If so how does the American side guarantee that they will strictly comply with the armistice agreement?"

DOUGLAS CORNELL WASHINGTON July 18 Eisenhower's "Great Crusade" is six months old now six months of which always mark the twisting pathway of any administration Here in Washington you can get an argument either way as to whether Eisenhower and his team have done little or a lot since they took over January 20 Democrats pop up here and there to say it's a "do nothing" administration and another "do nothing" Congress Eisenhower himself says the record of the last six months is one of real achievement and that it represents only a mere beginning The President moreover shows signs that he now may attempt to lead rather than nudge Congress itito action on major measures The way he jumped into the battle for continuation of the excess profits tax on corporations thus might be one of the most significant events of this break-in period for the new administration machine Defintely there have been accomplishments over this period A start has been made toward economy although the
