The reported offer Of support
by President Truman to Gen.
Eisenhower is of secondary i'm
portance to the possible tor
pedoing Of the legend of Eisen-
hover. the middle-road inter-
nationalist.
Democrats who say Mr.. Tru-
man did not make the offer
point to the Presidents August
9 press conference statement
that he thought the general
was a Republican and he
couldn't help anybody get the
Republican nomination. 1t is
asked: Would Harry Truman
offer a Democratic nomination
to a man he calls a Repub-
lican?" 1t would certainly be
out Of character-if the Presi-
dent were in earnest August 9.
But Mr.. Truman, knowing
better than most how much he
has in common with the gen.
eral, might not believe his own
quip, might well want to kidnap
the hero from under Repub-
lican noses.
Even the President cannot put
over on his party. should he
wish to. an Eisenhower with
the sentiments ascribed by Mr..
Krock's informant to the gen.
eral. Either Ike is passably
liberal or he's a five-star gen.
eral to the Democrats. Labor is
basic to their success.
Mr.. Truman in any case is not
hurt by the story. In fact, he
sounds like a generous man,
making good on an old promise
to a national hero. 1t is Gen.
Eisenhower who has had the
rug pulled out from under him
always assuming. of course,
that he does not wish the coun-
try to regard him as very con-
servative.
Mr.. Krock's informant may
have been honestly mistaken,
eager perhaps to appear more
knowing than he was. It is a
common practice - LaGuardia
used to call it "big- Shooting"
The informant may have
favored his story with wishful
thinking.
If he is the generals inti-
mate and not Mr.. Truman's,
Ike can only pray as many an
other man before him to be
delivered from his friends.
II he is from Mr.. Truman's
circle, there is always the inter-
esting possibility that he wanted
to make lit easier for Senator
Taft to win the Republican
nomination on the theory that
MIR. Truman can beat Mr.. Taft
but not Gen. Eisenhower. Few in
the Truman circle appear this
subtle.

Constantine Brown:
Vishinsky's Reply Was Expected
But Paris and Washington Observers Were Astounded
That KrenIin Learned So Little From Hitler Lesson

Nobody in Washington or
in Paris was surprised at the
rejection of the American plan
for disarmament by the
U. S. s. r. Comrade Vishinsky
was his usual self when he
dismissed the Western olive
branch with his biting and fiery
oratory.
But what is astounding to OBJ
servers is that the Kremlin has
learned so little from the bitter
lessons taught by the West to
the former comrades In arms
of the Red leaders. Hitler and
his cohorts. who in 1889 were
riding high and handsome with
the strongest military machine
the world had ever known be-
hind them.
There seems to be little differ
ence between Hitler's rantings
at Nuremberg before the last war
and the present utterances of
the Soviet rulers in Red Square
at the Kremlin. Both accuse
the West Of trying to surround,
stif1e and destroy them. while
at the same time they are rap
idly expanding their bound
aries far outside their national
limits.
Stain, like Hitler, is con-
fronted with a Western coali-
ton which. hungry for peace, IS
willing to make wide concessions
provided the specter of war can
be removed from the world.
And just because the Kremlin
realizes this situation so well,
1t raises unsurmountable OBJ
stacles to its achievement.
The Kremlin Is in a better
position today to press its ad-
vantage than the Nazis were.
The cost of rearmament in
countries which are clinging
desperately to freedom and a
free economy has become almost
unbearable. Vishinsky reflect
ed this condition In lis speech,
while the Moscow consptrators
are gloating over the increasing
difficulties which are piling up

Doris FIeeson:

