operators, the former with a
recently developed genius for
cooperating with organized
labor. Wilson's job, as Secre-
tary of Defense, is expected to
be that of getting production for
the armed services on the most
efficient basis possible. In the
First World War his own

President Truman will urge
Gov. Adlai Stevenson next week
to make a strong Democratic
national committee his first or
der of business.
The defeated presidential
nominee. by custom titular
leader of his party, will be here
Thursday for a dinner being
given by the President for his
cabinet and principal officials.
Other invitations are being sped
to Springfield since it became
known that Gov. Stevenson had
accepted the Truman invitation;
If he wishes, the Governor can
have long and crowded sched-
ule in Washington.
Mr.. Stevenson was in some
respects an unusual candidate.
He is an unusual loser in that
many people, Democrats and
independents alike, are ardently
determined to keep him in the
public eye. One group is al
ready raising funds to put him
on television.
When the outgoing President
discusses the future of the
Democrats and Adlai Steven
son, he is both serious and con-
fldent. He knows there is much
to be done but he thinks the
Republicans will have ceaseless
trouble from the start with the
Dewey faction dominating the
executive branch and the Taft
supporters firmly in the saddle
on Capitol Hill. The President

Eisenhower Pays 5O-Cent Bet
| Lost to Carlson at Convention

President-elect Eisenhower has
paid off a accent bet with Sena-
tor Carlson of Kansas-and the
chances are the check for the
payment will never be cashed.
1t was received by Senator Carl
sons office here Tuesday and
the Senator ordered it locked in
la box as a memento of a presi-
dental campaign in which he took
Ia leading part.
Senator Carlson disclosed in
Kansas City last night he had
received payment on the bet
after a bit of nudging OH lis
part. He and Gen. Eisenhower
had lunch in New York Tuesday
and the President-elect then re-
ceived a gentle reminder of the
bet.
1t arose from the convention
when Gen. Eisenhower bet that
his forces would win a rules con-
test by a majority of $50 votes.

Problems Stogger the World
Crisis in the u. N. Couldn't ave Come at Worst Time
The Interim Between Administrations in the u S.

Gen. Eisenhower earned in
Europe during and after the
war a well-deserved reputation
as a trouble shooter. But he
never had such problems and
troubles as confront him now
and will confront the Nation,
especially during the lame-duck
period.
It's bad luck that the United
Nations General Assembly
meets during this interim be-
tween American Administra-
tions. The U. N. has never been
in such a state of confusion, and
this time it is not only the
Russians who are contributing
to it. ....
The Secretary General,
Trygve Lie, has resigned, leav-
ing the organization without a
Co-ordinator, and impulsively
and unwisely attributing the
nervous breakdown and suicide
of U. N. General Counsel.
Abraham Feller, to the investi-
cation of Americans employed
by U. N. In so doing, Mr.. Lie.
it seems to me, is doing no
service to Mr.. Feller's memory.
We seriously doubt whether
acute melancholia is thus in
duced in otherwise stable per-
Sonalities. Mr.. Feller himself
was not under the slightest
suspicion.
The positions, privileges and
opportunities enjoyed by U. N.
personnel are obviously such
that the organization is bound
to attract Communists or their
sympathizers seeking a cover,

Lowell MelIett:

Among those giving thanks
this Thanksgiving, it can safely
be presumed, are all the people
who have habitually complained
that the New and Fair Deal
administrations were hostile to
business. Gen. EisenhoWer's
earliest appointments have made
it clear that no such charge can
be lodged against his regime.
Charles E. Wilson, head of the
huge General Motors Corpora
ton, and George M. Humphrey,
head of M. H. Hanna Co., are
two of Americas top business
and industrial tycoons. John
Foster Dulles heads one Of the
country's biggest law businesses.
When announcement Of these
appointments was made some
cynics were heard to say that
business would not be repre-
Sented in the new Government
by it's political stooges: it would
represent itself. That was sup
posed to be something new. But
William Allen White made the
same point concerning the ad-
ministration of his friend. Calvin
Coolidge. It is interesting to
recall what he wrote in his book,
"A Puritan in Babylon"
I'm 10 months e." he said.
"Calvin Coolidge had remade the
Republican Party. Coolidge
gave his leadership frankly,
openly. proudly to American
business by direct rather than
by indirect control. Heretofore
for so years his party had served
business through the leadership
of politicians. They assumed to
arbitrate between capital and
government, between the people
and organized plutocracy-Gov-
ernment invisible and. never
quite brazen. Coolidge in 10
months had wrecked that po-
litical liaison. He destroyed the
arbitration myth by putting
much Of the control Of the Re-
publican Party directly into

So long as the U. S. S. r. and
its satellites can raise havoc

expected to remain a symbol.
A rehabilitation of the U. N. is
essential if it is to survive and
accomplish the objectives for
which it was created. For the
time being. many of the men,
ber nations believe that by pla-
eating the MuScovites we could
keep jogging along. So long as
the world does not become in
volved in a general war, these
members feel, the U. N. is ac-
complishing a modest but useful
purpose. They are all trying to
guess the intentions of the men
in the Kremlin instead of taking
a realistic view of the U. S. S. RS
present military capabilities.
They also shrink from the idea
of revising the Charter and ex-
pelling the Muscovites and their
satellites because they are show
ing themselves to be the only
aggressors in the world today.
That was done in 1889 by the
League of Nations as its last act
before it expired from inanition.

