Popularity Poll Held Exploding Myth
That President Loses Power in I'd Term

Members Of Congress can
not, from q political point Of
view. effectively oppose the
President on measures on
which he has the peoples
support. There is little doubt
that Mr.. Eisenhower has won
Nationwide approval by his
peaceful yet Arm course in
world policies.
The fact is that a Presi-
dent need not be weak in his
second term just because ne
cannot be o candidate for a
third term. Theodore Roose-
welt, Republican. welded just
as much political power in
1908 as II he had himself
been a candidate when he
practically dictated the NOM
ination and election Of his
successor. william Howard
Taft. Presidents who failed
to maintain popularity with
the people have lost out even
in their bid for q second
term.
For the real test is In a
Presidents standing with
public opinion. Even during
his second term, he can still
command the confidence Of
the Nation. In fact, there is
more opportunity for him to
win public support In his Sec
ond term than in his first
because. when 1t is univers-
ally accepted that he will not
be q candidate. his motives
are likely to be regarded as
unselfish and unpolitical.
Perhaps the greatest source
of strength today Of PreSi-
dent Eisenhower is that he Is
not seeking anything for him.
self but keeps uppermost in
his mind the welfare Of the
people as a whole. He has
not stopped to petty politics.
The country looks upon him
as o sincere, earnest man.
Evening star., 1959-06-29

The myth that q President
Of the United States loses
power In his second term be-
cause he cannot be reelected
has been exploded by the re-
suits Of the Gallup Poll Just
published. They show that
since the congressional elec-
tions in November, 1858. when
the country voted overwhelm-
ingly Democratic. President
Eisenhower's popularity has
gone up from 50 to 50 per
cent.
Most of the gain has been
achieved inside the Demo-
cratic Party. where 48 per
cent throughout the country,
In contrast with IS per cent
In November. 1858. now say
they approve Of the way Mr..
Eisenhower Is handling the
presidency. The Republican
approval nationally has gone
up from 80 per cent to 81 per
cent since last year.
What has happened to give
the President q rise Of 10
points in the overall vote
since the elections Of only
eight months ago?. Is 1t
any longer true that q Presi-
dent cannot make headway
unless he bribes Congress with
patronage" - appointments
to ofiice of the constituents
of Congressmen-or by be-
slowing other favors on the
legislators whose votes he
needs to support his program?
The ethics Of the presi-
dency have changed consid-
erably since the time when re-
lance was placed on such
tactics. Instead. 1t is the
power Of public opinion
which today strengthens the
hand of a President. This
accounts for the increase in
popularity of Mr.. Eisenhower
with the country as q whole.

the large blue title Battle

Battle Line may or may
not have been so named be-
cause Mr.. Strand himself is
an ex-war correspondent,
and a good one. At all events.
Battle Line has no trouble
whatever in distinguishing
between enemy and friendly
troops: that is. between the
totally bad Democrats and
the utterly good Republicans.
Battle Lines specially chosen

ever had it so good as now

To the top combatants-
the Eisenhower Administra-
ton on the one side and the
various Congressional groups
on the other-the Battle of
the Budget Is an admittedly
complicated affair.
In this swaying struggle,
indeed, the issue Of the mo-
ment sometimes is not SO
much the plain. dollars-and-
cents question Of how much.
Rather. it may be the more
subtle question as to how
much is to be spent where
and under what kind Of
political theory.
The more responsible a
participant is for the out
come, the less able he is to
be absolutely certain that he
is absolutely right in every
single unfolding action of the
great struggle. He can't make
1t all clear to everybody all
the time for the unavoidable
reason that 1t is not all clear,
and never will be.
The less exalted combat
forces. however. are wholly
untroubled by such doubts
and hesitations. These are
the cheerful and gusty prop
agandists Of the Republican
and Democratic National
Committees.
Thus. while the truly sig
niflcant contest is going on
cloudily at the top level, q
heady sense Of certainty
makes the second-level con-
test a good deal more simple
and stimulating. at any rate.

DORIS FLEEsON

In almost his first move
toward being Secretary Of
State in fact as we'll as in
name, Christian A. Herter is
proposing to bring Charles E.
Bohlen back from the Ma
Mia Embassy to do policy
and planning work within
the department.
The project represents a
test of how much freedom of
action President Eisenhower
will allow his new Secretary
Of State. This is an aspect
fully as important as the
indication 1t gives that Herter
wants to make the best pos
sible exploration Of the So
Wet mood and intentions.
Bohlen is one Of the few
recognized Soviet experts in
the Foreign Service. He
served as President Roose-
velt's translator at Yalta. and
Eisenhower early named him
Ambassador to Russia. But
because Of the Bohlen asso-
Citations with the Roosevelt
Truman administrations, the
choice was assailed by the
Republican Right, including
the late Senator Mccarthy.
For once, the President re-
turned the Mccarthy fire
and, with the help Of the
late Senator Taft, won Boh-
lens confirmation.
But Bohlen's friend was
Eisenhower, not the then
Secretary of State Dulles.
When the Bohlen term in
Moscow expired, Dulles
blandly moved him to far
off Manila. BY that time,
Dulles had achieved his
remarkable ascendancy over
Eisenhower in foreign policy
matters and the President
did not join in the wave Of
protest which came from
sources in Congress and the
press.

Whether this new and

from new attitudes in gov

from hanged principles

is difficult to say. In any
case, the two complement

US. Ambassador
To Philippines

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 - John
Dewey Hickerson, expert on Euro
pean and United Nations affairs,
has been named to succeed Charles
E. Bohlen as U. S. Ambassador to
the Philippines.
Nickerson is still at his present
post as us. Ambassador to Fin
land and will probably not be able
to get to Manila until several
weeks after the return of Bohlen
to Washington around the middle
of this month.
Officials said that Bohlen's de-
parture from Manila might be de-
layed few days if the added time
will give him the chance to con-
clude negotiations on U. S. mill
tary bases which he has been car
rying on with Foreign Secretary
FeliXberto Serrano.
In Manila, Secretary Serrano
expressed regrets that Ambassa-
dor Bohlen would probably be
leaving before the bases negotia-
tons could be concluded. If this
happens, sources close to the Sec
rotary Indicated, there might be q
delay of from three to six months
before the new Ambassador could
acquaint himself with the details
of the complex questions involved.
