Considerable Federal help in

be "the carrot on a stick" that

clared yesterday.
Patrick Mclaughlin, recently

tative to negotiate a regional

protection from the vaccine.
In another test of $50 children

SO per cent gained protection
when the vaccine was given in
three shots over two months.
The scientists reported that
the new vaccine is stable
enough to retain its strength
for a long time in storage.
They said that in testing the
vaccine's effectiveness they ex-
posed volunteers to weakened
live measles viruses. Coincident-
ally, a measles epidemic in the
area of the tests proved a
double check on the vaccine's
effectiveness.
At least 500 children die each
year in the United States from
measles. For others, it's after

Bipartisan Congress Coalitions

problems in common. irres-
pective of party, Just as mem
bers who represent urban
communities find themselves
looking at many questions
the same way. For this rea-
son it is not likely at any
time, no matter how powerful
a Presidents leadership or
how eloquent his words, that
there will be an exact rela-
tionship between a Presi-
dents strength and the votes
that he gets in Congress on
particular measures. After
all. a President may recon-
mend and suggest and urge
Congress to take a certain
line of action, but this does
not mean that each individ-
ual member of his party Con-
greSs will always agree with
him, no matter how much
that member may admire the
Chief Executive or wish to
help him advance his politi-
cal fortunes.
Perhaps the most pointed
quotation which is frequently
recalled in Washington is one
that is attributed to a GER
tain congressman of the Re-
publican party who was being
urged by a Republican Presi-
dent to help sustain the veto
of a soldiers bonus bill after
World War I. The member
of Congress listened atten-
lively to the Presidential
arguments and said that he
himself agreed in theory with
all of them-then added:
Unfortunately. Mr.. Presi-
dent, you do not vote in my
district"
So it has been over the
years a question more of what
the voters in each district or
State demand of their repre-
SentativeS in Congress rather
than the wisdom of a Chief
Executives recommendation
or the quality of a Presidents
leadership.
The American system pro-
vides for two independent
branches of Government, and
in a mid-term election
when the President, of course,
isn't running-members Of
Congress must stand alone
on their record. The real
victory or defeat is at the
polls.

will last until mid-1963 and
that further prediction is
impractical.
Nonetheless. there are those
who share Mr.. Clague's view,
which is based on a study
of the four recessions - one
in the Truman administra-
ton and three under Eisen-
hover - since World War
II. Their presently losing ar
gument is that it is unwise
to let the economy drift any
further without a strong
stimulant.
The President, q student
Of Economist John Kenneth
Galbraith at Harvard, is
showing a studious, consists
ent interest in all phases Of
the economy. Mr.. Galbraith,
author of The Affluent So
ciety and The Great Crash;
is now Ambassador TO India,
but is frequently called into
consultation as situations
arise. He is expected to be
on hand for the 1864 cam
paign and its preliminaries.
In this field the President
likes to plan. His recent pred
eceSSors relied more on the
immediate advice of business
experts or on their political
instincts. Franklin Roosevelt
did not hesitate to improvise
but he was, of course, faced
with disaster.
It is hard to imagine the
wryly humorous and ration
al Kennedy in a give-'em-hell
campaign. 1t is simply not
his style. He is not impulsive
and he is emotional only
about personal attacks on
Kennedys. Yet his tax aims
are heading him in the direc-
ton Of a genuine and brutal
power struggle which would
force him to identify the
enemy.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Conservatives, Liberals Seen Forming
Moiorities by Uniting Across Party Lines

When the farm bill was
voted down by a very close
margin in the House of Rep
reSentatives the other day,
the word was spread far and
wide that the President had
suffered a defeat" Then,
when the administrations
new foreign trade bill was
passed by the House by a
substantial margin, the event
was described as a big "vic-
tory" for Mr.. Kennedy.
But, actually, in an issue as
complex as the farm problem
and with so many varying
interests involved, it can
hardly be said that the YER
dict on this measure was
clear-cut for either side. The
vote did, Of course, reveal a
negative trend-the feeling
that governmental controls of
farm production are question:
able. But. aside from the
merits of this particular issue,
it cannot be assumed under
the American system Of gov
eminent that a President has
been defeated" just because
a measure he has recon-
mended to Congress is not
passed.
The converse Is also true.
The national legislature has
not been defeated" when a
President vetoes q measure
that has received one less
than a two-thirds majority
Of both houses. The Con-
stitution plainly provides for
a difference Of opinion be-
tween the executive and the
legislative branches of the
Government.
What is lacking today, to
be sure, is party responsible
ity in the same sense in
which it is usually exercised
under a parliamentary sys-
tenn. In Europe, If a Prime
Minister makes a proposal to
Parliament and it is denied
by q substantial vote of his
own party, the point is some
times but not always made
that "a vote of confidence"
has been withheld. At times
this brings about a general
election in which the people
decide whether to support the

Prime Minister or the Parlia-
ment.
In America today there are
not Just two parties but
really four segments of polit-
ical division. In the case Of
the farm bill. there were at
least a half-dozen factions
involved on both sides. On
the foreign trade bill, a large
number Of Republicans
joined the Democrats in vot-
ing for the measure. 1t
wasn't really a partisan vote
at all.
Under a system of So
called responsible govern
ment," where the executive
and legislative branches are
united, it is not so difficult
to fix responsibility for cleav-
ages that occur. In the
United States, however, the
tendency in recent years has
been for coalitions" to be
formed from the membership
of both parties. In fact, ever
since New Deal days, conSer-
vatives within the Demo-
cratic Party have often
united with conservatives in
the Republican Party to form
a majority in Congress.
Since the Democrats OBJ
tanned virtually a two-thirds
majority in both Houses in
1860, there has been a feeling
that perhaps the coalition
would weaken and that it
might even be wiped out by
the election in 1862 of more
so-called liberals" in both
the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties in the North.
The votes in the last few
weeks in Congress, however,
have tended to support the
theory that the coalition is
still as strong as ever. Presi-
dent Kennedy limited at his
news conference last week
that he may campaign on
this issue this autumn.
One of the reasons, how
ever. why bipartisan coali-
tons are natural in Congress
is that there are diversified
interests throughout the
country. Congressman from
rural districts have many
