Kansas

University of Kansas professor declares
one must have sense of humor to live in
that state. Allen Grafton the teacher, said at
a meeting in Des Moines:
II give you Kansas. The State where there
are more rivers and less water, more dry
voting and less dry living Where you can
look farther and see less than any place in
the world except Texas
It would be interesting to know what William
Allen Whites reply to the indictment would
be if he were here to speak in rebuttal. It
was Whites editorial, whats the Matter with
Kansas" that shot him like a skyrocket into
the newspaper armament more than genera
ton ago, a place he retained until his death.
But Kansas possesses many great attributes.

CITY IS PLANNING
TO WELCOME HERO

All civic, fraternal and patriotic
organizations of the city are to be
invited to send representatives to
a meeting to be held at 1890 o.
clock Wednesday morning to map
a tentative program for home
coming celebration in honor of
Capt. Charles p Murray, Jr., Will
mington's No. l war hero and win
ner of the Congressional Medal of
Honor.
Decision to call such a meeting
was arrived at yesterday morning
by Mayor w. Ronald Lane after
he had conferred with other city
officials Place of the meeting will
be announced later, Mayor Lane
said.
Tentative plans, proposed at yes
terday's session of the city council,
include an invitation to Governor
R. Gregg Cherry to attend the
ceremonies and request that all
stores close during the program in
honor of the young Infantry Off
Ger.
City officials have expressed the
opinion that unless Wilmington
can do itself proud in honoring
it's hero" the celebration should
not be attempted.
AS yet no definite information as
to when Capt. Murray will arrive
has been received.
1t is understood that the COM
manding officer of Bluethenthal Air
base has offered to have Capt.
Murray,s father, Charles P. Muir
ray, ST., flown to New York to
meet his son and accompany him
home. The commander also has
offered the services of a special
group of So planes to fly overhead
during the celebration.

ration he inspired, among all who
have commanded the armies of a
coalition.
He is, of course, an uncommon
man who along with great profess
sional military competence has a
mind of exceptional power-par-
ticularly for discerning clearly
and for judging wisely among the
plans, proposals, inspirations, and
claims of other men. But neither
his abilities nor his virtues are in
themselves rare: his genius is to
have in an uncommon degree
command in an uncommon bal
ance, common sense and common
humanity. a.
Thus he comes home the con-
quering hero, and it has never &C.
Cured to any one to think that
the vast powers he exercised could
be abused. Yet they could have
been, and in other hands, less
morally secure than his, might
easily have been. We do not per-
haps realize how great was the
power vested in Eisenhower be-
cause there has never been the
slightest suspicion in any quarter
that he was using his power for
any purpose but that for which it
was designed. Yet we do not ap-
preciate this man if we do not
realize that the political power of
EisenhoWer's command was DO
tentially enormous, and that never
in any slightest degree was that
power used, much less abused.
In Eisenhower command the
true constitutional relationship of
authority between the civilian and
the military has been scrupulors-
ly maintained. The basic principle
of the democratic system in SUBJ
ordinating military authority to
civilian has been observed in the
spirit and the letter. 1t has been
evident that Eisenhower did not

General Eisenhower is not one
to have thought too much about
what history will say of him. But
his friends have no reason to doubt
the verdict: the cheering in the
streets will die down but his
renown will endure.
He has accomplished great
thing and he has done it in a
great way. AS supreme command
er he has been most impressively
true to the way Of life which his
armies were commissioned to de.
fend. He has led VIGOROUSLY the
largest and most powerful inter.
national force in the annals OF
war: the democratic way is his
ingrained personal habit, and he
did not depart from it, or alter
it, when he Waged war: no small
element Of his success, almost Ger.
tainly the determining element, is
that the armies of the democratic
nations were in fact commanded
by truly democratic man.
He created and ne maintained
unity of purpose and harmony in
action among all the arms and
services and among the Allies. Al
though he bore the majestic title
of supreme commander, in fact he
commanded by leading and he led
ty consent. 1t is an art which is
not described in any book of rules
because it is reserved for those
who are gifted with a happy ma
ture and are faithful to a good
philosophy. Every one likes Esen-
hover. Men trust and do not fear
him. They follow him and do not
envy him. They take his orders
and do not feel diminished. They
are responding to a nature which
is outgiving and responsive, affec-
tomato and modest. But it was not
only his nature, it was his demo-
cratic virtue, his unquestioning
and effortless respect for the ulti-
mate equality of men, that en-
abled him to become. pre-eminent,
