as the Defense Department, in
the outgoing Truman admini-
stration as during the previous
Roosevelt administration.
1t seems fair to point out,
however, that cabinet officers
are likely to have a stronger i'm
print upon Eisenhower admini-
stration policy than upon that
OF the two previous administra-
tionS, in particular the Roose-
velt administration which it
self set the course of policy gen.
orally pursued also by the Tru-
man administration. This is
because, the President-elect is
expected to rely more upon his
cabinet advisers for policy, has
indicated as much himself, and
perforce is virtually compelled
to do so due to his lack of pre-
vious experience in civilian gov
ernment and politics.
Inherently of big business is
Charles E. Wilson, designated as
Secretary of Defense, though he
is catalogued among those low
known as enlightened" busi-
nessmen. He is the directing
head of one of the country'S and
the worlds great corporate en-
terprises. One in fact that the
present administration. at least,
has regarded as too closely allied
with another great corporate
giant. E. I. Du Pont de Nemours
Co.. for the health of our gen.
eral economy.
In an antitrust suit now be-
ing tried in Chicago. the JUS
tice Department contends that
individual members of the Du-
FONT Company hold enough
stock in both General Motors
and U. S. Rubber Company to
have absolute control of these
two companies. The community
Of interest between Du Pont and
General Motors long has been
recognized in business circles.

able lawyer, Mr.. Humphrey has
learned about finance and the
sound uses Of invested capital
through years of indefatigable
work. His brain now is being
hired for the secretaryship Of
the Treasury and the moment
he takes the oath of Office no
body will get any favors and all
citizens will be treated fairly
and equitably-the same simple
and inexorable rule applied by
the big and efficiently managed
companies which are entrusted
with huge sums of money bor-
rowed from the public. This is
something uniformed critics in
the college classrooms who have
been fed perennial prejudices
never learned.
The Treasury Department
with its vast responsibilities now
will feel the touch of busi-
ness efficiency, practically and
soundness plus the all-important
requirement-integrity.

fense. or John Foster Dulles, the
new Secretary of State, or Her.
bert Brownell, the prospective
Attorney General or George
Humphrey, the Secretary of the
Treasury or Gov. Douglas Nc
Kay. who is to be the Secretary
of the Interior, the theme of the
new administration is to be Or
derliness.
This contrasts with confusion,
opportunistic thinking, and the
claSs-conscious and political ap-
proach which during the last 20
years has made of the words
New Deal" and Fair Deal" a
mockery of their original mean
ing. The American people voted
for change-and they will get
it in the form of a practical
minded President and cabinet.
They'll get it still more in a
practical-minded foreign policy
when President-elect Eisenhow-
er has looked things over in
Korea, for this is the key to
the National and international
policy-making of tomorrow.

Republican National Committee
are now in a position to pro-
vide Republican leadership in
the South with some of the
real sinews of war.
In the past such sinews have
been used only to build private
power and fortune; most South
ern Republican leaders delib-
erately kept the party small,
co-operated with the Democrats
locally and swallowed what
crumbs fell from the table. Those
who successfully supported Gen.
Eisenhower at Chicago de-
claimed loudly against such
practices and affirmed passion
ately their intention Of building
a two-party system in their
States.
It should not take too long to
tell which will triumph, now
that the general is elected-the
crusading or the club spirit. The
business interests, especially oil,
which so vehemently supported
the Eisenhower campaign in the
South, do not of course care
greatly about a party label; they
work both sides of the street
IN the South as elsewhere.
The Southern primaries did
show that great numbers of
young people and women were
interested in the Presidential
campaign. They are the raw
material Of a strengthened
G. o. P. if their nominal lead
ers and the victorious Republi-
can hierarchy in Washington
care to undertake the hard, slow
task Of organization. The two
party system will not evolve
spontaneously.

