That Is Likely All the Convention
Can Give Him, With Nixon Predisposed

CHICAGO - This Repub-
lican convention has given
President Eisenhower an oya-
ton, drafted a platform
largely dictated by Gov. Mel
son Rockefeller and is about
to nominate Vice President
Nixon. But it has given it's
heart to Senator Barry Gold
water to put among his
souvenirs.
All that remains here is
for the Vice President to tap
his own choice for a running
mate, an act he has said he
would not perform until his
own nomination has been
signed, sealed and delivered.
The impression among
most delegations is that U. N.
Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge is the man. This would
fit the theory developed by
Mr.. Nixon in many private
conversations. which is that
the recurring crises in foreign
affairs offer him his best is
sue in the campaign against
the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.
1t so happens that Mr..
Lodge right now is ably hand
ling the RB-47 incident and
the Congo revolt in fateful
sessions of the U. N. So while
he cannot be here in person,
his presence is very much
before the Nation. 1t is OBJ
viously a perfect setup for a
dramatic flight to Chicago

DAVID LAWRENCE
Eisenhower's Hold on People

tion on Tuesday night could
Mt be couched in the same
phrases that he will use once
the new nominee for Presi-
dent is selected. Then he can
make it more personal and
speak Of Mr.. Nixon and his
capabilities.
But the two main issues of
the campaign turn on the
record of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. Do people have
jobs? Are times good in a
broad sense? Do the people
appreciate the fact that in
the last seven years their sons
have not been engaged in a
war? The last affair-the
Korean War-coSt more than
$4,000 casualties and was
fought 5000 miles away from
the homes of American
families. Will this happen
again?
Some of these questions are
especially influential in pub
lie reaction to the so-called
peace issue. Actually. it's an
issue that has to do with
keeping the boys now being
drafted or the ones who have
served already from being
sent to the front lines of any
war, large or small. The
President has borne the brunt
of international crises for
many years. He has had to
take insults from Mr..
Khrushchev, but these are
minor incidents that can be
tolerated by the President
and the country far better
than the consequences of
any action which could lead
to war.
Mr.. Eisenhower in the
coming campaign will ask
for a vote of confidence in
his administration. He will
point to Richard Nixon as a
man familiar with the de-
tails of the Eisenhower poll
cies in the world and ex-
perienced in the methods to
be used in carrying them on.
The President will argue
against change at this critical
time in history. That's why
Dwight Eisenhower's visit to
Chicago becomes a memoir
able opening of the actual
campaign to obtain at the
polls a vote of approval for
the administration, which
will assert emphatically that
it has brought good times in
an economic sense and has
kept the Nation out of war.

day Congress is heavily Dem

Governors are Republicans.
No Republican organization

South, which broke ranks

Nixon will work hard and

The Presidents farewell is
the current convention dra-

up the Nixon package, was
an anti-climax.
The ritualistic effort to
persuade Gov. Rockefeller to

it is probable that few poll

of the ferment in India, in

This is an odd man who
makes neither real war nor
real peace with the Republi-

what politics is really like is
surely very slight.

Big Demonstration by. Million in Chicago

CHICAGO-The man who
holds the key to the national
election this autumn came to
town and was cheered by at
least a million persons in
perhaps one of the most
significant demonstrations in
American politics.
For If what the critics have
been saying about the Eisen-
hover administration had
really sunk in with the people
as a whole, then there would
not have been the outpouring
OF people and the spontane-
Gus expressions of applause
noted here.
Dwight Eisenhower, it will
be said, has always been a
popular figure and some have
argued that, while this won
campaigns for him, he can.
not transfer his strength to
anybody else. History doesn't
agree with that appraisal.
This writer remembers how

strength even to the color

slide in electoral votes known

he served the public interest
by keeping the Nation out of
war. Though a military man

saber-rattling and instead

AS for the economic situa-

this way:
The economic story can
