Sen, Taft will, on the domestic side, face hot opposition from labor. He says in reply it was labor--no ,less—that made his stunning Ohio victory possible in 1950. But he was facing an extremely weak opAnd there were other special factors at work. The lowdown on Gen. Eisenhower is not so-simple. He is an honest, - good man, much more complex than most people think, somewhat thin-skinned, somewhat deficient in a sense of humor, a man with a genjus -

THAT GEN. EISENHOWER ig a military man is a major argument against him. Soldiers are trained to think command comes ‘from the top; eivilians that jt comes from the bottom. . But Ike, back in America and speaking out on this issue in speeches ' and press conferences, hammers his belief the’ military should be subordinate to civilian authority. Out of uniform, he looks and acts like a most unmilitary general, and
his record seems to show he is
personally elastic enough to behave like a civilian. Isolationists say Ike is too much of an internationalist, too much tainted with, the TrumanAcheson brush. Liberals say he is too conservative, and conservatives he is too liberal. “Every time Gen. Eisenhow- ¥

position. i But since he came home and took off his uniform, he has shown marked skill in handling himself without that protection. He is obviously adept at fending off the slings and” arrows that come his way from any quarter. * » ” ” POSITIVE ADVANTAGES to Eisenhower are many.

Warren is not a trader by nature. He would like to have the but he would not be a candidate for the psychiatrist’s couch if he fails. Earl Warren entered the race initially because he was angry at Taft tactics in California. The Taft managers said Sen. Taft was the only “true” eandidate, tliere was no other choice.
