RALPH McGHLL
Emperor-Fother Eventually Grew
To Love Devoted Boy as a Son

PARIS.-Before I left the
United States. I read a book
titled The King of Rome"
by Andre Castelot, a distin-
guished French scholar and
historian. 1t is a story OF
Napoleon's son, whose mother
was Marie Louise. On the
first day in Paris, because Of
having read it, I won three
bets from American CORE
spondents, which obligates
me to Mr.. Castelot.
Few seem to know that in
1910 Adolf Hitler, who
fancied himself the Napoleon
of our times, fetched the
bronze casket Of Napoleon II
to Paris from Vienna, where
it had been for a hundred
years. Hitler then dreamed Of
himself as an emperor Of
France. So he had French
men carry it into the magni-
ficent building which houses
the tomb of Napoleon. They
moved a nephew, Joseph. into
a corner.
So it is that the dust Of
the 2l-year-old boy lies in
state not far from his father.
who. for all his faults and
vanity. loved the boy for him
self. but more, perhaps, be-
cause the son was to him a
symbol of immortality.
The book about the boy is
In many ways moving one.
He was handsome, intelli-
gent. and loyal. His name was
Napoleon Francois Josep h
Charles. and he was chris
tened as King of Rome. His
life was not dramatic. An ef-
fort was made to brainwash
him Of all memory of his
father. He emerges as an in
tellectual whose writings. un-
fortunately, were burned by
his mothers advisers. He
loved his father, and while
Evening star., 1960-06-30

he knew the faults of his
parent, nonetheless he def
antly resisted all efforts to
degrade the record and the
man.
His devotion to his father
is the more unusual because
he knew all the facts and
had impressed upon him the
words of his father who
had made it plain he wanted
not so much a son as an heir.
Napoleon entertained tn e
grandiose idea of remaining
emperor of most of the world,
or all of it. Therefore, he
wanted an heir. But when
the boy was born Napoleon
came to love him as a son.
His mother was a weak.
stupid, promiscuous. selfish
woman. She was one of the
royal marriage set whose
fathers. kings and emperors,
married their daughters off
to avoid war or to effect an
alliance. Marie Louise did not
want to marry Napoleon but
did not contest her fathers
order to marry. She wanted
a son as much as did Napo-
leon. She was aware that the
Corsican wanted descendants
to continue his dynasty.
Present at the child's birth
were four doctors, nine ladies,
five chambermaids, a nurse
and two personal maids. For
a time there was great ten
sion. The child had to be
delivered with forceps. Doc
tors told Napoleon it might
be necessary to save either
the child or the mother. He
said to save the mother, a
decision which seemed so
strange to Marie Louise she
really never understood it.
When the boy was de-
livered Napoleon said. Il
envy him, for glory awaits

DORIS FLEESON

BISMARCK, ND. - The
special Senate election here is
decisive Republican defeat
even If a recount awards the
contested seat to Gov. John
E. Davis, Republican, over
Representative Quentin Bur-
dick. Democrat.
It's effects will be felt
throughout the Midwest
which it defines as q battle
ground where resurgent Dem
ocrats hold the initiative. The
Midwest's decision on the
presidency this year could go
either way and Republicans
trying to win 10 United States
Senate seats in the area are
badly handicapped.
North Dakota Republicans
had the best candidate and
nothing was spared in the ef-
fort to elect him. The money
and the star performers
flowed here in quantity. The
best campaign operatives who
were available lived here for
months. Neither Gov. Davis
nor his record was an issue
in the campaign.
Yet the State which only
four years ago did not really
have the two-party system
turned away from its long
tradition. North Dakota said
it did not like Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra T. Benson

