Lots of Voters Shoot in Cos, Too

of the Presidents golf score.
This was after he had played
18 holes in a cold rain at White
Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
Hitherto, there has been great
secrecy about the Presidents
golf score. 1t never was given
out. The President works at
his golf, and is bent on improv-
ing his game. The impression
has been that he never has got
his game to the point where it
satisfies him, and he wants to
keep his score a private, fam
lily affair.
He shot a SO at White Sui
phur Springs, which could not
be said to be the improvement
he is seeking.
But there are a lot more
voters who shoot SO than
shoot II.
Knowing that the President
is in that category gives the
vast rank and file of American
golfers a fellow feeling. And
another thing about his game
at White Sulphur Springs. He
got a par three on the last
hole. water hop-and that
is the understandable solace
that comes occasionally to all
buffers to make their day a
success. Also he got two rs, and
we can all understand a fell
low who does that.

Adlai Stevenson dropped his

Senator Estes Kefauver went

A comeback by Stevenson re-
mains the best hope of Demo-
cratic moderates for stopping
Kefauver. There is no lack
of conversation about other
alternatives in Washington

singularly lacking in substance.
The situation is very differ

Congress Is entirely unlike
ly to appreciate the State De-
partment'S request for a
blank check" on foreign aid
over a 10-year period. Even
those lawmakers most favor
able to the idea of continued
American largesse for our
existing allies and prospective
friends throughout the world
frown on the precedent-set-
ting proposal. They point out
that it takes only a little
imagination. to project the
principle Of blank check"
appropriations to the point
where the military and even
the old-line executive depart
ments will be asking for long
term financial assurances and
the Congress will find itself
relegated to the dimmest
background.
When Secretary of State
Dulles first suggested the plan
to a Senate committee, he
stressed the need to imple-
ment a strong and assured
foreign aid program as an in
dispensable weapon in the
cold war. He emphasized,
and his aides echoed him, that
only through a long-range
program could the United
States assure foreign nations
that aid would continue, thus
relieving them of the worry
that a subsequent Congress
would cut off funds, or reduce
them sharply.
There is, of course, con-
siderable logic in Mr.. Dulles
position. And if one is to &C
cept the value of foreign aid
in the battle against Com
munist imperialism, it APP

aid program on as permanent

anybody can talk golf in any
company without being re-

off. No longer is there any
thing undemocratic in talking
about golf, nothing wrong at
all, except it can become
boring.
It's all right, too, for poll

golf publicly, including Presi-

President Eisenhower gets a
lot of pleasure and relaxation
out of golf. Now, instead of be-
ing political liability, it has

golf an active, positive political
issue for the President-and

the Senate. 1t is a major rea-
son for his unpopularity with
his colleagues; he thinks it a
major reason why he gets
votes.
The Senator promises more
than he can deliver. Yet in his
emphasis on the consumer, the
individual farmer and minor
ity rights, he comes much
closer than the johnson lead
ership to those principles with
which Democrats won the
presidency five times.
So far this year the john
son-led Senate has passed a
natural gas bill which the Pres
ident vetoed with much ensu-
ing credit to the Republicans

If Kefauver continues to
NOV down Stevenson in the
primaries with the Kefauver
brand of campaigning-this is
still a big fit could be very
hard to persuade the national

Johnsonian moderate. Which

Political manners and issues
associated with them change
through the years.
You take golf-which you
probably do, and that is part
of the story.
Not so many years ago golf
was not a game for politician
to play.
1t was known then as "a rich
mans game" For who else, in
those times when everybody
but the rich worked six days
a week and slept most of Sun
day, could take time off and go
way out to some country club
and knock a little pill" about
the hills and dales? The
average voter picked up and
uttered disdainfully the de-
scription, pasture pool
which, if memory serves right,
was coined by the cartoonist
Tad"
The luxury touch was pro-
vided by those bulgy knicker-
bockers-plus fours they were
called-which was the official
costume, as it was the trade
mark, of the golf player.
There is the case Of one of
our Presidents. the last golf
player in the White House be-
for our present Chief Execu-
tive. That was Warren G.
Harding who liked to play
golf. But when he got into the
White House the newspapers
made much of his golf play
ing and the cartooniSts had
such sport with drawings of
him in Knockers that he be-
came very sensitive. Finally he
asked newspaper Offices please
not to send reporters to fol-
low him at the golf course and
not to record every time he
went to the golf course, which
was quite often. His wish was
granted and that gave us who
we're assigned to the White
House afternoons off, which
we had to spend. however, on
call in the White House press
room.
Then, three decades ago,
golf was indeed a class game.
President Harding did not
want to give any more ammu-
milton to Democrats who were
attacking his administration
on the ground that the rich
were in the saddle in Govern
ment.

