But if the people of Greenwich want an educated guess on what's in store for the nation this year, they might ask their neighbors -- because in this New York suburb lives a collection of some of the biggest wheels in U. S. industry. It's a concentration of which the residents of the area are proud. So the Greenwich Time polled 36 residents, all top brass among the nation's business leaders. And the newspaper tells us today that 29 of them expect this year to be as good or better than last year. Of the 29, three are certain 1957 will top all previous years. Four others are confident it will beat last year. Nine think it will run neck and neck with 1956. And 13 just say it will be a good year for business. * * 4. THE SEVEN OTHERS cautiously stress some of the major uncer- tainties, but only one seems really converted to a less than hopeful view. Here are a few of the predictions of the men who are neighbors at home as well as leaders in their own industries: Eugene Holman, chairman of the world's biggest oil company. Jersey Standard, sees good times ahead with the domestic oil industry N WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: ixon 2and Senate Rte 22 By DREW PEARSON A LOT of backstage huddles plus careful planning preceded Vice- President Nixon's ruling that part of Senate rule 22 regarding fili- busters is unconstitutional. Nevertheless, some Old Guard Senators almost dropped dead with surprise. Richard Nixon has long been the darling of the Taft conservative wing of the Grand Old Party. It was this group which stuck by him last summer against Harold Stas- sen, demanded that he be No. 2 on the ticket. So its surprise was un- derstandable. When the last attempt to change filibustering came up, it was Bob Taft who killed any change. Taft stuck by the long-standing alli- ance between Northern Republi- cans and Southern Democrats wherebynthe Republicans stood with the South on anti-Negro is- sues and the South stood with Re=c publicans on anti-labor issues. The new Nixon, however, once a Taft disciple, did just the oppo ,site. The new Nixon not only junked the old GOP-Southern alliance, but did so despite an advance call from three Republib can Senators-Knowland (Calif.), Saltonstall (Mass.), and Bridges (N.H.), urging him to stay in line. WHAT OLD GUARD Republi- cans didn't entirely know was that Nixon also was called on by the Northern liberals. Some of them even came to his home at night. One committee of six came to his office-Ives (N.Y.), Smith (N.J.), Potter (Mich.), Republicans; and Douglas (Ill.), Humphrey (Minn.), and Anderson (N. Mex.), Demo- crats. "We're not trying to put you on the spot," said Anderson, who had been chosen to lead the fight. "But we think this is bad legisla- tion." "What are you really getting at?" Nixon asked. "We think it's outrageous for one Senate by a majority vote to be able to bind all future Senates not to change a rule except by a two-thirds vote," replied Ander- son. "We think it might be un- constitutional." NIXON AGREED. It was obvi- ous he had been studying the mat- ter. Finally Nixon said: "I'll be ready to rule when I come back to the chair from lunch about 2 p.m." At 2 p.m., however, Nixon bec- koned to Senator Anderson on the Senate floor to come up to the rostrum. The debate was in pro- gress. The public had no idea what was happening. "Don't let hini make his in- quiry," he whispered, referring to Humphrey, "until I get my papers. I want to go into this very care- fully." Anderson hurried over to Hum- phrey, whispered: "Hold your horses. Don't move until he noti- fies us." Thesdebate droned on. Finally Anderson saw a clerk bring some papers to the vice president. He edged over to -the rostrum and whispered: "Are you ready?" Nixon nodded. Anderson gave the signal to Humphrey, and the Senator from Minnesota asked the question which gave Nixon a chance to advise that part of rule 22 on filibustering was uncon- stitutional. Probable result of the ruling: 1)win a huge bloc of Negro