L' Outcome of Election Could Be
Deciding Factor for President
Br ED CSEAGH ,
— For James Morlow ...
WASHINGTON (AP) — One reporter ■ opinion.
President Eisenhower will not run tor » second
term.
This is climbing out on a long limb._What
voters do on Nov. 2—whether they give the Repub-
licans another two years in control of Congress
could have a lot to do with making up the Pres-
ident’s mind. >
Unless, that is, he already has made it up. This
reporter's impression is that he has.
Mind you, this is only an impression—an ed-
ucated hunch at best The only man who can say
with certainty what’s in the Presidents mind is
the President himself. And, following weil-estab-.
lished practice, he’s keeping his thoughts on this
question very much to himself. ■ . .
So any forecast that is more than Idle crystal
easing must he based on (1) what the President s
attitude seems to be. as well as newsraencover-
lnc his activities can determine it, and (2) what
the people around him think he will do.
It is from these sources that this reporter, who
sometimes covers the White House, has formed
the impression Eisenhower will not run again
always barring some unforseen factor. _.
James B. Reston wrote in the New York Times
recently that in his opinion it is doubtful the Pres-
ident will agree to run. Reston quoted sn unnamed
close associate of the President's as telling him.
“The one thing that really makes his eyes light
up is talk of his farm in Gettysburg.”
Others have told this reporter much the same
thing. And I’ve been able to watch the President
inspect the almost completed remodeling lob on
his Pennsylvania farmhouse.
It was hard to avoid the impression that here
was a man lovifigly planning a home—his first
real home in many a year—that he meant to live
in, and not just retire to on weekends
Another strong impression is that, while
Eisenhower is determined to do a good job as pres-
ident, he still doesn’t like the job and still less

A state senator, writing in a , national
magazine, says that employers who hesitate
to hire older workers on the grounds that
they may raise production costs are losing a
valuable labor force.
The case for the older worker rests basic-
ally on a dollars-and-cents factor and on his
profitability to management, not merely on
humanitarian grounds, says Sen. Thomas C.
Desmond in the November issue of Journal
of Living magazine.
In analyzing the arguments against ma-
ture employes, the New York State Joint
Legislative “Committee on Problems of the
Aging, of which Sen. Desmond is chairman,
found most of them to be myths, halftruths
and frequently merely alibis for raw preju-
dice. The committee surveyed some of the
country’s largest industrial concerns and has
come up with the following facts:
One out of three firms said emphatically
that the older workers produced more th\an
younger ones. One investigation showed that
older men had feWer accidents than young-
er ones on the same job, even though both
had the same amouht of expedience.
A study of all short-term "personnel in a
cross section of American industry disclosed
that 60-year-olds are absent half as much as

20-year-olds. Examination of the records of
9,000 steel workers showed that older work-
ers had half as many hospital sessions as new-
er and younger employes.
Other myths the survey exploded are that
mature workers are less creative, have less
dexterity and less stamina for th^ir jobs.
The older worker doesn’t ask for perfer-
ence, declares the article. He just wants an
equal opportunity to get a job.
Because of its predominatlv youthful
work force, jobs for older persons is not a
major problem in Orange County but the
problem exists to a degree and the senator’s
observations are of at least passing interest
here.

worships ancestors — and Anson
had, most relevantly, happened to
write a Pompey book he called
"Shintoism;” and it also puts the
finishing touches to the shape it
originally gave Anson himself.
As Proust had his "Remem-
brance of Things Past" and Wolfe
his "You Can’t Go Home Again,”
Basso, or Page, has his "Pofnpey’s
Head.” But Basso finds he doesn’t
want to go home again. The change
and growth, the old-love-off and
new-love-on, the dramatic colli-
sion of past and present—here is
the stuff of which big novels are
made: and trust Basso to use it to
the best advantage. This is a Lit-
erary Guild book.

He carries with him a legal case:
novelist Garvin Wales and his
wife claim his publishing house
has mulcted him of $20,000, and
Page is going to see Garvin and
his wife Lucy. He carries with him
also the uneasy awareness that his
own wife, compared to girls he
used to know, is somewhat less
than perfection. He carries with
him a deep, surging nostalgia for
the town in which he had grown,
by which he had been informed.
