Finally he decided to write a letter addressed to
himself reviewing' the facts and challenging himself
to make the break in the. next ninety days. Be wrote
this letter and signed it.
Next he made up a list of his friends and decided
to call on them for help, giving his qualifications and
the reason why he f^lt he should get out of the slow
moving banking business.
The first man be called on was a vice president
of another San Francisco bank who said he would be
glad to offer John a. position in Us bank, but they both
felt that would not fundamentally solve the problem.
In a few day* this vice president telephoned John to come to see an,

This Week In Washington
IT IS ONLY a matter of day* un
* til Dwight Eisenhower becomes
President Eisenhower and assumes
one of the greatest responsibilities
of the world, possibly the most im
portant single position in the world.
Washington is always in a dizzy
whirl when a new administration
assumes power, but even more so
this time because it will be the first
complete change in 20 years.
And as the time approaches for
the "big change," Washington ob
servers are trying to find they an
swers to a number at questions
that ttme alone will answer. One
at them concerns possible discord
within his party over foreign policy.
Elsenhower has named his cabi
net and top advisers. Most at them
are conservative in that they be
lieve in a balanced budget and,
what many call, “orthodox” finance.
Many point out that the President
elect himself believes In these
ideals.
On the other hand. Eisenhower
is committed to a strong, aggres
sive foreign policy that will cost
billions. It can not, under any cir
cumstances, cost much less than
that at previous Democratic ad
min strati on* during the first year
or so.
This, brings up the question In
the minds of many Washington ob
servers. Will there be a conflict be
tween the two points of view within
his administration? Can the two be
reconciled without damage to the
whole?
Most observers believe Eisen
hower. because of his tremendous
popularity and forceful nature, will
pull the two ends together and weld
them into an unbreakable chain.
But it certainly will be a difficult
job. Time alone holds the answer.
Another of the questions being
asked in Washington is how com
plete is the Eisenhower-Taft ac
| cord?
The general feeling now Is that
the two men will, as a general
rule, be able io work in harmony.
There are a number of logical rea
sons for this thinking.
First, it is being pointed out. that
Eisenhower’s endorsement of Taft
for the post of majority leader has
almost completely erased previous
discord between the two men. Had
Eisenhower endorsed someone else
there is no doubt there would have
been a bitter battle in the senate
over the election of a- majority
leader. Such a battle would have
hears within ' the
Second, Senator Taft is deter-'
mined that the Republican admini
stration will be a successful one.
And he desires, above all else, to
keep the Republican party strong
and healthy. That oan not be dona
with discord within the administra
tion.
And third, as majority leader
Senator Taft is pledging a new
loyalty to Eisenhower. In that post,
he becomes the President’s repre
sentative at the capitol. Such a
position calls lor trust and under
standing between the White House
and the senator.
Most observers believe that El
senhower would never have backed
Taft for the post if there was a
possibility tor an unbreachable
conflict
No one in Washington is thinking
that the two men. both forceful and
intelligent, will agree upon every
subject. But observers do believe
that they will discuss their points
of disagreement and compromise
tor the good of the Republican ad
ministration and the country.
As time goes along there will be
numerous rumors concerning dis
cord. It Is unlikely, however, they
will eveT reach the stage of the
famous Barkely-Roosevelt split of
the New Deal era.
