Small wonder that Gen. Eisenhower
shrank from embarking on this CAM

So this Superpatriot. this paragon of

hover has never been ION his own"
The tough decisions and the major
plans were made for him by three levels
above him. the chiefs of state. princi-
pally F. D. r. and later Truman; the
Combined Chiefs of Staff, and below
them the Joint Staff Eisenhower mere
ly executed the decisions and the direc-
tives flowing from those levels-and to
give him due credit he was good in a
unique but limited role.
This whole affair will point up that
Eisenhower will sacrifice man, in order
to win. with the ruthlessness that he
displayed in embracing Jenner, McCar-
thy and Taft regardless Of their prin-
ciples. He even has indicated he will
initiate that butcher Cromwell whom he
quotes apparently with approval "The
Roundheads," he said, went into battle

All Americans had better take another
look at this ruthlessly ambitious soldier

On Sunday, September Al, we listened

Senator Morse, self-styled liberal and
exemplar Of political morality, was the

who paid him for his work were entitled
to get report Of that information

OF course. got monopoly, and paid for
the monopoly-commonly known as q
scoop. we suppose. Who got this money?
Did the United States Treasury get it?
1t begins to look as If the people who
get to Congress have greater need for
code Of ethics than the civil service
employees for whom they so frequently
want to legislate.
AT any rate. we think that Senator
Morse made very definite Democratic
speech. including his personal pats on
the back. He looks like the man without
q party. l Don't Like Morse.
I'm for Nixon 101 per cent. For to
me he's 80 and 9/1O per cent pure and
