Mr.. Alcorn is the man in
the middle, and he is feeling
it with increasing keenness.
The White House rule, stern
ly enforced by Mr.. Adams, is
that the President must be
spared the controversial and
the disagreeable. 1t was not
perhaps entirely an accident
that Mr.. Alcorn told White
House reporters Republicans
might lose the Senate. He is
said to feel that this posi-
bility was not fully grasped
inside the presidential Offices.
He is worried, also, by one
facet of the Eisenhower re-
cesslon attitudes which has
received little attention. AS in
the old Sherlock Holmes
story. it is an omission. Re-
minded that the dog didn't

What Mr.. Alcorn wants is

centers, some gesture Of
warmth and concern for the

other than mere words said
here. He has not yet been
able to sell his idea to the

The National Council Of the

hover administrators request
for authority to share secret
nuclear military know-how with
other nations.
The scientists said yesterday
Congress should not delegate
such authority but should keep
a tight checkrein on such in
formation or atomic materials.
Saying an atomic stalemate
now exists between Russia and
the United States, the scientists
said American policy now is
to build up and protect a nu-

Russians.
However. this policy can at
best maintain a precarious bal

South America ever since the
end Of the war. As with some
Of our allies In the Middle
East and the Far East, we
have been taking Latin Amer

not a single republic south of

The good neighbor policy
was established originally by

Roosevelt in 1884. The coined

was soon forgotten.
During the regimes of

Democrats Run as q Team

The political middle has
become so very large that
there is little room any more
for the old fringe groups on
the right and on the left.
Whether all this is good or
bad is a vastly complicated
question. 1t is no part of this
discussion.
3. Accordingly, the Repub-
licans and Democrats, as they
begin to confront the su-
preme test Of 1860, are in
situations as different as
night is from day. The Re-
publican problem is that the
party has only one real pos
sibility-Mr. Nixon.
2 The Democratic problem is
that the party has altogether
too many possibilities and
that none Of them has been
able to thrust his head up
high enough and long enough
to become an instantly recog-
nizable national figure.
This is true Of the Demo-
cratic Observation-Disclosures of
New Jersey, Leader of Penn
sylvania, Williams Of Michi-
gan, and so on. 1t is even
more true of six urgent young
men of the Senate who are
