I wish that you people could have lunchattended that eon at the National Press club when Gen. Dwight Elsenhower spoke and his successor, Gen. introduced Omar Bradley, as chief of staff. . . It was a good talk, sad yon probably read 'the report ef It. " Toe also probably have read the report of the qeeetiea and an- wer period which General Eisenhower permitted, and which was one ef the best news conference t thats what it turned eut te be that I ever have attended. Members who couldnt get in were standing up, cocking ears, 13 to IS deep outside the entrances to the dining room. Naturally some questions dealt with the Eisenhower withdrawal statement issued late in January. The night after the Eisenhower withdrawal, which most Republicans and Democrats considered ss final, I happened to be with two dieRepublicans, who hard, right-winwouldn't even admit they were as happy aa they were. They kept saying, why couldn't he have said that much earlier if he meant it, and anyhow he has left a loophole so he can run, if not now, in 1952. I couldnt tea that 1 knew a lot of Republlcani thought Eisenhowers letter was tn absolutely honest statement, dictated by the reasoning of an honest man, untrained in politics, it Is true, but speaking from his heart There Isn't space to repeat Eisenhowers long statement in which ha said, among other things: 1 am not available for and could not accept nomination for high political office. , . .

General Sherman aald: "I will not run if nominated and will not aerve if elected,.. But what motivated Sherman . . . and Eisenhower? The sincere bebef expressed in Eisenhowers statement that a man tit purely military training wasn't equipped for the job? (That statement. as you know, was thrown bflek at Elsenhower as a sideswipe at Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who has emphatically NOT caid that he didn't choose to run.) I have spoken of the Eisenhower family at some length before In this column. I do not claim to be more than an acquaintance. But, as I said, when General Eisenhowers statement came over the wire, I was, firmly convinced that there wasn't any equivocation in it. And I am glad that the press and their friends heard Eisenhower answer the qbea-tion- s as he did, giving back steel for steel on every throw. There was a big sigh of relief, of course, when the Republican and Democratic leaders knew Eisenhower was out. I felt the same way, but for a different reason. My reason for being glad that Eisenhower Isnt going to be President as he would have been on any ticket If he had run is the same reason he put forth. I have tremendous respect for him, personally, professionally. I am not a professional soldier, but my experience as a wartime toldier la reinforced by an Indirect Impression of military thought which goes back for mar generations in my ... Stassen has certain qualities of leadership with which he seems to have impressed the people Interviewed by the Roper pollers. But unless Stassen could "sweep the primaries Im frankly quoting my chief crystal-gaze- r he hasnt a chance at this writing. There doesnt seem to be a chance of his sweeping the primaries, and anyhow there aren't many states which have adopted this device, which it was thought could beat the smoke-filleroom. Now, the man who Is going to be Dominated Is the man who wins in the contest (always, as of NOW). That doesn't mean it will be Taft or Dewey. But it does mean that It will be the man who, although be hasn't enough votra an this prelim, can pick up enough independent votes In later contests to see him through. At the present writing, it looks aa it there were enough of those changeable votes to nominate . Dewey. If Its neither Dewey nor Stassen, the wise guys in Washington say it will be none other than Speaker Joe Martin, who never insulted anybody and baa more friends In and out of Washington than a winner in a crap game when everyone else Is broke. Without ever pulling any rough stuff, Joe Martin has put more people under willing obligation to him than sny man I know in congress. when the For example fight was at it hottest, a d Taft-pewr- y Taft-Hartl- certain Republican congressman came to Joe and said: Im sorry, Joe, Ive got- to bolt.

Not long ago there was one of those big parties here, periodically thrown by various visiting firemen. It was a regular stampede, but some way I managed to back Joe Martin into a corner with my, .two assistants. Joe is a Washington-wis- e bachelor, and these two women are not lacking in either brains or pulchritude. Theyd both met the speaker before, more or less professionally, anyhow rather formally. This wasnt formal. Neither of them is a Republican. Like me, and all other Washingtonians, they are voteless and more or less neutral between the parties. Both of them fell for Joe Martin hard. And it wasn't because it is Leap Year and Joe is a bachelor. They are both happily married (the only kind of assistants my wife and I hire). At any rate, Joe Martin is a good dark horse to watch. - born-and-br- SCIENCE STILL RKO-release- MARGARINE STRATEGY Rep. Edward A.

West aid he spent four and one-hayears in the army, including overseas service in World War II, reenlisted December 15 in the army air corps and has been stationed at Lowry field in Denver. West said he went to Montrose, Colo., to visit friends. There, he said, he stole an Oldsmobile sedan from Sam Trujillo and drove it to Amarillo, Tex., where he abandoned It at a filling station and hitchhiked to Kansas City. Sam is one of my best friends, West told police. I dont know why I ever stole his car unless Its because I have a war neurosis I have headaches and things like that. After arriving here, Wests conscience began to trouble him, he told police. He said he was unable to sleep and arose, dressed and went to the federal courthouse determined to confess and surrender. A guard over there told me to come back later when some of the federal agents would be there, West said. I went back and confessed and they didnt seem to believe me. Someone gave me a dollar and told me to go out and get me a good breakfast. I did, and went to a movie, but I couldn't forget about that car and about being almost AWOL from the army. West said he returned to the federal building, intent on' making another attempt to convince agents he' had stolen a motor car.
