Nixon Feted;
Gets Backing
For VP Post
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (#)—
Vice President Richard M. Nixon
got plaudits from Republicans—
and some influential backing for
second place on an Eisenhower
ticket—on his 43rd birthday to
day.
Democratic reaction to a brief
GOP salute to Nixon in the Sen
ate was polite but cool. Nixon has
been under fire from top Demo
crats who contend he implied in
the 1954 campaign that their party
was soft on communism.
Sen. William F. Knowland of
California, the Republican floor
leader, called the Senate’s atten
tion to Nixon’s birthday.
Nixon was presiding when
Knowland —who might find him
self contesting with the vice pres
ident for top place on this year’s
GOP ticket if President Eisen
hower doesn’t run—praised Nix
on’s “long and distinguished ca
reer.”
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas, the Democratic leader,
arose to join politely in wishing
the vice president many happy
birthdays.
If the President doesn’t run,
Nixon and Knowland might find
themselves pitted against each
other for top place on the ticket.
Eisenhower has kept the door
open for a second term bid but
has indicated he won’t announce
his decision until March or pos
sibly later.
Eisenhower Bock on Job
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 W
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
put in a regular working day to
day—and then took some work
“home” with him.
Closing out his first full day at
the presidential desk since his
Sept. 24 heart attack, Eisenhow
er also scheduled for 9 a.m. to
morrow a resumption of his week
ly meetings with Republican con
gressional leaders.
Press Secretary James C. Ilag
erty said the President knocked
off office work on printers’ proofs
of his economic message to Con
gress—to be delivered Jan. 23
OH, FOR THE LIFE OF A NEWSPAPERMAN!
Look at the campus newspaper you are now holding. An ordi
nary object, you think? An everyday convenience? Something
to be taken for granted ?
Faugh, sirs and madams! Faugh, I say! Don’t you know
what prodigies of skill and labor and organization and art and
science go into the making of your campus newspaper?
Come, I’ll show you. I’ll take you to a typical office of a typical
newspaper on a typical campus.
The editor—let’s call him D. Fermin Bohorquez, a typical enough
name-calls his staff together first thing in the morning. “AH
right, you guys,” he says, lighting a Philip Morris, which, natu
rally, is the favorite cigarette of newspapermen, and of anybody
else who knows a hawk from a handsaw, “All right, you guys,”
says D. Fermin, "this here ain’t no ladies whist society, this
here is a newspaper. So get out there and get the news. Get it
first, get it quick, get it right! Ed, you cover the ag campus.
Phil, you cover the school of mines. Wally, you cover home ec.
Sam, you cover buildings and grounds. Ethel, you cover the
men’s gym.... AH right, get going!”
With many a laugh and cheer, the reporters light up Unilip
Morrises, favorite cigarette of the young and agile, and dash
away on their assignments.
D. Fermin retires to his office to smoke a Philip Morris and
write a fearless editorial scolding the university for not buying
patches for the worn-out elbows of the chess team.
On the rim of the copy desk three rewrite men Tensing,
Hillary, and Laverne—sit poised and expectant, waiting for the
reporters to phone in their stories. They smoke Philip Morris,
favorite cigarette of the poised and expectant. Tensing’s phone
rings first; it is Ed calling from the ag campus.
“Stop the presses!” cries Ed. “Got a scoop! Hunrath T.
Sigafoos, professor of curds and whey, has just sold his article
The Romance of Butterfat to the Drovers and Poulterers
Monthly.”
On another phone Sara is calling from buildings and grounds.
"Tear out the front page!” he cries. “Got an exclusive! Harold
‘Pop’ Wishnograd, superintendent of buildings and grounds,
today announced the purchase of a new doormat for the vestibule
of Burton Hall. The last doormat, it will be recalled, was eaten
by a pledge named Norman Harringay for his Chi Psi initiation.”
your
-back—
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city room, Ganglia Questover,
vivacious and übiquitous gossip columnist, sits smoking a
Philip Morris, favorite cigarette of the vivacious and übiquitous,
and typing out her chatty, informative tidbits: “Maureen
Valgerholtz, popular Theta, announced her engagement last
night to Webster Scuff, Oliver Jenkins, Cosmo Erskine, and
Walter Penn Dowdy. Wedding dates have been set for June-9,
June 24, July 5, and July 18 respectively. Good luck, Maureen!
. . . Irving ‘Behemoth’ Anselm, popular fullback, blew out 120
feet of esophagus yesterday while inflating a football. Good luck,
Irving ‘Behemoth’! ... Robin Kroveney, popular Deke last year,
this year popular pfc. in the U. S. Army, writes friends that he
has been convicted of deserting his post and will be executed
on April 28. Good luck, Robin!”
Ana now, friends, we take our reluctant leave of the drama, the
action, the tension, the glamor, the churning, the seething, the
roiling, the sturm und drang of the wonderful world of journal
ism. Aloha, journalism, aloha! euu Bhulmui. 19M
The makers of Philip Morris, who sponsor this column, have got some
news for you too. IPs today’s new gentle Philip Morris in today’*

about 4 p.m. and returned to the
living quarters of th' executive
mansion. Hagerty said he took
some of the proofs with him for
further study this evening.
Into his fairly busy day in the
executive wing of the White
House, Eisenhower also sandwich
ed in the sending of greetings to
Vice President Richard M. Nix
on on his 43rd birthday.
He sent to Congress by special
message his already controversial
“soil bank” plan for farmers, dis
patched 155 nominations to the
Senate, and conferred on his eco
nomic message, due in Congress
two weeks from today.
