demands of some committee
members for changes. In addi-
ton, the proposal meets some of
the most serious objections raised
by Republicans to the Senate
bill.
Even so, other committee mem
bers doubted that the 35-man
group could agree in one day to
all provisions OF the complex,
long range bill. One of the most
serious hurdles, it was reported,
will be a Republican amendment
to require that Congress rule on
the controversial troops to
Europe" question.
Goal Is Same as Senate's.
Actually, the two-purpose goal
of the House bill is the same as
of that passed by the Senate: %
To make more draftees available
Immediately for military expan-
sion. (2) To maintain security
through a compulsory UNIT pro-
gram as soon as the large stand
ing force can be reduced. But in
almost every detail, they differ.
The House bill would lower the
induction age to 1872 and increase
the length of draft service from
81 to 26 months. The Senate bill
cuts the induction age flatly to 18
with "a months service-and re-
quire draft boards to call men Is
to 26 before inducing any at 18.
Most fundamental difference i.
the Vinsons proposal to extend the
military service" draft onI.
three years. In July, 1854, under
1.-THE bill, Congress would have tt
extend the draft further if. thu
emergency still existed-just as il
now is extending the draft act
due to expire next July.
Time Limit Held Essential.
But Congress should make tn,
decision" Mr.. Vinson said. "W'
should have time limit in an,
temporary legislation"
Senator Taft, Republican, O
Ohio, led a fight in the Senat,
to impose such a time limit bu
was beaten down by administra
tion leaders on grounds that i
would destroy the provision TO
a UNIT program. The Senate bill
is set up as permanent legila
ton, to swing into UNIT as sool
as Congress or the President de
cides the Nation can afford t,
stop inducing men for activ,
service.
AS his bill is written, Mr.. Vim
son insisted the limit would no
affect plans for permanent UNIT
setup.
The House bill would form .
commission of five civilians t,
draw up plans for the UNIT pro
gram for all youths at the age O
1872. The commission would b,

By ReImon NORM
Associated Press Stoff Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 10.-In the
Middle West, people say that Gen.
Eisenhower can have the job
and you know which one-running
on either ticket.
That's the story, repeated with
little variation. on the farms, in
Offices and factories, and wher-
ever people sit around. talking
about the state of the Nation, and
the world in general. Apparently,
you cah sum up the big fact
in political thinking on the Great
Plains with one line from that
current song:
They Like Ike"
Neither the professional poll
ticlan nor the man on the street
would go so far as to say Gen.
Eisenhower can win the nomina-
ton. That riddle about his politi-
cal affiliation, if any. which was
SO much discussed In 1948 is be-
ing talked about again today on
all sides.
But whether the general is a
Republican or Democrat seems
to be of no great Importance. The
vast shadow of his personal popu-
larity, in that section of the coun-
try, apparently has obscured party
lines to very large degree.
The reasons for Gen. Eisen-
hower's prestige, and the i'm
preston he has made in the
consciousness of the Middle West,
are not entirely crystallized. Per-
haps because he comes from
Kansas. Perhaps it is nothing
more than his smile. Possibly, the
Iowa farmer described one of the
main rivers of feeling. when he
said. "the way I look at it, he's
the only one who knows the situa-
tion-about the Russians and all
that"
Popularity Is Certain.
A St. Louis manufacturer had
this thought: Here we are, spend
ing ourselves crazy, arming our
selves and Europe and throwing
money around. Gen. Eisenhower
ought to know just how far that
has to 60" And he added, 'of
course, nobody knows how he feels
about business"
4 Whatever the reasons, the popu-
larity exists.
Now, in view of the generals
present job, as the military leader
of the North Atlantic Pact Nations,
and his report to Congress when
he came back from last months
tour. what about that well-believed
story of "isolationism" in the
Middle West? How do the two
things square up?
First Of all. you have to define
'isolationism."
A fair definition might be: a
man who believes American
troops should fight only in case
of a direct attack on American
territory. that American resources
should be used first to further
American interests, and that as
sistance to any other nation
should be measured solely by the
contribution that nation can
make to American interests.
More than a century ago, a
British statesman put it simply
Nations have no permanent
friends. They have only perma-
nent interests"
In any case, the alleged isola-
tionism of the Middle West is
not easy to find and pin down.
You run into completely contra
dictory sets of facts.
Many Readers in Opposition.
Periodically, the Associated
Press asks newspapers in all
parts of the country to report
on the type of letters they are
receiving. The object is to de-
termine broad bands of popular
opinion on such subjects as what
the United States should do about
the Korean War, about sending
troops to Europe. etc.

Eisenhower Can Have the Job
|On Either Ticket, Midwest Says
The most recent survey showed

The most recent survey showed

Milwaukee. Port Huron, Sioux
Falls. Des Moines and Kansas
City reporting - almost unani-
mously-a bulk of readers let

sending troops to Europe, and to
continuing the Korean War.
Dissenting opinions came from
Detroit and Minneapolis where
newspapers reported the senti-
ment was "even" on the troops
to-Europe issue.
That does not entirely check

areas. In fact. it does not mesh.
at all.
In Iowa. for example, people
claim that the increase in indus
try brought about a decrease in
isolationist sentiment. During and
since World War II. a very large
degree of industrialization took
place in what used to be an almost
completely agricultural state.
The very fact of manufacturing,
not only weapons but ordinary ar
tlcles for export abroad, Iowans
say, has turned their eyes more
frequently overseas, and increased
their understanding of foreign
problems.
Foreign News Is Stressed.
They remind you that group
of 26 Iowa farmers paid their own
way to Europe, two years ago, to
study the Marshall plan at close
range, and get the point of view
of the European farmer. And
they ask: "Is there any other sec
ton of the country where people
took that much interest?"
They also cite the case of
Vandalia, Mo-, where the citizens
Clipped in to send Lincoln Kelly,
the poStman, to England a few
months ago, to study the same
questions.
Again, contrary to other find
ings, Norman Isaacs, managing
editor of the st. Louis Star Times,
told me that he has never re-
ceived so many letters disagree
ing with Taft on the question of
sending troops to Europe"
Newspapers in cities and small
towns throughout the Middle West
print as much, and possibly more,
foreign news. proportionately, than
the big city journals.
And this is from a column by
Harlan Miller, a widely-read col
umnist on the Des Moines Register
and Tribune:
IsOlationism is Over.
Recently, I've begun to think
quite a lot about Juniors next
birthday. He's 18' in May, and the
Army will be reaching for him.
If he's away 27 or 80 months, I'll
miss him like blazes, but decline
to let myself get worked into a
tantrum about it.

ness on the part of individuals to

At a meeting of the Ottawa