and the U. S. A. as host to this
organization would be remiss in
its duty to itself, and all who are
associated with us, if it did not
continually exercise a most
careful screening of American
citizens attached to the U. N.
The breakdown of Mr.. Feller,
a pasSionately idealiStic believer
in the United Nations as the
only hope for peace, is much
more likely to have been in
duced. as was Mr.. Lies resig-
nation, by the general crisis
within the international organ
ization. The body is apparently
hopelessly divided. One faction
of 1t is de facto in actual war
against the other, in Korea.
And there are other riffs among
its members of a hardly less
serious nature. In fact, at the
end of the seventh year of the
U. NJ, the organization is in a
much further advanced condi-
ton of disintegration than was
the old League of Nations at
comparable time. nor has the
U. N. practically accomplished
anything near as much as the
league had at the end of the
first seven years. And the league
lasted only eleven years.

David Lawrence:

Some of the important men
who have done business with
Dwight Eisenhower since he
became President-elect say he
is already bringing to the tasks
before him a directness of ap-
proach and thoroughness that
will make him an unusual
Chief Executive, to say the
least.
II did more business in IS

than I normally would be able
to get done in four months.
The moment I came in /
was asked If had written

of my problem. 1t was fairly
long. but the general read every

asked for my views and gave
me a decision.
"One of the matters concerned
something to be carried out by
one of the Government depart

should take it up with the cabi-
net officer -to-be. I said I would
rather the word would come
from the general direct, so he
picked up a telephone and told
the man who was to head up
the department under which our
commission is operating all the
essential points of my errand.
Then and there another decision
was made and I left with a feeling
that the road ahead is clear, as
our commission will overlap
from one administration to the
other"
The subject in question con-
Germs public service-not pri-
vate business. The caller has
known Gen. Eisenhower for a
long time and was in a position
to contrast earlier contacts in
the military field with action on
civilian problems. He said the
general has a quick way of
grasping the meaning of a COM
plicated problem and will not
delay decisions when he gets all
the facts.

belief among leading Republi-
cans is that in the past we have
not objected too StrenuouSly to
having our hands tied and have
permitted the diplomatic con-
SiderationS of our associates in
the Korean war to handicap our
military capabilities. Gen. Eli
Senhower knows that on at
least two occasions since the
Chinese Communists joined the
war we have had an excellent
chance to push them back
across the Yalu River. That
military operation was not un-
dertaken because of the opposi-
ton of our allies. They not only
feared a. violent reaction from
the Kremlin, but also were wor-
ried that it would lessen Amer
ica's financial and economic
assistance to Europe.
In the 18 months of futile

munjom, we probably have en-
dured as many casualties as if
we had taken decisive steps to
end the war.
Our prestige IN Europe has
suffered not only because we
gave our. allies the impression
that we were not capable of de-
feating the Red hordes, but also
because of our dillydallying at
titude in regard to NATO. Amer
lea is the cornerstone of that
coalition. Since 1850 it has be-
come evident that most of our
NATO allies were dragging their
feet on rearmament for a va
riety of reasons, some valid, some
not. Gen. Eisenhower as SUI
preme commander urged the in
clusion of at least 100000 Ger
mans in the NATO armies. The

the Senator from Ohio intends
to be the majority leader.
What Mr.. Truman wants is a
reorganization of the national
committee under the strongest

emphasis on a research section.
He feels that such a committee
can throw the book at the Re-
publicans with telling effect.
The opportunities. he says,
won't be long in coming, either.
During his incumbency the
President did not set the kind of
example for the committee that
he is about to urge upon Gov.

Unquestionably what is in

nor hasn't had much experience
with national problems from the
Washington viewpoint, but he
doesn't have to know too much
about their detail. What he has
to know is whether or not a
particular problem shall take
precedence over another, and
who ought to be given time for
personal consultation with the
President and whose request
can wait. He can. moreover.
delve into a particular problem
that becomes tangled and follow
through for the President and
see that it is solved, or at least
acted on promptly.
A new setup in the White
House, a new way of doing
business, new way to save
the Presidents time and health
can emerge from the job that
is being assigned to Gov. Adams.
1t could, of course, result in a
lot of bitter feeling and animosi-
ties and cause all sorts of con-
fusion. Gov. Adams, like the
President-elect. has a lot to
learn about the tasks of the

Constantine Brown:

Prominent Republicans who
have discussed future foreign
policies with Gen. Eisenhower
and John Foster Dulles are con-
vinced that efforts of the next
administration will be directed
at wrenching away from the
U. S. S. r. the initiative in world
affairs this country lost at Yalta.
The dismal picture of the world
situation presented to Gen. Ell
senhower. two weeks ago at the
White House and Pentagon
meetings strengthened the con-
viction Of our future Chief Ex-
ecutive that it is necessary to-:
Cd restore our dented prestige in
Europe: CD consolidate the re-
manning free nations in Asia.
and 90 strengthen the United
Nations by bringing some radi-
cal changes in its constitution.
Both Gen. Eisenhower and
the future Secretary of State
have made it clear that the
United States will adopt a bal
anced diplomatic diet by giving
as much attention to the Far
East as to Europe. The policy
of "let the dust settle" in Asia
expressed by Secretary Acheson
will be definitely abandoned.
The new administration is ex-
pected to take a far stronger
stand in the Korean war and
will make every endeavor to end
the attrition of our manpower
and substance by whatever
means are necessary. The phi
losophy of the outgoing adminis-
