view of those who had thought he
would not run, but it has not changed
those who have felt he must run. AS
to General Eisenhower, three things
are emphasized by the Krock report:
O) That he does not want the Demo-
cratic nomination; (2) that he is a
Republicans; (3) that if next summer
the military situation in Western
Europe is such that he can, without
risk to the national interests, turn
his job over there to someone else
and the Republican convention nomi-
mates him, he will accept.
But, among those who know the
General best, these things are not
news. These they have known for a
long time. They have been attested
by his public utterances; by his
Kansas background and by what he
has privately said to many friends.
He is exactly the same man as be-
fore the Truman offer-and will re-
main the same. His popularity has
neither diminished nor increased. The
same number of citizens-and they
seem to be large majority-want to
see him President. For htese reasons
supporting Republican leaders are
pushing their plans with increased
confidence, as evinced by the an
nouncement of Senator Duff on We'd
nesday
Certainly. the General has done
nothing to discourage those he knows
are working for him with great
vigor and enthusiasm. True, they did
not like that first Washington re-
mark that he had no political aspir-
ations. To them that was not only I'M
necessary but unconvincing However,
what he said later satisfied them He
knows exactly what they are doing
At no time has he said anything COM
parable to the Marshall utterance: 81
am not now available as a candidate
for any elective office nor will |
ever be-" SO long as he does not say
that, they know he is not only avail
able-but wants the nomination. The
only risk they take is that the mill
tary situation next year may pre-
clude his running. 1t may be that his
sense of duty will compel him then to
eliminate himself. But his friends do
not think SO. They take that risk with
wide open eyes and full knowledge.
Senator Duff, who appears to be man
aging the Eisenhower candidacy. is
.nobody's fool in politics or anything
else. The same thing can be said of
Senator Lodge, who has now agreed
to head the drive for Eisenhower
delegates.

Ewes Open To The Risk

The shock of the Truman offer to
support General Eisenhower for the
Democratic nomination in 1852 and
Of the Generals implied rejection be-
cause of his distaste for the New
Deal-Fair Deal domestic policies, as
related by Mr.. Arthur Krock, has
now been measurably absorbed.
Reverberations are still felt but
enough time has elapsed to permit an
estimate Of results. One interesting
fact is that, despite the Truman
denial and the secondhand one of the
General, scarcely anyone in politics
doubts there is sound basis of truth
for the Krock report. Partly this is
due to Mr. Krock's high reputation
as an able, honest and restrained re-
porter; and partly to the well recog-
nized habit of politicians to deny
facts embaIrassingly made public.
The vehement denials of the Hopkins
tax, tax, spend, spend, elect, elect"
statement are a shining example.
The late Mr. Roosevelt practiced
such denials frequently and shame
lessly. In this case, conceding the
truth of the report, General Eisen-
hover, who is not politician, had no
alternative. After the Truman denial
he hardly could contradict his COM

mander in Chief. While strongly in
sisting that the offer was made and
was rejected, Mr.. Krock says that it
may have been made by an inter
mediary" and not face to face. This
is reasonable and also would lend
some justification for the denials. The
intermediary idea seems now gener-
ally accepted and of course, there is
vast speculation as to his identity.
Numerous guesses have been made,
some quite wild; others highly plaus-
IDLE. One in the latter class concerns
an eminent member of the judicial
branch Of the Government personally
close to the President and quite we'll
known to the General.
As to the results-still accepting
the offer as having been made-there
are several views. One group holds
that it eliminates Ike" as the Re-
publican nominee, the argument
being that anyone acceptable to Mr..
Truman would not be available as a
Republican candidate Another argu-
ment is that his opposition to the
Truman domestic policies makes him
unacceptable to the professional
liberals" of the Americans for
Democratic Action type and the CIO
bosses. A second group contends the
offer makes it clearer than before
that Mr. Truman will not run; that
his idea now is to nominate a man
who can win. A third group insists
the effect will be to help Senator
Taft, as doubt is cast on General
Eisenhower's Republicanism and his
Republican supporters are confused.
Obvious reasons for dissent from
these theories exist. 1t is easy to
shoot them all full of holes and there
seems more sense in the contention
that this unprecedented incident has
not really changed anything. As to.

South can collect the necessary

Two different "key plays" are in

the startling curiosity that, with

create another loser for himself in
order to end up with only three

The winning play goes like this:

draws three rounds of trumps,
cashes the heart and diamond aces

then throws West in with a club.

tion. On Vests next lead South

Ghost Town
BY Frank Sartwel, Jr.
Photos by the Author

TINE population of ocean City, Mary
Il lands largest resort, comes and goes
like the tides of the ocean itself.
In the winter ebb 1900 persons rattle
around in ghost town" that holds up to
10000 during the summer.
Some activity goes on-mackerel fishing
from the harbor just across SinepuxenJ
Bay, and preparation for the summers busi-
ness but many houses are boarded up and
hotels and concessions are closed.
Some few persons, both from Baltimore
and Washington, go to Ocean City in the
off season to get away from crowds or, like
the District Audubon Society," to see the
Arctic water birds driven south by winter.
Ocean City was not always thriving re-
sort. Daniel Trimper, a resident for 81
years, and Mayor for six, likes to tell of its
growth. When he came at the age of
there were no street lights and only one
hotel. Now hotels line a greater part Of
the 2-mile boardwalk, and in addition to
street lights, the visitor finds well-paved
roads and even modern parking meters.
Ten blocks have been incorporated into the
town during Mayor. Trimpers term.
It all goes to waste during the cold
months-there just is no one to use it.
Some of the residents are hoping to rem
edy this, however. As the operator of one
of the many tourist homes says, There is
no reason why doctors shouldn't recon-
mend Ocean City as health resort. It's
quiet and the climate is as good as any all
year resort town"
But until something like that happens,
Ocean City will go on alternating in cold
weather, waiting for summer to bring back
warmth and the reason for the whole
thing, tourists
