Anaheim Gazette WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1952 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Columnist Figures Taft at Wheel After Rift-Healing Breakfast By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1952, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) WASHINGTON—To understand the inside on the Taft-Eisenhower breakfast last week you have to know something about the pressures brought on both men by friends and advisers. Among Eisenhower’s friends, some considered the statement issued by Taft after the breakfast to be abject surrender by the victor at Chicago to the man he defeated at Chicago. That was why Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon immediately scratched his name off the Ike list. Some of these friends feel that never before has a candidate been so humiliated in public as when Taft told newsmen he had written the “joint” 7-page statement in Cincinnati before he came to the breakfast. At least, they say, he might have preserved the fiction that the two had worked it out together. Just a few weeks ago, they point out, Eisenhower walked out of the Chicago convention the biggest man in America, considered a sure bet to win. Today, two months after Chicago, he has to accept policy dictated by the man he defeated. However, others of Ike’s friends point to the terrific pressures he was under. In Massachusetts, he knew that Taft supporters were so bitter that Senator Lodge hadn’t dared feature in his campaign literature the fact that he was once Ike’s campaign manager. In Indiana, state GOP chairman Cale Holder, strong Taft supporter, reported that many of his cohorts were dragging their feet. In Cleveland, Ike personally found how tough it was to dent the Taft forces when he spoke at a private dinner to try to pry open Taft pocketbooks. The response was not overwhelming. Taft money-men say that Wall Street nominated Eisenhower, so Wall Street can now finance him. And what made things worse was when Congressman George Bender, a Taft supporter, was barred from the dining room by State Chairman Ray Bliss. Seething mad, Bender walked out. Speakers’ Sabotage In Washington, two Taft men—Sen. Karl Mundt of South Dakota and Congressman Charley Halleck of Indiana—are in charge of theeral considered important to be the spread of communism. “On that subject,” said Taft with a smile, “let us say that our differences are a matter of degree. I will support you even though may not see eye-to-cye on everything.” On domestic policies, Eisenhower said, “these are more in your field than mine, Senator.” Taft had his way on that.” The general invited Taft to point a man on his strategy board and to that end Taft met with Gov. Sherman Adams the same day. This was a bit of a pillowing mad at the governor New Hampshire both after Cincinnati and for leaking the picture news of the Taft-Ike meeting. Eisenhower also invited Taft a strategy meeting in New York this week to look over his speech to be made before the A.F. convention. It was indicated he would defer to Taft’s views that speech. After the breakfast was owed Eisenhower privately asked Se Santa Ana college football team. Angie Huesca would be a real footballer if he packed more than 141 pounds. At that he's dynamite... Jack Moynihan and Dan Berg will be heard of in jaysee grid circles... So will Eli Peralta, Ken Kohne and Ed Liptrap... Y'know, Little Bill Cook earned his reputation as the "Little Napoleon" of jaysee football. He did big things at Anahi even though he was no bigger than a minute... Bill went to school when Anahi had some "boy wonders"—including Al Clayes who might have been an "all-American" had he made up his mind to be one. Al, they tell us, excelled in everything he tried. Had he been pressed, he might have run a 9.8 or 9.9 hundred when that was considered phenomenal speed. Yes, he was that good! FAIR WEATHER — It's that time of the year again. Time to go to the Los Angeles County Fair at Pomona. NOTES — They still haven't cleared all the wreckage from the Euclid (Nicholas) avenue Santa Fe grade crossing. The wrecking crews are still busy picking up box cars... People apparently don't believe in signs. That Bastanchury lake is posted. No Fishin' and No Swimin' signs are all over the place. Incidentally, the likes are trying to get the government to stock that lake for juvenile fishing. That would really make it a kid's paradise. Local kids don't have the proper opportunity to go fishin' as there are few wishin' holes within bike distance... Orangethorpe is a four lane boulevard in Ellay county where two lanes would suffice; and it's a two lane road in Oranco where four lanes are so badly needed. The development of Orangethorpe would be a boon to Anaheim as it might take some of the through truck traffic off Center street. NOSTALGIA—Larry Quille the New Anahi orientation instructor can remember when Wake Island wasn't an unhealthy place. It wasn't a typhoon that caused the havoc when he was there. It was those little sons-o'-heaven. Remember? FOLKS—Dick Burdorf says kids aren't really as bad as some folks believe. He can remember when he was a youngster. "Kids are pretty much the same one generation to the next," he said. "What makes modern youth seem worse is that there are so many more of them." Speakers' Sabotage In Washington, two Taft men—Sen. Karl Mundt of South Dakota and Congressman Charley Halleck of Indiana—are in charge of the Speakers Bureau. And when Ike-supporter Sen. Leverett Saltonsall of Massachusetts offered to make some speeches in his home state, Massachusetts, nothing happened. For four weeks