These legislators, although they have many fundamental disagreements with the administration, are now in a position where their seniority means power. The seniority system in picking committee chairmen has merit. It means that legislators with experience can guide and bolster those with less experience. But when the power that goes with the chairmanship is used to defeat the will of the chairman's own party, a majority of the Congress, and the President, a serious defect in the senior ity system is pointed up.

ROBERTSON On December 2, 1859. a fear-ri- d den, hysterical United States saved the nation by hanging fanatical, but sincere old John Brown. Within three years millions of American, many of whom had clamored for the death of old John, were singing with emotion-choke- d voices: "John Brown's body lies in the ground, But his soul goes marching on." A few days ago all of us who claim to be liberals were thrilled by President Elsenhower's ringing sjecch In defense of freedom of thought at Dartmouth. There must be no book burning said the presi dent. In order to fight Communism successfully we must read and study to find out what It teaches in order to combat It. That Is what liberals have been saying all along. Some newspapers thought the president was referring specifically to Senator McCar thy. With his usual cynicism the senator said that he didn't whether the books were burned or not so long as they Robertson were put where people couldn't read them. 'A few days later McCarthy prae tically forced James B. Conant our High Commissioner to Ger many, and the former president of one of our greatest universities, to make one of. the most humiliating surrenders and apologies that has ever disgraced our history, as Conant humbly promised to do better in the future in the way of re moving from American libraries the books of which McCarthy dis approved. A few days after that, the president In a newspaper Interview to all Intents and purposes reversed himself completely on the matter o5 book? and agreed that books by Communists should be burned. It all sort of points up Clement Atlee's plaintive query? "Who has the most pdwer In America: President Eisenhower, or Senator Mc 3 care Carthy?" i Poor old Sigmund Rhce has cer t at tainly turned loose a the picnic, but as General.

But if by some supreme miracle he should" succeed 'In saving his na tion he will go down in history as another George Washington, and pole-ca- his act In freeing the ist prisoners will become as fa mous and glorious as our own I Boston Tes Party. ' One of the things which Amer icans will never understand Is why all foreigners should not be willing and anxious to die for Old Glory, when they should consider It an honor and a privilege. It's sUll harder to understand why they should be willing to die for their own country when we teU them our prosperity depends upon them stopping fighUng. Old man Rbee Is undoubtedly s fanatic, but he has given his long life, and endured untold hard ships and privations for Korea, but perhaps our struggle for independ ence Is so far in the past that we shouldn't have any sympathy for a loser. For all our stupendous efforts to combat Communism we have prob ably accomplished less In all the years since President Wilson sent an American army intsr Russia In 1919 to help fight them, than the people of Eastern Germany have accomplished in a week They may and probably have lost the immediate fight, but now thanks to them all the people inside and" outside of the iron curtain know the sordid truth about conditions Inside a nation that comes under Soviet domination. All the world knows that It was a re volt against grinding, humiliating tyranny. Now the Communists In order to master the minds of men must come up with something better than, "It's a lie. CondiUons be; hind the iron curtain are wonder ful." The Germans have let the world know for a certainty htat conditions are deplorable, That re volt, will have far more bearing upon the teetering popula tions of countries like France and Italy than all our .dollars, and all our angry threats. was not ference, however, so kind with another automobile competitor.
