Gen. Eisenhower fatty refused
to answer personality questions
and said he did not aim to make
personal attacks during his cam
paign.
He had been asked whether he
would favor reelection of Senator
Mccarthy, Republican of Wis
consin. To this he replied it was
in the category of personal ques-
tions.
Would Rout Out Subversives.
He said, however, that he be-
lieved firmly in roofing out Of the
Government all Communists and
subversives. He said he believed it
could be done with the present
agencies of Government and With
out running other mems reputa-
tionS."
Gen. Eisenhower declared he
was against "socialized medicine. "
He was replying to a question by
this reporter whether he favored
compulsory health insurance-as
provided in the Truman program.
He said the term covered a wide
ground: that he believed that the
cost of medical treatment had
gone very high; that Americans
should have medical treatment,
and that plans should be worked
out to see they should have it.
Il am. however. against social
ized medicine" he said.
At one point a reporter asked
the general if he preferred to be
called general" or Mister Eisen-
hover"
II am still a general" he re-
piled with wide smile. 'but I'd be
delighted if you would like to call
me mister"
Answers Bring Applause.
Frequently the general was ap-
plauded by the newspaper group
as he manned out his replies to
searching questions.
do you favor federal compul-
sorry FEPC." the general was
asked.
Gen. Eisenhower declared his
unalterable support of fairness in
employment to all Americans. He
said he believed the Federal Gov
ernment should do all In its power
to see that this happened. 1
"I do not believe. however" he
continued ''it can be cured by
law" He added he believed q
great deal could be done to bring
about fairness by persuasion. and
that it should be possible to gel

Gen. Eisenhower was asked
whether, if the Korean war was
continued, he would favor bomb

mainland.
He replied that it was hard to
decide tactical military problems,
which should be determined on the
spot, at such a great distance,
He added, however, "I'm going to
do everything possible to win"
He was asked If he were striking
at the Wage Sterilization Board
and the Wagner and Taft-Hartley
laws when he opposed punitive
laws in his speech yesterday.
He said he was not thinking of
the Sterilization Board, when he
spoke, nor was he ready to COM

The easiest thing about brick
laying is laying the brick; what
really is tough is spreading the
mortar.
And while the mortar is spread
with a trowel, the most impor-
tant thing is your wrist. It's
all done with the wrist, say the
experts.
The bricklaying business broke
into the headlines the other day
when Willis Warren Blush, 49,
yeaf-old former Anacostia High
School student, received $500
for winning second place in a
national competition sponsored
by the international bricklayers'
union. He lives at 304 Thirty
seventh place Sc.
Yesterday young Mr.. Blush
and some of his friends In the
bricklaying business explained
q few of the fundamentals of
how to lay brick.
IF the mortar is spread the
way it should be-level and in
the right amount-the brick
almost lays ITSELF" said Willis.
"It looks easy, but it takes
time to learn" he said. You

can explain some things about
it, but other things you just
have to learn by experience.
Once you get a few funda-
mentals, you can go on from
there.
First step in laying brick is
to pick up mortar on your
trowel and spread it. "a trowel
of mortar will provide a bed
for about five bricks.)
Then put a furrow down the
middle of the mortar with the
point of your trowel. Pick up a
brick and place it on the bed of
mortar, cutting off any mortar
which ooZes out.
Then pick up another brick
and butter one end with mortar.
(That is known as throwing on
a head jointly
Lay this brick on the mortar
bed, squeezing the buttered end
against the first brick you've
laid.
From that point on. it's a
matter of largely repeating the
same operation all along the
wall. The same operation. that
is, if you're laying brick accord
ing to the common-bond pat
tern. If Flemish, English or
some other bond is specified,

you've got something to show
for what you've DONE" he ex-
planned.

Washington chapter headquar-

things are a bit more compli-
Gated.
Actually, of course, the brick
layers job is much more COM
plicated, all around, than it
seems. A bricklayer has a fund
of knowledge about the build
ing business that only expert
ence in many types of construc-
ton can provide.
The work. besides, can be
physically grueling. A man lay
ing 12-by-8-by-16-inch cinder
block, for example, knows he
has put in a hard days work
when the day is over. One such
block alone weighs more than

be lifted to the wall. buttered
with mortar and set properly in
place.
In wintertime, too. the job
is rough. If you work on a wall
in the open with a frigid wind
bowling, it's not easy to keep
warm. And after a rain, han

danger.
II don't know why" he said,
"but I keep coming up against
concrete beams and hitting my
head" He also said he keeps
cutting his hands with the brick
hammer.
But Willis loves the work.

