THE
Babe-in-the-Woods
EPUBLICANS - for - Eisenhower
heaved a big sigh of relief when
their proposed candidate finally
climbed on his plane and flew back
to Paris. During the short time he
was here, they estimated thatttheir
man had helped Senator Taft pick
up about 100 additional delegates
for the GOP nomination.
"He may be a great gencral,"
mourned one Republican active in
t h e Eisenhower-for-President or-
ganization, "but he certainly is a
babe-in-the-woods when it comes
to politics."
What caused Eisenhower sup
porters to tear their hair was the
way their man cut the ground out
from under his chief backer with
the statement that he hadn't heard
from Sen. James Duff of Pennsyl-
vania "directly or indirectly for a
long, long time."
In the first place this was no
true. For, earlier in the day,
Ike's own aide, Lt. Col. Robert
L. Schulz, had phoned Senator
Duff from Louisville. He phoned
around Sunday noon, and Eisen-
hower's disclaimer to the press
was Sunday afternoon.
Second, word was sent to Senator
Duff two weeks before Eisenhower
arrived that he was coming and to
keep November 4, 5 and 6 open.
Third and more important, Duff
had been waging a steady though
quiet campaign to organize district
leaders throughout the country and
take delegates away from Taft.
Last month, for instance, he made
two speeches in North Carolina
urging Eisenhower for President.
Immediately following the two
speeches, John Gordon Bennett,
scion of the famed New York Her-
ald editor, went to North Carolina,
began the actual work of pledging
delegates.
Anguished Phone Calls
Most essential part of the Ben-
nett-Duff sales talk, naturally, had
to be that Eisenhower was a Repub-
lican, had given definite assurances
that he would be a candidate, and
would not leave his followers out on
a limb. Without such assurances,
no local politician wants to deal.
Imagine their horrified surprise,
therefore, when local leaders read
in the press that Eisenhower hadn't
heard from Senator Duff "directly
or indirectly for a long, long time."
Immediately long-distance phone
calls began coming in to Etsen-
hower lieutenants from various
parts of the country.
"You said Jim Duff was master-
minding the general's campaign,"
protested one North Carolina Re-
publican. "How can he mastermind
the campaign when he hasn't even
been in touch with him? You said
Duff had assurances Ike would run.
But Ike says he hasn't heard from
him.
"In view of that," continued the
irate North Carolinian, "we're get-
ting in touch with Dave Ingalls
(Taft's campaign manager) as fast
as we can. We've got to protect
ourselves."
What the North Carolinian
had in mind was the way Eisen-
hewer rebuffed various Demo-
crats who wanted to draft him
in 1948, making them too late
to catch the Truman bandwag-
on. Truman has never forgiven
Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois,
Jimmy Roosevelt, Sen. Olin
Joknston of South Carolina and
others who plumped for Ike.
Republicans know this, and fig.
are Taft might be just as vin-
dictive as Truman.
Those are some of the sordid but
essential ABC's of politics which
Eisenhower doesn't understand, but
will have to learn.
Behind the Peaee
Besides the genuine desire for
peace, two key factors are behind
the American disarmament pro-
posals in Paris:
1. A report from U.S. Ambas-
sador Allan Kirk, just returned
from Moscow, that both Stalin and
the politburo are suffering a case
of war Jitters, think the U.S.A. is
ready for war, and that Russia
should get the drop on us. Kirk
warned that there is grave daoger
Russia may start war for this rea-
son; therefore urged the President
to be extremely careful about all
public statements on Russia--at
leagt until the war hysteria dies
down.
2. The effective manner in which
Russia has put across the idea that
it is the real advocate of peace and
that the United States is warmon-
gering.
War on Piggy Bank
The Bureau of the Mint has pri-
vately declared war on that trusty
receptacle of America's loose
change, the piggy bank. It's all be-
cause of the shortage of pennies.
The government has something
like 19,197,534,000 pennies outstand.
ing and another 175,000,000 were
minted during the month of Octo-
ber. However, there's still a big
shortage, forcing many banks to
ration thei outlay of pennies.
That Time Again
Yes, lor all but the southern-
flwelling members of the angling
fraternity, it's that time again
that dismal time when fishing gear
must be put away until Spring
comes again.
However, even in this depressing
act there can be instilled a meas-
ure of prolongation of one's fishing
fun. for the preparation of fishing
tackle for the long winter months
of storage can be engaging and
interesting.
No angler worth the title, any-
way, would consider storing his
gear for the winter without putting
it in as good shape as possible for
the months of inactivity.
Re-Store Lines
And that means:
Taking lines from reels and stor-
ing them on large-diameter con-
tainers, hung where dry air may
circulate through them.
Giving casting reels a good clean-
ing and greasing and seeing to it
that automatics are oiled and
greased where they should be and
that single-action reels are well-
cleaned and oiled.
The storing of reels in places
where the cold will not cause
grease or oil to congeal.
The wiping dry of all fly reds,
inspection of ferrules and guides
and taking care to store bamboo
rods in places where there will
not be a great variation in heat or
cold at any one time. A very thin
coating of fine oil on steel rods
will protect the finish during the
winter, but glass rods will need no
care other than a good wiping-dry
of the surfaces and an inspection
Df the guides and wrappings. Win-
ter offers a good time to replace
worn eyes and rework frayed wrap-
pings.
Clean Tackle Box
Going through the tackle box and
cleaning much-used plugs and re-
furbishing the metal hardware on
same.
Checking one's fly book for worn
or frayed flies and steaming wilted
hackle to bring back its erectness.
Looking through upcoming cata-
logs of next season's tackle offer-
tugs--probably the brightest ac-
tivity in the angler's indoor sports
uring the winter season.

