Ike and His Amateurs

substantial measure Of General Eisen-
hower's military success was grounded in his
ability to reconcile and coordinate divergent
interests under his command. He is facing
somewhat similar problem today with regard to
his so-called amateur and professional political
supporters.
powerful force in the preconvention drive
which brought about the Republican nomination
of the general was the Citizens for Eisenhower
organization. Leaders Of this group declared it
to be representative of grass-roots movement Of
voters, regardless of party aation or lack of it,
whose greatest concern was to see General
Eisenhower in the White House.
With the nomination accomplished, the
obvious question then was how this non-pro-
fessional organization should continue its efforts
on behalf of the general and his running mate,
Senator Nixon.
The 1ong-term strength Of any political party
Is to be found in its organizational responsibility
extending from the national leadership down
through the States, counties cities and precincts.
A breakdown on any one of these levels is usually
just as damaging as breaking a single link in a
chain. To keep the party workers at each level
effectively strong in the year-around and be-
tween-elections political service requires recog-
milton Of their local problems and due return
for their efforts These are the professionals who

crusade in their search for another.
It was widely charged against Wendell
Wilkie in 1910 that he forgot these professionals.
especially the ones back at the crossroads and that
his defeat might be attributed in large to
this oversight. Since there are certain obvious
parallels in the fact that neither Willkie nor
Eisenhower were professional candidates and
that many of their most energetic supporters
were not professional party workers 1t is logical
that the bogey of how to reconcile and make
the best use of both the amateur and professional
Eisenhower followers should be given high
priority.
The announced solution is represented as a
compromise, dictated in substance by the general
himself. It will permit the Citizens for Eisen-
hover and Nixon to continue as a separate
campaign agency but under the constraint that
its operations must be co-ordinated at all levels
through the director Of organization of the
Republican National Committee. As the arrange
ment was announced, National Chairman Sum-
merfeld carefully specified that the entire party
ticket will be Of equal concern in November
presumably a reinsurance that efforts on behalf
of congressional, State and local candidates will
not be sighted.
It may be November before there can be q
deinitive evaluation of this particular Eisen-
hover compromise, but it is clear that he has
recognized the problem and has attempted to
solve 1t in way not foreign to his habit.

Threats From Harlem

Representative Powell, Democrat Of New
York whose district includes Harlem, is denounc-
ing the Democratic plank on civil rights as weak
and equivocal. He is planning visits to Governor
Stevenson and Senator Sparkman to obtain from
them their interpretations of the plank and how
they stand on it. If their statements are unSatiS
factory to him, Mr.. Powell says he will advise
Negro voters to boycott the polls on election day.
except for local and congressional elections.
Without the Negro vote, he says, the Democrats
cannot carry New York and other big cities.
Mr.. Powell cannot speak for the Negro voter,
or promise to deliver him as bloc, with any more
real assurance than his colored colleague in the
House, Representative William L. Dawson Of
Chicago. And Mr.. Powell is as harshly critical
Of Mr.. Dawson as he is Of the civil rights plank.
He attributes to Mr.. Dawson a conciliatory and
compromising attitude on the plank, and says
that Mr.. Dawson helped stif1e a minority report
on civil rights. Many Negro voters may be
expected to conclude that Mr.. Dawson's thinking
on civil rights Is as sound as Mr.. Powe1'S, in
30 far as political expediency is concerned,
realizing that more votes can be lost than won
by so-called STRONG" plank.
What Mr.. Powell may succeed in doing, II he
seeks to apply his own test Of loyalty on civil
rights to Governor Stevenson and Senator Spark
man, is to obtain more solid backing Of the
Democratic ticket in the South than now exists.
Nothing is more apt to bring about such result
than the spectacle of Mr.. Powell threatening the
candidates and urging his Harlem constituents
to boycott the Democratic ticket.
If the Democratic candidates do not toe
his mark, where does Mr.. Powell go? Under his
own standards, the Republican plank is the
weaker of the two. It's relative weakness, in this
respect, is evidently what induced 16 Republican
leaders to unite in statement pledging their
efforts to obtain compulsory FEPC legislation
which goes much further than the Republican
plank or the Republican candidates. The state
ment follows the political principle that it is
advantageous to work both sides of the street.

