Sound Instincts. The fact was that many a correspondent in Ike's audience was astonished, not so much by the President's popularity as by the realization that Ike, never a politico, had revealed himself as a man of sound politician's instincts. His veto of the ill-smelling natural gas bill last February and of the farm bill, his utter frankness about his health, and last week his swift appointment of the Senate's most distinguished Democrat, Georgia's retiring Walter George, to a NATO ambassadorship (see below) -all these have turned resoundingly...
...farm bill veto you say [April 23]: Eisenhower "decided to let principle not politics be his guide." Those who, after the President vetoed the gas control bill, said, "Now we know he is a candidate for reelection" have had their words flung back into their teeth. Dwight Eisenhower has again so refreshingly reminded us of the saying: Politicians look to the next election, statesmen to the next generation...

Farm-state Congressmen who joined the stampede to vote for the Democrats' ill-conceived farm bill (TIME, April 23) have received relatively little mail about the President's veto. The reaction has been selective, largely by crop. Many Southern farmers are angry because the support prices on cotton and peanuts will be considerably below last year's. There is some anger and disappointment among wheat farmers because the wheat price support announced by the President (a national average...
...will do the job by a kind of testing system. One part of the machine is adjusted in such a way that it "has a veto" over any proposed solution that does not check. It says no, no, no, perhaps a billion times no. At last the right set of answers comes along. The critical part of the machine is satisfied. It signals its O.K., and the whole machine stops, displaying the right answers winnowed out of a billion wrong ones...
