Nixon Fu nd Issue Gloom Changes to Jubilation in GOP Bj JACK BELL ABOARD THE EISENHOWER j SPECIAL UV-With Sen. Robert AJ Taft of Ohio in the vanguard, the "old pros" of the Republican ranks could claim a lot of credit Thurs day for saving the political skin of Sen. Richard M. Nixon t Cali fornia. Nixon is a hero second only to Eisenhower among the Republic ans today. r The story of how he got that way is a curious mixture of sudden fright, deep gloom, pulling and hauling behind the scenes then the steadying influence of the old hands, the break in the disclosure of the Illinois Democratic fund and the final Hollywoodian splurge of the Wheeling W. Va. meeting be tween Eisenhower and Nixon. The disclosure Nixon had been accepting paymznts, from an $18, 000 expense fund raised by wealthy Californians hit this train like a time bomb. It took 24 hours for Eisenhower's advisers to get the full weight of the explosion and then the gloom settled like a fog. Sen. Taft Acta At the time some were telling the general he ought to boot Nixon off the ticket to prove his own political righteousness Taft charac terictically acted without consulting ; anybody else. , The Ohio Senator gave a tele phone interview saying Nixon had done no wrong and that soon be came the line employed by the general's advisers. Along with Taft, such old pros as Sens. Mundt of South Dakota. Everett Dirksen of Illinois and Frank Carlson of Kansas leaped to Nixon s defense. . It still might have been touch and go if there had not come the disclosure that Gov. Adlai E. Stev , enson of Illinois had sponsored a fund through which salaries of ap pointive officers were augmented. This boosted, the morale of the Eisenhower camp and sealed Nix on's place on the ticket. Na Doubt for Days Although the now famous radio- television broadcast followed this and there was the tearful scene at Wheeling Wednesday night, there had been no real doubt for days - that Nixon would continue in the role of vice presidential candidate, As it stands he probably is the most costly candidate in history, what withlhe47S,0000 outlay for the radio-TV show, a campaign train and his air flight to all sections of the country. - Republicans generally felt they had scored a ten-strike by the handling of the Nixon incident. - Their arguments: They had converted what looked like a serious political liability in to what they regarded as a tremen dously publicized asset. 'Sympathy Vate They had virtually blanketed Stevenson's activities in an import ant week of the -campaign. They had aroused a sympathy vote for Nixon they felt would add strength to their ticket in November. They had made of Nixon a figure who could rival in public attention the presidential candidates them selves, j They had put Nixon in the posi tion Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wis consin has used j so effectively where he could turn off future at tacks on him as being "Communist inspired. i f They were In a position to attack Stevenson s fund, j Democrats, of course, didn't ag ree with these premises.. Mayor David L. Lawrence of Pittsburgh, a member of the Demo cratic National Committee, said Nixon made "a -weak case" and Sen. Olin D. Johnson of South Car olina where Gov. James F. Byrnes is supporting Eisenhower said the GOP cause had been hurt because Nixon 'didn t answer the ques tions that people want to know. Salem Renews Airport Lease With U.S. Navy The City of Salem Thursday re newed its lease with the U. S. Navy Department for faculties at McNary Field, but dispensed with a clause requiring that the prop erty eventually be restored to its original condition. The Contract, signed by City Manager J. L.