self could hardly have made
that suggestion seriously. It
was, of course, supposed to be
a plausible and generous al
tentative to hand to Mr..
Nixon-anything for him but
the vice presidency.
The proponents of the idea
tried to persuade Mr.. Eisen-
hover to accept it, but he
found out the score in time
to avert damage to party unity
and said he would welcome
Mr.. Nixon as a running mate.
Mr.. Nixon's chances of be-
coming the presidential nomi-
nee of his party in 1860 are
best if he serves as Vice Presi-
dent for a second term. Not
only has he shown himself to
be a remarkable political cam

had to get acquainted with

the 1852 and 1854 campaigns

tunity to do the bulk of the
campaigning in 1856. if he is
again the second man on the
ticket, will give Mr.. Nixon a
political strength for 1860
which no other prominent Re-
publican has today. That's
what is really bothering his
opponents-among them per-
sons with similar ambitions.

New Workers. Refusal to Run as No. 2
Raises Questions on Stature of Office

prominent members of Con-
gress have in the past usually
been the nominees for Presi-
dent. Rarely does cabinet Of
f1cer get the presidential nomi-
nation.
When President Eisenhower
told his press conference a few
weeks ago that he had sug-
geSted to Vice President Nixon
that he should chart his own
course" it was significant that
most of the anti-Nixon folks
had already done the chart
ing and their chief concern was
how to chart him out Of the
possibility of ever becoming
President.
It was argued patronizingly,
for instance, that Mr.. Nixon
might wait till 1860 and then
run for the presidency. Mean
while, what would he be doing?
1t was suggested that he might
occupy a cabinet post. Yet it
was conveniently forgotten
that, if anything happened to
Mr.. Eisenhower during a
second term, the man who was
Vice President would then, of
course, become the logical
nominee for the presidency in
1960-not some cabinet Secre-
tary.
If, on the other hand, Mr..
Eisenhower served out his
second term, the person who
concurrently was Vice Pres
ident would have as good, if
not a better chance than any
body else for the presidential
nomination in 1860. That's
because a Vice President, under
Mr.. Eisenhower, has an ex-
traordinary opportunity for
four years to keep in the public
eye and to reveal his qualifica-
ton for higher Office.
Incidentally, it was men,
toned that Mr.. Nixon might
be made Secretary of Defense
in a second term if the present
incumbent wanted to give up

Many Lawmakers Are Far From Sold
On Long, Term Give Away Program

policy-mak and legislators
here are convinced of the value
of give-aways as a means of
making friends. There have
been entirely too many indi-
cations and too many unfor-
tunate facts to prove that the
purchase of friendships in the
world always succeeds to the
point where there are no more
handouts available, at which
point the friendships cease.
There is no assurance what
ever that the pouring of
American resources into the
maws of the poor and back
ward nations of the world will
ever do any more, in the long
run. than impoverish the
American people and even

This is an election year, and
whether for good or bad, the
eyes and ears of Senators and
Representatives are trained in
the direction of the ballot
boxes. Every single act of Con-
greSS this year will be pondered
long and carefully from the
standpoint of its effect on
public opinion and thus on
the voters. And there is a
healthy accumulation of good,
solid evidence that the Ameri-
can people are getting tired Of
playing forever the role Of

not, can be made of the whole
wretched business.
They suspect that such a
study would show precious
little measurable return for
the mountains of money, goods

years.
This year Congress has q

When Gov. Hartman, DEM
ocrat. said the other day that
he isn't interested in the vice
presidential nomination. it
meant that, if he can't win
first place on the ticket this
year, he would choose to re-
, main Governor of New York,
with the hope of running for
the presidency in 1860. That's
! a politically sound decision.
For, If he ran for Vice Presi-
dent this year and the ticket
lost. Mr.. Harriman's chances
the next time would be i'm
paired, whereas, if the ticket
won. the top man himself
would be entitled to the pres
idential denomination in 1860.
But there is an erroneous
impression prevalent today
that the vice presidency isn't
a worthwhile Office or that it
doesn't contain any political
future for its incumbent I'M
less he happens to become
President through the death

, If Mr.. Nixon continued in the
