Eisenhower Boom

ONCE AGAIN a drive to bring General
Eisenhower to the fore as presidential
timber is in motion. The outcome of this
movement, should it succeed, will be of no
little Inportance to the American people and
the world; for such an eventuality would
mean that Eisenhower could 'very possibly
be our next president.-
At the present time, though, many mat-
ters have to be cleared up before even
such a preliminary step as Eisenhower's
nomination is carried out.
To begin with, we have little information
with which to judge what kind of president
Eisenhower would make. We do know he is
a general with some extraordinary capabili-
ties - World War II proved that. We do
know he is a man alert to the affairs of
the times; and the needs of education in
particular-his stint as Columbia's president
is-proving that. But these two qualifications
are really not qualifications at all.
For the job.of president: of this country
is one that demands more of a political
background than a military one. However,
Eisenhower's military background is not
necessarily against him; it should, though,
serve as a caution sign to those who favor
him.
Secondly, Eisenhower's own attitude to-
ward being a candidate is another matter to

be straightened out. Before the 1948 elec-
tion he said that he was not then, and never
would be, a candidate for president of the
United States. Yet last week Governor Tho-
mas E. Dewey made a statement extollingI
Eisenhower as a man exceedingly worthy of
consideration for the nomination.
This statement in itself means little; but
we must not pass it off as insignificant.
That Dewey's statement had certain politi-
cal implications is almost a certainty; wheth-
er he knows more about Eisenhower's inten-
tions than he has said remains to be seen.
A third incident has served to complicate
the matter even further. Eisenhower is cur-
rently being spoken of as a near "cinch" to
be appointed as commander of the Euro-
pean allied defense program. Should he get
the appointment-and he has said that if
appointed he will accept-and he still has
his eye on 1952, it might not be as easy for
him to resign as observers now say it would
be; and Truman, who cannot help but real-
ize that Eisenhower in the running in '52
would mean Eisenhower in his hair, might
therefore be putting the general in a fix
by naming him to the post.
Then again, it is conceivable that if Eis-
enhower does get the appointment he will
decide to-if he has not already--continue.
his career as a soldier, and thrust off any
aspirations toward the presidency.
Till such a time, then, as Eisenhower il-
luminates the many questions about him,
and we learn the nature of his political sym-
pathies, this rekindled drive to boom Eisen-
hower as our next president will remain

somewhat fruitless.

Dorm Phones
THE CRY for more phones in Lloyd Hall
echoes down the corridor and into at
least two phone booths, devoid of phones, on
each floor of the dormitory. The cry has
been repeated so often in the past year by
both male and female members of the stu-
dent body that it has almost become a
standing joke.
But anyone who has attempted to reach
a resident of the women's dormitories isn't
laughing. The jam-up on telephone service
has ceased to be funny. It has instead be-
come a source of major irritation to some
1500 women on Observatory Hill.
The initial frustration of getting a call
through to a member of Mosher-Jordan,
Stockwell, or Lloyd occurs at the floor level.
At the present time there is one telephone
for each corridor consisting of approximately
thirty women.
Additional telephones on each floor would
absorb that many more calls from the main
switchboard, relieving congestion at this
point by clearing lines for more incoming
and outgoing calls.
The installation of these phones would
not be an impossible feat. In fact, all that
really has to be done is to get the tele-
phones-the booths are there now, con-
veniently used for pencil sharpeners.
Mr. Francis Shield, business manager of
the residence halls, has said that it would
be "unfair" to give Lloyd Hall residents more
telephones than other dormitories. Women
who live in Stockwell and Mosher-Jordan
fail to see his point. They realize that addi-
tional phones in Lloyd would clear the way
for the reception of their calls.
The obvious need for additional telephone
service has apparently been overlooked by a
University committee which claims to have
investigated the situation. The committee,
assigned to check on reports that the three
panel switchboard was inadequate for the
flood of calls it received, visited the switch-
board, probably one dull afternoon. Their
decision was that the switchboard was cap-
able of efficiently handling all incoming and
outgoing calls for the three big women's
dorms.
Maybe the committee could come back
to investigate the situation at a more ap-
propriate time-say Monday or Tuesday
evening from 7 until 10:30. Or better yet,
one of the members might try and call
into the dormitory at this time during a
week night.
Two members of Lloyd Hall who believe
that all this confusion can be easily remedied
have drawn up a petition directed to Mr.
Shiel, reading:
"The present telephone system is inade-
quate. Additional telephones in Lloyd Hall
would relieve congestion at the switchboard,
allowing more calls to come through, thereby
equalizing the number of calls completed. We
therefore petition for additional telephones."
These two people have circulated the
petition throughout all f o u r houses of
Lloyd Hall, and are attempting to form a
central committee to extend the circulation
of the petition to all organized houses and
dormitories on campus. They need the sup-
port of those who would like to see an end
to the perpetual busy signal. They can ob-
tain this support by the number of signa-
tures that appear on the petition.
This is a modern age, and there is no rea-
son why we cannot have modern conveni-
ences. Besides, who can blame a man for
giving up after the fifteenth try?

