INTERPRETING THE NEWS Estes, Adlai Want Ike To alkOn ecrd By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst PRESIDENT EISENHOWER and the leading candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination are in agreement about one thing. Kefauver and Stevenson say it is fitting that Eisenhower should be the one to expound on his administration's record, and he says that's exactly what he's going to do. The President's announcement that he was willing and felt him- sel fable to undertake another term came as no surprise. It had been discounted during the two weeks since his doctors said heshould be able to carry on the job for "5 or 10 years" more. He wouldn't say whether he wanted Vice President Nixon again. { Y, MARCH 1, 1956 NIGHT EDITOR: JANET REARICK 'Most Important Veep' Candidate Should Be Gov. Herter ND NOW who do the Republicans nomi- nate as their vice-presidential candidate? The United States voters know President isenhower is in questionable health. If he uns for President, his running mate will* as- ume more importance than any Vice-Presiden- al candidate in the history of United States lections. Motivation for Eisenhower's decision to run gain should not be questioned. The President eighed the health factor against his duty to he country for several weeks. His desire to ontinue his work of the last four years in both )reign and domestic fields proved overwhelm- ng. He realized clearly the people would elect o one else to maintain the Republican philos- phy. Whether Eisenhower hopes to spend another .ll term in office or not, the people are still oing to look at realities. The President has een practically inoperative since Fast Septem- er and for psychological reasons as well as hysical he will likely never return to his robust re-hear attack days. Also Democrats will men- .on that in good health or not, no President has ved past his 70th birthday. Ike will be past O before a second term would close. That Eisenhower might not live four more ears is crucial in selecting the vice-president ominee. But more important the Vice-Presi- ent may have to assume many of the essential adership functions of the President from the art. The nation's columnists have lamented ecently lack of direction from the top. Cabinet iembers apparently are operating in 11 differ- nt directions and not only the American people ut our foreign neighbors are extremely con- used over what exactly is United States polciy. F EISEHOWER must continue to lead at half- speed, the man to pick up the slack is the ice-President. Chaos over Arab arms, vague pproa hes to Russia's new economic emphasis i foreign policy and irresponsible "brink of war" diplomacy demonstrates need for strong leadership. Despite Ike's health it will be difficult for Democrats to beat him. Democrats selfishly desire a weak running mate for Ike; the Re- publicans want the most satisfactory man for the Right-wing of the party. But its everybody's concern who runs for Vice-President. The United States needs a leader. Eisenhower doesn't need the vote pull from his running mate. He won in 1952 and if he wins again in 1956 it will be on his own record. The President reportedly leans to Dick Nixon. His inadequate leadership as Vice-President, his name-calling, and such antics as his recent attempt to reap political benefit from the Southern segregation problem make Nixon a questionable choice. Knowland, Knight and Dirksen are too right-wing to be accepted even by the Republicans. Chief Justice Warren's liberalism is too cru- cial to the Supreme Court. ONE MAN REMAINS, probably acceptable to the Republicans, and as close to Eisenhower in philosophy as any GOP possibility. This is Christian Herter, governor of Massachusetts. Herter is not known nationally. Vote-wise he wouldn't be an asset to Eisenhower, but Eisen- hower shouldn't need votes. Herter is experi- enced in Massachusetts politics and served as a representative to the United States Congress for ten years. At 60 years old, Herter is not a budding young hopeful. But his moderate liberalism puts him as close to the ideal Eisenhower philosophy as any prominent Republican. The GOP still has five months to prepare a Vice-Presidential candidate. - It shouldn't be a bouquet to a disappointed Presidential hopeful this year. Regional considerations should also be subordinated. This year Republicans have a responsibility to select their best available leader to run for Vice-President. Christiar- Herter should be given serious consideration. --DAVE BAAD, Managing Editor I IT 7 i x 7 s' a t lo, Es srA t MOfacokmy ALNSAMA F4 .i rig .LirP V// ir.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Justce Dept. and Civil Rights By DREW PEARSON> A IN THIS CORNER: y For Democrats Bly MUJRRY FRYMEIR DEMOCRATIC leaders choked silently yester- day, then announced that it was only fitting that it be President Eisenhower who defends his administration's policies and records in the coming elections. Nevertheless, most Democrats, even proud Harry Truman who stormed "we can beat any- body" did not welcome Eisenhower's candidacy. He was the one man who could beat them in 1952, and he is the one man who can beat them in 1956. With his announcement, the Republi- can party suddenly molded into a firm and united power. All of the recent GOP 'mistakes' in foreign policy suddenly assumed minor im- portance. Even the current farm bill in Con- gress no longer seems the bombshell'it was. The important thing is the man.