
projects-those direct services in
which any cutback is felt sharply
and Immediately by the voters. For
instance, $50 million was eliminated
from funds for grants to commu-
mites for sewage-disposal facilities.
This was a program which had
been authorized by Congress and
was backed by leaders Of both
parties. Already more than 900
applications by cities and counties
had been approved. at least one
in each Of the 435 congressional
districts.
The news that money for these
projects had been denied brought
overnight a wave Of protests from
local organizations and oficials In
dozens Of districts.
The House decided to take an
other look at this action and at
other cuts In politically important
items-such as $136, 900 from a vet
Grams employment program, Sl.3
million from the Food and Drug
Administration and SIS million
from the ONCE of Education. When
a stand-up-and-be-counted vote
was required, the $50 million for
water pollution control was restored
and SO million was returned to the
other sensitive items.
Result: Sl5.6 million, not $685.
million. added to the committees
reductions.
Actually, much Of the money cut
from this and previous appropria-
tons measures was from estab-
lished programs. and unless the
Houses very conservative estimates
Of needs are correct, will have to
be replaced later in the form OF
supplementary appropriations.

The Postal Crisis

While 1t was whiting away at
the fiscal 1858 budget. the House
had to deal with an urgent call for
q supplemental appropriation.
Postmaster General Arthur Sum-
merfield notified Congress that I'M
less his department could get SAT
million to tide 1t over until July /,
he would be forced to stretch out
his remaining funds by curtailing
postal service. starting yesterday.
Among the possible curtailments,
he warned. would be the closing Of
all post Office windows on Satur-
days, one-a-day deliveries to
businesses and no deliveries on Sat-
urdays.
Chairman Clarence Cannon of
the House Appropriations Commit
tee charged that Mr.. Summerfleld
had violated the law by spending
the money that had been given
him too fast. Representative j.
Vaughan Gary Of Virginia, head of
the subcommittee that handles
postal funds. suggested, in effect,
that Mr.. Summerfield be allowed
to stew in his own juice, adding
darkly that it was UP to the Post
Office Department as to how far
1t would go in curtailing mail serv-
ice to citizens.
The House-especially its Demo-
cratic members - would obviously
have liked to let Mr.. Summerfleld
carry the burden of the blame for
any showdown in services. But
that. OF course, would not be easy.
Reluctantly its Appropriation Com
mittee agreed on Friday. less than
IL hours before Mr.. Summerheld's
deadline, to inform him that ne
could count on SIT million def
nitely. There was the implication
that this was contingent on con-
tinued normal mail deliveries yes
terday. The committee said II
would decide next Friday whether
to grant the additional $50 million
which was requested.
Mr.. Summerfleld accepted the
half OF an olive branch and indi-
Gated that he, too. would have a
decision to make next Friday: He
put OH the threatened curtailment
until next Saturday.

The Presidency:
The Worst Rot

Ever since President Eisenhower's
heart attack Is months ago. fol-
lowed by a three-month period
during which he was disabled, much
has been said and written about
the Constitutions ambiguity on
the subject Of presidential success
sion in case Of disability.
A House subcommittee has been
working internationally on a solu-
ton. The administration was asked
for its view Of the matter, which
was given by Attorney General
Herbert Brownell. jr. The White
House offered its Suggestion"
which came directly from the Pres
ident.
In the meantime, the President
had contracted a weeks-long cold
and cough that he has yet to shake
completely.
Somewhere, somebody suggested
that Mr.. Eisenhower. If he really
was sick. might prevent the posi-
bility OF major confusion-in the
event he again became disabled
by resigning and turning the presi-
dency over to Vice President
Richard Nixon.
The idea became a rumor and
a few days ago a Cleveland editor
told a large audience that he be-
lieved such a plan was in the wind.
1t took Mr.. Eisenhower himself
to put the rumor to bed. At his
press conference, he was asked:
What do you think OF these re-
ports?"
With some pique. he answered:
well, ! think that is the worst rot
that I have heard since I have
been in this Office"

Hammarskjold. Israel. the reports
indicate, would not be invited.
The bitterness of the Israeli re-
action to developments since Jewish
troops reluctantly departed from
the GAIA Strip deepened as Egypt
held firm on conqueror's terms. In
the Israeli view. the United States
and the U. N. had yielded to Col.
Nasser all the important bargaining
advantages they once possessed. And
the 1sraelis do not expect the Egyp-
tan dictator to yield to entreaties.
But American sources consider the
Egyptian bargaining position to be
something less than impregnable.
Col. Nasser. 1t is said, needs cash
Immediately to put the Suez Canal
in full operation. Further, it is
pointed out, the Egyptian economy
did not come through the invasion
unscathed. while Egyptian funds
and credits abroad are still blocked
and unavailable.

