In many an instance of civil

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Senate G. o. P. Leaders Pursue Theory
In Foce of Actions OF Tito, GomuIko

There was a sorry demon
stration Of our democratic
processes last Thursday night
when the Senate fought for
many long hours. until after
midnight. over whether to
retain the amendment to the
Foreign Aid Bill providing
wide latitude for President
Eisenhower to give the tax
payers money TO countries
behind the Iron Curtain.
The President himself had
asked the Senate to remove
it from the bill.
Several weeks ago the
State Department asked the
Foreign Relations Commit
tee in an executive session
for such authorization for
the President. All its mem
bers-with the exception Of
Senator William Knowland
went along. Last week Re-
publican leaders saw Mr..
Eisenhower and pointed out
to him that the whole con-
cept Of helping Communist
governments to consolidate
their power over their own
people would be misunder-
stood by the American peo-
pie.
Presidential advisers with
an eye on the mid-term
election believed that a ges-
ture toward Poland, Czecho-
slovakia or Hungary might
affect favorably the voters
who came years ago from
those countries. But the Re-
publican leadership in the
Senate believed otherwise. 1t

whelming majority of Amer
leans who are being heavily
taxed to defend the Nation

additional dollars must be
spent to STRENGTHEN Commu-
mist governments.

Tug-ofWor on Foreign Policy

nif1cance for the many to-
morrows still lying ahead in
two and a half more years Of
the Eisenhower administra-
ton.
Those who have fought a
dozen battles for him in the
foreign field do not hide their
soreness and chagrin. He has
gravely weakened his posi-
ton on a coming and an
even more critical foreign
policy issue-the proposed ex-
tension of the reciprocal
trade, or tariff-lowering, pro-
gram.
He has broken the morale
of his own forces in Con-
gress, and possibly elsewhere,
as rarely before he had done.
Many had gone up to the
firing line for him this time
at obvious peril to them
selves. They knew that to
support any sort of help for
Com m unist relationships
would be bad news POLITICAL
ly in nearly every part of the
country.
Some recognized, too, that
such a policy itself might be
bad in principle as we'll. But
they had taken the risk be-
cause they felt obliged to
back the constitutional right
of the PreSident-wisely or
MOTTO conduct this coun-
try's foreign policy.
Some of them-a critical
number in both parties-will
be far less ready hereafter to
respond to calls for action
from a Commander in Chief
who. as they see it, has sig
nailed them to the charge
and has himself then turned
the other way.
The orthodox Republicans
will hold hereafter a prac&
teal veto power over foreign
policy. And even some of the
bipartisans are in a way not
too sorry. For the orthodox
Republicans, however much
in error they may be, have
always a clear and predic-
table conference of purpose.
They do not abandon posi-
tions once taken: once COM
mitted, they fight on to the
end.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-06-09

President Eisenhower is
fast losing control or is
handing over control - over
his own foreign policy, and
the orthodox nom Eisenhower
Republican wing is moving in.
There have been few more
significant developm ents
within the country since his
administration began.
For it means the begin
ming of the end of a biparti-
san approach in world affairs
that has endured for five and
a half years in the Eisen-
hover regime. Actually, more
over, it had been operative
most of the time in the dec
ade and a half since Pearl
Harbor.
The Presidents progressive
retirement from top COM
mand has been visible on any
close analysis for a year or
more. But the most open
and the most dsngerous-in-
stance of this retreat came
over the week end.
He permitted the Senate

him power that his own State
Department, and every one
of his closest foreign policy

authorize the President to
give economic assistance to
certain Communist satellite
countries. He could have done
this only where he thought it
might help to split the mono

The committee by bipar-
tisan majority had voted to
put this authorization into
the current foreign aid bill.
The motion was from Sena-
tor John F. Kennedy, a Mas

situation. Mr.. Knowland, an

that the President, too. now

in the aid bill.
Mr.. Eisenhower, it was

kind Of power-but only in
some later and separate bill.
Everybody aware of the situa-
ton in the Senate knew that
it was now or never: that
there was not going to be any

This strongly suggestive
evidence that the Republican
Old Guard had overcome not
only his own State Depart

self had these immediate eff

fought on. But they fought
on to inevitable defeat on
what with any presidential
backing would have been an
equally inevitable victory
for presidential powers.

