Calculating the Risk of I'd Term

of World War II, chose not to
upset the continuity Of ad-
ministration and not to allow q
critical period Of uncertainty
in leadership to develop.
All the precedents argue in
favor Of continuity Of party
or administration in the White
House when an international
crisis occurs. 1t could have an
important bearing on Mr..
Eisenhower's decision, too.
What Mr.. Eisenhower doubt
less had in mind when he
talked to the reporters about
the unexpected" was the POS
sibility that a President with
a heart ailment might die un-
expectedly and at a critical
time. But. while indeed such a
turn Of fate would be a shock
to the country and to the
world, the period of uncer-
tainty Is short-lived. The Vice
President takes the oath Of
Office Immediately. This was
true when Presidents Lincoln,
Garfield and Mckinley we're
shot and. in recent times. when
Presidents Harding and Frank
lin Roosevelt died in office.
When the next in line cakes
office. the incumbent admins
tration usually continues on
with the same cabinet and
the same policies.
Comparing the consequences
Of sudden change due to death
Of a President in ONCE and
the confusion and uncertainty
which would ensue in the
United States If Mr.. Eisen-
hover should In February or
March announce that he win
not run. there seems little
doubt that the latter type
Of change would produce far
more damage to world affairs
in general and to the economic
situation in the United States.
National policies toward BUSH
ness. which are of prime i'm
portance. would be left uncer-
tain till a new President took
Office ten or eleven months
later. This crisis would. in any
event. last at least eight
months-from March to No
vember-even If the Republic
can candidate were success
full in the election itself.

about their own "low political
reserve" than about Eisen-
hover when they urge him to
run again.
Republican strategy has
been to focus all the spotlight
on Eisenhower, the man above
party. above normal political
considerations and above heart
attacks. The arrow launched
at their own vested interests in
the problem stung. They re-
acted with cries of vicious
smear and shame.
OF course Republicans would
like to rule the Presidents
health out of bounds as a topic
of political discussion, at least
until they have his assurances
that he will run again. After
that, they can depend on his
defending his own decision:
they believe he would evoke the
country's sympathy and sup
port for it.
So far their strategy has
been remarkably successful:
only now is discussion growing
about what it really would
mean to re-elect the President
at "a with his history of a heart
attack. The President men,

Issue Is Sure to Be q Major One
Should Eisenhower Decide to Run

President Eisenhower's
health is the central issue of
American politics today. If
he runs again it will be a major
and legitimate issue of the
campaign.
The President himself has
raised the question of whether
he might survive another term
If he sought and won it. This
was when he saw reporters at
Key West last Sunday in his
first press conference since his
heart attack, conference he
himself volunteered.
The reporters were agreed
that it was clearly one Of the
things he had been thinking
about as he strove to make up
his mind what to do. 1t seemed
to many people at the time
that the President was show
ing more common sense than
Republicans who were trying
to create the impression that
a heart attack was no more
than a bad cold from which
one might recover stronger
and surer in health.
Such was the situation when
Senator Kerr of Oklahoma
suggested in a light but
barbed state of the health"
note to constituents that Re-
publicans were worried more

dents four-year term might
have on the country.
A Presidents disability might
give rise to even more critical
problems. The Constitution
provides for his successor II
he departs the scene: it says
nothing about the other diff
f1cult situations that might
arise.
A whole series of legitimate
arguments can be made for
another Eisenhower candidacy.
The fact that Republicans do
not make them, but concen-
trate instead upon suggestions
that the President is as good
as new and it is un-American
to say otherwise, indicates that
their arguments are still d.
rected at him and his family.
1t seems clear that they are
seeking to persuade him and
are uncertain Of his answer.
Their greatest piece Of luck
is that no crisis has arisen to
put him or their thesis to the
test. His attack occurred in
the political off-season, with
Congress in adjournment. No
grave domestic or world prob
lem has made the White House
the throbbing nerve center OF
imperative decision which can
not possibly be popular with
everybody or carries with 1t
great risks.

