Fenwick Sees Issues
In Governor Race as
Leadership VS.. Drift
BY the As,oeiossd Press

RICHMOND, April 8.-State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick of
Arlington opened his State cam
paign headquarters here yester-
day by telling q television audi
ence the issues of the campaign
for Governor ARE taking the
form Of leadership versus drift" I"
He compared his record and
his program with that Of "my
opponent" obviously former Rep
reSentative Thomas B. Stanley.
Mr.. Fenwick asked his audi
ence if it would choose a man
who has a long record Of work.
ing for the needs of the people
or one who simply wants
to be Governor"
He devoted more than half of
his 15-minute television appear
ance over a Richmond station
to his "Fenwick plan" to bring
industry to Virginia by expand
ing a subdivision of the Depart
ment Of Conservation and De-
velopment into "a division of
industrial development"
II regret my opponent feels
that the expenditure of a few
thousand dollars to increase the
industrial development services
of an existing State agency is
too great price to pay for
bringing millions of dollars OF
new money into Virginia." Mr.
FenWick said.

Says Eisenhower
Will Run Again in
1856 and Win
By Jack Bell
Asseeiotsd Pres. s,aff Wri..,

Senator Taft. Republican, Of
Ohio. predicted today that Presi-
dent Eisenhower will run again
in 1856 and be reelected.
Persistent. although unveri-
fed, reports have circulated in
Washington that Gen. Eisen-
hover wants only one term. He
told a news conference February
Is he had probably made as
many facetious remarks on the
subject as his friends could bear
and wasn't ready for a serious
declaration.
Senator Taft, the Senate ma
jority leader. said in an inter-
view he never had heard any
one-term suggestion from the
President or his intimates. Sena-
tor Taft said that in any event
he firmly believes Gen. Eisen-
hover will be convinced he ought
to seek a second term when the
time comes.
1T will be inevitable that the
pressure will build up on hun
from within the party" Senator
Taft said. when the party has
a man in the White House the
pressure always builds up to
keep him there.
when the time comes, the
President will be told that only
by running again can he prevent
a split in the party and make
sure Of its success at the polls"
Limited to Two Terms.
Gen. Eisenhower Is the first
President barred by constitu-
tional amendment from hold.
ing more than two terms.
Senator Taft's comment came
after he had agreed. evidently
somewhat reluctantly, to the
choice of former Representative
Leonard w. Hall of New York
as Republican national chair
mana selection expected to he
ratified by the national commit
tee here Friday.
It is an open secret among the
Ohio Senator's intimates that
Senator Taft would have pre-
ferred a chairman less closely
identified than Mr.. Hall is with
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York. the 1914 and 1948 G. o. P.
presidential nominee.
Wanted Eisenhower Man.
AS one of Senator Taft's
friends put it. the Ohioan re-
allied he couldn't have a Taft
man" as chairman, but wanted
an Eisenhower man" rather
than a Dewey man."
There is every evidence that
as they become better acquaint-
ed personally, Gen. Eisenhower
and Senator Taft are getting
along better than either even
expected to. Although Senator
Taft made some caustic remarks
about Gen. Eisenhower when
they were rivals for the 1852
G. o. P. nomination. there are
signs of q growing personal
friendship.
Senator Taft, who played golf
with the President last Satur-
day, disclosed he had been in
vited to join the President at
Augusta, Ga. for another round
the week end Of April 10 and
probably would accept.

New York investment banker
sal dthe shortages were due to
three things in his opinion:
/. Inadequate planning with
no steady goals.
2. The shift from brass to steel
castings before the manufacturing
method was fully perfected. He
added that the Army's estimate
that last years steel strike caused
81 per cent drop in munitions
production was an eXaggeration.
3. The Army's organization
structure is wholly inadequate to
provide efficient operation.
Wrote to Gen. Clark.
In November last year.
after having failed to get
satisfactory report from Army
headquarters here, Mr.. Lovett
said he wrote to Gen. Mark
Clark, the Far East commander.
asking for a report.
Gen. Clark replied as to short
ages of five categories of ammu-
milton. Then, Mr.. Lovett said
because l had gone out Of
channels and the military takes
a dim view of that procedure. I
wrote Gen. Clark a personal note
advising him that the Army
would now go all out in furnish
ing ammunition to the Far East"
It was not until September,
1851, that he had any inkling
that there were shortages in
Korea, the former secretary said.
He then detailed a number
of occasions on which he had
asked the Army for reports and
said he could never reconcile the
statements.