Democratic leadership and
every Eisenhower Republican
stayed with what they had
been told earlier the Presi-

that the resort to military

says:
There was no real at

much less exhaust them.
There was no real effort to
enforce the court decree by
using the United States mar
shals office. or by augment
ing his staff through a posse

There was no real at
tempt to try the injunctive
process with its ever present
threat of contempt proceed
ings. The only persons who
were enjoined by the Federal
Court--the Governor and the
Arkansas Guard officers
readily obeyed the court
mandate.

most disturbing pattern of
our time; that is, the trend

Assertions from the State
Department that assistance
to some Communist govern
ments would help to wean
them away from Moscow are
being taken with a grain Of
salt. The last 10 years have
proved that American dol
lars have not succeeded in
buying US friends. Has Tito
changed in the slightest after
he received more than SIS
billion? He may have quar-.
rels with Khruschchev but
that does not change r. at
titude toward free cot .es.
Has Gomulka shown any real
indication Of independence
from Moscow after receiving
$3.50 million in the last two
years?
President Eisenhower lis
tened to the men who, de-
spite the present trend to
subservience by the legisla-
tive bodies, could still cause
trouble. He authorized the
minority leader to ask for
the withdrawal of the
amendment from the Foreign
Aid Bill with the understand
ing that he would ask later
for special legislation for the
poor Communist govern
ments.

The tragedy at Little Rock
may have important legal
consequences that were not
foreseen when Federal troops
were used at Central High
School there TO enforce a
court decree on the suppose
ton that no other means
was available.
Virgil T. Blossom, super
intendent Of schools at Little
Rock, has Just made a star
ting revelation in Federal
Court. He has testified that
the school board at Little
Rock asked for Federal mar
shals to enforce the courts
decree and that the request
was refused by Judge Ronald
Davies. This fact has never
before been publicly known.
Senator John C. Stennis,
Democrat Of Mississippi, in
a speech before the Missis-
sippi Bar Association a few
days ago made the point that
there was no law authorizing
the use Of Federal troops and
that United States marshalS
should have been required to
perform the task of enforcing
the courts decree. Senator
Stennis now has written to
Controller General Campbell
asking him to look into the
legality of payments made to
Arkansas National Guards
men during their period Of
Federal service. He has asked
for an independent deter
mination as to the legality
Of payment of such funds.
because they were originally
appropriated for national de-
tense. The controller general
has replied that he will in
vestigate the matter and
render a decision.
The Mississippi Senator,
who is an eminent lawyer.
says that none of the con-
ditions set forth in the
law which was cited in
the Presidents proclamation
really existed in Little Rock.
He adds:
There was no danger of
invasion or rebellion and no
indication that the President
was unable with the regular
forces to execute the laws
of the United States. More
over, this section requires
that orders to call into the
Federal service members of

posed as a substitute for q
measure President Eisenhower
submitted late in the last ses-
sion to an unenthuSiastic Con-
gress. The previous measure
would have authorized the Fed
eral Government to give up a
fiat 4 per cent Of its local
telephone tax revenues to all
the States. 1t met opposition
from States where 4 per cent Of
telephone taxes collected in
their borders would fall short
of the amounts they now re-
ceive In Government grants.
Mr.. Anderson described the
new proposal as q f1ve-year
program at the end of which
the Federal tax on local tele-
phone service would be reduced
from 10 to s per cent. BY then.
he said, it is contemplated that
all the States will have levied
State telephone taxes or pro-
vided other revenues to finance
the two programs for which
they would have full RESPONSE
bility.

would give up Sat million in
