Truman Intends To Stump for
 Demo Candidate
By Earnest B. Vaccaro

KEY WEST, Fla, (R)-Presi- dent Truman settled down Satur- day at his favorite camp to Timber up for the 1852 political cham pionship fight.
 He intends to stump the coun- try virtually state by state, in this years election campaigns, either as a candidate for re-elec- ton, or the champion of the Dem ocratic Party's national and con- gressiGnal candidates.
 The President, who flew here from Washington Friday, took to the beach for a swim in the Atlan- tic and a sunbath at the enlisted mems beach of this Naval sub- marine station.
 He plans to stay here for three weeks, unless there should be a change for the worse in the con- dition of Mrs. David w. Wallace, Mrs. Truman's 89-year-old mother who is seriously ill at Blair House in Washington.
 Truman's close associates think he definitely will announce his candidacy for reelection, or his intention to give up the presi- dency, in an important political speech in Washington March 29, the day after his return to Wash ington.
 The occasion will be the $1O0- a-pla te Democratic Jefferson Jackson dinner in the National Guard armory.

preening itself on its non-politi-
cal record.
It took a long time for the
civilian authorities. despite in
tense provocation, to remind
Gen. Macarthur how the Ameri-
can system works. Generally
speaking however. he was a
special case and the defense
heads have maintained their
control very well. In the Van
Fleet instance. they feel mouse.
trapped by the presidential
campaign but they resent it and
so do many within the military
itself.
These are unusual times.
United States commanders have
never been in quite the position
they are today where the
country is not quite either at
peace or war and the policy be-
ing followed is the subject of
virulent debate between the two
major parties.
It Is perhaps not surprising
that one Of them at least ap-
pears to have succumbed to the
emotional tensions Of the extra
ordinary era in which they must
operate. It will still be calami-
tous If the Defense Department
goes the way Of the Truman
State Department and ends up,
in any administration, the cap
tive of its critics.

Trunnon's NATO View WRONG?
Tour of Pivotal Countries in Western Defense SetuP
Results in Finding at Odds With What U. S. Is Told

Unless the reports being re-
ceived at the White House from
abroad are being doctored be-
fore they, reach President Tru-
man or he himself is doing some
personal election-time interpre-
tation. it is hard to understand
how statements such as "the
free world is now reaching the
turning point in the struggle
against the Reds" or "the bal
ances are moving in our favor
can be uttered to the American
electorate.
This reporter has just re-
turned from q five-weeks tour
Of European countries which
are considered the pivots Of
Western defense. Neither re-
sponsible Americans nor states
men in France and Britain are
particularly pleased over the
progress Of the NATO defenses.
The troops available to the SUI
preme commander, Gen. Mat
thew Ridgway-10 good Ameri-
can-British divisions and five
fair French and Belgian divi-
sionS in Germany-are very far
from being able to offer more
than a stiff but temporary re-
sistance to a Red onslaught. AS
things stand now only addi-
tional American forces can I'LL
the vacuum.
It is true that most diplomats
do not believe that Stain "in-
tends" to attack Western Eu-
rope at this time. He is working
overtime to detach France and
the Benelux countries from the
Western coalition. But generals
who are responsible for Euro
pean defense cannot reckon on
Stains intentions; they must
take into account Russia's "ca-
pabilities" lest we be faced with
another Korea. The Red land
and air forces definitely have
the capability to defeat us.

Another Poll Names Eisenhower

opinions of the editors were so
evenly divided.
In several instances, the edi-
tors pointed out that they were
not supporting the candidate
they thought would carry the
State. The confidential ques-
tionnaire promised that no
names would be revealed. But
some idea of the closeness Of the
election in States which are
normally Democratic can be
obtained by quoting what Mis-
sissippi editor said:
This is the damndest mess
I've ever witnessed. I don't be-
ieve there is a man living that
can interpret it.
Both sides are fighting, with
the Eisenhower supporters the
most vociferouS. It Is the silent
ones you better watch, for there
is where the dynamite lies.
THAT little misfit in the
White House is doing Stevenson
all the harm possible even with
the staunchest Democrats. Ad-
miration Is heard for Stevenson
but they cannot accept any part
Of Truman. That is going to
be big factor in the Stevenson
vote.
"It Is a foregone conclusion
that the Republican vote in Mis-
sissippi will be the largest ever,
aided by the fact that the three
sets Of G. o. p. electors have
merged INTO one to count every
vote. making it Democrats VS..
Republicans now. It sets a pre-
cedent in Mississippi.
Would say the vote will be
heavy but as to the percentage
either way, will not make a pre-
diction It is impossible and
polls are unreliable, as other
campaigns have shown.
my honest opinion Is that
the people have gone on a long
strike against the crackpots and
morons that started flocking to
Washington when this crowd
took over Washington. Thank
God, they are thinking again."
One South Carolina editor
wrote: 'Ike can win If the vote
is not too heavy-a rainy elec-
ton day would carry South
Carolina for Ike"
Another editor from that State
wrote: With Gov. Byrnes for
Ike. the chance Of the miracle
C. o. p. victory in South Car
olina is growing"
With Mississippi and South
Carolina editors talking that
way. it has seemed to this cor
respondent that the Northern
States will witness a big turn
over of normal Democratic ma
jorities and that Ike will win.

