AS a general during the war
and at NATO he learned how
to take advantage of his
new fexibility of contact and
action.
If it were suggested to him
that the technique was not al
together suited to the intensely
human art of politics-which is
not the art of command-he
would probably be genuinely
surprised.
Yet two of the Presidents
close personal and political
associates - House Majority
Leader Halleck and Gen.
Gruenther, NATO commander
were here last week and they
indicated clearly that the ad-
ministration and the country
were suffering from the present
vacuum of news. It would be
intensely interesting to know
if they tried to explain this to
the President.
Mr.. Halleck said the country
did not understand how good
the Presidents program is and
that this fact was underwriting
the party in a tough race" for
control Of Congress. Gen.
Gruenther warned that the
Communists were moving ahead
in the propaganda race for
mems minds.
Field reports suggest that
the election returns may oper-
ate to change the Presidents
mind and methods.

Stoy-ot- Home Voters Hold Key
The Party Thot Can Entice the Uninterested Voters
To the Polls Is More Likely to Win the Election
David Lawrence

The most important piece
Of political information today
which can have a decided in
fluence on the outcome Of the
congressional elections is re-
lated to the attitude Of the
stay-at-home voters.
This affects both parties.
Hence the political organiza-
ton which can get to the polls
the larger number of stay-at-
home voters with a prediction
toward that party can win the
election.
Scientific surveys made in
areas where voters were inter-
viewed both before and after
election substantiate the fact
that stay-at-home voters often
overbalance those who switch
from one party to the other.
Thus, field representatives
of the Bureau of Applied Re-
search of Columbia University
did a concentrated study on
Erie County, Ohio, with par
ticular reference to the hotly
con tested Willkie-Roosevelt
election in 1910. The findings
read in part as follows:
"Non-voting is a serious
problem in a democracy. It is
therefore worthwhile to look
at these non-voters somewhat
more closely. The great major
ity of them were deliberate
non-voters; in october during
the last interview before elec-
tion, 20 per cent intended to
vote and knew for whom they
would vote, seven per cent in
tended to vote but did not yet
know for whom, and 81 per
cent did not intend to vote. In
other words. two out of three
cases of non-voting were in
territorial and premeditated.
according to the voters own
statements. But even in the
other groups there were some
non-voters who resembled the
premeditated ones.
GAS a net result, three-quar-
ters of the non-voters stayed
away from the polls deliberate
ly because they were thorough
ly unconcerned with the elec-
ton .. only a small number of
people were kept from the polls
by a last-minute emergency"
The widespread fallacy that
many people switch from one
party to the other during a
campaign is dealt with on the

The popular reaction IN
Europe to the London agree
ment on the rearmament Of
Germany once again demon
strates in unmistakable terms
the weakness of "One World
ism" as an appeal to the loyal
ties of men.
There is nothing Of the
super state idea in the accord
finally reached on the restora-
ton of German sovereignty.
Rather there is a cooperative
alliance of mutually sovereign
nations, putting specific mill
tary forces in national uni
forms under the command OF
NATO. And the authority OF
the NATO command Is rigidly
limited to military matters.
it's overall policies and pur-
suits to be determined by the
participating powers acting in
concert.
The inherent weakness Of
the European Defense Com
munity plan was easily dis
cernible in it's implications Of
the super state philosophy.
Not only did this characteristic
insure its defeat at the hands
of the French National Assem-
bly,, but even had the French
approved EDO its practical
success was ruled out by the
British determination to re-
main aloof from active par
ticipation.
But the British are whole
heartedly behind the London
agreement, and their seeming
about-face is ascribable solely
to the pact's guarantee Of the
preservation of national SOW
ereignty unimpaired.

ENVE r .-W When White
House reporters heard Presi-
dent Eisenhower apologize to
a Casper, Wyo., audience for
spending "far too much time
in Washington" their jaws
dropped down to their type
writer's.
They have been here, ex-
cept for a few brief excursions,
for nigh on to seven weeks
and still have only a tentative
date-October 15-for return
ing to the Capital. Mrs. Eisen-
hover is ready to go home
she admits to getting a little
"stir crazy" here and in Au-
gusta-but the President pre-
fers the informality and pri-
vacy he enjoys away from 1900
Pennsylvania avenue.
No President in history has
spent as much of his time out
of Washington and with so
little apparent evidence that
the reins of Government re-
main strongly in his hands.
Emphasis must be on the
word apparent" What con-
tact reporters have with
the President consists almost
wholly of the few hours each
morning he and they spend
in separate offices-at Lowry
Field. They have been steadily
refused a press conference
even during the great events
in Europe with which he was
once so intimately associated.
So they have not had even a
glimpse into what he is read
ing and what are his thoughts
and judgments.

