NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-The
Republican and Democratic
nominees for the presidency are
battling grimly here this week.
though they may not meet face
to face, nor even have much to
say about each other.
In a series of conferences on
foreign policy. minority rights
and related questions, Gen.
Eisenhower is working against
time to nail down his present
advantage in this crucial State
before Gov. Stevenson can get
started.
The General has the edge for
several reasons.

This is something of what is

there is: What is "the real Ike?"

It was so with Gen. Eisenhower

in 1914 and 1948.
But in all that time they

sincerity which is all too rare

this country but throughout the

The art Of politics has be-

The revulsion Of feeling in
America today against the pol

who, through "ghost-written"
speeches, balances his phrases
nicely will fool lots Of people.
But in many q congressional
district it has happened that a
candidate who says simple
truths often beats out the ex-

Here is the type Of speech
which, in effect, Gen. Eisen-
hover is trying to make. though
he hasn't gotten the idea across
except to small delegations:

Gen. Eisenhower has decided
to shift his principal campaign
headquarters to Washington. At
the same time. it Is expected
that he will inject new blood
and more experienced politi-
clans from among the older Re-
publican Party leaders into his
general staff"
In the few days since his
arrival in New York, the Re-
publican presidential nominee
has heard more plain and blunt
talk from harassed Republicans
who are worrying about the out
come Of the November elections
than he has heard throughout
the last IL years during which
he rose to leadership in the
Army and more recently in poll
tics. He has learned from these
men that there is q real differ
ence between leading millions
Of men in arms to victory and
leading political party on the

During recent conferences,
words such as II respectfully

ticians just as they were in the

were spoken with an entirely

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-If
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower can
get out Of New York and on the
road within the next week. as
scheduled, without having his
hide flguratively torn in shreds
by carping and dissenting po-
litical advisers within his own
camp. he might be able to get
his campaign 'off the ground"
as the advisers put it.
It certainly is not going well
now-at least to listen and read
the self-appointed and self
anointed critics.
He and his campaign are suf-
fering from the familiar old
complaint of too many cooks.
This is magnified by his insult
flcient knowledge of the intri-
cate operations of practical poll
tics, which makes it hard for
him to decide which advice is
sound.
In some ways it is perhaps
unfortunate for his campaign at
this stage that he had to come
to New York. In its preliminary
planning stage at Denver the
General-become-politician also
was besieged and torn by con-
fiict of counsel. But Denver is
far OF, away from the main
road, and the confusion was not
dramatized nearly so luridly
there in a space of several weeks
as it has been. here in a few
days.
New York is the communica-
tions center Of our Nation and
a public figure gets the full
treatment with intimate details
on this scene.
But there is more than that.
Here are concentrated those
powerful interests and their po-
litical advisers and handymen
who had so much to do with his
nomination and who are 50 des-
perately anxious that he win
and turn the Democrats out Of
Washington. They operate on
the theory that they have a
proprietary. interest which gives
them the right to run the show.
When the general arrived here,
they began to talk all at once,
q veritable babel-but not by
any means with a single voice.
It was a discord. not a chorus.
These people have skill of a
sort that is valuable in certain
fields and especially so since
they can, because Of their

seem stuck at the tag end Of
their great era which began
with AL Smith. The crafty old
bosses are fading away; the new
leaders seem painfully i'm
mature. They are forced to
share their power with the nom
Communist left. the Liberal
Party, and to act as II they like
it.
What Ike has not got which
gave New York to Gov. Dewey
in 1948 is Henry Wallace. The
Progressive Party still Is on

figure significantly in the out

The argument assuredly is
forceful in New York and

Whether the new party can

Some clues to the situation
Evening star., 1952-08-27
Dovid Lowrence:

What has been happening to
Gen. Eisenhower since he be-
came a candidate for the presi-
dency is a very interesting story
of the inner conflict between
fine character Of high principle
and the complexities of modern
politics.
It presents a paradox which
probably has no parallel in po-
litical history.
It explains why. on the one
hand, the general is disappoint-
ing the professional political
groups and seemingly making
mistakes which mean a loss
Of votes. and yet. on the other
hand. why that very weakness
may turn out to be point Of
strength with q good many
voters.
Gen. Eisenhower resembles
the average man more than he
does a political leader. He likes
to. say what he feels and to ex-
press it in ordinary words. What
comes out in his extemporane-
Gus speeches is what he feels
in his heart. He is earnest,
sincere, fortnight in expressing
what he believes are fundamen-
tails. Persons who hear him feel
they have listened to a man who
is basically honest and, If
elected. would do an honest job.
He would get all sides of a con-
troversy. He would do what he
thought was fair and for the
best interests of the country
when he made a decision.
Yet, when Gen. Eisenhower
says things like that in his
speeches, they come out in the
form of phrases that in cold
print look like platitudes. They
are unexciting words. They are
words that appear to contain
nothing new. But there is some
thing new in them-a profound
Evening star., 1952-08-27

and then clean up the mess. It's
the business Of the executive
branch Of. our Government to
see to 1t that there isn't any
mess there for Congress TO in
vestigate.
These scandals touch you
and me--they're q matter Of
common honesty. and no amount
Of statistics saying that only
q small per cent are crooked
wipes away the fact that we
must not let anybody at all fix
taxes or Ak Government officials'
and get favors by buying In
fiuence or pull with mink coats
or any other kind Of bribe."
Maybe that kind of speech
would make more sense than q
lot of high-sounding phrases
about corruption" and moral
turpitude" and other highbrow
words. The average voter may
see in Gen. Eisenhower q simple
man like himself not too skilled
in phrase making, but honest
minded and ready to call the
shots as he sees them.
Maybe If Gen. Eisenhower
said frankly a few things about
the issues that are paramount
and left the minor ones alone,
he would make more progress,
particularly if he can find a way
to bring his magnetic person.
atty closer to the people. For
what counts in Gen. Eisenhower
is his simplicity and candor.
He isn't a slick politician or a
slick lawyer or a slick user of
words. He's just a, good public
servant with an excellent mind
and executive ability, q high
sense Of duty. and a conscience
which tells him that political,
expediency is often dishonest
and that sincerity is the only
thing he can offer in its place.

But Peiandok's gift of scent was second to

Hari saw his wary play was up. He shot

blanket of heat over the jungle had reached
1872 degrees in the shade.
White men are careful to stay under cover
at this time, and few wild things stir abroad
except on very urgent business.
Pelandok, the mouse-deer, was abroad and
his business was urgent. His mate had been
captured by Mayfeld, the American animal
collector, three days before. He knew where
she was, in little bamboo cage in the clearing
of the white mans camp.
For three days he had held communication
with her by means of ground telegraph, code
of rapid hoofbeats on the ground which the
tribe of mouse-deer developed ages ago for
warning and protection, because they were the
littlest, the least of all the jungle.
Pelandok, tiny hornless deer, was perfect
in every respect, though he would have tipped
the scales at less than four pounds Flea of

where his kind was treated with an almost
superstitious reverence by the natives. They
considered him the bringer of good fortune =

love for his mate was constant as the Pole Star.
He was among the most highly developed of

within signal call, ready to do all that mouse

Now he was cautiously approaching the

reconnaissance Only the sharpest eye could
