Stevenson Expected to Sit Tight in July
For Second Spot Discussions

July is the trial balloon
month IN Democratic politics.
Adlai Stevenson will post
pone any decision about Vice
President until he has the
needful majority of delegates
for the presidential nominal
ton safely counted in his COR
ner. Meanwhile. he is not

his aides are helping it along.
Their theory is that every
name tossed in the air brings
a reaction which will show
both its assets and liabilities.
A succession of leaks of this
kind can be expected.
Former President Harry S.
Truman is proving that he is
an old pro by not tipping his
hand
He did not admit that Sen
ator Estes Kefauver would not
be his choice until after it APP
peared that the Senator would
not be d serious contender at
Chicago. But despite the time
spent with Gov. Averell Har-
llman in New York and the
emergence of so many Tru-
man lieutenants on the Halri-
man staff, Truman has made
no promises to anyone.
The Stevenson camp felt
better after it had established
this as a fact, For While they

front, they have a lively sense
OF the nuisance value of a
big State like New York when
the actual balloting starts.
Stevenson's attitude toward
the Hartman candidacy sin
cerelv is that it is more a
nuisance than a real threat
His strategists have toyed with
schemes designed to show the
New York Governor that. left
to their own devices, the New
York delegates would vote
gladly for Adlai.
1t does not appear, how
ever. that anything short of a
roll call at Chicago will con-
vince Hartman. He is Presi-
ident Eisenhower's age: it is
now or never for his pres!-
dental aspirations. He has the
personal fortune to enable him
TO make the effort, and it is
being spent on the largest staff
any candidate will take to
Chicago.
Another problem which
bothers Stevenson at the mo-
ment is defeatism among the
Democrats.
From his point of view, far
too many of them and the
Democratic controlled Con-
greSs are intimating that if
President Eisenhower runs
again, he can win. Even other

Washington politicians are
somewhat puzzled by the strong
speeches and statements of

his trip through the Far East
and Turkey. They feel that
there is a contradiction partic-
ularly between his of the

A number of Senators and

Nixon made in Manila was

were written in the plane en-

were delivered spontaneously

these matters.

out that there is some variance

These have issued directives to
the Voice of America to han

Whether the directive not to

A Third Term for Eisenhower?

vances in medical care, 70 is
not considered a mark of in
eligibility for active service in
many lines of business. Each
case is individual. The
prognosis of Ike's doctors is
that, with the excellent care
given him in the White
House, he may live on con-
siderably beyond his second
term.
The American people are
never much concerned about
the age of their Presidents
nor have they in the past been
impressed with the argument
that a Chief Executive has to
have the physique or the
health of an athlete or that
he has to spend every minute
OF his waking hours on the Job.
There have been some full
time Presidents - and Harry
Truman was one of them
who didn't require more than
few minutes in which to make
some of the graVest errors that
nave been committed in the
presidency, The true story of
the influence of the Truman
stall on the then President
has never been told. 1t isn't
the time that President takes
to study a situation or to de-
eide on it which counts but
the amount of acumen and
judgment he brings to the job
in the first place.
If Ike in his second term
keeps the Nation at peace and
is able to maintain a deterrent
force sufficiently large to pre-
vent any other nation from
starting a war. the chances are
that in 1860 there will be a
considerable demand to have
him continue in Office. 1t may
be, therefore, that the Nations
principal concern in another
year or so will be whether Ike
will be eligible to run for
third term. Because of his de-
votion to public service, it can
be assumed that he himself
will not initiate retirement as
long as he feels able to serve
the American people.

Opinion Heard That G. O. P. Should Have
One Eligible to Balance Truman Status

If the Constitution were to
be amended, moreover, the
process would have to start in
1857. 1t took from March,
l947, to February, 1851. to get
the Twenty-second Amend
ment ratified by three -fourths
of the States. If an amend
ment were proposed in the
1857 session of Congress. it
probably would be 1859 before
final action would be taken
by the States.
Naturally there would be
opposition from some Demo-
Gratis who fear Ikes vote-get-
ting powers, but it would hard
~ be justified because the
purpose of the amendment
would merely be to equalize
an unequal situation between
the major parties. Truman.
himself, probably would be
the first to indorse the idea
for, it will be recalled. it was
Gen. EisenhoWer'S magnanim-
ity and friendliness to the
then President which caused
him to refrain from running
against Truman in the 1913
contest. He might have won.
The story is told that Truman
at Potsdam in 1945 told the
victorious American COM
mander in chief of allied
forces in Europe that there
was no honor which he would
not help the general to at
tain. 1t was then that Ike ex-
pressed his unwillingness to
run for the presidency in
l948.
At the time of the nominate
ing conventions in 1860. Ike
would be only SO and. if elect
ed, he would be 70 at his
third Inauguration.