Of the $33 million its subcommittee
traced into the 1856 campaigns
how 1t was raised and how 1t was
spent.
The report was to be the basis
Of legislation designed to prevent
money from talking so loudly in a
campaign. Ideally. it would have
resulted eventually in making polit-
ical candidacy more readily avail
able to men Of modest means. It
was given wide play in the press.
But 1t had not been accepted on
its face by everyone. For one, Sem
ator Andrew Schoeppel Of Kansas,
chairman Of the G. o. p. Senate
Campaign Committee, had some
reservations.
For two months he studied the
report and then he came up with
charges that 1t was inaccurate and
misleading. His biggest complaint
was that 1t tried to document an
old Democratic charge-that the
@. o. P. was the party Of the fat
cats" while the Democratic Party
was the party Of the people"
He seemed to have a case. For
instance, he pointed out that the
reports compilation of contribu-
tons by the Delaware Du Points did
not include Du Pont gifts to the
Democrats which were elsewhere in
the report on the lists of $500-plus
contributions. In the list of 1886
contributions of IL selected fami-
lies" no Rockefeller is shown to
have given to any Democrat. But
Senator Schoeppel found Rockefel-
lerS listed on other pages who had
been generous to the Democratic
cause.
The Senator also was able to
locate oil company and airline COM
pany officials whose contributions
had been noted in the miscellaneous
$500-pluS list, but had not been
included in the lists of contributions
by officials of leading airline and of
leading oil companies. Invariably.
the omitted contributions were to
democrats.
Senator Schoeppel found several
dozen similar omissions in the re-
port-enough to require % pages
of the Congressional Record to
document.
The Democrats answer was
brief, and at times sounded apollo
getic. 1t was given on Monday by
Senator Mike Mansfield of Mon
tana, who said that there had been
no intent to mislead, and that any
reprinting OF the report would
show corrections. But for all prac-
tical purposes, the report was rem
dered almost worthless as a basis
for legislation by Senator Schoep-
pels charges. There was general
agreement at the Capitol that few,
If any, Republican votes could be
gotten for any measure based on it.

the group will seek a Federal court
injunction against such action.
In Informally approving the SIT
million for the postal emergency,
the committee interrupted consid--
Grafton of the appropriations bin
for the Commerce Department,
which reached the House later in
the day Friday minus $217,827. $40
Of the $871.5l3.000 Mr.. Eisenhower
had requested. This represented q
tentative Is per cent cut in commit
tee-the heaviest yet-and If rati-
fed by the House would be $50
million below the funds the depart
ment is spending this year.
AS II to underscore the difficulty
involved In budget cutting, Treas
ury Secretary George Humphrey,
who has repeatedly said that the
$71.8 billion figure could be re-
duced. asked the Senate to restore
$8,205.0 the House had eliminated
from his departments budget.

The Beck Case.
No Million

TeamSterS President Dave Beck,
who until very recently has been
accustomed to having his own way
about things, last week could prob
ably have appreciated the wisdom
Of the man who said: Nobody
loves you when you're down and
out"
There was no doubt that Mr.. Beck
was down. Whether he was out,
only time would tell. Man-on-the-
truck surveys among his followers
by reporters over the country in
dicated that for every defender
there was score Of critics.
The growing disaffection among
the rank and file of Transfers was
evident. as big locals in Portland,
Ore; Cincinnati. La Sale, III; Los
Angeles. San Francisco and New
York demanded his resignation, an
nounced opposition to any new
assessment he might levy for his
defense. or otherwise expressed dis
approval Of Teamster leadership.
His own general executive board
also indicated some very serious
reservations about Mr.. Beck's
leadership.
Mr.. Beck called the executive
board to a meeting Tuesday to
dress down John English. secretary
treasurer. who had said he was
opposed to Mr.. Beck's proposal
that the union spend a million
dollars on publicity in an attempt
to tell the Beck version" of the
Transfers story.
The board stayed In session all
day here. But when it was over.
there was no sign that Mr.. English
had been censured by anyone other
than Mr. Beck. and there was no
more talk of a million-dollar pub
licity fund. Instead the board de-
cided to spend reasonable"
amount to fight "anti-labor legis-
lation."
The board fight against Mr.. Beck
was reported to have been led by
Mr.. English and Vice Presidents
James r. Hoffa and William Lee.
The latter. along with Mr.. English,
has been prominently mentioned as
a likely successor to Mr.. Beck, when
the washday being held under a
Senate committees auspices is over.
Meanwhile, there were some sug-
gestions as TO the future course of
the now-recessed select committee
headed by John Mcclellan OF Ar
kansas. Senator Mcclellan told
television panel that the committee
is not through with Mr.. Beck. And
In New York. committee counsel
Robert F. Kennedy indicated that
management will soon be called TO
account. He complained that often,
management would rather have
the status quo and make a payoff."

