Butler in the Act

The Democratic leaders denied
the charges and denounced the at
tackS. But then their own ma
tlonal chairman, bumbling Paul
Butler. took the Republicans
somewhat off the hook by ac-
cusing the G. o. P. of having tried
to play "footsies with the Rus
slams" over the last two years.
One of the key plankS used to
buttress Republican charges
against Mr.. Stevenson was a con-
troversial interview he gave to a
French reporter, Robert Boulay of
the Paris PresSe L'IntranSlgeant.
Mr.. Boulay's story was published
on May IA, two days before the
summit meeting was scheduled to
open. In it, Mr.. Stevenson was
quoted as saying the present sit
uation in Berlin cannot be main
tained, that allied forces in West
Berlin could be reduced and that
he can foresee the day when
American forces would be with
drawn from Europe. He was also
quoted as follows:
For 10 years there has not really
been a Secretary of State for

Farley Hits Back

The first counterblaSt, curl
ously enough, did not come from
the Republicans. James A. Farley,
former Democratic national chair
man and director of Franklin D.
Roosevelt'S first two campaigns,
denounced Mr.. Stevenson in sar-
donic words, calling him ar
Apostle of appeasement" and a
man who is obviously infatuated
with the sound of his own we'll
rounded phrases.
Virtually all other Democratic
leaderS-the notable exceptions
were Senate Majority Leader
johnson. presidential hopeful
himself, and House Speaker Ray
burn-lined up behind Mr.. Steven
son. Senator Symington of Mis-
souri,, still another Democratic
presidential aSpirant, went even
further. In a speech last Thurs
day, he accused Mr.. Eisenhower
OF leading the Nation to a "humil-
lating disaster" at Paris.
But the Republicans reacted
furiously. Last weeks newspapers
carried the G. o. P. National
Committees blast at Mr.. Steven
sons reckless speech" which, it
said, was aimed at destroying
American unity for his personal
political profit.
Then three Republican Slug
gers" in the Senate, Minority
Leader Dirksen, Hugh Scott and
ThruSton Morton, the national
chairman, went to work. Out came
implied charges that Mr.. Steven
son and Senator Kennedy, 'front.'

lnation, were acting like
"appeaSers" in their aIlegedly

challenge.

Inquiries Open

Meanwhile, as reports from
abroad indicated our allies were
confounded by the prospect, three
separate Democratic-led congress

quiries into the pre-summit events.
including the U-2 spy plane affair.
Although it was not unanimous,
many Republicans agreed that an
inquiry was in order. Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller and Senator Jacob
Javits of New York we're two early
supporters of the idea. So was
Senator Margaret Chase Smith of
Maine, who wisely said: II do not
believe the Democrats should BIZ
silenced by loyalty gag J"
Then President Eisenhower
spoke out at a White House
breakfast following his Wednesday
night radio-TV report to the
Nation on the summit debacle He
promised Democratic leaders full
administration cooperation in the
congressional inquiries, beginning
with the one being directed by
Senator Fulbright and the Senate
Foreigns Relations Committee.
A special five-man committee
which keeps posted on Central
Intelligence Agency affairs and a
Senate Government Operations
subcommittee, also will hold in
quiries.
All the Investigations are TO be
held behind closed doors. although
carefully censored transcripts of
the Foreign Relations Committee
hearings are being made available
to the press.
The temptations for the extreme
partisanS of both the Democratic
and Republican parties to use bits
and pieces for what they hope will
be political profit will be tremen-
douS in this election year. If
before every attack and counter
attack, the warrior would ask
himself, will this hurt the
Nation?" perhaps the damage
can be held to a minimum.

transcripts Censored

Although the committees meet
ings are behind closed doors, it
has been promised that all testi-
mony except that considered of
a vital security nature will be
promptly released. Mr.. Herter's
special assistant for Soviet affairs.
Charles E. Bohlen, censors the
transcripts as they come from the
hearing room.
1t was recalled after Fridays
session that in April, while Mr..
Khrushchev was vacationing at
Baku, he had taken sharp excep-
tion to a speech made in Chicago
by Mr.. Herter and another by
Undersecretary of State Dillon In
New York more recently. With the
benefit of hindsight, and in view
OF the Paris summit debacle, some
diplomats advanced the opinion
that the Soviet decision to cancel
the summit and the Eisenhower
visit were made then. The Soviet
leader had charged at Baku that
the two speeches were evidence
that American policy. remained
hostile and rigid despite the reas-
surances of the Camp David talks
between himself and Mr.. Eisen-
hover.
British and French foreign af-
fairs officials, repeatedly aghast
early last week at the prospect of
a congressional airing of the
Vests policies and actions, were
somewhat treasured by the dignity
and restraint of the Fulbright
committees opening session. But
editorial comment in London and
Paris continues to be highly criti-
cal of American "ineptitude" and
"recklessness" in the conduct Of
affairs with the Soviet bloc.
There appeared to be a definite
effort by Soviet bloc embassies in
Washington to treat the collapse
as regrettable but not a reason for
a return to the icicle days of the
cold war.
Evening star., 1960-05-29

When the Senate Foreign Re-
lationS Committee hearing opened
Friday, Secretary of State Herter,
first to testify, carried the Presi-
dents remarks further. He told
the lawmakers that it was the
State Departments opinion that
the Russians had decided in April
to torpedo the summit, and that
the U-2 flight was only one of
several reasons why Mr.. Khru-
shchev acted as he did in Paris.
The Secretary also defended the
timing of the spy-plane's fight.
Answering criticism of admins
tration wisdom in permitting such
a provocative expedition on the
very eve of the summit talks, he
said that the flight was necessary
because conditions at a later sea-
son would have prevented obtain

Politics.:

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
asserted on Wednesday he would
accept a draft for the RepubIi-

Former President Truman re-
called his doubts on AdIai E.

What virtually every political
observer had long suspected was
confirmed in Albany, N. Y, last
week Gov. Rockefeller believes
that fate might yet hand him the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Rockefeller dramatically
withdrew" from the fight last
December. He has stated repeated
ly since then that he was not a
candidate. But he has taken great
pains not to indorse Vice President
Nixon. Furthermore, he has tried
on occasion to point up areas in
which he differed with Eisen-
hower-Nixon policy.
And so, when the New York
State Republican Executive Com
mittee asked the Governor wheth-
er he was finally and completely
out of the race, he was forced to
make public his secret hope. He
would be greatly honored and
would accept" a draft, he said.

were missing.

II found them not five yards

To do except go back into the

into the gales they had just es-
capped. Again the angry winds
lifted the parasol and Tipped it
over and over and hurled 1t
across the clouds like q car on

maining magic words Costen-
bricker could remember now

say nothing that would make
the rollicking parasol do his
bidding.
They were swept finally to

the parasol shot toward the
ground with Michael and Cos

handle.

Naturally, you refuse the first

East continues with the Jack

Now you must find a way to

For this purpose you must de-

set up? :
Normal Plays Fail
The normal way to play for

This win fail because West
gains the lead with the ace Of
diamonds and runs his spades.
The normal play for the clubs
is to lead the jack of clubs from

West will win with the queen

and the ace Of diamonds.
The compromise play is
safest. You lead out the ace

Of dropping the queen. Since
