It is something of a shock to read
that the Defense Department apparently
issued its controversial directiveS restrict
ing Air Force installment buying without
any exact calculation of their effect on
the procurement program. And yet that
Is, in substance, what Assistant Secretary
Wilfred Mcneil, department controller,
told the Senate Military Appropriations
subcommittee.
TeStifying before the committee, Mr..
Mcneil said he had been told the direc-
tives might affect from ST billion to $3.5
billion worth Of contracts for modern
planes and missiles, but he added that
mo definitive analysis" has yet been
made. He acknowledged further that I'VE
really are in bad shape" if the restrictions
should interfere with procurement as
drastically as charged.
Mr.. Mcneil defends the orders as
aimed at keeping spending on Sound
business" basis. This is worthwhile
objective by itself and there is no doubt
that procurement practices should be kept
under scrutiny and control The prevail
ing consideration, however, should be the
estimated military needs for national
security. 1t is most disturbing II so-called
fiscal readjustments are being made with
out prior determination Of their impact
on building up the essential air power.

House, the Senate has approved bill to
back the policies with funds Of the Federal
employees life insurance program. It was
this program, enacted by Congress, which
ended the system of beneficial associa-
tions" under which Government workers
have been insured in the past
The Senate acted on the basis of
information that the relatively small
amount of guaranty money involved =
amounting initially to about $4,000
would not adversely affect the new in
surance fund. In voting to direct the
Civil Service Commission to use the Fed
eral insurance pool to validate the old
policies, the Senate was mindful of the
fact that Congress had promised, in
adopting the new insurance program,
that holders of the old policies would not
suffer any losses. The House joined in
this pledge, of course, and it should not
go back on its word now.

Blame Mr.. BroyhiI

Representative BrOyh1ll, IN letter
published in today'S Star, sets forth his
reply to our recent editorial denouncing
his attempt to pass the buck to the Civil
AeronauticS Authority should there be
another tragic accident at National Air
port. Nothing in the Broyhill letter
changes our belief that the responsibility
for such tragedy, If it materializes, will
rest on the shoulders of those, including
MI. Broyhill, who are blocking any seri-
Gus consideration of the airport problem.
It has been six years since the CAA
and the Secretary of Commerce first came
forward with the recommendation that
new airport be located at Burke-the best
available site. Yet Mr.. Broyhill has the
efrontery to charge that the dangerous
congestion at National Airport need never
have happened had the CAA assumed
Its responsibility to the public" It is not
CAA which has failed in its responsibility
to the public; it is Mr.. Broyhill, in
strange alliance with group of Maryland
politicians headed by Senator Butler.
We have no difficulty in comprehend
ing Senator Buffers motives. He wants
the people of Washington-andt the people
trict-to be compelled to use Friendship
Airport, near Baltimore, as their second
airport. Friendship needs, or has needed,
the business, and Senator Butler Is out
to get 1t. This, at least, is understandable
for he is doing what his Maryland constit-
uentS want him to do, and he is not con-
cerned with the wishes Of the people of
Northern Virginia.
1t Is not so easy, however, to under
stand Mr.. BroyhillS motives. All the evi-
dence that we are aware of indicates that
substantial majority Of the people in the
10th district favor the Burke site. Ger
tainly they do not favor Friendship. Yet
Mr.. Broyhill, who is not supposed to have
constituents in Maryland, seems deter
mined to force his Virginia constituents
to use Friendship, like it or not.
OF course, Mr.. Broyhill will deny that
he is trying to force his Virginia constit-
uents to accept Friendship. But we call
attention to this sentence in his letter.
ITO relieve the dangerous hazards at Ma
tional, GAIA has only to direct the COM
mercial airlineS to channel traffic into
Friendship pending the final solution of
the areas air terminal problem" Mr..
Broyhill knows, or should know, that once
the CAA orders the commercial airlines to
use Friendship, Friendship will become
the areas second airport. And there will
be no final solution" of the problem until
Friendship becomes overcrowded, and the
Washington traffic has to be moved out.
BY that time, we would not be greatly
surprised to see Mr.. Broyhill working with
Pennsylvania politicians to locate the new
airport in the Philadelphia area.
The Baltimore Sun was amply justi-
fed the other day when, taking editorial
note Of Mr.. Broyhill's endeavors, it COM
mented: Proponents of Friendship as an
outlet for Washington traffic can probably
afford to sit back and wait; the traffic
will come while Washington argues"

