Ives, By Winning Nomination, Has Good Chance for Presidency
New York—(U.P) Let's take a look at a man who has just been put in a spot that leads to the spot that leads to the Presidency. HS Senator from New
He is Irving McNeil Ives, 58, at present U.S. Senator from New York,a quiet, pipe-smoking Eisenhower Republican.
Mr. Ives has been given the nod as GOP choice for governor to succeed the retiring Thomas E. Dewey. He is almost certain to get the formal nomination at the Republican state convention later this month.
There is a good way to go from Wednesday's "nod" to the White House but the record shows that Mr. Ives already has at least as good a mathematical chance as any man in the U.S. to be President one day.
The governor's mansion in Albany through the years has sent four men to the White House and five others into unsuccessful battle for the Presidency.
The winners were Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. The losers were Horatio Seymour, Samuel J. Tilden, Charles Evans Hughes, Alfred E. Smith, and Dewey.
And seeing that we've had only 34 presidents, the percentages give
Mr. Ives a good running start.
One big factor that weighs against him is that Mr. Ives does not appear to have the surging personal ambition necessary to drive to Pennsylvania avenue. But the Presidential bug has a way of biting those even remotely exposed to it.
There are a great many practical obstacles in the way, too. In November he must beat the Democratic gubernatorial nominee—probably either Averell Harriman or Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr.
He is not a spectacular type (he has no publicity man of his own) and is little known outside New York. But then neither was Adlai Stevenson, and Mr. Ives has a chance to make his mark if he gets to Albany.
A lot would depend on what President Eisenhower decides about his own political future. Mr. Ives was one of the first Senators to support Mr. Eisenhower before the 1952 convention. His closest political adviser is Gov. Dewey.
His record in the state legislature and in Washington is that of a liberal Republican, an internationalist, a party regular who yet has some pretty independent notions.
He has strong Negro support in New York as result of pushing passage of the state's anti-discriminatory employment legislation. His record on labor votes with the CIO shows him voting "wrong" according to that union's boxscore only four out of 17 times during his first Senate term.
He voted against the McCarran immigration bill, against federal control of tidelands oil, for public health and housing measures. He tangled with the late Robert Taft on some aspects of the Taft-Hartley bill but in the end voted for it. His record is viewed none too happily by the "old guard" of the GOP.
A lean six-footer, he was compared with Jimmy Stewart's character in "Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington" when Mr. Ivens first went to the capitol. But he is no bumbling amateur. He is an excellent, flagwaving orator with parliamentary experience since 1930.

KU Awarded Music Grant
Phone 524
The establishment of one of five national $500 Sterling-Mathias memorial scholarships in music therapy has been announced by Mu Phi Epsilon, national music sorority, the donor.
The award for either the current or 1955-56 academic year will be made to a graduate woman in functional music.
Mu Phi Epsilon set up the awards this summer at its 50th anniversary convention, honoring the
founders, Dr. W. S. Sterling and Elizabeth Mathias Fuqua.
KU was the first school in the nation to establish graduate training in music therapy. The other four $500 scholarships were given to Michigan State college, Ohio university, the Peabody conservatory in Baltimore, Md., and the College of Pacific Conservatory of Music, Stockton, Calif.
