NIXON’S SORRY RECORD
Sen. Richard Nixon, GOP nominee for
vice-president, was in Amarillo Friday
evening, Sept. 26, for a brief visit. The
Herald Editor was invited to the Amarillo
airport for a press conference and for the
address at the Tri-State Fair.
But we were just too busy to take a part
in greeting a senator with such a sorry
record, although he would have had the
Amarillo audience to believe that he was
almost a Texan.
The greatest tax measure of benefit to
Texans is the 271/2 per cent depletion on
oil and gas wells. Yet, Senator Nixon voted
to cut this depletion allowance from 27 Va
per cent to 15 per cent.
Thousands of rich Texans in the big oil
money from production and royalty are on
the Eisenhower-Nixon bandwagon. Would-
n’t it be ironic justice for them in a future
GOP administration to get their taxes just
about doubled? As there are hundreds who
do not receive oil income to one who does,
it may be that Nixon was thinking of that
group. But the irony is that so many oil
rich Texans are backing the GOP ticket.
Sen. Nixon couldn’t live on $12,500 saL
ary, $2,500 tax free expenses and other
allowances of $30,000 to $60,000 a year
as senator—he permitted a fund of $18,235
to be raised for him in California. This
fund was raised by a big real estate man.
And his group opposed any more federal
housing units, So, Nixon in compliance
with the request of his sponsoring group
voted to reduce the number this year from
50,000 to 5,000. Nixon opposed rent con-
trol, but many major cities with rent hikes
assured are not fighting it. _ .
As the Nixon record comes out, it just
makes us thankful that we have an oppor-
tunity to vote for Gov. Adlai Stevenson
and Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama.
Sen. Sparkman in custom with hundreds
of federal office holders employed his wife
as a secretary; so did President Truman
when he was a senator. There was nothing
under cover about these assistants.
When Nov. 4 rolls around, it is time for
all forward looking citizens to vote the
Democratic ticket. A noted general was
picked for window dressing for the GOPj
but Eisenhower didn’t know about the
record, or we’re sure he wouldn’t have
picked Nixon as the running mate.
THOSE PRIVATE FUNDS
The Repuolicans thought they had the
goods on Gov. Adlai iStevenson and de-
manded that he show up the donors to the
fund that augmented salaries of appointed
officers. It has been a sorry comparison
for the Republicans, for it was shown that
the donations to Sen. Richard M. Nixon,
GOP vice-presidential nominee, were made
for the purpose of influencing legislation.
The money for Stevenson was to pay extra
salaries to eight appointed offices.
And you will note that a mimeograph
firm was listed as giving both to Nixon
and Stephenson funds. The Stevenson fund
was left-over from the 1948 campaign.
You can bet your last dollar that Gen.
Eisenhower would not have had young,
strong Dick on his ticket if he had been
told in advance about the fund. The
nation’s leading Republican newspapex,
New York Herald Tribune, held that Nixon
should have been kept off the ballot after
the scandal developed.
The Republicans have come out weaker
because of the way they handled the Nixon
matter. Eisenhower did not have the forti-/
tude to demand that Nixon be dropped;’
he worked out the plan of a public ballot.
Naturally, all the regular GOP’s voted to
keep Nixon on the ballot. They probably
didn’t hear from border line Republicans
and independents.
Not a dollar of the Stevenson money
went to pay for political propaganda; it
was used to get high caliber appointive
offices.
Gov. Stevenson suggests that Eisenhow-
er, Nixon, Sparkman and himself give out
information about their incomes the past
ten years. That may not look so good with
that gravy Eisenhower received from writ-
ing a book on a capital gain basis.
GENERAL LOOKS WORN OUT
The military hero, Gen. Eisenhower,
doesn’t look so thrilling in his civilian
clothes. The pictures taken during the
campaign show him looking quite old—in
fact, too old to make an aggressive can-
didate.
However, Eisenhower is about a year or
so younger than President Truman when
the latter was elected in 1948.
Campaign pictures in Life magazine re-
cently were certainly not flattering to the
retired general. They reminded one of the
Republican charges against President
Roosevelt in 1944—a “tired old man.”
Disillusionment must be facing the gen-
eral as the campaign wearily moves on
for him. His running mate took a slush
fund from millionaires in California. Sen.
Richard Nixon tried to keep the fund a
secret, but there were too many rich donors
to hush up the scandal.
Then, the general got a windfall of half
a milion dollars from his book on the
European war. Wouldn’t a lot of us High
Plainsmen like to have such a tax break
as the general received.
Congress decided such a tax break was
unfair and unethical and closed the door.
But the general did not have the moral
courage to make a refund to the United
States government. He took advantage of
the technicality. He was being well taken
care of on a general’s pay at government
expense.
INCONSISTENT EISENHOWER
Gen. D. D. Eisenhower had hopes of
being drafted overwhelmingly by the GOP,
but he barely made it through a lot of
conniving by his,campaign managers.
His campaign was to be a “holier than
thou” one, but he found that he was sit-
ting in a hornets nest with such a variety
of Republicans. He found that' he had to
endorse Sen. McCarthy 6f Wisconsin, Sen.
Jenner of Indiana and others personally
repugnant to him.
These are the senators that called Eisen-
hower’s old friend and boss, Gen. George
C. Marshall, a traitor. Even Eisenhower
could not stomach such denunciation and
spoke up in behalf of the character of the
general. Jenner made himself ridiculous in
trying to get in the good graces of the
GOP nominee.
The general is criticising the Korean
war, but there is every reason to believe
that he knew a lot about- what was going.
on.
The general’s diagnosis of world affairs
is probably worse than the average man
of the street. Here is a man that is sup-
posed to know the score about Communism
and yet he testified before the house mili-
tary affairs committee in November, 1945,
as follows:
“I believe Russia’s policy is friendship
with the United States. There is in Russia
a desperate and continuing concern for
the United States.”
That is what a man who had been lead-
ing America’s forces in Europe in World
War 2 said at the close of the war. He
just doesn’t know the answers and he had
oetter be sent back to retirement or to his
college job.___
