Nevsmen Comparing New Term
For Ike With Habits of Roosevelt
o
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Prett Correspondent
Washington KU.R) Newsmen
are going back long years into
thp adrnimstration of Frank D
Roosevelt to
match the press
c o n f e r e nee
question - and
answer game
to which re
porters and
President Eis
enhower now
are committed.
The question
now is whether
Lyle C. Wilson Mr. Eisenhow
er will seek renomination. With
FDR, it was whether he would
D shatter precedent and seek
third term. ''
Mr. Roosevelt won his contest
o with. the reporters. He won it
with most of the politicians, too,
baffling them and others with as
fine a line of double talk as ever
was. They never could be sure
8 he was in or out of the contest.
When all the returns were in
and Mr. Roosevelt had been safe-
6 ly renominated for term No. 3,
1! there was dispute whether he
S had wanted to retire or deliber
ately, over a period of years,
had masterminded a brilliant po
litical strategy which could not
fail to obtain his renomination,
Those who did not admire Mr.
Roosevelt called it a phony,
"personally managed draft.
Pattern Now Public .
o Whatever may have been his
motive, the pattern of Mr.
Roosevelt's strategy is public
property now. And there is some
accumulating evidence that Mr,
Eisenhower knows what it was.
'Bosh," smiled the President
this week when a news confer
ence questioner sought to pin
. him on his 1956 political plans.
"Go put on a dunce cap and
stand in the corner," was FDR's
facetious rejoinder to the late
Bob Post, of the New York
Times, when the third term
question bobbed ud first in a
White House conference.
Mr. Roosevelt soon was tell
ing selected intimates directly
and audiences in vaguer terms
that he was not a third term
candidate, something Mr. Eisen
hower also has been telling as
sociates with respect to a second
term. Both Mr. Roosevelt then
0 and Mr. Eisenhower currently
pondered the destructive effect
upon their own prestige and po
litical authority which would
flow from any announcement
that they would not succeed
themselves. ;
Attitudes Differ
o Mr. Eisenhower is not as con
vinced as FDR, at least, pretend
ed to be that any announcement
of retirement would be destruc
tive of authority. But the Presi
dent has remarked that the
politicians have pressed that ar
gument upon him. Personally,
the President has said to inti
mates, he is not sure the politi
cos are right because, after all,
he argues, "I still would be the
President until my term ended."
Be that as it may, Mr: Eisen
hower is refusing to disclose his
1956 political plans other than
to say his record is proof enough
that he would not reject a legiti
mate call to duty. He used much
the same language in 1950-51 in
' parrying questions whether he
would accept a first presidential
nomination. .
Meantime, as in the case of
FDR back in 1938-39-40, party
leaders are beginning to whoop
it up for the President's renomi
nation. Not all of them, of
course, but a great . many to
which each week adds sgme sig
nificant names.
The second term bandwagon,
in fact, has begun to roll. It will
roll right up to the 1956 Repub
lican national convention and
unload an overwhelming major
ity of Eisenhower delegates un
less Mr. Eisenhower, himself,
puts on the brakes.

Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Prese FeatHM Writer
Washington U.PJ What's
new in Washington: ,
It happened in the Senate
cloak room. A
couple of sena
tors were fum
ing over com
m i t tee assign
ments, some
of which are
plums. One re
marked: "That
reminds me of
Abe Lincoln.
Once he was
Harmon Nichols walking along
the street with
two small boys, who were howl
ing at the top of their lungs.
"What's wrong with those kids,
Mr. Lincoln?" somebody asked.
Abe replied: "Same thing as is
wrong with the world. I've got
three walnuts, and they each
want two." .
Seldom you get two U. S. vice-
presidents in the same column.
Anyhow, Alben W, Barkley, the
erstwhile Veep and now sena
tor, is back in his quarters, but
he isn't settled yet. As this is
being written, all he has seen
of Room 110 in the Senate Office
Building he saw by poking his
nose through the door; He didn't
like what he saw. Things were
a mess. His gear is not yet un
packed. His mementoes still are
in boxes. Mrs. Flo Bratten, who
has . been with the gentleman
from Kentucky for 28 years, is
taking charge. The nice little
lady from Cold Spring, Ky.,
looked the room over and de
cided it ought to be repainted.
It's about to be in the same
color as it was before. Pale
green. Mrs. Bratten, who raises
roses and azaleas back home,
thinks it would be nice also to
have some posies around Suite
No. 110. "Mr. Barkley," she
said, 'leaves that up to us girls."
The active vice - president,
Richard M. Nixon, is in some
what a tizzy over a letter he got.
It came from Virginia, starting:
"Dear Mr. Nixon: Please advise
at your earliest convenience
when I can have a short talk
with you. I am a Texan, state
wise, who ran off and left his
wife near Coburg, Germany. The
last I saw her, she was riding
to work on her bike in an early
morning snow. I need your help
m order that I might find her.
I feel her all around me, but she
is not in my arms. Our love
affair is only half complete. Her
name is Anna."
The congressmen are busy al
ready writing letters to the folks
back home. In his news letter,
Rep. Sidney R. Yates of Illinois
mentioned something that hap
pened in the Democratic caucus
that preceded the opening of
Congress. Pert Mrs. Iris Butch,
the new congresswoman from
Georgia, defeated Don Wheeler
in the recent primary. Wheeler
had pitched the Democratic base
ball team to many a victory in
the congressional ball game that
is played in the name of charity
each year. When Mrs. Blitch
was introduced, according to
Yates, somebody whispered:
"Can she pitch?"

D e p o e Bay, Ore. U.R)
