Barred by the 22nd Amendment from a third term, Dwight Eisenhower is keenly mindful that, whatever pleasant or unpleasant surprises may lie ahead of him in 1960, one element of the future is certain: in January 1961, another man will be inaugurated as President of the U.S. That certainty was much on the President's mind last week. Said he, in a brief speech to an Advertising Council meeting in Washington, a yearly rite: "I find now, as some eight years ago I was doing things for the first time. I am doing them now for the final time...
Just Two Proposals. Running the last lap of his presidency, Dwight Eisenhower is remarkably robust for a man of 69 who has outlived a heart attack, ileitis and a stroke, and his buoyancy continues to amaze his staff. But he has no notions about capping his presidency with any radical new programs. He is preoccupied with foreign relations-the currents of international communication set in motion by his trips abroad, Charles de Gaulle's visit in April, the summit meeting in May, his trip to the U.S.S.R. in June, and the renewed disarmament negotiations that began last week...
...years rather than on the makeup of the U.S. population in 1920. The amendments would greatly increase immigration from Asia, Africa and Southern Europe (Japan's quota would rise from 185 to 1,859, Italy's from 5,666 to 19,945, etc.).

...political enigma. Through the generations between the Civil War (when West Virginia was amputated from Virginia) and the great Depression, the mountainous state was usually a Republican fastness. After 1928 it was Democratic-until 1956, when thousands of registered Democrats switched allegiance, and Dwight Eisenhower carried West Virginia back into Republican ranks. How West Virginia will vote at any given time is anybody's guess, and it is in that battleground state that Democratic Candidates Hubert Humphrey and John F. Kennedy have entered into a primary fight that might yet make the Hatfields and McCoys sit up and take...
...Chamber of Commerce for the Northwest he loved so well. In 1950 he and his pretty wife Maurine became a political as well as a marital team-he as a state senator, she as a representative. In 1952 both Neubergers were reelected, the only candidates in Oregon to outrun Dwight Eisenhower. Two years later, Dick decided to try for the U.S. Senate and, with a warm assist from Senator Wayne Morse (an erstwhile Republican), Democrat Neuberger won by an eyelash 2,000 votes. In 1956 he returned the favor, campaigned vigorously for Morse (a Democrat by that time...
