The answer to this question is unmistakably clear: The people do NOT want President Eisenhower to appoint the man he defeated in the last two elections to a "high government post." The people who call themselves Republicans are strong against the idea. Many more Democrats are for the idea than against it, but the Democrats against it. plus those who "don't know," are enough And a to balance even the Democrats at no more than fifty-fift- y. themcall who those comes from among big vote against the idea the selves Independents.

THE SECOND PROBLEM IS WHAT WE SHOULD DO WITH DEFEATED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. Ever since 1952 we've had two men in each category: Hoover and Truman as Thomas E. Dewey and Adlai Stevenson as candidates. Hoover and Truman are perhaps too old for the active political arena but Dewey and Stevenson are both young men by political standards. Each major political party has a man eminent enough to have been nominated for the Presidency and to win the votes of millions of people, yet both of them are politically out of a Job What about this? Recently we did a quick survey across the country of what people thought about the future of Adlai Stevenson. This was the question we asked: "Some people have said that Adlai Stevenson is too rood a man for the nation to lose, even though he lost the election, and they would like to see President Eisenhower appoint him to some higrh government post. Would you like to see Eisenhower appoint Stevenson to such a Job, or do you think tt would be Predicted Easing of Money Market Expected to Spur Home Construction ;:s:i::-Nfc-::-:- ; Hr By ELMO ROPER and ASSOCIATES Two political problems get talked about a lot in this country, but nothing ever gets done about them. THE FIRST PROBLEM IS WHAT WE SHOULD DO WITH OUR It has been widely suggested that they should have a voteless seat in the Senate for life after they retire or are defeated, but the Senate itself does not seem to like this idea, In it perhaps because it thinks that even a voteless chamber would wield a vague but undesirably heavy Influence. So K KS7 SUNDAY. MARCH Utah County, Utah 75,000 who might have been saved by earlier diagnosis and treatment. That's about as much political confusion as we should have.' Past Experience Not Encouraging The 1956 campaign was, after all, a pretty bitter one: the idea that its chief rivals should now be able to work harmoniously to- gether may be asking a little too much. After Franklin Roosevelt defeated Wendell Willkie in 1940 he did ask Willkie to make a world tour to emphasize the political solidarity of the United States in a world at war. But, although Willkie behaved like a model of the "loyal opposition" and came back to throw all his weight heavily into the "One World" proposition that many of his party were against, his situation was always an awkward one. Perhaps some people remembering this, and that Willkie's compliance with the President's request was, to say the least, not very stimulating to a lot of Republicans, some of whom thereafter remained permanently bitter against Willkie. The way parts of the country differ on this question is peculiar. The appontment idea does not get a majority vote anywhere, but the vote is closest in the Republican East, and there is least enthusiasm for the idea in Stevenson's own Midwest, and in the South which gave him his solid est bloc of votes But this cannot be Interpreted as a vote coming from Democrats who would want their leader to stay aloof from Eisenhower, because, as we saw at the beginning, the opposition came from Republicans and Independents more than it came from the people who voted Democratic. Adlai Out Of The Picture In the spring of 1952, Adlai Stevenson was almost completely a political unknown. In the fall of that year, after a brilliant campaign, he won more popular votes for President than any man in history before him except ony for Dwight D. Eisenhower. But now, less than six months after his second defeat, the public seems to be putting him on a back bench. Yet he remains a very important man to America. Anyone of comparable importance in Europe would still have his parliamentary seat from which to speak and act. Here, he is now a man without a forum; the choice of over 26 million people for the Presidency, about whom the nation now in effect shrugs its shoulders. When the Democrats were in power, Thomas E. Dewey suffered the same fate. Of all the odd facts in our American political life, this is one of the oddest. with 1 Ball Point i 1 Balance She's thrown verything in our budget out of kilter . . .
