lke, When Do We Start?
WE TRUST Dwight Eisenhower doesn’t think that what he has been doing and saying this last month can classify as campaigning for office. For those little milk-and-water remarks he has been uttering at press conferences and in informal talks have made him no votes. As our readers know, the Times and other ScrippsHoward newspapers have taken more than a general interest

in Tke’s candidacy. Before the conventions, we endorsed him as the man best qualified for the presidency; and as the Republican who had the best chance of overthrowing a party which had grown all too corrupt and contented in
its 20 years in power.
We are continuing our support, unshaken in our faith in Gen. Eisenhower's qualifications, but we must admit that Ike has not done anything lately to fortify our belief that he can win. We still cling to the hope that when he does start campaigning, "he will come out swinging and that he will hit hard. If he doesn’t, he might as well concede defeat and go back to the cloisters of Columbia University or the tranquility of his Pennsylvania farm. - Our 19 newspapers are published in cities from the East Coast to the West, and an exchange of correspondence in the last couple of weeks with men who work on those papers tells a story which is nation-wide and can be summed up in one sentence: :
Ike is running like a dry creek. » s »
MEETING WITH western Republican governors in Idaho, Ike came out with a statement of middle-road political philosophy which, considered in the abstract, was a noble pronouncement of principles to which most Americans can adhere. Yet, evaluated in the context of this campaign, it was such a statement that his adversary, Gov. Stevenson— a shrewd and seasoned politician—used it conveniently and happily to label Ike as just another “me-too” candidate. If Ike permits that label to stick, he’s a goner. We hope and trust he will not—yet as an independent newspaper we can only report and appraise his progress, or lack thereof. At his Kansas City, Kas., conference with Midwest and Southwest Republicans, some of his supporters suggested to Gen. Eisenhower that the Pendergastism in Kansas City, Mo., had become Trumanism in Washington, that he had a great campaign issue. But Ike said he wanted to wage his campaign without indulging in personalities. . Ina press conference, Gen. Eisenhower was interrogated in regard to the nasty things Sen. McCarthy of Wisconsin had said about Gen. Marshall. Ike rushed to the defense of Gen. Marshall, saying that he had been an honest, sincere, patriotic public servant, and had made a great record as chief of staff in World War II. All of which is true, and most Americans will applaud Ike's support of Gen. Marshall. Certainly, we do. We cannot think of another American who had better intentions, or who tried harder to do his duty, than Gen. Marshall. But Gen. Marshall's record as special ambassador to China and Secretary of State is one of the dark pages in the history of American diplomacy. It is the key to the loss of China as an American ally, key to the outbreak of war in Korea. Gen. Eisenhower said at Kansas City: ‘Maybe he (Gen. Marshall) made some mistakes. I do not know about that.” If Ike doesn’t know, he had better find out. For that is one of the big-issues of this campaign. Ask any mother, father or wife of a soldier now in Korea. . Speaking of Gen. Marshall, Ike said: “I have no patience with anyone who can find in his record of service to this country any thing to criticize.” In our opinion, no man is entitled to that immunity—
not even Gen. Marshall. 2 ” 2 ” 2 ”
NEVER IN OUR memory has there been a presidential campaign which offered to the opposition so many good issues. Because of bad management, our nation is involved in a war which the administration has not shown the will or capacity to win. Because of bad management, the cost of living and high prices and high taxes are eating away the substance

of all who labor for a livelihood, and devouring the sav-|
ings of all who have tried to provide for their own old age. Because of bad management, extravagant spending
and plain thievery, people have lost confidence in the na- =
tional government. People want a change.
They expect the candidate of the opposition to tell how,
he will bring about a change. Ike will win if he does that. He will lose if he doesn't. It's that simple.

The fall danger signal for motorists went up here today ‘as the parents of about 65,000
children prepared for start of |school Sept. 3. Police and school officials will try to cut a pupil accident record which has already been trimmed to 28 for an entire school year. | Hoosier Motor Club with po/lice co-operation have prepared safety posters for citywide dis|tribution, urging motorists to caution.
2000 to Wear Belts
| School Safety Director George Farkas said-about 2000 boys and /girls will wear the white belts and |badges of school traffic patrolmen this year. They will man 1050 pusy’ corners while pupils are enroute to school and home. Police Sgt. Harry Bailey said 140 adult civilians will man the {more dangerous intersections. | Mr. Farkas said to-and-from |school accidents have shown a |big drop, although after school ‘and home accidents have increased slightly. | The most dangerous time of |day is between school dismissal and dinner time, according to statistics of the school offices.
19 Autos Involved
| Last school year's record of 28 mishaps included only 19 involv{ing motor vehicles, said Mr. Farkas. The rest were from falls, |bicycles, and similar accidents. The year before there were 47 accidents. | For the entire year the school system’ recorded 4106 accidents {of all kinds. Records are kept only for those which cause a | pupil to miss class, or which require attention by a doctor. Mr. Farkas said 420 of the total accidents occurred after school traffic patrolmen had gone off their stations in the afternoon,
On Duty at 7:50 A.M. Most patrolmen go on duty at 7:50 a.m. and leave, their corners about 8:25 a. m., Mr. Farkas said. That is the best time to start a child on his way. A check with individual schools will corules, he added. Posters to be distributed urge motorists to regard every child as a “danger signal.” Opening week can be the most dangerous, Mr. Farkas said. “Most children are anxious to get back, they want to see their school friends, and in their enthusiasm they may forget their |safety rules for a moment,” he | added.
