Larson Discusses Republicanism Of Eisenhower in Recent Book

Washington Arthur Larson.
tt new head of th U.S. Infor
mation Agency, which includes

a 1 ready prov
ed himself to
be one of this
country's more
art iculate in
terpreters an
a b i lity which
"should eerve
him weir in his
important new
assignmrajt. Larson proved it
.jpainly in his recent book, "A
Republican Loo) at His Parry,"
in which he tries fo define the
New RepublicareisrS of Presi
dent Eisenhower and to argue
thg it it a political philosophy

which is here to stay.
The re-election of Eisenhower
makes this book more significant
than ever, for it has been read
approvingly by the president
himself and is, therefore, prob
ably the best handbook now in
print of what the president and
his "New Republican associates
are striving for in government.
Subjective Account
It is. of course, a subjective
account, for Larson was a mem
ber of the Eisenhower team as
labor undersecretary when he
wrote the book. Its publication
just prior to the fall election
campaign put it into the political
tract category.
Nevertheless, It is a very
meaty tract, full of contentions
wliich most Democrats and
many Republicans would not
accept. It is largely an expres
ion of the liberal element in
the GOP which, if it would ad
mit it. feels more uncomfortable
with the doctrines of William
McKinley than those of Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
And yet the New Republican
ism, Larson argues, is not just
the New Deal dressed in a new
double-breasted business suit.
"The humanitarian ideas of the
New Deal were praiseworthy
and have been rightly emulated;
the economic ideas were bad,
and have been rightly discard
ed," he says.
For this reason, the Eisenhow
er administration has extended
social security instead of repeal
ing it; but it has dropped many
restrictions on business instead
them, because it
i v a t e enterprise
of extending
believes "p r
snould be released and encour
aged as the proved motive force
of our economy." He says the
New Deal mistakenly thought
production had reached a peak
and that faulty distribution was
the thing government had to
correct
Heftiest Contention
Probably the heftiest conten
tion to swallow is this:
"It is the genius of the Eisen
hower administration's achieve
ment that it has merged and
brought into balance all the posi
tive forces in our country. It is
not against any of them. It real
izes that they sometimes conflict,
but it has found a way to en
courage them to work together
to a common benefit."
He illustrates this by saying
that the government of McKin
ley's day was against organ
ized labor, and the administra
tion of Roosevelt in 1936 was
against business. "This adminis
tration is against neither, but
is for both," Larson declares.
To boil down Larson's entire
argument, it is that the genius
of the New Republicanism is
that it has found the precise cen
ter of the political spectrum at
a time when the American peo
ple had simultaneously discov
ered great comfort in following
the middle way.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead to 1960, when
the magic of Eisenhower's per
sonality will not be available
on the GOP ticket, Larson thinks
"the Republicans have a strong
chance of staying in power as
representatives of the great ma
jority of the voters" if they have
"candidates who represent the
New Republicanisms, while Dem
ocratic spokesmen are obliged
to attack from one extreme posi
tion or another."
On the other hand, if the Re
publicans were to put up a presi
dential candidate "identified
with an extreme conservative
position" and the "Democrats
were to seize that moment to
choose a nominee ho took over,
the formula of the great middle
way, the Dniocratic candidate
would almost certainly win."
This is based on the question
able contention by Larson that
Q
"in politics as In chess the
manwho hglds t!(e cgritercjiold
a position cf almost unbeatable
strength." As fcfere. the peopla
may again vote in a change in
political philofcSph,.

is that many men think going

hnow. However, did you know
that French bred horses won
16 British classic stakes this
year? These included the Derby,
Oaks. St. Leger and Ascot Cup.
To what is the superiority of
French thoroughbreds due? It is
interesting to note that French
breeders place as much and at
times more importance on the
mare than the stallion in breed
ing. .British breeders are in
clined to place too much im
portance on the stallion and too
little on tfle mare.
Asides
Does your wife snore? If so
you undoubtedly be interested
to know there has been originat
ed what is described as "a liquid
vegetable germicide" which is
claimed to cure snoring. ... It
has been said, "it is all right to
think you're as young as you
used to be but don't try to prove
it " If more men would keep that
in mind there would be many
less cases of heart attack.

TV, Donald O'
Connor said to
day. "When you
are working
every week on
television, you
Aline Mosb7 don't have the
time to assess your personal life
or figure out wbere you're go
ing or what your values are,"
explained the slender, song-and-dance
man.
"That's why I quit TV two
years ago.
O Connor made a "comeback"
on Sunday's NBC Dinah Shore
show his first TV appearance
since he ended his filmed series
two years ago, and his first live
TV show in three years. The va
cation he took from the home
screens gave him a breathing
spell to catch up with his life.
Got Married
His accomplishments: .He got
married: he wrote a symphonic
suite that will be performed
next month by a local doctors'
orchestra at a public concert; he
starred in three pictures and
turned 'dramatic actor in "The
Buster Keaton Story."
"I had to give up TV because
I reached the point where I was
putting more into the show than
I. was gefting out of it," he ex
plained. "People who are just singers,
or comics, or dancers, have it
hard enough. It's even tougher
when you have to combine all
three."
Plans Two Musicals
Now that he has a happy per
sonal life and has cut loose from
"playing straight man to a mule
in. the "Frances' series," O'Con
nor figures it's time to return to
television. He next plans to star
in two musical "spectaculars"
and will try his hand on a
straight dramatic show.
Next year the one-time boy
hoofer plans to film a screen
plsy a serious story to match
his new expression that he
wrote once he got out of the
squirrel cage of his regular film
ed television series. His sym
phonic suite would be used as
a background score, he added.
"Everybody should slow
down and look over his life now
and then," he said. "Sometimes
you don't realize that you're not
doing the things you want, or
retting what you expected out
of life, until you stop the regu
lar routine.
"I wouldn't have even talked
or thought about getting mar
ried if I'd still been doing that
re&ular TV show this year.
