by the Senate Investigating
Committee, MIR. Truman's atti-
tude at his press conference
gives an impression Of casual
ness which is either the product
Of the Pendergast school Of poll
tics or the manifestation Of q
curious naivete.
Mr.. Truman cannot seriously
believe that the American peo-
pie viii accept his indifference
to methical conduct on the part
Of members of his political fam
lily and that prosperity" viii
erase all opposition to his ad-
ministration at the polls next
time.
For the history Of politics
shows that morality is a deeper
cause of concern and can wipe
out the prosperity" advantage
of any incumbent party. To
say, for example, that a mayor
or governor or Democratic men,
ber Of Congress can be a crook
and yet If the people are pros
porous he will be reelected is
to reflect on the intelligence of
the men and women who today
compose the American electo-
rate.
Mr.. Truman's attitude toward
the wrongdoing that surrounds
his administration is one of
bold indifference. He calls it
all a smear or q nisrepresenta-
ton. But the facts that are
coming out Of the congressional
committees will be weighed by
the voters. The big issue of
1852 may be reminiscent Of the
slogans Of yesteryear when the
people were asked to turn the
rascals outl"-and usually did.

will remain. There may be some
changes in the confiscatory in
come tax legislation. But these
changes, the Laborites believe,
would apply principally to low
and middle incomes rather than
to the high brackets. There
may be even greater stiffening
Of British foreign policy toward
the U. s. S. r. and her satellites,
especially Communist China.
Mr.. Churchill, If he is returned
to Office, might end the present
recognition Of the Peiping re-
gime-a move which would
have little effect in Britain's
domestic policies but would be
hailed In the United States.
The potential return Of the
Conservatives to power is said
to be regarded by the Labor
Party strategists as changing
but little the socia1istic line
adopted by them. On the other
hand 1t would bring Britain des-
perately needed American eco
nomic assistance which Mr. Att
lee is confident his government
can no longer expect.
This winter will be a hard
one for the British people, who
six years after the end of the
last war are worse of than the
Germans.
Britain cannot look for an
improvement of domestic con-
ditions by some barter trade
with Russia as some members Of
the present cabinet have been
advocating. The Muscovites have
nothing much to offer, and
furthermore the British public
would not approve a government
economic policy which would
raise a wave of indignation in
the United States. Britain can
not stand on her own feet. She
still needs q vast amount of
outside assistance. And since the
Labor government cannot hope
for more than perfunctory help,
from the American Congress, itsl
leaders have decided that an.
administration headed by VIM
ston Churchill would have a,
much better chance to tide the
country over the national crisis.
Another speculation about the
reasons why Mr.. Attlee is ready
to have a new election and ac,-
cept a probable defeat is that he

Thonos [. Stokes:

It suddenly seems to be taken
for granted that Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower is receptive to q
presidential nomination, and
equally accepted that he is a
Republican. AS to the last, there
never really seemed to be much
doubt.
The general has said nothing
publicly. but the outburst of
activity by his professional po-
litical heutenants in the last few
days would indicate that they
have had, somehow or other,
what is known in politics as "the
word" or are acting on a re-
liable hunch.
Or else, taking an anxious look
at the calendar, they realized
sort of ! simultaneously that
they'd better take things into
their own hands. get up steam,
and create a situation from
which the general could not
withdraw very well without let
ting down his friends and,
as they would put it piously,
his country. They could
gamble, too. on human ma
ture-in this case that it's
very hard for a man to turn
down a chance for the presi-
dency-and the Eisenhower pro-
moters can honestly sell this
as a much better than normal
chance. After all, Gen. Sher-
mans are rare in this world. The
reference is not to the tanks,
but to the Civil War hero who,
when offered a presidential
nomination by a convention, it
self, said bluntly that he would
MT accept if nominated and
wouldn't serve If elected. And
meant it.
Gamble or not, time is a.
wasting, and it takes time to
arrange a draft" They could
wait q bit longer, perhaps. The
closest analogy to the popular
uprising and draft = being ar
ranged for Gen. Eisenhower was
that for the late Wendell Will
kie in 1910, a businessman and,
like General Ike, an outsider.
That got under way about six
months before the convention.
Unlike Mr.. Willkie, the general
needs no build-up. But he does
need delegates.
Gov. Dewey, who has political
savvy and a knack for the time
" maneuver, set off the Eisen-
hover blitzkrieg when he came
to town recently, by scurrying
about among known Eisen-
hover rooters at the Capitol in

A. Taft. His neutenants are
busy now, and have been for
some time, rounding up con-
vention support for the Senator.
They are In earnest. and 50 is
their candidate. This is probably
his last stab at the nomination
he twice was denied, and, to
him at least, it looks almost in
his grasp. The Senator and his
corps of hard-boiled profess
sionals are not in q mellow or
charitable mood.
The Eisenhower boosters count
on a public uprising to upset
the professionals and influence
the convention, with a lot of
managing. Of course, by their
own professionals. It can be
done. as the Willkie episode
demonstrated. And no political
managers ever had a better SUBJ
ject for convention revolution.
There is one possible obstacle
OF a psychological nature which
might become important. It is
an asset just now, that is, the
fact that the general is a heroic
military figure and it is to such
that a frustrated people are in
clined to look in the search for
a deliverer from their troubles.
On second sober thought-for
which there is time-there
might be a resurgence Of a ira
ditional instinct among our
people for strictly civilian gov
ernment that would reflect itself,
naturally, in opposition to a
military man at the top, in the
White House.
It is a good, sound instinct.

