SIS Million in Surplus
Recovered by Army
From German Firm
By the Associated Press

HEIDELBERG, Germany, Mar.
27.-The United States Army dis
closed yesterday it had taken back
S75 million to $100 million worth
of critical military equipment it
had sold to an official German
agency after the war The value
was estimated at current replace
ment costs.
The Army's settlement for the
reclamation is still to be negott
ated.
The announcement came as
United States authorities were in
vestigating reports that specula-
tors made hundreds Of millions OF
dollars profit from the sale OF
Army surplus stocks.
Recovery Made in Fall.
The Army said it's big recovery
occurred last September and Oc-
tober. The Army had reclaimed
equipment sold to the official Ger
man agency. STEG. for 81 per
cent Of its original value.
The reclaimed equipment-mil-
itary vehicles. spare parts, sig
nal equipment, engineer supplies,
heavy construction equipment.
hand tools, X-ray machines and
clothing-had cost STEG only
about SIS million.
The announcement said the
United States High Commission
soon would negotiate a settlement
with the West German govern
ment.
The remainder of STEG's hold
ings-on1y about 10 per cent of
its original purchase-was frozen
last week pending the American
investigation.
Congressional Charges Studied.
The authorities were probing
charges by a congressional COM
mittee In Washington early this
month that Briton named
George Dawson had made 500
million profit from the sale
of surplus Army trucks. Other
charges were that many of the
trucks were sold to Communist
ruled Hungary. Mr.. Dawson de-
MED he had made such huge
profits and said he had no con-
nection with a German company
which was selling the trucks to
Hungary.
Movement of the reclaimed
equipment to rebuilding shops
will be completed by April 80, the
announcement said.

Despite Slow Pace;
|Aircrafts Favored
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 27.-With
trading on the quiet side. the stock
market today moved a little higher.
There was marked activity in a
few issues in. the chemicals, rails,
motors and aircrafts, but as gen.
eral rule, the markets pace was
slow.
Interest in the aircraft division
was bolstered by fine earnings and
sales reports turned in by Boeing
and Republic. Boeing said it had
a billion dollar backlog the first
of this year.
Railroads now are reporting net
operating income for February,
and the results brought forth no
great amount of enthusiasm.
Higher prices were posted all
around in the copper mining Sec
ton, but there was little business
transacted. Revere Copper &
Brass stood above the rest after
a 1850 earnings report showing
per share profits equal to $8.47 as
against 1886 the year before.
The market started out on a
steady keel, leaning to the upside
The opening rush of overnight Or
ders soon spent itself, and the
pace slowed. Prices, however, kept
edging higher.
Stocks moving up included

Presidents Speech Fine, But
Some Things Are Better Left Unsoid, if One Has
Responsibility for Preventing Next War

If war with Soviet Russia is
inevitable. then it is inevitable
and there is nothing we can do
about it. However, nearly every
body says it is not inevitable
Nearly everybody prefers to
think it is not inevitable, for
nobody wants that war. Every
cody seems agreed that it would
ne worse war than any the
World ever has known. Many
believe it would mean the end
of civilization, a reversal of
humanity's progress toward the
light, a descent upon the earth
of a new end more terrible Dark
Age. The weapons of war have
become such that war between
the two great powers could not
be limited 1t would encompass
the globe. Nowhere in all the
seas would there be an island
OF safe refuge. so Wondrously
end so deVastatingly has science
wrought About all this we seem
to be agreed.
So let's not talk ourselves
into that war.
The President of the United
States made a remarkable
speech yesterday. In many re-
spects it was a remarkably fine
speech. The occasion was the
ceremony at the Library of Con-
gress in which the Declaration
of independence and the United
States Constitution, the physical

EisenhoWer's Cross and Crown
Presidential Candidacy Question Is Prime Topic at SHAPE
But No One Will Admit Knowing the True Answer

PARIS. Sept. 18.-The great
est story at the Supreme Head
quarters of the Allied Powers
in Europe-succinctly called
SHAPE by every taxi driver in
Francois never told.
It is the story of whether the
boss man, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, intends to be a candi-
date for President OF the United
States. SHAPE is the only mil
itary headquarters in the world
where topic "a" is not women,
but political speculation to
which no one-repeat, no one
will admit to knowing the
answer.
Public interest in that answer
is obvious. Public-opinion chan
nels of all kinds. including polls
on presidential candidates where
the general easily leads all the
rest, reflect it. Every scrap of
evidence about his political in
tentions is seized upon and
usually magnifled beyond all
reason.
The Eisenhower coattail
steadily enlarges to hold not only
those who aff1rmatively believe
he would make a great Presi-
dent, but all who, for any rea-
son, are against other candi-
dates. Politicos are jostling one
another to get into the actin
deco, the general has more man
ayers at this point than a cham

Attempts to Soften Criticism
Truman, in His Postal Speech Came Dangerously Near
Offering Bnbe to Publishers of Large Magazines

mail-and he thought it all
right for newspapers, whether
large or small, to pay lower
rates for postage than maga-
zines. But his speech plainly
shows that he favors discrimi-
nation between two kinds of pub
lications-those he likes and
those he doesn't like. He says
frankly he doesn't like the edi-
torials criticizing his policies,
especially from publishers max
ing large profits. This is a
rather naive confession that 1t
isn't the economics of distri-
button which worries Mr.. Tru-
man so much as the size of
the profits made by the pub
fishers. Presumably the pub
fishers of smaller magazines
making less money would get
a lower postage rate.
Under new laws the tax COL
lector is about to take 10 cents
out of every profit dollar from
the businesses of the country,
but Mr.. Truman thinks he can
punish with an extra tax the
larger magazines that have been
criticizing him. To carry out
Mr.. Truman's philosophy the
special tax in the form of higher
postage rates would preSum-
ably apply only to the larger
publisherS-the group against
whom Mr.. Truman has a grudge.
1t will make interesting reading
in Moscow.
There's just one thing left for
the magazine publishers to do.
1t is to offer Mr.. Truman
sporting proposition: If he will
give up his tax-free expense
account subsidy-it amounts
to $4,000 apart from salary
or at least agree to give an &C
counting of what he does with
the money each year, and if he
will also agree to stop cam
