LONDON, (P)—Most West European newspapers heaved sighs of relief Saturday that General Dwight D. Eisenhower—the American they know best—won the Republican presidential nomination.
The Communists as usual, dissented.
In government and diplomatic offices, however, there was a discreet, tactful silence. Officials declined comment for fear of being accused of meddling in U.S. domestic affairs.
Most newspapers happily assumed the Republicans' choice meant that, regardless of the outcome of the November presidential election, Europe would be assured of continued U.S. economic and military aid in the fight against Communism.
The only sour note came from Communist and extreme Left-wing papers. Moscow radio broadcast the fact that Eisenhower won the nomination but made no comment. It left it to the Western Communist press to brand the winner a "Wall Street candidate."
