News Conferences
Prove Effective
(By X wocfoM Brut)
By H. A. SCHENDORF
President Eisenhower has, at
last, held his first news confer-
ence yri the White House. It
came almost one full month after
his inauguration, indicating, per-
haps, a preoccupation with other
matters.
Eisenhower held an open news
conference during the formative
weeks of his political career, soon
after returning to this country
from Europe. He faced news-
men in a theater in Abilene and
invited them to fire away.
Eisenhower’s friendly willing-
ness to try to answer all ques-
tions made him a large and sta-
tionary target. And he undoubt-
edly learned much from that ses-
sion. He has come a long way
since then. He may fepl better
equipped to face the squads of
newsmen, or he may well feel
agg,,,
dispensable in any case. His first
few weeks in office have
him ample reason. ,
Excellent Eraser.
* One the toughest i
Washington is to silence th* wag-
ging tongue. President* ' have
found, at times, that they were
kept busy erasing the misinfor-
mation put out by the wagging
tongues.
They found the news confer-
ence an excellent eraser.
The news conference came to
full flower during the presidency
of the late Franklin D. fooee-
velt. Prior to that, newsmii had
often been required to get1' tpeir
news from formal statement# or
—at be*G—from replies to writ-
ten questions. And there was n6
- . r ■
of exchange with the people, The • remote. And it is doubtful if
open news conference enabled the object would be considered
him to speak directly to the vot-
ers—a fact that Congress was not
able to overlook when it decided
to challenge Roosevelt on any is-
sue.
Eisenhower has shown little in-
clination to carry disputes over
the heads of Congress to the peo-
ple. Hi* every act since inaugu-
ration has been aimed at getting
the cooperation of the lawmakers
SO thut this would not be,neces-
sary. And his popularity at the
polls has not been forgotten at
the capitol. * ^
Tongue* Wag.
Eisenhower has experienced the
usual difficulties a -high public
administrator- is likely to have
with misunderstandings, and un-
reliable speculation, the wagging
tongue in general. On one occa-
sion he felt required to assure a
governor that an unfriendly at-
titude attributed ,to him was not,
in fact, the case.
Visitors of late to the White
House have not been very talk-

clear, accurate reports on what

On this day in 1021, Miles
Standish was made military ad-
viser to the Pilgrims at Plymouth,
Massachusetts.
He seems to have been amply
fitted for the job, having served
with the English Arm#, in the
Netherlands, lie had come to the
new world with the Pilgrims the
preceding year — 1620 — and he
proved his ability to secure the
colony against the possibility of
Indian attack. -
History records that he contri-
buted conspicuously to the success
of the cdleny.
Jle returned to his native Eng-
land In 1625, but the following
year he was back in. New Eng-
land, and there he founded the
colony of Duxbury in 1881 and
1632.
Although his military prowess
seems not to be in doubt, hU
romantic inclinations—as we know
thenv—seem to be largely fiction.
