Nine Years Ago -
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April Singer

minated in their marriage March

time of the Lisbon crash, the sing
er underwent more than two

comeback in hsr career. At the
time of her wedding to Capt. Burn
she said, I'm a few months I'll
throw away these crutches."
And she did. Now she wears a
brace on the leg.
Last Tuesday night, Mr.. and
Mrs. Burn went to a Broadway
theater to see the movie, with
a Song in My Heart" It is a
musical based on the singers life
and her romance with Capt. Burn.
Wednesday morning, Capt. Burn
bid his wife goodby before leaving
their new upper East Side Man
haitian home for a routine"
flight to Puerto Rico.
A layover before the return
Highland yesterday the crash.
When told of the tragedy. Miss
Froman wept and said, 1T just
couldn't happen to U.S."
Later, when she learned her
husband was safe, she told news
men: Il don't know too much
about it, but I'm just happy that
it's all right. I'm going to him at
once. I'll fly"
She boarded a Puerto -Rican-
bound plane last night.

Democrats in Arizona
Seen as Unp|edged
BY the Associated Press

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 12.-The
Arizona Democratic Convention
convenes here today to name a
slate of delegates almost certain
not to be pledged to any presi-
dental candidate at the national
party convention.
The panel of 20, or possibly "a,
members under present plans are
to be uninstructed, but bound by
a unit rule that will permit the
casting of their IL votes as a
single bloc.
Stephen w. Langmade, State
chairman, said the exact number
that will make the trip will not
be decided until the meeting gets
underway this afternoon.
He said "a would be sent if pos
Sible, giving each one-half vote.
The only possible indication of
which aspirant for the Democra-
tic presidential nomination will be
favored by the group will ap-
parently lie in the individual
feelings of each of the members.
Best guesses throughout the
State seem to indicate fairly equal
support for Senator Kerr, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma, Senator Kefau-
yer, Democrat. of Tennessee and
Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois.
There also is scattered feeling
for Senator Russell, Democrat, Of
Georgia, who might easily pick
up more support in States-rights
conscious Arizona. The State has
a strong Southern heritage.

Then I was swimming"
Capt. Burn had sent a message
saying he was trying to return to
the airport after one of the planes
four engines conked out.
Eyewitnesses at historic old
Moro Castle, overlooking the
harbor, saw the plane swing
around and glide toward the
choppy sea in futile effort to
reach safety.
Two employees of the Puerto
Rican Transportation Authority,
Antonio Perez and Victor Ortiz,
reported the plane skinned the
water, hit big wave, broke in
two and sank within two minutes.
It was gone five minutes after
Capt. Burn sent his message about
the engine failure.
Swimming Sharks Sighted.
Coast Guard Capt. c. A. Ander-
son, in charge of all Coast Guard
activities in the Antilles, said the
searchers reported seeing sharks
swimming among fragments of
clothing and other debris that

All through the day and night,
boats patrolled the area, Planes
gave up at dark but went out
again at first light, looking for
more survivors.
There's practically no hope of
finding any of the others alive"
Capt. Anderson said, after order
ing the search continued.
The Coast Guard told a heroic
story about 1t. Comdr. j. Natwing

Europe's Newspapers
Praise Eisenhower,
Silent About Politics.
BY the Associated Press

PARIS. April 12.-The retire
ment of Gen. Eisenhower was
splashed as the top story in mos
European newspapers today. Most
papers praised the retiring NATO
supreme commander but few COM
mented on his Forthcoming
political career.
The rightist Paris newspaper
Aurore headlined: Eisenhower
becomes a civilian again to fight
Taft" The independent leftist
combat said in big type: Ike
liberated June l."
The official Communist organ
L'Humanite gave the Eisenhower
story but 10 lines. It suggested
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway would
be Gen. Eisenhower's successor.
French and British papers gen.
orally favored Gen. Alfred M
Gruenther to succeed his chief.
Moscow Papers Comment.
Moscow newspapers published
the resignation announcement
and commented that it's purpose
is to give Gen. Eisenhower an op-
Iportunity to conduct more
active political campaign for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton.
The London Times said mo
soldier will be found to match"
Gen. Eisenhower's personal, mil
itary and diplomatic qualifica-
tions" for the NATO post.
The conservative Daily Tele-
graph said Gen. Eisenhower's
greatest service has perhaps been
that he has never allowed his fell
low countrymen to forget the
supreme Importance of the de-
fense of Western Europe"
A spokesman in the office of
French Gen. Alphone JUN, COM
mander-in-chief of Allied ground
forces in central Europe, said
|Ocll. Oulu greatly regreCCeQ ElSen-
hower's departure.
West Germans Regretful.
Whatever post the people of
the United States call him to-"
the spokesman said, lone can be
certain that his experience from
the effort accomplished in Eu-
rope constitutes the best guaran-
tee that we could desire for the
taking into consideration at
Washington for our needs, and
the success of our cause, which is
closely tied up with that of all
the nations in the free world"
In Bonn, West German officials
also expressed regret over the
resignation and said they hoped
that if elected, Gen. Eisenhower
would continue the same work in
the interest of peace as he did as
NATO commander.

