ticket emerged and Al Smith
was prevented from getting
the presidential nomination a
second time.
Richard Nixon, then Sem
ator from California. helped
in 1852 to block the transfer
of delegate strength in that
State from Gov. Earl War
ren to Senator Taft. This
was one of the pivotal battles
of the convention and in ap-
probation, the Eisenhower
managers recommended to
the nominee that he agree
to the naming Of the Cali
foInia Senator for second
place on the ticket.
Conventions are more or
less alike in both parties and
the impression that is some
times sought to be given is
that the American peoples
views about a candidate are
given serious consideration,
when the truth is, nomina-
tions are made as a result
of trading back and forth by
the organization leaders. Gov.
LoveleSs of Iowa says, for
instance, that whatever sup
port Adlai Stevenson has
nowadays comes from uni
versity professors and other
intellectuals but that the
professionals and local ofice-
holders show very little in
terest in him.
AS for being a "two-time"
loser, there will be different
views on the true meaning Of
this in terms of candidates.
Adlai Stevenson ran against
Ike twice, but he would be
running against Vice Presi-
dent Nixon this time and,
if what the Democratic poll
ticians say publicly - that
anyone can beat Nixon
were really true, there would
not be any hesitancy on their
part about letting an out
standing figure in politics try
for a third time, especially
since. even though defeated,
he polled in 1852 more Demo-
cratic votes than either Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Truman did
when each won in 1914 and
1948 respectively.

Possibilities of Uprising by People
Against Cuban Dictator Are Noted

Some 80 years ago Eugene
O'Neill wrote his remarkable
play Emperor Jones, in which
he depicts a ruthless Negro
who became the dictator of a
mythical island in the Car
ibbean. The emperor" op-
pressed whites and Negroes
alike until his once proud and
devoted followers and sub
jectS rose again him. He fed
and was finally dropped by a
silver bullet-the only kind
he believed could kill him.
The O'Neill drama is being
enacted nowsas a reality in
Cuba, but nobody knows yet
what its conclusion will be.
The white dictator Fidel
Castro has almost all the
characteristics of the fantas-
tic Emperor Jones created by
the late American dramatist.
He was brought to power not
by any victories by his band
of rebels but by the intrigues
of the same type of whites"
depicted in the ONeill drama.
No sooner did he reach power
and recognition from the
American Government and a
section of the press than he
started depressing those who
did not join the mobS in
singing his praises.
Peoples courts patterned
after those existing in Com
munist China we're organized
and a reign of terror has pre-
vailed in the once happy-go-
lucky island far exceeding
that of Dictator Batista. Once
internal order was established
Castro proceeded to mulct
the American Capitalists"
by conf1scating their proper
ties and giving them worth
less bonds for a small part
of their value.

short lived. O'Neill did not

What Kind of Bill President Will Sign
Called Question for Republicans

All of a sudden health in
surance for the aged has won
wide acceptance in Congress
as a proved social need and a
political imperative in this
election year. 1t will hold the
center of the stage during
the home stretch before ad-
journment.
The big question is what
kind of a measure can Vice
President Nixon persuade
President Eisenhower to sign.
Up to now, the Bureau of the
Budget has axed every pro-
posal in this field, including
those put forward by Health
and Welfare Secretary Flem-
ming and Republicans in
Congress.
Secretary Flemming, the
Vice President and liberal
Republicans for whom Sena-
tor Javits of New York is a
major spokesman have now
abandoned all pretense that
all is harmony within the
party on this issue. They
want a bill for which Repub-
licans can claim credit.
Senator Javits has intro
duced his own. Secretary
Flemming is trying to come
UP with something on which
the President will allow him
to attach the HEW brand.

The Iowa Governor said
that professional politicians

History offers a bit Of re-
buttal on that point William
Jennings Bryan was nomi-
mated for the Presidency on
the Democratic ticket in 1896
and 1900, and then won the
nomination a third time in
1908. The fact that he had
lost twice didn't seem to dis
turb the politicians, who were
charmed by the silver
tongued orator from Ne
braska.
What the Iowa Governor
hinted, however, about the
behind-the-scenes jockeying
is a far more persuasive
point. He said he did not
expect a deadlock and added:
You do not have dead
locks where there are three
or four strong candidates, be-
cause two or three of the
candidates will be trading
back and forth to make sure
one of them is nominated"

the convention system works.

sections due to the Eisen-
hover veto of a bill to aid
distressed areas.
One Republican who is up
this year believes there will
be a stampede on his side
to sponsor practically any
bill Mr.. Nixon, Senator Nor
ton and Mr.. Flemming pro-
duce.
Similarly Democrats are
insisting that if the Speaker
and Majority Leader john
son can't produce an effec-
tive measure soon they will
get behind the Forand and
other plans now being
shaped on their side. Sen
ator Kennedy has one and
Senator Humprey won't be

