to feed to livestock or poultry should
be examined for ergot.
The ergot contains poisonous proper
ties of varying potency. Acute Symp-
toms of ergotism in animals are lame
ness, which may become progressively
worse, and eventually result in
sloughing off of the hoofs, ears and
tails of cattle and the combs and wattles
of poultry. 1t doesn't take much to
cause trouble. One study conducted
with brood sows at Bozeman, for ex-
ample, showed that as low as one-tenth
of pound of ergot in 100 pounds of
barley resulted in the death of pigs
shortly after birth and the SOW failed
to produce any milk The ergotty grain

If you have ergotty grain (not over

advised to use it for animals you in

cows, ewes or sows if it can be avoided.
When it is fed, watch closely for symp-
toms mentioned above.
Ergot may be partially removed from
grain by running it over tanning mill.
This should certainly be done if you
intend to use ergotty grain for seed.

Pineau Chances Fade
In French Crisis
By the Associated Press

PARIS. Feb. 15.-Observers
today gave right-wing Socialist
Christian Pineau less than a So
so chance to form a new govern
ment as Frances political crisis
continued into its 18th day.
Although the Socialist Party
voted last night to support fully
Mr.. Pineau's efforts, the candi-
date for the premiership in
creased his own difficulties by
pledging to follow the methods
of former Premier Pierre
Mendes-France and outlining a
program similar to that followed
by him.
The wounds left by the Ma
tional Assembly's turbulent oust-
er of Mr.. Mendes-France IL days
ago have made it doubly diff
cult for President Rene Coty to
find a candidate suitable to the
Assembly.
The Socialist backing was not
expected to aid MIR. Pineau
greatly. The party has not par
ticipated in any government
since 1851 because of its ada
mant stand for a program it
could support fully. The right
and center factions in the as
sembly were believed unlikely
now to go along with a Socialist
candidate.
Mr.. Pineau, who failed in
previous attempt in 1852 to
form a government, took over
the task yesterday morning after
Antoine Pinay and Pierre Pfiim-
lin gave up.

Bio Eisenhower Boom for '56
G. 0. P. Rght-Wing Dssidents and Threatened Merger
Of AFL-CIO Make 'Droft Ike Move Republican Must

rolled in from Miami. Fla.
There, at long last the two
big wings of American organ
lied labor, AFL and CIO, ar
ranged to merge into one big
union. The way things stand
now that is not anything that
will help the Republican Party,
as such.
Organized labor has been
predominantly De m ocr a tic
since the beginning of the
Roosevelt era during which it
won its greatest gains, though
there's always been a staunch
and loyal Republican minority.
However, Mr.. Eisenhower had
a strong attraction for labor
long before he became iden-
titled as a Republican. You
may recall that some labor
leaders were among those &C
tive IN the abortive attempt
to draft the general as Demo-
cratic presidential candidate
to replace President Truman
in 1948. When he finally ran
for President in 1852, Mr.. Eli
senhower broke into the labor
vote and especially, according
to prediction polls and anal
yses, among women in fam
lilies of organized labor.
There's no other way to ex-
plain the large Eisenhower
vote.
But labor has become in
creasingly disillusioned with
his administration. To them it
bears the stamp of orthodox
COP, rather than the Eisen-
hover label. Yet, with all of
that, the President himself is
. the best reliance to hold
enough labor votes for the
Republicans to win in 1856.
Party strategists cognize
that and realize, though it's
not too complimentary to the
party, that the President
might be able to rise above
the party. as he did in 1852,
and become the personality
separate and apart from party
and politics.
Evening star., 1955-02-15

the Republican speakers were
saying the same thing-how
desirable the objectives were
but how poor were the meth
DDS Of carrying them out.
The Eisenhower adminstra-
ton, politically speaking. also
is making substantial progress
on the so-called patronage"
side. This has to do with the
ALLEGATION of jobs to faithful
Republicans who are supposed
to replace hanger-on Demo-
Gratis in various departments
of the Government. There Is
some evidence that the MUIR
murs of the party organization
folks in various States at last
are being needed.
1t does look as if the Presi-
dent has derived some valuable
experience from last autumn's
elections, because he seems to
be aware that organization
spirit and enthusiasm are
necessary, especially in the
smaller towns and communi-
ties which are normally Re-
publican but which didn't get
the vote out last fall.
On the whole, the Republi-
can Party seems to have sur
vived its Lincoln Day intro
spection rather well despite
the natural protests which
were made by those who feel
they must continue to apply
the brakes against any stam-
pede toward the "left."
The so-called right wing"
of course. is a powerful minor
ity but, as the administration
learns the facts of political life,
it will do the things which will
reduce that minority to a min
imum. And the best procedure
today toward winning a huge
majority in 1856 is to steer the
country away from war-by re-
jecting any policy of appease-
ment or peace at any price"
and exhibiting instead the kind
OF flrmness and resoluteness
which is so thoroughly Amer
lean that voters in both parties
cannot fail to give it their en-
thusiastic support.

