Republicans, Democrats Clash Over Eisenhower's Future in White House
GOP Basing Plans
On Assumption of
Ike-Nixon Ticket
Chicago U.R) The top brass
of the Republican and Demo
e cratic parties, both meeting in
Chicago today, have clashed
headon over whether President
Eisenhower will run again for
the White House.
GOP National Chairman Leon
ard Hall said he is basing all
his campaign plans on the as
sumption that it will be "Ike
and Nixon" for the Republicans
in 1956.
But Democratic National
Chairman Paul M. Butler, hold
ing a simultaneous news con
ference late yesterday, doubted
whether the President wants a
second term.
Match Prediction!
"I don't believe he is happy
as president," Butler said. "He
doesn't appear to be enjoying
the responsibility of his office."
Hall and Butler matched pre
dictions as laders of both parties
met to plan their 1946 presiden
tial conventions.
The Democrats also gathered
together 15 party farm experts,
including two former agricul
ture secretaries, to lay the
groundwork for what they hope
will be a potent farm policy
plank next year.
Hall predicted Mr. Eisenhower
will announce his 1956 plans
"pretty well" before the GOP
convention at San Francisco. "
Referring to the President,
Hall said "We're going to have
the most popular candidate in
history at our convention. We've
got the climate for victory
peace and prosperity."
Family Consideration
Butler retorted "If I were in
Mr. Hall's shoes I would be very
unhappy if I didn't think he
(Mr. Eisenhower) would be a
caKlidate."
He added that "those family
considerations that I got hell for
mentioning a while ago" would
also play a part in making the
presidency less attractive to Mr.
Eisenhower. .
Butler referred to his state
ment last March that Mrs. Eis
enhower's health might be a de
ciding factor in her husband's
political plans. Republicans ac
cused Butler at the time of re
sorting to smear tactics.
The Democratic leader went
on to attack the President for
"probably spending less time at
the job of President than any
other President in the 20th cen
tury."
Argue Over Farmers
Mr. Eisenhower is more inter
ested in helping "his big business
friends than the nation's farm
ers, Butler charged, and his ad
ministration has followed t
"callous" and "unsympathetic"
farm policy.
Claude R. Wickard, former
secretary of agriculture and
chairman of the Democrats'
Farm Advisory Committee, back
ed up Butler by warning that
American farmers are heading
for a depression.
Hah, snapping back at Butler,
said the Democratic leader
"talks a lot and 'does nothing."
The farm price drop was caus
ed by a Democratic law and
two-thirds of the slump occurred
in the Truman administration
Hall said.
He defended Vice-President
Richard M. Nixon as' "one of
our best campaigners and fight
ers and said the issue of Sen
. Joseph R. McCarthy "is so far
back that you almost never hear
of it."

Mississippi Trial

Government Job
To End Mystery
Washington (U.R) There is at
least one government agency
whose job is to do away with
mystery.
The Army's Procurement In
formation Center is the agency
whose main job is to eliminate
the "mystery from doing busi
ness with the military," the
Army announced.
Since the center's organiza
tion in 1949, they have answered
30,000 queries about contracts.
The vast scope of military pur
chases makes it difficult for busi
nessmen to " locate the proper
source of a particular govern
ment contract, the Army said.
So the PIC was born to provide
a central source to which all
businessmen could apply and re
ceive at no cost information
on government contracts.
Lt. Col. Robert E. Covington,
present chief of the center, said:
, ''The PIC offers a service of
value both to private business
and to the Army. The more man
ufacturers aware of the govern
ment's interest in competitive
bidding, the more the Army
stands to save on contracts. We
welcome inquiries."
Which Office?
Covington operates with a staff
of six civilians. They also pro
vide similar information for the
Air Force.
However, there are more than
630 Army and Air Force pur
chasing offices in the country
handling different types of bids.
The main problem for a business
man is tofind out which office
he should contact, the Army
said.
The PIC furnishes by mail the
location of the purchasing of
fice for , the type of goods a
manufacturer offers.
The center maintains a display
of all unclassified "invitations to
bid." Because of the vast num
bers of these, this particular in
formation is not disseminated by
mail. '
Each broad category of sup
plies is assigned to a contracting
office of the branch of service
with primary responsibility.
There all purchases are formally
advertised, the Army said.
4" Inquiries should be directed
to: The Procurement Informa
tion Center, Room 732, Old Post
Office Building, Washington 25,
D. C.
