In addition to the impressive
list Of Democratic election gains at

the Democratic Digest finds that
President Eisenhower has failed

in instances where the COP has
made strenuous efforts to transfer
his popularity to Republican can
didates.

American editors, who have
grown increasingly inssktent in
their calls for new policy decisions,
got a startling view Of the Pres
ident's apparent isolation from the
main stream Of events at their
annual spring convention in Wash
ington. Just before they were ad-
dressed by the President, the men,
bers of the American Society Of
Newspaper Editors registered their
opinion bp 2 to l vote that Amer
lea was losing the cold war. Then
they listened to the President CIV
ing a remarkably contrary opinion
Of the diplomatic progress which
has been made during his term"
The increasing criticism provoked
by the Eisenhower attitude prompt
ed the Democratic Digest to con-
clude that ait seemed clear at least
that the long period of special in
diligence for part-time Presidential
attention to foreign affairs had
come to an end"

The point has been reached where
at would be possible for a party
+ to lose a victory because it was
unable to get its viewpoint before
the voters" the Democratic pub
LEGATION asserts.
Republicans have already signed
up for So million worth Of TV time
this year." it adds. "These are
only their preliminary plans"
On the other hand, the Demo-
cratic National Committee notes it
has entered the campaign with a
bank balance of only 500, 900, mot
enough to purchase time and pro-
duce a half-hour program on a
major television network"
Chairman Paul M. Butler warns
that if the Democrats do not find
a way to solve their financial crisis,
we are faced by the very real dan
ger that the 1856 election will be
won not by the party with the best
issues but by the party with the
most money"
Republicans have consistently
outspent the Democrats since the
two parties began vying with each
other, according to the Democratic
Digest.
"They not only outspent the
Democrats in the Eisenhower
Stevenson contest in '62, but in
the Congressional election the same
year, the COP outspent Democrats
8 to l." the article adds.
an "a Republicans again poured
more money than Democrats into
the Congressional contest"
President Eisenhower's "deter-
mined optimism in the face Of
increasingly bleak world develop
ments" has become "the phenome-
non Of the season." the Democratic
Digest asserts in an article en-
titled, "The Part-Time President
vs.. the Full-Time PERIL"
After citing recent incidents
which have added fuel to the part
time President" issue, the Demo-
cratic publication declares:
What disturbs observers most
Of all is that the actual news Of
the continuing deterioration in the
Western position seems to make
little or no impression on the Ad-
ministration. The President ap-
parently views the situation with
as much satisfaction as Mr.. Dulles.

ferred the classical Ulysses to
the more commonplace Hiram,
and called himself H. Ulysses

pointment to West Point, the
congressman who entered his

that his first name was Ulysses

the name Of his mothers family,
which was Simpson. In spite Of
his objections, Grant never sue

War Against TB
Must Go On The
Records Reveal

Today, we hear some people say,
Tuberculosis Why that's all
licked - it's no problem anymore,
Look at how low the death rate
has dropped"
A brief glance at the record
shows how wrong these people are.
There are 10000 known cases of
tuberculosis in Cuyahoga county
today - as many as there were
ten years ago - and an additional
five to ten thousand unknown
cases.
Yes, we are saving lives-thanks
to new drugs and modern surgery.
Yet one effect of this is to change
TB from a "killer" to a "crippler".
Some diseases do not take life -
they just ruin it.
One way TO prevent the scrip
pling" effects of TB is to find the
disease early. Your Anti-Tubercu.
losls League Is meeting this chal-
lenge. You see the big, Christmas
Seal x-ray buses everywhere, find
ing the unknown sick and helping
them to get we'll.
The League helps, too, in pro-
grams which not only head the
patients tuberculosis but, also,
restore him to a fully useful life.
And, constantly, Christmas Seal
funds are being used to search for
a sure cure for TB and a preven-
tive which will protect all of US
from infection.
You can strike back against TB
now through your generous
contribution to the 1856 Christmas
Seal Sale, the Anti-Tuberculosis
Leagues annual campaign for
funds to combat a still treacher-
Gus enemy of mankind.
