Other Maine sources declare
that Goldflne has kept only
one wooden mill in operation
out of four he bought within
the State. They note also
that Goldflne is not able to
claim even a speaking

Maine Senator, Margaret

The labor issue has been
raised against the Democrats
of Maine by extensive mailings
and an advertising campaign.
Just how it is being financed
and pushed has not clearly
appeared though some
observers believe they note
the hand of former Senator
Brewster. who has been shut
ting back and forth between
the State and Washington.
A local issue that may af-
feet the Maine temper is
President EiSenhower'S veto
of a bill to eoualize the wage
rates of the Boston and
Maine shipyards. Senator
Smith persuaded the Senate
to override that veto but the
House upheld the President.
The Navy has since ordered

practically everybody in the
Senate.
In the House, two leaders
with 80 years of past Con-
gressional service between
them have been drawn to-
gether more than ever before.
They are Speaker Sam Ray
burn of Texas for the Demo-
Gratis and Representative
Joseph w. Martin. jr., of
Massachusetts for the Re-
publicans.
1t has been the Senate,
however, which has most
typified this new kind Of
Congress. And the Senate has
reflected Johnson's policies of
moderation and what he calls
responsibility" BY respon-
sibility he means refusal even
to commit his party to oppo-
sition merely for opposition's
sake.
Whether all this has been
good depends largely on the
question: Good for whom? 1t
seems hardly debatable that
the immediate interests of
the country have been pro-
NOTED by a calm and con-
structive Congress.
1t seems hardly more de-
batable that the personal in
terests of Democratic Con-
gresSmen have been served.
For in two previous Congress
Sional elections during the
height of the power Of a
Republican President - in
1854 and in 1956-the same
johnson policies returned
Democratic majorities to
both Houses.
What is entirely debatable,
however, is the effect of the
johnson approach on the
presidential election in 1860.
Will the accommodating years
of this approach - which
mutes controversy and issue
making and always demands
simply action-well serve or
i'll serve the Democratic pres
idential nominee?

Surrender and 'Appeusement'

short despite the fact that
the Soviet Union became

our action. We accepted the
challenge in Korea but
failed to bring the war to its
logical conclusion despite the
fact that we continued at
that time to have nuclear
superiority. Timid souls in
Washington but especially
in London - discovered be-
latedly that If we applied all
our strength in Korea the
Russians would intervene
and we were told 1t would
have been a wrong war at a

There is a present frame
of mind among a number of
influential persons in this
country that since the Rus

between 1860 and 1862 our
foreign policies should be
directed toward a "construc-

recall the plea by the late

The able Connecticut legis-
lator made an impassioned
speech suggesting that we
offer the Russians long-term
assistance to the tune of $40
billion to $40 billion in order
to end the cold war. Other
wise, he warned, there is no
saying what may happen.
The very dome under which

that 61.5 per cent Of the

the Democratic primary re-

The two leading candidates

that they did not favor racial

The winner Of the primary,

The least partisan peace
time Congress in memory
and the most quietly produc-
tive in actual legislative
achievements-is drawing to
a close.
This, the 85th Congress,
has been undramatic, I'M
bitter-and in strictly head
line terms rather uninter-
esting. 1t has made no great
national issues. But at no
time has it divided the Ma
ton. It has operated with
almost none of the violent
debates that used to be COM
monplace.
Compromise, accommoda-
ton and private negotiations
among the leading figures in
both parties have largely re-
placed the old-time collisions
on the floors of both Houses.
1t is in this way that most
of the long and solid legisla-
tive record has been made.
This is the extraordinary
fact of this second and final
session of "the 85th": On
precisely two of two-Score
major issues have there been
strictly partisan fights. These
two issues have been farm
and labor legislation.
Such great matters as the
reciprocal trade (tariff cut
ting), foreign aid and space
age planning programs have
been handled comparatively
between the leaders and the
rank and file of both parties.
Thus, though this Congress
has been under Democratic
control, its work has not been
Democratic as such. Rather,
it has been simply Congress
sional-the product of a uni
fed institution rather than
of competing parties.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Liberty or Death Stand Is Obsolete
To Those Who Fear RISING Red Power

It was shocking to the I'M
initiated to learn that a
study had been made by pri-
vate organizations supported
by funds from the Pentagon
Of possible methods for the
United States to surrender
to an enemy in a nuclear
war in which the aggressor
has the jump on us.
Such a study supported by
taxpayers funds would have
been inconceivable in the
years before We and WI
days. Those who urged or in
spired it would have been
fired outright. But 1t must
be realized that appeasement
is gaining ground and APP
peasement is the first cousin
Of surrender.
A small but influential
and vociferous segment of
Americans has been urging
appeasement in different
forms for the last 10 years.
We are being told that Pat
rick Henry's "Give me liberty
or give me death" has be-
come obsolete.
Patrick Henry's words had
their place, a distinguished
parsonage in Washington told

the White House that de-
mands a well-defined legis-

But the 85th Congress itself
has on the whole laid out the
program. 1t has, of course,
sometimes accepted Presiden-
tial recommendations. But
mainly it has been the real
initiating force, as well as
the concluding force, in leg

over court-ordered ,integra-

proposal that the Governor
Should have the power and
authority to close a school

marched into Tennessee to
enforce the integration de-
cree" He also declared that
the Governor should have
power to keep the schools
closed "as long as troops re-
main in the State to en-

What the Tennessee and

that a majority of the peo-
pie in each State do not ac-
cept the idea that the SUI

last word. New State laws
with different methods of
dealing with the school
problem are yet to be tested

they do listen to the speakers
