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

and anti-isolationist Republicans
to the Democratic standard.
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ting Taft might well be out of
date.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.

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

that they went away convinced

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
