National War College at Fort Les

The question of Gen. Eisen-
hower's possible new military as

Truman to Speak in st. Louis.
This question took the spotlight
momentarily off the approaching
congressional elections and yes
terday's White House announce
ment that President Truman will
make one last-minute political
speech to sum up the issues of
the current campaign.
The President will address a
Democratic rally in st. Louis next
Saturday night on his way home
to vote. but he will be appealing
to voters across the country on
Nationwide radio chains.
Meanwhile. Harold Stassen re-
opened the Republican attack on
administration foreign policy in
Asia by suggesting the State De-
partment encourage the British to
recognize Red China and held out
promise the United States might
do likewise.
The former Minnesota Governor.
now president of the University of
Pennsylvania, sent a telegram to
the White House, asking the Pres
ident If this was not a fact. He
gave a copy to the Republican Ma
tional Committee, which made it
public.
Here for Talks With Truman.
Although Gen. Eisenhower has
SHE'D away from any open interest
in becoming presidential condi-
date, his name keeps bobbing up
in that connection as possible Re-
publican standard bearer two
years from now.
The first reaction of political
observers here was that the effect
of such a development on Gen.
Eisenhower'S political future would
depend largely on how long his
new military assignment lasted.
If, as some believe, the general
would be asked only to take the
Job for a year or so, while the
Western defenses are being forged
together. he could be very much
in the political picture again in
1852 without raising a finger in his
own behalf.
Would Strengthen Prestige.
Such an assignment would keep
him in the public eye. performing
a task vital to the peace of the
world. 1t would serve to strength
en- the prestige he acquired as
commander of the European forces
in bringing victory in World
War II.
OF course, much would depend
on how world events shape up in
the next two years. If in 1852
there is great tension between the
East and West and Gen. Eisen-
hover was still mapping the de-
fense strategy of the West, it is
not likely he would return to civil
ian life or figure in the political
speculation.
The outcome of the November 7
congressional elections also could
affect the prospects for or against
an Eisenhower presidential boom
in 1852, regardless of whether he
becomes North Atlantic defense
commander.
For example, If Senator Taft is
reelected in Ohio and California
gives its popular Republican Gov
ernor, Earl Warren, another term,
