that Of the President.
More than ever will be ex-
pected Of him. Yet party dis
cipline is harder to enforce
on large majorities than on
narrow ones. Democrats will
tend also to believe that Mr..
Kennedy is so popular their
individual actions do not
matter too much.
The election proved that
the Presidents great resource
is the American people. They
trusted his foreign policy
when it was cautious and
when it turned hard. Few
elections have been thus
fought amid imminent risk
of hot war, but it was all
done quietly with voter gen.
erosity toward the response
BILE administration. This
ought to relieve some Of the
Democratic neurosis about
being the war party, a ia
vorite Republican gambit.
Yet no President can de-
vote himself to foreign policy
alone. The country has
shown an awareness Of the
changing world and he will
be expected to handle it at
home as we'll as abroad.
In his deliberations, the
President can take comfort

President Kennedy did not
get his wish. He campaigned
harder than any other Chief
Executive in history to get an
increased majority of his
party in both Houses of Con-
gress, but the voters did not
grant his request.
The coalition Of conserva-
tive Republicans and Dem
ocrats, therefore, remains in
control of both houses. Radi-
calism is checked again. Bush
: ness can breathe easier. For,
If the Democrats had made
substantial gains in both
Houses of Congress, the stock
market would have broken
badly and there would have
been predictions of a deeper
recession in 1868 than now is
anticipated.
All the talk of met gains"
= by fundamentally putting
together the Senate and
House victories of the DEM
ocrats = doesn't alter the
fact that 1t needs only a coal
ition in one House to block
radical legislation. This bar
rier exists more firmly today
than ever before against I'M
sound fiscal policies and
proposals which, if enacted,
would discourage and retard
business progress.
In fact, it would not be
surprising if 1864 finds Pres
ident Kennedy campaigning
with a less liberal and more
conservative strategy than he
followed in 1860.
Gov. Rockefeller of New
York, who won reelection,
may be President Kennedy's
opponent now that former
Vice President Nixon is out
of the running. But, to get
the nomination, Gov. Rookie
Teller will have to convince
the conservatives who domi-
nate the Republican Party
that he is basically a con-
sentative on business and fis-
cal matters. The Republicans
may consider this more i'm
portant than anything else.
There is, however, always
the possibility of a third par
ty made UP Of conservatives
from both the Republican
and Democratic parties, and
this could mess up the pic
ture for the Republicans and
assure the reelection of

Conservative Coalition in Both Parties
Called Still in Control in CONGRESS

President Kennedy. In Cali
fornia, Mr.. Nixon lost largely
because he failed to win the
full support Of the conServa-
tive Republicans. M any
didn't go to the polls.
The elections for Governor
generally had no national
significance except that the
Republicans gained a num-
Der of those State houses in
big States with large cleo
toral votes. The newly elect
ed Republican Governors can
help their party in an or
ganizational sense.
Looking across the coun-
try at the congressional con-
tests, it is evident that Dem
ocrats in many areas had a
difficult time getting re-
elected. Majorities were con-
siderably reduced in many
places. In Alabama, for in
stance, the Democrat, Sena-
tor Hill, won by a narrow
margin. In q big State like
Illinois, Senator Dirksen, the
Republican minority leader,
won out, and Kentucky again
returned a Republican Sena-
tor. The Democratic victory
in New Hampshire was due to
a factional fight inside the
Republican Party.
It is true that in Indiana
Senator Capehart, of the
conservative school, lost, but
here the labor-union vote is
all-powerful. It is significant
that the popular Abraham
Ribicoff, Democrat, had a
relatively small margin of
victory in Connecticut in his
race for the Senate, and that
Senator Joseph Clark, Demo-
crat, in Pennsylvania didn't
have as easy a victory as he
did before.
Basically off-year elections
turn mostly on local issues.
When President Franklin D.
Roosevelt increased his ma
jority in both Houses in his
first off-year. election 1894
he felt that the Nation had
given him a vote of conf
dence. In the next off-year
election in 1888, however,
when the Democrats lost q
number Of seats, Mr.. Roose-
welt told his press conference
that congressional elections
in off-years are usually de-
cided on local issues"

Between January and June

timony. The committee was
created after charges by
Senator Strom Thurmond, Of
South Carolina, that the Ma
TONS military leaders were
being muzzled in their anti
Communist statements and
that military educational
programs were not strongly
anti Communist. The South
Carolinian had made such
charges in support of similar
ones made by then Maj. Gen.
Edward A. Walker. Gen.
Walker later resigned. He was

ZURICH. - Has Premier
Khrushchev committed an
objectionable miscalcula-
ton? Here in Zurich. where
financial interests consider
world political developments
of vital Importance to busi-
ness, there is serious specu-
lation on the Red dictator's
future after his mishandling
Of the Cuban affair.
1t is believed that there is
q serious ferment in the
Moscow hierarchy since Mr..
Khrushchev suffered a blow
unprecedented in the history
of Soviet dictators. Those ac-
quainted with Kremlin court
intrigues, surmise that he
may be on the way out in a
quiet, unspectacular manner
-probab bly, through ell
health" That is, unless the
United States commits the
major mistake of backing
down in some other area
where the Red dictator may
try to restore his badly dent
ed prestige.
The story as pieced togeth-
er, not only here but also in
other Western European Cen
tiers, is that Mr.. Khrushchev
has had his own way with
his powerful military leaders
so long as he did not push
matters to a missile war. Up
to now he has achieved far
more spectacular victories for
the Soviet Union and COM
munism than all his prede-
cessors due to the weak land
only vocal opposition from
the United States.
The heads Of the Russian
armies who are repeatedly
powerfully entrenched - not
as individuals but as heads
of services - have given Mr.
Khrushchev a free hand in
missile rafting. But as has
been pointed out in this col
umn before, he was warned
not to go beyond the brink
According to knowledgeable
sources, the generals did moi

of Pigs affair in April, 1861
There was no positive actor
when the Berlin Wall was

But what was even more

administration would no
fight, regardless of provoca

sile power would only be use,
in retaliation for a missil
attack. These reports cam

In a dictatorship there is
no room for major mistakes
by the dictators. Hitler made
his major blunderS after the
war was started and the
country was fully engaged in
fighting. But in the Cuban
affair, the Russian military
realized that there was still
time for retreat. And Mr..
Khrushchev was told to back
down, regardless of the dam
age to his face.

Broadway play of long ago
was called. The question is

SNOW PLAN CRITICIZED
Early Quitting Time
Called UneconomicoI

Washington officials were
criticized today for sending
Federal employees home when
severe snowstorms are forecast.
The criticism was voiced by
some members of the North
east Conference on Urban Snow
Removal meeting at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel. The conference
ends tomorrow afternoon.
Samuel S. Baxter, water
commissioner of Philadelphia,
said that instead of sending
employees home when a snow
storm is forecast, Washington
should purchase more snow re-
moval equipment and keep the
employees on the job to save
thousands of dollars in lost
time.
William Xanten, superin-
tendent of sanitation for the
District, replied: I'VE think
it wise to lose a couple of hours
of employees time in sending
them home ahead of a threat
ened snowstorm in order to
allow us to get the streets in
shape after the storm and
when traffic has been cleared
from the streets"
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke, co-chairman of
the two-day meeting, said: II