The Death

on Internal Security, as a former
Communist.

a bitter reaction in Canada. In

Minister for External Affairs Lester
B. Pearson, and the leaders Of the
parliamentary opposition Joined in
sharp criticism of the Senate sub
committees action. Mr.. Pearson
ascribed the death to nervous
collapse brought on by overwork,
overstrain and a feeling of re-
newed persecution"
The identification of Mr.. Norman
as a one-time member of a Com
munist student group actually dated
back to 1851, when a witness linked
him with Red unit in Massa-
chusetts existing in 1888. But the
Canadian government. after lengthy
and detailed investigations. had af-
firmed complete faith in the diplo-
mats loyalty.
Mr.. Norman's name and the old
charges were again brought into the
public prints when the Senate group
released testimony taken in execu-
tive session early in March. At that
time. Mr.. Pearson formally pro-
tested to the State Department
against the republication of the
charges.

Foreign Policy:
Squeeze Play?

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles. besides contending with the
problems of international affairs.
has also to contend with the adj
miration of his friends. Sometimes
his friends seem to give him more
troubles than the problems.
Last year, a friendly correspond
ent in Life magazine aScribed to
Mr.. Dulles mastery of the art of
"brinkmanship"-the ability to go
to the verge of war without turn-
bling over the precipice. A few
weeks ago, c. D. jackson, former
aide to President Eisenhower on cold
war planning and a senior editor of
Ilme-Life. was quoted as saying in
Toronto that the Dulles decision to
withhold American aid for the As
wan Dam in Egypt was deliberately
designed to force a showdown with
the Soviet Union. (Mr. jackson
later told a Senate committee he
had been misquoted.)
And last week, in the admirinr
biography. John Foster Dulles"
Ilme-Life reporter John Robinson
Beal wrote that Mr.. Dulles had
courageously taken truly major
gambit in the cold war" by Eek
posing the shallow character of
Russia's foreign economic preten-
sions" when he abruptly Cancelled
American offers of financial aid in
the Nile dam project.
The gambit on Aswan, according
to the biographer's account, had
provoked Col. Nasser to nationalize
the Suez Canal the following week
(July &c, 1866 and had thus pre-
cipltated the subsequent Israeli
British-French invasion of Egypt.
In addition. Mr.. Beal reported
that the President, in personal let
tiers to Chang Kai-shek. had
pledged American military defense

although only since the develop I
ment of the tranquilizing drugs
has this form Of therapy gained
wide usage. Previously the most
widely used drugs for this pur..
pose were the barbiturates and
bromides. which are actually de-
pressants and not ideal. The dif-
ficulty is they tend to keep the
patient in a profound state OF
sedation that often renders him
helpless.
The tranquilizers. on the other
hand, tend to lessen fears and
anxietics that bother the patient,
bringing him to a more calm
state. without clouding the con-
sciousness. The patient in this
state is far more receptive to
other therapy necessary for ef-
fecting a cure. Medical science,
however, still has a lot to learn
about tranquilizers-exactly how
they work and on what part Of
the brain.
The tranquilizing drugs have
fallen into two widely accepted
classifications: y those more ef-
fective in major psychiatric dis
orders for which the patient is
usually institutionalized, and p
those useful mainly in neuroses
and minor functional disturban-
ces, such as everyday tensions
and anxieties. The latter are
treated by a physician or psy-
chiatrist while the patient con-
tinues his normal activities.

versatile tranquilizer, was recent

dren, surgical shock, nausea and
vomiting, heart disease. high
blood pressure, among other con-
ditions.
Your doctor or psychiatrist
can determine by careful exam
ination whether you should be
taking a tranquilizer. Your prob
lem may best be remedied by
other types Of therapy.