IS eligible. Chancellor Alden

the latter is the tough area.
though a turnover of only
two seats is needed to switch
control. 1t is tough because a
majority of the II seats now
held by Democrats that are at
stake in the November election
are in reasonably safe terri
tory for the party-eight in
the South where a Democrat
is assured of a return: four in
border StateS-two of those in
Kentucky. one in West Vir-
glnla, and one in Missouri. and
two in the Southwest-Arizona
and Nevada. In the doubtful
category are the three others
= Washington, Oregon and
New York.
OF the II seats held by Re-
publicanS that are at stake in
November. nine might be clas-
slfled as doubtful under ordi-
nary circumstances in view of
repeated Democratic successes
IN special local elections which
included most of those States
IN the last three years, as well
as the 1854 congressional cleo
ton.
There is one special circum-
stance that could neutraliZe
this favorable condition for
Democrats. That is the Essen
hover name at the head of the
ticket and Republicans are de-
pending heavily upon that to
hold the line in their shaky
senatorial territory. as well as
IN close House contests.
Kentucky IS held fighting
territory for Republicans. For
one thing, President Essen
hover almost carried it in
1852, losing by only 700. For
another thing. there is a feud

DAVID LAWRENCE

Because there is such a
widespread assumption, even
among Democrats, that PreSl-
dent Eisenhower will be elect
ed for a second term, there
has begun lately some discus
sion as to whether or not the
Constitution should be amend
ed to permit him to run for a
third term.
This is not as far away as
It might seem. The present
trend of discussion on Capitol
Hill points to some kind of
world crisis for 1860. Presuma-
bly, by then the Soviet govern
ment will have caught up with
America in air power and in
nuclear weapons, and it could
conceiyably happen that there
would be a demand from the
American people that Ike
should continue on in the
White House.
The TWenty-Second Amend
ment, which was declared ef-
fective on February 26, 1851,
prevents Eisenhower from be-
coming a candidate for a third
term. but it does not diSqual-
ify Harry S. Truman, because
the language specifically ex-
empted the incumbent Presi-
dent.
AS long as Truman is eligi-
bic, there are those who feel
that Eisenhower should also
be. The concession to exempt
Truman was made largely to
win Democratic support in
Congress, inasmuch as a two
thirds vote of both Houses
OF Congress was required. But
such a personal exception vio-
lates' the principle of the anti
third term amendment itself.
and the only way to equalize
this is to permit one Republic
can as we'll as one Democrat
to be eligible for a third term.
For at the time the amend
ment was submitted the Re-
publican Party was out of
power.

Reaction in u. S. to Nixon Tour

the November election would
be greatly strengthened.
T hi fact tn at NiXon'S
speeches have drawn sharp
fire from Nehru who conceives
a happy and progressive world
only through coeXistence
tKremlin Style with the Com
munists might hurt Nixon
with the handful of political
men in this country who think
the same way as the Indian
Prime Minister. The myth that
Nehru and his right-hand man,
Krishna-M enon, are likely to
be the honest brokers in the
East-West conflict has been
exploded for some time. Few
Americans, except inveterate
neo-liberals, believe in such a
miracle.
Even good faith Socialists in
Britain. France and Western
Germany are not at all sure
that the Bulganin- Khrushchev
team may not switch over
night from smiles to grunts
and frowns. Yet, at the recent
meeting of the British Com
monwealth prime ministers
Nehru unequivocally reasserted
his neutralism in the event Of
a new conflict.
1t is logical to believe that
the Vice President was not
striking out on his own when,
for instance, he spoke infor-
mally at Karachi, but repre-
sented the innermost thinking
of President Eisenhower. This is
particularly true in the assur-
ances he gave to Chang Kali
shek and the Chinese people.
Nixon stated that this coun-
try will not recognize the
Peiping regime or vote to ad-
nit it to the United Nations at
any time in the near future.
