81 am not SO certain that is the
way to approach it," said Gen.
Eisenhower. But ! will say this:

promote this thing that is to my
mind so completely necessary to
us ALL"
To a later question on the same
subject, he said he did not know
whether the differences between
the United States and Russia are
negotiable.
"They are not negotiable as long
as the Soviet doctrine insists that
communism may not coexist in the

where they may modify that state

where we can work out method
of living with them"

mitted to President William
Howard Taft, father of the Sena-
tor, were seated over those COM
mitted to Theodore Roosevelt. Taft
forces controlled the National
Committee and the credentials
committee of the convention.
The luncheon conference at the'l
Graduates club at Columbia Uni
versity lasted nearly two and al
half hours. Many other subjects1