he wasn't called on. Finally, when he complained at the inactivity, Taftite Halleck assigned Saltonstall to speak in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio—the three bedrock Taft states where a man of Saltonstall's political background would be valueless. Again, when Ikeman Sen. George Aiken of Vermont volunteered to speak, he wasn't given a single engagement in New England where he would be most effective. Thus, with the GOP split even worse than generally suspected, Eisenhower yielded to midroad advisers who said he had to heal the Taft breach. Two of these advisers — Sens. Frank Carlson of Kansas and Alex Smith of New Jersey—arranged the breakfast preliminaries. Smith, vacationing in Canada, spent part of a month urging Taft to get wholeheartedly into the campaign, argued that Taft and Ike would be an unbeatable team: Ike on foreign policy, Taft on domestic issues. Taft at first, balked, said his wing of the party was opposed to Dewey control, would be flatly opposed to having Dewey in the cabinet. Taft's 7-Page Statement When Taft got to New York the night before the breakfast, he handed Senator Carlson a copy of the now-famous "joint" statement. In a corner was written in green ink: "For Senator Carlson. To be given only to General Eisenhower." However, Carlson did not give the statement to Eisenhower the night before, as Taft intended. He kept it—presumably because he feared Ike might get sore, and that it was better for the two men to get acquainted personally before haggling over legal and political phraseology. Next morning, at breakfast, Taft broke the ice with: "I want to congratulate you for taking off the gloves." FOLKS—Dick Burdorf says kids aren't really as bad as some folks believe. He can remember when he was a youngster. "Kids are pretty much the same one generation to the next," he said. "What makes modern youth seem worse is that there are so many more of 'em." The man is right! . . . Don't think that Fire Chief Ed Stringer goes much for this fancy social stuff. Think he'd rather fight fire than wear a bolled shirt. Bow tie and a boutonniere . . . Papa Edward Mene is getting to be more like his old self. He gets to go out now. His ticker is getting stronger. Where there's a will there's a way. Papa Mene is to be congratulated. Bravo! . . . The Edison company is using those photo electric cells to turn on street lights and turn 'em off when it's daylight. But, y'know, them modern gadgets don't do so well in twilight. QUERY—Where should a person make his Community Chest contribution? In the city where he works; or the city where he lives? (If he doesn't work and live in the same town). The important thing is to make a contribution. CHANGE—They tell me that Gerald Allen (Tex) Oliver was never so happy before. He's administrator of a Compton elementary school and that isn't as rough as being a "name coach"—maybe it's because a grammar school alumni association isn't the pressure group college alumni are even if there are a lot more of 'em. Guess you might say Oliver stepped up when he stepped down. Wish him all the luck in the world. He deserves it. NITECAPSULE—Don't believe everything you hear—and don't tell everyone either. However, Carlson did not give the statement to Eisenhower the night before, as Taft intended. He kept it—presumably because he feared Ike might get sore, and that it was better for the two men to get acquainted personally before haggling over legal and political phraseology. Next morning, at breakfast, Taft broke the ice with: "I want to congratulate you for taking off the gloves." He added that it would be fatal to try to "coast through this campaign as Dewey did in 1948. Then, as the conversation progressed, Taft diagnosed the "heartbeat" of the Republican party as "west of the Alleghenies," and predicted: "If that section is properly handled, we will win in November." Regarding the eastern states, Taft said that, if Ike continued a fighting campaign, hitting the issues and naming names, "you won't do any worse than Dewey did in 1948, with the possible exception of New York which will be very tough to carry." By naming names, Taft indicated that he had in mind President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson. Taft said he thought Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Iowa would be safely in Republican hands, and that prospects also looked good in the far west, including California, where, he said, "Senator Nixon will be a tremendous help." Taft thought there might be a good chance for Ike to pick up two southern states—Texas and Louisiana—but was not as optimistic as Ike regarding the others. European Disagreement Eisenhower was a little surprised when Taft pulled the seven-page statement from his pocket. Taft had assumed Ike had already read it. However, they agreed on most of it. Eisenhower penelling in some changes. Their only real disagreement was regarding aid to Europe and the NATO armies, which the gen- considered important to block-bread of communism. that subject," said Taft with lie, "let us say that our diffees are a matter of degree, support you even though we not see eye-to-eye on everydomestic policies, Eisenhow-d, "these are more in your than mine, Senator," and had his way on that." general invited Taft to apa-man on his strategy board, o that end Taft met with Sherman Adams the same This was a bit of a pill for to swallow since he was mad at the governor of Hampshire both after Chi-and for leaking the prema-news of the Taft-Ike meetnhower also invited Taft to strategy meeting in New York seek to look over his speech made before the A.
