the public power program has been extended extended extended ex ex- II tended step by step to the point of peril perU to legitimate free enterprise and free labor He added that the mEW had learned through bitter experience that I labors labor's rights are not protected under socialized power A short time ago the Chicago Federation Federation Federa Federa- I Federa-I tion of Labor which comprises some local unions with a a. membership of repealed one of its constitutional constitutional constitutional provisions advocating public ownership ownership ownership own own- of power gas

backers backers of Taft and the backers of Eisenhower are passionately devoted toI to I their causes Both are totally convinced Continued on Page Four I IThe The Boys Col Column mn i Continued from Page One that their man is the best bet bet n not bet riot t only I in his qualifications for the worlds world's most important and exhausting Job but in his ability to win the election I On the Eisenhower side one of the most most potent arguments is that he is the I only available Republican who could unify the country and be virtually sure I of decisively defea defeating Mr Truman or F I any other Democratic nominee Walter Valter I Lippmann put the Eisenhower case well II when he wrote in a a late column A change of party has become most necessary necessary I sary after 20 years The Truman administration administration admin admin- is played out It has lost admin I control control control con con- of or Congress It has lost effective effective effective tive control in the executive branch as witness on oW the one ha hand d the corruption I and on the other the domination of policy polley by the swollen and competing bureaucracies I I Eisenhower offers much the best way out of the dilemma which is posed as long as the choice is between Taft and andi i Truman or Truman's heir With Taft Tart the most probable result is another Democratic Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic victory Next in probability there is a Taft victory achieved by a ruinously bitter and divisive struggle With Eisenhower the country can cnn have for the taking a n. new administration which has behind It the largest and widest popular 1 support pp rf which is more truly national In lu its constituency than any other administration administration ad ad- ministration in our time j ji f i This view is is' by no means universally held The Taft camp aggressively denies that their man lacks a great public following The Freeman magazine re recently recently recently re- re said In 1950 the whole strength of the tho Truman Administration was thrown into Ohio to beat Taft Tart out of of the They threw mud mud at t Taft and more Importantly they threw the paper green stuff that that still unaccountably goes by the name of mone- mone money But in spite of and caterwauling pulling hair and invective slander and demagogy on the part of the Democrats Bob Taft was In again again He had carried 84 out of the 88 counties including all the industrial districts in the state He did this in spite of the fact that Frank Lausche a Democrat won the Ohio governorship The Freeman then said that the polls proved that Tafts Taft's public standing has hasI I steadily improved Last June the Gallup Gallupi i poll gave Eisenhower a 30 per cent preference preference preference pre pre- ference as against 22 per cent for Taft Six months later Eisenhower still stUl had hadI I his 30 per cent while Taft had gone up I to 28 per cent So mu much h for the Republican side To turn to the Democrats the feeling grows i in Washington circles that the President Is is fed up with his Job that he is disillusioned disillusioned dis dis- dis over friends who let him down and that he will not run again A few months ago it seemed Certain that the President would be able to name the I candidate and that the convention I would follow his lead automatically i That is not so certain now All the polls I indicate that Truman prestige has has' hasl reached a a. new low and powerful forces in the Democratic party are bitter at the I President his closest advisors and such I Cabinet members as McGrath and Snyder Snyder I der within whose dep departments the scandals s occurred An party inter-party revolt against the White House may not oc occur r ron II I Ion on any great scale but it is certainly I possible Some of the Kefauver backers may be counting on it Senator i er er an aggressive and personable man has not been at all popular in Presidential Presidential 1 I circles and his public
