Islands Higher
Than Ever,' y Ike
Says Of His Boy

ABROAD EISENHOWER SPE-
CIAL R,-Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover and Sen. Richard M. Nixon
marched side by side back to the
political wars today after a dra-
matically fearful reunion in Wheel
ing, w. Va.
Although Eisenhower took on a
heavy whistle stop schedule in
West Virginia and Maryland, and
Nixon flew west to Salt Lake City,
they were teamed solidly by a
107 to 0 vote of confidence by the
Republican National Committee in
the vice presidential nominee.
Washed out were any doubts
that might have been in the mind
of Eisenhower, the COP presiden-
tial standard bearer, whether Nix
on's acceptance of more than S18,-
600 in privately-raised expense
funds from wealthy Californians
should count him out as a cam
didate.
Standing before a shivering
crowd of about 1000 persons which
failed to fill the flood-lightcd
Wheeling Municipal Stadium, Els
enhower testified for his running
mate last night in these words:
Ladies and gentlemen, my
colleague In this political cam
paign has been subjected to a
very unfair and vicious attack.
$50 far as ! am concerned,
he has not only vindicated
himself but ! feel that he has
acted as man OF courage and
honor and, SO far as l am con-
cerned, stands higher than
ever before"
Nixon replied:
Il went before a great number
OF my fellow American and laid
before them a case, a case which
some of them I knew honestly mis-
understood, case which / felt it
was my obligation to present to
them, because it seems to me that
candidates for the presidency and
the vice presidency of the United
States. as Gen. Eisenhower says.
have got to be as clean as a
hounds TOOTH"
There was much more. But in
these few words the smiling Re-
publicans hoped they had wrapped
up satisfactorily one of the strang-
est cases in American political his
tory-talk of the possible custer
of vice presidential candidate
from national ticket.
The Democrats were not likely
to consider the matter closed, how
ever.
In the highest Republican cir
cles, there has been no doubt for
days that Nixon would be retained
on the ticket That verdict was
sealed when his national radio
television broadcast resulted in
Western Union offices being
swamped with kilograms in his
behalf.
Nevertheless, Eisenhower main
tanned the technical position that
he, alone, could not decide Nixon's
fate. Thus he could not announce
publicly that he was keeping his
running mate at his side.
He could only say that the ma
tional committee, clothed with the
final party power, had voted 107
to 0 to keep Nixon on. And Nixon
was on, no mistaking that Out of
this whole situation developed
series of scenes as in play.
Eisenhower saw Nixon's televi-
) sion broadcast. From Cleveland.
the presidential nominee summon
ed his running mate to Wheeling,
telling him in adavnce he was a
courageous man.
Nixon flew about LOO miles
, from Missoula, Mont, to land on
Wheeling's hilltop airport. Eisen-
hover, who had been waiting pa
tiently in a car, strode up the
plane ramp.
AS the general walked into the
big ship, he said:
That's my boy and the two
men half embraced, both with
, tears in their eyes.

Suburban residents are fortunate In
that usually they have roads. lanes and
long winding streets that invite to
meandering.
It is not much fun any longer to walk

Without Pay

General Eisenhowers request that he be
put on the Army's retired list without pay ordi-

It Is what one would expect him to do. He
might legally have continued to draw his pay
pending the action Of the Republican conven-
tion, but to have done 80 certainly would not
have been consistent with the spirit Of the appli-
cable Army regulations. He might have gotten
away with It on the theory that it wasn't Illegal
but General Eisenhower did not choose to
operate on that theory.

The trouble is that we have not been able to
complete an armistice, and there seems no like
hhood Of getting one any time soon.
So the real question is what would Senator
Taft do about Korea if we finally become con-
vinced that the Communists are not going to
agree to any armistice He did not answer that
question because he, like the rest of us, has no
answer. He is in the dilemma which enmeshes
all foreign policy critics whose solutions of prob
lens rest on wishful thinking instead Of stubborn

