Both Parties Shutting Plans in Whot

The good news from Denver

recovering has Gained the un-

litical leaders IN both parties

pendent on what he can set

One thing IL certain. Once
in . primary, the aspiring
politician had better make
sure he wins. 1t may not help
him-but it win hurt him II
he loses. This u particularly
true Of Stevenson ut this point
for his standing has not been
tested by actual count for
three years.
The primaries are again
necessary to Senator Kefauver
because 20 few organization
politicians have taken his side.
His supporters are convinced
that he Ia a. popular with the
rank and file Of Democrats
as he proved to be in 1852.
Gov. Hartman has an out
when it comes TO the pri.
maries. He is still saying he
is for Stevenson and he can
hold back on this account.
There Is, Of course, the risk
that Stevenson might do sur
prisingly well.
Many Of his supporters be-
lieve he would. They would
not expect 1t to be easy. They
rather grinly suggest that he
would have to kiss every baby

DAVID LAWRENCE

It may sound paradoxical.
but there is some ground for
believing that President Eisen-
hover now may be more
readily persuaded to run for q
second term than he was be-
fore the heart attack came.
This theory was expounded
to the writer by q politician Of
rational standing who happens
to be o Democrat. It Is based
on the fact. which my in
formant knew about, that Mr..
Eisenhower has had one or
two experiences over the years
with what have been called
digestive disturbances Of more
than ordinary severity but
which are believed to have
made him feel uneasy about
accepting q second nomina-
ton. One Of these occurred
while Eisenhower was In mill
tary service. It gave him and
those, who knew about 1t con-
siderable concern. The medical
record says these were not
heart attacks. but they were
enough to make him . bit du-
bious about his future health.
The important point in the
theory is that Dwight Eisen-
hover has been worried over
accepting 0 second term with
out public knowledge about
his possible impairment. Few
men In robust health ct the
age Of "a talk about getting
old and how they might not be
able to accept . responsibility
In public life which might
carry them to the age Of 70.
Yet Eisenhower has made
several references to this
without ampliilcation.
with the knowledge that
winston Churchill went back
to the post Of Prime Minister
in his late 70s and that Ade-
nauer is functioning as Cham
cellor though 80. 1t Is hardly
plausible that Eisenhower. at
64, would have talked publicly
about his own health as . pos
sible barrier If he had not
been mindful Of his previous
experience with what he was
told were digestive illnesses.
With q secret like that on his
conscience, he naturally would
want the people to know about
it before they considered him
for o second term.
But now that the heart at
tack Of last week end has been
given the widest publicity. the
basic question is out Of Eisen-

Nationally and internation-
ally they govern BY demo-

debates within their ranks, but
when decisions are reached no
further dissensions are pos
sible. Their foreign and mill
tary policies are completely in
tegrated. Domestically the re-
gimes are not completely iden-
tical. Externally they are.
Whether, within this bloc, q
