Symphonic Choir
OF OSU Coming To
Lafayette April IL

Ohio State university's nationally
known symphonic choir, rated by
many professionals as one of the
finest of college choirs, will appear
at the Lafayette high school auditor
ium Wednesday evening, April II.
The concert is being sponsored by
the schools music department.
The 58-voice choir received inter-
national acclaim two years ago when
they visited France, Germany, Bel
gium, England and Wales. It's
participation in the 1866 Internation-
al Musical Eisteddfod in Wales
drew high praise from European
critics.
On its European tour the choir
had two television appearances for
the British Broadcasting Corpora
ton and IL radio performances in
England and Germany. Members of
the choir were acclaimed for their
accomplishments as unofficial "cul-
tural ambassadors" abroad.
The Symphonic Choir was founded
in 1887 by Prof. Louis Diercks, its
present director. The 20-member
group grew to 80 singers the next
year when it won its first national
honors. At this time it was selected
as the top group among 30 amateur
choruses in Choral Quest" spon-
sored by the Columbia Broadcasting
System.
Among the many recent honors
the Choir has received as its
selection by the "Voice of America"
to be featured on recorded programs
broadcast on stations throughout
France.

DAVID LAWRENCE

There Is something refresh
ing about President Eisen-
hower's naturalness and can
dor. He was asked. for in
stance. at his press conference
this week If the record Of
Congress this year. which he
regards as disappointing.
might lead to his taking the
stump for a Republican Con-
gress next year in a sort Of
modified give-'em-hell cam
paign." His answer was this:
well, I think I will Just
have to pursue what is nat
ural for me. I believe that
anyone who does something
that is unnatural and arti-
fetal for himself is not effec-
tive. Now. what I plead for
are the programs that I be-
lieve to be good for America.
And now it happens that 1
believe the Republicans have
a better program than the
Democrats and. to that ex-
tent. Of course, I am going
to be partisan. but primarily
I am for the program.
The reference to a "give-
'em-hell campaign" was. Of
course. based on the kind of
stump speaking which Harry
Truman boosted about in
1913. and there is still the
illusion in many quarters
here that name-calling gets
somewhere with the Ameri-
can people. Actually, in 194S,
the Truman vote in most
States ran far behind the
vote for a Democratic Con-
gress-one Of the rare in
stances in which a President
winning an election got
fewer votes than the mem
bers Of Congress Of his own
party. Indeed, Truman would
have lost but for the defec-
ton Of the Republican farm
vote in certain Western States
and in Ohio. This was due
more to Republican errors
than any virtues in Truman
ism.
There isn't any need to
initiate Truman, for there
are dignif1ed ways to deal
with a hostile Congress.

degree. retains the esteem of

has no selfish interest In
government or politics. He
Is not eligible for q third
term. His reward can come
only in the satisfaction that
he has served the American
people faithfully. The Presi-
dents efforts to conciliate
rather than to antagonize
Congress have been in con-
formity with his whole APP
proach to problems of human
conflict. For this reason. he
has a real opportunity to
carry to the American peo-
pie his case for the enact
ment Of q constructive legis-
lative program.
Eisenhower needs only to
go back to first principles
and explain to the country
why the American system of
government cannot be effec-
tive if it is divided in a time
Of crisis. 1t is especially
dangerous when a lack Of
responsibility is manifested.
After all, Eisen h over
might well argue that, in
the elections of 1856, the
Nation did place the respon-
sibility for the legislative
program in Congress on the
Democratic Party. This is
an unacceptable fact and so
simple that every voter who
understands the principles Of
the Constitution can grasp
it at once. For the Presi-
dent cannot by himself make
the laws nor can he use any
force except the force of pub
lie opinion to persuade Con-
gress to. pass the laws he
recommends and is willing
to sign.
There is a tremendous
force in the impromptu re-
marks Eisenhower did make
at his press conference. espe-
cially when he expressed his
disappointment at the lack
of action by Congress on "a
long list Of recommended
tons that he made last
January. He said:
"Of course. I am disap-
pointed, because these things
that I talk about are not pet
projects of my own. I have

son-other than that of a

What a difference the two

than ever before, we may
judge merely by looking back
to the last time that the Re-
publican Party had a COM
parable situation. that is. a
President who was in his
second term.
That takes us back to CAL
win Coolidge. He had only
part of a first term. He had
succeeded to the presidency
from the vice presidency at
the death on August 2. 1923,
of President Warren G. Hard
ing. who had become Presi-
dent on March 4. 1921. Call
win Coolidge was elected to
another term in 1924. Nat
urally there was much specu-
lation about whether he
might run again in 1923. The
uncertainty restrained the
ambitious in his party,
though his Secretary of Com
merce. Herbert Hoover, was
all ready to start once the
word was given.
1t came. and with the sim
pie drama Of which only
Calvin Coolidge was capable.
1t happened August 2, 1927,
the fourth anniversary of his
accession to the presidency,
while on vacation in South
Dakota. He walked into the
press room in the schoolhouse
where he maintained his
vacation office and handed
newspapermen slips of paper
with one line typed on them:
II do not choose to run for
President in 1928"
Though there was much
argument as TO whether he
really meant this to be final.

today. it was accepted at face
value by Herbert Hoover and

campaign that resulted in his
nomination and election.

