Of the Communist countries, on

cerned with determining atti-
tudes toward the competing
ideologies of the two great

The midsummer survey was

The United States today de-

The State Department said
It represents another step by
Premier Fidel Castro's regime

The department lashed out
at the Cuban move a few hours
after q new Havana decree

American Arms. The decree
covered most Of the $3.50 mil

Senators Douglas, Clark and
Company are the sole Gus
todians Of the true faith, the
sole determinery Of who Is
entitled to what in the SEN
ate.
And it has one other small
defect. If Clark and Douglas
should push this effort at
revenge - as Senator Byrd
has publicly invited them to
do - they would be for
tunate to find one-fourth Of
the Senate in their support.
Now, Senator Byrd's polit-
ical views are not the views
of even one-third Of the Sen
ate. But at least four.tifths
of the Senate admires the
integrity Of Harry Flood Byrd
Of Virginia. And at least four
f1fths Of the Senate has read
the Constitution. 1t provides
that each State shall select
its own Senators. 1t does not
not yet at least-say that
those Senators and their ac-
tions must have the approval
of Paul H. Douglas or Joseph
s. Clark.

well as by policy -making.
Senator Kennedy has never
had any experience as the top
executive Of a large organi-
zation. Most of our Presidents
have not had that kind Of
experience, though, in the
case of Governors elected to
the ONCE Of Chief Executive,
it may be said that they have
become familiar with execu-
tive operations on q smaller
but nevertheless analogous
basis. Maybe this is the rea-
son so few men from Con-
gress have ever been elected
to the Presidency,
Whatever else may be said
about military commands
and the tendency to use the
staff system, the truth is that
anyone who has had the
highest military post in the
biggest war of all history has
been fully aware of the i'm
portance Of getting the right
kind Of advice and making
the right decisions. For in
war there is usually no sec
ond chance in which to rec
tify errors or correct mistakes
Of judgment.
Senator Kennedy's youth
has been considered a liabil-
ity. but it may prove an asset.
For the job requires the en-
ergy of the young and at
times the willingness Of youth
to take risks. The President
elect will be assuming office
with many important policies
hanging in the balance.
That's why the readiness Of
President Eisenhower to
transmit not only informa-
ton but advice is an indica.
ton of his high-mindedness
and devotion to the public
interest. Indeed, there should
be many such conferences as
occurred yesterday between
the incoming and outgoing
Presidents. 1t is the only prac-
tical way to overcome the
handicap that any new Chief
Executive faces as he takes
ofiice and becomes solely re-
sponsible for the safety Of the
Nation one minute after
twelve o'clock noon on Janu-
ary 20, 1861.

are, after all, only such un-

Senators Mansfield and Hum

would be to oust Byrd from

down the amazing principle
that Senate committees are
not the instruments Of the
Senate itself but rather of
