Reports that Gen. Eisenhower
may become supreme commander
of the North Atlantic defense
forces had politicians wondering
today how such a development
would affect the 1852 presidential
race.
This question took the spotlight
momentarily off the approaching
congressional elections aid yes
terday's White House announce
ment that President Truman will
make one last-minute political
speech to sum up the issues of
the current campaign.
The President will address a
Democratic rally in st. Louis next
Saturday night on his way home
to vote, but he will be appealing
to voters across the country on
Nationwide radio chains.
Meanwhile. Harold Stassen re-
opened the Republican attack on
administration foreign policy in
Asia by suggesting the State De-
partment encourage the British to
recognize Red China and held out
promise the United States might
do likewise.
The former Minnesota Governor,
now president of the University of
Pennsylvania. sent telegram to
the White House, asking the Pres
ldent If this was not a fact. He
gave copy to the Republican Ma
tional Committee, which made it
public.
Here for Talks With Truman.
Although Gen. Eisenhower has
SHE'D away from any open interest
in becoming a presidential condi-
date. his name keeps bobbing up
in that Connection as a possible Re-
publican standard bearer two
years from now.
Consequently. as Gen. ike" ar
rived for talks today" with Presi-
dent Truman and Secretary of the
Army Pace. there was a growing
belief he may be called back into
uniform if the Western European
defense ministers now in session
mere decide the overall COM
mander should come from the
United States.
The first reaction of political
observers here was that the effect
Iof such a development on Gen.
Eisenhower's political future would
depend largely on how long his
new military assignment lasted.
If, as some believe, the general
would be asked only to take the
Job for year or so, while the
Western defenses are being forged
together, he could be very much
in the political picture again in
1852 without raising a finger in his
OWN DeQaI.
Would Strengthen Prestige.
Such an assignment would keep
him in the public eye. performing
a task vital to the peace of the
world. 1t would serve to strength
en- the prestige he acquired as
commander of the European forces
in bringing victory in World
War II.
OF course, much would depend
on how world events shape UP in
the next two years. If in 1852

Truman "WOrst Ever To
 Be At White House

NEW YORK, (P)-Republican Harold E. Stassen declared in a speech last night that President Truman is "the worst President" and "the cleverest politician" ever to occupy the White House.
 MT. Truman's forthcoming tour of the West is political venture "to try and get a puppet Con- greSs," Stassen added.
 Calling the President "a post graduate of the most effective po- litical school in America - the Pendergast School of Kansas City," Stassen told a Republican meeting:
 From that school he knows the methods of attacks on opposition, of claims for all improvement, of lodging blame for things that go wrong, and marShaling votes through organization.
 "The tragedy for America is that the same school which made Truman such a clever politician also made him such a bad Presi- dent"
 Stassen, President of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, former Governor of Minnesota and un- succeussful contender for the COP Presidential nomination in 1948, delivered his blast at MT. Truman in a speech before the women's Auxiliary of the New York County Manhattam Repub- lican committee.

Late Returns Change Line-Ups
(By The Associated PreSS)

Late returns from scattered pre- cincts have given Rep. Warren Taylor of Fairbanks the lead in the three-man race for two Dem ocratic nominations for Territori- al Senators in the Fourth Division
 With 54 out of 70 precincts re- ported in the Division that sprawls across the middle of Alaska from the Canadian border and the Arc tic Ocean to the Boring Sea, the unofficial tally yesterday was:
 Taylor HAP; Jesse Lander 1902, Robert HoOpes 1047.
 The order is just reversed from the standing in the early returns, which were mostly from Fair banks. In the first returns, Hoopes was running ahead and Taylor was third. The race has been watched throughout the Territory because of Taylor's prominent role in the 1949 Legislature. He was chairman of both the judici- ary and the rules committees in House.
 Another change in the Legisla- tive races was reported in the Second Division CNome). Rep. Percy Ipalook went into first place in the race for the Republi- can nomination for the Divisions s two Senate seats. He went ahead of Sen. Charles Jones and Sen.

General Douglas Macarthur warned today against "the inter national perfidity" of communism and for the second time in 10 months suggested the possibility of outlawing Japan's communist party.
 In statement marking the third anniversary of Japan'S mo war" constitution, Macarthur said there was no danger of the com munistS coming into power by constitutional means. However, he warned that communism now makes but shallow pretense of seeking such an objective"
 Japanese communists, he said, might make "abusive use of free dom" to create conditions of law leSSneSs and unrest to open the way for seizure of power through intimidation and force"
 Two British Commonweal h governments, Australia and South Africa are working out legislation to ban the communist party. Mac Arthur raised the possibility of OutlaWing communism in Japan in his Fourth of July speech last year. Communists elected 41 members to the Japanese Diet CParliamenD last January but they have been losing heavily in prestige since then.

As King Pin Of Illegal
Operation Activity
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, May 30.-Dr. AL
bert MacCrowe, described as the
king pin" of an abortion ring.
was fined $4,000 and sentenced
to five years in prison yesterday
on conspiracy charge.
Judge w. Conwell Smith sus-
pended the prison sentence after
being told it probably would cause
the death of the 73-year- old de-
fendant.
MacCrowe and eight others
pleaded guilty to similar charges
in criminal court. Judge Smith
levied fines totaling $l1 900 on the
others and gave them suspended
sentences.
One Man Acquitted.
Paul T. Leather of the Hamp-
stead. Md, was the only one of
10 defendants to plead not guilty.
He was acquitted.
MacCrowe himself was acquit-
ted OF another abortion charge
in a case over which Judge Smith
presided 10 years ago.
In passing sentence yesterday
he said the verdict in the earlier
case didn't convince me he wasn't
engaged in that business. I am
convinced he is the king pin.
Therefore. the important thing in
this case. is to put DR.. MacCrowe
out of business.
Widespread Activity Charged.
Prosecutors said the ring ar
ranged abortions for patients re-
ferred to MacCrowe by doctors in
Pennsylvania. Virginia and Mary
land.
Raymond Coffman was fined
$4,000, his wife $3.50.
Other penalties included $4,000
for Chris c. Campbell of Upperco,
$500 for Thelma Ensor of Upperco,

timore, $1,000 for MacCrowe's Sec
retary, $500 for Mrs. Laura M.
