...veteran professors at the University summarized the "Eisenhower problem" as follows: "The trustees should have known better than to pick Eisenhower.

With its other faults, the excess profits tax is also inefficient as a revenue raiser. Though it is five years since World War II's tax ended, a 25-man board is still considering thousands of claims for rebates.

There were some who talked like Corn &Hog Raiser Carroll Brown of Oskaloosa, Iowa. "When the farmer asks too much," he reasoned, "the rest of the guys may gang up on us some of these days and we'll get nothing." There were those who felt like C. B. Skipper of Georgia: "The Brannan Plan? I'm against it. I don't like to feel that anybody is giving me anything. The way things work now, I don't feel like anybody is giving me a handout."
