WASHINGTON, April Is = The other night I sat across the table from man who is considered one of the great news editors of these turbulent times.

KEYSTONE COMEDY
STUFF IN ABILENE

The generals mother still
likes to tell a story about Ike
and pie. Ike was stirring up
a chef d'oeuvre one afternoon
when Brother Ed slipped in and
made crack at the cook. Ike
responded by letting Ed have
the mixings right in the face.
Ed scraped dough out of his
teeth. grabbed a handful off the
floor. and the boys fought II out
with the embryo pie.
The kitchen was a shambles
when the boys heard ma and
pa drive up. Hurriedly. Ike
collected the grimy remains of
his masterpiece. dumped it back
in the bowl and made his pie.
The folks ate it and pronounced
il good. whereupon Ike told
them about the fight. They
were inclined TO be rat h er
skeptical about Ike's cooking
thereafter.
According TO Brother Milton.
Gen. Eisenhower was just about
the most normal kid who ever
lived. He wasn't especially
smart in school. He never got
in any real serious deviltry. but
Milton says there never was
ANY good clean trouble In
Abilene that Ike wasn't mixed
up in.
