The overw or ked soul
searching" expression can be
aptly applied to President
Eisenhower who faces the most
momentous decision in his life.
He probably shares with all
who have suffered what in
medical parlance is called a
moderate" coronary, the nat
ural fear Of a second attack.
Optimistic statistics may al
leviate some Of the fears of
coronary patients. But the
feeling that a second attack
may strike at any time per-
sists at least subconsciously.
At the same time he is being
told that under present-day
conditions he must make an
effort to lead the Nation
through stormy world affairs
for another four years. He is
told by those close to him that
he is the only person who en-
joys the necessary prestige
abroad and confidence at home
to lead America and the free
world out of the wilderness.
Ardent partisarlss have al
ready indicated that having to
choose between his own in
stincts Of elf-preservation and
dying with his boots on" Mr..
Eisenhower would choose the
latter. And since the medical
report saying that the Presi-
dent could undertake under
proper conditions his present
burdensome tasks for at least
another fve years the tempta-
ton to continue the job may
be sufficiently great.
The President Of the United
States is, generally speaking, a
lonely man. He has hosts of
friends. advisers and we'll
wishers. But rarely can he rely
on the brutal frankness real
friends indulge in when deal
ing with individuals In less
exalted positions.

Stevenson Past and Present

venson answered. ''he doesn't
know me, he knows Adlai."
AS Stevenson he is more in
terested in ideas than political
Office. Fully conscious also OF
himself as Adlai. he knows he
has to win Office in order to
translate his ideas into action.
There Is nothing hesitant
about his will to win the presi-
dency. He Is conscious Of the
great problems of the times
and he thinks too little is being
done to meet them. What he
really believes, though he has
not yet brought himself to
hammer on it publicly, Is that
Eisenhower is a weak Presi-
dent and that Republicans
want 1t that way.
Stevenson's shake down
cruise, all this being said and
the civil rights problem thrown
in. has been on the whole q
success. He has helped raise
funds in important States. he
has met the folks" and lent
an ear to their troubles. Gen.
orally his speeches have gone
over better with his immediate
audiences than they appeared
on television. Reporters like
him.
Except on the civil rights
issue. which he would have
confronted sooner or later
anyway, he has lost nothing he
had and in all conversations he
is conceded the present best
spokesman of the Democratic
Party.
