Citizen Ike Gets Tough On the New Frontier
DENVER—(UPI)—Private citizen Dwight D. Eisenhower, campaigning across the country on behalf of Republican candidates, still has the grin. But he's balancing it off these days with some sharply-worded hard talk about the new frontier.
EISENHOWER told a cheering crowd of 8,000 persons here last night the "far frontier" was spewing "brassy and boastful words," failing to react to real crises and manufacturing false ones, regimenting farmers, and lacking the courage "to distinguish between the necessary and the merely convenient."
Eisenhower leaves for Omaha, Neb., today after launching two of the most vigorous attacks on the Kennedy administration of his current political tour yesterday at Cheyenne, Wyo., and Denver.
"The Washington record of these past 20 months presents a picture of political connivance instead of statesmanship; of selfish grabs for power instead of respect for our concepts of balance in government; of arrogant assertion of Washington infallibility instead of readiness to trust in the wisdom of the American people," he said.
He said he would probably never see eye-to-eye with the Kennedy administration. To the new frontiersmen, he said, "I am nothing but a backward-looking, a backward-thinking, a backward-minded has-been.
"FOR MY PART, I am tired—terribly tired—of hearing America run down by them, of hearing their brassy and boastful words and watching their bumbling actions.
"Especially, I am tired of their sluggishness in real crisis that may peril the nation and their frantic haste to make votes out of manufactured crises; of their hysterical efforts to substitute, for the deliberative processes of a congress that we elect to represent us, the pronouncements and edicts of a tiny, self-assertive clique that represents
little of experience and less of wisdom."
Eisenhower flew to Denver from Cheyenne, where he told a crowd of 1,500 that while the administration was constantly enlarging its power, Congress was abdicating some of its own in important areas.
"No evidence of this superior over-powering wisdom makes it justifiable to put our destinies in one place," he said.
