Cabot Lodge. Mr.. Lodge, our
Ambassador to the United
Nations, intends to 60 on
with his duties there. But
the Vice President will not be
without his resources on the
floor of the Senate. He is
still its presiding officer.
Already. moreover. he has
the undoubted support Of the
whole Republican side of
the Senate. No Republican

whatever his past differences
with Vice President Nixon, is
now going to help in the de-
struction of Presidential
Candidate Nixon.
Taking all in all, it would
appear at the moment that
Mr.. Nixon was a bit out

fronts of this war. But
there is this to remember:
He is still far the most ex-

There has, for instance.
been a good deal of criticism
voiced in this country from
time to time about attend
ance by the President at
summit conferences. The
point has repeatedly been
made that these meetings
should not be convened un-
less adequate preparations
have been made in advance
and a basis for agreement
reached beforehand at an
other level-that is. between
foreign secretaries. The truth
is, this Is exactly what the
Washington government all
along favored, but the Amer
ican people have never been
told just why our position
was altered. Delicate rela-
tions with our allies were in
volved. The policy was
changed because Prime Min
lister Macmillan of Great
Britain came back from : a
visit to Moscow urging that
Mr.. Eisenhower go to such a
NIT conference, even
though preliminary agree
ments had not been reached.
It was important for Mr..
Macmillan to get the Presi-
dent to go to the summit
conference. Inside Great
Britain the Socialists were
hammering away politically
at the Prime Minister. The
Socialist leaders were oppos-
ing the use of American mil
itary bases in Britain. which
made it look as If Moscow
might benefit through a
change of government in
London.
Whatever the reasons for
acceding to the Macmillan
request, the President found
it desirable to work with the
allies Of the United States.
If Senator Kennedy were
elected, he would also find
that he himself would not
be a free agent in determine
ing our foreign policy and
that considerations raised by
our allies are often a decisive
factor.

Late Wednesday afternoon,
before the nomination of
Vice President Richard
Nixon. l got off a crowded
elevator in the headquarters
hotel to find myself with
Secretary of Agriculture
Benson. He looked rumpled,
weary and ineffably sad.
He had had a hard day.
The President had been cor

that was all. Mr.. Nixon'S
Supporters were understand
ably icy. The Secretary. two
days before, had declared he
thought Nelson Rockefeller
should be nominated. There
was perhaps a feeling of self
pity growing in the man.
His book on agriculture,
Farming for Farmers" had
been expected to have a fore
word by the President. who
had remained loyal to him
all through the bitterly con-
tested years of agricultural
feuds. But this would not
have been good politics in
year when the Nixon cam
paign would Join the Demo-
Gratis and, in effect, run
against Secretary Benson. So
the White House did not do
a foreword.
Because the Secretary is
honest and a fighter. I have
always entertained complete
respect for him. He never
wavered. His head was bloody
but unbowed. He neither
WINGED nor cried aloud. But
he was near it when he left
the elevator. He was oblivious
to all save what was on his
mind. He was very much
alone. His defenses were
down and his face reflected
his inner melancholy. I called
to him, and we walked to-

Already far more words

by both sides than ever be-

The third front is the floor

The resumed session is still
formally to open. But al

counter-marshaling goes on
there for a politely savage
struggle which may have
great influence on the out

and possibly a decisive hand
in the Kennedy-Johnson
strategy. For in the Senate
the Texan is still the ma
jority leader, is still the
senior officer present.
What Senator Kennedy
and johnson mean to do is
to run up, in a few weeks
time. a legislative record of
popular appeal and liberal
cast. These bills they will
send to President Eisenhower

Early Action by Nixon and Kennedy
Bans Pre-Lobor Day Armistice
WILLIAM S. WHITE

Suddenly the presidential
campaign is a blazing three
front war. Cheerfully ignored
is the traditional period of
undeclared and partial armi-
stice between nominating
conventions and Labor Day
which we used to know in
presidential election years.
This time they are going
at 1t Immediately and hotly.
And it is plain that until
election day there will be no
pause.
The first front engages the
presidential aspirants direct
ly. Sen. Kennedy. the Demo-
crat, in his CHG in Hyannis
Port, Mass, huddles with a
lengthening list Of volunteer
lieutenants. And even as he
draws up his central battle
order he keeps his main bat
teries firing necessarily upon
Vice President Nixon, the
Republican.
Mr.. Nixon is making his
GHQ a mobile one. He
swoops down for a few
hours into his native Cali
fornia. Then he pulls up his
forward command post -
which is his airplane-and
plunges into the newest
State, Hawaii. His direct
shelling of Sen. Kennedy is,
for the moment at least,
somewhat less intense than
the fire he is getting from
that quarter.
The second front is the
battle of handouts-the
newspaperman's term for the
formal statements, charges,
manifestos, handed out by
politicians. The multi
copying machines run al
ready at burning speed in
Kennedy headquarters in Hy-
annis Port. They are turn

When will the American
people be given the complete
story to supplement the
automatically and tactfully
phrased versions Of just how
their foreign relations have
to be conducted in operating
within an alliance? Will the
critics, including Senator
Kennedy, concede that the
President of the United States
does not alone make our for
eign policy? Or would those
who have been pounding
away at the administration
as, for instance. Adlai Ste
venson, who may be Secre-
tary of State If Senator Ken
nedy is elected-ignore the
allies of the United States in
making decisions?
President Eisenhower made
a significant speech on this
very point at a breakfast held
in Chicago during the Repub-
lican convention. He spoke
off-the-cuff. A stenographic
transcript was not immedi-
ately available, which is why
the talk probably was dis
posed of briefly in the after
noon papers of that day. But
this speech of July 81 is of
historic Importance in out
lining some aspects of the
process of making foreign
policy in these difficult times.
Mr.. Eisenhower said in part:
Now here is a point:
There is no such thing al
most as a bilateral arrange
ment with two nations
just as your platform max
ers have to take me into ac-
count in a small way Qaugh-
ter, so does every diplo-
matte interchangeable US
say between Arabia and the
United States. or Britain and
the United States, or Japan
and the United States-it
always affects other nations.
And this is the thing
that makes 1t so difficult to
get these nice. clean-cut de-
ciSions that so many Of our
experts-who are not carry
ing responsibility as some of

not know how to play poll
tics. He brought along a
stubborn, damn-the-t -torpe-

which was all he knew. He
also had a deep and abiding
faith in a personal God and
a belief that all things taken
to Him in prayer would be
answered. There is not much
humor in it. But there was.
and is. a strong resolution in
him which one finds in all
practicing MormonS.
Both parties will come UP
with new farm legislation.
The Democratic platform
spells out a new twist to an
old approach. The Republic
cans are talking of a mas
sive program" which seems to
include turning over the sur
plus to the United Nations for
disposal.
Senator Lyndon Johnson
unerringly put his finger on
the weakness in this plan
it will not remove, but will
likely increase, the huge stor-
age charges which run high
into the millions and which
so infuriate the farmers who
see warehousemen making
more off grain and foodstuffs
than do those who grow it.
Both candidates will make
a britches-splitting effort to
capture the farm States Of
the Midwest. Not all these
disagree with Mr.. Benson.
Some think he makes sense.
But the lonely, discouraged,
weary man who was plodding
down the hotel corridor, dis
owned by his own party. sure
to be the devil all candidates
would beat about the bush
from now to November, has
not changed his mind. He
still thinks he is right. And
woe-betide the new President
if the new farm plan doesn't
work. A voice will rise out of

the years has lent aid and

it as a team operation.
