White House Press Secretary James
Hagerty has categorically denied COL
umn by Drew Pearson which said that
the President suffered mild relapse on
last weeks Western campaign trip. Mr..
Pearson says that his story was carefully
checked" and that he believes it to be
true.
1t Is quite evident, however, that the
story, with respect to several significant
details, was incorrect. For example, Mr..
Pearson quoted the President as saying
to some unidentified person, Il can't take
any more of this-let'S get out of here"
Then the columniSt stated that the Eli
SenhoWer car sped out of the official
motorcade during the Minneapolis st.
Paul visit. This is not true. The Pearson
report also said that the President, after
returning to Washington, Cancelled plans
for motorcade in New York on Thurs
day But a motorcade was staged, as
thousands of people who saw it know.
And Mr.. Pearson himself retracted other
statements when shown news reels DEM
onStrating their falsity In these respects,
at least, the report was clearly in error.
According to Mr. Hagerty, it was Just as
erroneous in other respects So one may
draw his own conclusions as to the &C
curacy of the essential assertion that the
President suffered a setback.
But the matter of whether one be-
heves or does not believe the Pearson
report is relatively unimportant. The
important thing is that the state of
the Presidents health is an issue in
this campaign and there doubtless will
be recurrent reports and rumorS concern
ing it before the election is over. This,
1t seems to us, lends added Importance
to the physical checkup--announce
long ago-Which the President will un--
dergo this week end. The people, as Mr.
Eisenhower himself has said, are en-
titled to full information on this point.
1t is of the first importance that the
checkup be thorough and that the re-
port of the doctors be as specific and as
detailed as possible, and preferably made
public in written form.

Plan for ArIinqton

Arlington County is taking overdue
steps to remedy serious defect in it's
program for future development, namely,
It's lack of master plan of development
1t is hard for many persons to believe
that community as up to date in other
respects as Arlington has no authorita-
tive, comprehensive guide for expansion
of residential, business, park and other
areas. Nor is it easy for them to under
stand why the county until recently was
without a planning commission.
That the county has grown in as
orderly fashion as it has, despite the
handicap of inadequate overall plan
ming. is truly remarkable. But the patch
work system is beginning to show its
effects as further development proceeds.
Some wooded areas which could have
been set aside for recreational purposes
have been cut into subdivisions, old roads
have proved unable to handle traffic
trends and new public-service problems
are arising nearly every week because of
failure in the past TO make proper plans
for the future
The original Arlington Planning
Commission became political issue and
was abolished some years ago in favor
of new system under the County Board.
But civic groups have complained that
piecemeal, day-to-day planning was the
rule under this arrangement, instead of
well-conSidered, long-range planning of
a comprehensive nature. AS a result of
this agitation the County Board has re-
instituted the Planning Commission and
made other moves toward preparing a
master plan 1t is not too late for this
belated reform, although open spaces in
Arlington are few and far between.
Urbanization of the county will 60 on for
years to come, and it is essential that
effective guide lines should be available
TO insure orderly growth

It may be worth noting Just for the

Lennon, secretary to Representative
Adam Clayton Powell.
When Mr. Powell, prominent Negro
leader switched his political support to
President Eisenhower a group Of Harlem
politicians said he had been "pressured"
by the White House In connection with
his Secretary'S tax case The implication
WAS that deal had been made-that
Mr. Powell would support the President

A Reminder to Labor

President Eisenhower selected suit
able lesson for the day" in his brief talk
before the anniversary dinner of the
carpenters union. 1t was, in short, a
portrayal of labor's lot under the free
enterprise system of our own country as
contrasted with that in Marxist state.
The picture drawn should have made a
deep impression on labor audience.
For, as the President said, the very
existence of a strong and independent
labor union provides Giving proof that
Marx was wrong" in substituting the
"omnipotent state" for free labor and
free management. Even a Marxist, If
honest, would have trouble disputing Mr..
Eisenhowers assertion that free labor in
America, without recourse to class war
fare, has proSpered in every index of life.
And while the President emphasized
that this was not political exhorta-
tion," there was food for political thought
in his reminder that labor'S gains have
been achieved through voluntary asso-
citation and responsible action rather
than dependence upon "the pottage Of
state guarantees" There was, too.
touch of politics in his brief refutation
OF opposition charges that his has been
an administration dedicated to the inter-
ests Of big business. For this purpose,
he cited two statistical facts One was
that corporate profits, after taxes, have
averaged 6 per cent of national income
since l953-as compared with TT per
cent from 1916 to 1852. The second was
that labor's share in the national income
has risen steadily in these recent years
until it is now 10 per cent-its highest
point in the last two decades.
Much has been said in this campaign,
as in others, about how labor will vote.
Both parties have tried to influence this
vote as bloc. 1t has been demonstrated
before, however, that labor's rank and file
and labors leadership do not always walk
the same path to the polls. The Presi-
dents words to the carpenters could have
considerable meaning TO the individual
working man.

The entire group contains
America -Firsters, isolationists,

big centralized government and
wish a return of rights to the

communism and want it erad-

reversal of the trend toward
socialism which is seen in this
country today.
The members of the new
third party are earnest, almost
passionate in their demands.
They insist that the two old
major parties are as alike as
two peas in pod. They want
to give America back to the

which has given the new move

Without that issue, Andrews
and Werdel would be getting
nowhere in Virginia, and in
the other Southern States.
It's the issue that many South
erners today feel more pas
sionately about than any
other.
Andrews, Of course, asserts
there are other issues just
as important, in which he
himself is vitality interested,
particularly the need of cut
ting taxes and government ex-
penditures. A successful busi-
nessman, he was appointed by
President Eisenhower as Com
missioner of Internal Revenue,

up the mess the Truman ad-
ministration left in that
agency.

RIG HMOND, Va. - The
States Rights Constitution
Abolish the Federal Income
Tax ticket, headed by T. Cole
man Andrews Of Virginia for
President and Thomas H,
Werdel of California for Vice
President, may mean, and does
mean, little in large majority
of the States, but here in Vir-
ginia and in a number of
other Southern States it may
have important effects.
Only the most ardent opti-
mist today gives Andrews a
chance to carry a single State
or win a single presidential
electoral vote. If he is to sue
coed anywhere, however, it is
in Virginia, where he is en-
tered in a three-way race with
President Eisenhower and Ad-
lai Stevenson. the Republican
and Democratic candidates.
The important effect the
Andrews candidacy could have,
therefore, is not on his own
chances Of success. but on the
chances of Eisenhower and
Stevenson. If Andrews re-
ceives votes that would be cast
for Eisenhower if Andrews
were not entered, Stevenson
will benefit: and conversely, if
Andrews takes votes that
otherwise would go to Steven
son. Eisenhower gains.
AS a matter of fact, Andrews
here is looked upon as heavens
gift to Adlai Stevenson. With
out Andrews in the race,
Stevenson's chances of win
ming Virginia'S electoral votes
would be mighty slim, accord
ing to observers here. Virginia
provides perhaps the only real
example of important influence
which the Andrews Werdel
ticket may have on the coming
election.

The Andrews-Werdel ticket
is on the ballot in IS States.

the ballot carries the names of

elected, might vote for An

Jersey, New Mexico. North
Dakota! Wisconsin and Vir-
ginia. The Andrews campaign
managers say plans for "a
"write-in" vote for the States
rights ticket are under way in
a number of other States.
The Andrews party leaders
and their rank-and-file fol-
