Suez Canal 1956 Incident Recalled in Lurie
Volume That Excoriates President Nixon
Leonard Lurie, in "The Running '
of Richard Nixon — From Yorba
Linda to Peking — an Uncensored
Account of Nixon's Marathon Run
for the Political Roses." (published
this week by Coward, McCann and
Geoghegan), does not touch at all
on the President's Mideast atti-
tudes, towards either Israel or the
Arabs. But he does touch upon
the 1956 Suez situation.
Discussing the Adlai Steven-
son candidacy and Dwight D.
Eisenhower's campaign for re-
election that year. Lurie writes:
"For a while in September
and early October it looked as
if Stevenson was closing the gap.
However, the outbreak of the
Suez War ended whatever hope
he had for victory. Ike, proving
once again that in a democracy,
decisive action, even if it is
wrong, often wins votes, told the
British and the French he would

1952."

drawing up -in every facet of his-
tory, diggimt up every detail of the
President': early career.
Accuslitit thi• President of pus
ohsessive desire for
power, the author charges that
there were many p•Aitical dealings.
• that the ethical and moral teach-
ings of Mr. Nixon's Quaker up-
bringing were sloughed off.
At the White House conference
for Jewish editors last March, the
President's Jewish advisers—Len
Garment, William Safire and
others—were in evidence, but not
Murray Chotiner. This is the man
who emerges as an evil spirit in
the Nixon entourage.
It is pointed out in Lurie's
story of the President's career
that in the campaign in which
he defeated Congressman Hor-
ace .1. Voorhis—it was Nixon's
first political battle—Murray
Chotiner was the tutor in the
Nixon form of campaigning which
was then formulated. Lurie
writes that the respected, de-
feated Cong. Vooris was
subjected to vicious assaults.
He was smeared as a Communist
sympathized by "an inference
here and an innuendo there."
Thus. Lurie states. "under
' Chotiner's skillful guidance he
had bludgeoned his way into
' Congress."
Again, Chotiner is charged with
having engineered the senatorial
campaign for Nixon when he de-
feated Helen Gahgan Douglas.
The introduction then of the "in-
' famous pink sheet" is described
as "scurrilous political poison"
exploiting the Red Menace. Years
he OlciloN
later, the Lurie account points
out, Nixon admitted in relation
to this incident: "I'm very sorry
about that episode. I was a very
young man. '
The expose of Chotiner is among
the most devastating in the Lurie
book.
Of interest is the resume pro-
vided of the incident on the Lou
Gordon Television Show when the
Detroit television broadcaster ex-
tracted from Gov. George Romney
