pointed UP by two visits we made
in one day.
The first was to an agricul-
tural experiment station where
fruit trees. berry bushes and
flowers suitable for growth in
the harsh Siberian climate have
been developed. Among them are
dwarf apple trees. Not more than
az feet high. they are small
enough to be covered with
cheesecloth when winter comes.
The piled-up snow then protects
them instead Of winter killing
them.
The director Of the station
says some hardy apples, pears
and berries he called "vitamin
rich" have been developed from
American and Canadian strains.
At the other extreme was a
visit to a dam being built across
the OBJ 1t will deliver 100000
Ikilowatts of electric power to
the city's booming industries. In

Iigation. a six-lock canal is being

dam. Some $4,000 residents Of
the area had to be moved. Of

SAN FRANCISCO. - The
Republican future is Nixon.
The young Vice President is
the undisputed heir apparent
of President Eisenhower. On
the record Of the proceedings

himself Ike's man.

Senators or Governors who call
themselves Eisenhower Repub-

The Smear That Didn't Succeed

to be placed in the position of
debating the choice of a ma
tional convention. So he con-
fined his remarks to a state
ment that Nixon would be
acceptable" to him as a rum
ming mate. This prompted
rumors of another list Of vice
presidential possibilities that
Eisenhower was supposed to be
preparing.
Then Harold Stassen came
into the picture to misjudge
the anti-Nixon agitation as a
real trend. He later admitted
his error in a speech before
the convention itself when he
seconded the denomination of
Nixon.
Being ambitious himself and
a man with an itch for pub
licity in politics, he had pre-
viously brought forth some So
called polls" Naturally, after
the whispering cam p a ig n,
there were voters who had
been led to believe there was
something wrong with Nixon
and that his nomination would
prove a handicap to the ticket.
A lie repeated often enough
is believed by many who hear
only one side. Hitler capital
lied on that technique.
Nobody has ever been able
to demonstrate to the Repub-
lican leaders that Nixon would
be handicap" In fact, he
disproves it on the stump and
captivates big audiences. And
nobody has yet been able to
find a single sentence which
Nixon ever uttered saying
that the Democrats were "a
party of treason"
What can be found is a
: speech at Milwaukee by Eisen-
hover in the 1852 campaign
in which he mentioned Urea
son" three times in describ-
ing some Communist infiltra-
ton into the Truman regime.
But the Democrats haven't
had the temerity to attack
Eisenhower on that point. So
they tried to reach in behind
him and attack Nixon. The
President. however. saw
through all this and remained
loyal to the Vice President.
Small wonder that. on ar
irving here the President en-
phatically told a press confer
ence that Nixon had done IAN
extraordinary job" and is "as
good a man as you can get"
The vast majority of the dele
gates to the Republican con-
vention had already con-
cluded: IF he's good enough
for Ike, he's good enough for

The smear didn't succeed.

In that story the next four

The mystery of his lone wolf

When it was pointed out by
defenders of Nixon that he had
carried the ball for the adj
ministration on Capitol Hill in
trying to get both the domestic
and foreign policies of the
President adopted. then the
attack was switched to another
direction. 1t was asserted, for
instance. that "Nixon simply
doesn't have the qualifica-
tons"
This very criticism was
voiced repeatedly and given
wide currency by certain big
newspapers in this country
which themselves had been
constantly critical of the Gov
ernment's drive against Com
munists in Federal employ.

clearly what was meant by

The whispering campaign
continued to spread through
out the country and abroad.

SAN FRANCISCO - This
Republican National Conven-
ton has presented the climax
to a big story that has been
unfolding for many months.
The story now can be entitled,
THE Smear that Didn't Sue
ceed."
Never in the history Of
American politics has any,
thing so insidious been at
tempted palpable effort to
ruin the personal and political
reputation of Richard Nixon
by a whispering campaign
about his lack of integrity that
had not the slightest founda-
ton in fact.
The denomination of Vice
President Nixon is not merely
a triumph for the man but for
the common sense of the Re-
publican Party's leadership,
which refused to disqualify a
man just because he had been
a vigorous campaigner and had
aroused the ire of the opposite
party.
Long before President Eisen-
hover suffered a heart attack,
the whispe ring campaign
against Nixon was under way.
In fact. it was initiated about
IS months ago by certain ex-
tremist groups which resented
bitterly his exposure in 1949 of
Alger Hiss. The smear was
given further momentum by
some labor groups close to
the Communist side which
Nixon had criticized in his
California campaign for the
United States Senate.
It seems odd to suggest that
anyone should be disqualified
for high Office just because he
offended his political oppo-
nentS, but that was the main
basis for a rash of articles and
broadcastS from Democratic
Party sympathizers who de-
cided that the vice presidency
should be given more at
tention."
At first. it was not an out
and-out attack on Nixon, but
ostensibly an argument for
careful selection of a Vice
President. 1t was, however,
recognized as a subtle means
of discrediting Nixon. The ef-
fort suddenly gained renewed
attention when the President
became i'll in September, 1855.
