Washington -7-&J.R) President
Eisenhower is firmly recorded as
ennron Vice-President Rich
ard M. Nixon's
1954 campaign
tactics and
feels now that
informed Re-
p u blicans
should defend
them against
Democratic
charges - of a
smear.,;.
Mr. Eisen
i Lyle C. Wilson howe r's ' en
dcrsement was in a campaign
wind-up letter to the vice-president
expressing admiration "for
. done since the opening of the
present campaign." The Presi
dent's feeling that other .Republi
cans familiar with Nixon s cam
paign tactics should rise in their
defense has been expressed pri
vately since Speaker Sam Ray-
burn and numerous other Demo
crats started a hot fire as the
84th Congress convened.
Tl I 1 J. 1 if A. 'KTl .
xt is uiiuersiuuu iiiai, lxixon in
tends to - leave his defense to
others unless their efforts prove
inadequate. In that event, Nixon
probably would utilize his high
station in government to seize
the attention to that which dra-
aj ha a i -
mancaiiy mierrupiea . ms cam
paign for election back in 1952.
Refers To 'Dog Speech
That "was the occasion when
the Republican vice-presidential
nominee, supported by Mrs. Nix
on and the Nixon's dog, Check
ers, made a TV reply to inquiries
about the source and use of his
funds. Meantime, the defense of
Nixon has begun with a Senate
speech by Sen. Everett Dirksen
(R-Ill.) and a sharp statement by
Republican National Committee
Chairman Leonard W. Kali.
To some of Nixon's associates
the present Democratic attack
looks like a double barreled pro
gram: ' ' V
1. To rlisWpHit' rim nf the twrT
men who sought to make the
most effective campaign use of
the charge that Democrats in of
fice had been soft on Communism.
2. To damage Mr. Eisenhower's
political prestige by discrediting
a" close associate who has the
President's publicly avowed con
fidence. Another McCarthy Case
Some observers suggest that
the campaign against Nixon is a
natural supplement to the suc
cessful strategy which laid low
Wisconsin's Sen. Joseph R. Mc
Carthy. The methods of McCar
thy and of Nixon were decidedly
different and the senator zoomed
in and out of areas never ap
proached by the vice-president.
But they were the pair who had
been counted on by a substantial
element of the Republican high
command to raise most effective
ly during the 1954 campaign the
soft - on - Communism ; charge
which so enraged and in some
areas so hurt. the. Democrats, ;;
: - It is one down arid one to go,
as of now, McCarthy, having been
so overwhelmed by a combined
Republican-Democratic attack as
to -be benched during the 1954
campaign. v , , y :j i'; :
. 1 But the Democrats had notable
support in the maneuvers which
brought : McCarthy down: The
Republican party was badly split
on that Nixon may riot be be
loved by all Senate Republicans,
but it is not remotely likely that
any. of them openly would join
the Democrats in any campaign
to knock him out.

Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY '
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood U.R) Holly
wood's newest "Cinderella" is a
local theater play written by a
: " : ; Texas drama
coach that is
neaaea for a
first-class
Broadway
opening. . -For
15 years,
Baruch Lumet
toyed with
drama tizing
incidents of
Jewish : f o 1 k
lore of his na
t i v e Poland.
Finally he fashioned them into
a play, "Once Upon a Taylor,"
that has been running in the tiny
Circle Theater here for 6- weeks.
Hollywood traditionally does
not shine as a theater town. But
the play was such a success it
will be produced on Broadway
in eight weeks by Circle Theater
manager George Boroff and ty
coon Roger Stevens, who has
presented such hits as "Ondine"
and "Tea, and Sympathy", in
New, York. ,"
No Compliments . - ' T,
"When the play opened at the
Circle nobody complimented me
on it ' they were too busy want
ing to invest money in it," Bo
roff said. v.--:y-; .y:--,'-f:r
"Mr.- Stevens, however, want
ed to arrange the financial back
ing himself. My Hollywood
friends were upset because 1
couldn't take their money. It's
an odd thing to say, but money
to produce this play never has
been a problem." ;
Author Lumet is a quiet, be
spectacled fellow who operates
a drama institute in Dallas. Dur
ing his many years as an actor,
he created a character called
"Frenzel" for one-man shows,
and his new play is built around
that character. -
'"Once Upon a Taylor" also
stems from a radio show he
once did in Brooklyn,, and from
his Yiddish play, "The Jester,"
that ran . off Broadway , many
years ago.
'There is no reason why this
play can't be done in a class
way," the writer explained. "It
is not like - The - Goldbergs' or
those other comical cliches.
v-"It is representative folklore,
the type I have performed and
lectured about at universities. It
has universal appeal. ' We hope
Tfaelma Hitter will do the play."
Lumet's other claim to fame
is that he is the father-in-law of
shapely film beauty, Rita, Gam.
His son, Sidney Lumet, is a top
New York "television director.
"Yes, I am pleased about hav
ing a play on Broadway for the
first time," the elder Lumet said
cautiously. "But I won't believe
it until I see it."

Solon Seeks Cause
Of Market Spiral
, Washington (U.R) Rep.
Wright Patnian (D-Tex.) wants
to investigate whether the Fed
eral Reserve Board allowed the
stock market boom: to 'run -unchecked
last fall in an effort to
help Republicans in the congres
sional elections. -
The Texas Democrat said the
boom has not exposed the econ
omy to "a new element of in
stability" and "the Federal Re
serve and the Treasury, are to
blame."
Patman is a member of the
Joint Congressional Economic
Committee which is considering
an inquiry into the stock mar
ket. - . -'
' Noting that the Federal Re
serve last week tightened up on
credit terms for buying . stock,
Patman said he wanted to know
why the board failed to act last
October 'i when "stock prices
began to accelerate." :
"I shall -find out," he ; said,
"whether the fact that the elec
tions were held in the midst of
the spiral was responsible for
the failure to take early preven
tive action."
YAEC Chairman TeJs ;
New Law of Nature -
Washington (U.R) Chairman
Lewis : L. Strauss , of the

"I hope," he told the National

known as Strauss' Law. It goes
to the effect that 'If anything

will. "
