: Eigenhower for President

THE 19 POLITICALLY INDEPENDENT Seutpys Hows ard newspapers, by a majority vote ) today indorse the candidacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower and urge his nomination as the Republican candidate for President. You, our readers, are entitled to know the reasons for our choice when there is also available such a high type candidate as Sen. Robert A. Taft. We admire Bob Taft, personally and as a statesman. We respect his honesty, intelligence and patriotism, and acknowledge his fine record of service in the U. 8. Senate and thé Republican Party. We have no bricks to toss his way merely because in a choice between two great political figures both of whom reflect credit on the Republican Party, Ike seems best to meet the need of the hour. : We like him for the same reasons you do. He is a warm, friendly, modest man, who may not know too much about politics but knows a lot about what is good for the country. He can be elected. We like Ike because he is a natural and inspirational leader. He is a great man not only in America put throughout the world. He has wide and unique experience in dealing with the problems of peace and war. He has demonstrated rare administrative capacity. He radiates hope and contagious confidence in America. He believes we can build a better and more fruitful America if we take hold and manage our affairs the way they should be managed. ‘Since he came home from Europe and shed his uniform, he has waded head-on into the big issues of the ‘campaign, He hasn't ducked the tricky questions; he hasn't been rattled by them. When he doesn't know the answers, he says so. tae ; What ‘he did in“Detroit was characteristic—he threw away the address politicians wrote for him and spoke diréetly to the people in his human, sincere way. Tke believes that a “pofitical party too long in power becomes corrupt, greedy, armpgant, weak and know that, and so do we. 7. . We have seen those taxers and spenders in Washing. toi Waste our substance, deplete the buying power of our savings and wages, knuckle under to selfish pressure groups, - reaching out for ever more power over our lives. We have seen shysters, opportunists and light-fingered crooks elevated to high places and their shameless pillage cynically defended. So the administration has gone to pot, spending money to buy votes which should have been used to build our military strength, limping aimlessly from crisis to erisis, finally forced into a war it was not prepared to win. - Tke believes in government of law, with power limited and decentralized, resting closely with the people. He believes that laws on the books, such as Taft-Hartley, should be enforced. fF ES But he knows that laws alone are not enough. They must reflect the common purpose and united will of citizens—so labor and capital, agriculture and management, can work together and prosper together. Ike has the dynamic leadership which can bring us together again and inspire new faith. On the badis of his forthright commitment to the highest American principles, he is a man for whom all Republicans can vote with good conscience. And not only Republicans. Millions of political independents, and more millions of southern and northern Democrats betrayed by the Truman administration, will help to elect him President. For this reason, and many others— We like Ike.

Pressure for Higher Prices

N SOME OF THE DEMANDS it makes on Congress and the taxpayers, the persistent dairy lobby often is unreasonable. : For years, it kept the country saddled with exorbitant taxes on margarine. ? It still is trying to curb imports of foreign cheeses, although they are not truly competitive with the American products and help our European allies who use Amerjcan dollars to buy American goods. wh ~ Now it seeks to raise the price supports on dairy products. Dairy products now benefit from a generous sliding scale of price supports. But the dairy bloc wants a flat 90 per cent of parity. The public already has shown evidence of misgivings about the agricultural price-support program. Even many farmers, while accepting government handouts, are skeptical of the system. : The wasteful egg and potato programs of the past still are fresh in public memory. If the dairy bloc keeps trying to whoop up the pricesupport program to the point of exorbitance, it is running a serious risk of arousing so”much taxpayer resentment that the whole program will be in jeopardy.

One More Junket?

AN JOHN MURDOCK (D. Ariz.) of the House Interior Committee has a novel excuse for refusing to permit his committeé to vote on the Bartlett bill, which ‘would take control of the great Alaska fisheries away from the U. 8. Fish and Wildlife Service and give it to the government of Alaska. Mr. Murdock says hearings on the bill must be held ia Alaska. That, of course, means another congressional junket to Alaska, a delightful place to visit in the summertime, especially at government expense. But this trip hardly is necessary. There is available in Washington all the information about Alaska fisheries that

any would need, as well as expert witnesses in of Alaska and of the Seattle fishing interests which are fighting the ill. : . The committee can them any time it is willing to 4 n it d a

Truman's ‘No’ Is lke’s Chance

WASHINGTON, June 16—When President Truman turned down Colorado's invitation to attend the golden jubilee celebration of years’ work under the Reclamation Act, Coloradans turned around and invited Eisenhower. x Democratic headquarters in Washington blew up at this on the turn the big celebration in area into a political rally Heans, Of course, if tended there wouldn't implications at all. Oh, no.

Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman, intended all along to attend Greeley bration, was at first advised not to Colorado if Gen. Eisenhower was now he’s going, willy-nilly. He's an ex-Colo-radan himself, as well as being a principal Democratic strategist; so he has a double reason for going. Gen. Eisenhower is in Denver this week. So he'll be handy for the Greeley water festival if he accepts. It would give an excellent chance to sound off his views on public power, flood control and water policy in general, which are the only real issues in the West. And the West wants to know how he stands on these things.

