Review Of The Year: Ike's Election Topped 50 News
ITO THE TRADITIONAL man on

ITO THE TRADITIONAL man on
Il Mars, the year that earthlings
know as 1852 might be regarded as
the start of the terrestrial Hydro
gen Age. Certainly if anything
that happened on earth was
spotted across the vast gulf of space,
a test last fall at Eniwetok lin
volving thermonuclear reactions"
was it. Otherwise, to the man on
Mars, the planet earth made its
course around the sun in the same
uneventful way it had made sew
eral thousand million earlier trips.
But in a less cosmic sense, 1852
was big year. 1t was, in a way,
a topsy-turvy sort of year, as COM
pared with earlier ones. 1t might
be characterized patty as a year
in which turbulent Europe and Asia
subsidized to a relatively slow SIM
mer, while normally stable Amer
lea dubbed merrily with a blood
less but nonetheless significant
political revolution.

The Presidency

A MERICANS had no difficulty
"A figuring out the most impor-
tant thing that Mapped to them in
1852. Suspensefully built up, dra-
matically climaxed, the political
race of the century was decided on
November 4 when 61.5 million per-
sons went to the polls. The turnout
set a record; so did the result.
Nearly "a million voted for Dwight
Eisenhower, more than q million
chose Adlai Stevenson. The winner
got more votes than any other VIC
tor in history; the loser more than
any other vanquished candidate.
But the significance of the 1852
election was not in the sheer num-
bers of it's result. It was in the
result itself. A 20-year dynasty,
begun by Franklin Delano Roosevelt
and carried on by Harry Truman,
was overturned. Political past per-
Torrance records went into the
waste basket.
And-as the year ended-pundits
were still trying to figure out
whether the November election was
a triumph for the Republican Party
or simply victory for the man the
Nation had come to know as Ike.

United Nations

The issue of the Korean War was
taken to the United Nations again
in october but the stalemate con-
tinued. The Russians asked the
U. N. to approve an immediate
cease-fire and negotiate later. They
also wanted repatriation of pris-
oners to be mandatory. We asked
for vote of confidence en- the
terms offered by U. N. representa-
tiveS at Panmunjom, namely, VOL
untary repatriation of POWs.
The General Assembly finally
approved an Indian compromise
which would have resulted in VOL
unteer repatriation. Only the Iron
Curtain countries in the U. N.
voted against it, of course, and
midas plan died when the Chinese
and North Korean Reds fell in line
with Russia.
Stalemate also was the keynote
in United Nations efforts to get
a peace treaty for Austria, to ad-
NIT additional countries as U. N.
members and to pick new Secre-
tary General after Trygve Lie
resigned.

Two Big Changes

The apparent equilibrium at
tanned by the free and Communist
worlds led to two significant
changes in the international pic
ture in 1852: First, the Communists
announced with great fanfare their
new foreign policy of let's you and
him fight" Second, European gov
ernmentS decided the outlook for
peace was bright enough so that
they could relax in their defense
buildup.
Stain himself unveiled the new
Soviet tactics in an article pub
lished in BolSheDik magazine in
October The new move was to be
a peace offensive" Stain made
it clear. But an outbreak of peace
between East and West, he assured
his faithful readers, would lead
inevitably to armed conflict be-
tween rival Western nations. Russia
would pick up the pieces. Russia's
role in the near future would be
to build strength through a five
year plan. Unspoken, but clearly
implied, was another role for for
eign Communists: To talk peace
while fomenting trouble between
capitalist nations.
The new effort to sweet-talk the
West into suicide may have had
some initial success during the year.
Western armed strength had been
approaching a level of minimum
effectiveness "a change in tactics
would not have been necessary II
the West had remained weak, so
many weary European leaders got
to thinking a chance had come to
relax a bit. They said they were
tired of 20 years of crises; their
domestic economies were stretched
to the breaking point; NATO had
80 divisions; Russia was not pre-
pairing to attack. Why not slow
down?
France and England announced
"Stretch-outs' in their rearmament
programs. Several countries eased

had lost twice for the Republicans
in 1914 and 1948-had said after
his second defeat that he would not
run again. And he was sticking to
his word.
Even as early as February it was
clear that Taft did not have an
open field on the G. o. P. side.
The Ohioan had the allegiance of
the Midwestern bloc sometimes re-
ferred to as "iSQlationist." But
the "internationalists of the East
were having none of Taft. They
had man of their own-or so they
hoped.
At first this man, Dwight Eisen-
hover, was strictly a candidate
in absentia. AS head of the NATO
forces in Europe and as a general
of the Army on active duty, he
refused to talk politics. His, pro-
moters-the chief among them at
that time being Henry Cabot Lodge
did his talking for him. They
coined a campaign slogan, 81 Like
Ike" It was short, ear-catching
and snappy. And what's more, it
had germ of truth III it: A great
many people did like Ike, without
really knowing much about the
generals views.

