New Ambassador McGhee Regarded

Britain from the Continent

isolation which would inevi-

the United States to give the
Europeans some participation

decade and more has kept
the peace by its deterrent
strength.

Recent Steel Fluctuations Viewed

In the field Of party poll
tics, where he was expected
to be strong, President Ken
nedy is in trouble. His coun-
ter-attack on his critics at
this weeks press conference
shows that he knows 1t.
Democrats seeking election
in 1864. particularly those
in the Senate class Of 1858,
want q big and continuing
dose of partisanship served
up to the voters by the adj
ministration from now to
next November. II the Presi-
dent feels inhibited in this
regard, they would settle
though grudgingly-for an
aggressive, star-quality ma
tional committee manage
ment.
In q way, this is reminis-
cent of the complaints Re-
publicans leveled at Presi-
dent Eisenhower. They NUT
tered that President Eisen-
hover, personally secure, did
nothing to halt the progress
sive deterioration Of the par
ty organization.
But Gen. Eisenhower's sit
uation was different from
Mr.. Kennedy's. Gen. Eisen-
hover could count on Demo-
cratic cooperation. Presi-
dent Kennedy can't. Indeed.
Republican defiance is strong
and doing nicely, what with
Cuba and the tagging rate OF
national growth which has
led the President to consent
to q huge deficit in order to
