ference would affect their
thinly lined pockets.
All these factors are real

Secretary Dulles was so re-
luctant to go to London to
confer with the British and
French leaders. The dispatch
Of Deputy Undersecretary Of
State Robert Murphy was a
calculated move to indicate
the relative Importance we
were attaching at the begin
ming to the Suez Canal crisis.
But when London and Paris
pointed out forcefully to the
White House that this is the
time to show the world how
strong Western unity is, Presi-
dent Eisenhower instructed
Dulles to attend the London
parleys personally.
There is no question in the
minds of the members of the
National Security Council-the
highest advisory political body
of the Government--that If
the British and French take a
licking on the Suez Canal,
the Soviets' stock throughout
the world would rise to unprec-
edented heights.
There is a definite risk that
other Arab countries, encour-
aged by Egypt's example,
might deny through national
ization policies Oil on which
Europe, and to a lesser ex-
tent the United States, depend
so much. Such actions would
decrease the Vests defensive
potential toward the Commu-
mist aggression led by the
USSR and Red China.
Since the Chinese Commu-
nistS physically entered the Ko-
rean War, many Americans in
public life have been warning
the British and the French that
a supine policy or a show of
fear on a matter of right and
justice and in a military oper-
alton ordered by the U. N.
would bring about further dip

perhaps the strongest ticket
for the particular situation the

brings together two proven

antagonism to Senator Ke-

of some panty leaders that a

by Republicans. Best bets in
the Northern category are

THOMAS [. STOKES

Senator Estes Kefauver, the
Democrat, and Harold Stassen,
the Republican, are alike in
some respects.
Both are big men physically,
and solemn and serious fellows.
They are akin in their high
aims; their persistence in seek
ing their goals; their reach,
which is longer than their
grasp-such as for the White
House: their willingness to mix
it up with the powers that be
in their respective parties, and,
above all, their ability to spring
surprises at unexpected times
and set the country by the
ears.
Now they have done it again
and simultaneously.
Between them, they have
managed to rearrange the
picture in their parties, where
only two weeks ago the pros
pect apparently was for COM
plete serenity in the Repub-
lican Party and a cut-and-
dried national convention at
San Francisco beginning Au-
gust 20, and with the more
lively spectacle reserved for the
Democrats in Chicago at their
convention opening a week
earlier, August 10.
Because of Harold Stassen'S
campaign to toss Vice Presi-
dent Nixon off the 1856 Re-
publican ticket, which he
began July %, Republicans
today are stirred up into a
ferment. Party leaders have
been unable to kiss off the
Stassen adventure; to the con-
trary, it picked up real mo-
mentum with revelation by
President Eisenhower, him
self, at his first news
conference in eight weeks.

sen knows it, as does everyone
who read in the newspapers
this week that Senator Ke-
fauver had withdrawn from
the Democratic race in favor
of Adlai Stevenson, even
though a sizeable number of
delegates were committed to
the Kefauver banner. Dele
gates are not chosen by popu-
lar vote in many States, and
delegations are not bound by
the results Of the primary
elections, either.
1t is possible to deduce from
what Eisenhower said at his
press conference that he likes
Richard Nixon and would pre-
fer to see him run again. The
President said Nixon didn't
seem to detract" in 1852 from
the strength of the Republican
ticket. Eisenhower added: Il
can't believe that the United
States does not consider that
Nixon has made a splendid
record as Vice President in
these past four years."
This comes as near an ex-
preston of preference or in
dorsement as a President could
make in advance of action by
the convention itself. espe-
cially since in the same press
conference Eisenhower specif-
ically refused to answer a
direct question as to whether
he would be happy to have
Gov. Herter on the ticket with
him. The only name on which
Eisenhower did express him
self favorably was that of the
present Vice President.
But 1t is possible for the
anti-Nixon people-and Stas-
sen Immediately took advan-
tage of the opening-to con-
Strue the Presidents remarks
as falling short of a 100 per
cent Endorsement of and de-
mand for the denomination of
Nixon.
This means the fight will 60

