...Legitimate. To such G.O.P. reaction, and to the plain fact that whether the Republicans like it or not, their conduct of foreign affairs will be an issue in the 1956 campaign, New York Timesman Arthur Krock last week addressed himself. Wrote Pundit Krock: "Republicans who have been indicating that international perils require the opposition not to attack even the measures and methods by which foreign policy is being conducted by the Administration would sound a little more grown up if they would acknowledge the realities of politics in a free land and the duty of the party out of power...
...fact, Krock noted, it would not even be good politics for the Republicans to take foreign policy out of the campaign. For perhaps the greatest asset of the G.O.P. derives from the very heart of foreign policy-and the fact that since 1953 the U.S. has not been...
...tried the Times's Washington bureau. But Pundit Arthur Krock, who then headed the 24-man bureau, also advised him to go somewhere else and get some reporting experience. The Scripps-Howard tabloid Washington Daily News had the job; it hired Lewis and he quickly made a mark as a byline reporter.

In other words the Democratic fee for preserving...
...noisy Democratic Representative Chet Holifield shot from the lip. "Mr. Chairman," said Holifield, "no matter how deep you bury it, it is still going to smell bad." Holifield may have been right, although not in the way he meant. Commented the New York Times's Pundit Arthur Krock: "The most unattractive exhibition of partisan politics the capital has witnessed for years is the row over the Dixon-Yates contract . . . these Democrats themselves have made the controversy bitter. And they have augmented its heat and scope by forcing into the area of partisan politics what should be a sober, nonpolitical...
