KEEP EM GUESSING
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Political writers are in a dither trying- to outguess one
another as to whether General Eisenhower is to be a can
didate for the presidency. Politicians are cashing in on
the opportunity to make headlines by venturing their opin
ions. It seems that almost anyone with an opinion on the
subject can get into public print.
(11 v " 1 " 1 A ...I'Liii'U". v..
contend it is his duty to do so. Taft supporters are try-
. .. . t - -I ! . U A
ing to smoKe out nis intentions Dy claiming buchkui w
gain the nomination. The great debate goes on and on.
We recall the words of a seasoned old political cam
paigner now passed to his reward.
"If you ever want to run for public office, kid, he
told us many years ago, "don't ever let anyone know
you're a candidate until the last possible minute. If you
come out too early, you'll have all the snipers taking pot
shots at vou."
While we have never been interested In seeking pub
lie office, we have remembered that piece of advice and
have obsorved many times the truth of his philosophy.
The longer an avowed candidate is before the public, the
better the opposition's chances of piling obstacles before
him.
Waiting Is Good Strategy
We believe that waiting is Eisenhower's best strategy.
Many writers disagree with this opinion. They think
Eisenhower should declare himself and his policies.
We feel, however, that his position with the public
will be improved if he wait? to be "drafted."
He must, of course, make some move to show himself
In readiness for the nomination, if he actually is recep
tive. The very fact that he hasn't rejected the possibility
of becoming a candidate and remains noncommittal may
well be assumed to be evidence that he is willing to ac
cept the nomination. If he is seeking the job, he can let
It be known in several different ways. One would be to
take a leave of absence from his present duties, claiming
he needs a rest. Or he could resign and go back to his
job as president of Columbia university. Or, he could
make a public announcement of the appointment of a sec
ond in command to take his place in directing the rearming
of western Europe should he be the victim of some oc
currence resulting in his absence. Dozens of other ways are
open to him to signify his availability for the nomination.
But while he remains a possible, but not certain, can
didate the opposition is kept off balance. No active cam
paigning can be done against a candidate who isn't even
In the field and who may not enter the battle.
. President Truman is using the waiting strategy. Re
publicans can't deploy their snipers until they know
whether the President will try for another term or sur
render the nomination to some other party member. We
expect the President will keep the opposition guessing un
til the last possible moment. If su.'h policies are good
on one sine, they are equally good on the other.
Eisenhower Policies Questioned
Some writers want Eisenhower to declare his policies
They feel he should be speaking out, letting the people
Know what he would do if elected to the nresidency.
Actually, if we are to observe fundamental two-party
politics, his silence is in keeping with tradition.
Under our system of government, the party, rather
tnan the man, is supposed to speak. The respective parties
adopt platforms. Announced policies are the planks, upon
wnicn party candidates stand.
We can't say that the Dartics. in late years at least.
have given more than lip service to campaign promises
after election, but tradition still calls for platforms and
candidate adherence to party pledges and policies.
There will be ample time after the Republican con
vention tor biscnhower to conduct his campaign, should
he be "drafted" as the party standard bearer. He will
than make known his policies and purposes. It is a far
less difficult job today, with radio, television, motion pic
tures and the press as available media, for a candidate
to make himself known to the public than it was a few
years ago when widespread travel, handshaking and baby
Kissing were essential. If Eisenhower should be the Re
publican nominee, we imagine he will have plenty of time
to state his case after party conventions are held.
As a wise and experienced military campaigner, he
doubtless is fully aware of the advantages of keeping the
enemy guessing. He may be expected to use the same
strategy if he enters the political wars.

"When I counted to 150 I quit. . ."
And John Kentz, who was here
last Sunday afternoon, said the

WASHINGTON The Communists never seem to miss
an administration irravv train. The newest one is in a pro
vision of the mutual security act of 1951, which authorized
a $10,000,000 appropriation to encourage emigration from
countries having surplus manpower to underdeveloped and
dependent areas with manpower shortages.
Congress, at the urging of Sen
ator I'at McCarran, of Nevada,
and Representative Francis Wal
ter, of Pennsylvania, provided
that none of the money was to
be made available to any inter
national organization which has
in its membership any Commu
nist Communist - dominated or
Communist-controlled country
to any subsidiry or gency cre
ated by or stemming lrom any
such Commie-including organization.
This restriction was aimed spe
cifically at the International
bor organization, which consists
in part of Communist country rep
resentatives. U. S. delegates to
the conference in Brussels, Bel
gium, which was to set up the
organization to spend the $10,000,-
000, also were instructed that the
International refugee organization
could have no part in the set-up,
either.
The 1RO made a botch of the
displaced persons program to
such an extent that most congress
men break out in a rash when
it's mentioned.
The Brussels conference took
place in late November and guess
who was there trying to take over
the gravy train? Bold the 11.0
and Ihe IilO. their agents were
crawling all over the place, and
their big pilch was that unless
one .J. Donald Kingsley handled
the job, it wouldn't be worth do
ing. Kingsley Is presently UN com
missioner for refugees in Korea
and he can have most of the
credit that goes with the lousing
up of the displaced persons pro
gram. Some other angles to Kings-
icy s me mignt inlerest you, also.
Senate internal security sub
committee records show that in
defending the civil liberties of the
Communist party. He was ex
tremely .put out over the ac
tivities of the house committee on
un-American activities. In 1941 he
was editor of the Anlioch Review,
which then was practically a
Fellow-Travelers' journal. One of
his associates was Carey McWil
liams, and- there Is no question
of how McWilliams stands in af
fection for Soviet Russia.
In 1942 Kingsley was a mem
ber of the research council that
published a letter for the union
for Democratic action. The house
committee on un-American activ
ities described this as "composed
chiefly of Reds who have been
a segment of the interlocking di
rectorate of the Communist
party." In 1944, Kingsley was an
instructor at the Ohio School of
Social Science, which was cited
by the attorney general as sub
versive. In 1948 and 1949, Kings
ley was director of the IRO when
it was being run like a training
school for Kremlin kiddies. Na
turally, Kingsley worked for the
Fair Deal on the government pay
roll at one time, but it got so
bad he was lubiected to a lovaltv
investigation. Ho quit before it
was completed.
The reason the Communlstj are
so anxious for Kingsley to get
into the mutual security act mi
gration program is that they have
a migration program of their own,
on a global basis, and they of
course would like to have it paid
for out of our $10,000,000. Their
program is a ort of one world
migration idea, wherein Commu
nists in Communist - controlled
areas are moved around to wher
ever they feel there Is need fpr
them meaning, of course,
moslly the United States. As in
all one world Ideas, the laws of
the U. S., particularly those sel
ling up immigration quotas, would
be ignored.
When McCarran and Walter
found out that Kremlin errand
boys were snooping around the
Brussels conference, they put the
heat on George Warren, head ef
the U. S. delegation. Warren was
easy to convince and he man
aged to get the conference to post
pone naming a director for 60
days. This was on December 10th.
What McCarran and Walter want
to do is block Kingsley long
enough to get back to Congress
and U necessary put through more
legislation on the subject, speci
fically denying Kingsley the job
if necessary.
The $10,000,000 available now is
just a starter. Millions more will
be needed, and that has the Com
munists drooling. They aren't tak
ing the McCarran-Walter inter
ference lying down. But our own
American interest demands that
the legislators aucceed in their
efforts.
