cherished him as their most
valuable advocate of bipartisan
foreign policy. but in the
chanceries of the world, where
1t was known that virtually a
word from him had been suf-
flcient to set in motion the
events leading to the Summit
conference at Geneva.
1t was a quality that served
him well in his last official as
signment as President EiSen-
hower's personal representative
to the NATO Council in Paris.
A Senator's Senator
When on May 9, 1856. the
Georgia statesman, bowling to
political inevitabilities at home.
announced his retirement after
"a years Of service. a Southern
colleague gave the perfect &C.
colade.
"A Senator's Senator" SEN
ator Gore. Democrat Of Ten
nessee. called him.
To watch Senator Georges
stately progress through the
halls of the Capitol was to un-
derstand something Of this
quality. Doors always opened
at his approach. He held out
his hat; hands reached out to
take it. If none appeared, he
would put the hat back on his
smoothly brushed gray head.
AshtrayS materialized for his
ever-present cigarette or cigar.
In the cloakroom, he held
court. the younger members
clustering around him for. ad-
vice or the soft-spoken equiva-
lent Of a pat on the head. Upon
his entrance into the chamber,
the Majority Leader. Lyndon
johnson of Texas. as a matter
Of routine leaned over to the
George seat in the first row to
give an account of what was
going on and coming up.
On those other rare occa-
sions when he rose to speak,
that normally restless chamber
was still.
One day, when he was well
launched. two unwary members
entered late. chatting. Senator
George, totally unaccustomed,
turned ever so slightly and
fixed his gaze on the pair. They
fell silent and separated like
naughty schoolboys.
Eloquent In Senate
He could be knowingly elo-
quent. In the discussion OF the
United Nations Security Char
ter. he said: Our best men
have died on the earth. The
blue waters have swallowed
them up. From the flaming
skies. they have gone down to
death-to win this war and to
make possible a better world
for another generation of
Americans. I am sure every
member Of the United States
Senate means to keep that
promise"
These were the words of a
man whose younger son, q
flyer, had died in. the war.
In the first session of the
Saith Congress. Senator Georges
mighty influence reached its
peak. Dean Of the Senate in
point of service Che was first
elected in 1929. he also was its
president pro te1npore. He was
chairman of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee and ranking
Democratic member Of the FL
nance Committee. The two
chief issues of that session

were our standing in a world of
nuclear weapons and cold wars
and a tax cut at home. On
both. George Of Georgia pre-
vailed.
Under his leadership. the
threat Of a split over our Asia
policy. particularly with refer
ence to the defense Of Formosa,
was averted. A House-approved
tax cut, once the Senator made
known his disapproval. was
turned back.
On these matters critical to
the administration, no one on
the Eisenhower team" made
the mistake Of taking Senator
Georges crucial support for
granted. Once a week Secretary
of State Dulles called at the
Senator's Mayflower apartment
to pay his respects and outline
the official thinking on foreign
policy.
His achievements were &C
complished without any display
of that folksy friendliness that
many politicians consider their
most valuable weapon.
Miss Lucy" Senator Georges
sprightly wife. who married
him in 1903. once told report
ers: Il always call him Mr..
George no matter how sweet I
feel, or how mean"
Taking their cue from his
own lofty department. his COL
leagues refrained from ever
slapping him on the back.
BY 1855, even the more ad-
vanced liberals of his party had
long since forgiven him for the
fiscal conservatism he always
practiced-a result. critics said,
Of a too close alliance with
Georgia business interests. Even
the outspoken Senator Morse.
Democrat Of Oregon, had
nothing but praise for the
venerable gentleman from
Georgia.
Held Traditional Views
Moderate In all things, Sena-
tor George always shared the
traditional Southern views on
States rights and civil rights.
Gle signed the Southern
manifesto" Of 1856. a pledge
against augmentation of the
Supreme Court decision on in
tegration in the Schools.) At
the outset of his senatorial
career he opposed United States
in the League of
Nations and foreign loans. His
conversion to internationalism
was gradual. An advocate of
Lend-Lease. he was. in l94l, in
favor Of the fertilization of the
western hemisphere. AS late as
August Of the same year, he
foresaw no danger of a.
Japanese attack on the Phil
ippines. In l94l. he gave up the
Craftsmanship of the Foreign
Relations Committee to lead
the Finance Committee.
Senators Heap Praise on Him
But in 1855, he took the reins
Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee and at that critical
time proved to be the most
powerful and effective ally the
Eisenhower administration
could possibly have had in the
field Of bipartisan foreign
policy.
That was his great year. On

George Victorious
Some days later, Senator
George, who called the Roose-
welt invasion "a second march
through Georgia." made an
emotional answer to the Roose-
welt charge that he was the
pawn of big business.
Senator George roundly de-
feated the President. The elder
Talmadge was routed. and Mr..
Camp was never heard from
again.
The Presidents pious hope
that he and the Senator might
always be friends was realized
to the extent that Senator
George in subsequent years
never opposed F.. D. r. out Of
spite. There was, however. an
ironic footnote to the story

might have become chairman

preferring to exercise his peer

through leadership of the
Finance Committee.
Sons Death Influenced Him
In 1943, Marcus. the younger
of his two sons, a Navy flyer
was lost in the Atlantic. The
tragedy played a large part in
turning Senator George into an
internationalist.
Politically, through the years,
Senator George was secure. His
relations with President Harry
Truman were a trif1e cool. In
l948. the Senator dryly said he
didn't think Truman is the
answer to this countly's prayer
for leadership" They differed,
Of course, on civil rights. and
Mr.. Truman, moreover. was on
the record as saying: George

What Assem- JOrdanOff, pioneer

Is a pneumatic cushion which

The Jordanoff cushion, which

The cushion is a rubberized
