Candidate Eisenhower
By WADE JONES
NEA Staff Corrsepondent
CHICAGO—(NEA)—In Dwight
D. Eisenhower, the voters of Am
erica are well aware they’ve been
given as Republican presidential
nominee one of the world’s great
military figures, ornamented by
one of the world’s great grins.
They're not yet just sure what
el°> they've been given.
Until six months ago people
didn't even know whether Ike
was a Republican or a Democrat.
Then he had to make a special an
no'ncement to tell them.
Here he is running for the high
es¢ political office in the land, yet
in the last 10 years he’s spent as
ymuch time out of the country as
he has in it.
V7hen he came home from Eu
rope a little over a month ago
to campaign for the nomination,
he didn’t return to mend his po
litical fences. He didn’t have any
to mend. He came back to build
them, from scratch.
*® * *
The eontradictory Kansan head
ed the greatest silitary force of
all time in the World’s greatest
war. But he’d never led troops
on ydpbattlefield, he’d never killed
a man, and so far as is known
he'd never fired a shot in anger.

He didn't intend to make sol
diering a career even when he en
tered West Point. He was just
poor and it was a way to get a
free education. And his gentle,
religious mother wept when he
got the military academy appoint
ment.
} Here is a man who in one sen
tence gent a half-million men into
i the horror of battle, and in the
next began a search in wartime
Italy for a little girl whose tailor
father back in America was wor
ried about her.
Here is a man, a professional
soldier all his life, who right out
in public wili speak with such
feeling on things that tears come
to his eyes. .
And all this from a man who
is a pretty fair free-style cusser
in any league, but who at the
same time is religious in a way
no one can doubt. Yet he isn’t a
regular churchgoer. l

He probably knows more
world bigshots personally and
well than any other man alive,
yet he remains as Kansas as corn.

Ike has told friends he thinks
of himself as a middle-of-the
roader, but he doesn’t say what
road and he dosen’t say who is
traveling to the right of him and
who to the left.
When he was president of Co
lumbia University after the war
he made a speech at the Wal
drof-Astoria and said that some
people were placing too much
emphasis on personal security at
the expense of individual liberty.
For this the Columbia student
newspaper, the Daily Spectator,
took him to task. Ike said some
thing to the effect that people who
should be satisfied with beer and
hot dogs wanted champaigne and
caviar. /
To this the Spectator replied,
“Being content with beer and hot
dogs has never been part of the
American tradition we know.”
* ® -
But at other times he has given
big business a jolt. Speaking at
Columbia in 1948 he talked about
the “danger” that could arise
from “too great a concentration
of finance”. And he lashed out
at business “greed.”
He is strongly against what he
calls socialized medicine. On
federal aid to education he is in
favor of helping any part of the
country which doesn’t have the
means to, educate its children
properly, but he would oppose
legislation which would put
“Washington bureaucracy” into
education.
On foreign policy he would “go
any place in this world” to talk
to Stalin if he thought it would
do any good. But he believes the
best chance for peace will come
by confronting Russia with areas
of strength throughout the world.
He would not back the present
FEPC program because he objects
to the part of it that is “federal,
compulsory.” But at the same
time he proclaims his ‘“unalter
able support of fairness and
equality among all types of Amer
ican citizens.”
John (Inside) Gunther, in his
book, “Eisenhower,” says that
Ike’s chief defect, both in gen
eral and as a presidential candi

as reasons for Ike's success by a close boyhood friend.

“This in turn,” Gunther writes,
“connotes lack of depth. He has
little talent for abstract thought,
and seems to lack a fixed body
of coherent philosophical belief.”
The fact remains that a lot of
people today don’t know as much
about Eisenhower as they would
like to. And in the absence of
specific answers, these people
would do well to look at the home
life and boyhood environment
which produced the man, because
to a striking degree he is a read
ily identifiable product of that en
vironment.
For instance, those who believe
Ike hasn’t taken a strong enough
stand in favor of FEPC should
know about the incident more
than 40 years ago on the Abilene
high school football field. Two
of the players of the Abilene team
had balked at playing another
team, pne of whose members was
| a Negro.
! Ike, a star of the Abilene team,
hit the ceiling. If his teammates
refused to play against a Negro
then he, Ike, was turning in his
suit. And he proceeded to back
up his stand with a rousing dec
laration on race relations. He
won. And a few years later a
Negro was playing on the Abilene
team.

Local Man Kills
Deadly Rattler
A diamond back rattlesnake,
sporting eleven rattles and a
button, was brought to the Ban
ner-Herald office yesterday morn
ing by J. B. Alford, of Whitehall.
. Measuring three feet and four
inches in length, the snake was
killed by Mr. Alford on the Lonnie
Green farm on the Barhett Shoals
Road as it tried to cross the road.
Mr. Alford used a rock to bat
ter the snake’s head from its
body. He then tied the snake to
the radiator grill and drove to the
newspaper office.
( - Though the snake was headless
and had been killed some thirty
minutes before, it was still shaking
those rattles and going through
the motions of striking.
English name of one of Ala
' bama’s most learned Indians, Se
quoyah, father of the Cherokee
’ alphabet, was George Guess.
First pure nickel coin ever is
sued was a 20-centime piece
minted in 1881 by Switzerland.
