Eisenhower Is 'WiIIinq
To Spend Rest Of Life
To Unity Free World
By Jock Bell
Associoted Press Stoff Writer

Gen. Eisenhower has said he is
willing to spend the rest of my
life" in unifying the free worlds
defenSes against possible Com
munist attack.
That statement made to Sen
ators in closed committee meet
ing February popped up today
to cloud the 1852 presidential pic
ture
The 60-year-old commander OF
the North Atlantic defense forces
has been suggested as possible
choice for the presidential NOM
ination of either the Republican
or Democratic party next year.
While Gen. Eisenhower hasn't
indicated publicly whether he
would accept a nomination in
1852, he made it clear to the
Senate Foreign Relations and
Armed Services Committees in
testimony on the troops Europe
issue that he regards his present
job as one of the greatest magni-
tude. The testimony was made
available yesterday.
Still Can Achieve Security.
He told the Senators he be-
lieves there is a growing aware
ness here and in Europe that I'VE
still can achieve the unity in the
free world that will make us Sc
cure if we will all work" adding:
When you have confidence in
the plan, I say this: I have this
much confidence. that I am will
ing to devote the rest of my life
to try to make it work"
Some politicians have expressed
doubt that Gen. Eisenhower would
feel his military job is close enough
to completion by mid-1952 to per-
NIT his name to be entered in
balloting at presidential nominat-
ing conventions then.
He is now on leave from the
presidency of Columbia University,
Confidence Is Big Factor.
Gen. Eisenhower APPARENTLY has
set the end of 1852 as his target
for assembling an effective de-
fenSe force in Europe. He said by
that time I'VE ought to begin to
feel pretty good and really over
the hump" on the job.
Most lawmakers believe that the
confidence Europeans have in Gen.
Eisenhower will contribute greatly
to the success of the Western re-
armament venture.
Thus they figure the general
might become something of an
indispensable man as supreme
commander.
Gen. Eisenhower apparently
acknowledged something of this
sort when he told the committees:
There has to be confidence.
There has to be confidence among
those European governments.
There has to be coincidence in
the organizations they set up and,
specifically and most important,
in the commander that is doing
it,"
Home Problems Are Vital.
Gen. Eisenhower said he was
not losing sight of the home
problems involved in the defense
buildup problems which may
figure as issues in next years
campaign.
He said "key questions" involve
how much of the national product
can be put into rearming and "how
long may we have to keep this up?"
And how are we going to as
sure that we remain solvent

replied:
I'VE have enough facts to JUS

In Salt Lake City, the Associ-
ated Press reported, Mr.. Pace de-
clined to confirm or deny if he is
acquainted with Mr.. McKelvey.

key questions in this whole thing
he added.
When Gen. Eisenhower had con-
cluded his testimony, Senator Sal
tonstall. Republican, of Massachu-
setts proposed that the commit
tees wish the general "the best OF
luck whether he goes back as the
president of Columbia University
or whether he continues in Eu-
rope"
"Or on any other job" said
Senator Wiley. Republican, of
Wisconsin with possible signifl-
canoe.
The committees voted unani-
mously to thank Gen. Eisenhower
for his testimony.

other Government or contractors
employees who might have tipped
off land spectators about the
Aces plan to build a huge plant
IN South Carolina.
Acc Chairman Gordon Dean
told a news conference yesterday
U. S. Second Largest Producer Of Uronium
Acc Diseloses. Poee Az
that one Acc employe had ac-
knowledged tipping off an out
slider that he could profit by buy
ing land near the site.
He identified the employe as
w. Conrad McKelvey, who has
been employed on housing and
other community problems in the
area. Mr.. Dean said the advance
tip went to Walter v. Pace, the
Salt Lake City grocer who re-
portedly made a profit of $4,000
on two pieces of land he bought
and sold near the site.
Turned Over to FBI.
Another Acc spokesman said
the information about Mr.. Nc
Kelvey has been turned over to
the FBI. Mr.. Dean said Mr.. Nc
Kelvey was dropped from the pro-
gram, but another official ex-
planned the McKelvey resignation
was accepted because he volun-
tarily disclosed the facts about his
dealings with Mr.. Pace"
This official emphasized that
the investigation is not only con-
tinuing but is focusing on Gov
ernment and the contractors
employees rather than on buyers.
The E. I. DUPONT de Nemours &
Co., Inc. is the contractor.
1--WE hope McKelvey was the
only one" this official explained,
"but we don't know. There have
been other allegations down
there"
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina last week demanded an
investigation of reports of land
grabbing in the area just before
the Government announced selec-
ton of a 250,000-acre site along
the Savannah River for develop
ment of A-bomb and H-bomb
materials. The FBI, the Acc
and the Senate House Atomic
Energy Committee are all in on
the investigation.
Limited to Plant Site.
Mr.. Dean emphasized that
anybody who had advance in
formation, properly or improperly
acquired. of the location of the
tract of land bordering the Sa-
vannah River, will not profit out
of the public treasury if he ac-
quired any land within the tract.
This land is all subject to con-
demnation and if we cannot &C
quire any given portion of it at
q fair price, we will go through
condemnation proceedings and
have the fair price judicially de-
termined."
Acc officials pointed out the
threat of condemnation applied
only within the site. 1t would not
affect land speculation outside
the site itself.
Mr.. Dean also brought out that
before the Government announced
its intention of acquiring the
Savannah River tract, scores of
people had access to information
from which they might have de-
duced" the Governments interest.
Says Survey Was Prudent.
Mr.. Dean said the Acc made
every effort to be prudent" in
its survey and to announce its
choice as soon as possible, but
he added that up to the week
before fixing on the site, the Com
mission had not decided which of
several tracts might be best.
It was then in his prepared
statement that he got down to
possible leaks.
I'VE will discipline any Acc
employe who might be found to
have done this" Mr.. Dean said.