No tribute could be more fitting than
the one just accorded General OF the
Army George c. Marshall by the nations
that took part In the European Recovery

while he was Secretary of State, that he
inspired the Western world with his his
toric Harvard address Offering American
aid to enable our overseas friends to get
back on their feet again and save them
selves from Communist engulfment. There
then followed the great cooperative en-
terprise in which the peoples OF free

than four years, staged the most magnif-
cent comeback ever recorded come
back that shattered Stains dream OF
making the Kremlin master Of the entire
continent.
This enterprise, which has passed into
history bearing his name, was not the
work Of General Marshall alone, Of course.
What made 1t successful, aside from the
American peoples willingness to invest
their money in 1t, was splendid mixture
Of determination, energy and dedication
OF spirit and effort on the part of all
individuals and groups associated with
the program. But General Marshall's role
In 1t, the leadership he gave 1t, the drive
he put behind 1t, the fine human qualities
he personally injected into it, we're of
incalculable value. And 1t was for this
contribution, the contribution of a great
soldier-statesman that the representa-
tives OF the beneficiary nations honored
him here yesterday. The key words on
the medal presented to him, "Salus Euro
pae,"-Europes salvation-constitute
singularly appropriate memorial to the
man and his work.

that they will grow anywhere.

Perhaps this is what en-

Like dogs and cats. and many

This means that one must

den clubs come in, for they
supply it, along with the en-
thusiasm which one member
gives to another. and so on.
Where there is much shade,
there will not be so many
roses. but even here the little
low ones can be grown, along
with the trusty climbers on
fences and in odd corners.
There are some beautiful
yellow roses to grow on
porches and lattices.

are to do as well In these
districts as they did last year,
support of the Eisenhower
foreign policies and also the
Eisenhower domestic policies
may be important. Certainly
it will be important If the
Republicans hope to increase
their strength in these d.
tricts. The same thing is true
when it comes to the election
of a President in 1860.
One thing the G. o. p. lead
ers have been cheerful about
is the fact that President Eli
senhower has been able to cut
in sharply on the labor vote.
This vote has been strongly
and consistently Democratic
ever since the days of the big
depression and of the late
President Franklin D. Roose-
welt. Another cheering item
for the G. o. P. has been a
switch Of some of the Negro
vote-which in part is also a
labor vote-to the Republican
candidates, especially Eisen-
hover.
Mandate for Republicans
1t seems obvious. however,
that this support for Eisen-
hover in these two important
groups of voters will not be re-
flected in the 1858 and 1860
elections unless Republicans
in Congress do better for
Eisenhower and his program
than they have in the last
two Congresses. 1t also seems
clear that unless the Republi-
can Party picks a Republican
presidential candidate in 1860
who. like Eisenhower, has an
appeal for the workers and
the Negro vote, the Democrats
will benefit. Ever since the
late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt won his first major
victory in 1882 the Democrats
have leaned heavily on the
labor and Negro vote for vic
tory. They will seek the sup
port of these two groups in
1858 and 1860. James A. Far
ley. President Roosevelt's Dem
ocratic national chairman in
his first two elections to the
White House, has always con-
tended if the Democrats can
keep the labor and Negro vote
pretty solidly in line for their
candidates, they can win.
In the selection of their
presidential candidate three
years hence. undoubtedly the
Democrats will give considera-
ton to the support which
labor and the Negro voters
may give. For this reason, it
seems unlikely that the Demo-
Gratis will turn to the conserva-
tive wing of their party for a
candidate. They are far more
likely to go to a candidate
like Gov. Williams of Michigan.
Indeed, with the strong sup
port Williams may have from
organized labor he will be a
formidable candidate for the
presidential nomination. He is
expected to run for reelection
for a sixth term-next year.
Another potential Demo-
cratic nominee for President
is Gov. Meyner of New Jersey,
who might be more acceptable
to the Democrats of the South
than Williams. Meyner is con-
fronted by a hurdle which he
must leap this year. He is a
candidate for reelection in
New Jersey, Should he lose, he
will be out of the picture in
1860.
AS for the Republicans they
may have to decide whether
Nixon. Knowland, Dirksen or
some other potential candidate
has the greatest appeal to
these groups of voters.

