The Knife Changes Hands
In Berlin—By Hight
Through the long S avict-rr.anufacturen
dispute over the city of Berlin, one tact
has tended to be obscured. And it is a
fact both we ar home and our friends
abroad, especially in lands far distant
from Germany, ought to understand thor-
oughly.
Our government made the point in.one
of its many notes to Moscow. but it sound-
ed more like a lawyer s argument ttian
the major-thing it is. .
The truth is our presence in Benin m
Of our own making. We earned the right
to be there by defeating the Germans in
World War II. Our position i- no* the re-
sult of any favor granted its by the Soviet
Union.
The Russians have no more right to
throw us out of West.Berjrin than we have
to throw them out. The city is under
shared occupation the same as the whole
country was after the war.
In all the Communist ranting over Ber-
lin, the Russians have tried to make it
sound as if they were the overlords of the
town and we mere tenants whom they
bounce when they so chose.
To people far from Berlin this notion
may be given some credence by the fact
that Berlin is an island of Western life .
surrounded by the Communist-controlled
soil of East Germany, stretching westward
from the city 110 miles.
But this latter fact is the accidental re- -
suit of the strange ini-planning under
which we pulled our armies back from the
approaches to Berlin, set the Bed-controll-
ed zonal border well beyond the city, and
contented ourselves with a ground and air
corridor to it.
With tougher, less trustful planning
(perhaps unlikely in the atmosphere of
those times); we would today be in a much
stronger position for the maintenance of
our rights in Berlin. Then not only we
but peoples in Asia, Africa land South
America remote from the scene Could ap-
preciate that the Kremlin’s < lamer over
the city has no more merit than a call for
the Belgians to get out of Belgium, j, ,
Berlin, like many another trouble spot, 1
could of course spark the war Soviet For-
ei$pi Minister Gromyko 'says threatens.
But if that happens it will not be because
we have violated any Russian or German
rights but because the Soviet Union wants
war. For the Russians knbwjis well as we
do that they have no case against us on i
*ny ground in Berlin.

86th Congress Prophecies
Get Difficult at This Point
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington CorreapoaSant
rrJ
Washington -— (N'EA) — Trying to forecast what will happen
in the fttjth Congress is even more futile than most exercises in po-
litical prophecy.
It always takes a new Congress about three months, to get its
head out of {he clouds aryi its feet on the ground. ,
The Preside«t*3'''messages on state of the union, budget and eco-
nomic report take the first few weeks.
Both Senate and House have to reorganize their standing com,
I rriittees. The committees then have to organize subcommittees before
| hearings can begin on new programs.
January, February and March have big hunks taken out of them
for birthday oratory. Lincoln for the Republicans, Roosevelt, Jeffer-
son and Jackson for Democrats.
First thing you know it’s Easter and there’s another recess, spring
vacation for tired lawmakers.
It's only after that they begin to settle down to business and
the hard work of getting things done.
All the sound and fury heard in Washington during the holidays
and before the new session convenes is just that. It has no substance
and very little significance.
The situation is complicated a little by the fact that there are no
outstanding presidential possibilities. Not even Vice President Richard
M. Nixon can c-offsider himself a shoo-in at this stage. So winter book
on the 1960 race is being made a year and a half ahead — unusually
early.
Nearly every governor, every senator and many a representative
considers' himself presidential timber. There they stand, proud ami
etect, waiting for political lightning to strike them. What they have
to say as the winds of chance whistle through their thinning hair must
he discounted accordingly, on any and all issues.
The list of things which the new Congress should or should not do
in 1059 is longer than u.jual. What will he done about them is compli-
cated by .schisms between liberals and conservatives in both parties.
This-may complicate the solution of issues and actual legislative ac-
complishments to save or ruin the country.
. It w ill lake several key votes in Congress to measure how this
liberal-conservative division will measure up. But this will be the
thing to watch for in deciding every issue, whether'it be budget bal-
ancing, deficit spending, increased postage rates and gasoline taxes,
foreign aid, foreign policy, national defense, civil -Ights, labor law,
farm bills, education or immigration.
The libera! view is that the retirement of so many older conserva-

Thinking It Over

Many artists have discovered their talents In

There ate doubtless thousands of embryo art-