II Gen. Eisenhower took the
political positions attributed to
him by Arthur Krock's story in
the New York Times, he is
precluded from becoming the
Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent next year and the drive for
his nomination being made by
liberal Republicans has lost its
momentum.
That is the heart of the mat
ter and the reason why little else
is being discussed in political
circles.
The conservatives of this
country have their candidate,
Senator Taft. They will not be
detected from him by anything
less than the specter of defeat.
The only thing that conjures up
that specter is a widespread be-
lief that, by and large, the United
States is not conservative.
II Gen. Eisenhower Identifies
himself with positions taken by
Mr.. Taft, the question will nat
urally be asked by Republicans:
Why change?
The Times story is denied by
the President, by Eisenhower
headquarters in Paris and by
George Allen. a close friend to
both men. Mr.. Allen dined here
with Gen. Eisenhower Monday
night.
The overall effect of the story
is that it boobytraps the general.
This is accomplished not by the
central point of the account,
which is the offer of Truman
support, but in two ways.
One way consists of the re-
actions ascribed to Gen. Eisen-
hover by the informant stand
ing sponsor to the offer. The
general is said to have strongly
implied rejection" by suggesting
that great difficulties were pre-
sented by his fundamental dis
agreement with the administra-
tion on labor policies, proposed
amendments to the Taft-Hartley
Act" and other parts of the
Fair Deal.
The other way is the sugges-
ton, pinned by Mr.. Krock on
"intimates of the general" that
Eisenhower intends to try in
advance of the Republican con-
vention to discover whether he
and Senator Robert A. Taft Of
Ohio can agree on certain poll
cies for platform Endorsement" f"
If they can agree. Mr.. Krock
reported, the general will support
Mr.. Taft as the nominee.
None of this adds up to the
picture presented by Gen. Eisen-
hower's hackers of a convinced
exponent of collective security
who is reasonably liberal in
domestic matters. In some re-
spects the positions attributed
to Eisenhower are more reac-
tionary than the campaign
speeches Mr.. Taft has been
making in the South.
They would certainly preclude
him from becoming the Demo
cratic candidate. They make il
appear that the Republican
liberals who believe he can make
inroads on the independent
labor and liberal support which
has hitherto gone to Democrats
and so win for the G. O. P, are

in their fifth columns, cannot
understand the extent Of sacri-
flee the American people are
willing to make if a real show
down becomes inevitable. This
has been obvious for some time
to all those who have eyes to see.
The American hand was ex-
tended to the U. S. s. r. soon
after the end Of the war when
we offered the Kremlin vast
sums for reconstruction. This
was refused without even q
whispered thank-you.
Moscow knows about the pres
ent discomfort and tribulations
in the United States, but makes
the fatal mistake of taking our
troubles too literally.
There is no question that all
Americans want peace so that
they can go ahead with their
normal pursuits. But the Krem-
lin does not realize that the
American people know by now
that the present situation Is Of
the U. S. S. RS own making.
The Russians do not realize the
degree the anger Of the Ameri-
can people can reach when they
are made to suffer unjustly
The Kremlin's rejection of our
peace proposals was a foregone
conclusion known to everybody
from President Truman down.
There have been sufficient indi-
cations and proofs to show that
Moscow believes it can obtain
its purposes by causing the West
to spend itself into bankruptcy.
But there is no indication that
Moscow understands the stam-
ina of the American people
when confronted by rank ag-
gression and injustice. The Rus
sian dictators apparently do not
believe in the lessons Of history.
They ignore the fact that Q
little island, Britain. defeated
the greatest military machine.
Napoleon's armies. They also
forget the very recent lesson
given Hitler by the combined
efforts of the English-speaking
world.

out any substitute that really
safeguards employers as well as
employees? Then Gen. Eisen-
hower's influence, let alone his
acceptance of a nomination for
the presidency, cannot be on the
Democratic side.
This fits in with the remark
ably good piece of reporting
done by Arthur Krock, Wash
ington correspondent of the
New York Times, in discover
ing a reliable source able to say
that the President and Gen.
Eisenhower did discuss briefly
the possibility Of the Eisen-
hover influence being thrown
toward the Democratic Party
and perhaps toward the Demo-
cratic nomination with Presi-
dent Truman's support, and
the implied rejection by the
general unless certain platform
changes could be made. Mr..
Krock is unmoved by the official
or technical denials. and right
ly so because he has told this
correspondent fatty that his
source was in a position to
learn afterward what did trans.
pire at the conferences between
the general and President Tru-
man
Unquestionably the possibility
Of Gen. Eisenhower running on
the Democratic ticket has been
in President Trumans mind
along with the possibility that
the general. as a vote-getter,
would be able to knock off SEN
ator Taft. Assuming that Mr..
Truman will stick to his present
determination not to run in
1852. it is natural that he should

