Ike Returns, Who Will Succeed Him To Head NATO?

WASHINGTON, (P) = T h e Pentagon is almost as anxious as the politicians over Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's plans.
 If and when he returns home, the Pentagon will have to recom- mend a successor as supreme commander of Allied powers in Europe and also make other changes in the NATO Command.
 Washington talk puts h eavy emphasis on the possibility of Gen. Matthew Ridgway, United Nations commander in the Far East, sue ceeding to any vacancy that may develop in the top European com rnand.
 But by no means ruled out are several other American generals, including Eisenhower's chief dep uty, Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther. Ridgway's prominent position among those speculated on as an Eisenhower successor appears based on two primary factors: a brilliant record in World War Il as field commander plus the experience gained since he be- came commander of the U. N forces fighting the Communists in Korea.
 Gruenther, close personal friend of Eisenhower, has repu- tation as a far-sighted planner and strategist. He has been called the "brains of the Army" But his prospects for succeeding to the European command are han dicapped by the fact that he has never held a major field com mand.

Air Command To
 End Duplication In Alaska Facilities

WASHINGTON, The Air Force has ordered the Alaskan Air Command to eliminate dupi- eating facilities planned for Eiel- son Air Force Base near Fair banks.
 Brig. Gen. Robert E. l.. Eaton, director of Air Force legislation and iaison, advised Rep. Norblad R-Ore) of the order in a letter which the congressman made pub lie Wednesday.
 Norblad had complained that a personal inspection of the Eielson sbase indicated the Army and Air Force proposed to build identical chapels, non-commissioned offic- ers' clubs, enlisted mems clubs and other facilities directly across the street from each other.
 He said the duplication was ca needless burden and cost to the taxpayers" and indicated that little was being done to unify and merge facilities of the three ser vices.

Third New York City Tax Collector Is OuSted

WASHINGTON, (P - Monroe D. Bowling, named seven months ago to replace an busted Internal Revenue collector in New York City, has been busted himself.
 Revenue Commissioner John B. Dunlap Monday announced ac- ceptance of Dowling's resignation, by request ''in connection with an irregularity in one of his (per- sonaD income tax returns" The action, Dunlap stressed had mo- thing to do with Dowling's con- duct in office.
 Bowling was the nations eighth and the New York City areas third collector forced from of flee in the current investigation of tax irregularities. He was named by President Truman in August to succeed James w. John- son and clean up the upper Man.

Hundreds of GIs Marry Japanese Girls So They Can Come To U. $.

TOKYO, (P) - Hundreds of American servicemen married Japanese girls Wednesday just in time to beat the deadline for taking their petite brides home to the United States.
 James B. Pitcher, US. consul general, estimated the last-day rush of civil ceremonies at six consular offices increased tn e number of servicemen legally married to Japanese to about 5000.
 Ninety-five soldiers, sailors and marines were married at the Tok- yo consulate. Similar numbers stood beside their fiancees at con- sular offices in Yokohama, Ma goya, Kob, Fukuoka and Sapporo and said "I do" to this question:
 Do you solemnly swear that according to the laws of your state you are of legal marriagable age and there is no hindrance, legal or otherwise, to your uniting in marriage with this girl?"
 That's all there was.

Eisenhower Shows Strength In
 Minnesota Election
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

t6Y THE ASSOCIATED fRESSD
 An astonishing show of write in strength in the Minnesota pri- mary added considerable weight Wednesday to Gen. Eisenhower stature in the fight for the Re- publican nomination for Presi- dent.
 Eisenhower, whose name was not on the Minnesota ballot, was within 5000 votes of favorite-son candidate Harold E. Stassen with many precincts still to be tabu- lated.
 More and more, the race for the COP nomination appeared to be narrowing to duel between Eisenhower and Taft.
 Frank E. Mckinney, Democrat ic National Chairman, told news men after conferring with PreSi- dent Truman at Key West, Fla, that Truman may not run for reelection if a satisfactory" truce is reached in Korea.
 He said the situation in Korea is paramount" in Truman's mind in any decision about his political future.
 Mckinney said, too, that if Truman doesn't run, he won't try to handpick the Democratic nom- inee. He said the President would favor an "open" convention.
 Eisenhower packers were jubi- lant over the generals showing in Minnesota. Sen. Duff R-Pa), said the Minnesota voting demon strates beyond any question that the people want Eisenhower.
 ''The question is," he added, 'are the Republican politicians going to give the people the man they want"

 High on the list of eight recom- mendations in the report were suggestions that the services low CT their sights in the housing con- struction program.
 The report said future construc- ton should not be limited to three bedroom family quarters units" but should include smaller units to meet the actual needs of military families.
 The report criticized present planning procedures, saying that the military has 'been lax in plan ming and coordinating their con- struction needs" for bases to be used by more than one branch.
 In this regard, the committee said it had found plans to dupli- cate numerous facilities for each of the services at Ladd and Eiel- son Air Force Bases.

Truman Pictures Himself Lonely,
 Sentimental Man Nm New Book
 lust Out, Entitled 'Mr. President

WASHINGTON, (P)- Harry S. Truman pictures himself, in ma terial he supplied for a new book out Tuesday, as sentimental, lonely man who sometimes feels the White House has turned him into ga two-headed calf''-a freak in the eyes of the American pub lie.
 He also says he believes "there is no indispensable man in a democracy"
 But he is unwilling to turn over to somebody else the job he re- gards as the hardest in the world.
 The President doesn't say, al- though he makes this comment on politicians in general and he is proud to call himself a politician:
 "They never get out until they die or are kicked out"

day. The title: "Mr. President" casting System commentator, is listed as the author. But some 65,OOO of the 80,000 words are those of Harry Truman himself.
 They are from his leather-bound diaries, his private memoranda, his correspondence, his sometimes startlingly frank conversations.
 This unprecedented--if uncriti- cal-look into the mind and activ- ities of a president still in the White House discloses among other things that:
 Twice, at least, since he took office, Truman has feared World War III was on the verge of breaking out.
 AS early as January, 1946, Tru- man declared he was tired of 'fbabying the Soviets," - saying so in a memo that rapped the knuckles of James F. Byrnes, then

He was solemn, as small boys are

Probably 1t was because he came from

He threw stones at the cats. and even
at the birds. though he has no recol-

One day. while he was walking along

Washington was full Of horses and

Young Jones suddenly had an idea.
Why not give his apple to the poor

It seemed to him good idea, so he
timidly approached. and held out the
offering.
The horse. wanting to see better.
suddenly swung his long neck and large
