Worried as Depression Grows
Western Allies Eoted Over Nomination Of Gen. Eisenhower
But They Are Not Yet Closing Ranks Against Reds

the first skirmishes with his
parliamentarians over ratiflca-
tion of the two treaties with the
Allies his worries are nowhere
near over. The attitude Of
France toward the Western
German republic and the inn
pact of Bevan'S neutralist doc
trines will determine the final
outcome Of whether Germany
will agree to become a partner
in the Western coalition.
1t is, Of course, too early to
gauge the impact of EiSenhow-
er's nomination on the peoples
across the Atlantic. But there
seems little likelihood that it
will affect to any degree the
position of Mr.. Bevan and his
followers on the continent.
Gen. Eisenhower has declared
for peace with honor and is GER
tain to reject any appeasement
of the u. S. S. r.
The neutralists want not only
peace with the East but also
any kind of appeasement which
might be translated into a con-
tinuous flow Of trade with the
Muscovites and their satellites.
And herein lies the great ideo-
logical conflict between US and
our Allies.

much as popgun being levelled
at them. Perhaps this was be-
cause all hands were so deeply
absorbed in the Presidential race
and the delegate contests. A
part of it was surely due to the
relative obscurity of the first
term Senator, whose bid to
speak at the convention the
Taft-controlled national COM
mittee rejected.
In the sense that it was art
fully planned to the point of
being somewhat mechanical, the
Nixon nomination bears the un-
mistakable Dewey stamp. That
it was smoothly executed Is the
mark of the Dewey team which
mastered its trade in two ma
tional and three State cam
paignS.
For a long time the Taft
forces tried vainly to trans
form Chicago into another Taft
versus Dewey contest. Their
efforts ranged from the studied
insult to the New York Cover
nor by Senator Dirksen Of
Illinois before the full conven-
ton to quiet argument in many
a hotel room from coast to
coast.
But here, as in the Southern
delegate fight, they misjudged
the party temper. AS one
Senator put it: Spare us an
other Taft-Dewey fight; let's get
on with something new"
Senator Nixon made the
beginnings of his ten-strike
last May 8 when he told the
New York State Republican
convention how Republicans can
win this fall. Attractive, artic-
ulate, speaking without notes,
he forcefully argued the favor
ite thesis of the Eisenhower
camp.
Briefly stated it is: 1T Re-

of course-he will start with a
big lead over any Republican due
to the rank-and-flle strength of
the Democratic Party.
From the standpoint of elec-
toral.. votes. the Democratic
Party cannot possibly win the
election without the South.
This means that. if the Tru-
NANTES insist on committing
suicide at Chicago by a Civil
Rights plank such as Senator
Humphrey foisted on them in
1948, they might as well begin
calling Dwight Eisenhower
President" the day after the
Democratic National Convention
adjourns. For. no matter how
much economic contentment
there Is in the North, it takes
266 electoral votes to win, and
without the Southern States this
time the Democrats can't win.
This indicates the. need for a
compromise on the issue.
That's the reason why SEN
ator Russell is such a strong
contender. A Stevenson Russell
ticket would have a better than
even chance of winning. Gov
ernor Stevenson has said he
would accept a genuine draft"
But If the nomination is to be
worth anything to him or any,
one else, the South will have to
be placated and won over whole
heartedly to the ticket. The ex-

ership are still talking mo COM

unless the people clearly under
stood those emotional issues, the
factor of economic contentment
would remain controlling.
Another overriding factor
may be the issue of corruption.
Up to now it has not been
dramatized from a political
standpoint. The meaning of
the sins committed in Washing
ton has not been clearly estab-
liShed to the voters. Lack of in
tegrity in the national Govern
ment can be a prevailing factor
in losing the election for the
party in power no matter what
the economic conditions.
Another factor which could
help the Republicans immensely
would be for President Truman
to stick to his whistle stop"
plan and go campaigning. II
the Nation gets the idea that
Mr.. Truman will run the next
administration and that he
chose the party's candidate, it
will make votes for the Repub-
lican Party. The President has
always had an inflated notion
that he personally won the 1948
election and that he did it by
campaigning. Actually he was
dragged into victory by the Dem
ocratic Party, which was much
stronger than he was, as can be
proved by examining the final
totals in various States. In Illi-
nois, for example, Gov. Steven
son won by about $4,000 votes
and Mr.. Truman squeezed in by
about 10000, and in Ohio the
margin was even wider between
the Truman vote and that Of
Gov. Lausche.

