WILSON United Prtts Correspondent Washington (U.R) The hon eymoon of the Republican Eisen hower administration with the-p,-,,.--:,. a4tn Congress haa gone "phhttt" and the unhap py parties are hiking for the divorce court. Theirs was a shotgun asso ciation, at best a marriage of n e c e s sity, One of those strange bedfel- Lrfe C. Wilson low things Seven weeks ago today Presi o dent Eisenhower was delivering to a genial Congress his annual message on the state of the na 15 tion and paused to utter a birth' " day greeting to and shake the hand of the venerable speaker 8 Sam Rayburn, Mr. Democrat himself. All of that was before .the eyes and for the ears of multi-million television audi , ence. Th President arofnllv Tia .'oeen avoiding directly aggres sive action against Democrats e millions of whom he hopes to pntir intn ihe RrmWiian Parfw . - J by 1956. Rayburn Gave Assist It is only a matter of days ago that President Eisenhower gently was rebuking the bubbly partisanship of Republican Na tional Committee members as- sembled here - with a reminder that the enemy of the republic is Russian Communism, not the Democratic party. And, about that time, . Rayburn was .in the well of the House of Renresenta. tives to save by' a hair-line de cision the reciprocal trade bill which is held by the President e to be a vital part of his overall foreign policy. The speaker does not often go to the well to join . in debate. It was a mighty ges ture and friendly from one Dem ocrat, to one Republican. And, back there in last year's general election campaign, it was Mr. Eisenhower who put limits on the extent to which Vice-President Richard M. Nixon could develop his theme that the Democrats over a period of 20 years had been soft and gullible on Communism. j f Ik Gets Facts ' " ;H The facts of political life are I ' ; 1 r - ' FIRE WIPES OUT FAMILY .A neighbor bends over dying Glenn Hadl at Lawrence, Kan., to hear him say that his family is still in the burning house. Hadl's wife and 22-months-old daughter also died in the fire that followed an explosion. Baroness Offers To Sell Title Chicago U.R) A destitute Baroness offered in a want ad today to sell her title "so I can live out the rest of my years decently." The 81-year-old Baroness Lina right now. The principal facts are these: Rayburn and his Dem ocrats expect Mr. Eisenhower to seek a " second term. They count him as the most dangerous candidate the Republicans could put up. They seek now to cut him down to size by mauling his domestic program on taxes and other basic issues.. Much of this may come as a surprise ; to -the President who entered office with what appear ed to be a vague idea that Demo crats -were, tame and friendly fellows at heart, incapable of playing politics. That is a long way from the barbed accusation at Wednesday's news conference that Rayburn , and company reached the heights of irresponsi bility in the -important field of government finance, taxation and currency stabilization. Sharp words get sharp answers and the Democratic leaders did not try to hide the bitterness with which they heard Mr. Eisen hower's comment. There is not much personal in this so far, as,, for instance, be tween Rayburn and the Presi dent. But . that may come in unfolding before Mr. Eisenhower time. Von Lamezan Marimbois indi cated that she hates to part with her title, but needs the cash. The widow lives alone in a small cottage where the plumb ing is faulty. She does all her own housework. Actually, the Baroness said, she dislikes the idea of an out right "sale" of her title. She would prefer to find a person or family she could "adopt" for a cash consideration. bucn an "adoption, she ex plained, would keep the title in her own "family." There was a time, she : said, when she lived on Chicago's fashionable Gold Coast with her titled husband. But sha'said she went bankrupt - during the de pression. . The Baroness said she was born in 1873 in the Hartz Moun tain area of Germany. "Our farm is still there and is run by my nephew," she said. "But I can't go back because the . Communists have taken it over." . EX-SOLON DIES New Bern, N. C. (U.R) Fun eral services will be held here tomorrow for former Rep. Charles L. Abernethy (D-N.C.) who died at a hospital yesterday after several years of illness. He was 82. Lawyer Munches Glass Sandwiches Hollywood (UP) Atty Ray mond G. Sianbury, defense coun sel for a restaurant owned by screen star Esther Williams and her husband Ben Gage, won his case Wednesday by sprinkling bits of broken glass on a piece of bread and calmly munching the "sandwich." plaintiff Ward E. Willicutt, 42, an industrial engineer, asking $51,239 damages for internal in juries suffered when he in advertently swallowed bits of glass in a dish of ice cream at the cafe. Stanbury downed four of the "sandwiches" to prove the plain tiff could not have been serious ly, injured. Harlan Opposed For Judgeship Washington U.PJ Sen. Olin D. . Johnston said today he op poses confirmation of John Mar shall Harlan as a Supreme Court Justice because he fears Harlan would put the United Nations above the United States. The South Carolina Demo crat, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced his opposition as the committee began hearings on President Eisenhower's nomination of Har lan. The sessions were closed to the press and public. Harlan was nominated by Pres ident Eisenhower last fall. Ob jections caused the Senate to defer action on the nomination during its special session de voted to censure proceedings against Sen. Joseph , R. Mc Carthy (R-Wis.). The objections included pro tests that Harlan had been a Rhodes Scholar, that he had been associated with the Atlantic Union Movement and that he was inexperienced. Nominated to succeed the late Justice Rob ert H. Jackson, Harlan is serv ing on the Circuit Court of Ap peals in New York under an appointment by President Eisenhower.
