Eisenhower's Request for Time

people will have had ample
opportunity to decide whether
in the interval Mr.. Eisenhower
has performed the full duties
Of his office in a satisfactory
manner.
Shipping Of a personal nature
is resented by the American
voter. Already the Democratic
Senator who charged a few
days ago that the Republicans
might try to keep Mr.. Eisen-
hover alive by the use Of
drugs" wishes he hadn't said
it. For that kind of thing can
boomerang
The Republicans were more
considerate In the case of
the late President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who. due to an at
tack of infantile paralysis.
couldn't walk without being
supported. All through his
career in public office. both as
Governor Of New York and as
President. he didn't have the
use of his legs. No issue was
made of it by the Republic
cans, for they knew the people
were interested only in what
President Roosevelt did or said,
and not in how much he
rested each day or in how
many visits he had to make
to the Warm Springs tGa.)
baths. The newspapers-even
his bitterest opponents-never
printed any pictures portray
ing his physical handicap to
the people.
AS for tightening the bur-
dens of the presidency. this
has been exaggerated. Execu-
tive power is already delegated
by Congress to cabinet off,
GERS. Another cabinet post or
two can be created to CO.
ordinate the so-called indie
pendent agencies and to do
other routine tasks that need
to be done. No constitutional
amendment is necessary.
But it will be said that
maybe Mr.. Eisenhower might
have q second attack which
could be fatal. That's why the
founding fathers In their wis
dom provided q constitutional
system whereby two men-a
President and q Vice President
are elected. This hazard is
one that faces any President,
irrespective Of his age or
health at the time Of his cleo
ton.

Declaration Found Uninspirinq

no question that Sir Anthony
wasted his time and President
Eisenhower was subjected to
unnecessary mental and phys
ical fatigue.
The conference was opened
with loud whispers that it
would establish in this troubled
and threatened world q new
solid American British front
dedicated to peace and at the
same time determined to meet
force with force. There Is no
reason to doubt the sincerity
Of our policy makers when
they professed to believe that
the results Of the parleys would
be in the nature Of q warning
to the Communist govern
ments Of the Soviet Union and
China that henceforth they
win find America and Britain
united In factual opposition to
their efforts to divide and con.
quer the world. This has not
been accomplished.
Whether more understand
ings were reached than appear
in the official communique
only the future will tell. II
such agreements were reached
it is a pity they have not been
widely broadcast.
The Washington declars-
tions as published give the un-
avoidable feeling of being only
regional and not dealing with
the vital subject Of the threat
to the free people by the Mos
COW and Peiping conspirators.
And 1t will be impossible to
erase the impression from the
rest Of the world that Messrs.
Eisenhower and Eden did not
tackle the source Of the pres
ent days evil.
The realistic thinking Euro
peans and Asians are not like
ly to swallow the story that
President Eisenhower and
Prime Minister Eden met UNI
der the present circumstances
only for the purpose Of reach
ing some mild decisions re-
garding the lAiddle East and
to enable three free Asiatic
countries to deal with Commu-
mist China. We must now en-.
pect a propaganda blast from
Moscow and Peiping to the
effect that the British refused
to buy" Secretary Dulles
policies of dealing from
strength.

Stevenson Appears in Top Form

Eisenhower administration. For
he feels absolutely that it is
using modern techniques to
''bamboozle" the American
people. Mr.. Stevenson does
not hesitate to stamp Presi-
dent Eisenhower's cooperation
in this as moral duplicity.
The demand he is making
for much more imaginative
thinking about problems of
growth at home; transition and
revolution abroad" is the real
keynote Of Mr.. Stevenson's
campaign. He can be expected
to attack repeatedly what he
thinks Of as the mere mer-
chandising Of stale ideas to
represent something wonderful
and new.
II the American people are
not in the mood to listen, 90
much the worse for him, Of
course. But that Is his own
mood.
It lends him q moral fervor,
q crusading spirit. conspicu-
ously absent in 1852. Then he
was on the defensive about
Korea. the income tax scan
dals and other Democratic
mistakes. He also had q re-
spect then for Eisenhower the
general that he does not have
for Eisenhower the President.
Mr.. Stevenson's toughnesS and
bite are not the same as Mr..
Truman's but he Is making q
good show.

