resolved question being by what
margin.
Named by the presidential as
sistant as among those who
would be better vote-getters than
Mr.. Nixon were Mr.. Herter and
Mr.. Stassen, both of whom had
been mentioned earlier, plus
these five:
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.. Am
baSsador to the United Nations
and former Senator from Massa-
chusetts; William Knowland,
Senator from California and
minority leader in the Senate
of the Congress which just adj
journed; George M. Humphrey,
Secretary of the Treasury and
millionaire former industrialist
from Ohio; Arthur B. Langlie.
Governor of Washington and
keynote speaker of the forth
coming Republican convention,
and Sherman Adams, so-called
chief of staff" to the President
and former Governor of New
Hampshire.
Makes Three Points
Mr.. Stassen refused to array
these eight men in the order of
their popularity.
In the course of Mr.. StasSen's
questioning on the television pro-
gram, the former "boy wonder"
Governor of Minnesota dis
avowed, apparently irrevocably,
any intention to seek the No. l
or No. 2 spots on the Republican
ticket any time in the future.
Questioners pressed him specific
ally on plans for 1860 or later.
and got from him the fiat con-
cesSion that he would not be a
candidate ever.
Despite the effect of his an
nouncement for Gov. Herter on
the hitherto orderly prospect for
the G. o. p. Convention at San
Francisco, Mr.. Stassen rejected
the suggestion that he had
dropped a bombshell last Mon
day.
He repeated his charge that the
leadership of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, by embracing
Mr.. Nixon's candidacy, was at
tempting to foreclose an open"
convention in San Francisco.
Open conventions-even in the
vice presidential phase-are a
tradition among Republicans,
Mrs. Stassen commended.
Though Mr.. Stassen avoided
the semblance of an open break
with Republican National Chair
man Leonard Hall, he Stunned
as "beside the point" an answer
to this question:
ION September 10, 1855, in
Denver, 48 Republican State
chairmen, passed a unanimous
resolution calling Leonard Hall

the Nation"-Mr. Stassen pre-
dicted fatty that Gov. Herter's
name would be placed in nomi-
nation for the vice presidency,
despite the fact that the MaSsa-
chusetts Governor is committed
to make the speech nominating
Mr.. Nixon.
During the show, Mr.. Stassen
adopted the attitudes of two
famous characters in American
history.
Like John Paul Jones. he had
mot yet begun to fight" in his
effort to nominate Massachusetts,
Gov. Christian A. Herter in place
of Mr.. Nixon.
Like Gen. William Tecumseh
Sherman. he has put behind
him finally, irrevocably and for
ever. all ambition to become
President.
In renewing his pitch for Gov
Herter in place of Mr.. Nixon

subscribe to these sentiments?'
The presidential assistant, who
refused to acknowledge that he
was lin trouble" with the White
House for his pro- Herter boom
said he had no plans for resign
ing and did not expect to be
fired. Mr.. StaSsen said he had
not, at any time in the past
given the White House an I'M
dated letter of resignation flom
his present post of so-called
Secretary for Peace" He indi-
Gated again that he would not
have launched the Herter boom
had Mr.. Eisenhower asked him
not to.
Asked about the manifesto
signed Saturday by 100 of 202
Republican House members sup
porting the candidacy of Mr..
Nixon, Mr.. StasSen replied that
he believed the representatives
were not so closely in touch with
their constituencies as they
might be. He said a secret poll
would mean much more"
OF his second poll-announced
late last week-Mr. Stassen said
interviewers would be out on
the street throughout the Nation
starting today and that it would
take about a week" to complete.
He promised a questioner YER
batim copies of the questions to
be asked probably tomorrow. .
Mr.. StaSSen said yesterday he
feels certain Gov. Herter's name
will be placed in nomination be-
cause regardless Of everything
said about me in the past week,
the convention is now 'open.'"
Meanwhile, Chairman Paul M.
Butler of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee said on an
IABC-TV program yesterday that
many of the 1870 G. o. P. House
members were "pressured" into
signing the statement of support
for Mr.. Nixon. He did not elab-
crate.

