British, the French and the
Israelis for their attempt by
invasion of Egypt to sanitize
the center Of Communist in
lection In the Middle East.
That center is still there,
only more virulent now.
Though the 1856 action
against that invasion was no
doubt within the spirit of the
United Nations, it was a
hopeful evasion and a sterile
legalism-and nothing more.
Moreover, it compromised
the last remnant of real
British power in the Middle
East and left the United
States instead holding a very
ugly baby.
The first lesson for the fu-
ture is that the country
simply cannot afford, extreme
partiSanship in world affairs
and certainly not either in
a hot war or a cold war that
might at any moment burst
into incandescent flame.
The D ocrats, whose

great temptation to seek par

No American can take any
pleasure in this. But no
American - this correspond

For the situation illustrates
that in certain things and at

In the first place, this adj

LANCER Drive Aided by Dirksen

Republicans. the Leaguers
in 1856 voted TO become
Democrats. Not all went
along.
Most Of them did, however,
and the understanding was
that the Democrats then
would not have to struggle
with Non-Partisan oppose
ton. That understanding
went by the board this year,
and the report here is that
more Non-Partisan candi-
dates than Democrats are
winning in the State except
at the top Of the ticket.
There have been earlier
signs that Dirksen Is more
intent now on his own fence
mending than on the Eisen-
hover business to which he
devoted himself assiduously
and quite successfully during
the first five years. He has
joined lately with Senator's
Knowland and Styles Bridges
in demanding major altera-
ton Of must items Of the
Eisenhower program.
An informed guess is that
Dirksen, after tucking the
leadership role under his belt,
has his eye on the Republic
can nomination for Vice
President in 1860. 1t is a
spot quite likely. as matters
stand, to constitute a peace
offering to the Republican
right wing. since Vice Pres
ident Nixon clearly Is turning
to the left. This would help
explain why Dirksen has
again turned cosy with the
right wing.
