Lowell MeNett::
Ike Must Do What He Does Best
A 0reot ask of Cancellation Within His Own Party
Foces Him but He Hasn't Much Time in Which to Opero

The Republican Party now has
a ticket. How good a ticket it is
we will know by November. For
President it has named a man
with q high heart and, by every
indication. high purpose. He is
a man wholly inexperienced in
politics. which is the art of gov
ernment. yet a man OF quick
intelligence and possibly capable
Of absorbing as much as he may
need to know in order to be a
successful candidate and a good
President.
He is a man, in any case, Of
swift decision. From one such
decision the party got his run
ming mate, the candidate for
Vice President. Some one sold
him the idea that. in case he
should drop dead from oyerwork
or other cause, the destiny of
our great republic and the well
fare Of the American people-to
say nothing Of the rest Of the
world whose welfare is bound up
with that of America-could
safely be entrusted to q brash,
untried, young man from Cali
fornia. This is no great reflec-
tjon on the presidential candi-
date. Many vice presidential
candidates have been selected on
the theory that Presidents never
die.
In the situation following his
own nomination, Gen. Eisen-
hover could have named any
body he chose for his running
mate. but he knew little of the
various persons suggested to
him. What was offered in be-

Young Turks Return

Leaders OF the DlSCr1ct'S young
Turk" Observation-Disclosures
Club were on the way back from
Chicago today. prepared to re-
double their activities now that
they find themselves in on the
ground floor with their man.
Robert E. Mclaughlin, president
of the club. is expected to get back
late today. Club members said the
local group then will map out
strategy for future operations.
A little local fence-mending also
was in order in District Republic
can circles.
Club To Be Very Active.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, by telephone
from Chicago. said the Eisen-
hover club was going to be ex-
tremely active in the campaign.
He said one Of the first things
the Eisenhower supporters here
would do is try to promote har-
mony in the local Republican
Tanks. After that, he added, the
local Republicans would move on
to support the G. o. p. ticket of
Eisenhower and Nixon in every
way possible.
The six delegates to the Repub-
liean National Convention, headed
by State Chairman Joseph A. Nc
Garraghy, supported Senator Taft.
They stuck to their man for the
first ballot but shifted to Gen.
Eisenhower later in the scramble
to get aboard the bandwagon.
The McGarraghy faction had
routed the local Eisenhower sup
portegs in the pre-convention
primaries.
Headquarters Is Packed.
At the Eisenhower-for-President
Club at 808 Seventeenth street
NV. yesterday. cheering throngs
jammed in while additional Eisen-
hover supporters gathered three
deep on the sidewalk.
The TV set in the one-room,
sub-basement headquarters was
Swamped by viewers. The cheer
ing when the good word came
through could be heard a block
away.
Meanwhile. crowds collected on
the sidewalk to listen to the re-
ports blasted from the television
set turned up to full volume. The
first outburst was renewed when
Ike appeared on the screen about
an hour after his victory was
clinched.

Calls jam Phone Lines.


The Silver Spring Office Of the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. reported service blacked out
for about a minute after the an
nouncement was made. Company
officials said the reason was that
many people ran to their phones
to call family and friends to tell
them the news.
The same condition occurred in
nearby Virginia. For a minute
or two. it was impossible to get a
dial phone to make call.
Soma of the Washington ex-

 At one point North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Sang Cho became so angry Libby interrupted to ask him to stop screaming.
 Highly-placed sources in Wash ington said there were indications Russia is so determined to serve as a neutral inspector that it may wreck the truce talks.
 These sources said the U. S. never would accept the Soviet Union as neutral, but might go back to the original Allied pro- posal to supervise a truce by a joint commission of belligerents. They pointed out that if Russia was willing to acknowledge that it was belligerent it then could legally help police truce.

French Airliner Crash Kills 37

NICE, France, (P) - An Air France airliner crashed in an olive grove near this Riviera fun spot Monday, killing 37 persons, in cluding an American ballet danc- CT and two French actresses.
 A woman taken alive from the wreckage was reported in criti- cal condition.
 The four-engine plane had just taken off from Nice airport. In stead of heading out as usual over the Mediterranean on the flight to Paris, the plane turned back. It lost altitude, then smash ed into bits in the olive grove, just missing a group of houses where 20 families live.
 Airport employees said pieces of sea gull's wings and feathers had been found in the air intakes of the planes engines, and this might have caused the crash. Air France officials in Paris could not con- firm this. The two left engines had apparently failed.
 The American ballet dancer was Brooklyn-born Joan Harriet Katz- man, 9, who danced under the name of Harriet Toby with the Marquis de Cuevas Company. She appeared Sunday night at Cannes in a ballet called 'fDel Amor y de la Muerte" (Of Love and Death).