Contempt Action
Reversed'by Court

The U. S. Court of Appeals for
the District Of Columbia yester-
day reversed the contempt Of
Congress conviction of Saul
Grossman of Detroit, an Official
of the Michigan Committee for
the Protection of Foreign Born.
His acquittal was ordered in a
split 2-to-1 opinion.
Mr.. Grossman had been con-
victed Of willfully failing to tell
the House Un-American Activi-
ties Committee whether he re-
fused to produce certain records
Of the organization. He had
been sentenced to serve one year
in jail and pay 81 900 fine.
In upsetting the conviction,
the majority opinion held gen.
orally that Mr.. Grossman had
not been directed specifically to
answer the question put to him.
The opinion was written by
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman and
concurred in by Judge David L.
Bazelon. Judge Walter M. Bas-
tan dissented, but wrote mol

we have been in this business
for several years. ever since
the Truman administration

Much fuss is being made,
propaganda-wise, of the re-
ported offer of the USSR to
build for India an aluminium

This is still in the realm Of
an offer while the United
States has already provided
India during the last few years
with more than half a billion
in the form of economic and
industrial assistance and wheat

The important question
raised in Wa hington is
whether further foreign aid

improve the Vests position in
those areas. The present dete-
rioration in those areas is due
to political considerations. We
are rapidly losing our Arab

its own initiative is providing

and many other advantages
out of its profits. 1t is a kind

The enmity Of the Saudian
government toward the United
States is due to the fact that
we supported creation of the
Israeli republic. which the
Arabs claim was carved out Of
their own lands. There is moth
ing much that the USSR can
do for these fanatical Moham-
medans. But the Soviets are
now in high favor because
they are willing to help the
Arabs with weapons and are
encouraging them to wage war
on their Jewish neighbors who
are supported by the Western
imperialist-capitalists."
Another case in point is Jor-
dan. This little Arab kingdom
was a creation Of the British.
1t has the best organized army

British officers and provided

issued a call to dollars to coun-

the Russians are doing Is to

DAVID LAWRENCE

What do members of the
cabinet think about the
chances of an announcement
being made by President Ell
senhower that he will accept
nomination for a second term?
Most of them who talk
about it at all do so privately
to their friends and associ-
ates. and the preponderant
opinion is that the President
will take what is often called
in military terms a "calcu-
lated risk" and will be willing
to serve If the people wish
him to do SO.
Since the transcript Of the
Presidents conference with
the press last Sunday at Key
West was published. it devel-
ops that there are really two
main groups in Washington,
irrespective of party, who COM
ment on it.
The first assumes that a
personal decision is to be made,
and many individuals, whether
Republican or Democratic. say
the same thing-that in their
own cases and faced with the
same circumstances, tn ey
wouldn't risk a second term
or any other heavy duties in
business or the professions.
The second assumes that,
while there is a personal risk.
q soldier is inclined to look at
the national interest above
self-interest and that. when
all the facts and arguments
are marshaled, Mr.. Eisenhow-
er, impelled by a sense of duty,
will decide to serve on if re-
elected.
But it is surprising that
those who commented over
looked one aspect of what
could be involved in the Presi-
dents reference to the "un-
expected" He said in his press
conference:
1T is a very critical thing
to change governments in this
country at a time that it is
unexpected-we accustom our
selves, and so do foreign gov
ernments. to changing our
government every four years
but always something happens
that is untoward when b gov

times. 1t is a rather startling
thing"
But. 1t may be asked, just
what is going to happen in this
country and in the world if
the President announces that
he isn't going to run? When
ever he says he doesn't intend
to run again, the news will
come as a shock to the people
not only of this country but
of the other countries of the
free world.
The unexpected" will then
develop with intensity. Amer
lean leadership will suddenly
become uncertain and perhaps
frustrated. If the President
announces a negative decision
at the end of February, for
example. a period of uncer-
tainty lasting through several
months will inevitably follow.
The other governments of the
free world. knowing that Mr..
Eisenhower will not be at the
helm after next January, will
not feel inclined to initiate
new policies with Mr.. Dulles,
for he. too, would not assuredly
be Secretary of State after the
present administration came
to an end.
AS for the Communist gov
ernments. they might feel this
period of uncertainty gave
them a chance to do the "un-
expected" too, and a flare-up
In Formosan waters might be
the result, with grave risks
of war.
It has not been the custom
of the American people to
change horses in midstream."
There was. for example, con-
siderable opposition to the
third-term idea prior to May
10. 1910. when Hitler made it
a total war" by invading Hol-
land and Belgium and driving
toward France. The moment
the international situation
changed. sentiment inside
America changed. and Mr..
Roosevelt made up his mind
to ignore the third-term ira
dition.
The same situation prevailed
in November, 1914. when the
American people, at the height