A reader wants a column
about roses.
There are old roses, new
roses. bold roses and gentle
roses, roses that climb or
fences and little ones that
stay close to the earth they
love.
A rose by any other name
would be as sweet
OF course!
Roses are difficult to grow
and perhaps that is one thing
that makes them beloved Of
SO many people.
Our own personal history
makes the point.

Of our roses-and much Of our

the climbers. We still have

THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Eisenhower's Industrial Vote
BY GOULD [


President Eisenhower's
sweeping victory in 1856 was
materially aided by the vote
he received in the big indus
trial centers. How far, how
ever, this Eisenhower popu-
larity with the labor vote
spreads to the support Of other
Republican candidates, par
ticularly congressional candi-
dates, is another question.
According to a survey made
by Congressional Quarterly in
the So congressional districts
where labor is strongest, Eli
Senhower outran Adlai Steven
son by 1879, 400 votes. Further,
Eisenhower carried 20 Of these
congressional districts to %
for Stevenson. All of this hap
pened despite the efforts of the
leaders of the big AFL-CIO
unions in support of Steven
son. Seemingly, this would in
dictate that labor is moving
over to the G. o. P. But, as
pointed out by Congressional
Quarterly, while Eisenhower
increased his victory to 20 of
these congressional districts,
compared to II he carried in
1852, the Republican candi-
dates for the House were
elected in only II of these
strong labor districts to Al for
the Democrats. This is one less
than the Republicans carried
in 1852 although it is one more
than they carried in 1854.
Problem for Union Leaders
The vote in these congress
sional districts is particularly
interesting because so per cent
or more Of the employed per-
sons are laborers. foremen or
other kinds of blue collar
workers. The districts include
such labor centers as New
York. Chicago, Detroit, Pitts
burgh, Cleveland, Los Angeles,
Baltimore, Gary, Jersey City,
youngstown, Providence,
Wheeling and Montgomery.
The CO survey showed that
Eisenhower's share Of the vote
in these congressional districts
increased from As per cent
in 1852 to 81 per cent in 1856.
The 6 per cent gain in these
districts is considerably greater
than the 90 per cent gain for
the President in the vote of
the country as a whole. AS a
matter of fact the President
gained strength in all but
three Of the So districts. The
exceptions came in Detroit,
where Gov. G. Mennen Will
liams, a strong probability for
the Democratic presidential
nomination in 1860. and Walter
Reuther. head of the Auto
mobile Workers. are powerful
political figures, in Phila-
delphia and in Spartanburg,
S. c.
Eisenhower's popularity with
the labor voters has given the
AFL-CIO leaders something to
think about. Some of them
have come up with the follow
ing explanation - that the
tense Middle East situation
existing at the time of the
election explains the Presi-
dents gain in the industrial
centers, not Eisenhower's do
nestle policies. To support
their argument they point to
the fact that the Republican
candidates for Congress fell
far behind the President. Per-
haps the Republican members
of Congress. who have now to
vote on the Eisenhower pro-
gram. should take a look al
the results Of the Eisenhower
and congressional vote in these
industrial centers.
