Democrats Rejection of Proposals

: President Eisenhower few

conference with congressional

Foreign Relations and House
and Senate Armed Services
and Appropriations-be in
vited with the leaders. The
original White House invita-
ton included only the chair
men and the ranking Repub-
leans of these committees
The result was to bring into
the conference the bitterest
critic of the Eisenhower
Middle East doctrine and of
Secretary Dulles. He is Sem
ator William Fulbright Of
Arkansas.
Fulbright got the Senate to
approve his resolution for a
full dress review Of Middle
East policy during the last
ten years, to begin after the
present Senate debate on the
Middle East. His indictments
of Dulles have been con-
sistently caustic.
The President also faced in
the conference on Israel two
other influential Senators
Byrd Of Virginia and Russell
of Georgia-who have made
clear their doubts about the
necessity and wisdom Of his
Middle East moves.

OF the Al on trial, only 29

The rest were in exile, mostly
in Lebanon. Seven Of the de-
PENDANTS were sentenced to death
January 90. but only one was in

repeatedly have demanded that
Lebanon hand over what Da-
mascus called "the runaway con-
spirators."
One Of the defendants is the
former President of Syria, Presi-
dent Abb Shishekly. now in
exile and probably living in

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Some Leaders Reported Concerned
Over u. S. Stand Toward Israel

At the insistence of Repub-
lican and Democratic leaders
in Congress. President Eisen-
hover, assisted by Secretary of
State Dulles. has discussed
with them freely and frankly
the tense international situa-
ton which confronts this
country in the Middle East
and more latently in the Far
East.
The executive and legisla-
tive branches of the Govern
ment have the same common
purpose: To keep the world
at peace and counterfeit Mos
cows schemes and intrigues.
1t was this purpose which led
EISENHOWER to ask congress
sional approval for his Middle
East doctrine. And after max
ing some changes in the reso-
luton, the Chief Executives
request will be granted in the
near future.
But the position taken by
the administration in regard
to Israel's insistence that its
ships have access to the Suez
Canal and the Gulf of Aqaba
and that Israel be given assur-
ances against Egyptian raids
from the GAIA Strip does not
meet with the approval of the
overwhelming majority of the
legislative branch.
Congress, which shares with
the Executive the RESPONSE
bility for foreign policies,
frowns on the obvious expe-
diency measures of the White
House and State Department
in the Egyptian Israeli crisis
which has been placed before
the public forum Of the United
Nations. Congress does not
accept the double standard"
policies Of the administration
which overlook the decisions of
Russia. India and Hungary to
defy the principles Of the char
ter while we demand that Is
rael accept them literally, re-
CARELESS Of the consequences
to that impoverished and hard
pressed nation.
Senators Knowland, Bridges,
johnson and Russell told the
President frankly that while
the State Department may find
1t expedient to employ the
double standard" policy. the
country wants no part Of it.
This is proven by the enormous
mail received by members Of
both houses from all parts Of
the country. insisting that the
same treatment should be APP
piled to recalcitrant Israel as
was applied to the USSR. Hun
gary. India and other members
Of the Communist or neutralist

Dilemma for u. S. Industry

quantity Of space that might
be bought because the adj
vertisers themselves face in
creased costs all along the line.
1t would be thought that in
the field Of electrical appli-
ances, SO necessary in modern
living. the story would be diff
ferent. But it isn't. Also, the
Radio Corporation of America,
with a variety OF television and
electronic products. showed
sales UP IL per cent last year
and total expenses up 80 per
cent. but profits after taxes
were down by 1873 per cent.
In the lumber and wood in
dustly. earnings. after costs
and taxes. per sales dollar have
gone from 8.6 cents in 1947 to
4.3 cents today. In furniture
for the same period. the earn
ings figure has come down
from ST cents to "a cents. In
fabricated metals, 1t has fallen
from 7 cents to SO cents. In
food. it is now 2.5 cents as
compared with 81 cents in
1947. Textile mills show a
drop from 7.3 cents to 3 cents.
Printing and publishing earn
ings have come down from SIS
cents to SO cents. Surveys Of
supermarkets show q rising
trend in costs and a shrinking
margin of profits after taxes.
There are a few industries
that show improvements, but
the bulk are on the minus side.
In all industries. small bust
ness has been proportionately
hurt even more by the rising
costs.
Yet, in spite Of these facts.
labor-union bosses feel they
must force the wage scales
upward and upward in order
to keep ambitious rivals from
driving them out Of ONCE. It's
a dilemma that. curiously
enough, Congress has shown a
strange reluctance to investi-
gate and expose. But until the
people get all the facts. they
cannot decide what the answer
is or what remedy must be
applied If a serious depression
is to be avoided.

out to the Chief Executive that

sequences to the Eisenhower
doctrine which is now UP for
discussion on the floor Of the
Senate.
Many Senators who were
determined to vote for 1t might
easily be influenced to do the
opposite If the administration
remains adamant In Its present
position regarding the uncon-
ditional withdrawal Of Israeli
forces from GAIA and the

DORIS FLEESON
President Meets Lawmakers

In rare amity. they have
joined with the party's lib
erals to make important sub
stantive changes in the Pres
ident's Middle East resolu-
ton. The President and Dulles
have had to accept the
changes in order to get the
resolution.
Under the circumstances. it
is not surprising that Secre-
tary Dulles customary self
assurance seemed badly dented
when he met the press this
week. But any gallant i'm
pulses he might have aroused
in the reporters were stifled
when he began by announcing
with unctuous regret the re-
tirement of his Assistant Sec
rotary for Public Affairs. a
former newspaperman. Carl
McCardle.
Many news leaks have been
blamed on McCardle, includ-
ing the Eisenhower doctrine
which was in the newspapers
before Congress was called into
a special session to be told
how urgent it was. Reporters
have Joined Senators In COM
planning Of the leaks. but they
know for sure that McCardle
leaked news only with Dulles
consent. If not at his order.
Now he is being sacrificed to
Dulles critics. It is. however,
another case Of too little and

Macarthur in 1851. The coun-
try, say these congressional
leaders, wants a definite stand
ard of morality in the conduct
of our foreign affairs, and APP
pears to reject the policy OF
expediency adopted by the ex-
ecutive branch toward the
handling of the Hungarians
by their puppet government,
backed by a quarter of a mil
lion Russian soldiers.
The legislators point out
that much of the mail pro-
testing the double standard"
applied by the U. N. with our
cooperation comes from areas
which in the past were not
particularly enthusiastic over
creation Of the Republic Of
Israel, in which the United
States played such an impor-
tant part. They maintain that
1t is not Israel. itself, which
prompts the present manifes-
tations, but the fear that by
sweeping under the rug the
wrongdoings of the large
countries and applying strictly
the U.N rules only to the
weak we may find ourselves
in serious trouble in the fore
Seeable future.
Congressional leaders who
in the past accepted the adj
ministration measures on for
eign policy matters which did
not have to be submitted to
ratification by the Senate or
did not require new appropria-
tons are taking within con-
stitutional limitations a hand
in the formulation of major
policies. They do not have the
power to veto anything the
Chief Executive may want to
do in the present Arab-Israeli
conflict. But they want to as
sert their constitutional lad
visory" prerogatives and are
talking very frankly to the
executive branch.