THOMAS L. STOKES:
Connecticut Race

HARTFORD, CONN.-When you come in-
to Connecticut in this election year, you
are struck immediately by the tumult of a
veritable political and social revolution stir-
redtp by Governor Chester Bowles, formerly
nationally controversial as OPA administra-
tor, in his attempt to impose a new deal-
fair deal pattern on this old New England
state.
Figuratively, it is as if the door of a
blast furnace suddenly popped open.
The Bowles, anti-Bowles battle dominates
politics here, overshadowing other figures
and ssues in an election which is attracting
national attention. For, beyond a Governor,
Connecticut is electing two U.S. Senators
this year and its usual complement of six
House .members which, now are divided,
three and three, between the two parties.
The Bowles, anti-Bowles issue will have
its effect on the outcome here, all up and
down the line. Republicans are concentrat-
ing their fire on him as embodying the
issues' which they are raising against fair
dealism nationally. The contest here is a
good replica, in miniature, of that all over
the nation in this critical year of many de-
visions.
3T IS INTERESTING, too, for another rea,
sor-the personalities, prestige and future
national political potentialities of the three
Democratic figures whose continuance in
public office is at stake. Versatile and tal-
ented amen they' are, much above the cut
of routine politicians, really in the mould
of*career men. Two of them, Gov. Bowles
and his former advertising partner, Senator
William Benton, were both prominent in
business as well as former occupants of high
federal government administrative posi-
tions. The third, Senator Brien McMahon,
also a former federal administrative official
thilae Justice Department, a successful law-
yer, now holds one of the most important
posts in congress as Chairman of the Joint
Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy.
Senator Benton, who was appointed by Gov.
Bowles, his former business partner, to the
seat vacated by former Senator Raymond
Baldwin, a Republican, is running for the
remainder of that term, two more years.
Both Sen. McMahon and Gov. Bowles,
if re-elected, might well. figure in1952
Democratic national politics, joining the
circle of easterners from which a Vice
Presidential candidate, for example, prob-
ably will come if President Truman-from
Missouri-is renominated, and that seems
as certain as anything in politics. Both
are ambitious and vigorous. Henceforth
the Governor's term in Connecticut is to
be 'four years-it has been two; so that
"Chet" Bowles, if he gets by, will occupy
a strategic position.
To unseat the, Connecticut Democratic
trio, Republicans offer a diversified slate,
two with experience in congress, the third
a WailStreet banker.
GOV. BOWLES is challenged by Rep. John
Lodge, member of the distinguished Mas-
sachusetts political family-he is the grand-
son of the late Senator Heni'y Cabot Lodge
and brother of the present Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge. A personable and attractive
figure, who has a polished platform presence

