MAYORS Purchase
Oakland Hardware

Sale of McIntirc's Oakland Hard
ware and Furniture Company, Inc.
to the A. d. Naylor and Company was
announced this morning. The arrange
mcnts were completed last evening
according to S. T. Naylor.
The purchase includes the building
stock and fixtures, but not the ac-
counts. For this purpose Mrs. Walter
Welch will remain in the building for
several months to take care of the
collection of the McIntire accounts.
The same type of business will be
operated under the name of Oakland
Hardware and Furniture company

Naylor in charge.
The Oakland Hardware was begun
in Oakland about 81 years ago by the
late c. N. McIntirc. The present build
ing, corner of Third and Alder streets,
was constructed around 1927. The
original store was on Second street,
Mr. McIntirc having taken over the
old Davis Hardware store, located in
the building now occupied by the j.
w. Jackson store.

been operating the Oakland Hardware
store, will remain here for several
months, but eventually will go TO

Intirc hardware. At present stores
are located in Kcnsington and Chevy

legiance. He apparently intends
to sit there voting mo" as long
as he has the breath to do so,
or as long as his tight State
organization can furnish him
with the necessary votes.
Senator O'Conor. of course,
doesn't have the same principal
excuse for dissenting that most
of his fellow anti Truman DEM
ocrats offer-their fear that
white supremacy" may be lost
in the South. He has walked
rather warily around the issue
Of race relations, and anyhow
the question is less than decisive
in his State. 1t certainly
wouldn't pay to be a Dixiecrat
in Maryland.
He just generally agrees with
the Republicans on most issues.
And it is not because he can
not tell the difference. He is
not like Gen. Eisenhower, who
remarked a couple of years ago.
I hope the Republican Party
will develop a set Of party prin-
ciples SO that even a person as
dumb as I am will be able to tell
the difference between Demo-
crat and a Republican.

Mr.. Hughes was stationed In
Washington: he used to see the
princes of the press at the Ma
tional Press Club bar and,
watching them interview each
other, was not impressed. They
are, however, people of great
experience whom politicians oc-
casionally surprise but never
repeat never-disappoint.
Granted. however, that the
young are right-and they are
right more often than their
elders are willing to admit-it is
still true that:
If Gen. Eisenhower is genu-
inely reluctant to be President
he will not be President. He
will not be nominated and if,
miraculously, through some
stupidity of others. he gets a
default nomination, he will not
be elected. The presidency goes
to men who prize it. Senator
Taft may not be the worlds
greatest politician but he can
whip reluctant dragons, and so
can most candidates for alder
man.
Finally, if Gen. Eisenhower
does not want the greatest elec-
tive Office in the world; the
splendid, shining tribute of a
wonderful country whose people
are competent and idealistic be-
yond any ruling power in his
tory, he should not have it,

transcending everything that
may happen in Europe and the
Middle East. This. it is reliably
stated. was the essence Of the
presentation made by Gen. AL
phonSe-Pierre Juin to represent
ativeS Of the American and
British general stats in a three
day conference behind closed
doors.
Gen. JUN is also said to have
been doubtful about the advan-
tage Of an armistice in Korea on
Chinese Communist terms. Such
an arrniStice. he said, would
only free an additional number
Of battle hardened Chinese
Communist air and ground
forces for service in Southeast
Asia while the American and
Allied forces would remain
pinned down during interlmina-
BILE @peace'' negotiations on the
diplomatic level
The French general. who has
no. political Affiliations and has
not allowed his political supe-
riors to interfere with his mill
tary thinking. made it plain to
his American and British coll
leagues that France Is not in
the least interested in colonial
ism in Asia. His country would
be only too delighted to get out
of the present mess which has
cost tens ! Of thousands Of
French lives and billions of
dollars. But 1t is unable to do

The French general also
pointed out that the security of
the Pacific in SO far as this
country is concerned would be
even more threatened than if
we had been pushed militarily
out Of Korea last year. A Russian
victory in Southeast Asia would
jeopardize Japan and the
Philippines.
From the strictly military
point Of view the abandonment
Of Indo- China by the French
would be o help rather than q
handicap. The 10 divisions
which the French now have in
that battle area could be used to
greater advantage on the Rhine.

only partly justified. France

Lowell MeHett:

