Under fire for payola and

television interests are not
in a Stand-pat mood on the
issue. But they are looking
for commercial solutions, and
they are beginning to raise
the question Of how the same
equal representation can be
secured in the press.
They are also asking what
the formal of equal time for
the parties shall be and who
will decide the details. In
such an argument, the prin-
ciple could well be lost.
Experienced politicians are
saying that the nominees for

such approaches to the voter.
Such control would certainly

their own about cold war
strategy.
The Republicans will make
a catastrophe mistake if
they mortgage Nixon's whole
future, unquestioningly and
in advance, to every possible
turn of the Eisenhower for
eign policy line. Nixon must
have some leeway for the
campaign, particularly if by
then the cold war has
worsened.
The Democrats will make
a fatal mistake if in their
zeal to criticize the Repub-
licans they begin to sound
as though they were running
on a pro-Khrushchev, in
stead of a pro-Democratic
ticket. True, the Republi-
cans made great headway in
1852 by responsibility over
"Truman's War" in Korea.
Such a course, however, will
surely not recommend itself
to the Democrats this time,
if only because the basic pre-
conditions are wholly diff
ferent.
Then we were in a war
which many wanted to end.
Now we are in a peace-of
sorts-which all hope to keep.
Most of the voters, however,
will not believe that the best
way to keep that peace is to
let the Russians walk all over
our legitimate interests.
Thus, the Democratic
necessity is to avoid the
strong temptation Of attack
ing Eisenhower simply to get
at Nixon; the temptation to
make the present Administra-
ton look very bad by making
the Russians look pretty good.
The Democrats have got to
remember that the United
States has one and only one
spokesman to the world, the
President. They cannot seri-
ously let him down without
letting down the country
and without letting down
their own party.

The Democratic Club of the

heard sharp criticism Of
smoke -filled-room" tactics in
the selection of a presidential
nominee.
At a luncheon in the Burling-

siStant to Senator Kennedy,

said neither major party has
selected a nominee who didn't
win a primary.

Mr.. Linton charged that "a

goes to an international
conferene with the old image
discounted.
1t is serious business, but
chiefly because the Soviets
will be the better able to pro-
pose and argue tougher
terms. 1t will be easier for
Khrushchev to lay down the
harsher terms he likely would
have outlined without the
propaganda plum which fell
Unexpectedly into his lap.
Khrushchev is a shrewd
man. He is not unaware that
Mr.. Eisenhower said, after
his reelection, he planned to
devote his major attention to
WOrld peace.
There is an election COM
ing up. The Republicans
twice swept to great triumphs
because their nominee was
judged to be the man who
could bring an easing of
world tensions. In Great
Britain, Harold Macmillan
routed the Labor Party with
the slogan that a vote for the
Tories was a ballot for peace.
The G. o. P. can't win in No
vember if the world is in a
new state of tension.
1t will. therefore, be much
more difficult to refuse to
pay the price Mr.. K will put
on Berlin and atomic test
controls. He will hardly agree
that the Western sector of
the one-time German capi-
tai continue as a West Ger
man city.
1t will not be a.. pleasant
session. Much of it will be
unpleasant for a man with
lots of Dutch" to take.
Results are likely to be few.
The best we can hope for
is a continuation of the cold

of how to fight it.

sibh men in both parties
admit the danger Of letting
the situation drift.
Business circles have
tackled the problem, too. In
various ways. Certain COM
panies have their own system

candidates; others seek to
arouse voter interest by ad-
vertising and propaganda.
This is helpful. but the in
dividual candidate still finds
that he is dependent upon
his own ability to attract the
financial support of indi-
viduals or interests in his
cause.
What happens as a prac-
tical result is that both
parties and their candidates
find their appeal growing
ever more narrow. Republic
cans are increasingly de-
pendent upon the rich, Dem
ocrats upon labor unions.
While each party in theory
wants to broaden its base,
financial necessities narrow
it.

Both political parties are
walking in the dark about
the international situation.
Each is moving with infinite
caution. Each is hoping that
its more excitable partisans
will just go away and keep
quiet.
There is, for each party,
an enormously destructive
potential in this business.
And there is, for each, an
enormous opportunity for
gain in the November elec-
tions.
In crude terms the posi-
tion is this: The Republi-
cans are in fear they may
lose the peace issue" on
which they had counted so
much. The Democrats are
in hope they may be able to
wrest that issue away from
Vice President Nixon, the
prospective G. o. P. presi-
Dental nominee.
The winning party in this
grim contest is likely to be
determined not so much by
the wisdom of what it does
as by the unwisdom of what
the other does. This is a time
when the best possible poll
tics may lie mainly in good,
sound creative inaction,
mixed with a little bit of
action taken only after a
great deal Of forethought.
The party that rushes bold
ly into this situation, hurting
accusations and manifestos
right and left against the
other, is likely to rush itself
right out of the victory COL
umn in November. "
The central problem for
the Republicans is to strike
a nice balance between sup
porting President Eisenhower,
in the "spy plane" episode
and beyond, without tying
Nixon absolutely, totally and
unalterably to such parts of
Eisenhower policy as may
seem erroneous in November.
The Democrats must strike
perhaps even more delicate
balance. They must not
seem to take two-bit partisan
advantage Of our present or
future national embarraSs-
ments. They must not, on
the other hand, act as

