Weather Map Vogories

AS a reader Of The Star
for many years, I find that
your prognostic weather map
contains much less informa-
ton for an "off the cuff" fore
cast than the analysis map
you used to publish.
In the latter, the highs and
lows were clearly marked. and,
knowing the basic circulation
around these systems, one
could easily predict winds.
temperatures. passage Of
fronts, etc. Not so with the
prognostic maps, which con-
tain Inconsistencies and uncer-
tainties introduced by q rou-
tine change Of forecasters.
Why not revert to the old
map? You did say you are
introducing the new map only
as a trial.

peace. He Is able. determined
and courageous. He can-And
does-get mad occasionally
but he does not hate anyone
personally. and II there Is any
one who hates him personally
he has not disclosed himself.
This is Q considerable contrast
to his two predecessors.
The Voters Want Him
Quite clearly, the voters will
re-elect him If they get the
chance. Quite clearly. they
do not want q change. Every
poll, every test bears this out.
Nobody really disputes 1t. The
great question. of course. still
is whether his health viii per-
NIT him to run again. As to
that, his doctors increasingly
reflect the conviction that his
recovery is such that there Is
no reason to feel that q second
term would be more than he
could stand. It is interesting
and significant that. as the
new year begins, more Of his
intimate friends and advisers
are increasingly confident that
he will be a candidate to sue
coed himself. The reasons for
this decision. they say, are 50
overwhelming that they refuse
to doubt 1t. Perhaps they are
right. OF course. no one can
be certain. but some Of our
most astute observers win be
deeply disappointed II 1t does
not work out that way.
OF course, If they turn out
to be wrong. the plight Of the
country is not too pleasant to
contemplate. Literally, there
will be no one in sight in either
party for whom there Is . ma
jority sentiment. On the Re-
publican side the logical noni-
nee would be Vice President
Nixon. but the most likely
choice would be Senator
Knowland Of California. Both
are good men, but for neither
is there anything resembling
a public demand. OF the two.
Mr.. Eisenhower would prefer
Mr.. Nixon, but there Is strong
opposition to him, despite his
excellent record. Further, it is
a recognized rule Of politics
that no popular political figure
can transfer his following.
Senator Knowland is q strong.
able man and has q Senate
record of Eisenhower support,
except in matters Of foreign
policy. But he too is bitterly
opposed and would lack united
party backing. There is one
other man-Gov. Herter Of
Massachusetts-for whom an
"in-case- Eisenhower does-not-
run" boom has been launched.
He is capable, experienced,
qualified and has a fine per-
sonality. But he is hardly q
national figure. And it would
take time and a good deal Of
effort to make him one. On
the Democratic side, II the
Presidents final decision is
not to run, undoubtedly the
Stevenson prospects Of becom-
ing President would brighten
more than any other. However.

beaten In 1852. certainly has

AS the year 1895 opens, In
which the American people
must elect a President and
Vice President. the situation
that confronts them is not only
unusual but practically unique
in the history Of the repub-
lie. Four years ago they
elected Gen. Eisenhower and
Senator Nixon by an over
wheiming popular and cleo
toral majority. Immediately
after the election there came
many exceedingly dire predic-
tons of what was ahead.
These came from the labor
bosses, all of whom had OPP
posed the Eisenhower-Ni Nixon
ticket. They came from the
spokesman Of the Americans
for Democratic Action. from
all the leading radicals and
left-wingers in the country,
from all the professional Dem
ocrats who had been in Office
for many years and could not
believe that anything except
calamity would follow q DEM
ocratic defeat. But none OF
these calamitous forecasts
turned out 10 be well based.
The bloody stalemate in Korea
was ended. There was no de-
preston. Instead there has en-
sued unprecedented prosperity
and the highest employment
in history.
Devoid Of Issues
In a very short time these
major administration indict-
ments were dropped because
there was no substance to them
and developments showed them
to be rather silly. Then there
followed a period in which the
political opponents of the ad-
ministration tried to find q
goat" in the cabinet. The first
attack was on Secretary Of
Defense Wilson, but that didn't
last long. 1t soon was recog-
nized that Mr.. Wilson was one
Of the ablest m en- In the
Government.
He had made one or two
slight slips of the tongue which
the labor demagogues seized
and distorted. but the country
as q whole disregarded. Then
a drive was made to pillory
Attorney General Brownell and
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son. but that also proved a
flop. At the m 10 m ent, the
Democrats are SO devoid OF
issues and complaints that they
are concentrating on the claim
that the President has turned
the country over to big busi-
ness" and that the Dixon
Yates contract was a scandal
lous and outrageous proposal.
1t is pretty generally ad-
mitted that these charges are
too thin to be taken seriously.
They are somewhat reminis-
cent Of the first, second and
third campaigns Of the late
William Jennings Bryan. Yet,
if any of the anti-Eisenhower
aspirants for the presidency
in either party has anything
more weighty in either the
domestic or foreign field upon
which to appeal he has not
made it clear. The plain
truth is that this President
is the most utterly sincere.
completely honest and truth
full man who has been in the
White House in a generation.
He is also the most dearly
beloved. There is nothing soft
about him and nothing weak.

Congress always has its en-
thusiastic members, and SO
years ago, there was one partic-
ularly popular with put-upon
wives. On January 4, 1906.
The Star, reporting his visit to
the White House, said: THE

orously and strenuously de-

Representative Adams of Penn

White House this morning. De-
spite an unkind impression to

recent feat, that Of introduce

ing for the punishment of the

is a bachelor, but he becomes
quite indignant when it is sug-
gested that this fact has any,

in the matter. Mr.. Adams says
he didn't talk about his whip

sentative merely called to pay

The new flag-rank officers,
selected from naval commands
from Taiwan to London, are

The new flag rankers are
