Hoover Basks In
Reflected Glory
At Inauguration
By WARREN DI'FFEE
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON HPI The pink
cheeked old man wile went out in
gloom 20 years ago basked Tues
day in the reflected glory of a new
Republican President.
That road from the throngs along
the inaugural way was something
Herber C. Hoover must have
thought often that he w’ould never
hear again.
The cheers were primarily for
Dwight D. Eisenhower. But not
since his own inauguration as the
last Republican president in 1929
had the aging Mr. Hoover heard
anything like the ovation lie got
himself as he rode along close be
hind Mr. Eisenhower.
For 20 long years the Democrats
had hung the word "Hoover" arcund
the GOP like a political millstone.
And the 78-year-old. ex-president
sometimes seemed a forgotten man.
not-only to the public but to his
own party.
But the softening years mellowed
them all—the Republicans, the
public, and Mr. Hoover himself.
And Tuesday, only Mr. and Mrs.
Eisenhower and Vice President
Richard M Nixon and his wife
got more recognition.
The once criticized Mr. Hoover,
now a softer, gentler old man of 87
sat in an honored box in front of
the White House alongside the new
President and Mrs. Eisenhower.
They seemed to want him to share
the honors.
To top off the day he made his
first appearance at an inaugural
ball since before he was elected In
1928.
Mr. Hoover did not attend his own
inaugural'ball. And for the next 24
long years he never went near one
for obvious political reasons.
But at the Georgetown Univer
sity gymnasium, he stood in a spot
light as thousands cheered him to
the rafters.
In the inaugural parade, his face
was serene, sometimes smiling
never somber. But from time to
time he doffed his hat—not a hom
burg—and waved with a gentle
smile to the thousands packing the
curbstones.
The biggest applause came as
his convertible rolled down broad
Pennsylvania Avenue in front of i
the White House—the same block
he traveled once before in an open
car.
Wilson Might
(Continued From Paee One)
ly expedient to drop Wilson, stock
sale or no, and find a new defense
secretary. ,
HIGH PRICE
Selling the GM stock would be j
a high price for Wilson to pay for
the privilege of serving in the new
Republican cabinet. He would be
liable to a capital gains tax of !
26 percent on the "profit” portion
of the sale proceeds. How much !
the tax would come to cannot be j
computed, except by Wilson’s per
sonal accountants, since it depends
on what he paid for the stock when j
he bought it and other factors.
Associates said, however, it was j
not the money but the principle
of the thing that caused Wilson to j
balk at selling the stock.
It was learned President Eisen
hower suggested selling the stock j
in a talk with Wilson Tuesday, and
Wilson told the chief executive he ]
feared such a course would reflect j
on his “integrity.’’
What Wilson meant, associates
explained, was that he is too hon
orable to let stockholdings in a pril j
vate firm influence his official de- j
cisions as defense secretary, and
he does not like to give the appear
ance of admitting that it is neces
sary for him to sell his stock in
order to be an honest Cabinet offi
cer.
IKE SYMPATHIZES
It Was indicated that Mr. Eisen
hower sympathizes with Wilson’s
position, but the new President
had other factors to consider too
notably the prestige damage W’hich
his administration would sutler
from having a cabinet appointee
rejected by the Senate.
A highly - placed Democratic
source, who cannot be named, said !
that "almost all” Democratic sen
ators were ready to vote against f
Wilson if Mr. Eisenhower should i
ask that he be confirmed without j
selling his stock. The informant i
said the Democrats were “certain” j
of enough Republican support to j
defeat the nomination under such !
circumstances.
A member of the Senate Repub
lican Policy Committee agreed
that Wilson "could not be con
firmed" without shedding his stock
and predicted that Mr. Eisenhower
would “have to withdraw the nom- j
ination.”
