FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN ASS'N of Medford 27 North Holly An Institution Dedicated To Those Who Save Today and Tomorrow By Walter Lippmann THE ISSUE IN 1956 If we make two assumptions, it is possible, so it seems to me, .to see what will be the crucial question in the 21 4Sm Walter Lippmann IT " J presid e n t i a 1 l-sf a first assumn- tion is that there will be no change for the worse in the level of em ployment and prices. The sec ond is that the United States will not become involved in a war, even a small one. If these two assumptions hold, the crucial question will be which candidate is the more likely to occupy the ground on which Eisenhower has stood since the mid-term election of 1954. WHAT is that ground? It is the ground in the middle the area, if one likes to put it that way, of me-tooism where on the basic questions of war and peace, economic stability, wel fare measures, human rights and government under the law, the two parties differ in degree and detail rather than in substance and on the fundamentals. During his first two years, Eisenhower was in serious trou ble and far from being a happy and successful President. There were indeed ominous similarities with the administration of Gen. Grant. One of the most signifi cant political facts of these times is that Eisenhower's enormous success and popularity as Presi dent began after the extremist factions of his party were de feated in the mid-term elections of 1954. Only since then has Eisenhower been able to occupy that middle ground on which he is now standing. ... THE situation could be changed by a war or a depression. But given prosperity and no war, the winning ground is this mid dle ground. The battle inside both parties and between the parties is for the possession of that ground. The question for the Republicans is whether they can have Eisenhower himself or a replacement who can hold the ground where Eisenhower stands. The question for the Democrats "is whether they can seize that ground. All of this is not to say that there are no important differ ences in the political and social philosophies of Eisenhower and Stevenson. There are. Eisen hower, for instance, is strongly disposed to let things alone, and to let what is remain what it is. Stevenson is more conscious that the world is moving and How about some Whipped Cream for those Thanksgiving Pies? Each gallon of delicious BUNNYCREST MILK is topped by lots of rich sweet CREAM.

This difference of outlook can have great consequences in the long run. It would have great conse quences in time of crisis. But for 1956, assuming that nothing happens to arouse pop ular passions, the Republicans and Democrats will struggle for possession of the middle ground. THERE is strong evidence in both parties to support the thesis that the middle ground is felt to be the winning ground. If Eisenhower does not run again, Warren is by a large mar gin the second choice not only of his admirers but of profes sional politicians who are look ing for a winner. Why? Because Warren appeals to the great middle mass of the voters which includes the Eisenhower Repub licans, the independents, and outside the South the Eisen hower Democrats. Both Eisen hower and Warren are opposed to the extremist factions. Nei ther has ever stooped to cut throat politics, to the notion that politics is a dirty game which should be played by dirty means, to the notion that in the name of Americanism it is good poli tics to spew forth innuendos of treason. - Both Eisenhower and Warren believe, one might say, that there is a brotherhood of man, indeed that there is such a thing as the brotherhood of Americans, and that it matters much more than who wins the next election. And that in the final analysis is the moral faith of those who stand on the middle ground. ... 1XTIEN the Democrats took ' over the control of the Sen ate after the 1954 election, Sen. Lyndon Johnson, with sharp discernment, seized the middle ground. He set out to demon strate to the country that the Democratic party is as well able as Eisenhower to stand on that middle ground. Sen. Johnson may even have done better than that. He may have proved that Eisenhower never had a solid stance until he supplanted Sen ator Knowland as leader of the Senate. Senator Johnson's policy in Congress did much, it seems to me, to prepare the way, for the renewal of Stevenson's political popularity. Stevenson stands naturally on the ground that the Congressional Democrats chose to make their own. By tempera ment, by conviction, and on his record, Stevenson is a man of the middle. He is the very oppo site of a factional politician who plays for the extremes, of a rip snorting partisan who will stoop to anything to win. Like Eisen hower and Warren he cares for the community of American men and women, and he carries him self as one who believes that it is the duty of a politician to do nothing to divide that commun-' ity irreparably, and that it is his duty to be a healer of the na tion's discords. ... IT IS "VERY significant indeed, it seems to me, that the three men who have the widest popu lar support for President are Eisenhower, Warren and Steven son. For what this signifies is that, there is no important po litical, much less ideological, di vision among the preponderant mass of Americans, and that what they will be looking for in 1956 is a man who reflects faith fully what is common to them.
