Well. the reporters are never

them a story, fun of color and

Id PubIicity Hounds


Since their return from the Paris
NATO convention the stream of
journalistic venom that for the past
two years has unremittingly been
directed at the Mcssrs. Eisenhower
and Dulles has notably increased in
volume and virulence. Whether the
anti-Eisenhower journalists are fol-
lowing the Democratic politicians or
the politicians are following the
journalists is a little difficult to
determine But certainly they are
cooperating quite beautifully. They
are, Of course, greatly aided by
those two labor politicians, Mr.
George Meany and Mr. Walter
Reuthcr.
These two gentlemen unques-
tionably sponsor one Of the most
effective radio news programs on
the air which is devoted to be-
lifting the President and his Adj
ministration in every way it can.
All of this has been stepped up in
the last two weeks. All of it is,
perhaps, natural and to be ex-
pected, but is hasn't much point
because its animus is well under

surprising is the plain fact that
