She answered in the slow
controlled voice she uses when
her emotions are most stirred.
"Of course, Arthur, I'll be
there"
Eisenhower's headquarters at
the Commodore was seething
when Clare arrived at exactly
2:59. She sent in her name
and Vandenberg came out to
greet her. He looked tired.
Clare thought that Ike, too,
would show signs Of strain,
but in his Office the pressures
seemed lifted. He greeted her
with warmth, and they chatted
for a while.

Clare had thrown herself
into the Eisenhower campaign
with a single-purpose, all-con-
Stunning drive. She had no
time to think Of herself. But
the day after victory she took
stock Of her position.
1t seemed highly probable
that the President-elect would
ask her to take some post in
the Government. She recalled
what he had said to her the
first time they talked politics
together, three years before.
Eisenhower was president Of
Columbia then, apparently de-
termined on disassociating
himself from politics. Presi-
dent Truman had scored his
surprise victory in the election
Of 1948. and the Republican
Party was groggily trying to
pull itself together. Thinking
realistically about the state of
the party. Clare reached a
conclusion to go to see Eisen-

Their talk was in his Office
of the rotunda of Columbia's
Law Library. He vas evasive
but Individually interested. She
gathered that the strong cur
rent Of his patriotism was be-
ginning to erode his determi-
nation to stay out of politics.
Just as she was leaving she
asked lightly, How many pol
iticians give you advice, gen.
eral?"
Grinning broadly, Eisen-
hover answered. Nobody can
come through that door with

Don't Take Advice"
