Russia was not mentioned, but we left with a definite feeling

than it has recently been, but

Finally we got the clear Impression as the "thank you, Mr.

Matter of Fact
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO IKE
Washington The real story
behind Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower's Abilene speech casts a
lot of light on a problem that
has been puzzling a lot of peo
pie.
To be blunt about it, a lot of
people are asking, "What's hap
pened to Ike?" In the days be
fore he became a Presidential
candidate, the Eisenhower magic
was singularly reliable. Almost
everything he did and said elec
trically conveyed an impression
of major leadership of a per
sonality large and f o r ce f u 1,
warm and sincere. But now the
magic works only about 80 per
cent of the time; and it has been
particularly absent when it was
most needed, in the big, impor
tant televised speeches.
The story of the Abilene
speech tells why. Both the gen
eral and his coalition of political
managers saw that this opening
gun of his personal campaign
might all but win the battle.
Eisenhower envisioned it mainly
as an expression of his own be
liefs about America. He worked
long and alone on the first draft,
to get his real feelings into the
speech.
This is, of course, the Inner
essence of the Elsenhower magic,
He is not wilty. He is not re
markably original. His views are
the views of an average, common-sensible
intelligent man.
What makes him big is simply
his deep, genuine belief in the
vital, simple things,- and what
makes people respond and warm
to him is his power to project
this deep belief. No one who has
seen the first draft for Abilene,
which Elsenhower sent to this
country for criticism, can doubt
that It contained this essence of
the Eisenhower magic.
AS A speech, this first draft
was not perfect, to be sure.
It was too long. As a concession
to the political character of the
occasion, it included too much
rather threadbare verbiage on
such standard topics as the vir
tues of a balanced budget and
the evils of bureaucracy.
Yet the emotions of the man
also came through, almost poet
ically, as when he spoke of the
founding fathers' struggle to cre
ate a society of equal opportu
nity "out of the brambles of
men's passions and prejudices,
out of the wilderness of nature."
And satisfylngly often, the
speech rose to an elevated note,
far above the alternate mum
bling and shrillness that char
acterizes most political oratory.
Tnke, for example, his short
statement of the spiritual origin
of political liberty:
You cannot hold freedom in
your hand, any more than you
can hold the soul of a man or a
nation. Freedom is of the spirit,
and only by the spirit of men
can It be effectively maintain
ed." This was the way to get across
the true image of Eisenhower
as a national leader. And at
Abilene, it was for more need
ful to get across this personal
image to the waiting nation than
to deal with specific political
issues which would be left until
later.
Unfortunately, this need was
not grasped when Gen. Lucius
D. Clay transmitted Elsenhow
er's first draft to the chieftains
of the Eisenhower coalition.
These men, after all, are season
ed politicians. Every seasoned
politician has his own notion
of the right kind of speech.
which is, inevitably, the kind of
speech he makes himself. By the
same token, the virtues of the
first draft for Abilene lay pre
cisely In the patches where It
least resembled the speeches of
other politicians.
TIENCE many criticisms vol
leyed back to Paris. Revi
sion began, making the speech
much flatter, tar more conven
tional, with the Eisenhower
quality tremendously diluted.
When the general reached this
country, ther wu some further

