BY the Associoied Press

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-The
$l7,500 Los Angeles Open golf
show reached the midway mark
late today with Jack Burke, jr..
of Texas and John Barnum of
Michigan sitting on top of a field
OF rivals hard hit by illness, in
jury, holdouts and Old Man Par.
They were tied with a 36-hole
total of l44 and for the first time
in many years in this rich event
not a soul in the tournament had
been able to finish this distance
with a Sub-par performance.
The contestants. some old and
weary from many years on the

the high scores, ranging from the
slow devil grass of the fairwayS to
exceptionally fast green's and the

first round. At 144, both were
two strokes over par for the SO

For Many in Party Who DepIored Toft's Defeat

A tagging campaign has been
galvanized by the Nixon affair.
Republican national head
quarters is rejoicing not only
over the heavily pro Nixon
trend of messages received but
over their vast number. The in
cident will serve. they think, to
end the apathy, even hostility,
OF the many party workers who
deplored Senator Taft's defeat
at Chicago. From that point of
view, it is certainly a gain.
The principal chore now fac
ing Gen. Eisenhower and the
G. o. P. campaign experts is to
re-chart their course.
The Senator pulled his popu-
lar support with an emotional,
dramatic, highly personal show
that his admirers will describe
as human interest and his de-
tractors as soap opera. This has
always been his style of cam
paigning.
Since it has won for him at
his zero hour. he can be ex-
pected to continue with it, even
more so. and Gen. Eisenhower
will be under pressure to initiate
him. The result easily could be
the kind OF campaign the Old
Guard always has wanted, but
the national convention decided
would not attract the independ-
ent vote, so could not succeed.

appear disposed to quibble over
the fact that no audit of the

Democrats today are suggest

From now on in the CAM

urged to go into Wisconsin to

any internal dangers.

the internal danger to the coun-
try Of q centralized and top

No leader will suggest that the

What an amazing flip-fiop
campaign we are witnessing.
Sentiment, which rather than
reason is likely to decide the
presidential contest, flips to
Gov. Stevenson one day and
fiops to Gen. Eisenhower the
next.
Following the appearance Of
the Republican vice presidential
candidate before the television
camera and the radio mike to
explain away the $4,000 pri-
vate fund set up by some busi-
ness friends for his use after
his election to the United States
Senate, there has been one of
those flops-at least on the part
of a lot Of people. Previously
there had been flip or a flop
on the part Of many Of his sup
porterS just because of that
fund. Important newspapers,
already committed to the Re-
publican ticket, demanded that
his name be removed and an
other man started in the race
for Weep, lest Eisenhower's
chances be ruined. Some even
said they were switching to the
Democratic ticket.
But the young man In ques-
tion stood before the American
people and answered his accus-
ers. He did better than that
he answered accusations that
never had been made. He proved
he never had put any of that
money in his own pocket, some
thing nobody had suggested. He
barred the whole story of his per-
sonal finances, an appealing.

regret they had so misjudgeds

And you didn't have to take
his word for any Of it. He sub

account by a acknowledgement

Through their tears the tele-
vision viewers could not read the

item, for example: Capital En-
craving Co., for Christmas
cards, 10000 for 1850 and $4,000
for 1851 (. $4.237.54."

was in effect. that he was being

remains to be seen. For the

persuaded them they were being

honest? This is the only ques-
ton that needs to be asked.
Everything else-Such as his
manner Of presentation, and
whether he should or shouldn't
have mentioned the fact that
Senator Sparkman's wife is on
the Government pay roll in her
husbands Office, or whether he
should or shouldn't have ex-
planned in greater detail about
his political expenses-becomes
secondary to the main point:
Did he acquit himself of sus-
picion of wrongdoing with the
vast majority OF his audience?
The answer is to be found in
the avalanche of kilograms and
in the unanimity of Republi-
can leaders. Gen. Eisenhower
was quick to sense the trend.
1t would appear that the idea
of a televiSion talk was Senator
Nixon'S own. While the gen.
eral was at st. Louis last Sun
day pondering what to do. the
Nixon group in Portland, Oreg..
thought the television presen-
tation was logical. The gen.
eral was advised Of the plan.
He felt it was only right and
proper to give his running mate
a chance to explain to the peo-
pie. But it is a safe bet that
nobody thought it would result
as it did-in a sensational turn
to Senator Nixon which amounts
to a vote Of confidence in the
middle of a campaign.
The Democrats aren't con-
vinced. and never will be. The
charge that Gov. Stevenson had

as something different" The

officials didn't know who their

fund, knew. And II Mr.. Ste

secret, he took money person.
ally to the tune Of SIS, 900 and
that nobody knew what he did
with it. They would be saying
that. Of course, the Governor
knew where he got the money,
and that undoubtedly the con-
tributors received favors in ex-
change or expected them. For
it is true that in Illinois there
are citizens who expect favors
out of campaign contributions
and indeed the recipients in
Evening star., 1952-09-25

The independent vote Is, of
course, the unknown quantity
in the present furore which is so
strongly reminiscent of the mood
of Gen. MacArthur's involuntary
return home. Democrats are re-
calling that while the public ap-
parently chose the general as
their hero at the moment. they
shortly thereafter showed no in
terest in making him President.
In his command decisions,
Gen. Eisenhower would do well
to be prudent for that and other
reasons.
The American people, after all,
have not passed on the propri-
ETY. or improperly of Senator
Nixon's secret dowry of expense
money from private persons
which was unreported to the tax
authorities.
For that matter, they have
not passed either on Gov.
Stevenson's decision to take
campaign funds plus later con-
tributions and distribute them
among his State appointees as
a method of attracting better
public officials. The Governors
fund was never a secret and
elected officials did not get the
money; nonetheless it was a de-
vice outside of regular channels
to gain an objective that should
have been pursued in the Legis-
lature.
