fit. Now the Republican Ma
tional Committee has got a
foothold in the White House.
The working Republican
politicians have at length
convinced the President that
they are really a part of his
outfit, and that he is really a
part of theirs. 1t is unlikely
that they ever would have
reached this status with the
President but for their eager
support of his determination
to hold the line against So
called panic remedies in the
job field. He had committed
himself to this policy, this
policy so dear to orthodox
Republieanism, with a vigor
rare for him. And here. at
least. he began to see that
he really needed the pros.
The story of how they OBJ

more aggressive than their
predecessors. Slowly they be-
gan to put a certain touch of
old-fashioned Republicanism
on the White House itself.
Then Senator Morton came
along to finish the job. One
week it was arranged that he
should sit in-not as a Sena-
tor but as COP. national
chairman-with the Presi-
dent and the congressional
leaders in their weekly leg
islative conferences. The next
week, after the first such
participation by Senator
Morton. the President for
the first time in his career
threw a must" list of legis-
lation at Congress.
Now the Democrats will
treat this at best as a may
be" list; in the end what is
done will certainly be more
their program than the Pres
ident's program. But the big
point is this: The G. o. p.
pros have at long last toll
ingly scaled the domestic
sum NIT and entered the
White House as welcome
guests. Their job now-Sen-
ator Morton's job specifically
is to stay there. This new
association will never enable
them to overmaSter the DEM
ocratic congressional major
ity; for power is power.
They will, however, be
entirely content, this CORE
spondent learns from them,
if only the President will
continue to show some par
t'san interest In the party.
For Senator Morton is going
to these White House confer
ences mainly to build morale
among the Republican rank
and file in the country. What
he is saying to the faithful is
this: Sure the President is
interested in the G. o. P.
Why else would he invite
your chairman to these
meetings?"

For the first time in his six
years in the White House,
President Eisenhower is re-
spending to a purely partisan
spur in his relationship with
Congress. The Republican
pros have at last convinced
him that he must mix it"
with the controlling congress
sional Democrats.
The immediate consequence
is a marked sharpening OF
rivalry between the White
House and Capitol Hill. This
will be increasingly seen as
time goes on, assuming the
President maintains his pres
ent attitude.
One certain ultimate con-
sequence will be to make con-
gressional Republicans much
happier than they have been.
1t is possible, too, that the
Presidents legislative wishes
hereafter will carry more
weight, and for two reasons.
Reason No. / is the coun-
try's booming job situation.
This has seemed to vindicate
Mr.. Eisenhower's economic
theories. And the old Demo-
cratic cries that he was doing
too little too late to revive
employment have lost their
force in the face of this
springs spectacular rise in
jobholding. The man who got
the blame for the rainfall
Dwight D. Eisenhower-now
gets credit for the sunshine.
Reason No. 2-and this is
the theme of this piece-lies
in the fact that the President
has at last asserted a tradi-
tional but heretofore largely
ignored role as a party leader.
The simple fact Is this: The
Republican National Com
mittee for six years had been
absently treated by the Pres
ident as a rather crude out

Mrs. Luce Value Is Not Impaired by
 Squabble, Says Ike

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower said today Mrs. Clare Booth Luce's usefulness as Am baSsador to Brazil has not been damaged in any major way by her row with Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon.
 The President told news con- ference that he had a telephone survey made Tuesday - after Mrs. Luce hit out verbally at Morse - and concluded that she will be welcome in Brazil.
 The Senate gave Mrs. Luce a humping vote of confirmation Tuesday despite bitter opposition by Morse.
 Mrs. Luce then said her troubles began when Morse was kicked in the head by a horse," to which Morse replied that her remark was consistent with an old, old pat tern of emotional instability" on Mrs. Luce's part.
 Some Democratic senators who had voted for confirmation of the nomination said that if they had to do it over again, they would vote against her.
 Mrs. Luce's husband, Henry Luce of the Time-Life-Fortune publishing empire, said in New York he had asked his wife to re- sign the ambassadorship because of the criticism.
 It was against this background that Eisenhower was asked whe- ther he thought Mrs. Luce should take up her post in Rio De Ja- neiro or follow the advice of her husband and offer to resign.
 Eisenhower hesitated a moment and then joined in a round of laughter touched off by the way the question was put - whether he thought Mrs. Luce should obey her husband
 Eisenhower then said that all though Mrs. Luce's criticism of Morse may have been ill advised, it was human.
 She made the remark, the Pres ident said, in the heat of anger.
 Then Eisenhower said he feels there has been no major impair ment of Mrs. Luce's usefulness.