THRIFT.

Thrift is splendid virtue nthe old days the idea OF
thrift was deeply embedded in the hearts and minds OF the
youth as they grew from babyhood to manhood Men had
horror of not laying aside something of their daily earn
ings to help in their old age and for having them LAID
away the long sleep, not to become burden
upon anyone Men took pride those days carving their
own way through life, it was usually SAID making
their way, if it hard way and always de-
nying themselves something, it necessary in order
to Law up protection and comfort in their advanced years
They were taught that they owed this kind OF attitude and
preparation financially to themselves as well as to their
families. %kI
In those days IA man who took cognizance of his
future looked upon neer-d owel and he did not
have the respect and standing in the community did
those who saved something from their earnings they
had do it at sacrifice and with discomfort The
word eaner often the appelation given to who
made provision for the future for himself and his faSy
and the people in those days thought not eredabe
to be looked upon a leaner instead of doer.

these latter days heavy spending has been expanded

POOR BUSINESS
Williamson Enterprise)

Martin County people spent or
just about threw away right at
one million dollars during the ifs
cal year ending last June 80. The
records show that $483,00 was
spent for beer and wine, and that
$44O, 9O1.5O was left in the four
legal liquor stores in the county.
Spendings for other alcoholic bev-
erages and the bill will exceed a
cool million dollars.
The county, including the sever
al towns, received $24,140 in the
form of profits from the sale of
beer and wine or just five cents
out of every dollar spent for the
light beverages. Approximately
$50, 900 was received by the coun-
ty and several towns as their share
in the profits flowing from the sale
of hard liquors, or about fourteen
cents out of every dollar spent in
the legal stores.
1t is a bad condition when a
county turns loose million dol
lars, reserving out of it only about
$4,000. In other words, we are
spending at a ratio of about ten
to one for things definitely of
questionable value expecting the
meager ten percent to salve our
conscience and keep the decent
things in life on neven keel with
the evil things.
Martin County spent more than
a million dollars last fiscal year
for alcoholic beverages, and spent
less than that amount for educa-
ton and religion combined. Add
to the amount spent for education
and religion, the total contribu-
tions made in the name of suffer-
ing humanity and liquors take
would still be greater.
The liquor business, despite its
shady practices, is legal, but it
isn't fair to the morals and well
fare of the county
We are contributing just about
$31, 90 0annually to all charity and
organized agencies. In other words,
we give only three cents to the
TB association, the March of
Dimes, the Red Cross, Cancer Fund
and all other non-proft agencies
combined, while spending 81 cents
for alcoholic beverages. Yet we
complain and actually howl about
solicitations made in the name of
all that's good and noble, and
brazenly maintain a pious silence
in literally throwing away a mil
lion dollars.
It's still legal, but it simply isn't
fair.

WHAT'S THE NATTER?
DUNN DISPATCHED

This nation we live in is sup
posed to be the greatest, the rich
est and the best nation on earth.
We're supposed to have the most
automobiles, the best homes, the
best medical care, the best trans
portation facilities in the world
and the most recreation facilities.
Yet a look at the book stands
shows a peculiar thing.
We have books on the Release
from Nervous Tension" and
peace of mind" and that sort of
thing all the way down the list.
If records could be shown we
probably take more drugs and
more people drink more liquor ITO
forget" than any nation in the
world.
In addition to all this there are
more people in debt for one thing
or another individually than any
nation in the world probably.
Why this situation is, is a hard
one to understand.
1t may be because we work our
selves up to such a nervous state
in whatever we do and we some
times overdo those things that we
do that would be taken in our
stride if we lived in another coun-
try.
Anyway it's something to think
about.

