Four-Yeur Presidential Campaign

best slogan was. "You never
had it so good!"
Then there's the military
draft. The monthly calls now
are low. The Democrats may
cry. There is no peace!" but.
as long as the draft calls are
small and American boys aren't
fighting in foreign wars, the
peace issue" will help the Re-
publicans.
These elemental points take
hold throughout the period
between elections. Campaign
speeches with personal attacks
on President Eisenhower-and
intimations that the Demo-
cratic high command has
some inside information from
some higher place as to how
long the President is going to
live-are not likely to prove
effective. In 1852, President
Truman made an attack on
Gen. Eisenhower's integrity.
1t was part Of the "give 'em
hell" campaign which the
Democrats denounce if a Nc
Carthy becomes vehement,
but which they cheer with
enthusiasm when one of their
own number employs char
acter assassination. The voting
public resents personal slurs
against the nominees of either
party, and often such attacks
boomerang in favor Of the
man assailed.
Adlai Stevenson, for ex-
ample, said in his acceptance
speech that If he were elected
and anything happened to
him. "the people will have a
new President they can trust"
This was regarded by many
who heard it as slap at the
integrity and honesty of Vice
President Nixon. Letters re-
ceived here indicate it alien
ated a good many "independ-
ents" who had looked to Ste
venson to begin his campaign
on a higher plane.
While a minority Of the
voters may change their minds
as a result of printed speeches
and broadcasts during a cam
paign, the impression has
grown among practical politi-
clans that elections are really
decided by opinions formed
long before November. In fact,
political campaigns are never
over. Party warfare starts out
anew the day after a Presi.
dents Inauguration.

In addition, 1000 Junior Red

The gift boxes, valued at about
$4,000, are in addition to a ship

trade. But that threat is not
one of survival. Loss of the
canal would be a serious mate
rial loss to commerce and a
great inconvenience. But it
would not be disaster.
The entire course of the
London negotiations last week
underlined the dilemma in
which the West is ensnared.
The powerful mixture of re-
sentiment among the neutrals,
the newly independent former
colonial areas, a mixture of a
sense Of exploitation and of
oppressed nationalities, clearly
dominates the acts and the
thinking Of the Asian and
African leaders who speak for
their countrymen.
Their attitudes are neither
objective nor logical. based on
either past relations or pres
ent and future intentions of
the European powers. But lack
of logic and objectivity doesn't
alter the fact that the emo
tional resentment is deep and
real. And more hostility to the
West is automatically, it seems,
equal to more sympathy for
the, Communists. The Soviet
Union is well aware. of that
fact, and is doing everything
possible to put the friendly
feelings of the neutrals to good
Red advantage.
Perhaps the best, if not the
only, solution to the problem
of seizures of property, such
as Nasser's at Suez and that
of former Iranian Premier
MosSadegh at the Abadan re-
f1neries, is to keep the result
ant controversy on a strictly
economic basis. No sabre-rat-
ting, no feet movements, no
reinforced garrisons, but en-
phasis on the economic as
poets of the Matchmaking
actions.
The Mossadegh oil nation
alization turned out to be a
sorry experiment for Iran.
And Nasser may we'll find out
Evening star., 1956-08-30

One of the more disturb
ing factors In the current
crisis over the Egyptian seizure
Of the Suez Canal Co. is the
plain antagonism between Eu-
rope and Asia, East and West.
All the peoples Of the former
colonial areas are rallying to
the banner of Nasser. seeing
the French and British moves
in the canal controversy as
threats of a new colonialism.
The sharp hostility shown in
the Arab nations, in India and
Ceylon and Indonesia unfor-
tunately has racial overtones
as well as resentment at West
ern colonial tradition. Emo
tions are highly inflamed, to
the point where reason has to
take second place. This is a
potentially dangerous condi-
ton for the free world, and
by the same token a propa-
ganda bonanza for the minions
Of Moscow.
On the other side of the
coin, the British certainly do
seem to be talking and writing
about the Suez situation as if
the old days of empire had
not long since passed into his
tory. The dependence of Brit
ain on the Suez lifeline" is
grossly exaggerated to justify
the rightness of the use of
force to compel Nasser to back
down. But the lifeline" con-
cept today is a limited one
compared with what it was in
the period when India was a
British satrapy and Singapore
was the base for the huge
British Far East fleet.
If the price of regaining
Western control of the Suez
Canal is the further inflam-
nation of Arab hostility. and
the further build-up for Com
munist influence in the Mid
die East, then the price is too
high. Suez is, Of course. a vital
waterway, and its loss to the
West certainly does pose a
serious threat to Western