ISTANBUL. Turkey (By
Airmail) - Turkey is one Of
the relatively rare countries
where American prestige is
fairly high and Americans,
whether in uniform or not,
still receive the red carpet
treatment. There have been
only a few incidents between
the nativs population and
our GIs.
Radio stations in the USSR
and Bulgaria continually
blare out against American
Imperialism" and warn the
Turks that they are rapidly
becoming a Yankee colony"
but this makes no impression
There are few radio sets
by our standards - in this
country. But every village
has a loudspeaker in the
local cafes where the peas
ants gather every afternoon
to listen to news, music and
propaganda. Despite their
pro-American feelings, I am
told they prefer the programs
from the iron curtain coun-
tries to those Of the Voice
of America. The Turks say
the Voice (two hours a day.
Is drab. uninspiring and
sometimes outright stupid.
The masterminds in WASH
ington do not seem to realize
that the simple Turkish folk
are not interested in such
topics as the lives Of great
Americans, or in mild, aca-
demic criticism Of the enc
mics on their borders. Nor
do they care for Turkish
music originating in New
York when they have better
here.
The shortwave broadcasts
Of the Reds. with continuous
programs for six to eight
hours a day, are far more
to the taste of the average
Turk. who at the same time
apparently fully recognizes
the Communist propaganda
line. such as when the Reds
accuse America of attempting
to bankrupt Turkey ''in order
to take it over with greater
ease"

States Of America-for want
ing them passed. but that
reason is governing and con-
trolling with me.
"As a matter Of fact, 1t Is
the only reason / think any
one has a right to occupy the

way. And. therefore. for the
sake Of the United States, !
am tremendously disappointed
that so many of these bills

have held hearings. Now, the
details Of them. there is no
use going into now. They
are long things. They apply
to everything from the coun-
try's finances, the welfare Of
our people. mutual aid-and
right down the line"
Other Presidents, particu-
larry Woodrow Wilson, have
expressed in more formal
language and style than this,
but none more eloquently,
the concept Of presidential
leadership which is funda-
mental in the American
governmental system. The
hard hitting" give EN-
hell" speeches, with bitter
denunciation of personalities,
may make good headlines
and dramatic televisionshows
but such techniques under
estimate the intelligence Of
the American electorate.
For the President of the
United States does not rep
resent Just a single State or
congressional district or re-
gion. nor is he beholden to
any pressure group. He alone
represents all the people.
Whether it is mutual aid"-
which is in reality not for
eign aid" but aid to the
United States itself in a
strengthened defense against
potential enemies-or wheth-
er it is the drive for a better
life on the home front, as
reflected in the many pieces
of domestic legislation now
pending in Congress, the
basic justification is to be
found in the answer to this
overriding question: Is the
program good for the people
Of the United States? That's
the whole case and the whole
opportunity for effective
leadership by the President
today.

Starting the go Campaign Early

longer head. moves OF to-
ward 1860. with Vice Presi-
dent Nixon clearly in the lead.
AS Of today, the Vice Pres
ident is counting the mod
ern" or liberal" or "Eisen-
hover" Republican wing Of
the party. In the past, dur
ing his service in the House
and Senate, he was regarded
as a conservative. Just where
he may end up eventually
no one can forecast today,
though his skill at maneu-
yer forecasts that II will be
where his ambition seems
likelieSt to be served. From
here that would seem to be
with the Eisenhower wing.
That element Of the party has
won an conventions in recent
years and lost every Con-
gress. In Congress the con-
sentative wing is predomi-
nant. or. as it was called in
the lifetime of the late Sem
ator Robert A. Taft Of Ohio
the Taft" wing. It is with
the latter that the fortunes
of Senator Knowland would
seem to lie.
One aim of the campaign
now under way to create a
new" Nixon is grounded in
political psychology. It is
based on the theory that, in
picking a President, our peo-
pie are wary Of the prosecut-
ing attorney type. the aveng-
ing investigator. That was
the role in which Richard NJ.
Nixon was cast and appeared
before the public during his
career in House and Senate
and afterwards as campaign
er. including his first cam
paign for Vice President and
in the 1854 congressional
election campaign. He alien
ated multitudes Of Democrats
by his vicious and venomous
attacks on some of their
leading figures, among them
Harry s. Truman and Adlai
Stevenson. He almost in
vented a new type of con-
d e m IA tion by insinuation
that was not much above
McCarthyism.
The aim is to get that fig-
ure out Of the public mind
generally. even if a great
many Democrats never will
forget 1t.
Now, thanks to the two
term limitation. there are
three years before the 1860
convention in which to do IT.

Never have aspirants for
the mantle Of an incumbent
President within his own par
ty begun their campaigns to
succeed him so far in advance
nor so energetically as we
may observe today.
Indeed, the scramble for
that almost awesome Job in
the White House, which will
not in fact be open" for
n early thre e-and-a-half
years. could almost be de-
scribed as unseemly. Except
that this jockeying for a
future opening" is Gus
tomary in all walks of life
among us Americans. So no
one is likely to be shocked.
It becomes the fate of even
one Of our most popular Presi-
dents to sit by and watch
the campaign now under way
to divert the people, flckle
beast as the poets say in a
number Of ways-to younger
ambitious figures who are so
impatient that they cannot
wait. That he is pushed in
to this spectator role this
early. when he has just
started his second term. is
another effect Of the con-
stitutional limitation to two
terms. He is the first Presi-
dent to whom it has applied.
Everybody knows he does not
have to be reckoned with any
longer. Including Congress,
as We see today.
Including also the two lead
ing contenders for his spot.
AS pointed out here previous
ly. Senator William K. Know
land Of California, G. o. P.
leader in the Senate, began
his moves to become the Ell
senhower successor even be-
fore the President had taken
the oath Of ofiice for his Sec
ond term. AS for that other
California hopeful, Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, he has been busy
also.
He has been capitalizing
upon the civil rights bill to
give him a liberal" look,
while his champions among
the ranks Of publicists-and
they are legion-are busy
creating a new" and ma
ture" Nixon to replace the
incorporate orator that we
watched and heard-and not