Has the prestige" Of the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee reached q new
low?" The Senate has just
been given a report on the
U-2 affair which in part is
concurred in by some o its
members, while others dis
sent. 1t lacks coordination
and consistency. Ten Sena-
tors-all of them Democrats,
including Senator Kennedy
officially put themselves on
record as implying that the
President should have lied to
the world. Six Republicans
and one Democrat insist that
it was absolutely necessary
for the President to tell the
truth.
The same committees
chairman, Senator j. Will
liam Fulbright, Democrat of
Arkansas, after presenting
the report to the Senate. al
leges that the administration
is lying now about certain
aspects of the incident. In
a speech to the Senate, he
says:
I'VE are told that this
particular fight was in a spe-
cial category; that it was
seeking information of ex-
traordinary Importance
which might not be availa BILE
later. However. we are not
told, even under conditions of
the utmost secrecy. what
that information was. In
view of the sensitivity Of
some of the other things we
were told, this reticence on
the part of the executive
branch raises the question
of whether the information
sought on May l was in fact
as important as it has been
represented. There is ground
here for the conclusion that
the alleged extraordinary i'm
portance of this information
is the administrations cover
story for its own costly mis-
take"
To accuse ones own Gov
ernment of lying to a Senate
committee doesn't seem to
bother the Senator, who, in

Khrushchev Intrusion in u. S. Affairs
Is Regarded as Bid to Weaken West

For the first time in our
history the head of a foreign
power has had the imperti-
nence to intrude overtly into
our domestic policies. Pre-
mier Khrushchev has openly
told the American people that
unless they elect next No
vember a chief executive with
whom he could DEAL" we
may be in trouble.
Last year Mr.. Khrushchev
received in the Kremlin
Mayor George Christopher Of
San Francisco. He was all
kindness and friendliness. He
opened his heart to the
Mayor and said that despite
his liking for President
Eisenhower he could best
deal in the years to come
with Adlai Stevenson.
Mr.. Khrushchev has pub
licly insulted Mr.. Eisenhower.
Vice President Nixon, the
likely Republican nominee
for the presidency, is ana

room when the dictator
visited Washington. They
exchanged views and the top
Communist told Senator
johnson peevishly: II have
read most of your speeches
but have liked none"
The fact that the present
leading contender for the
Democratic nomination, Sen
ator Kennedy, stated soon
after Mr.. Khrushchev tor
pedoed the summit meeting
that President Eisenhower
should have expressed re-

the U-2 affair is said to have
made a pleasant impression
on the Red boss.
These political gymnastics
are sometimes attributed to-
Mr.. Khrushchev's need to let
off steam and to play to the

Democratic Senators Who Disagree
With Hondling of U-2 Are Scored

clares that President Eisen-
hover should have refused
to take responsibility for the
U-2 business and, instead,
should somehow have evaded
the truth. For, while Mr..
Eisenhower did not really
know in advance of the par
ticular flight on May /, he
did give general authorize
ton in advance and said so
to the American people and
the world. Yet Senator Full
bright says to the Senate:
"The gravest mistake was
when the President assumed
responsibility for the flight"
Senator Alexander Wiley
Of Wisconsin, ranking Re-
publican on the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, and Sem
ator Frank Lausche, Demo-
crat of Ohio, in a separate
report concurred in by five
Republican Senators, rebutted
this same point as follows:
Conditions following the
May / flight having developed
as they did, it was unavoid-
able for the President to make
a statement with regard to
it. If he had to make a state
ment, he had to state the
truth. Moreover, If he had
not told the truth by avoid
ing personal responsibility,
the four demands Khrush-
chev made upon him in Paris
would not have been altered"
But what is puzzling are
the contradictions in the
main report, which frankly
says that "the sort of in
formation provided by the u
2 is of enormous value in
assessing Soviet capability
to mount a surprise attack"
and then argues later on as
follows:
I'm looking back, If one &C
cepts the conclusion that the
failure Of the mission fur
nished an excuse for Khru-
shchev's wrecking of the
summit conference, then, in
the absence Of compelling
reasons to the contrary, there
is good reason to conclude
that the flight should not
have gone."
But the Secretary Of De-
fense says the reasons were
