Eisenhower Returns
From European Tour,
Due Here Wednesday
BY the Associated Press

WEST POINT, N. Y, Jan. 81
Gen. Eisenhower returned today
from flying. first-hand survey of
the European military potential
which he has been named to or
ganize, train and command.
In what condition he found
Western Europe defenses will be
the substance of reports he will
make to the Government and the
Nation next week.
A light snow was falling as the
generals plane landed at nearby
Stewart Air Force base. He smiled,
waved his hat, and seemed in high
spirits as he was greeted by mem
bers of his family and by high
Army officers.
Gen. Eisenhower posed for
photographers, but refused to talk
to neWsmen. He went immediate
ly to the Thayer Hotel at the
Military Academy where he will
stay until he leaves for Washing
ton Wednesday.
Visited IL Countries.
In his wirlwind. 21-day inspec-
ton tour. Gen. Eisenhower visited
IL countries to confer with de-
fense chiefs, and to gauge the
morale and material resources of
the Atlantic Pact nations.
AS the supreme commander of
Western Europe defense forces,
his findings may help answer some
of the basic questions at the heart
of the current controversy over
United States foreign policy, such
as:
How determined. are European
nations to resist Communist ag-
greSsion?
Can, and will they be able to
defend Western Europe If given
American help?
How much American help is
needed?
Believes Team is Good.
Throughout his trip, Gen. Els
enhoWer has expressed confidence
in the ability and willingness of
the Western nations to resist ag-
gression or any violation of peace
But he also has spoken of need
for Strengthening morale and
spirit"
He has indicated that he thought
the team he heads is a good one
but that considerable work re-
mains to put it in shape to form
a solid rampant against attack.
Gen. Eisenhower will make sew
eral reports-to the President. the
Cabinet. Congress and finally a
radio address to the Nation Fri
day night.
Welcomed by Family.
The last hop of his trip was
from Ottawa. where he conferred
with the Canadian cabinet yes
terday. Developments there limited
that Canadian troops may soon
be committed to Gen. Eisen-
hower's command.

family here to. welcome him were

PIeven to Seek Booking
In Indo-Chino Fiqht

Premier Pleven. leading off a
dramatic week of Allied strategy
talks here tomorrow. will seek
from President Truman a state
ment of Americas plans for back
ing Frances fight against Com
munism in Indo- China.
Specifically, officials say Mr..
Pleven wants to know how much
assistance France can count on
If Chinese Communists launch a
large-scale assault in the South
east Asian land.
Mr.. Truman is expected to give
MI. Pleven informal assurances of
substantial help in the form of
military supplies and diplomatic
support. but no promise of any
United States troops. In fact,
Washington authorities said Mr..
Pleven. knowing Americas troop
commitments in Korea and West
ern Europe. very likely would not
raise the question of troops at all.
Mr.. Pleven's program in Wash
tngton calls for two days of in
tensive talks with Mr.. Truman,
Secretary of State Acheson and
other offcials-talks paralleling
those held here last month by
Britain's Prime Minister Attlee.
The Franco American sessions
will give way on Wednesday to a
new series of top level confer
ences with Gen. Eisenhower on
European defense. All indications
are that he will tell the President
and Congress that Europe can
be defended provided each nation
in the North Atlantic Treaty sys-
tenn does its full share. His views
are expected to carry great weight
with Congress.
Gen. Eisenhower already has
wound up his tour of North At
1antic Treaty nations, finishing off
in Ottawa, Canada, yesterday
Normally he would have returned
directly to Washington. However
in order to avoid any conflict of
his program with that of Mr.
Pleven, administration officials
arranged for him to stop over at
West Point, N. Y. for four days

lit is q most delightful place in
which to live. The climate is
perfect. in my estimation. AL
though it is on the Gulf of Mexico
the humidity is not as high as
here in the Washington area
There is a rainy season. during
the summer, but the sandy soil
soaks up the water so fast one
does not mind the daily showers.
1T gets quite warm during July
and August, but there is always
Ia cool breeze from the Gulf. And
you have only to drive across the
|causeway to reach one of the most
beautiful beaches to be found any,
where on the Gulf Coast.
The climate during the winter
cannot be equaled in any of the
States where I have lived. The
sun shines almost every day and
the temperature rarely ever gets
anywhere near the freezing mark.
I have seen people swimming in
the Gulf during the Christmas
season. One Christmas Day it
was so warm we had all the doors
and windows of our house open.
There are three large Protestant
Churches and one Catholic Church
in the town. There are probably
other smaller ones that I did not
happen to know about. The
schools are very good. At that
time there were two elementary
schools, one junior high and one
senior high school. Of course
there may be more now. My chill
dren attended one of the ele-
mentary schools and I became

la few of the teachers. I did some

reads such stories as Alice in Won

the DR.. Doolittle books, Robinson
Crusoe, ''The Swiss Family Rob-
inson" and he doesn't balk at 60
ing to bed after a chapter or, two
has been read.
Not only is our little boy amused,
but even his parents and his
grandfather enjoy hearing the
familiar tales again. We find that
the children'S classics appeal to
all ages. The libraries must have
many recommended lists of stories
for group reading. :

R-DINNER HOUR:
ZANE GREY

fFrom Mrs. H. P. H., Washfngton.D
For Mrs. M. S. T.. Arlington:
Regarding the after-dinner hour
for parents and children 4, 6 and
8 years old.
Since you said including par
'ents and children" you make the
problem very simple. Our time
lis never long enough for all the
things We want to do.
Sometimes we listen to records
or sing. Frequently one parent
plays parcheesi with age 8 while
other parent reads to age .5a.
Age 8 also likes dominoes. Both
can play old maid, animal rummy
and other simple games. Reading
aloud has been a favorite since
the children were a year old, and
the younger one has enjoyed more
advanced stories as well as stories
on her own level. In warm wealth.
er we sometimes go walking after
dinner, play catch, or enjoy the
swings. ladders and sandbox in the
yard.
For Mrs. M. R., Washington, re-
garding Zane Grey: I note you
live in Washington, so you can get
Zane Grey books from the D. C.
Public Library (and branches).
May I suggest that you consult
"a librarian as to the best titles.
/ agree with you that five or six
titles would be enough, and then
use the rest of the money for
other good books. I have a boy 8
who polished off Swiss Family
Robinson" (441 p.) in a single day
recently, so naturally could not
begin to buy his requirements,
and the library is our solution.
The staff is always friendly and
helpful. My husband agrees with
me. but being a man he says, eIt's
a matter of taste, and what a
person likes"