DAVID LAWRENCE

What's the difference be-
tween a Russian aerial ap-
paratus flying 1873 miles in
the air and taking pictures
across the United States, and
an American observation
plane flying IL miles above
the territory of the Soviet
Union also taking pictures?
Is the flight of the newest
"sputnik" of the Russians an
"act of aggreSSion?" Is it an
other spying" operation?
Certainly it was conducted
without advance notice to
and without the consent of
the United States Govern
ment.
There is no settled basis
of international law for eth
er the claim that national
sovereignty does extend into
outer space or that it does
not. It is an unresolved issue.
Under those circumstances,
the sky is free to everybody
until an agreement Of some
kind is reached.
That is why a lot of the
artificial commotion stirred
up by Moscow propaganda in
the last several days makes
little sense. For the latest
exploit of the so = called
satellite" of the Russians,
which contains the dummy
of a man, points up how un-
realistic have been some of
the comments about the
American plane.
The Soviet government
does not seem to be worried
whether the timing" is right.
The stunt was arranged to
take place at the very mo-
ment the summit conference
was about to meet. Yet, in
America some of the critics
have said that the expert
mental observation flight by
Francis Powers should never
have been flown "at this
time" Is the United States

Eisenhower Appears to Be Out
OF Focus for the First Time

BILE and angry at the decision
to risk a fight in the imme-
diate pre-summit days, stub
bornly ordered the truth. He
himself had agreed to a gen.
eral directive for such flights,
but did not rule on each
assignment.
This Jared the old image
out of focus.
The President knows this.
Since he is a sensitive man,
he will be edgy. uncomfort-
able, and embarrassed. But
he will set his jaw and see it
through. He is, after all, an
old soldier whose patrols have
been driven back in other
engagements.
The Soviets have been
caught spying. Fuchs took
secrets from our atomic CEN
ter in Los Alamos. The
Rosenbergs were in on the
deal. Rudolph Abel. a Soviet
agent, was caught redhanded
operating in Brooklyn. But
these were in the old pattern.
They, too, embarrassed the
Soviets. This makes it even
more difficult for the Presi-
dent to fill the role of an
offender.
The Russians. who are not
without a sense of humor,
are almost certainly aware
of this and enjoying the huge
discomfort of the Americans.
To have caught their great
rival in the cold war in an
act of aggression and viola
ton of international law, and
thereby to shock and diSmay
all the Western Allies, is a
great coup. 1t would be inter-
eSting to hear Mr.. Eisen-
hower's private comments.

There are new Eisenhower
Khrushchev images for the
Paris showing Of the latest in

ions. And unhappily for the
West, that of Presid mt
Eisenhower is for the first
time blurred and out of focus.
Nikita Khrushchev will be
there with Communist off,
cialdom remolded nearer to
his hearts desire. The last of
the old Molotov-B -Bulganin
group was removed by the
dismissal of Nikolai Mikhai-
Low. Two or three others re-
garded as not in the Khru-
shchev mold were eXiled to
provincial posts. With out
question he wanted no dis
senting minds at home.
Once this reShuff1ing was
accomplished he began to
take a tougher line. There
were to be, he said. revised
Soviet proposals about Berlin
and nuclear testing.
The image of President
Eisenhower for years has
been that Of a man who was
so far above the cynicisms
and deceits common to poll
tics and diplomacy as to be
unassailable. He took the
high road. He was above
party. He was a man of peace
and good will. And in a very
real sense, this image was

is imminent, we can launch
an attack before the agrees
sor has hit either us or our
allies. This is an element of
deterrence which the United
States should not deny itself.
No other form of deterrence
can be fully relied upon"
This is but another way of
saying that, of course, the
United States must operate
its observation planes so that,
if it sees a potential enemy
getting ready for a surprise
attack, the American coun-
terattack car be launched
before the first blow" actu-

The Russians have an ad-
vantage-they know they are
not going to be attacked first.

nothing better than to stop

Is like a thing of sold.
That never dulls or furnishes.
Or grows the least bit old.
Our nom was like a ray
OF sunshine bright,
That filled an empty room,
And like a flower fair,
That never failed to bloom.
In my heart I would like to stray.
Along the road Of yesterday
To hear you laugh,
To see you smile.
To talk with you a little while.
SO many days have passed and
gore.
Ard many changes made.
But nothing takes our mind from

Or makes your memory fade.
Memory is heartache no one can
steal,
Some seem to have forgotten
As it daWns another year.

When she meant so much to US
She is in our every heart and soul,
And in our every memory
