...Communists, who had backed him on the Indo-China settlement, were now voting regularly against him. The Roman Catholic M.R.P., the party of ex-Premiers Bidault and Schuman, accused him of sabotaging EDC, and resentfully rank themselves solidly against him.

Last week, in an effort to restore some order in South Viet Nam, President Eisenhower dispatched former U.S. Army Chief of Staff General J. Lawton Collins to Indo-China as his special ambassador.

They seem to have similarly discounted the setback in Indo-China. Sen. McCarthy is another dead duck. The campaign is lethargic in large part because these emotional, highly personal issues have been superseded by economic questions. And there is no doubt the Democratic trend results from the economic picture...