Herbert O'Conor, who has
served flve years in the U. s.
Senate without attracting very
much attention, announces that
he will not be a candidate for
reelection. That is attracting a
great deal Of attention. because
Of the reasons he gives for his
decision. The principal reason
he gives is the fact that he is
out Of step with his party's
leadership. ..
Mr.. O'Conor has been in.
Democratic politics ever since
he was old enough to vote. The
greater part Of the time he has
been q Democratic Office holder.
He had two terms as Governor
Of Maryland before he was
elected to the Senate. He is a
young man. as Senators go,
being! a jaunty. boyish- looking
IS, and his health is reputed to
be good.
Naturally there are those who
discount the reasons he gives.
They say the Senator isn't a
bit sure he can be nominated
again and wants to retire with
q record of never having been
beaten. It is a fact that very
strong opposition to his renom-
ination has developed and that
some important Maryland poll
ticians had predicted that his
finish was in sight. But Mr..
O'Conor has faced such opposi-
tion before. and he would be diff
ferent from most Senators If he
didn't believe that he was truly
the peoples choice.
. So 1t is only fair to take his
explanation at its face value.
He won't run. he says. because
Of Tack Of sympathy with Ger
tain programs" meaning. pre-
Sumably, certain Truman pro-
grams or the programs contained
in the. Democratic platform.
There is no question about
Senator o'Conor's being opposed
to much of the platform on
which his party came into power.
But In this respect he has plenty
Of company In the Senate. For
an outstanding example, there
is Senator Harry Byrd, from
across the river In Virginia.
Compared to Senator Byrd,
Senator O'Conor Is the soul Of
loyalty to the Democratic ad-
1ninistration. But Senator Byrd,
coming up for reelection this
l year. is indicating no dispose
tion to renounce his party IL
Evening star., 1952-01-15

ference last week that Gen.
Eisenhower didn't turn out to
be q Democrat may mean that
he would have retired in favor
Of the general. Unquestionably
many highly placed officials did
approach the general in recent
months in the hope OF per-
suading him to come out as a
Democrat.
Mr.. Truman. at that same
press conference, seemed to i'm
ply that, because Gen. Eisen-
hover came out as a Repub-
lican. that disqualifies him for
the presidency in the eyes of all
Democrats. But lifelong party
loyalty is not as controlling as
/. Mr.. Truman thinks it is. The
late Franklin D. Roosevelt re-
vealed once that he voted for
Theodore Roosevelt, Republican
nominee in 1904. AS for Judge
Parker, Democratic presiden-
tial nominee in 1904. it is doubt
full whether he had supported
William Jennings Bryan, the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nee in 1896 and 1900. It will be
recalled that Wendell Willkie
was the Republican presidential
nominee in 1910, but he was at
one time a delegate to a DEM
ocratic national convention
which nominated Bryan. So
what Gen. Eisenhower did when
he made a speech for the Dem
ocratic Party at the age of 18
doesn't count very much now.
Besides, the lifelong" vote
isn't enough in either party to
swing a majority in the country.
For. a substantial segment OF
the electorate often switches
from one party affiliation to the
other to vote for the man whom
the independent voters regard
as the better of the two noud-
nees. That's the healthiest thing
about the American political
system.

Wall Street Journal Reports General Wants to Be Farmer
Today Senotor Lodge Is Set to Declare the Opposite

The Wall Street Journal yes

Cured to your correspondent in

The Wall Street Journal is
an admirable newspaper which
your correspondent reads every

per copy. Mr.. Roosevelt read
it, daily: President Truman
should, though it often seems
that he doesn't.
It is perfectly apparent that
Mr.. Hughes has seen the great
man at SHAPE, and has been
genuinely impressed by his i'm
tphcity. his sincerity and his
clear intelligence.
No doubt to Mr.. Hughes the
inkstained wretches from Wash
ington who have also called at
SHAPE and carried away con-
trary Impressions with respect
to the generals candidacy are
merely victims Of the worlds
slow stain who have lost the
ability to recognize the genuine

China.
Gen. JUN is said to have
Scoffed at the idea of so many
American diplomats who believe
that they can counter Moscow's
aggressive policies in Asia by
grants. loans and gifts of money
and food to Asiatic nations.
Russia, he is reported to have
stated, is fighting a military
action and is using millions of
fanatical soldiers without any
sacrifice on her part. The at
tempt to counter the Russian
military aggressiveness by finan-
cial and economic assistance to
governments which can barely
stand on their own is like try
ing to catch a bird by putting
salt on its tail.
Economic assistance is of
great Importance in countries
which have been independent
for many years and whose
people have a national con-
sciousness. But it is only q mild
palliative to countries whose
peoples have been ruled for CEN
turieS by foreign administrators
and have not yet had time to
fully understand the meaning of
independence and self-govern-
ment.
Not more than 10 per cent of
the peoples in this area of Asia
are politically and nationally
minded. They have not had
time since their countries be-
came independent of Western
rule after the last war to or
ganize a national defense ca
pable Of resisting the Moscow
onslaught. The realistic dicta-
tors in the Kremlin realize this
and from the time their puppets
were able to take over China
their military aggressiveness has
not Jagged for a moment.
Moscow realizes that her
plans for world conquest cannot