AS with all bricklayers, Willis
has developed a rhythm of work
as he has progressed in the
trade. The idea is never to make
a wasted move. For example,

The job can be dangerous,
too. Scaffolds have been known
to break. Bricks and other dan
gerous objects can fall on you
from above. And you are sub
ject to the usual other hazards
OF construction work.

TOKYO, Feb. 11.-Maj. George
A. Davis, jr., Americas greatest
jet ace, was shot down over
Korea's MIG Alley and presum-
ably killed yesterday after shoot
ing down two more Communist
MIG 15s in his last air battle.
Far East Air Forces announced
today.
Maj. Davis had a total record
of 81 planes shot doWn-11 MICS
and three Communist light
bombers in Korea-and seven
Japanese planes in World War II.
Although there was little doubt
that the 31-year-old jet ace from
Lubbock, Tex, was dead, Air
Force officials reported him as
missing in action. His wife and
two children live in Lubbock.
Maj. Davis plane was seen to
crash after being hit and no para
chute was seen in the air or on
the ground, the Air Force said.
He also made all his previous
Korean kills in pairs or fours.
Maj. Davis and his wingman,
1t. William w. Littfield of Louis
will, KY, spotted flight of MICS
about 8 am. yesterday and broke
away from the rest of the squad
ron. Maj. Davis had just COM
pleted firing a pass with 1t. Lit
tlefield through a flight of 10
MICS when enemy fire struck his
Sabre jet. Apparently he was u11-
able to regain control.
Mai. Davis became Ameria'S
fifth jet ace of the Korean war
November 80, when he bagged
three TU-2 propeller driven
bombers and one MIG jet in a
big air battle south of the. Yalu
River mouth.
Just IA days later, on December
Is, he became the ace OF aces
in Korea when he shot down four
MICS in two blazing battles to
boost his total kill to nine MICS
and three Red bombers in Is days.
He held every combat record
made by a jet pilot-the most
kills of all types Of planes, the
most MICS destroyed and the

Treasury and House
Tax Probers at Odds =
On Scandals Inquiry
Earlier Date on New York
Jury Session Moy Cut
Short Coast Hearings
By Cecil Holland
Stoy S4oEf Corrasnondenf

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. ia
sharp disagreement has developed
between House investigators and
the Treasury Department over a
projected Federal grand jury in
quiry into politically explosive tax
scandals in the New York area, it
was learned here today.
The disagreement was reported
to have reached such proportions
that the House Ways and Means
Subcommittee has discussed the
possibility of cutting short the
scope of it's present West Coast
inquiry to return to Washington
and hold public hearings on the
New York situation.
Chairman King, Democrat. OF
California, brought the subconl-
mittee here a week ago to begin
a series of public hearings into
conditions in the San Francisco
collectors Office and other mat
terS.
Word of Probe Arrives.
The hearings were barely under
way when the subcommittee re-
ceived information that Attorney
General McGratl1 had ordered the
convening of a Federal grand jury
in Brooklyn to investigate tax
scandals starting February ID.
According to information received
here, subpoenas had been directed
for revenue agents who have been
working closely with the King
subcommittee in the New York
area.
The subcommittee contends II
had a specific agreement with the
Treasury Department and the
Bureau of Internal Revenue to
delay such action until its own
investigation in the New YorR
area had been completed.
Whether there was any public
announcement that the Brooklyn
grand Jury was being convened tc
look into tax matters is not known
here. The attorney generals ac-
ton apparently caught Represen-
ltative King and other subcom-
mittee members completely By
surprise.
A series Of long-distance tele'
phone calls to the Justice ant
Treasury Departments and to thu
Revenue Bureau failed to brini
about any agreement or under
standing on the New York in
quiry.

For that reason, the subcom
