calls, according to Congressional
Quarterly's annual analysis of
Party Unity voting.
That's slightly below the par
tisanship level of election year
1956. when 50 per cent of the
roll calls produced splits be
tween the parties. But it is well
above the 35 per cent figure for
partisan roll calls in the last
non-election year, 1955.
The Democrats, with majori
ties in both House and Senate,
won 60 of 97 tests that pitted
a majority of one party against
a majority of the other in 1957.
Their two-seat advantage in the
Senate gave them 20 wins in
37 tries in that chamber. With
a 32-seat edge in the House, they
won 39 of 60 partisan show
downs. Party splits, individual defec
tions and absences were re
sponsible for the Democrats los
ing on the other test votes. The
same factors also cost the Re
publicans some victories.
Local Scores
The average Republican Sena
tor backed his party's stand on
these partisan roll calls 69 per
cent of the time and opposed
it 16 per cent of the time. The
average Senate Democrat sup
ported his party's side of the
argument 66 per cent of the
time and opposed it 18 per cent
of the time. Absences accounted
for the remaining votes.
Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D)
backed his party's stand on 74
per cent of the test roll calls,
and opposed it on 11 per cent.
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D)
voted with his party's majority
68 per cent of the time and
against it 29 per cent of the
time.
In the House, the average Re
publican backed the party stand
on 67 per cent of the partisan
roll calls and opposed it on 22
per cent. For the average Demo
cratic Representative, the figures
were 70 per cent Support and
19 per cent Opposition.
Rep. Charles O. Porter (D)
voted with his party's majority
81 per cent of the time and op
posed it 3 per cent of the time
on 1957's partisan roll calls.
The most consistent support
for the party positions came
from the Midwest Republicans
and western Democrats. Those
most often opposed to their
party's stands were the eastern
Republicans and southern Demo
crats. Knowland Lists
Major UN Defects
New York (IP Sen. William
F. Knowland (R-Calif .), said
Tuesday night there are four
"major defects" that could de
stroy the United Nations.
Knowland also told the feder
ation of Jewish Philanthropies,
the UN might be better off with
out Russia.
He listed the four "major de
fects" in the UN as:
"Abuse of the veto by the
Soviet Union."
A "double standard" of in
ternational morality, with the
free world working under one
standard and the Communists
another.
An increasing trend toward
bloc voting in the UN.
Unwillingness of many of
the 81 member nations to share
equitably the cost of operating
the UN while demanding an
equal voice in its decisions.

Nixon Says Sputnik
Hasn't Changed
Balance of Power
San Francisco 'IP Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon "set the
record straight" about Sputnik
last night in an effort to counter
act "loose talk" that the Soviet
satellite had changed the bal
ance of military power from
West to East.
'Militarily, the Soviet Union
is not one bit stronger than it
was before the satellite was
launched," Nixon said in an ad
dress before the International
Industrial Development confer
ence, representing 57 nations.
Free World Stronger
'The free world remains
stronger militarily than the
Communist world," he said.
"And we can meet and defeat
any potential enemy who might
dare to launch an attack."
However, the vice-president
warned that the Russian satellite
should not be dismissed as a
mere scientific stunt.
"We have had a grim and
timely reminder of a truth we
must never overlook that the
Soviet Union has developed a
scientific and industrial capac
ity of great magnitude," he said.
Nixon said the free world
could not pin its hopes for sur
vival on present military super
iority, but must forge ahead on
military, economic and moral
fronts.
Military Takes Priority
He said that:
Maintenance of military su
periority "must always take pri
ority over the understandable de
sire to reduce our taxes."
American industry should
double or triple its current rate ;
of $4 billion in investments j
abroad over the next 10 years.
The reciprocal trade law,
which expires next June 30,
should be extended for five
years, in place of the one-to-three j
year renewals which Congress
voted in the past. . i

conditions.

Chain of Weather
Stations To Aid
Farmers Suggested
Washington fW An Iowa
State College scientist has sug
gested establishing a chain of
agricultural weather stations to
provide forecasts better suited
to the needs of farmers.
Weather information current
ly is tailored more closely to the
needs of aviation "which has
been the greatest user of weather
forecasting in the past," Dr. R.
H. Shaw said Tuesday at a meet
ing of the Agricultural Research
Institute.
Ground-Level Reports Needed
Shaw said farmers, for ex
ample, need temperature reports
taken at ground level where
crops grow "instead of on
top of a three or four story
building." Farmers also need
wind speed reports taken at
ground level he said.
The Iowa scientist said the
proposed agricultural weather
stations should record radiation,
air temperatures, soil tempera
tures, humidity, winds, rain, dew
duration, evaporation and soil
moisture.
Dean M. M. Kelso of the Mon
tana Agricultural Experiment
Station, another participant in
a panel discussion on climate
and agriculture at the meeting,
said the field was "largely un
developed." Four Stations Proposed
Kelso proposed building
about four regional research sta
tions across the nation to make
basic studies of the effect of
climate on plant growth. Each
station, built at a cost of about
$1 million, would be equipped
with climate control chambers.
Kelso said scientists know so
little about this subject now that
"even if we knew how to pre
dict and control weather perfect
ly we still haven't answered the
problem, because we don't know
what factors to predict and control."
WRONG-WAY WEATHERMAN
Denver (IP) Conrad J. Wea

again. He paid $25 for a wrong
turn on another one-way street.
"It's just not my day," the mo
torist said. "All I want to do

Commentator Files
$150,000 Lawsuit
Washington IP Radio com
mentator Fulton Lewis Jr., said
he has filed a S150.000 counter
suit against a former Washing
ton state official who sought
damages from him in connection
with a 1956 broadcast.
Lewis identified the ex-official
as Mrs. Peal A. Wanamaker,
former Washington state educa
tion director. The commentator
conceded he erroneously identi
fied Mrs. Wanamaker in connec
tion with a state investigation
but said he apologized on a later
broadcast.
He added, however, that Mrs.
Wanamaker subsequently "filed
17 duplicating suits involving 30
radio stations" in various parts
of the country. He said seven of
the suits were withdrawn be
fore a trial date could be set.
In his counter suit filed in fed
eral district court Tuesday,
Lewis contended the suits were
brought "as part of a malicious
scheme to harrass, injure and
humiliate" the commentator. He
said there was "no purpose or in
tent on the part of the plaintiff
ever to bring such action to
trial."
