Ike Eisenhower under fire from many political camps
In a flurry of editorials and letters, Ike Eisenhower is labeled by some as a Wall Street tool and by others as a New Deal advocate. The piece notes Taft supporters, concerns over party realignments, and references to US News & World Report on moneyed backing, while praising Eisenhower's wartime leadership and honesty. It mentions Head Lines, a smear sheet from the Constitutional Educational League, and questions about Abilene birthplace politics. The author, Wes Izzard, weighs public sentiment and party divisions without endorsing a single candidate.
