G.O.P. FACTIONALISM RISES
One surprising thing about the current Washington
scene is that the Republicans in congress are handling
Eisenhower's cabinet members just as roughly as they
handled Truman's official advisors after they won control
of the congressional committees in 1946.
Several cabineteers have felt the power of unfriendly
solons on Capital Hill. Wilson was put on the pan and
lorcea to sell his General Motors stock. Benson has been
under fire repeatedly for his farm policies. Weeks, the
commerce secretary, faces a searching probe for ousting
the chief of the bureau of standards. Durken, the labor
secretary, is hardly listened to at all.
But possibly most serious of all because foreign policy
is so crucial, is the rapid deterioration of relations between
Secretary of State Dulles and the senate, which plays top
role in foreign policy because it must ratify treaties.
McCarthy's one man war on Dulles has been amply pub
t licized, but McCarthy is getting plenty of help from other
senators, some on tne foreign relations committee, sucn
as Mundt of South Dakota, Bridges of New Hampshire
and Ferguson of Michigan. These Republican senators
object because Dulles hasn't made a house cleaning at the
state department, but has left in office hundreds of offi
cials who were there during the Truman-Acheson regime.
iney have summoned Dulles before them for question
Ing and will question him further. If he fights back they
may trim his appropriation. If he doesn't he will lose
prestige at home and abroad. And the senate may pass
the Bricker proposal to hamstring the treaty making
power oi the administration.
In short, the Eisenhower administration seems in for
rough treatment from its own party members in congress,
which are evidently out to provide the Democrats with
plenty of ammunition for the 1954 campaign.
Up to a point a searching, critical attitude in congress
is to be applauded, as a welcome change from the "me
too attitudes of the past. But a fractious, obstructive
attitude can only discredit the whole Republican setup, in
congress as well as in the administrative departments, and
bring the Democrats back into power sooner than they
snoum alter their ZO-year tenure.
EISENHOWER'S CHALLENGE
President Eisenhower's challenge to Russia to show
that it really wants world peace it has been mumbling
about to prove their will for peace by ending the Korean
war, luting tne iron uurtain from satellite countries and
joining a world disarmament pact that would outlaw
atomic warfare. It has had a favorable reaction all over
the world except in communist countries. Even there the
reception is less vitriolic than customary.
Even if Russia rejects the Eisenhower peace proposals,
which is probable, he has won a psychological victory. He
has taken the peace initiative from Soviet Premier George
m. Maientcov, called his hand and put it up to the Krem
lin to take the next step. If Russia stalls, the allies can
use Ike's offer for world propaganda against communism.
There is not much optimism that the Kremlin will
accept for hitherto Russia has blocked most such starts
to peace and disarmament since the creation of the United
Nations, and is still blocking an Austrian peace treaty
and unification of Germany and renewing Red pressure
in Southern Asia. But recently surprise reversals of
some of Stalin's policies by Malenkov, as in Korea, give
some hope of at least partial cooperation.
It may be that the struggle for power in the Kremlin
among Stalin's successors, and popular opinion in Russia
will force other concessions but time alone will tell. There
.. cannot be much enthusiasm in the Kremlin for Eisenhow
er's proposal to use the money saved on arms, and spend it
for raising the standards of living in backward and de
pressed areas on a world scale, for the communists depend
on hunger and discontent to spread their cause by infiltra
tion, propaganda, tyranny and perpetuate it by bloody
purges.
The Kremlin all along has rejected measures proposed
for peace and disarmament and isolation, though promot
ing fake peace talks and little action and there is no indi
cation of abandoning world conquest for communism.
The Eisenhower address was the finest he has yet made
and if it secures Russian cooperation for peace, will rank
high in history, for it reflects the hopes of the American
goverment and people.
BRITISH CUT INCOME TAXES
While the United States is talking about an income
tax reduction the British have gone ahead and done it
with slashes ranging from five to 17 per cent, effective
with the fiscal year that began April 1.
The purchase tax, which is the same as our sales tax,
has been reduced 25 per cent. This levy was far hieher
than any ever levied in the U.S. on what the Britons re
gard as luxury goods, autos; radios, T-V sets, refrigerators
and the like. The purpose was to discourage purchase
as much as to raise revenue.
The British had become under Labor rule the highest
taxed people on earth and their Conservative opponents
have continued the setup with little change until now,
because the government was hard pressed for revenue.
Announced purpose of the reduction is to encourage
people to work harder and riBk more by allowing them
to keep a little larger slice of what they produce. The
British tax was clearly retarding initiative, both by indi
viduals and corporations. Workers were reluctant to
accept overtime, which usually put them into a higher
tax bracket People with money said "what's the use?"
and let it lie idle, since the government would take most
of the return anyway.
Britain has gone lartncr tnan the Un ted Statm n
socializing incomes, and has suffered the inevitable re
sult, drying up of initiative. So it was natural that Brit
ain would draw back once the effects were clear. It now
remains for us to do the same thing, but congress better
get our national expenses ana receipts into line first.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Ike Went to One Party
That Wasn't Publicized
BY DREW PEARSON
Washington President Els
enhower has attended only two
private parties since he took
office; one the much-publicized
reception at the home of Sen
ator Taft, the other an unpub-
llclzed party at the Fort Myer
home of Gen. Omar Bradley
where he met five famous
godchildren. They were:
D wight Elsenhower Marx,
Omar Bradley Marx, George
Marshall Marx Bedell Smith
Marx, and Rosey O'Donnell
Marx. ... All are children of
toy manufacturer Louis Marx,
who named them after five
famous generals of the army.
The godfathers were present
at the Bradley home to greet
their godchildren. . . . Contrary
to some reports, Ike is not a
stockholder in the Marx Toy
company, though he did invest
in the CharmaU Lipstick com
pany, organized by Marx after
the war. The Investment did
not prove a bonanza.
Scared Pat McCarran Rus
sell- Forbes, acting general
services administrator, who so
badly wants the Job of perman

democrat from Tampa who's
been trying to make the Ike-
ites think he's an adopted re
publican. One of his first acts
was to fire Mrs, A. Mitchell
Palmer, one of two surviving
widows of the Woodrow Wilson
cabinet. . . . Ex-Sen. Harry
Cain of Washington got to be
such a nuisance calling at the
White House that Ike finally
appointed him to a short term
on the subversives board. . . .
Estimates of married midship

80 to 200. Midshipmen are

Sen. Pat McCarran Is so
scared that young Tom Mech

ator Malone, will run against
him, that McCarran's political
cohorts have passed a special
bill aimed at barring Mechling
from holding office in Nevada.
It prohibits anyone from hold
