Breakdown in Democratic Party

Senator Paul Douglas Of
Illinois, Democrat, who Is
regarded as one Of the pow
erfuI members Of the So
called liberal bloc. made a
significant comment in this
connection on the radio the
other day as he was being
interviewed by his fellow
Republican in the group,
Senator Kenneth Heating Of
New York. Senator Douglas
declared:
Nov the truth Of the mat
ter is that we have NOT two
parties in Congress, but four
parties. We have a liberal
Democratic Party, which is
overwhelmingly predominant
In the North and the West,
and a conservative Demo-
cratic Party, which is over
whelmingly predominant in
the South. And we have a
conservative Republican Par
ty, which Is overwhelmingly
predominant In most sections
Of the country with a small
but very fine liberal wing
largely confined to the
Northeastern States. This is
the basic difficulty. We have
q cleavage - a very great
cleavage - and most Of our
Southern Democrats vote
with the conservative Repub-
licans. 1t is this bipartisan
alliance-which I have called
the 'unholy alliance'-which
has dominated Congress for
"a years."
The. figure Of speech didn't,
however stand up too well
this week, as it was the
Northern liberals" and the
Southern conservatives who
Joined together in an alliance
to oppose the use of the
cloture rule which would ter
inmate the filibuster. Does
that prove that the so-called
liberals" and so-called CON
servatives" are really no diff
ferent under the skin? Or
does it prove that each case
stands alone and that basic
principles and party disci-
pline have become old-fash-
Toned in an era of irrespon-
sible government?

But it is not the merits Of
the issue which need be dis

is that President Kennedy is
finding out the hard way that
the professional liberals don't
stand hitched when the 60

that his really responsible

Liberals Viewed as Letting Themselves
Be Hitched to Senator Morse's Wooon

The true significance Of the
hberal-led Senate Democratic
filibuster against the ad-
ministration's space commu-
nications bill is far greater
than this bill. Involved is far
more than an attack upon
the Senate Democratic lead
ership and the Democratic
Party, itself.
The leaders of this pint
sized filibuster are only Incl
dentally hitting at a bill and
only incidentally at Senator
Mike Mansfield, the Demo-
cratic floor chief. Actually,
they are striking at President
John F. Kennedy, that Presi-
dent to whom they gave al
most hySterical support,
vocally that is - so long as
they were sure he was ahead.
There was a not-distant
time when they were in apo
plectic rage at any suggeS-
ton that there could posi-
bly, be anything wrong in the
best Of all possible Demo-
cratic worlds under Mr.. Ken
nedy.
But that time has gone, as
recent scenes on the Senate
floor have so clearly demon
strated. For what these lib
erals" have been assaulting
with shrill venom is not Mike
Mansfield's bill. 1t is a bill
sent forward by President
Kennedy, though with a BIZ
partisan backing so massive
that it passed the House of
Representatives by 354 to 8
and commands in the Sen
ate now the support Of the
entire Republican member
ship and at least three
fourths Of the Democratic
membership.

ers intent on blocking civil

everything depends on whose

Perhaps the most oft-re-
peated comment heard about
the plight Of the Senate is
that it misses Lyndon john
sons. leadership. AS Vice
President, he is not able to
do what he did as majority
leader. The story one hears is
that Mr.. Johnson used to
plead and cajole and deal
and deal" He had quite a re-
sourceful array of maneuvers
and, besides, was intimately
in touch with the late Speak
er Sam Rayburn so that,
when it was desirable to push
a legislative measure to the
front, the tall Texan could
accomplish that feat with a
few telephone calls across the
Capitol.
Senator Mike Mansfield,
the new majority leader, Is a
man of a different type. He
doesn't like some of the ma
chinations Of so-called prac-
tical politics. He likes to feel
that legislators should be
above tactics that appeal to
their materialistic senses. At
times he seems frustrated and
disappointed and like a man
who wishes he were not
called upon to make deals.
But. as the weeks go on,
the grievances pile up. Coin
cidentally, the White House
influence tends to fluctuate.
Also, whenever a Presidents
curve Of popularity in the
Gallup public-opinion polls
takes decided drop, Cong
ress seems somehow to exhi-
bit a more independent, or at
least a less subservient, at
titude toward the White
House emisSaries who spend
their time practicing the art
Of cajolery on Capitol Hill.

ON the surface, the Senate
Is In a state Of utter confu-
sion. Actually. it is rejecting
the breakdown Of the Demo-
cratic Party and q seeming
inability to follow the guild
ance or advice Of either the
President or the duly chosen
leaders Of the chamber.
theoretically, the row in
the Senate is about the bill
to let private companies de-
velop a communications sys-
TEN by using satellites like
Telstar. But the issue isn't
broad enough to cause all the
hullabaloo it has in the last
few days. President Kennedy
is for the measure, and it
would be passed by an over
whelming majority II it could
be brought to a vote. For,
after all, there is as good q
reason why telephone service
by satellites should be leIt in
the hands Of private COM
panieS, subject as usual to
Government regulation of
rates, as there Is for tele-
phone communication by pri-
vate companies to be main
tanned, as it is. under the sea
or by direct radio.
The bill to deal with the
satellite system of telephone
communication has, however,
afforded an excuse for an
outbreak by the so-called
liberals. Among them there
is no real solidarity or even
any excessive amount Of po-
litical virtue. Some are sore
because President Kennedy
isn't channeling enough
money to their States in an
election year. Some are up
set about legislative meas
ures for which they want a
preference that they are not
getting. On the whole, it
seems strange to see a fill
buster conducted by those
who like to feel that the term
liberal" applies to them. For
they have hitherto con-
demned it as the merely un-

to you readers The stocks of two

NIXON'S RACE

Former Vice President Richard Nixon
is in what most observers now agree is a
real horse race for the governorship of what
is soon to be the biggest state in the nation
California.
When Mr.. Nixon first announced as a
candidate the polls Gall of them) showed
that he had a nice lead over his major foe,
Governor Ed Brown. But the latest polls
show that the Democratic Governor has
pulled up to within a very close position of
the former Republican Vice President.
The entire nation is interested in this
race for several reasons. One is that Mr..
NiXOn's entire future rests on its outcome.
Governor Brown could be defeated by the
enemy party's top man, the former presi-
Dental nominee, and this would not be con-
sidered the coup de grace
But if Mr. Nixon, who could again be-
come presidential candidate, is beaten in
his own state, in the lesser race for Cover
nor, he will almost certainly be finished as
a politician.
Governor Brown has opened up with
both barrels against the former Vice Presi-
dent. Since Mr.. Nixon has never been one
to faint in a ough-and-tumble race, he no
doubt is at home in the rugged give-and-
take that is developing.

the most are the airplance stocks.

largest, sold at $50 per share in

in 1856; but sells for less than $40
today. Eastern Air Lines sold at

are eight rules he followed in
achieving this success:
Don't test soil Use the same
old fertilizer grade that you've
used for the past 10 years.
Plow fields early when they are
wet and sticky. Be sure your
tractor is equipped with chains.
Don't check your corn planter
for accuracy 1t will probably do
as poorly this year as last.
Use a corn variety you heard
about at Lodge meeting last week.
Get the field planted as quickly
as possible, usually at a speed
greater than five miles per hour.
Don't use weed spray; it costs
money.
Cultivate often and late, and as
close to the corn as possible. Deep
cultivation will also help.
