Questions mav be sent to him at 7008 Hillcrest Place, Chew Chase,Md. WASHINGTON, January 8 "Why is it," asks R. D. of Charlottesville, Va., "that Harold E. Stassen seems to be the only man to defend President Eisenhower, when he is attacked by the Democrats? His field, as I get it, is supposed to be disarmament, not politics. And aren't there more important and distinguished members of Ike's group to assume the role of Republican defender? B. Tackett. Publisher R. M. Tilton, Business Manager Fred P .Forbes, Circulation Manager J. F. Collins, Advertising Manager Control ress For Cong Struggle Tight for a In all the guessing over whether or not President Eisenhower .will run again, it has tended to be forgotten that a tight struggle will also be waged this year for v control of the next Congress. , Democrats of course hold both houses now, and are favored to retain command.This is the experts' view even if Mr. Eisen! ana tnus gives hower stands for r boost whatever congressionalr r candidates 1 i4 ins popularity, tney cancel irom t Recapturing control is an especially difficult task for the Republicans in the Senate. To be sure, the Democrats' present (edge is slim 49 to 47. A net gain of one would switch control,1 if a Republican vice president had meantime been elected and was prepared to preside over the upper chamber. But the battle prospects do not give adseats vantage, to the GOP. Thirty-thre- e are at stake in November. Of these, eight are in the solid South and are conceded in advance to the Democrats.

This gives the Democrats a bit more than twice as many chances as the Republicans have to pick up Senate seats in 1956. To cite just a few spots' out of the 17 where Republicans may have trouble keeping: what they've got,, look at Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Colorado.

He craves headlines and limelight. Indeed, although it is a vairi dream, he still thinks that he has a chance for the Presidential nomination, if Ike does not run. REASONS FOR STASSEN'S ROLE But there are more fundamental reasons for his role of Harold at the bridge. It would not be fitting, or so they think, for more important members of the Cabinet or Eisenhower's political family to reply to every criticism of Administration policies. They do so indirectly, of course, by issuing statements or going on television to explain the purpose and the hopes behind their policies. Secretary Dulles' various nationwide addresses are a conspicuous example. Moreover, they have too much work to do, whereas Harold is apparently at loose ends. The disarmament business is not doing too well these days, although the United States must present a plan soon that will be o. ' hold.

On several occasions, his statements have clashed with high THE CHOPPING BLOCK Administration policy, and they have had to be repudiated.