the first qualification: humility.
But / am available"
Such remarks at an Oak
land box supper led the San
Francisco Chronicle to observe
that Mr.. Stevenson was still
interesting, witty and intel
lectual."
The one resemblance to the
1852 candidate that drives the
reporters and his own press
secretary to ulcers is that he
still polishes these gems by
hand UP to the moment Of
delivery. With a three-hour
time lag on the West Coast
added to other publishing
problems, reporters find 1t
sometimes impossible to get
1t all to their papers 50 that
others can enjoy it. too.
Mr.. Stevenson's stubborn
answer is that his first obi
cation is to give his best to
the audience which has come
to hear him. He Is sorry about
the difficulties. he says rather
stifiy.
In this, one catches sight
of the personal conservative
and, Of course. the writer who
values words. But 1t stems,
too, from his deeply felt in
dignation at what he thinks
Of as the "huckstering" Of the

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Still q Chance More Concrete Action
Moy Have Been Quietly Reached at Talk

Aside from the possibility
that something more construc-
tive than Is contained in the
official communique wa
quietly reached In the con-
ference by President Eisen-
hover and Prime Minister
Eden, the Washington decla-
ration is highly uninspiring.
1t is the same syrupy pap fed
to the public for 80 many
years.
The hoped-for strong state
ment that any peacebreaker,
great or small. will be con-
fronted by an indivisible
Anglo-American front did not
materialize. Some who had
a hand in drafting the COM
munique said q more concretely
worded utterance would have
been lnwise. considering pub
lie opinion in Britain and the
closeness Of the election cam
paign in the United States.
The Arabs and Israelis were
warned not to settle their dis
putes by force. but even this
warning was phrased so that
it leaves the implication that
whatever steps are taken viii
have to go through the United
Nations. And a Russian veto
foredooms any positive action.
Moscow surely would not per-
NIT a blockade Of its shipments
Of arms to any would-be bel
ligerent.
It became even more evident
this week that the Russians
are willing to sell weapons to
all parties. Reports reached
Washington that some Of the
satellites have offered arms to
Israel in exchange for large
quantities Of oranges. The
Russians have no particular
preference. They are willing
to supply arms to anybody.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Nobody-not even President
observation-disclosures positively
as yet whether he will be a
candidate for q second term.
Mr.. Eisenhower wants more
time In which to appraise the
whole situation, and his doc
tors feel he should have that
opportunity.
This, in a nutshell. is the au-
thoritative news of the mo-
ment about the plans of the
President.
None of the callers or adj
visers inside the Government
has any clue to the future, be-
cause the President himself
hasn't any.
The reason that Mr.. Eisen-
hover isn't closing the door to
q second term is that he
honestly doesn't know whether
he will be physically able to
serve, and he wants to take
all the time needed to make
that decision.
The first inkling of this
came at the January Is press
conference, when Mr.. Eisen-
hover said:
1--WE are not talking now
about a man who has been Ill
and who has had, let's say, a
fun year to decide what he can
do in the next four years. I
have been-I think yesterday
1t was four months since +
had this illness that started
all this type of questioning"
Now comes Maj. Gen. How
ard Snyder, the Presidents
own physician, to say that the
President should have "all the
time" he needs to decide about
q second term. and adds:
mo man who Is just four
and one-half months past a
heart attack is in a position
yet to determine his own
physical fitness"
This throws an interesting
light on the way Mr.. Essen
hover is approaching a deci-
sion and also explains why he
has not been able to give any
body an intimation of what
he will finally do.
The President didn't start
back on a full schedule till he
returned to Washington
around the FIRST Of the year.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-02-03

