Constantine Brown:
Job Was Easier Than Expected
Eisenhower and Taft in Substantial Agreement Policies;
All but Handful of Die-Hords Will Rally Around Leader

Now that Gen. Eisenhower
and Senator Taft are "in sub
stantial agreement" on most
policies, the Republican high
command is expected to get into
high gear and continue to slug
until election day. All but a
handful Of die-hardS will rally
around the leader who they
hope will lead them to victory
in November.
According to those who have
participated in the efforts to
bring the powerful Taft faction
into the Eisenhower camp, the
job was easier than anticipated
after they succeeded in con-
vincing the Standard-bearer of
the absolute necessity to unity
the party.
Chronologically, these are the
developments:
Immediately after his nom
ination in Chicago, Gen. Eisen-
hover went to Denver where he
was surrounded exclusively by
those whom the opposition de-
scribed as the king makers.
There he became isolated from
the rest Of the party. The few
"neutralS" who visited him in
Colorado attempted to point out
the dangers Of split party but
made little headway. Gen.
Eisenhower, with little expert
ence in party politics and with
a deep sense of loyalty toward
those who stood strongly by hun.
paid little attention to the warn
mgS of old time party men.
Not only were the Taft sup
porters Sulking, but some leaders
in Congress became worried that
the generals attitude would lead
the Republicans to defeat. Some
attempts were made by the po-
litically experienced Senator
Carlson to convince Eisenhower
and his general staff" they
should think in broader terms
and bring into the fold not only
the avowed former Taft sup
porters' but also those who were
on the fringe but were irked by

9O96 Farm Aid Program
Is Attacked by Robertson
by the Assoeiotsd Press

COURTLAND, Va, Sept. 13.-
Senator Robertson, Democrat, of
Virginia, yesterday attacked the
90 per cent rigid support program
adopted by Congress in its clos
ing session this year.
He told a farmers group here
that the law is calculated to
price the farmers products "out
of the world market, leaving us
with ruinouS Surpluses of price
depressing character"
Mr.. Robertson said, however,
1.-THE removal of reasonable agri-
cultural supports would be dan
gerouS because it might lead to
another debacle such as occurred
in 1930-33 when more than a
million farmers lost their homes
through bankruptcy, and the loss
Of farm purchasing power in turn

virginian Kills Bride, II,
Is Shet Deadly Son-in-Law
By the Assecioted Press

PALMYRA, Va. Sept. 13.-Po-
lice reported an elderly Tluvanna
County Negro shot and killed his
71-year-old bride of nine months
yesterday and in turn was shot
fatally by his son-in-law.
The son-in-law, william Blue,
was quoted by police as saying
that Joseph Hackney blasted his
wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Keyes Hack
ney. with a shotgun after she
would not say whether she would
take him back. The couple had
been separated since about al
month after their marriage last
January.
Blue was arrested and charged
with murder after police said hel
put a revolver bullet through
Hackney's heart following the first
shooting.

However, Mr.. Green told the
convention of the AFL Interna-
tional Chemical Workers yester-
day:
I'VE cannot and do not under
take to tell our members how to
vote. or to deliver their votes to
any particular candidate. Nor is
it necessary to do so in order to
secure our political objectives.

they know who their friends and

they will vote for those candidates

operate and support them. AS
an example. they mentioned the
case of Senator Mccarthy whom
Gen. Eisenhower had slapped
down in a statement to the
press, and one of his chief ad-
viSers, Paul Hoffman, had
actively attacked when he testi-
fled in favor of Democratic
Senator Benton in preliminary
trial examination in Washing
ton.
Gen. Eisenhower accepted the
frankness of his fellow Repub-
licanS from the "other side"
good naturedly. He admitted
that there was much he had to
learn about political strategy
and tactics. Shortly thereafter
his speeches became more pun
gent and he also decided the
question of appearing on the
same platform with Senator
Jenner in Indianapolis. He also
accepted as a fact that the full
support of Senator Taft and his
many supporters was more i'm
portant than wooing fringe
voters or leaning backward to
win the favor of the so-called
liberals" in both parties.
The landslide victory of Sena-
tor Mccarthy in Wisconsin,
which came as a surprise to most
Republicans insofar as the size
of the vote was concerned,
further convinced the general
of the necessity of keeping close
to all segments of the party.
This new concept of the candi-
date which developed after he
came in close touch with the
political facts of life in New
York helped a great deal in his
successful meeting with Taft.
The full extent of their conver-
sation will be known much later.
But Republican strategists are
convinced that in the forthcom-
ing campaign Gen. Eisenhower
will use besides Senator Taft all
talents from Oregon's extreme
liberal Wayne Morse to Wiscon-
sins stormy petrol Joe Mccarthy.

