Leaders Trying to Get Rights Measure
Passed First, Then Construction Bill

Congressional Democratic
leaders have linked civil rights
and the school construction bill
in a desperate effort to get
these fratricidal issues behind
them before they are con-
fronted with another election
year. In 1858 all the House
and one-third of the Senate
again face the voters.
The leaders strategy is tos
keep the school bill n safe
distance behind the civil
rights measures IN both House
and Senate. The civil rights

able members for and against
to make their positions abso-
lutely plain TO their con-

hand have given assurances
that they will put the need for
school construction ahead of
segregation considerations if

bill would 90. Hill is a liberal
but not that liberal for reasons
that are self-evident. and his

Leader Lyndon johnson must

Eastland of Mississippi as its

issue. He says the issue there
fore cannot be evaded but
must be handled by the divided
Democrats. His plea is for re-
Straint on both sides so that
the party will be injured as
little as possible.
Johnson expects the House
to act in time to enable him
to make civil rights bill his
next big item OF business in
the Senate.
Civil rights advocates are
exploring another idea to cir
cumvent the Powell amend
ment. 1t is that the President
by administrative decision
could withhold all Federal
funds for education from
States whose schools are de-
flying the law of the land as
laid down by the Supreme
Court.
The Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare-Ma-
rion Folsom-was asked about
such a possibility in hearings
on his departmental appropri-
atoms. He indicated it might
be possible but retreated some
what when direct question
about segregated schools fol-
lowed. In a matter so impor-
tant. the decision would have
to be the Presidents anyway.

formation availa BILE to the
Chief Executive from all parts
of the world concerning Soviet
subversion and penetration in
free world countries.
The debate thus far in the
Senate by the critics of the
resolution has been a hodge,
podge of excuses and conflict
ing claims. Some Democrats
say the United Nations is being
bypaSsed and that America
should work more closely with
it, while others say America
should not place its reliance on
the U. N. One Democratic
Senator says the President al
ready has the authority he
requests, and another Demo-
cratic Senator says the Presi-
dent wants to use the armed
forces without regard to the
Constitution. One might infer
that he thinks the President is
right in asking for congress
sional authority. but other
Democratic Senators say that's
all wrong-that it's a power
frequently exercised before by
Presidents.
Most of these Democratic
senator's have no common
viewpoint except one-to block
and delay. They disclaim par
tisanship in foreign policy and
insist that only the Repub-
licans are partisan. But the
record shows that there is a
remarkable unanimity on the
Republican side of the Senate.
The "isolationist" comments
about "entangling alliances"
are nowadays coming from
ocratic Senators who
usually call themselves lib
eral." It's Just a tragic fight
against the administration by
its opponents.
The issue that may emerge
from all this is one the people
may nave to settle in the cleo
tionS of Move Der. 1858
whether. when they voted over
whelmingly for President Ell
senhower IN 1856 and gave the
Democrats control of the Sem
ate by a narrow margin. they
intended to vote for the chaos
of a divided government in
Washington and thus weaken
the hand of their leader and
spokesman before the world.

THOMAS L. STOKES
TdImodge Makes Maiden Speech.

Georgia Senator is subordi-
mating his antagonism to pub
lie school indignation and civil
rights legislation and putting
stress on anti-foreign aid
views.
This he disclosed by chooS-
ing the latter for his maiden
speech in the Senate and by
avoiding any dramatics thus
far on civil rights. When he
appeared several days ago be-
fore the Senate Constitutional
Rights Subcommittee TO testify
against the civil rights pro-
gram submitted by Attorney
General Herbert Brownell, he
undertook semihumorous
approach and attracted little
public notice. He refrained
from appearing at all before
the House judiciary Commit
tee to testify in its civil rights
hearings, but instead sent over
a statement Of his views for
insertion in the record.
But on the Eisenhower doc
trine he let out all the stops
in a typical demagogue-type
speech. an echo from his cam
paign in Georgia last fall. II
was sprinkled with such
flourishes as saying our money
"conceivably could go to pay
for palace Improvements or
the purchase OF new wives for
the royal harem." and con-
trasting king Saud's personal
establishment of 10000 wives,
concubines, slaves, royal re-
tainers and bodyguards and his
personal fleet of $50 air-con-
ditioned Cadillacs. some Of
which are gold-plated" with
the poverty of his as million
subjects who have "a per
capita income OF SAP" yearly.
In the young man from
Georgia, the President has a
potential trouble-maker where
In Senator George he had a
strong right arm. But. In the
end, the Democratic Party
may find him more OF llandi-
cap politically in its effort to
pursue an enlightened foreign
policy and to achieve some
advances in the field Of civil
rights.

