Mr.. Heckscher keynoted the
opening session of the associa-
tons annual meeting, held at
the Statler and Mayflower Hotels.
Matters political - from local
government to international re-
slations-are subjects some 1000
political scientists, practicing
politicians and Government Of
ficials plunged into today.
Since 1856 is the centennial of
Woodrow Wilson's birth, much
of the meeting is being devoted
to the World War l President
who also was once a president
of the association.

suffer another heart attack or
relapse from his iletitis opera
ton. the professors say all bets
are off-that the President woulA
probably lose the election.
This is the way the professors
sized up the election:
David Singer. Vassar College
My guess is that Stevenson is
going to win. It's based on the
assumption that in 1852 you had
accumulation of 20 years Of
resentments opposed by some
one extremely popular and con-
siderably idealized. My feeling
John H. Romani, Western
Michigan think it will be a
close election but Eisenhower
will win. :. because of his great.
!. popularity. Stevenson will
have some success in identifying
Eisenhower with the Republican
Party.
Peter H. Odegard, University
of California at Berkeley was
a member Of the Democratic
delegation to the convention.
Nevertheless, think it's ridicu-
lous to try to predict the outcome
now. Political scientists know
only what they get in news
paper reports which indicate q
strong switch from Eisenhower
to Stevenson in the Pacific
Northwest. The critical element
will be the farm vote in that
area. I'd say Stevenson has an
even chance &. that it will be
"a real horse race.
Stanley Kelley, Bookings In
stitution-My money would be
on Eisenhower. The only evil
dence have to go on is the polls,
They can be wrong.
Donald Gerth, University OF
Chicago - I think Eisenhower
will win that he is unbeat-
able unless his health deterior-
ates at the last minute.
Alfred Diamond. Ohio State
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-09-06

University-The record of the
Republicans on the whole has
been good and the people will
be inclined to go along with
them. President EiSenhower's
general popularity will be a very
strong factor.
Charles Aiken, University of
California-Oh, sure, Ike will
win. You can't throw a man out
of Office when the economic
situation is as strong as it is
now. California will go to Ike.
Robert COnnery, Duke Uni
versity - The Democrats will
carry North Carolina, but Eisen-
hover will win. You can't beat
peace and prosperity.
Marc KarsOn, Washburn Uni
versity-I think Stevenson will
be elected because his talking
sense will finally educate the
American people to the fact that
President Eisenhower cannot as
sert sufficient leadership to
change business character Of the
Republican Party.

European Newspapers
Welcome Candidacy

LONDON, March l (R.-
Western Europe's on-Commun-
list press gave warm welcome to-
day to President Eisenhower's
decision to run again. Officials
on both sides of the Iron Cur
tain were noncommittal, but the
Russians said smilingly they had
expected it.
Editorial comment over the
announcement ranged from So
Der reflection to open jubilation.
The Times of London unused:
"It is impossible not to admire
the devotion to duty which has
led him, after prolonged private
debate, to this decision"
Morgenbladet of Oslo declared:
1.-THE whole free world will greet
the Presidents decision with sat-
isfaction." But Copenhagen's
Dagens Nyheter-a conservative
power-found it almost histori-
cal irony that at a time when
authoritarian Russian goes in
for collective leadership, one
should see the democratic United
States depending on the decision
of one man"

eign Minister Andrea Gromyko.

managed to express its satisfac-
ton at the news which broke
here late yesterday afternoon.
The restraint is less than usual
In such cases, possibly because
most Europeans take it as a fore
gone conclusion that Mr.. EiSen-
hover will be reelected by a
greater majority than the last
time whether he campaigns
actively or not.
This prospect is being gen.
orally hailed as a contribution to
peace. prosperity and solidarity
of the Western world. To a
marked degree its takes the form
of a personal tribute to Mr..
Eisenhower and the moderate
line which he is felt to represent.
Significantly, some of the most
enthusiastic comment has come
from quarters which have loudly
criticised American policy in
Europe since the Presidents
illness.
General reaction contrasts
sharply with European senti-
ment during the last presidential
campaign, which more or less
openly favored. Adlai Stevenson
as a candidate for the White
House. Even during the congress
sional elections last year there
was considerable rejoicing over
the Democratic victory in both
houses of Congress.
The switch is explained per-
haps by the fact that Europeans
today look on President Eisen-
hover as a nonpartisan leader,
able to work with both liberals
and conservatives. 1t also re-
fleets anxiety at the prospect OF
any radical change in United
States policy or even a period OF
turmoil and confusion which a
presidential campaign usually
entails.