- % Personal magnetism has always been an im- portant asset to a Presidential candidate. In 1952 Eisenhower ran and won an election on little more. He did have optimistic answers to some vital issues, the most important an end to the Korean war. But most important the people felt the warmth and leadership they missed in the Truman administration. Eisen- hower had led multi-national forces in bringing. this country to peace in 1945. This was what the people wanted. Now, despite 1952 Democratic predictions that the shine would wear off the Eisenhower' glory, the President has lost little of his former appeal, probably he has gained. His United Nations proposal for inspecting armaments boosted his star high; the first Geneva confer- ence turned it into a shining symbol of the free world's struggle for peace. This is true not only in the United States, but throighout most of the world. Strangely enough, where the Eisenhower ad- ninistration has blundered, Eisenhower the man has escaped unblemished. Dulles, Benson, Nixon took the blame, and when Eisenhower backed them up, it has been excused as a general's duty. Editorial Staff Dave Baad .......................... Managing Editor Jim Dygert ..................................City Editor Murry Frymer ................... Editorial Director When Eisenhower suffered his heart attack last fall, the Democrats believed their big oppor- tunity had coe. The people could be convinced of the administration's weakness, even if Ikel was impenetrable. And so Democratic attacks hit the farm policy, the State Department blun- ders, and Vice-President Richard Nixon's poli- tical slanderings. But Eisenhower has turned what 'seemed weak GOP hopes into popular strength. Al- though the delay in Ike's decision to run was probably honestly based on testing his recuper- ative strength, the delay and the decision have brought him new appeal. Now, he is making a sacrifice for his country, he is running out of a sense of duty despite the danger to his life. Now he is not only a great general, a kind and peace-loving leader, but a noble patriot. That's quite a combination to beat. All the Democratic attacks at the Eisenhower administration may do them little good unless somehow they can be connected with the President. For despite the political facts, the 1956 GOP candidate will be the man, not the party. An attack on the latter may miss the former altogether. So despite the optimistic remarks made by Democrats yesterday, few, if any of them know how or what .can wind~ for them in '56. Steven- son's moderation policy gives them their best opportunity since it best guarantees the South. But the 'man' Eisenhower will have to be attacked, and the President will only be sitting home at his farm with a TV camera and a smile. The economy, despite the farm problem is running smoothly. There is no war, and no great danger of war. If the GOP picks its Vice-Presidential candi- date wisely, Adlai and the -Democrats will be facing a task much more difficult than in 1952.

THE JUSTICE Department is planning to step gingerly into the red-hot racial question in the South with a set of recommenda- tions for law enforcement that will probably make both sides sore. 'The recommendations will be for stiffer protection of the Negroes' right to vote not only in federal but in state and local elections. If approved by the White House, they will be sent to Congress as the re- commendations of President Eis- enhower. As of today, the Justice Depart- ment interprets the President Law as giving the federal government power to intervene solely in feder- al elections. Broadening interven- tion to apply to local elections is sure to set off a furor in some states and will meet vigorous opposition 'in Congress. However, House Republicans have enough votes, if lined up with Northern Democrats to pass such a bill-if they wish. Whether it could get by a Senate filibuster is another matter.a While this legislation is bound to create bitterness in the South, Negroes will claim it does not go far enough. They want immedi- ate intervention in Montgomery, Ala. * * * ATTORNEY GENERAL Brown- ell has now taken a definite and official stand that there is no way the Justice Department could have intervened in the Emmett Till Murder Case in Mississippi. In reply to a letter from Cong- ressman Clyde Doyle (D., Calif.), Assistant Attorney General War- ren Olney, writing for Brownell, states categorically that the Jus- tice Department cannot intervene, also that it cannot inervene in two other Negro murder cases. "Emmett Louis Till was kid- napped and killed by private indi- viduals," Olney wrote Congress- man Doyle, "his body was found within three days of the kidnap- ping and he was not transported across state lines. These offenses were thus violations of the laws of Mississippi only and not of any federal statute. This department, therefore, had no jurisdiction or authority to take any action in connection with the latter and no investigation was conducted." REFERRING to two other mur- ders of Negroes in Mississippi, 01- ney wrote Congressman Doyle : "We assume that the two,'adult Negro citizens' referred to in the fourth paragraph of your letter are Lamar Smith, who was killed at Brookhaven, Miss., on or about August 13, 1955, and the Rever- end George Wesley Lee, who was shot to death at Belzoni, Miss., on or about May 7, 1955. "Preliminary inquiry in connec- tion with the death of Mr. Lamar Smith showed that he was killed not because of the exercise or the attempt to exercise his right to vote, but in a controversy and fight with private individuals over his alleged illegal manipulation of absentee ballots in a purely local election. Such facts, of course, indicate no offense under federal statutes, and this department has hence been unable to take any ac- tion. "EXTENSIVE investigation was conducted in connection with the1 death of the Reverend George Wesley Lee to determine whether he was killed, as had been alleged, because