votes for Nixon in his ambition for 1960; 2)Ensure passage of a Civil Rights bill whether the filibus- tering is changed or not. * * * MERRY - GO - ROUND: Many papers buried it, but Joe McCar- thy took a terrific verbal belt at new Supreme Court Justice Wil- liam P. Brennan shortly after Joe got out of the hospital, It should help endear Brennan to his fellow justices. They like him, don't like Joe. New Sen. Joe Clark of Phila- delphia was the first to pick up the idea of introducing a resolu- tion to outlaw rule 22 on filibus- tering on the basis of Nixon's rul- ing that it was unconstitutional. Nixon showed Clark five drafts of his statement, all written in long- hand. The fifth was read before the senate. Judge D. S. Saund, the hindu congressman elected from Cali- fornia, held old home week as dig- nitaries entered the house of Rep- resentatives to hear Ike's Near East mesage. He found a seat on the center asle, shook hands with Chief Justice Warren and various Senators as they walked down the aisle. Somebody quipped, "A thorn between two roses," when they saw Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona seated between Justice Tom Clark and new Sen. Frank Church of Idaho at the special joint session. TEXAS RETREAT: The two Texas leaders, Johnson and Ray- burn, who thought they had knocked the Democratic Advisory Committee out of existence by re- fusing to sit on it, found them- selves with their tails between their legs at breakfast last week with the same advisory committee they had spurned. Everyone was very polite, but if there had been any pie at the breakfast they would have eaten it-humbly. They had outfoxed themselves. If they had remained on the committee they would have controlled 11 out of 20 votes - a majority. Instead, they were on the outside, looking in, with no control. Harry Truman was polite, but quite firm. He had made it clear that the advisory committee wasn't going to disband just because the two Texas leaders boycotted it.

The Daily reserves the right to edit or with- IVIED Tower . . , To the Editor: LEE MARKS was greatly mis- taken in his editorial comment on the situation concerning the drinking age in New York State Jan. 5. He was obviously writing from the comfort of an ivory tower. Mr. Marks was referring to the report of the committee set up by Governor Harriman to deter- mine whether a change in the drinking age limit was advisable. Marks totally ignored the reason for setting up this committee. For many years the Legislatures and Governors of many states, in conjunction with various civic and religious groups,vhave asked New York State to raise their age limit to twenty-one. This would make a standard age limit for the entire area. This demand has also arisen from maxwy organi- zations in New York. I have seen (and at times been a part of) a long line of cars from New Jersey converging on New York for a "wet" night of fun. The same thing occurs on the bor- ders of New York touching Penn- sylvania, Connecticut, and even Canada. It isn't a rarity for these cars to finish a trip in an acci- dent due to a drunk driver. An- other thing that is not very nice and does not support Mr. Marks' ideas is the sight of kids, no more than sixteen, buying liquor and getting served in bars. They are rarely asked for identification. This is why there is a saying about New York, "if you can see over the bar you can be served." Why was the age limit ap- proved? The liquor lobby in New York is very powerful and very effective. This was the only real reason for this reapproval. The next time Mr. Marks writes an article he should look at the facts before he sits down at his typewriter. I realize that Mr. Marks has aj position of importance on The Daily. However, your printing this letter in toto would raise my es- timation, and that of others, con- cerning The Michigan Daily. --Ernie Rein, '58 likely to top 1956's record setting demand by 4 per cent. "One of the best business years on record," is how Thomas J.

