The Governments S Loss

The Department of Justice can Ill afford to
lose the services Of Philip B. Perlman. His
record as Solicitor General has been an out
standing one. He has come through troubled
era of public service untainted by any hint of
dereliction or of scandal. More than that, he has
done his job with sense Of strict impartiality,
with tireless energy and with acute regard for
the public interest. Filling his shoes, now that
he has resigned, will not be an easy task for the
President or for Attorney General McGranery.
Few of the Governments pleaders before the
Supreme Court have won so much respect from
that tribunal or met with so much success in
persuading the high court to share their views
in important cases at issue. OF the So cases
which he argued before the court, he won
victories in all but six. His latest defeat was in
the much-publicized steel case, which resulted in
a divided court His flve years as Solicitor
General have established him in the front rank
of the countrys leading trial lawyers He has
earned not only the concentrations given him
by Mr.. Truman and Mr.. McGranery but the best
wishes Of the public as he voluntarily returns to
private life.

Municipal Court Middle

Failure of the Senate to act on several local
judgeship nominations leaves the Municipal
Court in muddle, the confusing effects OF which
will extend to the Municipal Court Of Appeals
The President must share the blame, for he gave
the Senate little time to consider the appoint
ments.
The Municipal Court vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Ellen K. Raedy had remained
untitled for more than year, while the work
of the court piled up. Yet 1t was not until the
Fourth of July, as Congress was rushing toward
a recess, that the nomination Of Mrs. Grace
Stewart as Judge Raedys successor went to the
Capitol There was manifesty no time to study
Mrs Stewards qualifications.
Mrs. Stewart may be given recess appoint
ment, but neither Judge Thomas D. Quinn of
the Municipal Court of Appeals nor Judge Frank
H. Myers is interested in recess appointment.
They still have long terms to serve under their
present appointments. This means that Judge
Quinn will remain on the Municipal Court OF
Appeals, instead Of succeeding George P. Barse
as chief Judge of the Municipal Court who wants
to retire And Judge Myers will remain on the
Municipal Court instead of filing Judge Quinn's
place on the appellate tribunal. The change in
the situation affecting both courts is unfair to
Chief Judge Barse, who, instead of relaxing as ne
had planned, will remain on the bench until his

tistical proof that the Taft steamroller
is dead weight rather than fighting
strength. Taft and McCormickism won
the Illinois Republican primary i'm
pressively. But in election pay-offs,
the Democrats send liberals like Paul
H. Douglas to the Senate. And in 194s
Illinois Democrats and independents gave

What he fails to mention is that the

voters in 1850. Moreover, Dirksen licked

DR.. Mattingly and all the other GOPers-

convention rules simply because their

The very fact that two such really
great public servants as Senator Paul
Douglas and Gov. Stevenson were
elected to high Office under the aegis Of
Boss Jake Arvey. bespeaks the wisdom Of
the professional politicians. These men
are Of the Taft ,caliber. One shudders

Governor Fines Leadership

In a few carefully chosen words, PennSyl-
vanias Governor Fine early this morning
explained why he is throwing his personal
support and that of his followers in the Keystone
State delegation to General Eisenhower.
AS it happens they were words that summed
up very clearly why the Republican convention
should choose General Eisenhower as its nominee,
and spelled out the most important difference in
qualifications between the two principal candi-
dates, General Eisenhower and Senator Taft
There is no alternative, Governor Fine said,
to the will of the people. The will of the Re-
publican people has been expressed in cross
section in numerous party primaries General
Eisenhower made remarkable showing in these
primaries particularly in the light of his absence
from the country. He made one of his best
showingS in Governor Fines own State Of Penn
sylvania where he blanketed write-in effort
by Senator Taft by margin of approximately
six-to-one. The primary record of the Ohio
Senator was far from being as impressive, despite
some victories in the relatively isolationist
Midwest
The Pennsylvania Governor went on to say
that the transcending issue of today is the search
for durable peace, and that "the broad and
deep knowledge Eisenhower has in the area OF
most concern will more rapidly dissolve the
anxieties of tormented world"
There are few, If any, who would dispute the
Governors definition OF the tranScend1ng ISSUE
And the record reflects General Eisenhowers
broad and deep knowledge in the field OF world
affairs and his positive approach toward their
solution. It reflects likewise the reservations and
the inconsistencies which have marked Senator
Taft's dealings with the subject.
Governor Fines decision was made after long
deberation and discussion with both OF the
principals. He announced it diSpassionately and
with tribute to Senator Taft and the Ohioans
record of distinction Most of all, he was talking
good sense, not only from practical political
standpoint but from the standpoint of national
interest. His position of favorng General Eisen-
hover and his reasons for it provide an added
element of leadership to the convention.

