The Washington Merry - Go - Round By DREW PEARSON 1948, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.) (Copyright, ASHINGTON— GOP politicos have learned of a highly sig- niticant conversation between Gen- eral Eisenhower and Leonard Find- er of the Manchester, N. H., Union Leader, the man who received the famous Eisenhower letter telling of the Generals withdrawal from the 1948 race for the Republican Presidential nomination. After that letter, Finder receiv- ed so much mail from people who still thought Eisenhower should run that he finally called Ike on the phone and asked him once again what the political score . was. Eisenhower repeated the factthat he did not want the Presidential nomination but gave the impres- sion he would not swim too strong- ly ~against the tide if it started to wash him into the White House. Ike's greatest fear was that he might get involved in petty poli- tics, also that any political activ- ities by him might reflect on the Army. He told Finder that he would abide by his letter of withdraw- al, but admitted that he could not and would not stop Finder from making any statements to the con- trary. “I will not tell you what you should or should not do,” Tke said.