Big business in Government
6senhoWers Cabinet Selections Show He Has Moved
Rapidly to Fulfill Promises Made Dlrno Connoion

President elect Eisenhower
has moved rapidly to fulfill his
campaign promise to bring
businessmen into Government.
How much of a big business
and big finance coloration the
Eisenhower administration will
show is foreshadowed by his
selections for the three top and
key cabinet posts-John Foster
Dulles as Secretary of State;
Charles E. Wilson, General Mo-
tors president, as Secretary of
Defense, and George M. Hum
phrey. president of Mark Hanna
Co. Of Cleveland. steel manufac-
turerS, as Secretary Of Treasury.
This was no more than ex-
pected by any close observer of
the Eisenhower preconvention
campaign and its sponsorship.
How it will turn out so far as
the. public interest is concerned
must. Of course, await perform
ance. But. despite a manifest
tendency to withhold criticism
and judgment, it seems proper
to point out such salient and
important facts as the pattern
develops. For the backgrounds
and what the late President
Roosevelt once called economic
predictions" of key figures in
an administration have an i'm
pact on policy, both domestic
and foreign. That does concern
all our people.
Mr.. Dulles, an experienced
diplomat for many years, also is
by profession a lawyer whose
New York firm, Sullivan and
Cromwell, has represented and
still represents powerful inter-
national industrial and financial
groups which themselves have
big stakes in our foreign as well
as our domestic policy. This
was so before World War II and
Is so today.
This is, to be sure, nothing
entirely new. Such interests
likewise have been influential in
the State Department. as well

in the suit which, presumably,
will be next spring when he is
a member Of the Eisenhower
cabinet and when the Justice
Department will be under the
direction of a cabinet colleague,
Herbert Brownell. who is to be-
come Attorney General.
Mr.. Wilson was an early Ell
senhower booster and officials of
his company were active about
the Chicago convention in be-
half of the generals nomina-
ton. Mr.. Brownell also played
a leading role in promoting the
nomination in association with
Gov. Dewey of New York.
General Motors and it's sub
sidiaries now have the largest
volume of defense contracts
with the Government. $2.907
million, or Sc per cent of the
dollar-volume total, indicating
the scope Of the company's busi-
ness relations with the Gov
ernment.
Mr.. Humphrey. slated for
Secretary Of Treasury. who is a
lawyer by profession and came
into the Mark Hanna Co. as
general attorney. has many
other business and financial
connections Of a substantial
character.
He and Mr.. Wilson were as
sociated once before. That
was in 1949 when Mr.. Hum
phrey was chairman and Mr..
Wilson a member of the five
man commission appointed by
Paul Hoffman, then ECA ad-
ministrator, to study the Ger
man reparations problem. The
committee recommended a con-
siderable increase in steel pro-
duction allowed Germany. An
increase subsequently was ap-
proved, though resisted by those
who feared a resurgence Of Ger
many and who also advocated a
strong program to break up the
great German monopolies or

coalition. And while the top
men in Office smell a Red rat.
the bulk Of the French and
British people who are gripping
loudly over the burdens of re-
armament seem to welcome any
political combinations which
would relieve them of that
burden.
The bulk of French people
and many in Britain and other
parts of Western Europe are :
convinced that they will never
be forced into becoming satel-
lites. They reject Communism
as a political form of govern
ment in their own countries
but are convinced that this
should not preclude cordial
relations with the Muscovite
empire which has a Commu-
mist government. When it is
pointed out to those advocates
of immediate close relations
with the U. S. S. r. what has
happened in the European
countries behind the Iron Cur
tain. they reply that those
countries always have been
satellites of great powers in one
form or another.
Thus the spade work Of the
Kremlin done during the last
eight months seems to have
been at least partially success
full. If the present American
Government stood adamantly
by its guns in the prisoner-of-
war question, the high officials
Of the State Department fear
1t would give further encour-
agement to the neutralist
movement in Western Europe

veering European public opin-
ion further toward the U. S. S. r.

