President Nixon.
The editorial was written by
Talbot Patrick. Herald editor
and publisher, who, was an ON
Ger on the Eisenhower staff
when the General was Supreme
Allied Commander in World
War II. The Herald did not
support Mr.. Eisenhower in
either presidential campaign.
The Herald said that during
Mr.. Eisenhower's expected re-
covery. mot only win the
American people be lacking the
leadership Of their President,
but the peoples of the free ma
tons and of the neutral nations
will feel the world empty of
American leadership"
Mot" continued the edi-

Mr.. Hayes, in the p. U. c.

to be figured. He admitted,
however, that the costs were
indefinite and settled on a
balance between the staff and
