PoI|ster Scouts Popular Beliefs
On Reasons Eisenhower Won

A social science researcher who
polled 1000 voters in SO States
before and after the 1852 elec-
tiongtook issue yesterday with
widely held explanations for
President Eisenhower's victory.
The pollster, DR.. Angus Camp
bell of the University of Mich
igan's Institute of Social Re-
search, addressed a press con-
ference in the American Psyche
logical Association office at 1898
Sixteenth street NV.
His arguments included the
following:
l. Contrary to the belief of
some political observers, Eisen-
hover was not swept into office
by a great shift among women
voters, new voters or any other
single group of the population"
2. There is no information in
our data to show Eisenhower
had any particular glamour for
women voters"
Korea Not Big Factor.
3. Gen. Eisenhower's promise
to go to Korea was not a major
election factor.
4. The Republicans "time for

a change" slogan "was not
enough to elect any candidate"
S. Farmers did not vote Re-
publican because of dissatisfac-
ton with issues at home. "The
farm groups switch was be-
cause of dissatisfaction with the
Korean situation specifically and
with the cold war situation gen.
erally."' . a
DR.. Campbell formerly was
with the Agriculture Department
here.
Cites World Affairs
The researcher said aGen.
Eisenhower rode into Office on
a wave of worry over interna-
tional affairs.
Domestic issues, particularly
Government corruption and high
taxes, also switched voters from
the Democratic slate to the Re-
publican side, he said.
While denying the Republican
candidate had glamour appeal to
women, DR.. Campbell said the
generally favorable reaction to
Eiseflhower's personality of all
the groups that voted for him
is unmiStakable"
DR.. Campbell said college
graduates voted Republican
about 8 to /. This always
startles my college professor
friends" he said.
DR.. Campbell's poll, which he
said cost 5000, was aided by
a grant from the Carnegie Corp.

Bipartisan Harmony
On Foreign Policy Is
Not Entirely Smooth
By Robert K. Welsh


Severe wrinkles showed today
on the "new look" bipartisan
foreign policy.
They came to the surface in
Congress as a result Of a dispute
between House Republican and
Democratic leaders and a sug-
gestion in the Senate that Pres
ident Eisenhower call in former
Secretary Of State Acheson for
consultation"
Those developments occurred
yesterday. almost before the Sen
ate chamber had ceased to echo
bipartisan harmony there last
Wednesday.
Senator johnson Of Texas, the
Democratic leader, had voiced
his party's readiness to Coop
crate in efforts for a genuine BIZ
partisan foreign policy. Presi-
dent Eisenhower earlier told
news conference he champions
and carries out such a policy.
Lehman Challenges.
Senator Lehman, Democrat, of
New York, touched of a Senate
reaction late yesterday by de-
claring:
Il cannot accept the state
ment of the President of the
United States that our present
policy is bipartisan and that
there has been adequate con-
Sultation in the framing and eff
fectuation of our foreign policy.
"The fact is that the bi-par-
tisan structure erected by Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and maintained
by Harry S. Truman has been
wrecked and Scuttled I
would like to suggest to Presi-
dent Eisenhower that if he truly
wishes to reknit the fabric of BIZ
partiSanShip in our foreign
policy. that he call in for con-
sultation-and for participation
If he is willing-Dean AcheSon,
whose craftsmanship and skill at
diplomacy cannot be challenged
or denied and who was one of
the great architects of free
world unity which must under
lie any successful approach to
the grave problems now con-
fronting us and the world"
Prompt G. o. P. Rebuttal.
Republican Senators Bridges,
New Hampshire and Saltonstall
of Massachusetts, promptly
callenged the New York Senator.
They did not mention Mr.. Ache
son by name, although Senator
SaltonStall remarked that some
times personalities are involved
that don't work well together
They contended that, except
in one or two instances, President
Roosevelt and President Truman
never called in Republicans be-
fore a specific foreign policy was
about to be put into effect.
Senator Lehman, while denying
this, countered by charging:
There is no bi-partisanship
in merely advising a few key
Democrats slightly beforehand
on what the Eisenhower admin
istration has already decided to
do. That is merely a courtesy,
not an involvement"
The Senate wrangle, sand
wiched into debate on an ap-
preparation bill, was briefer and
seemingly less bitter than. the
earlier f1are-up in the House.
Republican Leader Halleck and
Democratic Leader Rayburn diff
fered widely on the degree Of
bipartisan cooperation prevail
ing on foreign policy.
Before the dust of debate set
tied. however, they made clear
that they stood together against
any claim that the Senate has
a monopoly on international
problems and on the question of
inter-party harmony on foreign
policy.

Pentagon Seeks Changes
In Military Court System
BY the Associated Press

The Defense Department, after
using the uniform Code of
Military Justice for three years,
wants to make some changes in
the serviceman's tribunal system.
The department is preparing
for the administration and
Congress a series of amendments
to the law, the unofficial Army
Mayfair Force Journal said
yesterday.
Among other proposals is one
to reduce the number of full
scale, multi-member courts mar
tial. A man against whom
charges were brought could
waive the present court of sew
eral members and ask for trial
before a single officer. That
officer would have to possess the
basic requirements for a military
law officer.
Another proposal would per-
NIT release to civilian status OF
servicemen who have served
sentences. but whose cases still
are pending for review.
