called Ugly Ike" One day a gang of schoolboys dropped into J. w. Howe's editorial offices to narrate how Ike fell off horse. "The horse turned his head to knock off fly, and Ike just fell off" they said. Dwight had come in walking on one leg and guarding his arm. He just grinned. Actually, the horse had stepped in a hole and fallen, but Ike never tried to explain it to the other boys. . The Eisenhower gang at school had an odd trait. They seemed to enjoy finding fault with themselves. /. Once Ike was play ing in a football game, had the ball and was leading the field for a touchdown. Suddenly he caught his foot on an old sunflower stub, was thrown slightly off balance, giving an opposing player time to catch him. Afterward, Ike pro- ceeded to berate himself, telling himself what a clumsy lout he was.

WIPE RECORD

In his final report on our war-production record MT. Krug, the retiring Chairman of the War Poduc- tion Board, has painted picture of unparalleled achievement During these years produced $1s6 000 0000 worth of weapons and supplies. The staggering nature of this total is apparent when it remembered that it is almost three times large the average annual production of goods and services for all civilian uses before the Despite this huge volume of goods diverted to war the civilian economy had available commodities and services than before the MT Krug properly points that we have suffered inconvenience rather than hardship the home front
 MT. Krug also emphasized the key role played by the Government in guiding regulating and financ- ing private enterprise in it's effort to achieve maximum production. In the handling of these controls WIPE had the key role It through its prortes alloca tions authorizations for plant expansion production planning and related controls that industrial equipment mobilized for war. While many "squeaks and rattes" developed also in connection with these controls, it is generally agreed that the agency did excellent job and made major on- tribution to final victory
 WIPE not only helped during the war but by its prompt relaxation of controls it has made impor tant contribution to peacetime production Even before final victory MT. Krug made it clear that the

Negroes in Baseball
(Washington Post)

The career in organized baseball of Jackie Rob nscn a Negro shortstop, will be worth close attention excellent test of whether all the recent laws and rulings aimed at an end of racial discrimination really reflect a change of popular feeling. Robinson has signed contract to play next for the Montreal Royals of the International League but if his abilities warrant and his services needed he will be claimed by the Brooklyn Dodgers, since the Montreal Club is a part of the Dodger syndicate.
 The success of this great innovation will depend not only on the attitude of the crowds, and the con- sequent effect attendance figures but also on the attitude of Jacksons white colleagues high propor tion of todays professional baseball players is from the Southern States Most of them, it may be assumed, share the general views of their compatriots the interracial question. On the bench in the clubhouse, and while travelling ball players are brought together under conditions of rather close physical intimacy and this might tend to aggravae prejudice or resent ment where it already exists As a result general deection of Southern players, and possibly of some white players from other sections, is not at all inn possible. Indeed, Branch Rickey, Jr, head of the Dodgers syndicate admitted that the experiment may cost Brooklyn of it's players. Some, he said, will steer away from club with colored players on its rosters Some players now with us may even quit However" he adds they'll be back in baseball after a year two of working in cotton mill"
 It is not exactly correct to say that Robinson is the first Negro to play in organized baseball Many years ago the late John McGraw of the Giants ac qured a light-skinned young Negro outfielder who was however represented to the crowds and to his fellow players Cuban The experiment was not successful. At the time pure Nordic ancestry mas been deemed necessary qualification for big league balpayer Some of the greatest figures in the game have been American Indians like Bender of the Athletics and Meyers of the Giants. In fact, big league balpayers have represented every conceivable variety of racial ancestry, except African.
 For many years the Negroes have had profes- siona leagues of their own, and Robinson had been playing for a club belonging to one of them, the Kansas City Monarchs. This raises delicate ques- ton in equity. The snatching of Robinson from the Monarchs might be considered "raiding, practice which when used against themselves, in the case, for example of the Federal League the club owners have considered highly unethical and reprehensibe. general competition among major and minor league club owners for the best Negro ball players would certainly wreck the Negro leagues and with it the not inconsiderable capital investments of Negro entre- preneurs

This fact is proved conclusively by the controversy now going on in the Republican Party. One branch is called the Square-Dealers, h. surgents, and Reformers. Although these men are loud in their de- nunciation of Cannon, Aldrich, and a few others who are hide-bound party men, yet they refuse to join any other party and at election vote the Republican ticket. ...
 There is an inborn desire in all normal and healthy boys to help the smaller contestants in an even fight" Eisenhower continued "A young man, in speaking of the po- litical situation the other day, said

ance, for he ngures that he will be about 1i15 of a millionth part of the vote of the United States. :. "A leader of a political party who is a clean and fearless figher," con- cluded young Eisenhower, "and possesses a winning manner is un- doubtedly the. means of attracting a large number of votes. The young man sees that the more honest and fearless leaders have become disgusted with the actions of the leaders and the party proper. He admires these men greatly but he cannot help but think and remark that they are fighting for many of the same principles which the Democratic Party advocated"
 That was Dwight Eisenhowers first and last contribution to the Democratic Party. According to the Abilene News:
 10 say that he handled himself nicely would be putting it mildly His speech was well-received."
 A few months later, Ike Eisen- hover was in West Point, where no one is supposed to be either a Democrat or Republican.

 William Jennings Bryan at that time had made many speeches in Abilene and the young folks liked to hear him. In fact, Bryan made some definite inroads on the Re- publicans. The Republican Party at that time was beginning to be split into two groups, led by Taft and Teddy Roosevelt. The fight in Abilene was bitter, and this was the situation when Dwight EiSen- hover started out in 1909 to get the proper endorsements to enter West Point.
 DWIGHT GOT TO WEST POINT
 The Eisenhower family had no political pull-on the contrary Dwight's father was listed as a Democrat, though he took little part in politics. Dwight himself was more active than his father, but whatever pull he had was with the Democrats. However, the factional Republican fight helped him Editor Howe, the towns chief Democratic leader. advised Dwight to go get the endorsement of Phil w. Heath, editor of the Abilene Chronicle and spokesman for the "Square-Deal" Republicans; also to get the endorsement of Charles M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Re- flectcr, spokesman for the Stand Pat" Republicans.
 Since young Eisenhower was not allied with either faction Heath and Harger were very friendly, and gladly gave him their support. Thus, he was able to obtain not only the endorsement of the Demo- crats, but of both Republican fac tions-a real compliment to his standing in the community.
 Eisenhowers first and only ven- ture into politics occurred while he was taking postgraduate work at the Abilene High School, prepara- tory to West Point. Chief Speaker at the Democratic banquet was George H. Hodges, later Governor of Kansas. Dwight's subject was "The Student in Politics"
 IKE'S FIRST SPEECH
 Two themes ran through the speech of the 19-year-old future commander to the Allied Armies in Europe-preparedness and help ing the under-dog.
 "There is an old proverb," the young orator told his audience of Democrats, that says As the twig is inclined, so the tree is bent A man after voting the straight ticket for several elections seldom changes from one side to the other. {.