Mon With q Plan


Victory for the Republican Party and
q change of administration would seem
to be of far more importance than the
victory Of any individual. It so happens
that two strong men are in such close
conflict that party harmony is endan-
gered, and a dark-horSe compromise is
not impossible. This is not what the
American people want nor what the
times and circumstances require.
Weighing the situation carefully, be-
lieve that the following might provide
formula for victory"
Eisenhower and Taft-the strongest
possible ticket to ensure a Republican
victory in November.
The plan: Eisenhower for two years
then resigning to Taft.
The argument: The next two years are
crucial. We need Eisenhowers military
and global experience. We also need the
balance Taft can give, especially in mat
ters Of internal administration and legis-
lation. The presidency is no longer
one-man job! These two men compile
ment each other in many ways.
Two years should be enough for Eisen-
hover to make reforms, effect economies,
and establish sound policies. He appar-
entity doesn't want to be President but
sincerely believes it has become neces-
sary for him to serve. Two years for
Taft. Let him there in prove himself
fortified by broadening experience in
Eisenhower's ha1f-term-worthy of
second full term for Taft and, perhaps,
StaSSen.
The registered Republicans are sub
StantialIv less than their onnonentS and
must induce the majority Of independent
voters to rally to their candidates. The
plural is important-it is not just man
but rather. a competent team that is
needed. AS teammates to Eisenhower
and Taft, suggest State, Dulles; De-
fense. Macarthur or Stassen; Attorney
General, Dewey; Interior, Warren: etc.
etc. Why not the best to meet the test?
1t is important to add that the fore
going plan is in no sense deal" It is,
rather. a frank. and honest plan based
upon an irrevocable gentlemen's agree
ment; and predicated upon unanimous
conviction that a change of administra-
ton is the paramount objective, and that
the best possible team" is the means
to that end.< We seek, above all, the well
fare and security of the United States
Finally. it should be observed that.
as ex-President. Eisenhower's prestige
would be enhanced to fit him further for
future top executive service in world
affairs and to all mankind.

Defends Lawrence as Seer

On June % you printed letter from
Paul D. Boone. in which he said that
just before the 1886 election, David Law
renee predicted the election of Landon.
I suggest that Mr.. Boone go back and
read that prediction as printed in The
Star of october 81. 1886. It did not pre-
dict the election of Landon. According
to my clippings in only one out of the
four campaigns in which F. D. R. en-
gagged did Mr.. Lawrence fail to predict
that Mr.. Roosevelt would be elected, or
reelected. In 1910 he forecast Willkie
victory-which. incidentally. was the
first time he had failed to predict ac-
curately the outcome of presidential
campaign. starting in 1915.

His brand Of "oratory" was outmoded

The Taft Star Sets

Barring miracle, it's all over but the
shouting in Chicago.
With the seating of the pro-Eisenhower
delegations from Georgia, Louisiana and Texas.
Senator Taft's star has set He was still saving
today that he expects to win on an early ballot
But even the rugged Ohioan, never a man to
throw in the sponge, must have known that he
was talking through his hat.
The only question left is when the nomina-
ton OF General Eisenhower will come Taft
delegates will now start stampeding to him, and
If enough of them can get on the bandwagon
In time f1rst-ballot nomination is conceivable
But General Eisenhower, in his own right still
was short of a convention majority this morning
His nomination may have to await the release
OF the Warren and StaSSen delegates. But there
can be no doubt as to the eventual outcome.
General Eisenhower will be nominated, and that
is truly a victory for the rank -and-file of the
Republican Party.
Looking back, there seem to be two possible
explanations of the misguided strategy of the
Taft forces. 1t was a strategy that handed
General Eisenhower a potent moral issue, and
he used that issue to force a first-day showdown
which clearly revealed the weakness of the Taft
position. This strategy may have been the
product of sheer political stupidity. But that is
not likely. Neither Senator Taft nor the top
men around him are political dmwits. The
more probable explanation is that Senator Taft,
despite his eXtravagant and apparently conf
dent claims, never had the votes that he needed.
He had to have those contested delegates from
the Southern States in order to maintain that
appearance of strength which attracts the
wavererS in other delegations. Knowing this,
Senator Taft decided to shoot the works. It had
to be all or nothing and he took the desperate
gamble. Unfortunately for him, it didn't pay off.