And Now the Great Crusade Is Really on it's Way

Now, the great crusade can 20
forward, hitting on both cylin-
ders. Senator Taft has taken to
the field. EiSenhower's general
staff can cease worrying on that
score. Not that there ever was
any cause for the worry, but
worry they did right up to the
moment Mr.. Republican en-
erged from the front door of the
house furnished by Columbia
University to it's president-on-
leave and handed to the press a
ringing restatement of his party
loyalty.

once again what it started out to
be. It is a crusade against Dem
ocratS, against the infidels who
have held the stronghold of
Government in Washington the
past 20 years.
For a time it seemed to have
detoured and to have become a
crusade against the camp of
rival Republicans, led by Robert
the Lion Hearted. With the holy
zeal of the fanatically pure,
General Ike's brave men sought
out the Taftites wherever they
could be found-even in far-off
Texas, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi-and smote them hip and
thigh. Carrying the battle to
Chicago, they made the issue

the generals lack of interest in
them.
Senator Carlson's efforts paid
dividends only after Gen. Eisen-
hover broke up his Denver
headquarters and went to New
York to speak before the Ameri-
can Legion convention. Like
his previous campaign speeches
it fell fiat.
In New York Gen. Eisenhower
heard not only the criticism of
newspapers which had strongly
supported him before the con-
vention, but was submitted to
some very frank language from
party members whom he had
finally called for a "chat" at the
urging of Senator Carlson. They
told him in private discussion
that he was slipping badly: that
even some of the New England
States which had been so over
whelmingly in his favor were be-
coming doubtful and the idea of
staying at home on election day
was gaining momentum.
These veteran Republicans
pointed out to Gen. Eisenhower
that many Republicans who had
favored him because of the
slogan Taft can't win" were
beginning to fear that Ike can't
win" Some went so far as to
predict that if the strategy
adopted at Denver by his gen.
eral staff continued he would
suffer a defeat similar to that
of Alf Landon in 1886.
These men did not mince
words and told him that to OBJ
tain victory two things were
absolutely necessary: Cd a de-
termined slugging campaign
wherein old friendships must
be overlooked wnen it comes to
real criticism and CD the neces-
sity OF drawing Senator Taft
and his host of supporters ac-
lively into the campaign.
They told Gen. Eisenhower
that every Republican who has
a following in his own territory
must be induced to work and
that the general in turn should

the minions of the Old Guard.
This battle. the bitterest with
in the Republican Party since
the memorable conflict between
Theodore Roosevelt and another
Taft, was expected to leave
bruises if not permanent scars.
Whatever anybody else may
think. Senator Taft has an abid-
ing belief in his own integrity
and doesn't like to have it chal-
lenged. What would he do when
he had finished licking his
wounds? Would he link arms
with the man who had inflicted
all those painful decorations on
his sensitive skin?
The question became acute
when Gen. Eisenhower, follow
ing his nomination, told the
press in Denver. "It is impossible
for me to give blanket support
to anyone who holds views that
would violate my conception of
what is decent. right, just and
fair" True, this statement was
made in response to a question
concerning Taft'S friend, Sen

Labor Unions Puts
The People First
BY Randolph L. White

While thousands of well-meaning peo-
pie are opposed to Labor Unions, they
have adopted this view mainly due to ig-
norance of the real purpose of such unions
rather than from any desire to see the
American working people exploited by uu-
scrupulous employers.
Labor unions are nothing more than or
CARNATIONS of workers who seek to better
themselves.
Everyone who labors needs guidance
and protection. Iiabor unions merely ex-
tend to their members these means of bet
tering themselves.
1t is only by raising the working and liv-
ing standards of the working people that
the living standards of the whole nation
is helped.
Labor unions are also interested in the
social problems of the people. They are
interested in the hours, wages and work
ing conditions; yes, even the housing con-
dltions of their members. Such unions al
so show respect for the individual and his
opinions. They teach the value of the in
dfvinual and his well-being to the COM
munlty. They teach men to respect their
employer; their fellOw-workers and the
community in which they live. Because
modern trade unions realize that it is only
mutual respect and fair dealing that is
most conducive to better employe r-em-
ployee relations. The unions make a MEM
Der realize the Importance of his job; of
his place in the community and in the ma
ton. Thus, the working man or woman is
able to- appreciate his or her position in
all three more fully.
Where there is mutual respect and fair
dealing there will be advantages for ev-
eryone. Trade unions enable members to
better evaluate the things that they have
and the things they want. Thus the work
e,'s will not be easily swayed by propagan-l