he insisted upon his right to vote or for the purpose of inti- midating others in the exercise of this right. The investigation, despite its thoroughness and dis- patch, has failed, up to now, to es- tablish the truth of such allega- tions, or any violation of federal laws." Concluding his letter, Olney put the Justice Department categori- cally on record for tighter laws to protect Negroes' right to vote. "In the opinion of the Attorney General," he wrote, "existing fed- eral law is not sufficient to pro- tect the right to vote as the same is secured by the Constitution of the United States. Accordingly, the Attorney 'General is preparing to recommend comprehensive leg- islation in this field to the Presi- dent for transmission to the Cong- ress. It is believed that such leg- islation will reach the Congress in time for action at this session." (Copyright 1956, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) THE PRESiDENT made it clear to press and public that he expect- ed his health to be a campaign issue. The Democrats have sid they won't let him off on that. And he says he's not going to quibble about it. The Republicans can now move toward their convention without fighting in public, although t e internal conflict between the Old Guarders and the Middle-of-the Roaders will continue. The Democrats, on the other hand, can be expected to seek more earnestly for solutions' to party divergencies, and for a means of soft-pedaling their pre-convention fight for personal preference, as they train for another bout with the current champ.

He said that, despite his heart attack, "there is not the slightest doubt that I can perform as well as I ever have, all the important duties of the presidency." The President scheduled a radio- television appearance after an- nouncing earlier in the day he would be available for renomina- tion. Eisenhower ruled out any "ex- tensive traveling" or "whistle-stop speaking" in the event of his re- nomination-something that can be taken for granted in the light of his decision to run. He declared: * * * "I SHALL, in general, wage no political campaign in the custom- ary pattern. Instead, my principal purpose, if renominated, will be to inform the American people ac- curately, through means of mass- communication, of the foreign and domestic program this Administra- tion has designed and has pressed for the benefit of all our people; to him that this increased risk "is not great." He added: "So far as my own personal sense of well-being is concerned, I am as well as before the attack occurred." At the same time, Eisenhower said, he must restrict his activi- ties and so, he said: "IF THE REPUBLICAN dele-, gates to the national convention come to believe that they should have as their presidential nominee one who would campaign more actively, they would have the per- fect right-indeed the duty-to name such'"a nominee. "I, for one, would accept their decision cheerfully and I would continue by all means within my power to help advance the inter- ests of the American people through the kind of program that this Administration has persistent- ly supported." Mrs. Eisenhower and the Presi- dent's brother, Milton, arranged to be with him in his office as he detailed for the American people the factors that lay behind he sec- ond term decision, Eisenhower began by saying he reached his decision only after "th mostae,, anddpm,,ft well as ever, Eisenhower said that he "has been doing so for weeks." "Of course," he continued, "the duties of president are essentially endless. "No daily schedule of ap- pointfihents can give a full time- table-or even a faint indication- of the president's responsibilities." He recited some of the many items a president must handle, and said "so far as I am concerned, I am confident that I can carry them indefinitely." He continued: "Otherwise, I would never have made the decision I announced today. "The doctors insist that hard work of the kind I have described does not injure any recovered coro- nary case, if such a recovered pa- tient will follow the regime they lay down. Certainly, to this mo- ment; the work has not hurt me. * * * READINESS to obey the doctors is, out of respect for my present duties and responsibilities, manda- tory in my case. I am new doing so, and I intend to continue doing so for the remainder of my life, no matter in what capacity I may be living or serving. "Incidentally, some of my medi- cal advisers believe that adverse effects on my health will be less midday breather. I must normally retire at a reasonable hour, and I must eliminate many of the less important social and ceremonial activities. Eisenhower wound-up by saying: "As I hope all of you know, I- am dedicated to a program that rigidly respects the concepts of political and economic freedom on which this nation was founded, that holds that there must be equal justice and equality of op- portunity for individuals, that adapts governmental methods to changing industrial, economic and social conditions, and that has, as its never-changing purpose, the welfare, prosperity, and above all, the security of 166 million Ameri- cans. * * '4 "THE WORK that I set out fdur years ago to do has not yet reached the state of development and-frui- tion that I then hoped could be accomplished within the period of a single term in this office. So if the American people choose, under the circumstances I have described, to place this duty again upon me, I shall persist in the way that has been charged by my associates and myself. "I shall continue, with earnest- ness, sincerity and enthusiasm, to discharge the duties of this office. -A -k 'k Debra Durchslag ..................,. Magazine David Kaplan ........................