Showdown in Arminq
Until i. ). Elections
Is Causing Anxiety
By Preston Grover

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent
PARIS, April 12.-The United
States election campaign is slow
ing down European rearmament
and European integration to a de-
gree disturbing to Americans and
Europeans alike.
Among other things the slow
down seems likely to give political
foes of Gen. Eisenhower a toe-hold
for attack.
His decision to give up his NATO
command June l would bring him
to America in time for critics to
question whether he had sue
ceeded in really forming a Euro
pean defense force.
The race between Eisenhower
and Senator Taft for the Repub-
llcan nomination has raised posi-
bilities of a change in American
policy. Officials of organizations
such as NATO admit frankly they
fear Taft victory might change
the whole relationship between
Europe and America.
Big Issues to Hang Fire.
So, until this political battle is
fought, such things as the Euro
pean army and the induction of
Germans for Western defense will
hang fire.
1t is almost certain, some
French officials agree, that no
final action will be taken on the
European army scheme until after
the Republican convention, and
perhaps not until after the No.
vember elections.
A bold effort is being made to
bring about coup to build UP
European morale and affect the
political climate in America.
This is to have the European
army plan signed by it's six pro-
posed members before the Repub-
lican National Convention in July.
This is merely the signing, how
ever, and final ratification by the
six Parliaments seems certain to
await a clearer American polit-
ical atmosphere.
Tough Financial Obstacles.
The European army plan was
revised to bring German divisions
into Western defenSes.
Until this army scheme is ap-
proved, NATO defenses are likely
to remain weak.
The experts who have been
working the European army treaty
into shape have still tough finan-
cial obstacles to hurdle but ex-
pect to have the treaty in final
form late in May. The foreign
of France, West Ger
many. Italy. Luxembourg, Holland
and Belgium could sign it any
time after that.
A showdown in other quarters
also seems Inevitable
Evening star., 1952-04-12

resented a very definite step
sort of a milestone-in the &C
complishment of SHAPE. And
again, I wanted to go, through it
on the same status as of the past
many months.
Now. am not going to attempt
at this moment to tell anything
about my own feelings at leaving
this post, because I have not left
yet. I assure you that before 1
leave I will invite such of you
people as want to come back for
farewell visit-brief and in
formal-possibly 48 hours before
I leave here. So if you should
like to come back I will see you
again.
Important Things to Do.
In the meantime. I'm not going
to discuss any kind of political
question, to reinforce my state
ment of a bit ago. One of the
reasons I have made my request
public noW-or asked it to be made
public because I didn't do it, after
all-iS to enable me to devote
my attention to this job. There
are still important things to do
that believe I can do, and that's
exactly what I plan.
Now, a final point with respect
to NATO. What, I want to en-
phasize is this: Personalities and
partisan viewpoints come and go
in all out countries, but the values
we of SHAPE have been called
upon to defend are those that man
has struggled towards since his
tory began. The quest for peace
and tranquility for all men
everywhere is always with us.
We must keep it sharply in
focus. We must not let this great
cooperative work, to which our
IA NATO countries have so largely
set their hearts and hands, falter
or perish.
Security, peace, ]iberty-these
are the watchwords by which we
live at SHAPE. They represent
the aspirations of all men who
revere the free institutions of our
civilization.
Ladies and gentlemen, shall
hope, as I say. to see you at least
once more before I go. In the
meantime, that's my story.

Race for NAT0 Chief
Appears Narrowed
To 2U. ). Generals
By Elton C.. Fov
" ITEVII -. VVy
Associoted Press Military Affairs Reporter

HSSoS'oteo TIeSS mil1oTy ArruWS Reporter
The Pentagon today began pre-
pairing for presidential request
that it recommend successor to
Gen. Eisenhower as top European
commander, with the choice ap-
parently narrowed down to Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway and Gen
Alfred M. Gruenther.
Technically Gen. Eisenhower
successor could come from any of
the armed services. but the pros
poets are he will be an Army man
and possibly either Gen. Ridgway
supreme commander of the United
Nations forces in Japan and Korea
-chesen by President Truman
when he ousted Gen. Macarthur
or Gen. Gruenther, Gen. Eisen-
hoWerS present chief of staff.
Council Meets This Month.
The Defense Departments cur
rent behind-the-scenes move to
recommend an officer for supreme
command of the Allied powers in
Europe can be neither open nor
official until requests come from:
l. The council of the North At
lantic Treaty Organization to
President Truman, asking him to
name an American to succeed the
present American supreme COM
mander.
2. A request from the White
House for advice on whom to
nominate in answer to the coun-
ellis request. (The council meets
in Paris on April 2D.
The generally accepted idea
here was the council again would
ask for an American.
There was much sentiment ap-
parent m the Pentagon for Gen.
Ridgway, veteran of combat COM
mandA in the World War II Euro
pean campaigning. But Gen.
'Gruenther is better known to
Congress members, administration
leaders and to military chiefs of
the European powers.
Against Gen. Ridgway's reputa-
tion as combat commander was
balanced Gen. Gruenther's repu-
tation as a strategy maker and
adroit negotiator in intricate
European situations.
How Machinery Would Work.
When Mr.. Truman asks for a
recommendation from the Defense
Department. the machinery pre-
will work something like
this:
The Army will consider its
qualified men and Army Secre-
tary Pace and Chief of Staff Gen.
]. Lawton Collins will pass their
idea along to Gen. Omar Bradley,
of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, which will null it over and
confer with Defense Secretary
Mr.. Lovett may then prefer to
get the views of the Armed Forces
Policy Council, made up of the
service secretaries and the chiefs
of staffs of the services.
Then the recommendation will
go to Mr.. Truman, in answer to
his request. The President there
upon nominates the man to the
NATO council and the council
votes on him.

In the dawn of the first Easter.
a forlorn woman heard man say.
Mary That familiar voice was
for her. She had heard
the voice before, and, hearing it
once more. she was alive again.
Just one word, Mary" Nobody
could say it like Jesus. The
cleansed Mary, the whole Mary,
the Mary of self-respect, the Mary
of devotion and zeal, returned
with that word. He comes to us
today just as He did to Mary. He
calls us by name. Then in wonder
and JOY we should respond to Him,