Doris FIeeson:

The big surprise Of the Re-
publican convention-the nomi-
nation of Senator Richard Nixon
for Vice President-was made in
New York, not in his native Cali
fornia.
Gov. Dewey and the aStute
Strategists he contributed to the
Eisenhower campaign had it
ready to unwrap as an artful
counterbalance to any conceS-
Sions on the vice presidency to
the Taft forces. The obvious
attractions of the parcel suited
the mood of a convention, ex-
hausted and weary of strife.
They bought it with scarcely
a thought of what might be its
real contents.
Scuttlebutt now prevalent
that Gov. Warren was not even
consulted is untrue. The
Governor of California was
brought into the Chicago con-
situations after trial balloons on
Nixon were being floated but
before the Senator had anything
like definite assurances he would
get the place.
Any objections interposed by
Gov. Warren would certainly
have carried weight. But he did
not want the place again him
self. He turned to the senior
Senator, Mr.. Knowland, to
whose family he owes much and
of whom he is very fond. Sena-
tor Knowland, after family con-
ferences, decided his future lay
with his Senate career, proceed
ing so well with his present re-
nomination by both parties.
Other candidates and their
hackers had their hour in con-
ferences with Eisenhower mana
gers after the vital Georgia vote
Wednesday proved that Ike was
in. Pains were taken to hear
them all and prove to them that
the sum total of Nixon's assets
exceeded theirs and met all the
requirements of the situation
with a bonus Of unique merit
thrown in.
Meanwhile, the trial balloons

great issue confronts the Nation
which requires that the interests
of the party be placed above
party loyalty. Q. The Demo-
cratic Party cannot meet this
issue. 3. The Republican Party
can. The issue is the survival
of the Nation.
When it became clear prac-
tically at once on his return
home that their hero, Gen.
Eisenhower, was no kind of an
orator and has an infirm grasp
of the shape of the situation he
must meet, the New Workers
realized they must reinforce him
with a campaigner at all costs.
They remembered Nixon and
they counted up his assets, all
quite obvious.
A casualty Of the decision to
take no chances but put over
Nixon by advance agreement
was Senator Margaret Chase
Smith of Maine. Senator Smith
could not attend the convention
as her mother is dying. It was
the firm intention. however, Of
members of the Business and
Professional Women's Clubs to
have her nominated for Vice
President; their national con-
vention had so ordered. Mrs.
Smith consented provided the
nomination came from outside
Maine; she did not want to put
any of the Maine delegation on
the spot.
For days, Mary Donlan, Dewey
appointed chairman Of the New
York State Industrial Board,
made difficulties. It was finally
agreed, over Miss DOMAINS de-
mand that the nomination be
made by Maine and therefore
localized, that Clare Boothe Luce
should nominate Senator Smith.
On the last day of the conven-
ton, the manager of the effort
in Senator Smiths behalf, a
New York woman, got the word:
Gov. Dewey hopes no one but
Gen. Eisenhower's choice will be
put in nomination. No one else

A Mystery
Robbery Still

BOSTON,, March 27 (INS)-
Mystery over the whereabouts of
two suspects picked up in con-
nection with the $681,000 Danv-
ers armored car robbery today
highlighted the investigation of the
looting.
At the same time, the company
which insured the firm w%hosetruck
was rifled in broad daylight Tues
day in the middle of the Boston
suburb announced it will post no
reward for apprehension of the
daring bandits.
However, a move was under way
in the Massachusetts Legislature
for a state reward of $4,000.
The two suspects were picked up
by East Boston authorities and
turned over tothe FBI. The latter
insisted later that the suspects
were freed, but East Boston police
said they had no knowledge of the
release and a check at the sus-
pects' homes brought word only
that "They haven't arrived yet"
Two other suspects were held
overnight in Roxbury for a line
up at headquarters this morning.
But observers felt their detention
was more or less routine"
Word that no reward money
would be offered was given by
Walter Palmer, detective for the
Commercial Union Assurance Com
pany of New York, which insured
both Drinks Inc, and the United
States Trucking Co., owners ofthe
looted truck.
Meanwhile, belief grew steadily
that the Hallowe'en-masked gang
which engineered the $1,219,000
stickup at the Drinks counting

so, also was responsible for the
