rr. Today and Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann KISElfHOWXR MOW AND 'SSized the Administration's per Walter Llppmmna Until very recently Mr. Ei senhower has acted like a man who, knowing his duty, is de termined t o grin and bear it. But in the past weeks he has been talk ing and acting with a kind of ease and good humor which no one can put on if he does not feel them I would not suppose that this is due to his having reached a decision, say about 1956. which takes a load off his mind. For the position of being able to take it or leave it in 1956, with so many begging him to take it, is a pleasant one ior any man to be in. It is also a Dosition of maximum political strength. It compels all the Re- oublicans. except the McCarthy splinter, to toe the line, and it keeps the Democrats oil balance for the Presidential contest. The most probable explana tion of "why he is enjoying his office is that, like the rest of us, he likes his work when things so welL He liked his work least, so it appeared to me, just be fore he extricated himself from the dilemma into which he had fceen maneuvered over those wretched off - shore islands. And ever since the Austrian treaty, there has been no mistaking his feelings that while Mr. Dulles, with his sterner conscience, still won't let him hope for much, he does not now have to fear the worst. - With prosperity and peace, the winds and the tides of poli tics are with him, and he is an enormously popular as well as a successful President. ASSUMING that he allows him self to be drafted, the most interesting question about 1956 is whether the people will vote to keep the present combination of Eisenhower and a Democratic Congress. I do not think it is any exaggeration to say that Mr. Eisenhower's success as Presi dent began when Republicans lost control of Congress and of the standing committees. In his first two years he suffered an almost unbroken record of frus tration and of domination by the senior Republicans, and particu larly the Republican committee chairmen, in the Senate. . They invaded, knocked about, infiltrated, smeared and terror- sonnel to the verge of paralysis and demoralized. Worse than that, they terrorized some of the highest officials of the Eisen hower Cabinet into countenanc ing, and indeed participating in, acts of injustice as in the Op penheimer, Davies, Ladejinsky cases which will not soon be forgotten. Most dangerously of all, they held the President and Secretary Dulles captive and on so short a string that the ef fective' control of foreign policy was in the hands of a few Sena tors. WHE . reaction to these dark doings set. in before the Con gressional election of 1954. But the defeat of the Republican chairmen, and the demotion of Sen. Knowland from the post of leader of the Senate, have been decisive in making it possible for Mr. Eisenhower to be a suc cessful President. The President has recovered the control, or at least the right and power to control, the integ rity and the security of the executive department. The in justices that have been done have not been righted. But there is a disposition to think twice before heading into any more big witch hunts. Since the new Congress came to Washington, the President has slowly but surely recovered con trol of the conduct of foreign policy. With all the Democrats and about half the Republicans behind him, there has been no chance for Sen. Knowland, or for the China war party, not to speak of McCarthy, to dominate the President no chance, that is to say, unless Peiping did something sufficiently provoca tive to give Chiang the oppor tunity to entangle us. This did not happen. An important rea son why it did not happen was that the Administration had re covered control of foreign policy and was able to use diplomacy in Peiping and in Formosa. I do not think they could have used diplomacy of this kind in 1953 and 1954. TF Mr.' Eisenhower decides to run again, one of his big head aches will come from the fact that as party leader he must work for a Republican Congress and frown upon the Democrats. Yet as President he needs a Democratic Congress. I know that it is looking very far into the unknbwri future to say this. But it looks to me that in a sec ond term Mr. Eisenhower would need a Democratic Congress at least as much, perhaps even more, than he needs it today. For in his second term there would be a long and hard Re publican struggle for the suc cession in 1960, there being no obvious candidate to follow Ei senhower. The senior Republi cans in the Congress, who are the great powers in the Re publican party organization, are opposed to the general tendency of the program of the Eisen hower wing of the Party. Yet in the next few years the coun try will need domestic policies and measures which are more and not less progressive . than those that the President has as yet ventured to propose. The President complained yesterday about the legislation which the Democratic Congress has not en acted. Nevertheless, for the progressive measures which the new President will need to pro pose, a Democratic Congress will be needed. THE growth of our population is great and rapid almost explosive as compared with the capacity of many of our public services. The country is out growing its educational system, its hospital and health facilities, its road system, its parks, and many of its other public facili ties. They will demand public investment and public support at a much higher level than we now regard as normal. This sup port will require Federal aid, For only the Federal govern ment has the capacity to raise the necessary revenues. The Federal aid will have to be on a much larger scale than we now are used to. There will, moreover, be lit tle prospect, and we must sup pose that there will be no war rant for the reduction of military expenditures. We shall be able to postpone, but not for very long, going up to this new pla teau of Federal expenditure. For schools, hospitals, ; roads, and housing are not luxuries. In a modern democratic urban socie ty, such 'as ours, they are neces sities which cannot for long be neglected. In the years to come the demand for them will be critical.

Curi osity, alas,- is my undoing. My primitive ancesters roamed Asia and Europe but today I am confined to the lower half of a continent. Because of our soci ability, we usually gather in herds of a half-dozen up to 70 or so. A female may baby-sit a half-dozen youngsters. A spotted bull, heading up a herd, may weigh two tons. My dark brown eyes, shaded j by long black lashes, project far from my skull enabling me to see behind without turning my head. My hair is short and smooth, and I have a short mane and a rather silly tuft on the end of my long tail which I switch languidly. My color, red dish brown marked off by white borders, looks almost like mortar between brickwork. I can lope at 30 miles an hour. When called upon, I can deliver a smashing blow with my head which has rudimentary horns (see illustration) and I can rain out a storm of terrific kicks some say, in four directions at the same time.

SmcawJ , Editorial Comment THE SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL One of the delightful ways to enjoy an August vacation this year would be to take in the Shakespeare festival at Ashland. This festival, originated by Prof- Angus Bowmer, head of the drama department of Southern Oregon College at Ashland, has been made one of the great events of American drama. The plays are presented outdoors with stage and properties faith fully reproducing those of Shake speare's lifetime. , Rehearsals have already been begun, and Prof. Margery Bailey of the Stanford drama depart ment has again been engaged to cooperate in the direction of the plays. Albany people who have attended in previous years speak highly of the Ashland event. Meanwhile, a new book has provided us with a variant of the old Shakespeare-Bacon au thorship controversy. Chris tppher (Kip) Marlowe is now suggested as the author. By this time, no prospect of getting any decisive new information on the subject, this comes under the head of "so-what". stuff. "The play's the thing," as Shakespeare, Bacon or Marlowe or whoever it was, so aptly said; and for our purposes right now another quo tation of the sixteenth-century bard, "What's in a name?" seems to fit the case. Shakespeare lov ers will like the Ashland festi val. Albany Democrat-Herald. WISE DECISION IN JACKSON COUNTY In refusing to indorse the pro posal for a dog track near Ash land the Jackson county court stated that such track would not be in the county's best interest. It was a wise and considered decision, and should be fully re spected by the state racing com mission which makes the deci sion on the application. Much could be said about money lost in gambling unpro ductive money and of dangers and problems that always arise when there is gambling. The court summed it up nicely with, "not in the county's best inter est." That's correct! Oregon Journal, Portland.
