raft JEisenKower Movement Growing;
Operators Claimed Less Than Contented
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Prtsi Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The draft
Eisenhower movement is moving
ainn t)iop1v today but its oper
ators are some
thing consider
ably less than
contented.
Some of them
are fearful that
even if the
President runs
and wins again
in 1956, he
may not bring
a Republican
Congress back
They call Mr.
w
-J?
Lyle C Wilson
to Washington.
Eisenhower by far the strongest
candidate the Republican Party
could nominate.
There seems to be no double
talk in the confidence expressed
by many Republicans here that
the President could defeat any
Democratic presidential nominee
presently in sight. That includes,
of course. Gov. Averell Harri
man of New York. Sen. Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee, Adlai E.
Stevenson, the 1952 Democratic
nominee, and the numerous field.
Television Appeal Counts
There is no doubt whatsoever
that Mr. Eisenhower will be nom
inated unless he takes, himself
out of the contest in words of
ona syllable. Republican National
Committee Chairman Leonard
W. Hall touched on the party
anxiety Tuesday in a talk before
an assembly of Republican wom
en leaders. His remarks boiled
down to this: The GOP must
come up with better congres
sional candidates capable of
modern television campaigning if
they are to oust Democrats from
congresional control.
Hall Thought Convinced
It has appeared here for some
time that Hall was convinced
Mr. Eisenhower would run again.
The chairman has been devoting
his own political skill to the
problem of returning a Repub
lican Congress. The . President
scorned a recent news confer
ence suggestion that his prefer
ence for a late national nominat
ing convention and a 6hort cam
paign was a solid hint that he
would be the party's 1956 candi
date. 'Bosh," said the President.
But it will take more than bosh
to conceal the facts of Republi
can strategy. A late convention
and a short campaign are tai
lored to measure for a renomi
nated president.
President 'Best Advertised
After four years in the White
House, a president is the best "ad
vertised man in the nation. Hp
has a guaranteed attentive TV,"
radio and newspaper audience.
A new man needs an earlier con
vention and a longer campaign
to put across to the voters his
charm, personality, policies and
vote appeal. Those are the facts
and they were well established
by Franklin D. Roosevelt who
always sought a short campaign
as his stature in the nation grew
and his Republican opponents
Crowds Appear as
Pope Observes
79fh Birthday
Vatican City (U.R) Pope
Pius XII made a three-minute
appearance at his studio win
dow overlooking St. Peter's
Square today on his 79th birth
day and the 16th anniversary of
his election as head of the Ro
man Catholic Church.
About 8000 pilgrims below,
including many from the United
States, filled the square with
shouts of "Viva II Papa" when
the white-robed figure appeared.
Looks Frail, Voice Strong
The Pontiff looked frail as he
raised his arms in his familiar
gesture that seemed to embrace
all who saw him. But his voice
was strong and vibrant when
he spoke the papel benediction.
An unprecedented number of
messages arrived at the Vatican
from all over the world.
Three months ago today when
the Pontiff suffered his near
fatal collapse hardly anyone be
lieved that he could live to cele
brate today's ' double anniver
sary. Now he is in better health
than he has been in more than
a year.
But he is suffering from pain
ful rheumatism in his right
shoulder, sources close to him
said. Doctors started infrared
treatments for this on Saturday,
they added.
Twitch in Eye
The sources said the Pope
also has developed a slight
twitch of the right eye. They
said this was apparently linked
with the rheumatic complaint.
Pageantry in connection with
the Pope's double anniversary
is traditionally reserved for
March 2, the anniversary of his
coronation as Pope.
Pope Pius hopes to attend the
ceremony this year in the
Sistine Chapel.
President Grover Cleveland
rejected an appeal in 1893 to
have Hawaii annexed to the Un
ited States.
sent relatively unknown oppon
ents at him.
When Hall proposed and Mr.
Eisenhower agreed to the late
convention and short campaign,
they either were aware of those
facts or they were unbelievably
ignorant of some of the funda
mentals of presidential politics,
which isn't likely.
The forces that brought about
Mr. Eisenhower's nomination in
1952 are moving again. Exam

ticket. Former Speaker Joseph
W. Martin's repeated endorse
ment of Eisenhower for '56.
Former Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, of New York, is a mere
lawyer now, but he is also a
smart politician. Dewey has been
at the White House telling the
President face to face that it is
up to him to head the party
ticket again in 1956.

ers throughout the nation and
such dignitaries as President
Eisenhower, Chief Justice Earl
Warren, and California Gov.
Goodwin J. Knight.

Tangent Seedman
Freed on Bail
Albany, Ore. (U.R) Frank T.
Glaser, one of the largest seed
producers in the state, was free
on $2,000 bail after his arrest
yesterday on charge j of mis
branding perennial rye grass
seed.
Glaser, of Tangent, was for
mally charged with attempting
to obtain money under false pre
by a Linn County Circuit Court
grand jury-Monday,
tenses. He was indicted secretly
Glaser is accused of having
delivered to the seed firm of
Northrup & King some 1866
bags of perennial rye grass seed
tagged to indicate that it con
tained less than five per cent by
weigh of common seed.
The indictment asserted that
the seed, instead, was substand
ard. Glaser, it was asserted, had
"unlawfully, feloniously and
willfully" intended to defraud
the buyer.
F. E. Price, director of the
Oregon State College experi
ment station, said the alleged
violation was the first of its kind
in the history of the state's cer
tification program.
The seed lot involved, some
186,000 pounds, would have
brought Glaser about $37,000.

veto a pending tax measure if
Democrats succeed in keeping a
$20-a-person income tax cut in
it.
The New Hampshire Republi
can, who is chairman of the Sen
ate GOP Policy Committe, join
ed other key senators in pre
dicting the Senate will reject the
$20 reduction already approved
by the House.
But Democrats might put it
back later in a House-Senate
conference committee. And the
Senate might go along then to
duck any responsibility for a
$2,800,000,000 drop in corpora
tion income taxes and certain
excise taxes on April 1.
Rejected by Committee
House Democrats last week
put the $20 cut for each taxpay
er and each dependent in an ad
ministration measure calling for
a one-year extension of the cor
poration and excise taxes at
persent rates.
Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D-
Va.) and Sen. Walter F. George
(D-Ga.) joined the seven Repub
licans on the Senate Finance
Committee Tuedsay to vote 9 to
6 against the income tax reduc
tion. All six members voting for
it were Democrats.
The Senate has 49 Democrats
and 47 Republicans.
The Senate is scheduled to
take up the tax measure Friday
or early next week. !
The proposed income tax cut
would result in a loss of revenue?
to the treasury of about $2,300,
000,000. But the loss would be
only about $80,000,000 in fiscal
1956 beginning next Julyl if
the tax reduction became effec
tive next Jan. 1.
Democrats Promise Fight
Despite the Finance Commit
tee action Democratic supporters
of the $20 reduction promised a
vigorous fight for it on the Sen
ate floor.
"The effort to obtain some re
lief for low income taxpayers
will be carried to the Senate
floor and pushed as vigorously
as possible," Acting Democratic
Senate Leader Earle C. Clem
ents (Ky.) said.
He said he couldn't undern
stand the administration's,, op
position. "I think a tax relief 'bill for
people in the lower income
brackets is justified as a shot in
the arm for our economy," h
said. '
