Eisenhower Sold On Value Os Patronage Patronage Turned Over To Chairman WASHINGTON UP—lEisenhower and Jifs business-mind-ed cabinet have been sold on political patronage as basic stuff of which a fighting party organization is made. i j The sales job was done by Leonard W. Hall, at New York, who became chairman of the Republican national committee last April. He succeeded C. Wesley Roberts, of Kansas, who resigned under home state fire.- Hall was drafted from a surrogate’s bench in New York to which he had retired after a successful career in the house of representatives, j \y ? But Hall would not take the chairmanship until Mr. Eisenhower agreed that the White House iwould

cease and the national committee would begin to handle patronage. The President and his cabinet Utterally had to be persuaded that patronage was good and useful. Tliey are persuaded now ?and Hall' is 'building a political organization tor next year’s campaign wars. . '{ u About all the Republicans nefed next year is a political miracle ;— something lik e FDR’s New Djjal achieved in the concessional elections of 1954. Mr. Roosevelt had ibeen in office two yeats then aind it was traditional that! the party winning a presidential election Tvould lose some house and senate seat» in the congresisonal contest two years later. But the heat the off year jinx. They almost swept jhe opposition out of congress altogether in 1934. The Republicans next year cannot afford to load a single seat. They must gain seats to obtain even d working majority in the house and senate, which they do not now possess. Hall probably would be content with any

gain at all, however “mall, i: 5 •Before Hall took over apjd when patronage was being handled nt the White House, the ahguisli congressional Republicans was extreme. Speaker Joseph W’. Jr. ißsMass., for example ifrom newspaper stories that several persons in his district'had won federal jabs. Sen. Robert A. Taft Rs-p. led p protesting delegation ; t<> tjje \yhite House, Republicans bn Capitol Hill were angry, andii: afraid that amateur White House age dispensers would ruis theni/ politically. Rightly or Wrongly, chief presidential assistant Sherman Adams, of New Hampshire, was blamed for most pf the trouble. \ ■ I;' Barring an occasional extraordinary case, Adams and thei White House are out of the pajponage business now. Hall is in Ifcharge and he is dealing with Republicans in congress or with party Spokesmen in the field, as direct. ’? E?

Vienna's Taxicab Service Amazing Begin Revitalizing Os Taxi Service VIENNA; UP—The rather amazing taxicab service of Vienna—the cars are mostly models ranging from 1912 to 1920 —is in th,e process of being revitalized by the addition of 100 used sedans bought from surplus U. S. army stocks. Vienna’s 1,30(X taxis are a marvel of the modern world, far surpassing London, Rome and Paris vintage models on all counts. 11 A few have to be hand-cranked. Even those with self-starters often are hand-cranked to save precious batteries. Upholstery and trimmings have long since been substituted by horse blankets, pieces of cardboard —or just bare boards. But the otherwise glum, shaky interior is — as in many London taxis —+ .brightened by the addition of a vase or two of live flowers. Verified ancedotes concerning Vienna’s taxis, some operating continuously since before World War I, are legion and are usually of the Mack Sennett variety. Prayer Helps , Customers have been known to open. rear doors and have them c6me off in their bands. Batteries on some models, slung under the chassis, have dropped off while cars were en route. The drivers, usually chggrful walrus-moustach-ed. leather-hatted ancients, stop with no comment, walk back, retrieve them and carry on. The meters are calibrated to the value of the Austrian schilling of 25 years ago when a groschen—--100 to the schilling—was worth something. One' schilling is now worth .038 cents U. S., a groschen .0038 cents. / : \ But the taxis have survived two .world wars and vicissitudes. Their -drivers ' philosophical and can make out fine today in English, French and) Russian. Some drivers have turned down the offer Vto buy second-hand American surplus cars on the grounds they btirn too much gasoline and "are too difficult to repair.” It’s simpler to use pieces of wire and cardboard and prayer.
