Washington—Ever since Presi
dent Eisenhower’s heart attack oil
September 24 official Washington
hen spent most of its waking hours
trying to determine what the far-,
flung effects are likely to be.
As of the present . . . and based
on a number of imponderable* . . .
the consensus seems to he about as
follows:
1. New uncertainties aiv created
for business . . . but there is no
reason why the economy should not
continue its upward trend.
2. New problems confront the j
Republicans, most important of 1
which is this: If Mr. Eisenhower!
does not run for reelection, the
party will have lost its principal
ajset as head of the ticket.
3. The Republican difficulties j
present unexpected opportunities to j
the Democrats, who can tie depend
ed upon to utilize them to maxi- j
mum advantage.
4. If Mr. Eisenhower does not
run, the Union Bosses are given an
opportunity . . . four years ahead
of schedule . .. . to wage an all-out
campaign to try to take over the
White House and the Democratic *
Party. I
5. Added difficulties face the'
Republicans in trying to get their
legislative program through Con
gress. The Democrats can. lie ex
pected to be more 'belligerent in at
tacking the Administration's pro-!
gram.
In all of the discussion one ques
tion is uppermost. It is this: Will
Mr. Eisenhower nm for reflection?
A definite answer may ho delay
ed for months. But this can be ;'
said: It is extremely difficult to i
find anyone in Washington who i.
really believes that Mr. Eiseivhow- ,
er will be a candidate.
Even before he became ill, be)
sincerely did not wish to run so: . !
another term. Mrs. Eisenhower at- 1 1
so was opposed. Therefore, it is ■ ■
assumed that he will change his ; 1
domicile in January, L9.T7, front the (
White House in Washington to his '
farm in Gettysburg.
In this situation, th,- Republican j ;
politicians naturally arc seeking a • I
candidate who can bring victory i ‘
to the party. Mr, Eisenhower’s j 1
views as to this candidate will he i :

i/ Oldest Overcoat' Becoinos Museum Piece
At Wool Week Ceremonies in Charleston
53-Year-Old Coat
Still Almost Perfect,
Worn Every Winter
CHARLESTON, S. C., —The
oldest overcoat in service in
the United States, worn regul
arly for over 53 years by a Ten
nessee businessman, has been
placed on display in the nation’s
oldest museum in historic
Charleston.
The all-wool coat, still in near
perfect condition, is the property
of R. W. Willis of McMinnville,
Tenn., a retired hardware mer-!
chant, who traveled from his
home to Charleston to turn the
coat over to officials during this
month’s Wool observance, cen
tered in the city.
It is only logical, Mr. Willis
said, that the nation’s oldest
overcoat, tailored from the
world’s oldest fiber, should take j
;ts place in the Charleston Mu
ieum—the country’s oldest. The
garment was accepted for dis
play by E. Milby Burton, di
( rector of the museum.
Also on hand for the cere
mony was E. O. Breen of the
! Atlanta office of Amccotron
Corporation, whose firm —oper-
ating then as American Woolen
Company—made the fabric for
Mi. Willis' coat in 1902. Mr.
, Breen presented the Tennessean
with a new all-wool topcoat,
styled in one of the firm’s new
est fabrics and complete with
an all-wool, zip-otit lining,
t During his stay in Charleston,
j Mr. Willis wore the coat to
. major Wool Week functions.
Especially interested in the coat
was Gen. Mark W. Clark, presi
dent of the Citadel and honor
ary chairman of Wool Week, who
is already familiar with wool’s
record of durability and pro
tection in the uniforms of the (
armed forces.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE. Although long familiar with the I
ruggedness and durability of the Army’s all-wool uniform, Gen. |
Mark W. Clark is obviously impressed with the story behind an
all-wool overcoat worn each winter’ since 1902 by a Tennessee
businessman, R. W. Willis of McMinnville. Mr. Willis chats with
Mrs. Clark as the general gives the wool garment a thorough study. ,
The Tennessean brought the coat to Charleston, S. C., to present ,
it to the Charleston Museum as part of recent Wool Week cere
monies. The general, now president of the Citadel, served as
! Wool Week honorary chairman.

not effective, they point out, his

time on him.
The Vic,. President is more than |
aware of most of the difficulties
facing the Republicans, For not
long ago, before Mr. Eisenhower’s,
heart, attack, Mr. Nixon said pub
licly that the Republican party "is

tial candidate strong enough to get
the Republican party elected.”

Two businessmen sat together at

“were any of your boyish ambitions |

“Yes," replied the other, “When

At times we protest because
some folks appear too ambitious.
We feel that they trample tradi
tion; they alter the accepted way!
of doing things. Perhaps We envy
them a little, too. It is better
that we live in a world stirred by
men of ambition than to drift list
lessly through a life planned fet
us by someone else.
Man’s ambitions have been the
base for all progress. Where his
ambitions have been curbed by
kings or dictators, progress has
been slow and uncertain. Where
ambition is free to achieve, there
are no heights which man cannot
reach. Ambition stands on the