ministration will have taken
over and it will act according to
its own lights.
Few Americans, with even
limited experience in dealing
with Communists. have much
hope that the new approach to
the armistice problem will be
successful.
We have become skeptical
over Moscow's intentions be-
cause of long series of bitter
disappointments, of which Ko-
rea has been the most costly
of all. While it is possible that
the patience of the men in
charge of the country's foreign
affairs may not have been
exhausted. it has become evil
dent recently that the patience
of the American people has al
most run out.
But while the people of this
country are looking toward a
definite settlement in Korea,
the diplomats are looking much
further. They realize that the
Indian proposal has had a wide
appeal not only in Government
circles in London and other
Western Allied capitals but also
among the peoples of those
countries to whom a face-saving
appeasement appeals now as it
did in the past.
Top State Department off,
cials point out that an adamant
attitude on the part of the
United States regarding the
prisoners of war problem would
be highly welcome in Moscow
where a political offensive has
been planned for some time
and is now being carried out

Gov. Shivers Of Texas is va
cationing in Nassau from the
labors which turned his State
to the President-elect and will
send to Washington a Senator,
Price Daniel, who says he will
be an independent" Democrat.
Mr.. Daniel makes it clear that
he will be independent of the
Fair Deal: he does not say what
other interests and philosophy
he will be independent of.
Gov. Shivers, attractive, ar
ticulate and wealthy, is credited
by some Texans with ambitions
to be the leader of a reformed"
Democratic party. They expect
him to fish in the troubled wa
ters of the new minority with
increased authority.
II Gov. ShiverS fulf1lls these
expectations he must inevitably
come in conflict with the senior
Senator from Texas, Lyndon

tivated the "left wing" and
gave the impression that he was
ashamed of his background or
that he felt he would make
political progress if he moved
over to the ''left" and diSavowed
his earlier principles.
There isn't a reason in the
world why able men shouldn't
be selected for Government
posts whether they come from
big business or big finance or
Wall Street or from big union
ism. Once upon a time President
Harding toyed with the idea of
making John L. Lewis his Sec
retary of Labor and one wonders
what recent history would have
been like in the field of labor
management disputes if the tall
ents and organizing genius of
Lewis had been utilized in be-
half of the Government Of the
United States instead of for a

impression that General Eisen-
hower's electoral inroads there
represent in the thinking of
the people more punishment
for the Truman administration
than any constructive desire to
build the Republican Party,
starting at the courthouse level.
Political observers do not
credit any of the boiling Demo-
Gratis with anything more than
a desire to regain control of
their own party.
There is some slight evidence
to support this opinion in the
refusal of Senator Byrd of Vir-
ginia to respond to overtures
from General Eisenhower in
connection with a cabinet post.
Sources close to the Senator say
that such overtures ended with
his decision that he did not
want to be Secretary of the
Treasury.
Senator Byrd votes the Re-
publican party line more con-
sistently even than Senator
Taft but perhaps he was not
thinking of himself. His son,
Harry Flood. jr.. is a rising po-
litical star in Virginia and the
Senator may not have wished

Kentucky, according to the Agri-
cultural Extension Office. The
trip was sponsored by the j. NJ.

TIC boys toured the 132 acre
plant to get an idea of how trac-

They saw how the molten metal is
formed into castings, how parts
are forged and milled and finally
completed. They followed step by
step the progress of motor block
assembly line to the finished trac-
tor. They also watched the test

Unrequired

State motor and boat licenses
are not required for the operation
of watercraft on streams in the
state.
An erroneous impression that
licenses were required on the
streams was given to the public in
recent news release from the
Wildlife Division. State licenses
are required only on lakes under
the control of state agencies.
Special licenses are required for
the operation of boats and motors
on the lakes of the Muskingum

required at the Berlin reservoir,
however they are free. No licenses
are required on Lake Erie and

The Golden anniversary OF. the
adoption of the official flag of
Ohio will be celebrated in May. 1t
