that members of the Press be in

Commander Barr based his re-
commentator on the fact tina,
newspapermen and women "rep-

Democratic Drive Beginning
Writer Sees Campaign to Regain White House Starting
When Nixon Bangs Govel Tomorrow for New Congress

The Democrats will open an
intensive campaign to regain
the White House at precisely
10 noon tomorrow. when Vice
President Nixon bangs his new
ivory gavel, the gift of India,
to call the 84th Congress to
order.
From that day until the
polls close on November s.
1866, Democratic strategy will
be directed toward separating
In the public mind President
Eisenhower, the popular mill
tary leader, from President
Eisenhower. the civil and po-
litical leader.
The former they will let
alone. They hope through re-
rnorseless analysis as issues
and occasions arise TO show
that the limitations Of the lat
ter disqualify him for q Sec
Ond term.
Their strategy implies that
they expect him to run again.
That is Just what they expect
From what they have seen
they think he cannot say no
to a draft.
For Democrats believe very
sincerely that Gen. Eisenhower
is the major and almost indeed
the only political asset of the
Republican Party. If they
were Republicans they would
arrange a forced draft them
selves.
For the same reason they
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-01-04

believe their strategy is purely
a matter 81 survival.
They see no way to avoid a
certain build-up OF the Presi-
dent by enacting most Of his
legislation. They would offer
1t II he didn't, They feel COM
PEELED to SHIFT their ground to
the proposition that no pro-
gram Is better than the peo-
pie who administer 1t.
There are very few impor-
tant dissents In the party
from the new strategy, only
arguments about how It should
be executed. Southern con-
servatives are among those
who feel most deeply that the
President has been handed
work for which he is not
suited. The Rayburn opinions
which accidentally were made
public at New Orleans
are q fair statement Of the
general view.
Only time will show whether
such strategy can be executed
according to plan and whether
the public will oblige by max
ing the requested distinction.
