Washington is the greatest

This enables US to see our
conservatives with greater
clarity.
Senator Robert Taft was
always the "retarder or

vator. Senator Goidwater
seems pure reaction. II we
appraise his policies correctly,
he is not seeking to retard
or brake progressive policies.
He is reacting against them.
Senator Taft, when de-
feated in 1852 for the Re-
publican nomination, moved
promptly to become q brake,
or retarding force, on the
new President and his adj
ministration. Senator Taft
emerged from q historic
breakfast at Mr.. Eisenhower's
residence at Columbia Uni
versity, the nominee then
being head Of that institu-
ton. with an agreement. He
had won a considerable con-
cession. Indeed, it was so
much so that the more ir-
reverent reporters referred
to it as "the breakfast of
capitulation." Senator Taft
won a promise about budget
limitations and a pledge
"drastically to reduce Gov
eminent spending"
Neither promise could be
kept. Senator Taft later had
a real, unconcealed blow-up
over it.
Yet, he could, and did.
bring about the confirmation
of the nomination of Chip
Bohlen to be Ambassador to
Russia when Joe Mccarthy
was opposing it. It is diff
f1cult to see Senator Gold
water in the role of the
breakfast guest or the Sen
ator who took over the Bob
len problem. He and Senator
Taft are the two best known
conservatives" Of our time
Yet one seems readily to fit
the "retarder or brake
classification, and the other
that Of reaction.
Both reveal the fatal po-
litical flaw Of United States
conservatism as opposed, for
example, to British conserva-
tism. The United States
brand entirely lacks thu
necessary quality of innova-
ton and the risks inherent
in it.

The managers of the rival

1t is also the best tactic for

what rival attractions are in

Almost imperceptibly. subtle
forces are dragging the big,
brilliant Echo satellite down
to premature doom.
This is the word from the
National Aeronautical and

says Echo probably will not

would be a normal expectancy
for a satellite orbiting at Echo's
altitude.
The feather-light pressure Of
the suns rays is what is bring
ing Echo to an early end, say
experts at the Goddard Space
Flight Center. Analysing data
on Echo's orbit, they have found
that the pressure of solar ra-
diation-equivalent to only one
fiftieth Of an ounce-is bringing
the perigee, or lowest point Of
the orbit, 3.5 miles closer to
earth each day.
This depression Of Echo's
perigee eventually will bring
the 100-foot balloon down to
an altitude where atmospheric
friction will burn 1t up. This
will happen in a year at the

"Neutrals" and neutral
lists" were the words used in
the press dispatches and
headlines the other day to
describe the chiefs of five
governments who sponsored
a resolution in the United
Nations Assembly calling for
an Eisenhower Khrushchev
meeting.
But they really aren't
"neutrals." Can there justi-
fiably be a position Of neu-
trality between a government
of barbarism and q govern
ment of freedom and hui
maneness? Is any govern
ment entitled to call itself
neutral" when 1t Just plays
one side against the other
and, in some instances, en-
cages in an international
game of extortion and black
mail?
The heads Of the govern
ments of Indonesia, Yugo-
slavia, Ghana and the United
Arab Republic are impartial
only in the sense that they
have received or are demand
ing aid from both the Soviet
Union and the West. AS for
India, which is the fifth ma
ton in the group, it has in
the cabinet of the Premier an
influential minister of dis.
ITCHY communistic sympa-
thies who steers Mr.. Nehru
into moves such as he made
the other day.
The whole group of five
conferred at length with the
Soviet Premier and then is
sued the resolution calling
for the Eisenhower-Khru-
shchev meeting. One wonders
why they didn't confer also
with the American Secretary
of State. A mediating COM
mission of true neutrality
usually canvaSseS both sides
before making any such rec
concentrations.
There is every evidence
that the Soviet Premier was
using the group Of five chiefs
of state for his own propa-
ganda purposes. The resolu-
ton was hardly a day old

ing - the demand for an
apology" from President
Eisenhower for the U-2
flights. This indicates clearly
that the Soviet Premier
wasn't really serious in his
acquiescence to the so-called
"neutralist" proposal and
wanted it issued only for the
purpose Of knocking it down
publicly.
The so-called "neutralist"
group is constantly pressing
for more money or economic
aid from the United States.
The big argument usually
made is that II America
doesn't furnish the money,
they will have to turn to
Moscow for it.
Thus President Nasser Of
Egypt, while negotiating for
American help for the Aswan
Dam, was secretly negotiating
for arms and ammunition
from the Communicative
states. When the late Secre-
tary Of State John Foster
Dulles discovered this double
dealing, he rightly called OF
the negotiations. But there
are Americans in important
political positions who have
publicly denounced him for
it-as, for instance, Senator
Fulbright, Democrat of Ar
kansas, chairman Of the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
Unfortunately, for political
reasons in which party is
sometimes put above the
Nations interest, there are
some speakers who never miss
a chance to blame the Suez
crisis Of 1856 on the United
States just because this
country didn't help on the
Aswan Dam. If America is
unashamedly to buy" good
will, then the sooner the
American people face up to
the true meaning Of such
blackmail and extortion, the
more quickly they will learn
to protect themselves against
the pitfalls that appease-
ment has brought in the past.
Already Adlai Stevenson,
who is expected to be Secre-
tary Of State If Senator Ken
