What's happened TO tne
Democratic Party? For a
long time now the country
has been told that the Re-
publicans were the party OF
isolationism and that the
Democrats we're the interna-
tional co-operationists. But
It turns out now that the
Democratic Party in the
House Of Representatives has
virtually emasculated the
Presidents program for de-
fense support abroad. Mr..
Eisenhower calls It a "set-
back" for the free world.
All during the last five
years the Democrats have
been saying that President
Eisenhower may earnestly IA
vor International co-opera-
tion but that he couldn't
control his own party on the
issue. The Democrats have
constantly pictured the Presi-.
dent as unable to get his own
party to do his bidding.
In a key vote In the House
of Representatives last week,
however, the Democrats lined
up 140 to go to defeat the ap-
preparation OF SIS million
which was to have been re-
stored TO a bill in which the
administration requests had
already been cut by $500 mil
lion. The Republicans lined
up los to "a for the amend
ment.
Thus it was the Republican
Party which not only stuck
by the leadership of the
White House. but also put
itself on record as favoring
mutual security.
No longer will the Demo-
cratic campaign speakers be
able to taunt the Republi-
cans about their supposed
isolationism. No longer will
it seem convincing for the
Democratic Party's spokes-
men to be calling for bold.

felt obliged to offer to retire.
To succeed him the Presi-
dent hastily picked a Repub-
lican with a record Of con-
genial and cooperative serv-
ice at the Pentagon under
President Truman - John
McCone. McCone will not
NEEDLE with politics as
Strauss did and he has many
Democratic friends ready to
smooth his way at the Capt.
tol.
Strauss remains as adviser
to the President on interna-
tional atomic matters, but
here the advice Of Secretary
Of State Dulles will dilute his
influence. Also Congress can
be expected to turn rather
pointedly to McCone to Sec
ond-gueSs them both.
For more than five years
Adams has been securing
policy changes in the inde-
pendent agencies by the
method Of appointing only
those commissioners whose
views reflected his own. Out

TheHouses That Govern the Nation

he only looks down from his
daiS in gloomy detachment,
his bald pate glistening in
the half-light while the
wheels for the ultimate con-
troll of House affairs turn
over silently in that same old
head.
In the Senate, a great deal
of legislative business-some-
times of world significance
is transacted in what seems
to be an absent-minded, po-
litely repressed hum. The
sound is sometimes a good
deal like a high-toned theater
lobby at intermission.
Thus, perhaps the out
standing single impression of
a stranger to the Capitol
would be that this is a most
odd place in which never
were SO many speaking to so
many others who paid so
little heed. This, however, is
not really the case. Listening,
in the Capitol, is a neces-
sarily selective process-and
Selectivity in listening is an
occupational necessity. The
members know to whom they
should really listen, and
when and why.
For the truth is that here,
in the Capitol, is the strong,
beating heart Of the Ameri-
can process, and here is the
composite face of the United
States of America. Presidents
will come and go, strong or
weak or middling.
But this parliamentary
forum, under the bulbous and
ugly dome, goes on forever,
as a single. unified institu-
ton bigger than any number
OF its members and un-
changed as they depart and
others come in.
There is. after all. a rea-
son for all this talk. And the
sum of it makes much sense.
For it is, at least, the con-
sensus of the country.

Democrots' Vote on Fund Cut Called Sign
OF Cooling to P0rtys Professed Aims

the Democrats who are in
control Of Congress have
sabotaged the most impor-
tant weapon the United
States Government can WELD
in the "cold war"
There are all sorts Of rea-
sons why various members Of
the House are opposed to
foreign aid" But most Of
them are unaware Of or un-
willing to face up to the
many ticklish problems con-
fronting the Department Of
State and other government
tai agencies In carrying on
the cold war" Where the
United States spends a few
millions in a country. the
Soviet Union spends far
more.
These delicate questions
are explained in confidence
10 the committees Of Con-
gress, and 1t is significant
that both the House Foreign
Affairs Committee and the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee with q non-parti-
san approach approved over
whelmingly the Presidents
program Of approximately
3.9 billion. 1t was only
when the measure was up for
consideration by the House
Appropriations Committee
that the measure struck a
snag. Here the bitter oppo-
sition of Democratic Party
isolationists brought severe
curtailment.
Why weren't the Demo-
cratic leaders able to over
ride one Of their own COM
mittees, and why weren't
they successful in winning
more votes on the floor?
There are all sorts Of aiibis
being circulated and, as
usual. the administrations
liaison men on Capitol Hill
are being blamed for this or
that error in tactics.

Decisive Moves Emerge From Congress
In What Appears to Be AimIess Talk

committees that, in a busy
session, are filled with a
more or less unbroken clack-
ing. And it appears even more
true of the House and Sen
ate floors.
In the House the micro
phones ring so loudly in tire
less, metallic bellows that a
visitor often has no clue as
to who is saying what to
whom.
In the Senate, the last
home of tradition, there are
no sound boxes. The installa-
tion there of any such. am
plifying system would be re-
garded as embracing an evil
innovation. It would be
scarcely less unthinkable,
say. than a proposal that
Senators should pay some at
tention to the House of Rep
resentatives.
The Senate speaks both for
and to the country. Thus, the
fashion Of debate--except in
extraordinary periods when
some violent figure like the
late Senator Joseph r. Nc
Carthy is running strongly
lis rather like a conversa-
tion in somebody's sitting
room. The Senators rarely
make the eagle scream -
though they will do so on the
stump.
In the House, the trick is
to make somebody seem to
listen, if only Speaker Sam
Rayburn of Texas, the pre-
siding officer. Most members
thus expand their lungs on
the individually rare occa-
sions when they get a chance
to let go. Rayburn--the mas