Dewey's Oversight

ONE REASON Gov. Dewey failed to ary the West in 1948 was that he did not heed fornia Gov. Earl Warren's advice to pAy more attention to the water issue. Today, $ rinet pal opposition to Gov. Warren as a pre ial candidate in the Southwest and mountain r comes from water users in those aréas who that he would show a preference for California water rights over those of neighboring states,

flen. Estes Kefauver of Tennesséé has played thé water issue smartly all through the West by recognizing every state's special interests.

He was able to capture California, even though he had supported the Central Arizona project bid for a larger share of Colorado River water. Arizona, Utah and Wyoming dre sending uninstructed delegations to the Democrati¢ cone vention. But Kefauver captured 12 delegates in Washington and 12 in Oregon.

Sen. Kefauver has likewise made an a to local interests on the tidelands oil issue. 6 supporting President Truman's veto of the bill passed by Congress, the Tennesseé Senator has recognized that Texas and California in partic. ular have a legal ¢laim to some rights in the disposition of tidelands oll royalties, : One reason Sen. Kefauver did so well in South Dakota was that hé was thé first ératic presidential candidate to visit since William Jennings Bryan. 4

Boon for Ewing

NEWEST presidential boomlet to came oul of the West 1s a “Friends of Osear Ewing” movement, organized in California, Mr. Ewing, now Federal Security Adminiétrator, was sent to California in May to try to save the state for the regular Jimmy Roosevelt-Ed Pauley machinés. He failed to do that, but in this process he

mandged fo stimulate a few Californians to that he himself become a candidate. He apparently didn't discourage it, for ecam-

Paige ligs¥aiture in his behalt 1s now in the masts Mr. Ewing is Indiana born, but practiced law in New York in Charles Evans ‘Hughes’ firm before he came to Washington. He's also an ex-Democratic National Committee official.

Air Minded

INTERESTING sidélight on Sen. Robert A. Taft's strong stand for building up U. 8. air power is that Bud Littin, Mr. Taft's campaign publicity manager in Washington, is a former employee of Hill & Knowlton, big New York and Cleveland public relations firm which also handles publicity for Aircraft Industries Association of America. £ Mr. Littin took leave of absence from Handling the Aircraft Industries account to run ublicity for Mr, Taft's 1950 campaign for the Fonate. After the election, Mr. Littin went back to Hill & Knowlton, then returned to work for Mr. Taft this year. Sen. Taft, though supporting foreign aid cuts and favoring reduction in government budgéts in general, has voted consistently in support

of bigger air power. In denying Pennsylvania Rep. Hugh Scott's statement that Sen: Taft had voted against the 70-group Air Force plan, Mr. Taft's headquarters put out a statement that the “rule or ruin Eisenhower backers . . . have adopted comma for comma the CIO-PAC ‘big He technique of twisting Sen, Taft's voting redord.” That's the kind of mudslinging ¢ampaign this 1952 brawl is rapidly becoming.

‘Dodge Union Shop

In Steel Discussion

WASHINGTON, June 16 All the monkeyshines and mutual buck-passing in which President Truman and the Congress have been indulging to give the appearance of trying to settle the steel strike may be meaningless. The reason is that they do not touch on the fundamental and underlying issue of what to do about the union shop. That was the real stumbling block on which John A. Stephens, spokesman for the steel industry management and CIO , Steelworkers’ Union President Phil Murray fell down. President Truman, in his sudden but restrained appearance before the joint session of Congress to ask for a new policy directive on the steel case, did not mention the union shop once. .

o » . THE SENATE, after five hours of argument in which it beat down four attempts by Sens. Morse of Oregon, Maypank of South Carolina, Monroney of Oklahoma and Humphrey of Minnesota to authorizé a new government seizure, did not mention the union shop once. The Senate then passed a resolution by Sen. Harry Byrd of Virginia “requesting” the President to use the Taft-Hart-ley Act, but really ramming it down his throat and making him like it. But even if the House conours in this action, there is no assurance that the Taft-Hart-ley Act will do any good in the steel case. It could conceivably make the situation worse, by erystalizing union opposition to the law itself, which up to now”

It says only that union shop agreements may be made for one year and must be approved by a majority of the workmen emploved in plants covered by the contract. The situation today 18 that union labor leaders are determined to get the union shop written into their new agree, ments, while management is just as determined not to grant it.

WASHINGTON, June 16 — Stalin has split the Allies on German tactics, but there is no

disagreement among the U.S, Britain and France on basic policy. As usual, the Paris government, under parliamentary and public pressure, wants to aecept Stalin's demand for a Big Four conference. As usual, the London government, sensitive to Bevanite labor eriticism, wavers. And as usual, Washington objects to partieipating in another Red propaganda orgy, explaining it will join in a high level meeting only after Russia agrees to a definite agenda. ” = ” PRECISELY the same pattern was followed last year. Russia requested a meeting. There was a long exchange of futile notes on the scope of such a session. Finally, when France insisted and Britain at last assented, the U. S. reluctantly agreed on a conference of deputies to draft an agenda—predicting the Reds would turn it into a long propaganda farce. They did. That Paris meet-

Now Mr. Acheson, in fast warnings to Paris and London and to their ambassadors here, is trying to get the Big Three back in step.
