" :d States Negotiations are also under way for the best television hours for the presidential broadcasts One matter remains unsettled — the point cf origin of the broadcasts Even before his recent illness a stop television campaign had been planned for the President but in the last few weeks before his sudden operation the President had begun acting like a warhorse scenting battle and the campaign plans were revised: to allow for a number of airborne forays to the hustings Whether this" will happen again in the new circumstances remains to be seen But the planners hope that: the President will fly to key points especially Chicago and New York for at least two or three of his broadcasts of- u i 'i o — President Eisenhower will announce that he is still a candidate even before he leaves Walter Reed Hospital if the confident expectations of the Republican high command are fulfilled The reasons for making such an announcement immediately will certainly be urged on the President as soon as he is well enough to discuss the matter if they have not been already These reasons are obvious enough Another long period of speculation about the President's intentions like that which followed the President's heart attack last autumn would have the most damaging political effects It would generate anew the old subsurface divisions in the Republican party Most of all weeks of sucn speculation would focus all attention on the "health issue" which is the last thing the Republican leadership wants His top advisers express absolute confidence that the President agree that the matter must be disposed of immediately for national and international as well as political reasons They are sure that in the next few days he will either issue a statement announcing his continued candidacy or authorize Presidential Press Secretary James Hagarty or another high administration official to do so in his name will-he-won't-- so-call- w-il- l Tllllll : - ' ( Ji 1 In fact the confidence that the President will soon authorize a "positive" statement is so absolute that it suggests that the President may already have indicated his intention not to withdraw At any rate there is not the slightest visible tendency even to consider altering the present Republican campaign plans And these plans are geared in every possible way to an Eisenhower candidacy Word has already gone out for example that the San Francisco convention will be limited to three days instead of the traditional four or five The whole convention has been planned in advance in remarkable detail end the proceedings are tailored to lead up to the dramatic climax of the President's acceptance speech The whole campaign thereafter will be built wholly around the President The highlights of the campaign are to be a small number of major presidential radio and television broadcasts probably six The subject matter of these six broadcasts is already being carefully canvassed and some initial rough drafting has actually started Each of the broadcasts is planned to last a half an hour but the President himself is expected to take not more than 20 or 22 minutes of this time The rest will be devoted to giving the broadcasts variety and pace with interchanges between the non-whistl- e OTHER ASPECTS Other aspects of the camnaim have also been in surprising detail The vice president's campaign which will be managed ior the first- time by contractors For example Air Force contractors spend millions more to promote the Air Force through the Air Force Assn Navy contractors also help subsidize the Navy League which puts out propaganda The cost of alt this propaganda of course comes indirectly from the taxpayers through defense contracts The contractors actually set aside a portion of their defense profits to buy advertising and openly take sides in the Force feuding As private companies they are not restricted by the Pentagon rules against feuding Thus the services get the benefit of this indirect publicity without having it charged against their publicity budgets Congressman Patterson has obtained a confidential breakdown of how much defense money was spent on armed services adver- tising in 1954 Here are the amounts some of the biggest defense contractors spent in that year: United Aircraft Corp $642-83Army-Navy-A- hands GOPGO ROUND prominent Republican who's grumbling about Ike's physical fitness to run again is Congressman Clarence Brown of Ohio — and he's grumbling only in private Clarence said that the operation was the last straw and Ike' should withdraw from the One ir race GOP National Chairman Len Hall is talking and acting as if Ike's ileitis was no more serious than a simple stomach upset for the San Fran- t Preparations Cisco convention are going ahead as scheduled A convention ar- rnnrpmenK rnmmitf p will hm in 3 Washington June 22 to make final It won't so much 4 preparations as consider the possibility of a 8 S515-18r Corp Douglas Aircraft Co $341-80Boeing Airplane Co $299-42- 5 General Electric $253823 Grumman Aircraft Engine Corp Lockheed Aircraft $227043 Corp $179531 General Dynamics Corp $174425 Bell Telephone $118835 General Motors $121247 Aviation Republic $144725 Since the bulk of business of several of these companies is Borg-Wame- from the armed services probably didn't need much zine advertising at all HOTHEADED contest At the White House all aides are giving out the same rehearsed line — namely that Ike took his intestinal condition into consideration when he made his original decision to run therefore he should be healthier and more inclined than ever to run In brief they argue that Ike is really healthier for having had the operation There's no explanation for the fact that the Presi" dent's recent medical examination overlooked his stomach ailment which the White House now says Ike knew he had White House aides say that the lice was not the brainchild of the BBD&O advertising firm which advises both the Republican National Committee and the White House on public relations A couple of BBD&O boys admittedly visited the White House around the time of the President's attack but White House aides say they had nothing to do with this new theory they maga- "top-to-toe- MAYOR" Norris Poul- son now mayor of Los Angeles almost caused an international incident when he got sore at the Mexican consul general in Southern California and accused him the national committee is being of running narcotics across the Mexican border carefully blocked out already It all happened when Mayor And ' a series of Poulson who can be both genial "spots" introduced by the Presi- and hotheaded asked Consul Gendent and presenting in serial eral Adolfo G to give form the achievements of the!
