TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, February 21, 1956 Effort To Bounce Hlxon From GOP Ticket Supported By LYLE C. WILSON , : United Press Correspondent Washington U.R) The movement to bounce Vice-President Richard M. Nixon off the 1956 Republican ticket has won some powerful support close to President Eisenhower. The arguments against Nixon include: he is perhaps the most controversial figure in American national politics. He is too young 43. The vice-presidency will be of unusual importance if Mr. Eisenhower seeks and gets a second term. Democratic condemna tion .of his campaign tactics have hurt his position with the public. Democrats are ready to center their campaign attack on any man "who stands a heart-beat from the presidency." ; I' ' , ;-' . The foregoing are basic in the stop-Nixon effort. They ado up to the belief, or fear, of some influential persons that Nixon would cost the national ticket votes if he were on it again this year. There is no evidence so far that Mr. Eisenhower is impressed by the arguments for dropping Nixon in 1956. On the contrary, Mr. Eisenhower's public words and acts have been enthusiastically favorable to the vice-president. I 1 Mai ' The President fielded Demo cratic complaints against Nixon's 1954 campaign tactics with a note of con- . gratula t i o n s on his speeches and campaign line. That en dorsement cov ered Nixon's discussion . of Communist in- infiltration of g o v e r nment during the i vi c. Wilson Roosevelt and Truman adminis trations. ' Mr. Eisenhower also is on rec ord that an individual nominated for president should refuse the nomination if he were not satis fied with the party's choice for second place. There has been a boom of late in confidence that Mr. Eisenhower shortly would announce his availability for re nomination. Approves Conduct That is what fired up the ef fort to displace Nixon. On the basis of information generally available, it will take a tremen dous effort to supplant - Nixon with another if the President runs again. There is the sturdy evidence that Mr. Eisenhower likes his young friend and ap proves of his conduct as . vice president and as a party cam paigner. That approval abund antly embraces whatever Nixon may have said in the 1954 cam paign about the Democratic Party leadership and the Com munist infiltration of govern ment. ., V It is well known here ' that Mr. Eisenhower does not intend to go barnstorming this year if he does accept renomination. He will not campaign in the usual, physical sense of the world at least he says he won't. The cam paign load will fall chiefly on the Republican vice-presidential candidate. Can Carry Load . Nixon has shown that he can carry that kind of load to Mr. Eisenhower's satisfaction, re gardless of what others may say about it. Former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, " is another rough and ready Repub . lican campaigner. He proved it, finally, in the 1950 gubernatorial campaign; There are others, but not many. Dewey is not serious ly discussed for the spot anyway. All good Republicans are not good . campaigners, . capable of the physical and mental strain of a national campaign in a presi dential year. The jstop-Nixon strategists'must come up with a substitute . who can perform on the stump. That is their first problem.- , They are thinking more, however, of a man who might suddenly succeed to the presidency Their second task will be to persuade Mr. Eisen how that their man would do a better job for him than would Nixon. v It won't be easy. Mr. Eisen hower seems committed. But he has been firmly, committed be fore this on such largely per sonal political decisions as this one would be. And under pres sure, he has been persuaded to concede. The stop-Nixon advisers are betting they can persuade him again. However that may be,' look for the drop-Nixon ef fort to hit hard the moment Mr. Eisenhower announces that he will run again. It' could come any time now, if it is coming at all. .v.;-..;--, - " .;; Sacred' Cows Pose Serious India Problem New Delhi, India -(U.P.) A herd of more than 1,000 "sacred" cows on the loose in the lush farmlands some 150 miles north of here today posed a serious problem for the government.; Some 17,000 peasants, long torn between religious accept ance of the "holy" beasts and exasperation at their marauding, have threatened a "no rent" strike unless the government finds some way to shoo off the sacred menace. ., For several years, the wild cows have . been staging night raids on blooming fields, munch ing unmolested on choice tidbits of green wheat shoots. To keep the hungry, bad-tempered beasts from trampling down croplands, gorging themselves , on . greens and then bedding down for naps, peasants have been . forced to stand guard 24 hours a day.
