talked with staff members in line
with his duty as president Of the

Straw Voters Reject
Military for Presidency;
Generals UndemOcratic'
By CARL T. ROWAN

"The public just won't hop, skip
and jump like a soldier has to do"
Fred Perkins of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, a brakeman for the Rock
Island railroad, thought Macarthur
had lost too much Of the civilian
viewpoint. He thought Eisenhower
showed good sense in realizing this.
"If we intend to build a world
on peaceful lines" said Clyde Will
liams of Minneapolis, 1--WE just can't
have a general as president"
Orville Drake, also of Mime
apolis, concurred. He opined:
"A general would be like punch
drunk fighter he'd always have
a chip on his shoulder -. just ring
a bell and he'd be ready to fight"
Those who thought a military
man would make a swell president
based their argument on a belief
that war is now possible.
~ do think we need a military
man as president" said Willard
Jones. 1--WE need one to prepare
the country for war"
He thought there was no immedi-
ate prospect of war, "but it looks
like a showdown"

Munich" he declared.
There were other arguments that

ton of admiralsw
That's the way it was put
by some 10 men, as this writer
listened in on a round-the-pool-
table discussion of General Mac
Arthur's announcement that he,
too, is a presidential candidate.
When the discussion ended, the
vote was II to two that a military
man would never do.
Three principal arguments were
presented against a military man
as president:
. His contact with military gov
eminent, which is not very demo-
cratic, renders him unfit as the
governor Of a democratic country.
Q His extended absence from civil
ian life leaves him unaware of
many problems which are primarily
of a civilian nature.
. Choosing a military man would
be a departure from our stated in
tensions of setting up international
relations along peaceful lines.
Kenneth Wallace, Minneapolis,
voiced the opinion that generals
aren't too well versed in demOc-
racy. He saw them as people &C
customed to speaking the law"