"The index of over-all indus- trial activity should continue at a high level," says Frank Pace, Jr., executive vice president of Gener- al Dynamics, who expects that "military expenditures should rise. particularly for aircraft, electron- ics, guided missiles and ships." J. Whitney Peterson, president of U. S. Tobacco, however, says "1957 will hardly start off with anything very spectacular to rec- ommend it for an improvement of being very different from 1956." * * * FACTORS OF strength listed by Alfred L. Hammell, president of Railway Express Agency, include "an even higher general purchas- ing power than in 1956, a rate of construction activity both indus- trial and governmental which will be running above 1956 levels with a resultant high rate of steel pro- duction." This should make 1957 "as good or possibly better" than 1956. Thomas F.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO Anthony Eden was the shining young knight of the free world. He had defied the appeasement policies of the Chamberlain government in Britain, had been proved right, and had returned as Winston Churchill's righthand man in the conduct 6f World War IL He looked like a matinee idol. He was suave. He acted like a man who would never jump no matter what political firecracker went off under his chair. He was in line to become prime minister when Britain still headed a great empire. He had everything, including a political experience second to few except Churchill himself. When old Mr. John Bull had to go, the free world was perfectly satisfied to see Eden pick up the reins. There was no other man in Britain in which it had such confidence. B UT THE MAN in the black homburg who looked so suave as foreign minister was not so suave insida. His original problems revolved chiefly around the domestic economy, which in postwar Britain has been enough to floor most any man, and despite his expert advisers, he developed ulcers. Things rocked along, however, with his party always displaying complete political command, until a crowning defeat - his split with the United States over Middle Eastern policy. The shining young knight, who before the age of 40 had begun a lifelong campaign for such ideas as the League of Nations and the United Nations, and for the fundamental necessity of Anglo-American friendship and cooperation, was pushed to the wall by a series of British political setbacks in the Middle East. When Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal. a great many Britons saw it as threatening their last positions of political and economic im- portance in the Middle East, and as a danger to their vital home industry, so dependent on oil. FRANCE saw it as the beginning of her own end in Africa, where she was already beset by dwindling power and open rebellion. France applied the pressure, Eden yielded, and the two defied the wishes of the United States by in- vading Egypt. American-supported pressure in the United Nations forced them to retreat before attaining their objectives. They failed to oust Nasser of Egypt, and solidified for him a position which before the shooting was rapidly becoming untenable. Eden, the suave, had abandoned suavity. Eden, the military commander, had been forced to retreat. Eden, the friend of America, was under a serious cloud. Again he became ill Now he has resigned, as TODAY AND TOMORROW: Ike's Generalized Language Needs Explanation By WALTER LIPPMANN THE language of the President's address and of the proposed joint resolution is broad and im- precise. This is, one might say, unavoidable when foreign policy is conducted by means of general declarations served up with hot rhetoric. Vagueness and ambigu- ity are inherent in these gran- diose declarations, and we must not expect them to be precise and specific and clear. 1 What they are meant to ac- complish is at once to impress mankind and at the same time to give the Secretary of State a free hand to maneuver and nego- tiate. The proposed resolution speaks, for example, of "the gen- eral area of the Middle East." which is a very generalized form of words. It speaks of "any na- tion controlled by international Cnrmmuism " wbirh leavoe ll +he area be promptly and clearly de- termined and declared." I have an impression that in the apparent contradiction be- tween this insistence on a clear policy and the vague and impre- cise language of the address and the joint resolution, we might find the key to what the new poli- cy is really meant to do. '. * * SINCE NOTHING is now "clear- ly determined and declared," we must suppose that the Adminis- tration hopes eventually to deter- mine clearly and declare our poli- cy for the defense of the area. Let us now note two points. The first, which controls the whole conception, is that this is an of- fer by the kdministration to give military assistance to any nation or group of nations "desiring such assistance." The second point is that the President intends "to send a special mission to the Middle East to explain the cooper- ~-;,.,.. ject to correction - I make out of it. It is certain that there is no clearly determined policy now. It appears that there cannot be a clearly determined policy until the various governments of the Middle East have accepted or re- jected "the cooperation we are prepared to give." * * * THE QUESTION, then, is: What are the prospects of agree- ment? They are good enough for the four nations of the Baghdad Pact, for Turkey, for Iran, Pakis- tan and Iraq. These nations would like the United States to join the .Baghdad Pact, and this new pol- icy could be in all but name the equivalent of our joining the Baghdad Pact. Presumably, the President's offer will strengthen the hands of the Prime Minister of Iraq and his hand now needs strengthening. It stands to reason that Israel will iumn at the chanc- if in fact gotiating with the unaligned Arab countries. It is in.Egypt and Sy- ria primarily; to some degree in Iraq, that the SovietUnion is extending its influence. It does this largely by working upon the younger officers of the armies, of- fering them weapons in the hope of military power, and on the in- telligentsia who run the govern- ment services. To them it offers money without strict accounta- bility The American policyaseems designed to help the State De- partment with men and with money to outbid the Russians. * * * IF THIS is the purpose of. the undertaking, it is, it seems to me, sound enough. But I cannot help feeling that the President has made it difficult for himself to succeed because of the rhetori- cal excesses of his address.