Now You Know
During the summer months, fish-
ermen, resort owners and others
are occasionally disturbed to find
dead fish floating in the water or
washed up on shore on some of
the many lakes in Wisconsin.
Although sometimes the mortality
is small, at other times the dead
fish are found in sufficient num-
bers to warrant a fishery invesLiga-
Lion. The appearance of a fish
mortality on a lake during July or
August is aptly called "summer- i
kill."
In any discussion of the reasons
behind a summer-kill on a lake,
reference should be made to some
of the factors that could be re-
sponsible. These are:
1. Natural mortality due to old
age.
2. N a t u r a I mortality following
spawning
3. Parasites and diseases.
4. High temperature of the water.
5. Depletion of dissolved oxygen
in the water.
6. Beaching of fish by storms and
stranding of fish in pockets
by rapid changes in the water
level.
7. Shortage of the proper kind of
food or consumption of improp-
er kind of food.
8. Pollution.
9. Mechanical injuries due to (a)
wave action (sand in gills,
etc.); (b) commercial and state
fishing gear (various types of
nets); and (c) sport fishermen.
10. Detrimental effects of aquatic
plant life.

Trolling for Perch
Both white and yellow perch of-
ten are caught by trolling. Most
fishermen use fly rods or bar
casting tackle, and they troll bright
spinners with blades about an inch
long, followed by a snelled hook
baited with worms. The problem
here, Just as in fishing for perch
by any other method, is to find the
fish. They usually strike readily
once the proper depth and the right
locatton are determined.
Shallow trolling will help you find
the fish.

Fishing Frogs
There are many anglers who do
not like to fish frogs and won't do
so because of the humane element
involved, but for those who haven't
any such scruples, here's a tip:
When fishing frogs below the sur-
face, they should be fished like
minnows and a float may be used
or not, as fits the desires of the
angler.
There are two schools of thought
on the frog as bait, but most wil
argue minnows are better.

FIRST AID TO THE
- AILING HOUSF
Refinishing Woodwork
QUESTION: Our home has fir
woodwork. This was painted with
white enamel when we purchased
it twelve years ago. With two
small children, the woodwork was
left with their hand and finger
prints. Several years ago I used
an undercoat and finished it with
light oak and stain varnish. The
last few times I washed it, it
cracked and peeled, leaving the
old finish showing. Would it be
possible for me to finish my wood-
I work myself?
ANSWER: When you varnished
over the old finish you evidently
did not prepare the surfaces suf-
ficiently to take the new finish;
therefore the finish failed. Before
doing anything more, all the o1
I finishes should be well scraped
ff down to the bare wood. If you
l zan get hold of an electric porta-
i ble sander, this would save time
and work in removing the old
finishes. Or you can use a varnish
remover to soften the finish, and
follow by scraping with scrapers,
steel wool and rough cloths. Then
clean the surfaces very thorough-
ly with turpentine, for every trace
of remover must come off; if any
is left on, it will work on the new
finish. (Liquids are inflammable--
I be careful of fire.) For the finish
that you like so well, bleach out
the wood with a prepared wood
bleach. Next, coat the surfaces
with a liberal coat of white paste
wood filler tinted with color-in-
il thinned with turpentine to the
consistency of thick paint. (Or
you may be able to buy a special
"pickled" wood stain.) After fif-
teen minutes wipe off most of the
coating across the grain with a
coarse cloth. The remaining filler
should be allowed to dry hard.
Then smooth the wood with very
fine sandpaper. Wipe off dust thor-
ughly and finish with white shel-
lac or varnish.
