As Washington Sees It...
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,

how many rural peopl^ are failing
to multiply the power bf their own
hands by using electrical and other
power driven machines and equip-
lc ment to lessen the drudgery and do
the productive work in their homes

In spite of the interest and prog

! Democratic administrations during
the first year or so.
This brings up the question in the
minds of many Washington observ
ers. 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?