The World

THINGS were not lean and
l. hungry for the Western de-
mocracieS on the international
scene. For the first time since
World War II ended and the cold
war began, the free world could say
with assurance that it had not been
a losing year. 1t might not have
been a winning year. Only time
would tell if the tide definitely had
turned. But the free world was at
least holding it's own once again.
In terms Of people and territory
won and lost it was clearly a year
of stalemate. No longer could it
be said that millions of persons
were being lost to communism.

jected Taft's strong personal bid for
votes to choose full slate of con-
vention delegates for Eisenhower,
who was still in Europe and had
not even declared for the presi-
dency. Democrats, meanwhile,
responded to Kefauver's folksy plea
and gave him a full slate of dele
gates despite the State machines

cided to seek the presidency with a
view to doing inside the party
framework in 1852 what Strom
Thurmond had failed to do outside
the party in 1913: Bring the States
rights brand of common sense into
the Democratic platform.
. Minnesota voters in large num-
bers engaged in write-in campaign
which convinced Gen. Eisenhower
that the people wanted him.
. President Truman read him

explaining that he had given seven
years of his life to the White House
and did not feel duty-bound to
make 1t II.
. Gen. Eisenhower applied for re-
lief from active duty and made it
clear that he would go into the
presidential arena.

Chicago chose Ike over Taft on the
first ballot, with Richard Nixon of
California in second spot.
The Democrats selected Adlai
Stevenson of Illinois and John

The BuiIdup

The normal niceties Of political
behavior require that men who
would like to become President wait
to be asked-one way or another.
Usually it is springtime before any
serious asking-or accepting-is
done.
But this year the boys were
getting their ducks in a row early.
President Truman, needed inces-
sanity about his plans for 1852, had
persisted in holding his peace.
Democrats with presidential ambi-
tons fidgeted.
All except Estes Kefauver, the
lanky, long-nosed Tennessean who
had been so active the year before
as a televised crime prober. Late in
January, Kefauver took the calcu-
lated risk of his life. At New
York press conference he an
nounced that he was a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
President. He had a platform of
sorts that seemed to add up to civic
virtue. And he had his name en-
tered in the New Hampshire prefer
entail primary, a significant race
because it was to be the first of
many pollings of public sentiment
prior to the political conventions.
Trumon on Eyewosh
President Truman, outdoing his
normally pithy self, pooh-poohed
the New Hampshire primary and
(by indirection) Kefauver's candi-
dacy. He observed that such pri-
maries are eyewash and said he
would have his name withdrawn
from the New Hampshire race.
Later on he changed his mind and
left his name on the ticket-to his
ultimate embarrassment.
Meanwhile, on the other side of
the political fence, the battle lines
were being drawn. Senator Robert
A. Taft of Ohio already had de-
cided to make his fourth-and GER
tainly his final-stab at getting the
Republican nomination. His cam
paign was off to a real, if unos-
tentatious, start even before the
year began. BY the time Kefauver
announced, the Taft campaign was
by far the best organized in either
party.
Gov. Dewey of New York, who

have to be exchanged whether they
liked it or not.
A series of recesses in the talks
were announced by the U. N.
spokesman. There has been one
long recess since october 7.
1855 More Dead
The fighting front-with minor
exceptions-showed the same stale
mate. But casualties continued.
When the year opened, 1884
Americans had lost their lives in
Korea. Total casualties, dead,
wounded, prisoners, missing, had
reached 104,084. AS of nine days
ago, the list of dead had been
increased by 4,685 and the list of
total casualties by 22,506.
Frequently in 1852 it seemed that
there was as much fighting in the
prisoner of-war compounds as at
the front. The first big riot came
in February when an attempted
breakout on Koje Island resulted
in IS deaths. The Red prisoners
were far from discouraged. In May
they captured one American gen.
eral and held him until another
promised naively to stop "mistreat-
ing" POWs. The lawlesS compounds
were cleaned out in June, but riots
broke out internationally the rest
of the year-the latest coming less
than two weeks ago.

eyes of the free world were on
Korea. Negotiators at Panmunjom
had agreed on a truce line across
the peninsula, and they had ex-
changed lists of prisoners of war.
Despite past disappointments over
Red stalling tactics, some progress
seemed to be discernible.
There remained two important
issues to be thrashed out in 1852:
Repatriation of prisoners and en-
forcement of the truce. AS late as
May there seemed to be new and
genuine hope for truce. The Reds
asked for secret sessions. Agree
ment was quickly reached on en-
forcement-Russia would be left
off the inspection team, and we
would not protest construction of
airfields in North Korea.
End Of Progress
That, however, marked the end
of progress in 1852. The only re-
manning issue on the agenda was
repatriation of prisoners, but nei-
ther side would bulge an inch. We
said we would exchange prisoners
in any handy way, under the super
vision of neutrals If necessary, but
we would not force anti-Communist
prisoners to walk back through the
Iron Curtain against their will.
The Reds said all prisoners would

Sub Fleet was ahead at the
half mile, and was clocked in
1:13A for six furlongs. The

the mile, but beginning to fade
under pressure from One Count
