a a Bsmt MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES.CAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN Washington Spotlight By CLYDE BLACKBURN Washington--(CP)--"One great political mysteries tifhes" is what the Was News calls the Eisenhower for President--the boom now WRx- ploded by the general's letter of vance refusal to accept nomination. The News has an answer, prob- ably the correct one, which will bring no comfort to those who play old-fashioned party polities to the bitter end on all public issues. Motivation of the boom, the News said, perhaps was "because millions of citizens believed he oould be a President free to put the country's welfare above par- tisan advantage." 2 One thing is certain, Eisenhow.- er's letter, which may become a historical document of great im- portance, stemmed a wave of spon- taneous approval far beyond that which might have been induced by the scattered organizations formed the that millions of people who had never seen the general and who could not possibly have come under the influence of the Eisenhower organizations would vote for him over any existing or likely candi- dates of either party. Revelation of this mounting wave of enthusiasm, coupled with the growth of organized movements, probably induced Eisenhower to make his carefully prepared public announcement, - Against that volume of public proval he had to weigh the unde- niable fact that no matter how much success would be thrust upon him, he would essentially run into the alarmed and desperate opposi- tion of the high commands in both the Republican and Democratic parties The situstion had reached the point when it became necessary for Nim to halt the movement or lead "There are those who will cling to the hope that Eisenhower can Old Floors Made .

He did not say that he "would" not accept the nomination, but that, feeling as he did at the mo- ment, he "could nét." Nor did he say, as Sherman said, pthat he would not serve if elected. &---This is not to suggest that Eisen. er was not sincere in his at- tempt to read himself out of the picture, But it can 'be assumed that if there is a spontaneous move at the Philadelphia convention, one that sweeps the Republican dele- gates to his support, that will be a demand that he canngt ignore. The Eisenhower refusal started a frenzy of political speculation ov- er what candidate, existing or po- tential, his removal would help most. There is one certain result, The letter made Eisenhower a greater man in the hearts of his country. men that he was before it was made public. It has disorganized the Eisen- hower Clubs and stopped the plan- ned boom but probably added im- mensely to the number of Americans who believe it would be an advan- tage to the United States and to the world if he could be made Presi- dent: : Without knowing much of his views on controversial issues, with. out knowing whether he is a Demo- crat or Republican, and in the face of his frequent denials of political aspirations, it seemed apparent that he was the people's first choice for President. The candidate most likely tb benefit by his removal probably will be the one whose conduct from now fo next November is most free from appeals to partisan enthusi- asms and sectional prejudices in this treatment of grave domestic and in. ternational issues; The candidate most like Eisenhower.
