Eisenhower Nuke
Gains i'm Ohio


COLUMBUS, March "a (INSD
The blue-chip Eisenhower stock
went up a couple of Ohio points
today when two Youngstown dele
gate-candidates pledged to Har-
old E. Stassen announced that
their second choice if elected
would be Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
The word came from George l..
Stowe, a Youngstown councilman
and co-chairman of the former
Minnesota Governors organization
in Ohio. He said he was speaking
for himself and Frank R. Frankie,
an assistant police prosecutor.
Eisenhower's name will not ap-
pear on the May 6 Ohio Primary
ballot. However, Stassen has a
slate of delegate candidates en-
tered opposing the state organiza-
ton slate pledged to Sen. Robert
A. Taft.
The move was regarded as an
open bid by S~tassenties for sup
port from Eisenhowe r hackers.
However, it would also mean that,
if Stassen were put out of the run
ming at the Republican convention
in Chicago the week of July 7,
the votes then would go to the
NATO Commander.
Stowe did not say whether his
announcement had been cleared
with Stassen. The Minnesotan has
denied repeatedly that his candid
acy was a cover for Eisenhower,
and has added that his delegates
can vote as they please after he
frees them.
Under Ohio law, Ohio convent
ion delegates must vote for their
pledged choice on the first ballot
unless that candidate frees them.
On the Democratic side, dele

Fifth Avenue

NEW o (GLOBAD-Fifth Avenue of New York
City is the promenade of distinctive modes in fashion.
Travelled daily by models" of every age, race, creed and
color, the area presents a continuous show of styles that
male fashion headlines.
The parade goes on from early morning when the
hatless poodle-coiffed lady leads the canine that inspired
her cut, to the unsober hours of night when lovers stroll
and listen to the swish-swish of multi-petticoats
Breath-taking pyramided and hour-glassed coats are
seen in profusion, their silhouettes following the natural
shoulder line, and with yards and yards of swirl in the
hemline. These coats along with the profiled coolie and
queen styled brims and crowns that top them off, dub the
Fifth Avenue models" Victorian facsimiles. More, the
combination lends a Victorian femininity which is hardly
enhanced by the dainty striped, dotted and %glimmering
scarfs and other accessories.
Edging into the picture is the trend back to French
Empire days. Seen here and there is the high waistline
and ultra narrow skirt. Later on this year when the
models" shed their coats, into view will loom more de-
licately lined dressmaker suits, with short fitted jackets
replacing the ripping lines of yester season.
The %paraders, by and large, are women who can af-
ford to build their wardrobe out of the fabulous stock of
the Avenues stores. This means that the modes they wear
are about as late as the lavish window displays. And Of
ten the advertising plugs, "seen on Fifth Avenue may be
taken to mean "seen on one of the promenaders."
Many white models, having a fascination for the
rich brown complexion Of coored peoples, have abandon
ed shades OF makeup that might further the idea ofwhite
supremacy. So, in numerous instances, especially after
dark, very little, often nothing remains to betray race or
nationality.
The beautiful sheer, lace and net ankle length gowns
that show beneath the minks, sables and cashmeres at
evening, mark the finale of a days show of fashions. The
Fifth Avenue Promenade of Fashion has etched the i'm
preston that New York no longer trails Paris in the
sphere of feminine vogue. The Metropolis now takes her
place as the fashion center of the world.

