BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — (NEA) — “Eisenhower For
President” headquatrers opened here in a $45 a day,
sixth-floor Shoreham Hotel suite, complete with
everything except a candidate.
“ The regular, national headquarters for the new
Crusade in America is in Kansas City, but Wash
ington will be the “working” headquarters, it was
explained.
The Washington quarters consist of a big living
room, nice dining room with bay window, two
bedrooms, bath and kitchen, There is a nice South
ern exposure, Dixiecrats please note,
A few desks have been moved into this plush
vesidential suite, lending a somewhat incongruous
note, The office staff was a little vague on which
desk would be Eisenhower's,
Who is putting up the money for this headquar=-
ters? Pennsylvania’s Senator Jim Duff, who pre=
sided at the opening, said he didn’t know. .
He said it would be necessary to ask Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., of Massachusetts, the cam
paign manager, for details.
Like General Eisenhower, Senator Lodge wasn’t
present at the opening. Clarence V. Beck, former
Attorney General of Kansas, is treasurer of the
Eisenhower campaign. Senator Duff said he was
sure there were no large contributions of money.
Senator Frank Carlson of Kansas wasn’t present
at the grand opening, too. He is to be manager of
the Washington headquarters, But he got caught in
a Kansas snowdrift,
ALL IS ROSY OPTIMISM
There was no indication that this was considered
symbolic or prophetic of the manner in which the
candidate might be buried under a snowdrift of
votes, come convention or election time. Just the
other way around. All was rosy optimism.
Nobody had sent around any flowers, which us
ually go with gala inaugurals. But on the walls
were red and blue posters and streamers, “We Like
Ike!”
And they gave out campaign buttons reading “I
Like Ike.” Things also were cooking in the kitch
enette. Hot coffee for free,
Official campaign literature isn’t ready yet. But
on the walls were a couple of big bulletin boards,
filled with magazine and newspaper clippings.
They were headed, “Inside Ike.” “Why Eisen
hower Will Run.” “Eisenhower Is Available, Says
Senator Carlson.” “Ike For President Opens Los
Angeles Headquarters,” “lke Can Carry Georgia.”
“Eisenhower on First Ballot, Says Senator Lodge.”
A statuesque receptionist named Nancy White,
with a big smile on her face and ribbons in her hair,
decked the ribbons with campaign buttons and
gave the photographers a workout.
Senator Duff, just back from a 20,000 mile tour
of the U. 8. reported a great grass roots movement
for Eiserhower.
Technicolor was really necessary to do justice to
the opening ceremonies. An end wall of the huge
living room was covered by three wide red, white
and blue (artificial) silk drapes, Against the cen
ter white drape was a four-foot-by-six-foot photo
of Ike.
He was in civilian clothes, wearing his famous
smile and looking ever so much like a candidate.
NO COMMENTS FROM MICROPHONES
There were three microphones in front of the
photo, But they never came to life. Not even whis
pered “Yes,” “No” or “Maybe!” The picture gave
only silence. So big Jim Duff served as mouth
piece. :
“Could the General's silence on the question of
nis candidacy be considered as giving his consent
0 the campaign to make him President?” Senator
Duff was asked.
The Senator said “Yes!” He pointed out that in
1948, when the question of Eisenhower's candidacy
came to a head in Vermont, the General issued an
unequivocal statement, taking himself out of the
race. This time there has been no such statement.
But when asked, “What is the most definite as
surance General Eisenhower has given any Repub
lican leader that he would be a candidate?” Sena
tor Duff had to dodge the question. His advice was
to ask Senator Lodge. .
Senator Duff did add, however, that, “If I were
not confident of General Eisenhower's availability,
I wouldn’t be here myself this morning.”
Where would he be?
“I'd be in Florida, fishing.”
The Congress of the United States has proved
itself the line of least resistance to ramwpant infla
tion, and the weakest link in our chain of defense
against Communist aggression. — William Green,
president, AFL.
Qur problem in war or peace is to avoid peaks or
booms or busts like we had in the 20s. There is no
reason why that should happen again—C. E. Wil
son, president, GM Corporation.

