Mishandling Spoils GOP Bid To Renounce Pacts handling of President Eisenhower's resolution on the subject of wartime agreements with the Russians seems certain to go down as a tragedy of errors, no matter what the final Senate action.

The President's purpose was to give the satellites of the Soviet Union a firm psychological lift by declaring that the Russians had perverted the Yalu and Potsdam pacts with the West into instruments for the enslavement of oncefree peoples. Mr. Eisenhower's evident mistake or that of his top advisers wAS in not gauging carefully enough the temper of Senate Repuhlicans on the Yalta-Potsdam issue. GOP leaders had accepted the President's proposal in principle, but Secretary of State Dulles did not show ally of them the actual language of the declaration until just before it went to Capitol Hill. Republicans hit the roof.

To the GOP, broad condemnation of Yalla and Potsdam has long been a battle cry, and it rang especially loud in the 1952 campaign. They argue that the concessions the West made to Russia on these occasions giving the the Japanese Kurile islands and carving up Poland were tragic betrayals of good peoples, Consequently the Republicans cannot let lightly pass any proposal which mentions those pacts without indicating either their disapproval, or at the least, their lack of approval. In this case, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tacked on a proviso stating that Congress was not passing judgment on the "validity or invalidity" of the Yalta and Potsdam agreements. But in its insistence upon this proviso, the GOP lost Democratic backing for the resolution and hence the bipartisan unity which alone could have given it much meaning to the Iron Curtain peoples. In revised form, the proposal can have no psychological value.

Yalla and Potsdam as agreements are not being argued here. The only point to be made is that the propaganda possibilities of the President's proposal would now seem to have been lost. The satellites are hardly likely to lake much hope from a proposal that can gain only divided support, nor are they apt to be impressed by a watered-down declaration that fears to mention the wartime pacta at all. From all this this administration may have learned another hard lesson in the matter of measuring the mood of Congress. And Congress may have learned that the necessities of domestic political propaganda don't necessarily blend with the requirements of psychological warfare abroad.

He's Lucky, at That Our heart goes out to an anonymous engraver in England. He must be one of that country's most respected and skilled craftsmen, for he was chosen to do the engraving on the official coronation medallion. The design, by Sculptor Paul Vineze, shows a profile head of Queen Elizabeth 11, surrounded by Her Majesty's name and titles. It was a beautiful job of engraving, except for one thing the "2" in "Elizabeth" was backward. The error was not discov.

ered until scores of proof medals had been struck off and distributed in Britain and the U.S. There is no report on what happened to the hapless engraver. Undoubtedly he received a severe reprimand. Possibly, he was fired. But we're pretty sure he is not in the Tower of London, awaiting the headsman's axe.

Whatever his fate, we can't help speculating on what: would have happened to him if he had been A Russian engraver, working on an obituary medal of Stalin and had got the backward.
