Newspaper Page Textf- Matter of Fact Stawart Alio THE BEAT-EISENHOWER PLAN Washington While Senator Taft is straining to beat General Eisenhower at the Republican convention in July, President Truman is blocking out his plan lor defeating the General in the election in November. This is the real meaning of the other wise amazing Presidential gyra tion of recent weeks. The President's idea of his own role in his party is that of a pilot who charts the ship s fu ture course before he leaves the bridge. Until fairly recently, the course he was charting was laid out in the belief that Senator Taft would be the Republican nominee. With Taft as the Republican standard - bearer, the President rightly anticipated that foreign policy would be the main issue of the campaign. Being firmly convinced that national survival depends on the continuity of American foreign policy, Tru man tackled his problem with the sobriety he reserves for the weightiest issues. The result was a beat-Taft plan based on unify ing the Democratic Party, and attracting the maximum num ber of moderate independents I DRIVE Kl theatre TONIGHT kin. Anethw .

Both the great factions among the Democrats were to be con ciliated by the nomination of Governor Stevenson of Illinois for the Presidency and Sen. Rich ard Russell of Georgia for the Vice Presidency, Civil rights and other controversial domestic issues were to be subordinated. Persons of every sort of view on internal policy were to be rallied by the battle cry, "Save freedom in the world." WHEN Senator Taft seemed ' ' t h e probable Republican nominee, Governor Stevenson was Inclined to take the Demo cratic nomination. He changed his mind about it after New Hampshire and Minnesota. Presi dent Truman took a bit longer to decide that his plan for beat- ting Taft might well be out of date. But there Is no doubt at all that beating General Eisen hower is the problem he Is seek ing to solve at present. Ihe beat-Eisenhower plan is almost the exact opposite, both in mood and content, of the beat-Taft plan. With General Eisenhower as the Republican nominee, the President does not expect foreign policy to be s dominant issue. By all the signs moreover, he feels a strong sense of release because foreign policy will be out of the way, and the coming campaign will thus not be such a solemn, Iife-and-death business. At any rate, the beat-Eisenhower plan casts partv unitv to the winds. The President in clines to think that nothing can prevent the General from mak ing inroads in the South. Hence, anticipated losses in the South are partly to be balanced by the strongest kind of line on civil rights, which is to attract a solid Negro vote to the Demo crats in the North. By the same token, the Presi dent suspects moderate, middle class voters may be hard to de tach from Eisenhower. Hence losses in this sector are to be compensated for by the most powerful appeals to every sort oi special interest in lower- in- come groups. General Eisenhow er is meanwhile to be portrayed as the unwitting tool of the sinister barons of big business. right perhaps in his Instinct. but the prisoner of those who would oppress the farmer, en- cnam me laboring man and grind the faces of the down. trodden. fPHE broad outlines of this Tru- man strategy were clearly re vealed in his speech to the convention of the Americans for Democratic Action. As one of them remarked, Truman pleased the A.D.A. members so much that they went away convinced "Harry Vaughan wasn't really very different from Harry Hop kins."

Dead line on Clannfftwt Adtr S 3ft p m, lor following day; 10 a.m. Mon day; noon Saturday for Sunday a.m Eisenhower plan is also revealed by a truly astonishing but hither to secret fact. As previously reported In this space, President Truman's origin al choice for Democratic key noter was Sen, Hubert Hum phrey of Minnesota, the author of the 1948 Civil Rights plank and the man the Southerners hate most. It can now be re ported further that the President never receded from his first choice. In fact, Truman's pleas for Humphrey were simply ig nored by Democratic Chairman Frank McKinney and the mem bers of the Party Executive Committee when they met in Chicago and handed the key noter's assignment to Governor Dever of Massachusetts. This is only one of the storm signals already produced by the President's scheme to defeat General Eisenhower by splitting his own party and rallying the Left. There are likely to be many more storm signals in the future, followed by a major typhoon at the Democratic Con vention, if General Eisenhower is the Republican choice. Mean while, however and this should irritate the Republicans Tru man none the less retains his power of maneuver. If Senator Taft is nominated by the Re publicans, the strategy can be altered overnight. Judging by the groans of the leading Demo crats as they contemplate their present prospects, all factions W the party will then co-operate with relief and delight in the beat-Taft plan, vhich will unite them all.
