Like most respectable Kansans,
Gen. Eisenhower is a Republi-
can just as his many brothers
are. He is. therefore, one of ours.
His dedication to collective Sc
curity is so obvious and complete
that he will, of course. make any
sacrifice to keep Senator Taft
out of the White House.
Democrats who do not want
President Truman but above all,
the Truman circle, longer in
power, make up the third group.
They will be for Gen. Eisen-
hover in any situation including
the Presidents handing over of
the crown to the Chief Justice
of the United States, Fred Vim
son. -.....
BY and large. the second and
third groups believe that Presi-
dent Truman would win against
Senator Taft. In fact, most of
Gen. Eisenhower's visitors lately
dwell upon the hazard to Amer
lea if the Democrats, as now led,
are elected for the sixth success
sive time to run the country.
There are signs at home of
deep desire for change. not
necessarily of parties or policies
but of people. These are re-
flected sharply in the tide Of
American visitors to SHAPE.
AS Of now, Gen. Eisenhower
feels that he is not in a posi-
ton to talk domestic politics
Of any kind, much less his own
role in it. AS an avowed can
didate his domestic position
would be obviously impossible.

So official Washington is not
making any predictions as to
how long the next set Of cease

is going to happen in the in

Truman and Congress. 1t would
be even more difficult, If that
were possible, with respect to

Gen. Eisenhower was COM

allied soldiers fighting against
Naziism and Fascism.- He is
leading them again in the strug-

had to sweat it out once until
he gave the word. They must
now endure conscription, train

word comes that the battle Is
joined.
With respect to the United
States presidency, their general
is in their shoes. If the his
tory of our times proves to him
that the ideals for which he
spent so many lives are endan-
gered, he must and will move.
Until then, he intends, as OF
now. to sweat it out.
But he wrote to Mr.. Finder:
%Our people will have greater
confidence when lifelong

Dovid Lowrence:

Resumption Of the cease
fire" talks has been a foregone
conclusion for some time. There
have been doubts as to when
the parleys would be renewed,
but a deep-seated belief has
prevailed among high officials
that whatever the reasons were
which prompted Jacob Malik to
propose "cease-fire" on June
%, they are still valid.
There have been various as
sumptions that the interruption
of the talks was somehow re-
lated to an effort to obtain some
trading advantages in connec-
tion with the signing Of the
japanese peace treaty at the
San Francisco Conference, but,
inasmuch as the Russians knew
in advance that there would be
no opportunity given to revise
the document, such a reason was
not considered plausible by
well-informed persons here.
Just why. then, did the Com
munists interrupt the talks?
The most acceptable theory
heard here is that the talks
themselves are part of a global
propaganda campaign and it
was considered essential by Pei
ping and Moscow to show that
the Allies were not really in
earnest about peace, but that
the Communists were the real
champions of peace.

Ketchikan City Power Plant Is Disabled Sunday

KETCHIKAN, (R Ketchikan public utilities officials estimated today that it would cost close to S1OO,OOO to replace the power unit that flew apart Sunday.
 The accident left the city with out electric power in the middle of the annual salmon derby cele- bration.
 A factory representative arrived by plane Sunday to begin re- winding a second unit that was shorted out by flood waters after the break.
 The trouble started in No. 3 turbine at the city power plant. KPU manager John Weir said the machines governor failed to con- trol it properly and it ran wild. A shaft broke.
 SpokeS of the eight-foot fly wheel flew through the roof into the street. Water from the pen stock quickly shorted out the No. 4 unit nearby. It cut off nearly 5000 kilowatt hours of power and flooded the powerhouse.
 Operators George Corbin and Claude Collins escaped injury from the flying pieces. Collins raced up a tunnel to the penStock to shut off the water, which was running down the street and flooding the baseball field.
 Weir said the Beaver Falls power units south of town, usually idle on Saturday, would be turned into the system when the switchboard dried out, but that the town will be short of power until diesel units can be obtained and the turbine replaced at the factory.

WASHINGTON, R) = Tn e House is expected to send to the White House, possibly this week, a bill to impose ban on imports of mink, muskrat and various other furs from Russia and Com mmist China.

 Russia in past years has sold millions of dollars worth of furs here despite protests from trap pers and fur farmers in this coum- try.
 'This will save many of our fur farmers financially" McCar- thy told reporter. "While 1t comes too late to save many others, it will be of material aid to the fur raisers here"
 The ban against such imports from Russia and Communist China is contained in an amend ment to the reciprocal trade agree ments extension act. The McCar- thy proposal was agreed to by Senate and House conferees and accepted by the Senate. Final ac- ton by the House is considered a formality.

Did Not Know We Had Atomic Bomb In l945 At Yalta

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary of State Acheson said today the United States "did not know whe- ther we had an atomic bomb or not" when it signed the 1945 Yalta agreement to bring Russia into the war against Japan.
 Acheson made the statement in a general discussion of American policy in the Orient for the last five years. He was testifying for the third day at Senate hearings on the dismissal of Gen. Mac Arthur as Far Eastern commander.
 Republicans have attacked the Yalta agreements, contending they let Russia into Manchuria and gave her territory from which she now can threaten Japan.
 These critics said that there was no reason to obtain a Russian agreement to enter the Far East ern war, which was ended when two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. The Russians came into the war only a week before Japan's surrender.
 Acheson said it was not known at the time of Yalta whether the atomic bomb could be produced successfully.
 "That was not proved until several months later - that we had one-and it was not used until considerably after" he de- clared.
 "It was the then military opin- ion-concurred in by everyone that the reduction of Japan would have to be brought about by a large scale landing on the islands of Japan, and the forecast of that fighting, which came from the fighting on the other islands in the Pacific, indicated that 1t would be a very bloody and ter rible battle."

Korean Situation
(By the Associated PresS)

Allied troops, fighting through driving rain toward the main Com munist ''iron triangle" in North Korean, beat off savage Red counterattacks today.
 Artillery thundered over the sound of hand grenades as United Nations forces threw back the thrusts. Reds attacked all threat ening U. N. spearheads. They fought stubbornly against the crunching Allied advance.
 The "Iron Triangle" is tipped by Shorwon, Kumhwa and Pyong- yang. Spears of infantrymen and armor of the 9th Army-up to full combat strength for the first time in the Korean war-tried to crack it.
 It. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, U. N. ground commander, made clear that his forces have no in tention of stopping, although the pursuit phase" of the counter offensive ended when the Reds escaped beyond encirclement. He said the Allies will continue to destroy Red targets before they can be used for a renewed enemy offensive.

Old Script As Claim For Public Londs
 Again In LimeIigh+

Washington R - Secretary of the Interior Chapman said yesterday he plans to act soon on applications to use old land script certificates to acquire government owned submerged oil lands.
 Chapman told National Press Club audience, in response to a question, that the Interior Department solicitor has pre- pared a formal opinion on the applicability of the script.
 The almost forgotten govern ment issued script has been in the linelight since E. L. Cord, Beverly Hills, Calf, millionaire and former automobile manu- facturer submitted script certifi- cates last February 5 as claims for 1892 acres Of submerged land in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast.
 The federal government issued various kinds of script, from the pioneer days to as recently as l9U6, as compensation to Indians and earlier settlers for lands taken from them, and as sort of bonus for veterans of wars up through the Civil War. Most Of the scz:pt has been redeemed long ago. The Interior Department acknowledges that it does not know how much is still outstanding and how much is still valid as claims against public lands. Last month some government land in Alaska was transferred to holders of script which was originally granted to two Civil War veterans.