Motion Expected To Revive Alaska Statehood Bill

WASHINGTON, (R-A move to revive the Alaska statehood bill for debate was expected in the Senate Monday.
 Meanwhile, advocates of state hood for Hawaii hoped for a show of strength to determine if their bill will be brought to the floor for consideration or be side tracked.
 Sen. Smith R-ND was expected to move to reconsider the Sen ate's 45-44 vote that sent the Alaska bill back to committee Wednesday. Sen. O'Mahoney O. Wyo), floor manager for the bill, said Saturday Smith would make such motion today, the last day in which it could be made under Senate rules.
 Smith was among seven senat- ors not officially recorded in the recommittal vote in which Demo- crats split 25-24 and Republicans 20-20.
 A move for reconsideration would not assure a quick decision since Senators could debate it at length until both sides are ready for another showdown.

Papers Hint Queen May Be Expecting Third Child

LONDON, (P) - Two London newspapers have hinted tn at Queen Elizabeth II may be ex- pecting her third child.
 By suggesting on inside pages that a royal birth may be the reason for putting off the coro- nation until next summer, the Sunday Pictorial ard Sunday Ex- press went about as far as they could without shattering custom ary discretion in such matters.
 No one was so blunt as to say the queen was pregnant.
 The Pictorial said "rumors of a sentimental nature" have sprung from a recent visit by Sir William Gilliatt, the famous gynecologist, to the queens residence, Clarence House.
 The Express suggested that the queen would retire from public events after July.
 Buckingham Palace maintained its usual dignified silence on the runners. Past palace announce ments did not come until four months before Elizabeth's babies were expected.

U. s. C of C
 Proposes "Starve'' COnnunist Party

WASHINGTON, (P) - Tn e Chamber of Commerce of the United States says the best way to kill the Communist party in this country is to "starve" it to death financially and cut off its sources of power.
 It said this could be done by refusing Communists jobs in vir- tually all branches of industry, and choking off prestige, power and high salaries by freezing them out of the entertainment, news paper, radio and similar fields.
 The Chamber also sharply ,criti- cized US. foreign policy in a re- port prepared by it's committee on Communism, released Sunday.
 "It would not be too hard, if we all worked at it, to starve it (the Communist party) financially and leave it disorganized group of powerless fanatics" the report said.
 If every source of funds and power were systematically cut off, the party would be weakened to the point of extinction"
 Pointing out that it is public policy not to hire Communists for government jobs, it said private business should follow similar policy and not employ Commun- ists "and the various fringes of fellow travellers and dupes."

Possibility That House of Representatives May Elect Next President

WASHINGTON, (P) = Sen. Ellender of Louisiana said:
 "There is definite possibility that the next President will be elected by the House of Repre- sentativeS."
 Under the Constitution, if no candidate for the presidency gets majority of the 531 Electoral College votes, then the House elects them. Each state has one vote in this case.
 Ellender said a contest between Truman and Taft might find nei- ther able to gain the necessary 266 electoral college votes, if a third candidate won most of the southern states. The Louisiana senator said he thinks Senator Russell of Georgia could carry at least nine Southern states and perhaps more.

Speak Tuesday At Dream Theater
 Bob Reeve, Republican candi- d a te for the office of delegate from Alaska, arrived yesterday on his first official campaign tour.
 He has already given speeches in Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Anchorage and Sitka. His present tour includes Cordova, Nenana, Barrow and Wainwright.
 MT. Reeve, who is scheduled to speak to the public tomorrow evening at the Dream Theater at 9:30 following a banquet at the Boring Sea Club, stated that he will discuss the national defense policy that led to the withdrawal of troops from Nome in 1850 and his active part in the protest against this action.
 He is also planning to explain to the people of Nome the dangers of the proposed Japanese treaty and how 1t affects the fishing in Bering Sea, the Arctic coast and the Aleutian area. He stated he was seriously concerned over the fishing industry and that the Jap anese peace treaty does not carry one specific provision to protect the fisheries in this area.
 ''I'll do everything l can to get the Eskimo people out of bondage to the Interior Department" he stated, "as I find they are the best workers I have in Anchor age"
 When questioned on statehood, MT. Reeve stated, 'I am for state hood 10O9o and am one of the strongest packers, but I feel that the present bill is inadequate. When we get statehood we want it with all it's natural resources. 1t has been so indicated by Re- publican leaders in the Senate, that statehood can be had as these same people now against it, will be for the measure in its proper setting.
 Given these resources with which Alaska is endowed, it's fu- ture is in the making as the Wealthiest state in the union bar none.
 Bartlett and Gruening want the bill for selfish gain, as they seek to be US. senators, regard less of the expense and heartache they cause the Alaskan people. They are aided by the New Deal administration because statehood for Alaska and Hawaii will give them four added senators and rep resentatives to accomplish their aims for more power.
 "It's about time for territorial administration officials to stop being so emotional and frustrated about the failure of the passage of the present statehood bill and devote more time to the actual needs of the people of the terri tory, such as roads, and protect ing us on the fishing treaty, for example,"