Taft Comedies G. Regime
Has Lot to4eurn About Job
But He Predicts
1t Will Be Popular
A Yeur From Now

Senator Taft thinks the new
Republican regime doesn't know
the first thing about running
the Government-yet.
The cure for the inexperience
Of President Eisenhower's ap-
pointeeS will be slow in coming,
the G. o. p. Senate leader pre-
dicted last night.
Some progress has been
made" Senator Taft said, but
it seems slow and will seem to be
slower in the future"
Without saying so in as many
words, "Mr. Republican" con-
ceded his party is not as popular
as he feels it should be. But he
added: "A year from now it will
be very popular-at least that
is my feeling"
Speaking at the annual ban
quet of Washington Alumni of
Yale University and an audience
including at least a dozen Federal
agency chiefs, the Ohioan let go
with verbal haymakers.
He brushed aside the poSsibil-
ity of a tax reduction as prac-
tically nil for "at least another
year, despite all the talk" Then
he described the Republicans as
a party Of governmental neo-
phytes.
"The Republicans have re-
turned to power after 20 years
in utter darkness" said Mr.. Taft.
member of Yale's class of 1910.
Il think we face an adminiStra-
ton different, perhaps, from any
in the world.
Men who have been eminently
successful in their own lives
have been chosen, but as far as
know they don't have a single
days experience running a Fed
eral Government-the biggest
institution the world has ever
seen.
1--WE cannot possibly put into
effect the program you would
like by the beginning Of the
fiscal year on July l."
Pointing to the complexities Of
government and world problems,
Senator Taft said:
If these men can understand
what is going on in their own
departments in six months, they
will be doing we'll"
Senator Taft drew parallel to
point up his party's present lack
of administrative veterans. He
likened the situation to one
where the board of Proctor and
Gamble, soap manufacturers, was
fired and replaced with big
wheels from International Tele-
phone and Telegraph.
"They are bright boys" the
senator asserted" but it will take
them little time to learn the
soap business"
Returning to the tax-cut de-
lay, Senator Taft laid the blame
on commitments already made
by the Democrats. These, he
said, make it impossible for a
tax reduction in the near fu-
ture.
"You hear a lot of talk about
tax reduction" he asserted.
"A tax cut is not the important
thing. The important thing is
the expenditure of money and
how far you can cut expenses. :"

is one in a series of such events
given in the Aztec Garden in
summer and in the winter in
the stately Halls of the Ameri-
cas-. The series was inaugurated
in 1924 during the regime of the
late DR.. Leo S. Rowe, who sue
ceeded the first director John
Barrett. DR.. Rowe served as
director general of the Pan
American Union from 1920 until
his untimely death in 1947.
The concerts were planned to
give to those in this Capital a
taste of the distinctive music Of
our neighborS in Latin America,
and present some of the better
music of the United States. The
programs are broadcast to the
Republics south of us and always
the soloiSt is native of one of
those nations.
Audiences for these concerts
have for many years been made
up of representatives of the
Latin American republics. Last
evening, however, those from
Europe, the Middle East and the
East predominated. Enjoying the
cool of the garden and the music
were 1ndonesian Ambassador and
Nine. Sastroamidjojo, Liberian
Ambassador Clarence Lorenzo
Simpson and Jordan Minister
and Nine. Haikel.
Senator Theodore Francis
Green was among those from

Senator and Mrs. Bill Full
bright checked back into town
from England day before yes

Ieve, says Betty, that she was
sleeping under two and some
times three blankets all the
time they were gone. 1t was
so cool during their three-week
stay that her wool suit and
light topcoat weren't enough.
She wished she'd taken a
heavier topcoat.
OF course, this is the kind
of news we will get from re-

TONERS from now on, but at
least the Fulbrights didn't

AS a matter of fact this is the
time of year she likes best in
Washington, says Mrs. F., be-
cause she can catch up on all
the things she didn't have time
for during the Capitals mad
paced season.
The Fulbrights spent a week
at Oxford, where the Senator
was scheduled to attend the
Rhodes Scholars reunion on
the goth, a week travelling
about the countryside and back
to Oxford again for a seminar
of American studies which Bill
was asked to open. A cable to
rush back for urgent Senate
business brought them home