extreme right-wingers at Chi
cago. Some orators, as they
wax toward their eloquent cli-
makes. find our Chief Executive
another Lincoln, no less.
A President has no protec-
ton against such. Other Pres
idents have had to abide the
effusions and comparisons with
past party landmarks. Such is
politics. But the Lincoln
Eisenhower motif is not &C
cidental. 1t represents careful
planning by shrewd party
strategists.
We are seeing the second
wave of the ike in '56" draft
movement for which the Lin
coin Birthday celebrations were
most handy. The first wave
broke over the land during that
depressing lull for the Repub-
lican Party after its defeat in
last November's congressional
elections. That made it plain
that it would take the Pres
ident again at the head of the
ticket in 1856 if the party we're
to have any hope of remaining
in power. So from here, from
yonder, from everywhere came
the demands that the Pres
ident run again.
This second wave which we
are now witnessing has it's
promptings also. They are
symbolized In events at widely
separated parts of our map,
and just as widely separated in
the philosophy that is back of
them--one from the left, the

capital city of the Republican
right wing which called at

But. while there Is a disaf-

Party. it may be said that
much of it is subsidlng. This
is due primarily to the states
rnanlike manner in which Pres
ident Eisenhower is steering
the country through one Of it's
most delicate experiences in in

Last autumn, for example,
the discomfort in the Repub-

satisfaction with the admin

of Red China and a feeling,
too, that there was a tendency
to persecute Communists
rather than to deal vigorously
with Communist infiltration.
Since that time the Presi-
dent, by his resolute policy in
Formosa, has won the conf
dence of many who previously
were worried about a possible
willingness in Washington to
go along with the idea Of ad-
mitting Red China TO the
United Nations. Now that the

'Copiors Find No Trace
OF Two Missing Flyers
BY The Associoted Press

DENVER, Feb. 15.-Two hell
copters which landed near the
wreckage of a United States Air
Force stratojet bomber in
Northern Saskatchewan yester-
day found no trace of two miss
ing flyers. 1t. Col. William L.
Gibson, commander of the 44th
Air Rescue Squadron, said last
night. .-....
However, he said the fuselage
was buried in mud and water
and necessary tools to cut open
the hulk will be flown to the
scene.
The bomber exploded Satur-
day while on an Arctic training
flight. Two crew members para :
chuted and were rescued. The
missing are Mai. Robert D.
Dowdy. 81, of San Diego, Calf. >,
and Capt. Thomas L. Pittman,
"a. of Fabens, Tex. A search
area 325 miles square surround
ing the Wreckage was designated
as the probable limit that a
parachute might have drifted.
Fourteen search planes combed
that area yesterday but found
no trace of the men. Tempera-
lures have dropped as low as
20 degrees below zero since the
crash.
The two rescued are 1t. Col.

So the new labor threat
and the merger should mean
greater political potency-de-
mands that the President run
again.
The other peal of thunder
that sent Republican leaders
scurrying again to the cover of
the Eisenhower umbrella was
from the right. 1t broke in
that all-day meeting at Chi
cago last week end Of the
ultraconservative party die
hards, McCarthyites and Mid
west isolationists where Gov.
Bracken Lee of Utah grabbed
the headlines by questioning
the Presidents Republicanism
and limiting at a right wing
split-off into a third party.
Anybody who knows Bracken
Lee and has listened to his
harangues knows that he car
ries little weight in the party
at large. But he is a persistent
gadfly prodding his fellow
mossbacks in the party, and
his third-party threat was
taken seriously enough here to
provoke retaliatory jabs from
leaders in the Eisenhower wing
of the party.
We are not a third party ma
ton. Republican leaders might
get some comfort by remem-
bering that, only as recently
as l948, Harry Truman won
reelection with not just one,
but two, splinter or third-party
movements. One was from
the left, that headed by Henry
Wallace which swung New York
against Mr.. Truman by split
ting the Democratic vote. The
other was a rightist movement,
the Southern Dixiecrat revolt,
which chipped away four
Southern States from President
Truman.
But all politicians, including
Republicans, run scared. They
want to take no chances.
Thus the Eisenhower boom
on Abe Lincoln's birthday.