Last-minute legislation of
this type is rarely the best
kind. There has, however,
been a great deal of work
done on the problem so that
members of Congress are
well informed about it. Some
are saying their choice will
be the bill which offers the
best choice for later improve
ment and expansion even If
it starts slowly.
Virtually no chance exists
that Congress can avoid a
record vote on the issue. A
social security bill is coming
up and some version Of help

to it if present hopes tor it

Key Man in First Eisenhower Campaign
Now Active in Rockefeller Organization

based on observation during
the 1852 and 1856 campaigns,
that the one person most re-
sponsible for the Eisenhower
campaigns ability to commu-
nicate with the never really
formulated, never-articulate
wishes and yearnings of the
electorate was Mr.. Hughes.
To be sure, he had a powerful
symbol.
1t irritates some Of the
Presidents friends to read or
hear it said that Mr.. Eisen-
hover was, and is, "a father
symbol" But he was, and is.
And there can be no more
priceless political asset in
times of trouble and national
anxiety. (Even in 1852 the
American people were spend
ing more on tranquilizers
than on education.) Gen. Eli
senhower in 1852, and Pres
ident Eisenhower in 1856.
were reassuring figures. The
Eisenhower personality was.
and is, a great rock in a
weary land. Many pilgrims
rest themselves and their
caravans in the shade of it.
But" protest the Presi-
dents friends, "he never ad-
vertised himself as any father
symbol or thought himself to
be-"
And this, of course, is true.
He didn't. But he could not
have prevented the reaction
he inspired. 1t is an intang-
ible quality. In Mr.. Eisen-
hover it was enhanced and
glorlhed by his success as
commander of the Allied
armies which won the war.
1t is not possible to dissect
out this quality and examine
1t at the typewriter on the
editors desk or in the polit-
ical scientists lecture theater.

up. 1t is wrong, moreover. to
assume that four months in
advance of a convention any
candidate can be absolutely
sure of a majority. But when
it comes to trading. that's
the aspect of convention tao
tics about which the public
hears very little. Perhaps
it's because it takes place in
"smoke-filled rooms" at the
convention and in the nu-
merous conferences in the
months before the convention
is called to order.
What is the trading like?
A campaign manager hints
that maybe if candidate "a"
will not let his ballots go to
the leader in the contest,
then candidate "B" will on a
certain ballot throw his
strength to candidate GA"
There is also trading on the
Vice Presidency. While each
aspirant stoutly denies that
he is interested in anything
but first place, his henchmen
are practical men who know
that under certain circum-
stances second place is better
than nothing.
Many a convention has
settled its deadlock by a deal
for second place. Thus in
1882, when Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt of New York was
having a hard time getting
the necessary two-thirds vote
required in those days for the
presidential nomination in
the Democratic Party, his
managers got the conven-
ton to adjourn at a late hour
one night and called for an
early resumption Of the pro-
ceedings. During that inter-
val of a few hours the men
who managed the campaign
of Speaker John N. Garner
and had 80 valuable votes to
give were persuaded that if
they tossed those votes to
FDR. the reward would be

President EiSenhower'S an
nouncement that he will go
to Korea in June, following
his visit to the USSR and
Japan, inevitably recalls the
1852 campaign.
Adlai Stevenson at that
time had discussed announc-
ing he would, if elected, go
to Korea. But he and his
staff decided a statement
of such intention would be
regarded as a theatrical at
tempt at a political coup.
But on the Eisenhower
board of strategists and
soothsayers was Mr.. Emmet
Hughes, then an editor of
Fortune Magazine. He had
more accurately gagged the
mood of the American peo-
pie. They were weary of a
war which they did not un-
derstand and which had
dragged itself bloodily across
so long and grievous a span
of time. The climate of
opinion in America was not
one of thoughtfulness but of
impatience. Mr.. Hughes
wrote a speech.
On October "a Gen. EiSen-
hover said, in a campaign
address:
Where will the new ad-
ministration begin? 1t will
begin with its President TAX
ing a simple, firm resolution.
That resolution will be: To
forgo the diversion of polit-
les, and to concentrate on the
job of ending the Korean
War That job requires a
personal trip to Korea. I
shall make that trip I
shall go to Korea"
Even at that point the
Stevenson campaign was not
making progress. But it was
being heard. From that Octo-
Der "a it did not again sue
ceed in persuading people to
listen. The G.. o. P. tumult
and the shouting grew apace

became almost orgies of adu-

OF New York State. And while
it may be imagination, it

and oratory. The Governor is

Mr.. Hughes, who put into
Mr.. Eisenhower's addresses
the words and moods which
had an undeniable commune
cation with the people who
listened, will have a hand in
Mr.. Rockefeller's. We may
expect some tactical sur
priseS. There will be no at
tack on the administration.
But Mr.. Rockefeller will
stand apart and be seen in
the light of his own candle.
And you want to know
something?
Mr.. Nelson Rockefeller has
something of the quiet calm
that makes many persons
feel that God is in his Heav-

the world. He, too, has a

about him. 1t is not so i'm

conceive that the conspiracy
of international communism
would reach his mythical
Caribbean island. Castro-if
he is not actually the product
OF that conspiracy-hastened
to join it soon after he had
secured the recognition of the
American government.
While seldom a week passes
without some diatribes
against Yankee imperialism"
and threats to the United
States, Castro and his hench-
men are having a delectable
honeymoon with the Chinese,
Russian and satellite Com
munist governments. Chinese
advisers are everywhere in
the so-called Cuban Peoples
dictatorship. Czech and
Polish technicians are pre-

other similar devices for
whatever military plans for
the future may have been

technicians and aimed at