A serious financial crisis in
Europe will require Uncle
Sans immediate attention,
assuming that the Egyptian
Israeli conflict can be tenn
porarily patched up. Among
the present victims of imitation
is Spain. where under the i'm
pact of popular discomfort
GeneraliSsimo Franco was
compelled to reShuffie his cabi-
net and remove a lavish
spend d r, Secretary General
Arrese of the Falange, from
his important job.
The Spanish head of state
had planned for some time to
reduce the Importance of the
F ala nge, the only political
party in Spain. He decided to
act now after promptings by
the restlessness of the indus
trial and white-collar workers
who because of the imitation
can no longer make ends meet
with their meag9 earnings.
Moreover, Spain had been
asking the United States for
$50 million in aid. Washington
limited very strongly that I'M
less Madrid cut spending dras-
tically and put its economic
house in order no aid would
be forthcoming. In this respect
there is a strong similarity be-
tween the economic crisis in
Turkey last year and now in
Spain. Both countries are vital
anchors to our military-politi-
cal d tense system in the
Mediterranean. Both countries
have been urged initially to
modernize their antiquated
agricultural and industrial
standards. And both countries
have been prodded to increase
and modernize their military
establishments to dovetail with
our NATO planning.
1t is true that Spain is not
officially a member of the
European military-political or
ganization. But in recent years

Georgion's Attack on Mideost Doctrine
Called Drive Against All Foreign Aid

and that OF Senator George,
who was one of the internal
tionalist leaders in the Sem
ate upon whom the Eisen-
hover administration h a d
relied so heavily while he was
in the Senate, as had the
Roosevelt and Truman adj
ministrations. The former
Georgia Senator and former
chairman OF the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee withdrew
from a contest for renomina-
ton in the face of almost cer-
tain defeat BY Herman Tai
madge. Now he is special adj
wiser to President Eisenhower
on foreign policy.
Herman Talmadge's political
power in Georgia was thus ex-
emplified. 1t seems TO reach in
other directions. At least a
change has come also in the
attitude of the veteran Sena-
tor Richard B. Russell of Geor-
gia who recently went all the
way to express his complete
establishment in foreign aid
and to say that ne felt George
Washington was right in his
warning in his Farewell Ad-
dress against foreign entangle-
mentS.
This was during examina-
ton in executive session Of
Secretary of State Dulles by
the combined Foreign Rela-
tions and Armed Services
Committees. Senator Russell,
chairman of the latter. SUISSE
quently voted in committee
against the Eisenhower Middle
East resolution, one Of eight
Democrats dissenting. In his
first speech in the Senate this
week, Senator Talmadge for
mally announced his intention
TO vote against the resolution.
The new Georgia Senator
made II obvious in his maiden
speech that he is ready to use
his oratorical talents TO join
and ride the rising clamor
against foreign economic and
military aid. He exhibits a new
sort Of isolationism that is
setting itself against the inter-
nationalism OF which both
Senators George and Russell
we're strong opponents in the
Senate for many years. For
the present at least, the .iew

real estate has become ex-
tremely valuable to our mill
tary planners. Congress has
appropriated less than half-a-
billion dollars over the last five
years in economic and military
aid to that country. All the
same. the Spanish budget
became encountered with a
greater military expenditure
for its modernized armed
forces.
Franco was first reluctant to
permit the building of Amer
lean naval and air bases on
Spanish territory. because he
was fearful lest an avalanche
of dollars" together with thou
sands Of dollar spending Amer
lean servicemen, might create
drastic increases in the cost of
living. But political consider
atoms and particularly Amer
ica's determination to resist
Communist Entertainments in
Western Europe prevailed, and
he opened up the gates of his
country to American naval and
air forces by creating impor-
tant air and naval bases, four
of which will be opened off,
