THE NATIONAL SCENE Special To The Chronicle. Washington, Jan. 12.—It is only a matter of days until Dwight Eisen hower becomes President Eisenhow er and assumes one of the greatest responsibilities of the world, possibly the most important single position in the world. Washington is always •in a dizzy whirl when a new admin istration assumes power, but even more so this time because it will be the first complete change in 20 years. And as the time approaches for the “big change,” Washington ob servers are trying to find the an swers to a number of questions that time alone will answer. One of them concerns possible discord within his party over foreign policy. . Eisenhower has named his cabinet sires, above all else, to keep the Re publican party strong and healthy. That can not be done with discord within the administration. And third, as majority leader Sen ator Taft is pledging a new loyalty to Eisenhower. In that post, he be comes the President’s representative at the capitol. Such a position calls for trust and understanding between the White House and the senator. Most observers believe that Eisen hower would never have backed Taft for the post if there was a ’ possi bility for an unbreachable conflict, IF YOU DON’T READ THE CHRONICLE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS Report of Condition of M.

Will there be a conflict between the two points of view within his administration? Can the two be rec onciled without damage to the whole? Most observers believe Eisenhow er, because of his tremendous pop ularity and forceful nature, Will pull the two ends together and weld them into an unbreakable chain. But it certainly will be a difficult job. Time alone holds the answer. Another of the questions being asked in Washington is how com plete is the Eisenhower-Taft accord? The general feeling now is that the two men will, as a general rule, arrangement between landowner j ^ a bi e to j n harmony. There are a number of logical reasons foy and tenant for developing and op- eraing a grass farming system? How many farmers have not yet C.
