 It's time for the Lawn Jean Chronoscope, a television journal of the important issues of the hour, brought to you every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. A presentation of the Lawn Jean Wittner Watch Company, maker of Lawn Jean, the world's most honored watch, and Wittner, distinguished companion to the world-honored Lawn Jean. Good evening, this is Frank Knight. May I introduce our co-editors for this edition of the Lawn Jean Chronoscope? Mr. William Bradford Huey, editor of the American Mercury, and Mr. Cecil Carnes, foreign correspondent and outstanding author. Our distinguished guest for this evening is Mrs. Claire Booth-Lews, former United States representative from Connecticut. Mrs. Lews, you're of course one of the most distinguished women in America, and I'm sure that our viewers will welcome your expressions tonight on the political campaign. First of all, you are known as one of the very early supporters of General Eisenhower. I wonder if, since the beginning of the campaign, you have suffered any disappointments or disillusionments in the manner in which General Eisenhower has conducted his campaign. Well, Mr. Huey, I've suffered no disillusionments about this campaign because I have no illusions about political campaigns. I've been through four presidential campaigns, and one sees that both candidates inevitably are drawn by the diversified nature of their support to compromise a little. This is true always of both candidates. I felt that General Eisenhower has made no more compromises than is necessary to pull all the divergent elements of one great party together. Mr. Stevenson has done the same thing. For new voters, this is disillusioning, but for people who understand politics, it's the nature of our two-party system. If we move on to the next question, I think I should call our viewers' attention to that very attractive Eisenhower decoration you're wearing. Oh, that. I got that in Chicago, and I've just been out in Illinois and in Indiana campaigning. Well, coming back to another question or so on the Eisenhower campaign, do you think the General Eisenhower has now done an effective job of uniting the Republicans and all the protest group in America? He has a larger measure of support from his own party than any candidate has had in 20 years, plus the fact that he also has many independents and many Democrats now uniting behind him because of his program and policy, but even more so perhaps because of the character, the wisdom, the experience and the courage of a man in a time of crisis. Do you feel that the defection of a man like Senator Morse has damaged his campaign seriously? Well, I think that the defection of Senator Morse is no more or less damaging to the Republicans than the defection and loss of Senator Byrd or Governor Byrnes or many other Democrats who've been coming out like Luke Douglas and many another prominent Democrat has been coming out for Ike. Now, I think that both parties do suffer these losses. I do not consider that the loss of Wayne Morris is going to play a decisive part in the campaign. Mrs. Lewis, this year American women will cast more votes than men. Do you feel that General Eisenhower has an especial appeal to the women of America? Well, you know, Mr. Kahn's, there's a great dispute been going on for good many years as to whether women were more intelligent than men. Now, it'll be very interesting to see what the women do in this election because they have more votes to cast than the men. All the surveys and polls show that the women are going to prove that they're more intelligent than the men because more women are in the surveys voting for Eisenhower. Now, why do you think that more women will vote for General Eisenhower? Well, I think because women have a better instinct about character. They are not so concerned at a mental level with the issues, but they are very concerned with what kind of a man, what kind of character he has. And I know that women instinctively feel enormous trust in Eisenhower's capacity to lead them and their nation and their families to a better America. Will he appeal to their minds as well as to their intuition? Well, of course, yes, because women are also interested in the issues. On Korea, for instance, do you think women are particularly interested in an issue like Korea? I think it would be hard to say that a father is less interested in what happens to his son than a mother. But in a way, that is true. And I do think the women are more concerned by the fact that we've had 19,000 of our boys killed and 90,000 wounded and 13,000 missing of our boys only seven years after World War II. We're already in World War II and a half. And I think the women are alarmed when they discover that the President, by his own admission, has no plan, no plan, no plan at all for ending the Korean War. In fact, from all the President says, and Mr. Stevenson, you get the impression that they're sort of going to stabilize this war for an indefinite period. And I think women feel that Eisenhower can bring this war to an honorable end. How do you feel on that issue, Mrs. Lewis? Just recently now, General Eisenhower has made a rather dramatic announcement that if elected, he would go to Korea personally try to do something about it. Do you feel that General Eisenhower would have a better chance of ending the Korean War honorably? Well, you know, President Roosevelt during the war traveled extensively. He went to North Africa and he went out into the Pacific and so on during the war. So it's not unusual that an elected president would go into a war area. The difference is, I think that Eisenhower as a President and Commander-in-Chief going to Korea would understand what he was looking at, hearing, evaluating better because he has been a great modern soldier. So I think it's very helpful to the nation, oh, very, very. Do you think that the combination of the great field commander and the power of the presidency combined in one man might give us the answer to some of these problems? Well, you know, the terrible question of our times is, is war two and a half going to turn into World War III? And I am quite sure that General Eisenhower's experience of war and of handling national leaders in times of war will be invaluable in preventing it. Oh, you know a lot of people say that because he's a soldier he'd be interested in having a war, but did you ever hear of a fireman that wanted to start a fire? We've had nine presidents who were generals and there's never been a war under one of them. Mrs. Lewis, I'm sure that our viewers would be disappointed if they didn't hear you talk about the other side a little bit. Now, what about the president in this campaign and Mr. Atchison, the president first? What do you think of his role in the present campaign? Well, I think you know it comes very strangely from Mr. Truman to criticize the language of McCarthy, for example. The smear, the vilification, the character assassination. When he himself has been really indulging in some pretty low blows, I think this is most unfortunate. Now, the professional democratic politicians tell me, yes, but this gets votes. I don't think somehow that the American people really like that kind of campaigning, not anyway, when it is being done by a man who is not seeking to protect himself or get into office, but just being done to show that this man, General Eisenhower, couldn't refuse to run on the Democratic ticket, as he did, and get elected. Because Truman, hell hath no fury like a Truman scorned. Well, now, what about the secretary of state? Do you think he's an important issue in this campaign? I think he is so important an issue that the counter barrage, the smoke screen of McCarthyism, has been set up to hide the terrible issue of Atchison from the public. Dean Atchison's foreign policies were directly responsible for the loss of China, the handing over of China to the Communists, and for the fact that our boys are now fighting these very people in Korea. I think that when history writes the record of appeasement, the loss of 100 million people a year behind the Iron Curtain, the loss in treasure and in blood to our people, that we have suffered under Dean Atchison, it will be a very black book in history. And the Democrats don't want us to turn the pages of that black record, and that is why they are making so much about the loud mouse and the smear campaigns of McCarthy to hide that issue. Understand, I don't deny that McCarthy is using the language he uses. I just say that the attention which he is being given is in order to protect Mr. Dean Atchison from criticism. Well, I'm sure that our viewers have very much appreciated these views tonight. This is loose, and thank you for being with us. It's been a very great pleasure. Thank you, Mr. Huey. The opinions of her, our speakers expressed tonight are entirely their own. The editorial board for this edition of the Long Jean Chronoscope was Mr. William Bradford Huey and Mr. Cecil Karnes.
