British Facing Prospect of Chilly

Christmas was brought home to
Britons today with the imposition
of oil rationing.
Orders went out to cut motorists
down to a basic 200 miles of driv

their gas-diesel oil supplies cut by
a third, their fuel oil by a fourth.
But all the news was not bad.
The government announced it will

Speaker at the Salem Knife and
Fork Club Monday night was Sen.
Karl Mundt of South Dakota. In
discussing the current political
trend the senator described it as
both parties crowding the center
line of the political highway. Dif
ference between 4he two big par
ties are now minimal. Voter deci
sions turn on personalities rather
than political philosophies. This
situation will change, he pre
dicted; by . 1960 there will be
cleavage over issues. He was not
very positive what the divisive is
sues would be, but he mentioned
the familiar -one of greater -or less
centralization of power in federal
government.
It is very true that American
political forces since about 19.17
have been centripetal rather than
centrifugal an avoidance of ex
tremes and a pressing toward the
center. Democrats have disclaimed
radicalism, and Republicans have
denied they were forces of reac
tion.' Nobody has been talking
about making America over.
Party philosophies have not been
sharply divergent, the difference
being mainly one of emphasis.
Tariff-free trade, internationalism
isolationism sound vs soft money
the battle lines on these old is
sues have become fluid as between
the parties. Some may think our
two-party system is in decay: yet
the attempts to redraw political
lines as between radicals and con
servatives fails to get off the
ground, the latest ' failure being
that of the unnamed motley which
mustered behind T. Coleman -Andrews
for President. .
Actually, however, this is not a
new phenomenon in the. history of
American politics. For consider

'Intellectual'
Falls Heir to
British Regime
LONDON, Nov. 20 OP The reins
of the British government have
fallen temporarily into the. hands
of Richard Austen Butler, 54, a
frosty and precise intellectual
with a big ambition.
Butler aspires to be prime min
ister.
Butler, now Prime Minister Ed
en's top lieutenant, took over
some of his chief's duties and re
sponsibilities when Eden fell ill.
He may one day take over them
all.
If Eden retires the best opinion
at the moment is that there would
be a close race between Butler
and the chancellor of exchequer,
Harold Macmillan.
Butler is Lord Privy Seal and
government leader in the House
of Commons.
Despite his stature in the party,
Butler is something less than the
best loved of EAeh's deputies. He
is cold. If he were an American
politician, critics would call his
language high falutin'.
Sir Winston Churchill once
looked up from a Brtler
policy
document and quipped
Brilliant! 1 wonder how
would read in English."
LONDON. Nov. 20 ( Prime
Minister Eden is "utterly ex
hausted" but is not suffering from
any organic complaint, his par
liamentary private secretary said
tonight.
Eden underwent three opera
tions in 1953, the last one in Bos
ton, after being stricken by a
liver complaint.

Painting Worth
But It Still
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 Ufi -This
is the familiar story of an aban
doned painting suddenly reputed
to be a masterpiece, but with the
added twist that a woman doesn't
change her mind.
Music publisher Murray Sporn,
Westhury, N. Y., looking through
a closet in his home came across
an old painting that had been
handed down by his wife's family.
It was musty and covered with
so many coats of varnish one
could hardly tell whether it was
a landscape or a seascape. He
was attracted to it, though, and
suggested to his wife that they
hang it. She said no it was too
dark.

The headings are in what is called the Metro family of type

bines freshness with strength.
For some twenty years The Statesman ased the Bodonl series,
whuse original was designed by Giambattista Bod.nl (1740-1813).
Its characteristics are sharply contrasting heavy and light linn
and level serifs (the fine cross lines at the ends of letters). In the
Metro family there are no serifs and the weight of the lines is evea.
Headings on women's and feature pages are in the Stymie

these pages, too, the, graceful script Corona will also be
used. .' '".''

The federal government to

; The urgency was increased by ;
reports from San Francisco that

authorize a strike to support the
East Coast strike, or at least re -fuse
to work any East or Gulf
Coast ships. The vote is to be dis

President Eisenhower's admin

One of the courses would in

invoke the national emergency
provisions of the Taft-Hartley law.
These provide for an 80-day court