The Fiscal Gains of 20 Months
Treasury Secretary Says Economy Has Been Bostered
By BusinessIke Performance of This Administration

year, taxes have been cut by
STA billion-the largest dol
lar tax cut in the history of
the country. We have also put
into effect tax revision law
which not only removes hard
ships from millions of taxpay-
ers, but will help the economy
expand and so create more
and better jobs by removing
restraints to initiative and free
endeavor.
BY reductions in spending,
and also by better handling of
our too-huge national debt,
we have helped to check in
f1ation. Imitation had caused
cruel hardship to millions of
citizens as the value of their
savings dropped from 100
cents to So cents between
1889 and 1858. In marked
contrast, the fiscal program Of
the Eisenhower administra-
ton has been largely respon-
sible for the fact that the
value Of the dollar has
changed less than one-half Of
one cent in the past 20 months.
Such imitation producing
policies had to be reversed by
the Eisenhower administra-
ton so that a free economy
might once again progress
toward greater productivity,
higher standards of living, and
more and better jobs.
In many other ways the
Eisenhower administration has
reversed the trend toward a
Federal "super-state." Shack
ling Federal controls over
prices and wages were speed
lily removed. We started to

many enterprises which had
unnecessarily come under
Government control. We sold
the costly Inland Waterways
Corporation. We are liqui-
dating the RFC. We are SELL
ing the Governments syn
thetic rubber plants. We are
getting the military out Of
business activities which pri-
vate firms can do for less
cost. And these are only a
few specific instances Of the
many moves that are under
way.
AS a businessman now in
Government, I sincerely feel
that a start toward a business
like performance has been
made in 20 short months.
We haven't yet balanced the
budget. But we have come two
thirds of the way toward it,
which is a good start, and we
will keep continuously working
at it. We are moving a few
steps at a time and. by tax
reductions, getting money back
into the hands of the people
for them to spend for them
selves as they deem best
rather than having the Gov
ernment taxing and spending
it for them.
Our program of less Govern
ment and more freedom gives
confidence to American citi-
zens to again go ahead and to
create new and better things
for themselves.
We must have an America in
which 100 million people are
as free as possible to try to
better themselves, to try to
do a little more for their chill
dren than was done for them,
with incentive to invent new
things and better ways of
doing things, to produce new
products for better living and
more enjoyment of living.

verted by campaign propagan-

I'm summary. then, the peo-
pie who did most of the read
ing and listening not only read
and heard most of their own
partisan propaganda but were
the most resistant to con-
version because of their strong
predispositions. And the peo-
pie who were most open to
conversion-the ones the cam
paign managers most wanted
to reach - read and listened
least. Those inter-related facts
represent the bottleneck of
conversion"
Another scientific study
made by the Survey Research
Center of the University Of
Michigan analyzed the 1948
and 1852 presidential elections,
and found that in 1852, while
party allegiance was a strong
factor in the Democratic vote,
it was less important in the
Republican vote. Issues such as
Korea and corruption were
mentioned more frequently
than the personality of the
candidates. The survey says:
THE much lower reference
to traditional party allegiance
on the part of the Eisenhower
supporters in 1852 no doubt
derived in part from the fact
that a large proportion of Eli
senhower support came from
the people who had previously
been Democratic supporters or
non-voters."
What often confuses the
picture is the conspicuous fact
that Mr.. Stevenson, though
losing in 1852, actually polled
more votes than had been re-
ceived by either a Republican
or Democratic candidate in
any previous presidential elec-
ton, with the exception of
1886. But Mr.. Stevenson got
only 44.3 per cent of the whole
vote.

Rumors that Nationalist China

then the economy and to make
more and better jobs. We know
that we must continually have
more jobs for the good of all
citizens in our growing popula-
ton. And we must have them
to provide for the security of
our Nation.
Let's look at some of the
things which have been done
to help the economy grow
stronger and make more jobs
by correcting fiscal and eco
nomic errors which we found
when we came into the Gov
ernment 20 months ago.
We found a deficit for the
fiscal year 1853 of almost $9.5
billion. about which the new
administration could do little
at such a late date. And for
fiscal year 1854, the prior ad-
ministration had charted a
deficit of nearly $40 billion.
The Eisenhower administration
reduced the 1854 deficit to
SO billion and turned the trend
away from bigger and bigger
deficit financing by cutting
planned spending 81 billion in
that one year alone. We will
keep working every day, every
week, and every month to
make every possible saving
which is not detrimental to
the needs of our national Sc
curity or stability in the
economy.
BY getting Federal spend
ing under better control, we
have been able to cut down
on the intolerable burden Of
taxes which the American
people have borne for so
long. In the present calendar
