President Eisenhower's heart
attack was the landslide choice
of editors as the biggest news
story of 1855.
Never has there been such
unanimity Of opinion on the
years top story in the % years
the Nations top newsmen have
been voting in the annual Asso-
ciated Press poll. At years end,
reports and speculation Of the
Presidents condition still was
the biggest news. leaving TO be
answered the single question
that is sure to produce a momen-
tous story of 1856:
Can and will Mr.. Eisenhower
run for and win reelection?
It was early on the morning Of
September "a that the President,
visiting his mother-in-law near
the summer White House in
Denver, was stricken. His at
tack, shocked and grieved Ma
ton was told. was moderate"
one = somewhere between mild
and serious. After only one
slight setback. he rallied and i'm
proved under the care Of eminent
specialists, who said his superb
physical condition had saved
him.
Stays at Gettysburg
Seven weeks later. he returned
to Washington. thence to his
Gettysburg farm for recupera-
ton and a modified work sched-
ule on the job of the presidency,
described as the toughest on
earth.
Optimism rose as he stepped
up mis- work and appointment
schedule but within q month Of
his recuperation down on the
farm his doctors noted fatigue.
They warned him to take it
easier.
But as anxiety about his final
recovery lessened. anxiety con-
corning his political plans In
creased. His heartaehe became
q throbbing headache for the Re-
publican Party, which was far
from sure 1t could retain the
presidency next November with
out him.
AS almost q century ago, Get
tysburg became q magic dateline.
The world awaited its news.
salk story Is Second {
Here are the nine others among
the 10 best:
2. Salk polio vaccine. When DR..
Jonas Salk, brilliant young Pitts
burgh scientist, announced to the
world on April II that massed
tests the year before had proved
his new vaccine's abaility to pre-
vent up to 80 per cent of cases of
paralytic polio, there was great
joy and q rush to produce and
inject the magic serum.
But within two weeks, joy and
certainty Of a preventive of the
dread disease turned into doubt
and confusion. Scores Of children
developed paralytic symptoms
after taking Salk shots. The
Government suddenly halted ap-
proval OF all Salk vaccine. Vacci-
nations were stopped.
Investigation and more re-
search finally proved to most sci
entists' satisfaction that the Salk
vaccine was as generally effective
as first claimed. The great diff
Guilty. said pharmaceutical man
ufacturers. was that some early
patches manufactured last spring
contained live virus and so
caused the disease in children
first inoculated.
Tough Product to Make
As improved safe vaccine f.
nally was manufactured, a leader
in the pharmaceutical field ex-
planned:
I'VE never had a tougher prod
uct (Salk vaccine) to make.
That is, the line between making
a vaccine that is effective and
making one that is safe is very
thin. The manufacture of this
vaccine is the greatest problem

Propagondists Busy on Labor Day

labor leaders happened to
synchronize with q rather re-
markable statement by the
Social Action Department Of
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference. 1t denounced the
Taft-Hartley Act as o most
serious cause of alarm" and
as IAN excessively leealistic
acknowledgement relations
act which was destined to stir
up bad blood between unions
and employers and TO involve
them in wasteful litigation and
finally TO plunge them more
deeply than ever before into
a partisan struggle for po]it-
ical advantage"
Not o word was said IN the
same statement about the one
sided Wagner Labor Relations
Act which had caused Con-
gress to try in the Taft
Hartley law to correct the
injuStices that had stirred UP
bad blood between employers
and unions for many years.
It viii be recalled that the
same Social Action Depart
ment eight years ago lid the
unprecedented thing Of issu-
ing q public statement calling
on President Truman to veto
the Taft-Hartiey bill. At that
time 1t is known that various
members Of the Catholic bish-
ops group. under whose aus
rices the National Catholic
Welfare Conferences Is con-
Quoted, looked askaucc at this
rneddling In politics on con-
crete pieces Of legislation TN
related to the church itself.
Indeed, Pope Leo XIII, in his
famous pronouncement on
labor in the 1905, specifi-
cally admonished against such
use Of political pressure by the
church.

is not predominant. as is
proved when party is pitted
against party without benefit
Of the Eisenhower personality.
The second objective is at
the Denver end Of this school
project. The aim Of the visit
with the President is not only
for the lift and inspiration
that he seems always to i'm
part to party workers. but also
to identify the President with
the Republican Party by per-
sonally honoring these frank
and avowed practical and pro-
fessional Republican politi-
clans. The idea is that he may
enhance the esteem Of the
party by giving it his trade
mark.
How frankly Republican ma
tlonal leaders admit their di-.
lemma we learn from one OF
the formal press releases about
the school. It stated as one Of
the purposes the study Of ways
of broadening the voting base
of the G. o. p" as well as ex-
ploration of election techniques
more mechanical in nature.
In the latter. the State chair
men had the benefit Of coun-
sci with the official who con-
ducts the school, Robert Hum
phreys. former newspaperman
who IS campaign director for
the national committee, and
Murray Chotiner, manager for
Vice President Nixon in the
1852 campaign and also in his
successful campaign for the
Senate in 1850, who was des-
ignated an associate director
Of the school.
A factor in pushing Repub-
lican Party leaders a year
ahead Of the 1856 campaign
into this grass roots drive for
party support. which is what
enlistment Of the State chair
men means, is the early emer-
gence of former President
Harry S. Truman as a figure
in the 1856 battle.