more Republicans will be fight

more factional bitterness and
a good chance that, if the row
goes the limit and by some
mix-up in the signals from the
White House Nixon is not
named, the Republican Party
will face defeat at the polls.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Today the biggest political
fact confronting the Repub-
lican Party in its 1856 cam
paign is that, under the guise
of helping President Essen
hover. there is a faction
which is determined to force
a split in the party.
The move to "get Nixon"
and keep him from being re-
nominated for Vice President
is out in the open and Presi-
dent Eisenhower. himself, has
been caught in its meshes. For
no President can be in the
position of publicly debating
who shall be second man on
the ticket with him. Hence, a
dozen press conferences can
not put an end to the intra-
party conflict that Harold
Stassen has initiated.
Realizing this restriction,
which every President must
impose on himself just before
a convention that is to re-
nominate him, the anti-Nixon
faction has a free field to
make trouble for Eisenhower
and endanger his chances Of
reelection. For the next two
weeks, therefore, a member of
the Presidents own official
family ION leave of absence"
will be giving aid and comfort
to the Democrats by stimulat-
ing a disparaging campaign
about the Vice President in
the face of the fact that
Eisenhower, himself, speaks
highly of the same individual.
The Democrats, naturally, will
take advantage of the split
personality in the Republican
Party's leadership.
What Eisenhower said at his
press conference, of course,
follows the conventional and
customary line - he doesn't
demand" or request" that
Nixon or anyone else be nomi-
mated for Vice President. For
the President. himself, techni-
cally speaking, has not been
renominated yet. There must

WHY GROW OLD?
Music Aids
Physical
Ailments
BY JOSEPHINE BOWMAN

For some time now the value
of music in treating illness,
both physical and mental. has
been enthusiastically recog-
nized.
Music is soothing or relaxing
or stimulating to each one Of
us, depending on the type of
rhythm. In mental institu-
tons music is being used along
with drugs, shock therapy and
pSychotherapy. Psychiatrists
have found that with music
they often can reach patients
who had not responded to any
other medium. They were
awakened, made to remember
and thus to return to reality.
In our daily lives we too
often neglect music. Even
those who enjoy it may neglect
it because of rush. financial
stress or habit. Thus they
miss an important way to dust
off the heart, to stir up the
glands, to relax and refresh.
Works With Groups
The Musicians Emergency
Fund. with headquarters in
New York City. is doing WON
derful work along this line.
Fritz Kreisler is chairman Of
the board. The Musicians
Emergency Fund works with
hospitalized veterans. in chill
dren's wards, with older folks
and many other groups.
Last year 100 of M. E. F.'s
trained music therapists gave
individual or group sessions to
more than $4,000 patients. In
% private and public inStitu-
tons and at Is veterans hos
pitfalls. patients have overcome
helplessness with the aid Of
music along with other reha-
bilitation methods.
The way in which this or
ganization happened to begin
is interesting. In 1881 Nine.
Mero-Irion, who had been a
famous concert pianist for 20
years, was so moved by the
suicide of a well-known mu-
sician who was respondent
that she gave up her career,
determined to help those in her
profession who needed it.
She and four other women
founded the Musicians Emer-
gency Fund. The idea of this
organization was to find en-
ployment for needy musicians,
in emergency cases. 1t was a
great success.
Got Out of Hand
Some IA years later a wound
ed World War II veteran asked
for a saxophone in order to
speed the hours along. The
nurse got one for him. and
then other bed-ridden patients
wanted all kinds of musical in
strumentS. This got completely
out of hand.
This was when Nine. Nero
Irion and her associates Gre
ated the HoSpitalized Veterans
Service of the Musicians
Emergency Fund. They sup
piled hospitals with all the
musical instruments they could
get and physicians gave their
support to the project.
