Good Many Changes Are
Noted in Ike’s 6th Year
The first year of President Eisen-
hower’s second term; ended earlier
in the month, found a few things the
same but many things different. Due
perhaps to the’rapid march of events,
his second inaugural seems a lot more
remote than the twelve months it
actually is.
Only four of his starting cabinet
of 1953 are still on the job. and two
of them have become controversial
__Ezra Taft Benson very much
so. John Foster Dulles less so.
Secretary of agriculture is a sensitive
post, more so in recent years than in
the depression, when Henry Wallace
slaughtered all those little pigs. Sec-
retary of state always has been a
bothersome job, and Mr. Dulles un-
til recent months fared better than
most of his predecessors.
The two remaining of the original
Eisenhower cabinetmen are Weeks of
Commerce and Summerfield of the
postal department. Weeks has escaped
much of the public notice that sur-
rounds members of a President’s of-
ficial family, but Summerfield has
had his moments, mostly because of
his own outspoken opinions.
Mr. Eisenhower has run through
a goodly number of aides below’
cabinet rank. Only Adams, Hagerty,
General Persons and Stassen remain,
and Stassen is hanging by a thread.
At the start of 1954 Mr. Eisen-
hower’s party had a thin majority in
both Houses of Congress; at the start
of his sixth year he had it in neither.
The GOP had a majority of the gov-
ernorships, but today it is on the
short end.
Four years ago the U.S. was confi-
dent it held a wide superiority over
Russia in atomic weapons, research
and development. Accordingly, the
President said we could safely re-
duce our forces (At that time Chiang
Kai-shek promised a drive against
the Communist-held mainland from
Formosa “in the not distant future ")
The new budget submitted then by
the President called for $65.6 billion;
his latest calls for $72.9 billion, and
there is congressional grumbling that
this isn't enough.
The farm price parity then was 92;
now it is 81.. Average weekly earn-
ings in manufacturing was then
$71.75; today it is approximately $82
per week.
There is one major point of similar-
ity between 1954 and 1958. The Pres-
ident was then telling Congress that
the debt limit had to be raised, and
the prospective deficit afforded no
hope of tax reduction. Same thing
happened this year.
Other familiar items carried over
from 1954 to 1958: The Taft-Hartley
act needs changing, postal rates
should be raised, the farm aid pro-
gram should be altered, and the Dis-
trict of Columbia should have home
rule.
Some Odds and Ends
Now’ that's what we, call service. In
Japan dignified delivery of telegrams
of congratulations or condolences is
promised by the postal service agen-
cy starting July 1. Messengers carry-
ing such messages will change from
regular uniforms to' formal cut-
aways. ...

City, Utah, recently made a very em-

Out of this incongruous conun-

that could only happen in election-

the undisputed fact that Senator
Lyndon Johnson, who is practical-

Johnson recalls how another Won-