By CROSBY S. MOVES

Defeatism, more universal
than in 1913 is the biggest prob
lem of the Democrats in this
election year.
How can they hope to win?
What can they suggest to
match the Republican slogan of
Peace and Prosperity" What
can they throw into the balance
to Offset the enormous popularity
of President Eisenhower?
AS they lay their plans for the
election campaign, some of the
answers to these questions are
becoming clear. And the more
they think about them, the more
persuaded the Democratic lead
erS become that the present des-
pair is unjustifled.
Five Victory Factors
Looking back to the last cleo
ton, five issues are spotted as
the major causes for the Repub-
lican victory.
1. Time for a change-After
20 years in power, it was clear
enough that a majority of people
were in favor of letting the other
side have a chance. There was
a feeling that the survival of a
two-party system of government
virtually depended on periodic
C h nges. of administration
There was bunch (even among
a number of good Democrats)
that a trick at the wheel might
do wonders in the way of in
sitting a sense of responsibility
in the Republican Party.
2. The Korean War-The con-
flict provided an emotional issue
in the country that no logical
arguments could dent. The un-
popularity of the war. the con-
fusion in the public mind Gre
ated by wrangling among high
ranking military men generated
strong political pressures. The
dirty war" was. exploited as a
potent weapon against the DEM
ocrats throughout the 1852 cam
paign.
Corruption an Issue
3. Corruption - Mink coats,
deep freezes and f1ve-percenters
undoubtedly played their part.
Just how many votes were
Swayed by the charge of corrup-
ton in the Truman administra-
ton is anybody'S guess. But
judging from the amount of talk
on the subject. the number must
have been considerable.
4. Local ISsues-Tidelands oil
and civil rights legislation were
burning questions in certain
parts of the country. And where
these questions were politically
decisive, the decision went
against the Democrats.
5. SOftness to COmmuniSm-In
1852 the shadow of Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican Of Wiscon-
sin, still lay darkly across the
land. Sober men might shake
their heads at talk about 40
years of treason" under the DEM
ocratic administration. At the
time, there were plenty of super
patriots on hand to take up the
cry and use it to political advan-
tage. When it came to the cold
war itself. there were plenty of
people who cherished the hope
that the Republicans might man
age things better.
Old Obstacles Gone
OF all these major issues, none,
say the Democrats, will be around
to haunt them in the coming
campaign. The G. o. P. has had
its chance, the Korean War is
washed up, Democratic hanky-
panky is too dead horse for

NATO Reduces
Defense Setup
Ry ne Associated Press

/ Western military leaders as
sembled here today to consider
how to maintain a defense line
across Europe with fewer mer
than they expected few
months ago would be available
To this secret meeting of the
North Atlantic Alliance Military
Committee came the service
chiefs of the IA nations which
have pledged forces to the al
lance.
Chief attention is focused on
1t. Gen. Hans Speidel, chief of
the armed forces division of
West Germany's Ministry of
Defense.
West Germ IAN Chancellor
Adenauer this week announced
a government shakeup which
saw Theodor Blank replaced by
Franz Josef Strauss as Minister
Iof Defense. Mr.. Blank was the
prime advocate of a citizens
army for West Germany, where
as Mr.. Strauss is known to favor
"a smaller armed force composed
mainly of professional soldiers.
Reports from Germany said
Mr.. Strauss advocates an armed
force Of about 100000 men by
the end of next year. That figure
is some 10000 short of the uni
formed manpower originally
planned to be made available
for NATO.
The United Kingdom and
France, with their continuing
military commitments in North
Africa and the Mediterranean
area. are also concerned over the
number of men they can spare
for western defenses.
AS for the United States. Sec
Rotary of Defense Wilson has
suggested the likelihood of a
military manpower reduction Of
from 100000 to 10000 next
year. He also has said this
country will make mo unilateral
decision" to withdraw combat
forces from Europe, but may re-
duce the number of service and
