' mundod 1651 James Reston of the New York Times thinks 'President Eisenhower, who disclaims politi cal skills, is really a better politi cian than the pros who surround him. When Eisenhower acts on his native common sense he does better than when he listens to the politico. Reston . attributes his failure to follow his own judgment to his personal char acteristics, and adds: I "For all his military training he is the least dictatorial of men. For all the adulation that has been his lot since the great vic tory in Normandy he is remark ably modest. And despite his in comparable achievements as a leader and persuader of men he still seems to think of this ai something apart from politics., "The paradox of this is that the things that go badly with him are the things that , are planned wh his associates while the things that go well are those he does instinctively and natur ally." I This analysis may not be quite accurate. Better to say, in our view, that Eisenhower's native instincts- are good. But that doesn't mean that his political instincts are sound. He alone must have made the decision to support as Republicans Senators Jenner and McCarthy last year. The sequence of his reactions in the Nixon finance affair last year showed a confusion which never was fully resolved. His frank condemnation of book burning was later watered down. While he aspires to be President of all the people he has failed to cultivate Democratic support which he requires to effectuate his program. His mounting to the ivory tower well in advance of the 1954 elections was followed by a rapid retreat, prompted by the professionals no doubt, but which quickly got him involved in the losing cause of Paul Troast, candidate for Governor of New Jersey. Though he professed full confidence in the loyalty of Harry Truman he turned Brown ell loose to launch an attack which automatically called that loyalty into question, and at his press conference seemed .con fused over the proportions the affair had assumed. Native in tuition' should have told him to weigh carefully any such broad side against the former Presi dent. ' Reston's concluding sentence does .have application, however. He writes that in politics as in golf, a backswing is little good without a follow-through." Presi dent Eisenhower, who loves to plar golf, should practice on his "follow through" in the White House.