the stage, he is helped among the numerous
Italian voters in this state by his Italian
wife, who is an accomplished dancer and
exhibits her talents at political gatherings.
Senator Benton, the businessman, drew
as his opponent Prescott S. Bush, member
of the Wall Street firm of Brown Brothers,
Harriman and' Company and otherwise
highly connected in business and finance.
He is likewise a man of attractive person-
ality, staunchly conservative, and a Yale
man, and still so professionally-for the
Whiffenpoof song, rendered by a male
quartet, offers a theme song for his ap-
pearances. Senator Benton has his tricks,
too, descending on political rallies from
a helicopter, .from which he is beginning
to incur, in the chill autumn air, chafed
leg' trouble from the wind blowing up
through the floor. He is thinking, about
using some of those old-fashioned bicycle
clips for his trousers if the wind really
becomes sharp.
Sen. McMahon's opponent is former Rep.
Joseph E. Talbot, who strums heavily on
the Communism-in-Government note. Sen.
McMahon is given the best chance to
win of the three Democrats. He has .assum-
ed the role of aloof statesman, talking a lot
about the atom bomb and atomic energy, so
that one Republican quipped that he is
"carrying the atom bomb around under one
arm."

WITHDREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-At the diplomatic recep-
tion following President Truman's ad-
dress to the U.N. General Assembly, Indian
delegate. Jamsaheb stepped up to the Presi-
dent and-surprised him with an on-the-spot
peace proposal.
"Would it not be a"good idea," said the
Hindu diplomat, "to begin the big five
peace talks here and now, Mr. Vishinsky
being in the same room with you, sir?"
"I have Secretary Acheson here for that
job." replied Mr. Truman, slightly taken
aback.
"Quite right, Sir," replied delegate Jam-
saheb with a low bow. "But there's an old
Indian proverb that you can't keep a dog
and do. your own barking."
The President did not seem to catch
the point, and the Hindu ambassador pass-
ed on.
Though what he said was meant in all
friendliness, he had unwittingly touched on
the factthat there had been a lot of offi-
cial barking in Washington before the State
Department and the White House could
reach an agreement as to what the President
should say in his U.N. speech about disarma-
ment. Some advisers protested this was no
moment to talk of anything but arming.
Other advisers agreed that it was necessary
to give Europe some hope for peace. The lat-
ter "hopeful" group finally won out.
PENTAGON INVADED
The Western European ministers of de-
fense are now holding vitally important de-
bates in Washington to plan North Atlantic
defense in case of war. They came prepared
for almost anything, including an invasion
by Russia but not for the invasion of the
press that swarmed over them in the Pen-
tagon.

This was too much.
"Good God," muttered Sir George, stag-
gering under the weight, "How much sup-
port do these Americans want to have !"

NAVY-AIR FORCE ROW
Now that the Korean War is about ove',
the Navy League-civilian arm of the navy
-is stirring up the Navy-air force feud again
and plotting a propaganda campaign that
may blow the lid off unification.
Navy League President Frank Hecht has
been holding closed-door meetings with
Navy partisans across the country to map
strategy for clipping the Air Force's wings.
These meetings are supposed to be highly
secret. However, while on the West Coast,
I learned what happened at a typical meet-
ing in San Diego
It was attended by Navy League members
and high Navy brass, who were notified by
penny postcard. The brass included Vice
Admiral Calvin Durgin, Commander of the
Western sea frontier, and Rear Admiral Wil-
der Baker, commander of the 11th Naval
District.
Hecht 9utlined a secret, three-point plan
of action, as follows:
1. To reinstate Navy day. This was abolish-
ed in favor of Armed Forces day, but now
the Navy wants it back again.
2. To place the Marine Corps commandant
on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This would give
the Navy two votes on the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
3. To take tactical air support away from
the Air Force and give it back to the army.
This would weaken the Air Force.
Hecht urged a campaign in the newspapers
and in Congress to put across these three
objectives. He charged that the "Korean war