provided peripheric wars can
be started.
Insofar as the explosive Far
Eastern situation is concerned,
we have obtained from the
British the quiet promise that
they will not press for admis-
sion Of Communist China at
the next session Of the u. N.
But the price paid for that
promise was the undertaking
Of a review Of regulations on
trade with Red China for
Malaga. Ceylon and Indonesia.
The British insisted that the
economy Of those anti Com
munist states was suffering
seriously from the fact that
they were not allowed to sell
their rubber, tin and other
strategic SURPRISES to Peiping.
Sir Anthony is reported to
have argued that q relaxation
Of the existing trade restric-
tons in strategic materials
would actually help strengthen
the anti Communist Asiatic
republics. Our stand was that
by increasing the military
power Of the Chinese in Pei
ping the remaining free Asians
would be more likely to be
swallowed by the Communists.
This argument was apparently
Of no avail and President
Eisenhower felt that he could
not deny consideration of the
British Prime Minister'S de-
mands. He agreed to give a
more liberal Interpretation to
the Battle Act. which provides
that countries which trade
with the Communists in spe-
ciflc strategic materials will be
denied American economic
support.
II these are really the only
accomplishments Of the three
day conference. then there is

Decision on His Physical Condition
Logically Could Wait Until Moy or June

That's a period of only q few
weeks. During that interval he
has been testing himself. If
he finds that he can stand the
strain Of the job without feel
ing any i'll effects, he win
guess that he is able to do so
indefinitely. But, If he feels
the strain. he viii say so
frankly and not endeavor to
run again.
In the January Is press
conference. Mr.. Eisenhower
said he hopes he "will not
dilly-dally too long about it,
that is, in making a decision.
But, If his doctors tell him to
take longer. he will find it
necessary to comply. Mean
while, the President isn't in
terfering with the candidacy
of anybody else who wants to
go into the primaries to seek
the nomination or to carry on q
campaign otherwise.
So there's no logical reason
why Mfr. Eisenhower shouldn't
take a look at his physical
condition as late as April or
May and then make up his
mind whether he thinks he
could 60 through with a Sec
ond term II elected. Harold
StaSsen, one Of the Presidents
advisers, was quoted recently
as saying that the President
could wait almost till conven-
ton time and that the Re-
publican Party would wait till
then if there was q chance of
the Presidents saying yes"
The question naturally arises
as to whether q 'part-time
President" as one Democratic
Senator called it, would be a
handicap to the country. The
answer is that. II Mr.. Eisen-
hover feels he will be a part
time President" he will not
run. He has emphasized that
he will be thinking not Of
himself, but Of the duty he
owes to the presidency.
1t might also be asked
whether the Presidents health
will be a factor in the cam
paign if he accepts renomina-
ton. Looking ahead to election
day next November, more than
a year will have elapsed since
the heart attack in Septem-
Der. 1855. and the American

out Of the additional six months
active duty.
One official said he didn't Eek
pect any runaway response" if
the offer is carried out. Having
served 10 months, the man in
uniform probably will think a
long time before leaving when
he is so close to the end Of his
military obligation.
Allowed For Trouble
congress, in passing the re-
serve law last August, antici-
pated initial trouble In filling the
reserve forces. Therefore. a pro-
vision was included to allow
short-term discharges during the
first two years after passage.
After August. 1857. persons leav-
ing the service after two years
active duty will be required
actively to participate in the
reserves.
At present. those getting out
of the service have only the
obligation to enlist as reservists,
Participation is largely volun-
tary.
Defense Secretary Wilson told
a news conference Wednesday
that he and other officials were
considering early release OF
around 100000 soldiers by June
1867, and that this could mean
doubling the Army's GOODMAN
monthly draft calls.
The military services, particu-
larry the Army. always have In
sisted that "a months is about
as little time that a man car
learn to be Of use to them.

No Evidence Found
The committee letter. signed
by Counsel Frank s. Tavenner,
jr.. asserted that no evidence Of

hearings In New York last Au-
gust. It contended that charges
that one exists are "refuted by
the single fact that many Of the
witnesses in our hearings. de-
spite-and subsequent to--their
identification as Communists.

were continuing to ind employ
ment."
IF you have any probative
evidence Of q blacklist. this COM
mittee would welcome its pre-
sentation." Mr.. Tavenner wrote.
The committee observed that
networks. sponsors and agen-
cies have an uncontested right
to refuse employment "for what
ever reason" and their refusal,
in some cases. to hire Commu-
nists. derives from that right.
In his letter to Chairman

tees annual report which stated

release would be one means of
building up and strengthening

features become available

ing about the necessity Of a
