statement continued.
Although the statement ap-
peared to show Mr.. Nixon in a
favorable light for 1860, it also
was clear that the committee
is reserving judgment on what

committee threw in this evil

The Committee for an Effec-
tive Congress sees signs that
the two major parties may be
reversing their roles, with
Democrats moving toward iso-
lation on foreign trade and
did. while the Eisenhower ad-
ministration is shifting in the
opposite direction.
The nonpartisan group.
which supports liberals in both
parties. issued a statement last
night, suggesting that Demo-
Gratis are showing an inclina-
ton to take short-range view
suitable for winning the 1858
congressional elections.
At the same time. they
pointed out that Vice President
Nixon, the Administrators
heir-apparent. is moving away
from his "main-street tradi-
tions" and is "wooing the Wall
Street internationalists."
See Political Reversals
The statement suggested that
today political necessity virtu-
ally has forced the short view
on the Democrat. while Vice
President Nixon is getting set
for the long pull. The commit
tee added. however. that the
Democrats know that IF events
OF sufficient magnitude take
place. they will favor the long
range planners"
Some Capitol Hill observers
believe the committee has over
simplified the present situation
in suggesting a switch Of party
lines. There are number Of
key Democrats, for example,
who will continue TO fight for a
liberal extension Of the Recip-
rocal Trade and Foreign Aid
laws, and some Republicans
who will remain cool toward
both types OF legislation.
The statement issued last
night was in the form Of a re-
port prepared for the advisory
board Of the committee.
