New Agreement A Nkhol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington CU.F) Nobody is going to back me in p corner and tell me how to vote. But at the moment, I have an "I Like I ke" Hanky in the pocket of my jacket. There's another one in my right hip pocket for practical pur- Harman Nichols poses Only. On my feet are a pair of "Ike" stockings. One red; the other blue. Complimentary tints, they say. All I have to do to adver tise the fact that the man in the White House wants a new lease on it is to sit in a soda bar and lift a pantleg. These items of attire were gathered at a local hotel where Republican political leaders de scended upon us. It was almost impossible not to walk away without evidence that you had visited the GOP camp. Collectors of buttons and bows were all over the place and a press agent made sure they didn't miss a wrinkle. Back there before the last election the "I Like Ike" decora tions were popular in certain tircles. With the GOP convention toming up in San Francisco, tome things have been changed, Still Liked Now it's buttons like "I Still Like Ike." Another mellon sized button that could cover a whole bosom says: "For The Love Of Ike Vote Republican." There also is a balloon that even a kid can puff out. When he sits on it or squeezes it, a raspy something comes out that sounds a little like "Ike." There 'are both items for the tots who will be voters later. A "T" shirt with a likeness of our leader on the front side, for instance. The one I picked up was size 3. "r happen to be a 42. It hung over my parakeet. Timmy, like an overgrown shawl. But a three-year-old toddler next door thought it was nice and is run ning around the neighborhood spreading the Republican gospel. Candy, Too You also can get Ike candy for the young fry. Another thing on exhibit was a cigarette holder pleading a cause. It was pretty, flimsy, but if you pack it away, it might last until election day. My wife hates raincoats on account of she has a closet full of sprinkle, sticks. But the Re publicans have them in rainbow colors with big bold letters: "Womanpower For Eisenhower." For women who must act like omen and stay in the kitchen, there are pot holders. Magnetized and bear the "Ike" label. Only gatherings at small parties will ever see these holders for the pots, but they are there, none-the-less, for the looking. When the man handed me a bow tie with an "Ike" on each wing, I had to turn it in for a dangler or the long kind of tie. I never learned to tie a bow.
