The Political Mil
Republicans Appear
Confident of Future
Porty Leaders Discounting
Charges of Disinteerution
By Gould Lincoln

President Eisenhower and his adj
miniStration still constitute a going
concern, Notwithstanding the crepe
hangers. Indeed, the President has
recently taken two steps which demon
strate his leadership both in world af-
fairs and in the domestic affairs Of
the United States. They are his ad-
dress to the United Nations boldly
seeking to break the atomic deadlock,
to eliminate the cold war and substitute
peace. and second, his declaration that
dynamic and progressive program in
the interests of the American people
would be submitted soon to Congress.
He coupled with the latter declaration
comment that If the Republican
Party could not produce such a pro-
gram and Republican Congress sup
port it. the Republicans should not be
continued in power. The world. except
Soviet Russia and its satellites, have
acclaimed the Presidents proposal,
made in his address to the United
Nations. There has been hint, even,
that the Russians may ultimately come
around to it, once they understand
the proposal fully. The Republicans
in Congress have still to see the pro-
gram of domestic and foreign legisla-
ton, and to make their positions clear.
Criticism Discounted.
However, Republican leaders from
many parts of the country have come
to Washington this week end for the
winter dinner of the Gridiron Club.
at which Gen. Eisenhower, many of
the high officials of Government, in
cluding the cabinet, the Supreme Court
Governors of States and members of
Congress, will be guests. They discount
the claims made by the Democratic
opposition, that the G. o. P. is falling
apart at the seams, that the country
lacks leadership, that the Eisenhower
administration is manana affair, with
nothing done today that can be put
off until tomorrow. In fact, they take
an opposite view. They point to the
Presidents very definite leadership in
world affairs. They point to the man
ner in which the Washington mess"
has been and is being cleaned up, and
to the many economies already made.
Further, they say that the voters in
their districts and States still have
faith in the President and are willing
to give the Republican Congress a
chance to show what it can do in the
coming session.
From the Midwest-Kansas and
other States similarly located-the re-
ports are that the Republican Party is
in good shape; that the rumors Of
internal dissension have been grossly
exaggerated; that the prospects for
crops are good, and that the cattlemen
are breathing easier, and business con-
ditions and employment are good.
Translating all this into politics--the
situation for the Republicans in the
agricultural States is not bad The
leaders say it will improve in the COM
ing months.

Democrats Fearful.

The Democrats, however, are viewing
with alarm-Some of them are predict
ing recession or worse. A danger for
them lies in the possibility that they
may become ASSOCIATED in the minds
of the voters with a kind of longing for
depression, such a depression which
put them in control of the Government
back in 1888 The people as a whole
do not want a depression, for the sake
of any political party. The Democrats
also view with alarm the steps which
the Republicans are making to expose
Communist infiltration into Govern
ment, particularly during the Roosevelt
and Truman administrations. They
even go so far as to say that the in
vestigations conducted by the admin
iStration and by the congressional COM
mitteeS constitute a greater danger to
American than do communism and the
Reds. They roll "McCarthyisln" over
their tongues. At one moment they are
claiming that Gen. Eisenhower and his
administration have taken Mccarthy
ism to their bosoms. At the next mo-
ment they are pointing to what they
cali a desperate war between the Chief
Executive and the administration with
the Senator from Wisconsin. Their
danger here is that the more they fay
Mccarthy and the exposures Of Red in
filtration into Government, the more
likely they will find themselves in
position of condoning softness toward
the Reds and their fellow travellers.
Such softness and laXity is exactly what
the Republicans have charged against
them in the past, and made the charge
stick.
Soreness does exist among some Of
the Republican political leaders--be-
cause they have not been able to place
as many of their friends in Govern
ment jobs as they had hoped. The Re-
publican National Committee, which
handles much of the patronage is
under pressure all the time. Civil Serv-
ice laws and regulations keep thousands
of Government employees on the rolls.
New Deal-Fair Deal Democrats, too,
have declined in many cases to relin-
qulsh their jobs. when requested to do
so and make way for deserving" Re-
publicans. This soreness, the Repub-
lican leaders insist, is not likely to make
Republican voters either vote Demo-
cratic. or even stay away from the
polls in the 1854 election. The issues
in the campaign are still to be made,
many of them.

Association

the subjects for discussion at the
November meeting of the West

ISOLATION at Jamestown on No

ter from the Office of the Mont
gomery County. Council addressed
to various citizen groups urging
consideration of the real estate
tax problem in relation to alterna-
tive forms of taxation.

council would entertain recommen-
dations from the various citizens
groups as to ways and means of
dealing with the continuing prob
lem of real estate taxes and list
ed other forms of taxation that
had been suggested to the council

that committee consideration of the
proposal during November will lay
the groundwork for formal Asso-

Still Interested
But there were indications from

The proposed ordinance, which
would require each solicitor to be
fingerprinted, photographed and
to post a $500 bond before the
County issues a $40 annual license
is oppressive, probably illegal,
discriminatory and uninforcible,"
according to the statesmen.
AS if that's not enough grounds
to kill it, the pitchmen argued, the
proposal would not get at the
problem, wedding out the "unde-
sirable" door-to-door statesmen.
Support from the proposal was
expressed by David Scull, presi-