others-the influence Of big
business and big finance in

Thus he Is striking the very
sensitive nerve which Is, it
self. responsible for the q. o. p.
counter campaign to persuade
rank-and-file voters Of the in
terest Of the party and the
administration in them.
The strident and abusive
criticism Of Mr. Truman by
the Republicans is indicative
of their belief in his effective
ness as a campaigner.
They know he is influential
with rank-and-file voters. That
is true for two reasons other
than the widespread belief
among rank-and-file voters
that the former President is
deeply concerned about their
welfare.
One is that he is seeking
nothing for himself-he has
had the highest honor that
the Nation could bestow and
he gave 1t up voluntarily.
The other is that he knows
government, and how it oper-
ates. and he knows the forces
that seek to influence govern
ment. and how they operate.
He knows this at both ends
from 10 years in Congress
and nearly eight years In the
White House, an experience
that no other living person has

Union Leaders Use Occasion to Attempt
To Stir Communist Type Class W0rfore
DAVID LAWRENCE
Once upon a time Labor Day

Once upon a time Labor Day
meant an opportunity to
slorify and rightly applaud the
achievements Of the American
workingman under a system
of freedom.
But nowadays it is used as
an occasion for giving vent to
the bitterness Of class war
fare. This must gladden. the
hearts of the Communists OF
today in their perennial effort
to capitalize on discord In the
American scene.
Hymns Of hate came from
the labor-union bosses over the
Labor Day holiday--hate with
all its violent phrases against
"big business" George Meany,
president of the AFL. for
example. vowed that his organ
ization was resolved Ito in
tensify the political activities
of labor and free the trade
union movement of shackles
forged by the political power
of big business.
Mr.. Meany said by "shackles"
he meant the Labor-Manage-
ment Relations Act of l947
(Taft-Hartley law) and what
he termed the right-to-work
laws passed by 10 States which,
he said. prohibit union secu-
rity contracts" The union
security to which he refers
would mean, of course, a union
monopoly Of all jobs and would
carry with it a loss of civil
rights to the worker.
Walter Reuther. head of the
CIO, also declared war on busi-
ness in America and used his
Labor Day statement for the
partisan political purpose of
attacking President Eisenhower
who, he said, has led q crusade
for ''big business.
Nowhere in any OF these
statements was there a single
word of praise for or even
mention of the constructive
part played by business man
agement in America without
whose creative genius and un-
renting efforts to expand
there would be no such high
employment in the United
States as prevails today. Mo-
where also was there any men,

smaller businesses which are
being forced to close or be
gobbled up by larger businesses

pay scales that can be paid

THOMAS [. STOKES

Since it is generally accepted
that President Eisenhower
will run again next year. the
chief G. o. P. 1856 dilemma
Is how to build up the Repub-
hcan Party itself enough With
the voters so that 1t might re-
capture Congress from the
Democrats.
We saw how far the party
Jagged behind the President
in the 1852 election when he
won by a landslide and the
party got Congress only by a
whisker. That lag still persists.
That has been demonstrated
fer us in recurrent Republic
can defeats since 1852 in reg
ular and special elections, in
cluding the 1854 election when
the party lost Congress, seven
Governors and many local
Offices. In those it was running
on its own without benefit of
the magic name-EisenhoNer
at the head Of the ticket.
The party's perplexing di-
lemma Is recognized. publicly
confessed and dramatized in a
novel spectacle we sre wit
Messing this week. This is what
is advertised as a "readin', j,
'ritin' and 'rithmetic" school
in practical politics being held
here for the as Republican
State chairmen which runs
through Friday. The chair
men then depart en- masse, by
chartered airplane, to sit at the
feet Of the headmaster, the
President himself, at Denver
next Saturday.
In this affair, which is under
the auspices Of the Republic
can National Committee and
It's chairman. Leonard w.
Hall. there are two chief OBJ
jectives.
One is to spark the State
organizations through their
leaders to try to convince the
voters at the grass roots that
the Republican Party is as
interested in the welfare of
rank-and-flle citizens as is the
Democratic Party. AS Of now
such a belief about the G. o. P.
Evening star., 1955-09-06

The Labor Day pronounce
ments emphasize the apparent
belief of the labor leaders that
only by more class warfare and
more discord and more strife
and more repression of the
constitutional right of the
citizen to work where he
pleases can the trade-union
movement achieve its goals.
Both the CIO and AFL lead
ers are outspoken in their de-
nunciation of communism and
they have had their troubles
with Communist infiltration,
but when the Soviet propa-
ganda writer's in Moscow read
the Labor Day statements of
American labor chiefs they
will find corroboration Of their
charges that the labor-union
movement here is not free but
is in the "shackles" Of govern
ment. Likewise In the attacks
on big business. the Soviet
script writer's will detect a ia
miliar note, for it is they who
constantly declare that class
war must be fought unceas-
ingly to break down capitalism.
There is no better way to
sabotage capitalism than to
provoke and sustain class war
fare in America. Debate on the
merits or dement's Of labor
legislation can surely be con-
Quoted without invective and
the bitterness Of class against
Glass;
Both the CIO and AFL
statements praise the coming
merger which viii certainly
give the labor union oligarchy
that rules the top unions vir-
tually complete control Of all
trade unions in America. Such
a merger is one the Depart
ment Of Justice isn't going to
be asked to look into as a "re-
straint of trade" though the
Democratic politicians on Cap
itol Hill are never silent when
there's a business merger an
nounced.
