o 14 The Niwi-Review, Roieburg, Ore Tutt., Aug. 14. 1951 Most Of Nation's Political Smoke Rolls Daily Toward General Dwight Eisenhower By RRLMAN MORIN NFW YORK (AP) There was a sudden burst of smoke, and possibly some fire, on the national political hori zon today, and most of it was blowing in the direction of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. The presidential conventions are still 12 monthifeaway. But politicians and neo-politicians suddenly began coming and going, rumors burgeoned from coast to coast, the smoke-filled hotel rooms were getting smokier and the pace of activity was picking up by the minute. Whether this was merely anoiner form of warm weather diversion, like channel swimminf?, or a por tent of some concrete develop ments. was difficult to gauge. In any case, It was pivoting mainly around Eisenhower. The question of his availability as a presidential canaiuaie, aim his chances of winning a nomin ation, were absorbing people of all ranks in most of the 48 states. Two weeks ago, Herbert Brown- ell Jr. campaign manager in 1948 for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey loft Nu York, hv automobile. ( lone trio. He was headed for New Mexico, via the Carnlinas and some other southern states, nmwnell'i office declined to answer any questions about the trip. The New York slqte Republican committee spokesman said the lawyer was on vacation. But other prominent Republicans said Brownell's purpose was t o sound out sentiment respecting Elsenhower in conferences with party chiefs along the whole route. Thev said thev wouuld be "very much surprised" if he did not stop also to chat with some aouincrn Democrats, among whom a strong anti-Truman movement appeared to be forming. Still Political Enlama To .manv Republicans, Eisen hower is still an unknown quantity They claim not to know his po sition with respect to the basic issues of business and economics, which they consider even more im portant than foreign policy. His announced supporters are busy explaining what, presumably, would be his position. Eisenhower himself remained smiling and Inscrutable in h 1 1 N. A. T. 0. headquarters in Paris. Meanwhile, at home, a report circulated all the way across the country. It claimed that when the general accepted the p r e s 1- r DAILY FROM ROSEBURG Tt Expresses "" SEATTLk . i i . . . . 7 . . $6.70 PORTLAND ; ; ; i ; 7 i . .4.25 SACRAMENTO . i i . 4 . i .7.50 FRESNO si..i.... .9.10 10S ANGELES . i ; . 4 . . 12.10 SAN FRANCISCO. . . 3 . ; .8.00 OAKLAND ...... 3 ;. . 7.95 ... many rwl.r SfhdlM Dcllf ttnrm Tn J0 LSS...n Unml-Trif TmliU A.

By terms of that agreement, he pre sumably would return directly to Columbia once his Atlantic pact assignment had finished, accep ting no political nominations. Flat denials of that story came from some of the men who were closest to Eisenhower when dis cussions were held wi!h him that finally took him to the university. They declined use of their names. Tift Gaining Strength Those Republicans who are sup porting Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio for the nomination next year claim that he h:is made "long strides" recently in lining up con vention strength. They said he has gained support in Illinois, In diana and Wisconsin, particularly. WHERE Eisenhower has been en dorsed by olher party chiefs, the Taft factions hope to effect a split in both delegations. As of today, most Republicans in both wings are firmly con vinced that: 1. Eisenhower will be a can didate for the nomination. 2. He will butt heads with Taft at the convention. 3. His best chance for the nom ination will come if the Taft wing is convinced that only Eisenhower can beat President Truman. 4. The President will run again. nr AciiTX'TnM (SL twn Presi dent Truman says he does not K0uA..a r.an rtuiuhr D Kisenhow- er s duties in Europe will interfere with anytning in ja.ii n ine gcncim is interested in politics. But. the President told a news conference, he thinks In any event General Eisenhower will put duty to his country first. Two sftators recently returned from Europe one a Democrat and one a Republican have sug gested that Eisenhower's duties as supreme commander oi western European defense forces would keeD him out of the field of pos sible presidential candidates next year. Senator Murray (D-Mont), who says Mr. Truman should run again, came back from Europe to give that opinion in an interview. A similar view was expressed by Senator Brewster (R-Me), who is generally regarded as backing Sen ator Taft of Ohio for the Repub lican presidential nomination. Eisenhower has been nominated as a possible nominee by the Re- Pacific Picture Bad, Dewey Says WELLINGTON, New Zealand (IP) Winding up a whirlwind fact finding rour of the Pacific, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey gave a gloomy picture today of what he found. The situation is "very bad," he declared. "Russia has never ceased mak ing war since the end of the Sec ond World War,'' he told a news conference. "Five wars are going on in the Pacific in Korea, In donesia, Malaya, the Philippines and Indochina and nobody else is behind them hut Russia. Russia has two objectives: getting .la pan and Germany. If she can get both, she can tip the balance of power. Japan's ability to defend herself must be built up." The New York governor advo cated more defense treaties In Ihe Pacific, parlicularly one covering Indonesia and Burma. He em phasized that the only way to avoid World War III is to be strong enough to prevent it. Dewey praised the Japanese peace treaty as a brilliant piece of negotiation. Tftman dPffers Comment On Top Political Topics publicans and also by the Demo crats. He has never disclosed his political affiliation, if any. A reporter said Bernard M. Ba ruch had expressed the view that those who are trying to get Ei senhower into politics are doing a disservice to tlm country. Mr. Truman would not comment specifically on whether that con stitutes a disservice. But, he said he agreed with Baruch that Eisen hower is doing a magnificent job In Europe. And he said he hopes Eisen hower will continue to do that mag nificent job as long as it is neces sary. Other Political Comment In other political notes at the news conference: 1. A reporter said former Re publican President Herbert Hoo ver had suggested that his party "expose, oppose, and propose" in its campaign against the Demo crats. With a grin, the president ob served that he liked that last word, but added the Republicans haven't done that yet. 2. Mention was- made that Dr. Daniel Poling, noted clergyman, has been nominated by the Repub licans for mayor of Philadelphia. Mr. Truman was asked his reac tion. The President replied that he is very fond of that good Bap tist, Dr. Poling. But then he added he always has to be for the Demo crats. 3. A reporter said there had been published speculation that Mr. Truman's appointment of two fed eral district judges in Illinois over the protests of Senator Douglas (D-Ill) involved possibly the Presi dent's 1952 intentions. Mr. Truman said simply that he had appointed the judges in Illin ois. 4. A reporter told the President that Senaor Mundt (R-SD) had pro posed an alliance between southern Democrats and northern Repub licans who share the same views. Mr. Truman said he had no com ment; that he believed that was a question for Mundt and the Dixie crats, as he called them. Hannibal made his famous cross ing of the Alps in 218 B. C.
