; For Ike: A Second Term ?
1 Recently, Republican National Chairman Leonard Hall
indicated he thought President D. Eisenhower would run for
& second term. This statement seemed to relieve a lot of Re
publicans. some of whom have been thinking the President
has had enough of the job he now holds and intended to step
down in 1956.
Hall said, on the contrary, that he thinks when the
•time comes for the President to consider seeking a second
term, there will be such a demand, he cannot refuse to run. In
other words, the Republican national chairman thinks the
President will run into what amounts to a second draft to
head the ticket of the Republican Party.
We have longed believed that, when the time came for
the Republicans to select a candidate in 1956, they would in
stinctively turn to Eisenhower again. The latest polls show
that many citizens are disgruntled with various parts of the
Administration program, although the signifigant thing is
that President Eisenhower’s popularity remains high in all
sections of the country. This fall’s Congressional election will
give some indication of the popularity of the Republican pro
gram, since the people will be voting on Senators and Repre
sentatives, but not on the President himself. Even if the Re
publicans lose thdr majorities in both House and Senate, that
will be no sure indication that President Eisenhower would
n6t poll another huge vote if he were the Republican candi
date for President.
If it does happen that the Republicans lose their ma
jorities. there is sure to be an almost spontaneous move to
draft the President for a second-term campaign in 1956. The
motivation behind such a move will be closely connected with
seli-preservation for many Republicans, tvho feel that Eisen
hower alone is able to pole the vote necessary to keep the Re
pbblicans in power. We, therefore believe that there will be
tremendous pressure on Eisenhower to run for reelection and
our very-premature prediction is that the President will, in
the end bow to this pressure and run for a second term. PJB

COMMENT
Bv Clarence S«*)i«j;
Coming back from the dead
is not the usual occurence in
sports these days. Yet that’s
what Don Budge did the other
day in Los Angeles. Budge the
greatest name in tennis in the
late thirties, has been some
thing of a flop on the courts
Recently.
Promoter Jack Kramer sur
prised some tennis fans when
he announced that Budge
would be one of his four regu- ,
lar performers on his 1954
road show. It was assumed
that Don was too far gone to
be returned to the wars along
with Frank Sedgman, “Pan
cho” Gonzales and Franeisco
Segura - - top professionals.
Jack Kramer is also playing
doubles with the troupe.
At first it looked like the
critics were right. The troupe
plays each night for the big
money. Every night, then, is a
tourney night, in a sense. For
the fir st two months Budge
couldn’t tame any of his fel
low touring pros. When the
group reached Los Angeles,
they compete! for a $10,000
pot in the L. A. oro champion,
ships.
The ace of tour this year,
h?s been Gonzales. He was
therefore the favorite to w in
the $4,000 first-place money
in Los.Angeles. Budge drew
the favorite and the result was
considered certain. But then a
judge made the “Old Red
head” mad, and things be
gan to happen.
As tl e two players were
about to start, Budge sliced a
ball co Gonzales for the bene
fit of the cameraman. He was
standing three feet inside the
baseline, but the judge
<•hought.it was a serve and
when Gonzales put it away!
and excepted the point the
old man saV/ red. ,
He was so infuriated he
changed his grip, which he
I had refused to do, but which
Kramer had suggested, and
stormed the net with volley;
after volley. The result was
j astounding. He went through
| the favorite in straight sets,
8-6, 6-4. Later Budge said he
had never been “so mad at an
umpire” in all his life.
The only American who has
ever won the Australian,
British and U. S. singles titles
in the same year had come
back from the dead The man
who had been champion when
most of today’s aces were
starting school had indeed
come back from the dead - -
a rare thing in sports.

Dear Editor:
.1 am the owner of three
small dogs. Two of them are
expensive pedigreed animals,
rhe other has neither pedi
gree nor is of any value to
iny one but mysdf. I love
hem all dearly and feel that
[ am responsible for th°m. To
;his extent I give them a good
lome, they have good food,
md they receive medical at
;ention when necessary- I also
pay the city of Kodiak nine
Jollars a year for licences.
iVhat protection does it afford
;hem? Ail dogs are being
picked up and incarcerated to
wait their fate irregardless
>f the fact that they do or do
lot have a licrns-*.
If you own a dog just keep
the poor animal chained and
ae will be safe. If the city of
Kodiak has too many dogs I
think it would be more to the
point to concentrate on the
dogs that have no homes or
licenses. This is not only my
awn opinion but the opinion of
many people that own dogs in
Kodiak.
