aide, Harry Butcher, now a
radio executive, recently said
that he felt the general would
run for the Presidency only as
a coalition candidate in time of
crisis. Speculative Democrats
believe that this reflects think
ing in Eisenhower circles about
a Observation-Disclosures coali-
ton.
They would expect Gov.
James Byrnes of South Caro-
lima to show some readiness to
lead such a Dixiecrat exodus
into the Eisenhower camp.
1t would of course make the
general an internationalist but
predominantly conservative can
didate so far as his support
went. Nobody knows whether
he himself would be willing to
make such a sacrifice of the
liberal views he has often in
dicated.
Some Democrats would still
be glad to kidnap Gen. Eisen-
hover, couple one of their cru
sading Senators with him and
offer the country a wholly new
look in behalf of their party.
Others think it will be neces-'
sary. If the general seems out
IN front as a Republican can
didate, for Democrats to find a
public figure outside the Gov
eminent - perhaps one whose
name has not yet been men
toned.

Ammunition for 50 Convention
art Opponents in Congress Encouraged by Stand
OF Dewey and Duff on Troops for-Europe Issue -

1t has been a little difficult at
times to tell whether the cur
rent foreign policy argument is
over troops for Europe or troops
for the Republican national con-
vention in 1852.
Deliberately and purposefully,
Gov. Thomas e. Dewey, Harold
Stassen. Senators Lodge. Duff
and others drew the issue of
tsolationism against Senators
Taft. Wherry and company.
Their obvious aim was to raise
a standard to which Republic
can internationahsts, inside and
outside Washington, can repair
before the party is wholly pre-
empted by its Congressional
leaders.
This became a political i'm
perative for anti-Taft forces
when Mr.. Taft moved so de-
cisively into the foreign policy
field. He was already out
distancing them fast. His Ohio
victory was sensational and few
dispute him in domestic af-
fairs. His friends control the
National Committee which gives
him tactical and publicity ad-
vantage. The Republican or
gan in the Capital. the WASH
ington Times-Herald, is for him,
and usually against all who OPP
pose him for any reason.
The comparatively small
group in Congress who buck the
Taft leadership will be encour-
aged by the open display of

ably provokes dissension and
distruSt.
But who is this Charles E.
Wilson on whom the labor
leaders have suddenly centered
their attack? He was liberal
enough to be chosen vice chair
man of the War Production
Board during World War II by
President Roosevelt. He was
liberal enough to be chosen by
President Truman to head up
the National Commission on
Civil Rights which minced no
words in dealing with the dis
elimination in America against
minority groups. He was liberal
enough to be one of the closest
friends and advisers that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had and his
friendship with Mr.. Truman is
just as intimate.
Mr.. Wilson is nobody's tool
neither of business nor of any
other group. Here Is q man of
managerial ability who knows
the fundamentals of large-scale
production and who at the same
time is fair and impartial and
liberal. But those labor-union
leaders who are just as reaction
airy and Indifferent to the pub
lie interest today as many big
business men were quarter of
century ago don't want any
body who is fair.
They want a partisan and
they would drag the defense
program into politics and slow
down the production effort ratll-
er than admit that in an emer-
gency the President of the Unit
ed States is entitled to select
for such an important task as
defense mobilization director the
best man he can find. Mr.. Tru-
man has selected some one who
isn't politician or demagogue
but a man of experience in
World War II who is willing
to give to his country the re-
naming years of life through
disinterested public service. Now
labor politicians want to drive
him out. This is the kind of
battle that special privilege
groups cannot be permitted to
win.

All are experienced hands at

conventions. Three will have

All were quick to seize the
opening offered by Senator Taft
to go on record publicly against
him on this issue.
There is Gov. Thomas E.

Real Issue Behind Wilson DISPUTE
Labor Leaders Moneuver for Position to Influence
MonPoWer Policy and Interpret Droft Regulations
David Lowrence:

Deep under the surface the
real issue in the row between
the major labor leaders and
Charles E. Wilson, director of
defense mobilization, is how
the manpower of America shall
be allocated-who shall go to
war and who shall stay behind.
No more delicate question can
arise when Nation demands
equality of sacrifice. 1t is i'm
portant that the true story be
unfolded because. uncorrected
and allowed to appear as simply
a quarrel over wages or over
posts where the labor leaders
can be consulted" it looks just
like the same old nasty debate
between big business and big
labor.
The controversy is in truth
over something else. 1t involves
the whole manpower problem
on which the American people
will want to be fully informed.
And Of two things the public
can be assured-Mr. Wilson isn't
going to be inundated or
forced out by the insults and
innuendoes of thoughtless labor
leaders, and Mr.. Truman isn't
going to be moved by threats of
political blackmail such as are
being made.
Just the other day James B.
Carey, secretary-treasurer of the
CLIO. told a union meeting that
organized labor may move out
of the Democratic Party as a
consequence of the present mo-
bilization row. This is a strange
way to exert pressure in an in
ternational crisis.
Mr.. Carey happens to be
president Of the CLIO Interna-
tional Union of Electrical Work
ers and when Mr.. Wilson was
president of General Electric
the two men tangled on labor
problems. Mr.. Carey carries on
his feud at the expense of the
country. Other labor leaders go
along with him because they see
a chance to undermine Mr.. Will
son and get labor partisans to
rule the draft so that, in effect,
local union politicians will in
terpret the draft rules and in
f1uence deferments.

shoes. He represents powerful,
anti-internationalist elements in
the party, particularly in the
Middle West. These had been
chatting under the Vandenberg
leadership and welcomed the
change. They presumably pro-
NOTED it, in fact. as they are
promoting the Ohio Senator's
nomination in 1852.
The result is that the struggle
for control of the party is under
way. out In the open and public
ly, far in advance of the con-
vention. Everything that hap
pens from now on may be re-
garded as maneuvers in this
battle which will be well worth
watching.

a resident general in the person
OF Gen. Alphonses JUN.
In the last two years a ma
tionalist party, known as the
Istiqlal. has become active in an
effort to make the empire truly

aged to keep things on an even
keel by playing both ends
against the middle. Recently.
however, the Istiqlal has be-
come more powerful and dis.
orders have occurred.
For the present the rebellion
is limited. But there is a real
danger that more will occur
with greater strength. All
French governments-even the
far left Socialists, when they
are in power-are extremely
conservative when it comes to
Frances overseas possessions.
France is proud of her history
and is even less willing than
Britain to give up her colonial
holdings. The French people
fear now that situation SINH

a case it will be necessary to
adopt the same strong meas

The paramount question in
the minds Of the French now
Is where the country will get

and Africa and at the same time
fulfill their commitment to

Every family that had q car
loaded into it and went for a

People who didn't have a car
were not neglected. One of the
duties of car ownership in those
days was to stop by and take
members of carless families for
a "spin," whether they wanted
to go or not.
I have since suspected that
this taking Of less fortunate

much on consideration as on a
