G Washington (U.R) President
Eisenhower is maneuvering to
seize the political offensive from
Democrats in
the 84th Con
gress and to
keep it as the
session un
folds. The Eisen
hower fan club
around town
is betting on
Ike. The E-F-C
. , . is prejudiced
Itfle C- Wilson and their bets
don't guarantee that the Presi
dent will get away with it
But is is a ,$act that Mr. Eisen
hower is adjusting himself to big
league politics. The magazine
'VNewsweek" in its Jan. 10 issue
. fiasa run down on White House
politics devoted largely to iden
tiliying and estimating and
horsepower of the President's
political advisers. The magazine
quotes an unidentified Republi
can veteran like this:
"Ike's , a natural-born politi
cian potentially as good as
Franklin D.o Roosevelt. He gets
along with people instinctively."
The judgment continued that

been slow to reach decisions but
that they were sound politically
when finally made. Practice is
quickening Mr. Eisenhower's
political reflexes.
Go for 'Little Man'
a presidential decision now
fixed firmly past all modifica
tion is that the Republcain party
must make a more direct appeal
to the so-called little man. That
was FDR's major stock in trade
and his most valuable asset. Mr,
Eisenhower plans to make it his
asset, too. ;
FDR told millions that they
were "ill-housed, ill-fed and ill-
clothed" and kept right on
punching with promises to do
things big and immediate about
it. Former President Harry S
Truman, probably the best poli
tician ef the lot, carried on like
wise, but slugging where FDR
daintily boxed.
Mr. Eisenhower is more in the
Roosevelt pattern, a charmer
with a smile plus determination
to persuade some millions of lit
tle fellows who marched under
the Roosevelt and Truman ban
ners that they would be better
off now in the Republican pa
rade. That will be quite a chore
because Mr. Eisenhower also is
committed to a comparatively
sound or nard m o n e y pro
gram designed to check inflation
and to an agricultural policy
President Jose A. Remon today
reported growing indications his
assassins were "triggermen" sent
here from abroad, possibly by
the Communists.
The National Assembly has
proclaimed a 10-day "state of
siege" modified martial law
to aid the investigation and more
than 30 persons are under arrest,
but the identity and motives of
the tommy-gun slayers are still
a mystery.
The entire. National Guard
(army) has been alerted for a
possible revolutionary attempt,
but no disorders have been re
ported in the country since the
slaying Sunday night.
Spokesman Blames Reds
In New York, Ernesto de la
Ossa, head of the Panamanian
delegation to the United Nations,
said Monday night he believed
the assasination was "Commu
nist inspired." He told a radio
reporter that Remon was "a vig
orous anti-Communist in a coun
try high on the Communist tar
get list" and "I would bet my
life it was a Communist plot."
Reports that a "mysterious
"gun moll" gave the signal for
the shooting led to the errest of
two Panamanian women", Thel
ma King and.Olga Yanis. So far
nothing has been proved against
them except that both were on
the scene and both were carry
ing revolvers in their handbags.
The two women had been
known as supporters of ex-president
Arnulfo Arias, arrested as
a suspect, but both are said re
cently to have switched their al
legiance to the relatively un
known PRI party.
Leader in Honduras
Norberto Navarro, principal
leader of the PRI, has been liv
ing in Honduras for some
months, but he came here for
the Christmas holidays.
The lack of revolutionary ac
tivity weakened the presumptive
case against Arias, whose only
likely motive for engineering
the -assassination of Remon
would be to try to seize control
of the government.
Authorities here are leaning
more and more to the theory
that the killing was an "outside
job." if only because of the cool
ly professional way in which it
was carried out. They doubted
that any of Panama's known op
position gunmen would have
been capable of such efficiency.
Remon was killed in the bar
at the Juan Franco racetrack,
where he was celebrating the
victory of one of his horses in a
Sunday race.

which unquestionably will re
duce farm subsidies.
But watch for the President's
recommendations for higher
minimum wages, extended So
cial Security, government aid in
housing, federal support of medi
cal insurance and .such-like.
Most of these in their infancy
were the . bright banners of
FDR's New Deal. As party
builders and vote-getters they
have proved out.
Needs Catch Phrase
The President has not yet
come up with a catch phrase
comparable to New Deal or Mr.
Truman's Fair Deal. Mr. Eisen
hower's best to date is moderate
progressivism which has no po
litical sex appeal at all. But the
phrase may yet come. His catch
phrase used to be Middle of the
Road. The new one suggests a
shift toward an area FDR. used
to call just left of center.
All of this annoys the right
wing Republicans in Congress,
which seems not to disturb Mr.

advice from Republican conser

HalL however, is Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon. Of members
of Congress, perhaps Rep."
Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind.) has
the best in. Halleck was House
floor leader in the expiring 83rd
Congress.
Judgment varies as to who is
actually No. 1 White House adH
visor. This correspondent would
nominate JUilton Eisenhower,
the President's younger brother,
a New Dealer' during FDR's re
gime and now president of Penn
sylvania State College.
Although he gets relatively
little, conservative advice from
Republicans in Congress, Mr.
Eisenhower gets a lot of it from
past and present associates in
and out of the cabinet. He ac
cepts some of it, too. But for the
long haul, the President is at
tempting to make the Republi
can party fast to new political
moorings.

Pope Pius Suffers
Return of Hiccups
Vatican City (U.R) . Ail
ing Pope Pius XII suffered a
return of his hiccups last night
and his doctors have warned
him again against overwork.
The papal physician,' Dr. Ric
cardo Galeazzi-Lisi, told 'the 78-year-old
pontiff he. must get
more rest. Vatican sources said
today. -
The sources said the Pope has
insisted on performing an in
creasing number of church ac
tivities despite warnings from
all five doctors treating him.
They have told the Pope . over
work will halt his slow march
toward recovery from his near
fatal collapse of Dec. 2.
Vatican quarters emphasized
there was no special cause for
alarm in the unexpected return
of the hiccups.
They said the basic danger to
the pope this winter has been
his tendency to consider him
self stronger than he actually
is.
