U.S.. VOTERS STILL LIKE IKE
Mr. Eisenhower gets another term in the
White 11,ouse, but control of both Houses of
Congress, remains with the Democrats. In
certain circumstances this might mean a sue -
cession of quarrels between the l'resident and
Congress, but Mr. Eisenhower has never been
a stiff Itepublican, and on a number of occa-
sions since 1952 he has had the eo-operation of
Democrats in putting measures through Con-
gress evr the opposition of Republican mem-
bers. In fact, last week's whopping majority
for Eisenhower Ivas less a N'ietory for the le-
publicati party thail it was 11 (leillonstration Ot

Democratic party put over Mr. Stevenson."