Most we'll trained Roman Leglons
were far away on police duty in con-
ouered states. Few places In all Italy
were safe for Romans of the own
ing and ruling classes. OF course,
not all revolters succeeded IN reach
ling the Spartacus forces. Thousands
were killed and other thousands cap
Itured. AS a "token of punishment"
the Senate decreed qualification for
such captives. Economic justification
was on the ground that slaves were
too cheap. A decrease in slave popu-
lation would increase prices. About
1000 were nailed to crosses along
a hundred mile stretch of the Appian
WAY. Some died in two or three
hours. others on the third or fourth
day. Memory of the butchery may
live as long as earthly time endures.
For two years Spartacus registered
succession of brilliant military sue
cesses. There grew a general bellef
that he would soon conquer Rome.
Then as has so often happened, the
class he was trying to help failed to
continue active support. He needed
recruits and supplies but why should
a slave risk death by crucifixion.
Spartacus would win and freedom
come anyway. So they reasoned and
lost, as did Spartacus and his holy
cause. Another great lesson grows
out of the book and the times in
which it is laid. Concentration of eco
nomic and political power breeds an
greed-a greed that final
ly has no limits.

sons from this we'll written book. 1t

volumes Mr. Fast has turned out. At
any rate, its reading may plant some
new ideas of the processes that make
history, and it may also keep the

chapter does leave one pleasant taste.

slave gladiators, their training at
men.
Some incidents in Batiatus' arena
touched off the countrywide slave
revolt. To amuse three friends, a
homosexual Roman had arranged for
two pairs of gladiators to fight naked
and to the death. In the first match
Jew, so times a winner, speedily
mortally wounded a less experienced
Thracian, but took a flogging rather
than strike the finishing blow af-
ter his adversary was down. The
main match was a gigantic negro,
armed with a three pronged spear,
against the more active Spartacus and
his dagger. AS they squared for ac-
ton the black headed for the Roman
party slipping wine in a cushion lined
box high on the side lines. He killed
a guard and got within six feet of
his covering quarry before dropping
dead with four spears embedded in
his back. The following morning
Batiatus selected another black glad
iator, had him pierced by two spears
and then hung on the iron barred
fence that enclosed the training pen.
Discipline must be observed.
Another morning VINE d At
breakfast the gladiators killed the
mess hall guards, armed themselves
with such knives and table legs as
they could, listened to brief instruc-
tons from Spartacus and bolted thru
the kitchen to a gravel covered area
outside all walls. Here were about
fifty Roman soldiers taking battle po-
sitions. These were circled, pelted
with rocks and then charged. About
thirty slaves were killed but the army

Author Fast has woven this great
episode into a historical novel. AS
far as my knowledge goes the novel
is accurate as to main points of the
story it tells. How much of the de-
tail is factual l do not know. The
presentation is certainly in keeping
with what is known of Roman civil
cation and the savagery of the times.
The book is a vivid and hair raising
account of about what must have
happened, with side lights on the
philosophy, thinking, habits and cul-

historical event. With odds all against

BOOK REVIEW

Publisher, Box Ill, Planetarium

By THE BOOKWORM

The City of Rome was founded
about 1853 B. c. By 264 B. c.. it had
prospered, grown strong and become
the city-state that ruled most of
what is now Italy. 1t was governed
Iby a Senate, the membership of
which was elected by popular vote.
Since the farming and small village
population could not we'll journey to
Rome to vote, the Senators were
generally the richest and best known
men of the city, while the votes that
elected them came almost wholly
from this area
The conquest of Italy had made
Rome one of the five leading states
of the Mediterranean world and ush-
cred in an era of increasing ambition
and mounting arrogance. Between
254 and 81 B. G. Rome conquered,
and by armed might, finally ruled
all lands bordering the Mediterranean
Sea and much of present Spain,
France, Germany and Britain. With
this period of increasing military
came corruption, vice, crime
and a brutality that has few paral-
lels in history. 1t was near the end
of this barbarous age, or about II
B. c., that the scene of Mr.. Fast's
latest and possibly most effective
book is laid.
Most history books gloss it over
out, so-called Roman civilization was
based wholly on chattel slavery.
Scores of thousands of prisoners tax

of slave women and free
men, often sold at or years of /

much larger than the total of free

auch of Italy slaves became so num-
rous, and so cheap, that the COM ,
1on classes of free citizens could
ct no work to do. They were sup
orted by a dole and picked up what I

ctivity and crime.