Critics Dilemma

Senator Taft's latest foreign policy address
may serve to promote his own political ambi-
tionS.
It has backfred in one respect He tried
rather OBVIOUSLY to impute to General Eisen-
hover some responsibility for our decline in
relative air strength, and the general has called
him on that. In the main, however, the speech
will appeal to those who are tired of the bur-
dens of the international role we have assumed,
who say that our policies have failed without
considering what the consequences Of the alter
natives might have been, and who would like
to believe that there is some cheap and easy
way to escape from the threat under which
we live.
But those who do not believe In the en-
cacy Of easy solutions who doubt that the
Taft formula would lead us to peace, security
and prosperity. win fnd support for their views
In one of the Senator's statements.
At the outset Of his talk, Senator Taft said
he had been asked what he would do about
Korea and that he proposed to answer. This,
OF course, Is the $64 question at the moment,
and here Is what Senator Taft would do:
At the present time would try to COM
plete an afmiStice in Korea, because our
weakness in the air is such that we could
not hope to resume successful war until

Old China Hands Mourn End Of Era
To the Editor of The Star:

EINAL withdrawal Of the British from
u China will leave many an old China
hand with feeling akin to watching
over an old and dear friend with long
and lingering illness from which you
knew all the time there was no hope
Of recovery. Nevertheless, his passing
is marked with deep sorrow and regret,
mostly because his passing marks the
end Of an era which We look back upon
with feeling Of deep nostalgia. AS long
as the British were hanging on there,
there was always faint hope that some
day there might be return Of the good
old days-tfe pre-Japanese days Of easy
and fabulous living for the American
and the European. No place on earth
offered so much for so little money. A
salary which even in the United States
during the piping days Of the gold
standard produced no more than a
mediocre way of life, out there in China
permitted man to live like q nabob
with ridiculously cheap food. clothing
and liquor and staff Of servants ready
to come running at the call Of "Boy!"
To understand somewhat Of the feel
ings which the British must have about
giving up their tenuouS holdings in
China, we should realize that to many
of them it was their home. Many Of
them were born and raised there and
their parents had been born there be-
fore them. It was not just q question
of giving up job and going home: this
was their home and leaving there was
like being exiled to foreign country to
try to take up life anew. To a limited
extent this may have been true of few
Americans, too. A great many of them
who went out there to take up jobs
would probably come back to their home
country on their first or second leave
and then never bother to come back
home after that. Aside from the loss of
revenue the reluctance Of the British to
give UP their last remaining hold in
China is quite understandable.
The word Communism" offers such q
ready explanation for all our troubles
these days that we don't bother to seek
any further explanation. There can be
no doubt that communism gave the coup
de grace to the British as well as to
other foreign interests there but there
was also plenty Of evidence right after
the war that the Chinese people them
selves were not going to tolerate q COM

This could be called nothing but city

A certain rhythm will naturally force

There Is no need at all of trying to

An End to Bickerinq

The Juvenile Court legislation Just enacted
by Congress should bring to an end the sporadic
Squabbling between the court and other official
agencies over confdentiality of the courts rec
ords. Congress, in passing clarifying amend
ment to the Juvenile Court Act, has made it plain
that there should be no iron curtain around the
records as far as the District Welfare Depart
ment, Police Department, probation and similar
agencies interested In child welfare are con-
cerned.
Judge Cockrill of the court apparently was
the only person who interpreted the basic law as
preventing her from releasing certain informa-
ton to District authorities properly entitled to
it. Her sudden ruling more than year ago re-
versed traditional policy under which welfare
and reinforcement agencies had been given
access to data needed in fighting juvenile delin-
quency and crime Several members of the court
stan quit in protest over the order. There was
storm Of opposition from welfare, police and other
quarters, as was to be expected.
To settle the controversy, the District Com
missioners sent to Congress bill to provide the
Judge with the authority which she insisted she
lacked in connection with release Of data to other
officials. The bill ultimately was amended In
accordance with Judge Cockrill's contention that
discretion should be vested in the court as to the
release of certain information. Congress agreed
that this was reasonable provision. Congress
also gave the judge discretionary authority to
admit to- court hearings persons whose interest
in juvenile problems might warrant their pres
ence in the courtroom even though they might
not be directly concerned with the case being
heard.
The new legislation paves the way for a more
Intelligent administration of the Juvenile Court
law-one that envisages an era of better CO.
operation between the court and other agencies,
organizations and individuals charged with
combating youthful lawlessness and the condi-
tons which give rise to it. There Is need for close
coordination in this field. There Is no room for
pickering and dissension of the sort that have
narred the courts operations in the recent past.
