Presidential
Campaigning
Not Planned
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON, (—No matter
who won Tuesday’s elections —
Democrats or Republicans — the
Soc Editor’s
Long Memory
Aids Actress
BRYAN in-Because the society
editor of the Bryan Eagle has a
remarkable memory, movie ac-
tress Joan Blondell has located a
former secretary she hadn't seen
in more than 19 years.
Miss Blundell, in Fort Worth for
appearances, called the Bryan po-
lice department Tuesday seeking
information on Harold Kinney, who
was her secretary before World
War II. The only information she
had was that Kinney had served
in the war, had suffered a stroke
in Paris, France, and had been
taken to live with an aunt in Bryan.
She did not know the aunt’s name.
Police tried to find him with no
luck.
Then Miss Blondell called the
Bryan Eagle and talked to Man-
aging Editor Hugh Cunningham.
Cunningham turned around to
the society editor, Gussie B.
Branch, and asked her if she knew
a Harold Kinney.
"Yes, I believe I do,” the gray-
haired woman answered. “He is
living with an aunt by the name
of Mrs. C. S. Lahatt."
While Mrs Branch talked to
Miss Blondell, Cunningham got
Kinney on another telephone.
And how did Mrs. Branch know
him? She had read a personal item
only one sentence long in the Bry-
an Eagle more than a year ago
saying such a man had come to
live with the aunt.

1954 campaign wasn’t the kind
President Eisenhower had in mind.
In 1953 he indicated he wouldn't
be very active in this year’s cam-
paign. But he was. In 1953 be ex-
pressed hope Communists-in-gov-
ernment wouldn't be a campaign
issue this year. But it was.
Only last week he said be doesn’t
consider the elections a vote
of confidence in himself or his ad-
ministration, but Vice President
Nixon interpreted it that way.
Nixon, congratulated by Eisen-
bower for the extremely active role
be has played in the campaign,
has called in public speeches for
a “vote of confidence” in the Pres-
ident.
Intent Probed
In response to a news conference
question Oct. 21, 1953 — "Will you
take part in the congressional cam-
paign next year?" — Eisenhower
said:
He did not intend to make of the
presidency an agency to use in par-
tisan elections . . ,' Anybody oc-
cupying this office was president
of all the people ... He had no
intention of going out and getting
into partisan struggles in any dis-
trict or state.
Naturally, this didn't make Re-
publican politicians happy. And in
his next news conference, a week
later, Eisenhower said he wanted
to see a Republican Congress elect-
ed in 1964.
But when asked that day if he
felt it would be improper for him
to issue a request for election of
a Republican Congress, Eisenhower
said he wouldn't say what form
any statement might take but he
doubted a mere request along that
line would be effective.

By the time the 1954 campaign
was half over Eisenhower still had
planned no more than three
speeches and showed no signs of
wanting to go into individual states- -
— to plug for candidates.
Then Republican politicians beat
a path to his Summer White House
in Denver, asking for help. After
that, bit by bit, Eisenhower got
deeper into the campaign.
By the time of balloting,
Eisenhower bad campaigned more
actively in a mid-term election
than any president in modern
times. He had pleaded for a Repub-
lican Congress and had flown into
individual states.
Eisenhower expressed hope Reds-
in-government would not be an is-
sue in 1964 at a news conference
Nov. 18, 1953. Sen. McCarthy (R-
Wis) promptly said it would be an
issue.
In the early weeks of the 1954
campaign Eisenhower seemed
right, McCarthy wrong.
It may have been an issue locally
in some contests for Congress It
was not a national issue untU late
in the campaign, injected by Nixon
and others.

Truman Is Pleased
With Vote Results
KANSAS CITY onFormer Pres-
Ident Truman said Wednesday
he was “very much pleased with
the Democratic trend" in Tues
day’s general elections.
Truman viewed the results as
establishing a pattern for the 1956
presidential election.
Asked in comment on a state-
ment by Rep. Walters of Penn-
sylvania that he would abolish the
House Un-American Activities Com-
mittee, Truman said:
“I agree. I've always thought
that committee was the most un-
American thing in Congress."
Truman, asked if he thought the
'election results established a trend
for the presidential election of 1856,
replied:
“There is no question about it.
This is a trend. The public has bad
and government by special inter
ext. The people want to get back
to a government which is for all