Consideration For Others
Is Nearly A Lost Art
A man rushing for a bus caromed off an old
woman and sent her spinnig to the -pavement. He
never turned around to see what he had done.
Exhiblting ancient gallantry, a voung fellow in a
subway train arose to give his seat to a womran
with a baby in her arms. Before she could take it,
another man raced over and plopped down.
A sturdy chap with football shoulders barged
into a car against the tide of passengers getting off.
When a woman complained, he shouted: “If you
want to get off, I'll help you.” Whereupon he
shoved her violently out of the door,
These are only slightly extreme examples of life
today in the hurly-burly of large American cities.
It's fair to ask: “What has happened to our con
sideration of the other fellow?”
Sad to relate, it's not too much in evidence. As
we mill about in stores and offices, on bus, in res
taurants, at theaters and the ball park, many seem
to be forgetting to think beyond themselves.
It really shouldn’t be necessary to have a Cour
tesy Week. The considerate attitude is basic to our
morality, We mrean to dignify human beings in our
society,
« But what goes on these days makes it pretty hard
for a fellow to remember what a privileged indi
vidual he is supposed to be, especially in the big
cities, where population gains have brought pain
ful overcrowding.
The premium goes to the man schooled in elbow
jabbing and expert footwork. If his tactics are good,
he gets a seat in the car, he gets waited on in the
overflowing store, he gets that ticket to a show or
a ball game,
He may not have been first, but he got what he
came for.
The bruising contacts between scurrying humans
in today’'s cities are producing®a people with cal
louses on their souls as well as their elbows. Mod
ern living is brutalizing them.
The competition for space — often just space to
walk—is driving men to acts of primitive behavior
which they themselves barely realize. We have
moved perilously cicse to a herd existence.
You can’t explain it all by overcrowding. London
is the most crowded place in the world, but ask any
traveler and he'll tell you the Londoner is a con
siderate individual who keeps his elbows down and
his temper likewise.
Are we Americans teaching consideration with
the same earnestness we once did? There seems
good reason to doubt it. The job of being courteous
and polite is harder to bring off now than ever
before, yet we almost surely are not drilling home
the habit the way we used to in simpler times.
One considerate man cannot stem the tide. We'd
all better take stock of ourselves aand our fam
lies.
If enough of us do, moving about in public may
once more become an agreeable experience instead
of an ordeal.
Youth Serves
Sandwiched among the usual and unusual mis
doings of the younger generation last week were
three stories which have a heartening—and heart
tugging—effect.
In Oakwood, Virginia, Mrs. Charlie Gilmore re
lated that her son Raymond went into the Army
so that his pay might help to feed his seven broth
ers and sisters and keep them in school. At 19 he
was killed in action in Korea. His GI insurance
policy will provide “the only home we've ever
owned,” Mrs. Gilmore said.
Near Hermiston, Oregon, N. V. Ford was trapped
20 feet below ground while digging a well. His son,
Leon, 18, braced himself against boards above his
father and for seven hours held the earth from
caving in while construction workers rescued him.
At La Canada, California, Jimmy Jones, 8 years
old, phoned the sheriff after he heard a bandit take
his father and mother from their home at night to
open a store Mr. Jones manages. Deputies met the
hold-up man at the store, freed his captives, and
arrested him.
There are times when the harassed parents of
nrany a brood of roistering youngsters would “sell
them cheap.” But give them a few years and prac
tically every one will turn in some worthy action—
most of them a great many.—Christian Science
Monitor.
I don’t think I could ever marry an American
although I am proud to be one myself.—Woolworth
heiress Barbara Hutton after her fourth divorce.
In no country is there such freedom of speech,
freedom of the press or personal freedom . . . as
in the Soviet Union.—Pravda, official Soviet Com
munist Party newspaper.
I never invited Mr. Truman (to my parties) when
he was Senator. . . . I never had anything against
him, It's just that I never thought the Trumans
attracted me. I only ask people that are really ex
citing, — Gwendolyn Cafritz, Washington party
giver,
The spirit of the people of Kansas City in recov
ering from the disastrous flood of the Missouri and
Kaw river has been astounding and revealing.—
Senator James P. Kem (R.-Mo.).
When the Germans see Hitler in old movies, they
laugh exactly like a woman laughs who sees her
formrer lover again.—Jean Cocteau, French writer.

FIGHT DISCOURTESY ITSELF,
NOT DISCOURTEQOUS PEOPLE
By MURIEL LAWRENCE
Some time ago I wrote a column
on discourtesy between parents
and its effects upon their childfren.
Several mothers, worried over
their husbands’ discourteous treat
ment of them, have written me
asking what they can do about it.
“I know our daughter is losing
respect for her father because of
the way he talks to me,” writes
one. “Will T also lose her respect
if he doesn’t change?”
It would be a pretty awful thing
if our children lost respect for us
because someone treats us impo
litely. Children are not that cruel
or stupid. They give high respect
to people who take unkind words
well. If these mothers deal with
their husbands’ behavior intelli
gently, they will increase, not lose
their children’s respect.
If we want to work out the
problem of a hushand’s rude man
ner, we should first make up our
minds not to plead for courtesy,
to argue for it, or indeed to discuss
it at all with him.
When this decision fs made, we
are ready for the next step—a
thorough examination of what it
is we want.
If we conclude that we desire
courtesy itself, rather than a mere
ly courteous husband, we are on
our way. The moment, the very
instant that we see that what we
want removed is discourtesy, not
the husband, we are ready to bat=-
tle discourtesy, not the husband.
This realization is essential to
the solution of our problem.
Once it’s come to us, the way
begins to really open up. Our
frustration is replaced by control.
We take immediate steps to attack
discourtesy in the people for whom
we are responsible—ourselves and
our children.
Here’s the Plan of Attack
This is how we attack:
We ask a husband for a part of
the evening paper and he says,
“For gosh sake, give me some
peace. Buy your own paper if
you want one and leave me alone.”
Do we attack by saying, “Hush,
for heaven’s sak, can’t you talk
decently before the children?” No,
we don’t. We are fighting dis
courtesy in the human being for
whom we are responsible. So we
are not rude to the husband. We
say to him pleasantly, “That’s not
a bad idea. I'll order my own pa
per right now.”
And we do.
If our child is impudent to her
father, we don’t indulge in secret
satisfaction that he’s getting back
some of his own medicine. Consci
ous of our rea! responsibility, we

Unless we attack discourtesy in
ourselves, we cannot possibly per
suade our husband that we don’t
want it. Unless we are eager to de

we expose ourselves to the charge
of inconsistency.
If we do crack down upon it in
ourselves and the children, hus
bands will begin to see that we do
not consider them personally dis
agreeable and unlovable, but that
we do find all discourtesy so dis

Changes in those around us take
