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.

Resum
e
By JIM BECKER
PANMUNJOM W The Com
munists resumed their explana
tions to Red prisoners of the Ko
rean War Monday after an 11
day break and the interviews
quickly shifted to shouting, oath
laden tirades. -
North Korean POWs shouted
abuse at countrymen . attempting
to win them back to Communism.
They spat and threw their hats
at the Red offficers, pounded on
tables and benches, writhed in the
arms of patient Indian guards and
attempted to kick over field tables
in the interview tents.
One small prisoner sat with
clenched fists shouting, "It's a
lie! It's a lie! It's a lie!" over
and over again. And the Red of
ficer shouted "lie" in a stream
right back at him.
It became apparent that the
Reds could not complete talks
with the approximately 500 vPOWs
from the single, compound Mon
day. Compound Per Day
The Indians- have insisted
that the Reds handle one com
pound a day, either interviewing
all the POWs in the compound the
first time or forfeit the opportun
ity... The Communist explainers kept
some of the POWs as long as 2
hours Monday, berating them
about why they should return
home.
Some prisoners threw shoes at
the explainers and shouted "ex
planations" of their own, telling
why the Red officers should go to
South Korea.
Going to College
After lengthy explanations to one
prisoner, the Red officer' asked
what he wanted to do. The prison
er answered that he was going to
college in South Korea.
"But we have wonderful colleges
in North Korea now," the explain
er said smoothly.
"Yes, yes; I know, the prisoner
laughed. "Not only do you have
no collges, but I was thrown , out
of high school for being a
Christian. You have wonderful op
portunities there."

It measured seven feet three inch

petshop operator and snake im
porter. Mowrer said he just got a
glimpse at the reptile and identi

He said he had imported a
number of them and sold them as

this one got away from a customer.--
