President Parties Attempt to Embroi Hin
With Dissenting Republican Senators


is the sole purpose Of political
leadership. as I see it. for the
good of the country. I can't
look to them for help. But we
have to remember that these
are State organizations. and
there is nothing that can do
to say so-and-so is a Repub-
lican and so-and-so is not a
Republican"
The next question was
whether the President, as Mr..
Hoffman said in his article,
was looking toward a con-
scientious Senator like Senator
Knowland to bring over to the
administrators side some
other Republican Senator's re-
ferred to as faint hopes" Mr..
Eisenhower answered with a
smile:
We'll, look, the more people
who agree with me, of course,
the wiser I think they are. And
SO I want as many Republic
cans as I can possibly get
going down the line with me,
because time is short. You
find out how short 1t is some
times when you are trying to
get these things done before
the close Of a session, and you
need all the help you can get;
and Fam never going to stop
trying"
This is craftsmanship in
politics. For the American
people resent the idea of a
rubber stamp" Congress.
Thus, when Senator Lehman
Of New York, Democrat, was
almost alone last year in vot-
ing against the resolution to
give the President the power
to use the armed forces to re-
sist attack on Formosa, he
wasn't read out of the Demo-
cratic Party by its leaders in
the Senate. But if he had
been a Republican. he would
have been pilloried as an ESQ
lationist" and as one who
wasn't following the party
line.
Mr.. Hoffman writes of "the
isolationist fortress Amer
lea halt of the Republican
Party" and says that in the
fall of 1850 "the isolationist
half of our leadership seemed
about to smother the modern
half of our party" But Mr..
Hoffman must have forgotten
or perhaps he didn't read what
was going on in Washington
when he was travelling abroad
so much those days as head
of the Economic Cooperation
Administration under Presi-
dent Truman.
The record shows that an

DAVID LAWRENCE

President Eisenhower seems
to understand the American
system of party politics better
than some of the dabblers in
it who profess sometimes to
speak for him, only to sharpen
the differences inside the Re
publican Party and unwit-
ingly stir up bad feeling.
The President handled tact
fully at his press conference
the other day an obvious at
tempt to embroil him with
members Of the Republican
Party who sometimes have not
agreed with his policies.
This is a maneuver the
Democrats have tried often in
the present campaign in the
hope of embittering a segment
Of Republican voters so that
they will stay at home on
election day. But it is a little
odd to see Paul G. Hoffman,
one of the Presidents closest
friends, putting himself into
a position where what he says
can be used in such a man.
euver in the middle of an cleo
tion battle that depends for
success on preserving the
maximum amount of harmony
in every State organization.
Mr.. Hoffman, writing in
Golfers" sought to describe
the President as feeling that
those who are not with me
are against me-" and implied
that Mr.. Eisenhower would
like to read certain Senators
out Of the Republican Party.
This is suggestive of the kind
Of purge" technique that
FDR tried on Walter George
of Georgia and that Harry
Truman tried with respect to
Democrats who didn't go along
with him in Congress. 1t never
worked. fhe people resented
1t at the polls.
When Mr.. Eisenhower was
asked about the magazine ar
ticle and whether he agreed
that certain Senators didn't
fit into the picture of a new
Republican Party, he an
Swered:
Nov, let's remember that
there are no national parties
in the United States. There
are AZ State parties. Then they
are the ones that determine
the people that belong to
those parties.
There is nothing 1 can do
to say that someone is not a
Republican. The most I can
say is that in many things
they do not agree with me.
Therefore, in looking for help
to get over a program, which

All phases of disaster care will

Among those who will attend

Miss Laura Williams, in charge OF

Mrs. Barn has announced that
Georgetown, called upon in the
past to shelter evacuees from hur-
ricane floods, has an exceptionally
NJ
natural disaster, which can be put
into full operation within minutes
of the need.
The disaster center is now
Grace Church Hall, and the Red
Cross telephone is also installed
there in addition to other tele-
phones.
Should the need arise, other
helters will be opened, but all
registrations will be carried out
at the center. Mrs. Barr empha-
sized the Importance of this regis
tration since it provides one sure
place where a record may be
found of every evacuee.
Mrs. Barr said that in this area,
the hurricane season is not con-
sidered over until October Is. She
explained that one of the worst
storms in this area in recent years
was on that date.
First word of an impending
storm, Mrs. Barr states, comes di-
rect to her from the Wilmington
Red Gross headquarters where Of
fetal warnings are given through
special channels.
Mrs. Barr said that usually af-
ter that, it is mostly up to the
Red Cross staff down here. The
key workers will be notified al
once and they in turn will com
municate with their staffs. The
local radio station. WJWL, will
then begin giving out information
as will the State Police.
DIR. Mulligan, according to Mrs
Barr, has worked out many of the
details for prompt and efficient
care at the church hall.
In addition to the Red Cross
workers, the county Civil Defense
staff will also stand by in case of
need.
Mrs. Barr said that the Red
Cross makes itself responsible for
food, clothing and shelter and for
long range rehabilitation in case
of natural disaster.