The efficacy of the Western
defenses depends on the organi-
zation Of a German force Of at
least IL divisions and Of a de-
tense system in depth in Spain.
A number Of blueprints to satis-
fy this urgent strategic necessity
exist in the files Of the NATO
and in the hands of the Ameri-
can economic and air missions
in Madrid. But they are likely
to remain mere blueprints for
some time.
At this time the French Ma
tional Assembly, in whose hands
rest the fate of the Pinay gov
ernment. is overwhelmingly op-
posed to ratification of the Paris
treaty which would bring
German army into the NATO.
The withholding Of such ratifi-
cation by the Paris parliament
renders useless its approval by
the United States Senate last
June.
The French insistence to
detach politically the coal-rich
Saar from Germany has delayed
the confirmation of the Paris
pact by the West German par
lament. Military men who must
think realistically are unani-
nous in their evaluation that
unless a German army Of at
least 100000 men Is organized
and equipped, the European de-

Gen. James A Van Fleets de-
mands for the training and
equipping OF more South Ko-
reans were refused by the Pen
tagon because Gen. Eisenhower
demanded and got first priority
for the NATO forces which he
then commanded.
This statement was made by
an authoritative Pentagon
source. The source added that
the NATO program had now ad-
vanced to the point where more
South Korean divisions can be
put into service and that this
was being done. 1t was said that
Gen. Ridgway understood the
situation when he commanded
in Korea and has given his as

his new post as Gen. Eisen-
hower's successor.
It is probably too late in the
campaign for charge and coun-
ter-charge to meet on an equal
footing. Many politicians cal
lously count on this as part OF
the game.
The Pentagon has another

opments as the Van Fleet letter.

In this final adventure the
Presidents rough and ready
campaigning took on a more

For that he has been criticized,

some few cases where he stepped

willing to roll up his sleeves.
He has a feeling for his party
which it is not possible for Cen
Dwight D. Eisenhower to have
or perhaps ever to acquire for
the party in which he enlisted
himself, by draft so to speak,
for a specific mission. The gen.
eral has not known the joys and
sorrows Of ceaseless toll in the
political vineyard which creates
understanding for politics and
affection for a party and also
brings heartbreak every so often
along with triumphs and re-
wards, and. very rarely, glory.
Harry Truman's long associa-
ton explains the warmth. the
personal touch that he gets into
his campaigning which are lack
ing in General Eisenhower.
The general is unable to iden-
tify himself closely with his
party. He still seems to be a
man speaking for himself. He
cannot speak Of his party with
that fond familiarity that is in
stinctive with President Tru-
man.
This is something that is
rather important In politics.
Harry Truman believes in
something very passionately,
and he is ready to fight for it..
It is that which endears him to
so many Of the plain people to
whom he has become a symbol.
He is more perhaps in the mold
of Andrew jackson than any
other of our Presidents. Old
Hickory knew the enemies Of
the people, and singled them out
by name. and blistered them in
unadorned language. So does
Harry Truman. The enemies, in

letter was q plant, not the acci-
dent of q wife's desire to help
Gen Eisenhower. (Mrs. Van
Fleet said Gen. Eisenhower
asked her. for a letter which
her husband wrote to an asso-
ciate here and that her husband
wouldn't mind being hurt If
it would help Eisenhower.")
It so happens that the Secre-
tary OF Defense, the gifted Rob-
ert A. Lovett, and his Deputy
Secretary. William c. Foster.
formerly with Paul Hoffman in
ECA, are Republicans. The 80
per cent or more Of Democrats
who occupy the other top civil
ian defense posts have cooper
ated with them whole-heartedly
in the effort to detach the De-
tense Department from the pres
idential campaign.
All agreed that as a minimum
standard, they would not make
political speeches. They decided
also to take special pains not to
act or comment in such . way
that the politicians could make
use Of them.
This effort has been very sue
cesSful. Incidents occur in

bases in Spain but also to train
and supply more modern weap-
ons to the 100000 Spaniards
who are at present under arms.
# this matter had been left to
the discretion Of our military
men it would have been done
some time ago. But the State
Department believes that it

Spain.
Political considerations still
prevail over urgent military
necessities. While all strategistS
agree that a defense in depth Il
essential and the Iberian penin-
sula offers the best opportunity
for such a second line Of de-
fense, the prejudices against
Generalissimo Frances mild
totalitarianism voids the efforts

The French have intimated
that any attempt on our part to

There is. however, no objection
