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. '

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