that curtain raising, there ar
rived in the city ex-senator
Harry Darby of Kansas, Ike's

as the generals United States

that the general is in the humor.
But the real tip-off as to
what's up came in Mr.. Dar-
by's line Of talk. This is not q

who proclaimed following a visit
here that Gen. Eisenhower was

laughter is as infectious as ever.
Mrs. Eisenhower Is here with
him, guarding his leisure from
intrusion as much as possible.
Reluctantly it is admitted,
however, that in his point 1
Senator Brewster had something.
What to do about 1t is a ques-
tion often raised at supreme
headquarters-by Gen. Eisen-
hover. among others.
1t is recognized, even more In
Europe than at home, that Gen.
Eisenhower and the North At
lantic Treaty Organization have
tended to become synonyms;
that people are rallying around
a man rather than the idea.
This hunger for leadership is
apparent in the United States,
which is prosperous. It is much
keener in Europe, where the
weak center governments rise
and fall with monotonous regu-
larity, for the most part under
the guidance Of elder statesmen
who have long since ceased to
excite the imagination or stir
the blood.
In this situation, the World

comes increasingly the father
image. The problem grows with
NATO's accelerating effect on

Constantine Brown:
Hard Winter Ahead for Britons
AttIees Surprise Call for October Election Seen Aimed
To Gain New IT, S. Assistance in Economic Crisis

believes the British conserva-
tives cannot maintain them
selves in Office very long. Their
popularity at home and abroad
is centered around the PERSONAL
ity OF Mr.. Churchill, who will be
IT years old in November. His
lieutenants are colorless-far
more so than the Laborite
leaders. The time may come
sooner than most people ex-
pect when a coalition govern
ment win be formed. And It
would then be only short step
for the British Socialists to come
back to power.
The present domestic and in
ternational crisis demands that
the British government be
headed by a personality who
has the confidence of the United
States. Churchill is the only
man who can satisfy that con-
dition. And this is the reason
or the best available speculation
why Mr.. Attlee decided to
have a new election at a time
when politically 1t was not
necessary.
Evening star., 1951-09-21
Constantine Brown:

A letter in this mornings mail
from one Of the most astute
British political observers FORE
casting an early election brings
particularly timely comment on
the surprise" move of Prime
Minister Attlee in calling the
voters to the polls in October.
Considering the present par
liamentary situation, Mr.. Attlee,
the British correspondent says,
could carry on for some time
at least until a major domestic
or international crisis developed
again. But he has. decided to
turn in his badge because he
realizes that the United States
Congress and public are increas-
ingly hostile to the Labor ad-
miniStration'S Socialistic policies.
Great Britain is once more in
serious economic trouble and
desperately needs American help.
While the masses are apathetic
and would not press for q
change in government-even If
living conditions grow worse, as
is now anticipated-the Attlee
cabinet would be glad to let the
Conservatives try their hand.
Mr.. Attlee and his colleagues
are fully aware of the prestige
and confidence Mr.. Churchill in
spires In America.
The recent conversations be-
tween ranking British cabinet
officers and their opposite num-
bers in Washington have shown
clearly that Britain under Labor
government leadership cannot
expect additional economic as
sistance from the American Con-
gress. A Conservative cabinet,
headed by the dynamic Winston
Churchill. would inspire once
more the confidence Of the
public and the chances
are that Britain would receive
more help from this country
than Is now provided.
AS things stand in Britain at
present, says, the writer of the
letter, a Tory cabinet cannot
undo any of the socialistic legis-
lation already In the statute
book. The industries which al
ready have been nationalized

David Lawrence:

President Truman needs a
new code of ethics If on further
reflection what he said at his
press conference yesterday isn't
soon reversed.
The President declared, for
instance, it was all right for the
officials and workers in the
Democratic National Committee
to introduce people to such
lending agencies as the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. just so
long as they didn't get any fees
or payment for establishing
such contacts.
But doesn't Mr.. Truman real
lie that an introduction from
the Democratic National Com
mittee member or its personnel
carries with it far more influence
than an introduction to a priv
ate bank which has an alto
gether different attitude toward
its depositors' money than RFC
officials seem to have had?
For one thing, it is the rule
under the Truman administra-
ton that most all important ap-
pointments have to be cleared"
through the Office of the Demo-
cratic national chairman. So
long as appointments to office
are made on such a political
basis, every appointee is bound
to respect the wishes or at least
consider with greater weight the
1ntroductionS or contacts
brought about through Demo-
cratic National Committee help.
It has been disclosed that Will
liam M. Boyle received fees as a
lawyer just before he became
Democratic national chairman
and that his law partner contin-
ued to receive fees after a loan
