The Democratic Digest por-
trays President Eisenhower as
an irritable, ailing and nervous
man who is "steadfastly whang-
ing golf balls"
The Democratic National Com
mittee publication presented
yesterday what 1t said was a
review Of the first 100 days Of
the Eisenhower second term.
It said a ''lot Of history has
flowed around Ike since his first
100 days (of the first term. but
he goes right on steadfastly
whanging golf balls. -"
It added:

IL. The President is a har-
monizer by nature. What his
administration needs Is an

domestic problems. It needs
Republican allies on Capitol
Hill as against its political
foes. This means more con-
ferences on party strategy to
help members of Congress to
win elections. but 1t also means
q better system Of commune
eating the facts to the people
about how the administration
Is trying to meet the chal-
lenges Of the times.
IL. All this reveals the i'm

now that Eisenhower will take
the stump for his party in both
the 1858 and 1860 campaigns.
He Is the elected leader Of his
party, and the fact that he
isn't to be q candidate

strengthen his position in the

Secretary Of the Treasury
George Humphrey and his
Undersecretary, w. Randolph
Burgess, apparently are ready
to depart from Washington at
about the time q senatorial

cal policies is getting set. That

shine on some Treasury repu-

The fact is that the Treasury
is close to being strapped for

having to walk q precarious

Senate Look-See Into Fiscal Policies
Expected to Dull Some Regulations

suing shcrt-term paper, the
previous administration had
relied too heavily on the banks
for money. Under the new
regime, long-term bonds would
be sold on the market-which
means to the public. The pub
lie now owns more than $40
billion in Federal securities,
but the market has dried up.
For months now the public has
been cashing in more Of its
bonds than it has been buying.
1t is the paying out of the diff
ference that has strapped the
Treasury for cash.
The dismal view which Treas
ury policy-makers see from
their position on the tightrope
is the possibility that the pub
lie may 60 on cashing In their
bonds. This Is he reason why
new Treasury Z Bonds will
carry an interest rate Of ~
per cent.
But 1t Is precisely the rails
ing of interest rates ON new
issues which puts the Treasury
into its present dilemma.
Higher interest rates on new
issues makes holders Of issues
carrying smaller rates FESTIVE
and increases the possibility
Of q wave Of bond cashing.
As 1t Is. some Treasury issues
are now selling at . discount
Of 10 per cent.
What all this means Is that
the Treasury Ii back ct the
mercy Of the bankers. As the
public has dried up a. q source
Of funds. the Treasury has no
choice but to turn to banks
and other financial institu-
tons such as the insurance
companies.

DAVID LAWRENCE

President Eisenhower has a
big job to do right away as
the leader of the Republican
Party in the Nation. There
are some fundamental truths
in politics that are inescapable-
and they apply to the Re-
publican Party as a whole as
well as they do to the Presi-
dent. They may be outlined
as follows:
/. The Republican presi-
Dental nomination In 1860
will not be worth much to any,
Republican If the record Of
the Eisenhower administration
cannot be supported by Re-
publicans generally. If the adj
ministration proves to be a
success, all Republican candi-
dates will want to ride on its
coattails.
2. Differences Of opinion be-
tween a President and mem
bers of his party in Congress
should be threshed out at the
White House in q series Of con-
ferences with plenty Of copies
Of the 1856 platform handy
for reference. It was unani-
mously adopted only ten
months ago. There are ways
the Republicans can express
their differences on particu-
lar issues without deserving
their party leadership.
3. No political party which
produces q division during its
incumbency wins the SUISSE
quent election. The Republic
can Party today. for example.
hasn't enough votes to spare
In the pivotal States, so it
cannot afford the luxury Of
feuding within its own ranks.
4. The Republican Party
needs to mobilize all its
energies to meet the challenge
Of the radical Democrats who
would stifie the system Of free
enterprise. Most Of the South
ern States will vote Demo-
cratic, anyhow. In 1858. but
the election Of more radicals
from the North viii lessen the
strength and influence Of the
conservative Democrats In
Congress. The crucial battle
Is In the North and West.
5. The Republicans. inside
and outside Congress, have moi
organized their offense or theil
defense to date. They have

in-and-day-out shipping by the
radical Democrats and their
allies in the press. In fact. too
many Republicans, instead Of

cution.
6. Every incumbent admins
tration Is on the defensive be-
cause 1t has the responsibility

whereas its opponents need
not say what they would do
they merely attack what is be-
ing done. The late FDR was
one Of the few Presidents who
recognized that as party leader
he should never let down on
the attack. His "fireside chats"
on the radio kept going
throughout his tenure in Of
fee the fight against his po-
litical opponents and sustained
the morale Of his own party
workers. Eisenhower has both
television and radio available.
He doesn't use them enough
between campaigns.
7. Every administration has
troubles with its own members
in Congress. There always are
patronage difficulties and fail
ures to consult Senators and
Representatives about matters
vital to them, especially ap-
pointm e n Is. A presidential
stan that neglects its home
work on politics can wreck q
party's chances Just as fast
as can those members Of Con-
gress who attack o President
Of their own party and stir up
discussion publicly.
8. Dissent by q few members
Of Congress on policies isn't
just q quarrel between the
White House and those menu
bers. It means that millions
Of voters take sides. become
fixed in their positions on
public questions. and this in

years of wear. The fabric should
be pre-shrunk and color fast, so
it will not fade or stain your
clothes. Some fabrics are perspir-
alton proof and guaranteed to
hold up for the life of the gar
ment. For this kind of informa-
ton read fabric labels carefully
before making your purchase, ad-
vises Miss Korslund. The fabric
should also be firmly woven, so
that seams will not pull Quit
should be smooth enough for you
to slip easily in and out of your
coat.
Most lining fabric comes in
widths of SO to As inches. To de-
termine how much fabric you
need, measure the length of the
coat from the shoulder at the
neckline to the hem, add two
inches for a hem, multiply this
number by two, and add the
sleeve length. These inches fig
ured into yards will allow ample
yardage for cutting out new
lining. Add an additional half
yard if your coat is full.
Use the old lining as a pattern,
and follow the grain line of>the
original pieces. Cut and assemble
the lining pieces, and replace the
entire lining in the coat.
Miss Korslund recommends hav-
ing your coat cleaned before re-
moving the old lining, since it's
much nicer to work with a clean
garment.

acceptable proofs are: old family