tinkering, such as the addition of
the much too obviously political
references to the Yalta Confer
ence and the loss of China. The
result of this tinkering was what
Elsenhower took out to Abilene
for his baptism in politics, which
then turned out to be total im
mersion. Under the circumstances, it is
hardly surprising that the Eisen
hower magic at Abilene was
confined to his unprepared ut
terances and spontaneous con
tacts with those who had assem
bled there. It is a mark of Eisen
hower's strength of character
that he quickly sensed some
thing had gone wrong and Insist
ed, at Detroit, on being himself.
But the question and answer
method adopted for the Detroit
speech, although far better than
the careful contriving of the
speech at Abilene, still failed to
project Eisenhower's real large
ness and strength.
There are signs, now, that the
general is at last hitting his own
stride. The Taft forces, who are
so rightfully fearful of the
Eisenhower magic, may well be
smiling out of the other sides
of their mouths before the con
vention. And for the millions
who have faith in Eisenhower as
the man to keep this country
from flabbily subsiding into a
one-party system, and to give
America the leadership America
deserves, the Abilene story
proves that the stuff is in the
man, and is bound, eventually,
to come out.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Senator Taft predicts tn Wash
ington that he and General
Eisenhower will agree at Chi
cago on a foreign policy plank
that will remove any real dan
ger of a split in the Republican
party.
He tells the reporters at a
news conference that he sees no
great difference in principle be
tween him and the general on
either foreign or domestic is
sues. THANK you. Senator. I think
that is a fine gesture on your :
part, matching General Eisen-1
nower s statement at uueiit:
that he will support any candi
date the Republican party is
likely to nominate, assuming
that the platform is one that he
can go along with.
Personally, I don't take much
stock in this "split" talk. It isn't
improbable, of course, that some
disgruntled politicians, failing to
get what they want for them
selves, will go home and sulk in
their tents. But we must remem
ber that while the professional
politicians are big stuff up to
and including the conventions
they don't amount to much once
the conventions are over and the
chips are down.
The common, ordinary voters
take over then. During the cam
paign that will follow the con
ventions, the politicians can pro
vide a certain amount of sound
and fury, but the VOTES will be
provided by the voters and it
will be VOTES that will count
on the fourth day of the coming
November.
I THINK the voters are going to
VOTE THEIR CONVICTIONS
this year. I think the conviction
that is uppermost in the minds
of millions of intelligent,
thoughtful voters is that we need
a change. A COMPLETE change.
Not just a reshifting of a few
key persons at the top. There is
wide and deep feeling that too
much power has been held in
too few hands too long.
That is the big issue this year
and the PEOPLE (not just a
few disappointed politicians) will
settle it come the first Tuesday
after the first Monday of next
November.
TTP in the Horse Heaven coun-
trv of Washington the wheat
growers announce that they are
calling off their rainmaker. In
spite of all his efforts and all
his fancy equipment, it appears
that this year rainfall in the
Horse Heaven hills has been
about an inch BELOW normal.
After all, when it comes to
rainmaking, it's RESULTS that
count. Whether you're an Indian
medicine man, painting your
face and dancing and chanting
incantations, or an exhibitionist
bombarding the skies with an
old-fashioned cannon whose
BOOM BOOM is supposed to
shake the rain loose and send it
cascading down on the thirsty
crops, or a modern scientist pep
pering the clouds with silver io
dide pellets, you have to satisfy
the customers if you're to stay in
business.
When you go through your
rigmarole over and over at so
much per rig and all you get for
your clients is an inch less rain
than normal, you Just have, to
expect a falling off in business.
T CAN'T say that I'm greatly
disappointed as a result of the
failure of the rainmaking cam
paign up in the Horse Heaven
country. When you think of all
the grief that could ensue In an
economy where one man's meat
is another man's poison, where
one crop needs rain and another
fears it, where on any given
holiday half the crowd wants to
go picnicking and the other half
wants to stay home and play
canasta, you get the heebie
jeebies when you think of one
guy holding in his hands the
power to go out and make rain
or stop rain, all depending on
which crowd pays him the most
money. We have trouble enough
as u is.
T MIGHT add that I think I
could have saved these Horse
Heaven wheat men quite a lot of
money and at the same time
could have produced bettor re
sults for them.
My equipment is simple and
Inexpensive, consisting of a
fetching pair of light weight and
light colored pants, buttressed

of the truce talks apparently has
been eased by the visit there of
British Defense Secretary Field
Marshal Earl Elexander. Alex
ander said he believed British
criticism was based mostly on
ignorance.
But on the other two points
the problem in Tunisia and
Egypt are closely linked with
Middle East defense, but also are
home front sore spots respec
tively in France and Britain.
British Annoyed
The British regard us as johnnies-come-lately
in the Middle
East, and have been especially
annoyed because so far we have
refused to approve their de
mands for a British commander
to be in chaged of Eastern Med
iterranean defense.
. Our interest in the Tunisian
case wherein nationalists are
campaigning for more home
rule, has aroused such resent
ment in the French assembly
that Premier Antoine Pinay has
had to come to the rescue of his
foreign minister, Robert Schu
man. Opposition deputies charge
that Schuman has displayed a
week-kneed attitude in carrying
out too quickly the wishes of the
United States.
Both the British and French
the French more so now favor
an early four-power conference
with Russia. It would be in the
hope that a final settlement on
Germany could be reached, ten
sion eased and thus the stagger
ing cost of rearmament reduced.
The U. S. has not opposed the
four-power conference idea but
it first wants ratification of the
West German peace contract and
limitations on the scope of the
talks to prevent them from
turning into another non-stop
marathon for the benefit of Red
propaganda.
