Morton Plans
1860 TV Talks
For President
BY the Associated Press


ing cast by Senator Morton, Re.
publican of Kentucky. in the
1860 role of top-level defender
Of G. o. p. policies rather than
as a cross-country campaigner
Senator Morton, the Repub-
lican national chairman, sale
in an interview he believes Mr.
Eisenhower could give highly
effective help to next years
party presidential nominee "by
developing for the people the
simple reasoning behind the
position the administration has
taken on major issues"
This will be true If the nomi.
nee-as I feel sure he will be.
cause he will not have much
choice-indicates he intends tc
carry out the basic principles
of the present administration,
Senator Morton said.
Cites Labor Talk
Senator Morton, who already
is dickering for 1860 television-
radio time, said he has in mind
presidential explanations OF
the administrations position
such as Mr.. Eisenhower gave
last week on the labor reform
measure.
Senator Morton indicated he
regards this as likely to pro-
duce better results than tub
humping campaigning such
as former President Truman
carried on in 1852 and 1856.
MIR. Eisenhower told his
news conference yesterday that
as outgoing Chief Executive he
would be "a little bit of a by
stander" in the 1860 campaign.
But Senator Morton said he
thinks the President will con-
tinue to pack a wallop when
he speaks to the Nation.
TV-RadiO Plans
Senator Morton expects to
give way at next years con-
vention to the presidential
nominees choice of a new
chairman. But before he goes
out of Office. he will have gone
a long way toward shaping the
televiSion-radio schedule for
! the campaign.
! The G. o. P. chairman thinks
the novelty is gone from po-
litical broadcasting. For that
reason he wants very few ex-
pensive half-hour TV appear
ances. He leans to five-minute
windups on established enter
tainment programs and to 90
second spots in which the po-
litical pitch would rival the best
of the commercials.
! While he is maintaining strict
neutrality in the contest for the
presidential nomination, he
would use different techniques
in presenting Vice President
Nixon or New York Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller if, as expected,
one of them is the nominee.
! Senator Morton's idea would
be to put Gov. Rockefeller on
informally and let him take
care of himself. For Mr.. Nixon
he would make more formal
preparations.

out-of- Washington news con-
ference in a temporarily con-
verted gymnasium here yester-
day that there is something
new in his current efforts to
ease cold war tensions and to
get Congress to pass the legis-
lation he wants.
The President said he and
John Foster Dulles. his late
Secretary Of State, began to
feel late last year that the ira
ditional diplomatic methods
they were using in negotiations
with Russia had to be re-
inforced by something a little
different"
More Personal Activity
He noted that the cold war
has gone on and on since soon
after the end of World War II
IN l945 to become "a kind of
Stalemate" that has in it "the
element Of almost hopeless
ness"
Feeling that no effort should
be spared to break that stale
mate, he decided to try "some-
thing a little different" by ar
ranging for personal talks with
Soviet Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev.
In the domestic field. Mr..
Eisenhower pointed out that he
has been confronted by a Dem
ocratic-controlled Congress
since his first two years in Of
flee. This has made it more
and more difficult" he said, to
get progress in legislation he
thinks will be helpful for the
country.
II think it takes. therefore,
possibly more personal activity
than I think would be normal
in more normal circumstances"
Unprecedented News Farley
The new Eisenhower" is
evident in more than his own
words.
One evidence of the change
in the President is the very
fact that he held a news con-
ference here at all yesterday.
His explanation was that his
Office is here temporarily;
Wednesday is the usual press
conference day. so why not?
But he has had temporary Of
fees in other places without
holding news conferences. The
inference is that he is eager
to keep his views before the
people of the world.
In many other ways, too. the
new Eisenhower" is trying to
win friends and influence people
for his ideas.

said, "fearleSsly exposed him

ing heroism, CALAMITY led them

Gen. Shoup'S reputation in
the corps as a man OF few

with reporters after yester-
days announcement.
Reporters. notinr that he

was near or far sighted. He
answered with one word:

Hobby? Shooting"
Asked about his favorite
hobby, he gave reporters
another one word reply:
Shooting"
Shooting at what? The gen.
eral didn't say.
But when pressed for more
information about this interest,
Gen. Shoup said that when he
heard recently that a Marine
Workmanship team had won
a championship, he felt so Eek

fired 80 rounds in the air .
Beyond that. his recreational
interests run to chess, checkers, /

them. j
The only information about
himself that Gen. Shoup VOL
unteered without prompting
from newsmen yesterday was
what his first thought was after /
being informed that he would
be the next commandant.
Formula for Success
Said Gen. Shoup. appearing
to be quoting from an I'M
identified source:
MAN can gain a consider-
able height in life, if he has
an angel for mother and an
angel for a wife
He is known in the corps as
an officer who can be tough on
inefficiency. and who doesn't
waste words any more than he
would permit the MARINES TO
waste money while he was
fiscal director and inspector
general of the cops. !
The general was graduated
from DePauw University in
Greencastle. Ind, in 1926, where
he enrolled in the Reserve Of

Editorial


AND GOOD ! M WAS HAD BY ALL
WELL, WE CAN all stop for a while and catch our
breath. First, it wa the Thanksgiving Day holiday,
which set the pace, and following hard on its heels the
jubilant and joyous Christmas season. And to top it all
off came the Three Kings Day celebration marking the
close of the Christmas Festival.
LOOKING BACK over it, and regardless of the
angle, the whole thing was grand and glorious. The
lights, the display windows in many stores, the gaily de-
corated Christmas trees, were but the outward signs of
a feeling OF good will that ran high. But this Christmas
season saw more.
NO N WILL disagree that perhaps the high
point Of the whole period was the Pilgrimage from
New York, which brought sixtyseven Virgin islanders
and others on a special holiday trip to these shores. 1t
was well planned, and carried out with a minimum Of
friction, thanks to the work Of Ashley /. Totten and his
immediate supporters, and the careful insight of local
groups who picked up the ball and carried it success
fully on this side.
PERHAPS AS time passes a steady stream of visit
ors will take advantage of the pilgrimages and come to
visit with us. Perhaps the Festival will grow into an in
ternational affair. Who knows! But that would be just
fine, and while that is not the primary objective, it
could be a good thing for us all.
g. LUZ JAMES and Uric Benjamin, co-chairnen
of the Festival Committee, deserve generous praise
and appreciation for the excellent work they did. After
all, such tasks are purely gratuitols, and actually cause
a drain on the time, the energy, and other resources Of
those publcspirited citizens who undertake these tasks.
With these gentlemen were others Of the Commit
tee who did their work behind the scenes, and who also
made sure that the Festival and everything connected
with it would go well.

A recent issue of AutOmOtive
News, predicting the imports
will tackle the Big 3 head-on,"
says when the domestic smaller
cars make their debut they
may find that an ambush has
been skillfully prepared"
The publication says the Big
3 has recognized it will have to
do battle with the established
Rambler and the rising Lark.
But up until now. the Big
| 3 has not expected much direct
competition from imported
makes because the most popu-
lar foreigners are considerably
smaller"
Events of recent weeks show
growing girding for that bat
tie on the part of the imported
cars.
One is the expanded Inter-
national Automobile Show in
New York's Coliseum, which
runs through the 18th, featur-
ing a never before shown
sports car with the honored
name of Daimler.

view, as the European small

"any new Detroit smaller car
will not detract from sales of
the British small car, but will
rather detract from the sale OF
| the present American medium
sized cars"