Legacy of the Steel Strike

The steel strike is over, but its evil effects
still inger on, and they will continue to lnger on
for many a month to come-to the detriment
of our own national security and the security
Of the entire free world.
One of the effects has just been announced
by Acting Secretary of the Army Carl r.
Bendetsen. It is simply this: That throughout
the remainder Of the current fiscal year, which
has barely begun, there will be such serious
shortage of heavy ammunition that the Strictest
kind of raioning will have to be followed every
where but In Korea, where special priorities will
operate to maintain the frepower Of our troops.
The reason for the shortage affecting
principally weapons like bazookas, mortars,
recoilless rifles and heavy artillery-is that the
Army, as result of the steel strike, has been
forced to make cut of 81 per cent in its planned
production Of ammunition for fiscal 1858. What
this means, among other things, is the likelihood
that there will be no frepower available, or
precious little of It, for the training OF National
Guard units, reserves or regular troops Except
Korean replacementS) stationed In the United
States.
But the Army, which will be adversely affected
in other ways as well, is not the only service
that must suffer from the strikes effects. Far
from it. The Navy and Air Force have been
similarly hard hit. With between 20 and 80 per
cent of this years expected arms output lost
CovobAAo44AAACAAv
been seriously set back-and at q time Of deadly
world danger. Never has labor management
dispute-a dispute stopping all steel output for
nearly eight weeks-had more perilous conse-
quences for the Nation.
Defense Secretary Lovett has summed up the
matter very well in these words spoken on the
eve Of the strike settlement: mo enemy action,
no form Of bombing, could have taken out OF
production in one day $50 steel plants and kept
them out nearly two months 1t is a tragic thing
we have done to ourselves Whether 1t Is murder
committed by some one else or suicide by our
selves, the effect is the same =. A shameful
thing!"
Words could not be truer. Sooner or later,
If it is to avert catastrophe, our country must
fnd ways and means Of preventing, in days OF
crisis and emergency, the kind Of strikes that
could be the undoing of all Of us.

OPPORTUNITIES AT HOME

Quite often leaders Of Vir-
gin islanders in New York
indicate that tradesmen and
professionals who have migrat
ed there from the islands for
economic reasons would be
willing to come back and set
tie if they could be assured Of
gainful employment. Sons
tradesmen have returned from
time to time to look over the
situation but they have found
conditions too unstable for
them to pull up roots on the
Mainland and resettle here.
This was particularly true
during the hectic period inn
mediately preceding the last
war when there was insuffici-
ent labor to meet the urgent
demand for the construction
Of military installations.
Now it appears that the
Virgin Islands are moving
into a more stable period Of
economic prosperity. Instead
Of buildings being thrown
together hastily for war, we
are constructing community
facilities and homes Tor peace
and the well being Of the in
habitants. In this building

men and professionals might
find additional opportunities
in the commercial fields relat-
ed to their calling in which
they could supplement earn

the islands. For people who.
are willing to work and risk
the Virgin Islands really offer
splendid opportunities. If
people from all over the Unit
ed States and even from dis
tant foreign land can be
attracted here by the existing
opportunities and with their
skill and initiative make good,
it is reasonable to believe that
Virgin islanders with similar
outlook who were economic
.exiles can return home with
the hope Of achieving the
same degree Of success.
It seems to us that Virgin
Islands leaders in New York
could make q worthwhile com
tribution to the advancement
of their islands and help to
solve a series Of problems by
cataloging the skills available
for use here and working
closely with the proper autho-
rites in the islands to have

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

Most women are aware that
lighting has a great effect on the
way they look. Bad lighting can
make a woman look literally years
older while flattering lights take
years from her face. I learned
long ago that some lights on some
lecture platforms made me look
10 years older than I did in broad
daylight.
I think you might enjoy this
little experiment. Put on a black
or dark colored dress, turn on the
lights and stand in front of the
bathroom mirror. Look at your
self. Now take white bath towel
and drape it across your chest and
over your shoulders. Look again.
Do you see how many of the
shadows have disappeared? For
this reason. light colors and white
trimming at the neck are becom-
ing.
There is a brand new cosmetic
which I must report to you be-
cause it works on the same prin-
ciple. 1t does away with the
shadows in those hollows in the
face which add years to a woman's
appearance. In fact it fills the
hollows with light because the
product has a highly reflective
quality. This new cosmetic does
not in any way lift the face, but
it gives the illusion of doing so.
It is invisible and easy to apply.
You put it under the eyes, from
nose to mouth and mouth to chin
and at the temples, and then
blend it outward. These are the
spots in which shadows fall.
While this is not a cosmetic COL
umn, I do report truly new ideas
to you when I find them.
Remember the lighting prin-
ciple in your dress, your makeup
and the lighting in your drawing
room. This can make all the diff
ference in the world in the way
you look. For a long time. make
up experts have been telling us to
keep rouge out Of the hollows of
the cheeks, to use lighter powder
