The measure of success lies in ; the considerable degree of personal prestige which he has retained since his inauguration on Jan. 20. 1953. and the attitude of Democrats toward him. Democrats generally regard Mr.. Eisenhower as the most for- midable Republican opponent ranged against them in nearly 30 years. Most would prefer to see some other Republican nom inated for president in 1956. The President's next two years in office will test severe ly the stability of his personal prestige and the wisdom of his political judgement. . .The Eis enhower success story was cruel ly marred last November by a hair-line shift of congressional control to the Democratic party. Got Much from 83rd Congress The Republican 83rd Congress gave Mr. Eisenhower much that he sought in his first two years, usually on a compromise basis. But the administration fairly can claim success on tax legis lation, farm price supports, St. Lawrence Seaway, subversive control, foreign aid (although somewhat reduced), atomic en ergy, and other such major bus iness. - - :-- But some of the early Eisen hower program was too hot for the Republican 83rd to handle.

The bill is similar to one in troduced by SenPJiil-Brady at Portland in the 1953 session. It died in committee after being vigorously- opposed by the rail-roads-and- Ichampioned by:, the truck and barge line operators.