More than 43 out of the As
months of the campaign to
elect a President in November,
1856, have been completed
and, judging by scientific sur
veys in past campaigns, a pre-
ponderant number of citizens
already have made up their
minds how they are going to
vote.
Despite the hullabaloo of
the autumn months just be-
fore a presidential election,
the voters impressions are
based primarily on what they
have learned from everyday
news in the previous three
years or more.
Thus. the campaign Of 1856
for and against the reelection
of President Eisenhower really
began on January 20, 1858.
when he was inaugurated. The
Democrats have revealed their
strategy again and again.
Though some partisan moves
have been concealed by an
outwardly professed concern
for the public interest. there
has been q noticeable aware
ness of the political factor in
nearly every public question
debated in the last three-and-
a-half years.
While the Democrats, for in
stance, rallied against what
they deemed the improper use
of congressional Investigations
in 1853 and 1854. they
promptly turned around and
used the same tactics when
they got control of the COM
mittee chairmanships in 1855.
All through the 1856 session
of Congress, too, the Demo-
Gratis tried to make political
capital by criticizing almost
every action taken by the Ell
senhower administration. They
kept UP an almost continuous
attack on foreign policy. They
exaggerated every incident
surrounding the voluntary res
ignation Of q few officials as
implying q taint of alleged
corruption.
There was also q deliberate
effort to minimize the impor-
tance Of the Communist infll-
tration in the Democratic re-
gime as exposed by congress
sional committees.
These tactics were designed

SACRAMENTO. Calif..-Be-
tween Earl Warren and Dwight
D. Eisenh over, Senator
Thomas H. Kuchel's first bid
for a full six-year term is ex-
pected to succeed. Warren is
still a magic name here.
Kuchel, then State Control
Ter, was appointed by the then
Governor Warren to the Sen
ate seat vacated by Vice Presi-
dent Nixon in January, 1852.
Two years later he was elected
to f1ll out that term. Now the
breaks Of the game put him on
a ticket headed by another
phenomenal vote-getter.
Democrats concede that If
the election were held today
their fast-rising star, State
Senator Richard Richards Of
Los Angeles, probably could
not beat Kuchel. They assert
confidently that they will be
able to finance a real try by
Richards and that he will be
greatly helped by a hard-hit-
ting Stevenson-Kefauver cam
paign in the State.
They we're encouraged also
by the big vote their top
nominees brought out in the
June primary, which found
them fighting one another.
Admitting Eisenhower remains
vastly popular. they argue that
Nixon is so much disliked by
Democrats he will drive the
Democrats home this fall.
The same primary showed
Kuchel, who cross-filed with
about 100000 denomination
votes. He had only token Re-
publican opposition.
Richards, who did not cross
file, got a little more than a
million Democratic ballots. His

1t is not clear yet, however,

thing it takes a long while for
people to forget--and, that's

and conspicuous supporters are
many of the former officials

Alger Hiss hearings and trials
has by no means been re-

of Joseph Nunan, Collector of
Internal Revenue under the

that sink in long before a
political campaign is finally

The editorial researcher"
is a career girl who supposedly
knows all, sees all. and triple
checks all the facts involved
in the stories put to bed"
each week by large weekly
news magazines.
Women editorial researchers
also work for magazines, book
publishers, newspaper colum-
nists, and magazine. TV and
movie writers. They average
about SIS per week, and some
of the best-known researchers
in the business make much
more!
Mary Elizabeth Friend, for
instance. heads the staff of
five researchers who gather
background material, interview
business executives, run down
elusive figures and check facts
to be used each week by writer's

section. MARY Liz" as she is
known by fellow workers and
subjects for cover Stories"
too, has interviewed Robert r.
Young, Crawford Greenewalt
president of du Pont), Sophie
Gimbel, Charles E. Wilson,
movie magnate j. Arthur Rank
and was also the first woman
to set foot aboard the super
liner United StateS-all in the
line of duty.
The career of the editorial
researcher has come in for an
unprecedented share of atten-
ton in recent weeks, ever since

attempts to tell how hectic the

How Employer Chooses
When it comes to choosing
between one college major and
another, of course. much de-
ponds on which department in
one of the Time, Inc. maga=
zines has a vacancy, Miss
Peckham said. However, she
indicated that science and
math majors are hardest to
find, majors in history, politi-
cal science, or comparative
religion are twice as much in
demand as English majors.
Girls who have spent a Junior
year abroad and thus know
something about other peoples
and nations of the. world seem
to make a better impression
on this executive than those
who have labored hard and
long to earn a Phi. D in their
field.
Are languages necessary?
Evidently, the fine print in
the requirements indicates
that they are not, but when
Miss Peckham looked over her
list of researchers one by one
for us. she noted that most
of them do have conversational
ability in at least two Ian
guages.
Over at Newsweek. head re-
searcher Olga Barbi speaks
Italian. French and Portu-
guese, and she finds that her
linguistic ability comes in
handy many times on her job.
Too. she probably is more i'm
pressed with researcher appli-
cants who have a language
skill than those who don't.
Of course, tipping ability is
a husband shorthand skills
are very helpful. A broad ac-
quaintance with public affairs
and a steady diet of news
papers and magazines of opin-
ion will pay dividends when
you start job-hunting in this
career field.
In addition to the six grad
yates who are hired right out
of college for the Time, Inc,
research posts each year, there
are several other routes for
entry into this career field