BALANCE THE BUDGET
(Scotland Neck Commonwealth

1t those folks who sit in the
seats of the mighty at Washington
would only return to their homes
and go out among the people they
would find there is definite
feeling that the proper way to
balance the budget is to reduce
expenditures instead Of increasing
taxes.
Taxes already are destroying
the initiative of the country. There
is little incentive for creating any
large enterprise as long as taxes
take most of the profit.
Insofar as small businesses are
concerned, thep are steadily being
squeezed out, and, the breaking
point will be reached in many.

their costs to the consumer in or

LETS GET OUT OF
THE MIDDLE
international Teamster)

1t isn't often that a labor publ
cation feels inclined to comment
editorially on an industry or man.
agement publication, but one has
come to our attention recently
that seems worth noting. This
booklet is called Lets Get Out of
the Middle" and concerns the ma
tons highway situation as viewed
by General Motors.
The booklet points out that
many advances made in transpor-
tation in the last so years and calls
attention to the fact that $4,000
towns are off rail lines and must
be served by trucks .only for their
freight and merchandise. The
many other steps which have been
taken to make this country advanc-
ed in motor freight transport are
also pointed out in this publication.
What are the reasons we are in
muddle today and what are the
basic factors which need atten-
ton? Here are some as listed:
many highways are obsolete;
they are worn out and have out
lived their life usefulness and ex-
pectancy;
we neglected our highways
seriously during World War IL;
imitation has curtailed our con-
struction dollar so seriously that
we are not getting what we had
bargained for through our high
way building funds;
increased traffic is causing
great difficulty in town and coun-
try and creating serious conges-
ton situations which must be
solved.
we, built our roads for yester-
day, not today; few foresaw the
tremendous growth or needs of
motor transport;
--city's have become traffic bot
tlenecks;
we have not spent our high
way funds wisely.
/ With this analysis few would
disagree.
The need for action is impera-
tive if we are to avoid becoming
entrapped in the tremendous mo-
tor transportation system we have
built. We are strangling ourselves
in traffic difficulties. This means
that both passenger and freight
transport win lose seriously tc
other modes Of carriage.

FIGURES COMPILED
FOR HOSPITAL AID
Duke Endowment Representative
Visits PungO District to
Secure Data

Figures compiled last week at
Pungo District Hospital at Bella
ven will be used in that institu-
tons application for assistance
from the Duke Endowment. A. T.
Early, with Duke Endowment, left
Friday after being here to get the
information.
Assistance from Duke Endow-
ment is based on days for free
care of patients. This year Pungo
District Hospital received 1858 for
1850, and whatever aid is granted
on the basis of this application
will be for 1851.
Duke Endowment gives financial
assistance to all non-profit general
hospitals in North and South Car
DINA. There are 152 of them, LOG
of which are in this state.
In Nirth Carolina there are sew
en- hospitals of comparative size
to the one in Belhaven, which has
81 beds. This is said to be the only
one of the seven which does not
wind up each year financially in
the red. 1t is also the only one of
the seven which operates it's own
laundry.
Duke Endowment also serves as
clearing house for information
on hospital operation. If one hos
pital wants to know what the cost
of operating certain department
should be, all the others will be
queried and the information COM
piled for the inquiring hospital.

DUNN EDITOR CAN'T GO
ALONG WITH TRUMAN
/: (The Dunn Dispatch)


We cannot support Harry S.
Truman for another term for
President of the United States of
America.
We see no reason to beat around
the bush.
We simply and sincerely hope
that Mr.. Truman decides not to
run on the Democratic ticket in
1862.
This state supported Mr.. Tru-
man four years ago. We are not
so sure it would support him again
if he ran.
If we felt North Carolina would,
however, go down the line with
Mr.. Truman again we still would
feel the same way. We cannot sup
port him for another four years
in the nations White House.
Too many things have happen
ed in the past four years in the
Truman administration for US to
Ego down the line again just be-
cause we live in the South.
There have been too many repe-
titions of the Harry Vaughan
type.
There has been too much gov
eminent spending-we think need
lessly.
There have been too many lives
lost in Korea-we think needless
ly.
There has been too much cor
ruption in government-we think
needlessly.
There have been too many bad
appointments to public office-we
think needlessly.
There has been too much back
tracking of policy both at home
and abroad-we think needlessly.
There has been too much per-
sonal reputation lost in the office
of the Chief Executive of the ma
tion-we think needlessly.
There has been too much horse
play in time of dire trouble-we
think needlessly.
There has been too much talk of
communism in public office-we
think needlessly.
There has been too much back
stage fitting here and there-we
think needlessly.
Mr.. Humans friends would
have you believe that the Presi-
dents mistakes have been honest
mistakes.
We take no issue, perhaps, with
either of these comments except
to say-that the office of the Pres
ident of the United States of
America cannot make too many
big mistakes as have been made
in the past four years.
We also believe that if the mis-
takes have been honest mistakes
they have taken too long to recti-
fly.
We do not believe that a Presi-
dent of the United States can or
should play both ends against the
middle.
We believe that the Presidential
office is not one in which deep
freezes, mink coats and indignant
letters should be mixed up with.
1t would be silly to say that no
one will vote for Mr.. Truman in
1852 after what happened in 194s.
We simply say in no uncertain
terms we cannot support Harry S.
Truman for another term for Pres
ident of the United States of
America.