Greater Obligation as Citizen
Eisenhower Influence More important Than Candidacy
Could Affect Outcome of 50 Presidential Election
David LoWrence:

The Eisenhower influence is
looming up as perhaps even
more important than an Eisen-
hover candidacy. 1t is al
ready affecting strategy in both
political parties and it could
conceivably affect the outcome
Of the 1852 presidential election
even If the general is not him
self a candidate.
For it is plainly apparent
now that the Allied commander
In Europe has his heart set
on influencing American policy
in both a military and diplo-
matte sense to the end that his
hard-won battles of World War
II shall not prove to have been
futile. He doesn't want America
to scuttle Europe by withhold
ing what he thinks is adequate
military power.
More than anything else Gen.
Eisenhower is concerned about
the direction of American pol
icy toward Europe's defense.
Does Senator Taft mean to carry
on Fundamentally the present
defense program if he is elected?
II he does, then he may win
Eisenhower's support should the
Republican convention nominate
the Ohio Senator.
Does President Truman mean
on domestic policies to carry on
the present drift toward bank
ruptcy by policies of spending
on non-defense items that have
never been cut as they should
have been? Is it the intention
of the Democratic Party plat
form to go all-out for a rereel

wright whose intellectual level

crackle where it seems bound to

AXIS SUBS SCOURGED
NORTH CAROLINA COAST
By AYCOCK BROWN

by "A COSh DnOWN
| Within a month after Pearl
Harbor on December Z, 1871, our
enemies, the Axis Powers began
a campaign in American coastal
waters that was not only going
to cost the lives of hundreds of
merchant seamen, but also result
in the total destruction of ships
and cargoes to the extent of null
til-millions of dollars.
First victim of enemy subma-
rines as the Battle of the Atlantic
moved close to our shores was the
sinking of the Panamanian tanker
Norvess off Montauk Point on
New Years Day.
Sunk Of Hatteras
And then, eight years ago on
January II, the American tanker
Alan Jackson was torpedoed off
Cape Hatteras, almost within
sight of the North Carolina coast.
Five more ships were torpedoed
two days later within the Eastern
Sea Frontiers Fifth Naval Dis
trict.
Before the summer of 1912 AK
is torpedoes had ripped into al
most 100 cargo carriers in the
coastwise shipping lines, and most
of the ships were sent to the bot
tom, often with a terrific loss of
life, off the shores of North Caro-
lima, Virginia and Maryland.
1t was a matter of only few
days after rsarl Harbor until all
lightships stationed in the steam
er lanes were moved from their
stations. Here on the Dare Coast
during the first World War the
ightship off Diamond Shoals had
been sunk by a German subma-
rine.
The U-Boats which the enemy
sent to American waters in 1912
not only employed torpedoes for
sinking ships, but some of them
sowed mines near the harbor en-
frances while others deliberately
surfaced to send ships to the bot
tom by gunfire. One such ship that
was sunk by gunfire was the ill
equipped YP-389 that was sunk
off Cape Hatteras.
Many defenseless merchant
ships were first ripped open by
torpedoes of submarines and then
fired upon by heavy guns aboard
the undersea craft after surfac-

So many ships were sunk of
Cape Hatteras that the ocean in
that area came to be known as
Torpedo Junction." derived from
a popular song-hit of the day
Tuxedo Junction"
Survivors by the dozens, and
then by the hundreds were res
cued by our Nays coast guard
craft and were moved through
the various section bases at Lit
tie Creek, Ocracoke, Morehead
City and Southport to be inter-
viewed and then sent on their way
usually to join another mer-
chant vessels crew. Victims of the
enemy submarine onslaught were
not only ships of our flag, but
vessels of many allies of the Unit
ed States or neutral countries.
During those days there was
strict censorship of enemy activ-
tiles near the blacked-out and con-
stantly patrolled coast of North
Carolina. Otherwise there would
have been some mighty interest
ing stories to report. For instance,
on a cold March night the COM
bination passenger-freight ship
City of New York was sunk with
a loss of SO lives. Among the sur
vivors was an expectant mother
who gave birth to her baby in a
lifeboat. The baby was named
Jesse Roper for the destroyer
which rescued the survivors.
