Ahead
By JULIUS j. ADAMS

NEW YORK. (GlobaD = Just
what purpose is served by dis
gruntled Democrats, labor officials
and Negro leaders who persist in
the tommyrot that the smashing
victory of General Eisenhower
over Governor Stevenson was not
a Republican victory, is hard 10
perceive.
Of course, the personal popu-
larity of General Eisenhower
played a big part in the triumph.
SO what! Does anyone presume
to deny that it was the personal
popularity of President Roosevelt
that kept the Democrats in power
for so long a time? Yet, all his
victories were accepted as Demo-
cratic victories. AS hard as the
Republican regulars worked both
for General EiSenhoWer'S nOmina-
ton and subsequent election, not
even Jack Kroll of CIO is on sound
ground when he seeks to dismiss
this effort on the part of the Re-
publican organization.
General Eisenhower proved him.
self not only a popular figure, but
also a most competent one. His
campaigning was not on basis of
popularity, but on issues. It should
be recalled that for quite some
time after his return from Europe,
General Eisenhower was having a
hard time of it, even from some
of his good friends who were criti-
cal of him and his activities.
One New York newspaper that
was supporting him said he was
running like a dry creek" An
other early supporter, Oregon's
Senator Wayne Morse, deserted
not only General Eisenhower, but
the Republican Party as we'll.
It will also be recalled, how
ever, that this correspondent wrote
in this very same space, follow
ing a visit with General Eisen-
hover, that it was "still early
and that the candidate would "let
the world know where he stands
on every major issue before cleo
ton time" That prediction which,

in fact, was the Generals prom
ise. happily came true and that is
what won.
And, despite what the unhappy
boys are saying now, the Generals
campaign followed pretty closely
the COP platform which neither
called for repeal of the Taft
Hartley Law, nor compulsory
FEPC law, to mention just two
issues which the Democrats fig
ured would add to the popularity
of their cause.
Perhaps Mr.. Kroll (who made his
observation about the Eisenhower
victory in a report on the cleo
tom felt compelled to show some
measure of success in order to JUS
tify continuance of the Political
Action Committee of CIO. He
stated in his report that he be-
lieves from 70 to Is per cent of
|CIO members followed the Union
and voted for Governor Stevenson.
If he believes that, very few other
people besides him believe it.
The assertion that the Generals
having been in the public eye for
many years give him an advantage
that could not be overcome in
these days of rapid communica-
ton, is patiently false. Besides,
the voters certainly knew Steven
son in Illinois where he became
Governor in 1948 by an overWhelm-
ing majority and had served as
the State Chief Executive for
nearly four years at the time of
his nomination for President.
The Republicans thought they
had a good candidate when they
picked General Eisenhower; the

Democrats thought they had a
good one in Governor Stevenson.
Beth were correct, but the truth
of the matter is the Republicans
gave their candidate the better
program on which to campaign,
and provided him with better ma
chinery to get that program over
to the people.
1 would say that General Eisen-
hover led the Republicans to vic
tory, and the Republicans are
mighty happy over the outcome
Their program, planning and STRAIT
egy were superior to that of the
Democrats and the General made
a better campaign than Governor
Stevenson. 1t was as simple aS

For 2-Year-0Id Bow
In Pennsylvania Town
By the Associated Press

AVELLA, Pa, Nov. 22.-A q
Iyear-old boy disappeared in a
wooded area of this Southwestern
Pennsylvania community of about
5000 today, setting off an in
tensive search by more than $50
volunteer firemen.
Mrs. George Bell said her only
son, George, jr., disappeared while
|playing with his dog about 2 pm.
(EST). The dog returned home.
Mrs. Bell said she feared her
son may have fallen into one of
the abandoned mine entrances
which honeycomb the area near
the family home.
Floodlights were pressed into
service to light shaft entrances.
Searchers marched through the
woods in shoulder to shoulder
|cordonS, shouting and beating
pieces of metal.
Constable Henry Lonick said
"the case has us stumped. We
Just don't know where the boy
could have gone. Maybe he fell
and is just hurt so badly he can't
hear the shouting"
Avella is about IS miles south
west of Pittsburgh and only a few
miles from the West Virginia
border.
