Show spa rants Efa WALTER SHE AD Ike Reluctant; Taft Works Hard for Party Nomination , tJS By BAUKIIAGE " k WASHINGTON. Back before World War II started, I attended a party given by Mark Woods, (my present boss). One of the guests, with whom I had been associated on the Farm and Home Hour came to me and said: I want you to neet my brother. Hes a lieutenant colonel in the army, and I think hes going places. 1915. Point in War I, he reached a In World cololieutenant nelcy but after the armistice to his pe r m a n ent rank of captain, fie soon was promoted to a major (boosts were slow in those days) and remained a major until 1936. From then until the time I met him at that party, he was a lieutenant colonel. Two years passed and then things began to happen: Colonel In 41; upped to brigadier general the same year; major general in 1942; commanding general of the European theater of operation; then, in 1945, lieutenant general and commanding general, Allied forces in the European theater now, president of Columbia university (or maybe something bigger) to be. Milton Eisenhower was right when he said his brother was It Is in the vogoing places. luminous volume "My Three Years With Eisenhower by Harry Butcher, his naval aide, he that the chart appears, graph shows at its peak the rank of four - star general. Butcher Jokingly plotted the curve (down) after that point, to zero. Eisenhower immediately drew a fishing poie at the nadir, thus expressing his hopes. , were wrong. The government pinned a fifth star on him. and the fishing pole has been transmuted into a cap and gown, as symbol of his new rank when he switches bosses from Mars to Minerva. But if certain boosters have their way, the line on the chart may move upward again. I havent heard what the general's deep-dowplans are, but from what I hear, the fishing pole is still the final objective, and he doesnt necessarily mean fishing from a presidential yacht. Meanwhile, brother Milton Eisenhower has "gone places, too. He's also a president president of Kansas State college, and very happy there. It was rumored that if he should "choose to take a post which had been suggested for turnback m the department of agriculture (as secretary this time), when and if Clinton Anderson moved elsewhere, and thus became a member of the Truman cabinet, it would mean that his brother was not considering a new job. Both n record in the last congress reveals. But that isnt all. "One of Tafts critics, fully cognizant of the Republican policy leader's achievements, said that his intellectual judgments "ran ahead of his practical application of them. I suppose the critic meant that for all Tafts powers of reasoning, scholarship and tremendous ability to acquire knowledge and weigh facts, he sometimes appears to allow his hereditary viewpoint rather than his acquired conclusions to guide his course. Taft is naturally conservative and sometimes, I am sure, he has been intellectually persuaded as to the validity of certain measures, but has been unable to support those measures fully because of this inborn conservatism. To those who know Taft even more than casually, he is cool, rarely unbending, legalistic. He can prove himself, however, as even the least sympathetic newsmen on his recent trip admit, affable and approachable. Also, he has that on many occasions so useful acquisition, (especially when chaperoning a flush), the poker face. Even his smile, which U overworked, becomes a bit rubbery, doesnt always dispel this impression. Although he inherited from his father, William Howard Taft, a tremendous capacity for hard work and a conservative point of view, he lacks the robust geniality conveyed by the Elder Tafts smile and laugh. bob-taile- d Robert Unfortunately, to re- lieve a certain aloof remoteness of manner and expression. He is and by no means a glamour-boy- , he knows it. One time when and Democrats were gathered at some clambake in New England, and the raillery became a little personal, Taft challenged the Democrats to a beauty contest.
