EISENHOWER H CANDIDATE
TIL NOMINATION Of General Dwight d. Eisenhower
as candidate for President Of the United States IS a serious bid
to place the Republican Party back in contention as a factor
in American politics. The General is really the choice of the
younger, more progressive elements Of the Republican Party
which believe that in order to return to real contention the
candidate must be one that can attract votes from all sides
The opportunities riding with General Eisenhower are in
fnitely greater than could have been possible with Senator
Taft recognized as a dyed IN the wooIo old guard which means
conservatism and isolationism at its best.
GENERAL EISENHOWER, it is felt BY many. is the
man who can best keep the party intact. On foreign policy
he is naturally in favor Of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton, and a more global policy. Contrary to Senator Taft, the
General does not believe that air power is enough in and Of
itself to contain communism. In this respect General Essen
hover IS not too far removed from the policy Of the Truman
administration, and more than likely the continued Demo
cratic policy.
ONTHE OTHER hand the General took cover when
faced with the Civil Rights issue, much to the concern Of
minority groups and liberal leaders. Civil Rights can no longer
be minor issue to be shlmted and brushed aside, or dismissed
BY declaring that the matter be relegated TO the individual
states. The democratic process IS beginning to sag under the
weight Of world opinion as sharp lines can no longer be adj
hered to as equality Of mankind becomes more and more
important.

Even when he was not busy with official
business, General Hume did not rest. The list
of his publications reached approximately four
hundred titles. He wrote histories. biographies,
chronicles of science and sociology, critical and
philosophical articles of wide range and pro-

State to date.
It is my opinion that it would give
the Governor and the Director of the

seems probable that it would give these

Winston Churchill is ex-
pected to report to Commons any day
now on the accomplishments of his visit
TO washington.
AT least half Of the British nation
the half that voted for Churchill lis
pleased that it was a successful mission.
that it cleared the air and improved
Anglo American relations. The other
half by the Socialist opposition-is
apparently getting set for full-scale
attack.
The critical fusillade is expected to be
double barreled: Was this journey really
necessary? What did Churchill get that
Attlee didn't get on his visit to WASH
ington year ago? What agreements
did Churchill make with Truman that
he should not have made? Did he give
America blank check to extend the
Far Eastern war against China proper?
Cfurchill's Conservatives have enough
votes to spare in Parliament so they
can weather any attack successfully.
But while Churchill will make no apollo
gies to the Socialists. he win have to
do some explaining on his own side.
This concerns his invitation in his
speech before Congress for America and
other interested powers to send token
troops to join the British In the Suez
Canal zone, now the scene of fighting
between the British and the Egyptians.
Insiders here say frankly: I'VE don't
feel Winston was very smart" Aside
from the fact that America, taking a
dim view of the idea, is in no mood to-
send troops to the canal zone. Britain
could not accept them even if they were
offered. 1t would violate Britain's agree
ment with Egypt.
They say this was Winston yielding
to temptation to be not only prime
minister and defense minister but his
own foreign secretary as well-as IN the
old days when he and Roosevelt used
to get together and take decisions on
their own.
Anthony Eden is too loyal a foreign
secretary to admit it, but insiders say
he did not know Churchill was going to
bring this proposal up. He had already
returned to Britain and had not been
told or consulted about 1t.

Shepherds Hotel

A line well down in the Associated Press
story out of strife-torn Cairo that "the walls OF
Shepherds Hotel finally caved in yesterday"
may have imposed more of nostalgia sadness
upon many non Egyptian than any other word
from the troubled city by the Nile.
For generations past Shepherds has been
the gateway to the noisy wonders of the Near
East. In its clamoring dragomen, who almost
literally hauled tourists out of taxis and its air
conditioned public rooms with. their Oriental
decor there was very special atmosphere
about the old hotel that Is not exactly matched
elsewhere in the world. It was there that
western comforts were made available in an
Eastern fashion and few we're the travellers
through the crossroads of the world who did
not partake of its hospitality. Those who had
time to prowl, and only the undiscriminating
failed to take time. invariably paid visit to its
luggage room where the personal gear of many
a great soldier, more than few statesmen and
innumerable ordinarily absent minded travellers
has remained carefully labeled for years. 1t
seemed quite normal to Shepherds manage
ment to expect that all OF the owners would
come back eventually land most of them have
done so many times.
1t could be reasoned that Shepherds was
an out-dated monument to another age but
there are not many who have visited there who
will accept any such unflattering evaluation. 1t
is sad and disturbing to think Of it falling prey
to mob arson; Cairo yin not be the same with
out it.

DR.. Drees' Counsel

The University of Maryland has honored
one of Western Europe'S most StalWart cham
pions of decency and freedom in comforting the
degree of doctor of laws on Willem Drees, Prime
Minister of the Netherlands The Communists
are said to be enraged more by him than by
any other Dutch personality. That is not hard
to understand. After ALL he has been, and still
is, an outstanding leader of the fight against
them-against their reasonable activities, their
perversion of the truth, their war against peace,
their callous exploitation of human misery, their
ceaseless effort to promote the Soviet slave sys-
tenn and everything else that characterizes their
monstrous devotion to totalitarianism.
DR.. Drees has been waging this kind of
battle for a long time. During the Second
World War, after the Nazis had overrun Holland
and imprisoned him for year, he fought Hitlers
totalitarianism exceedingly well as a key figure
in the underground of free men. Then, after
We day. partly as result of his distinguished
service in co-ordinating resistance groups
against the occupier's tyranny, he was brought
into the government of his liberated land as
Minister of Social Affairs. And in that post,
with vigor and vision, he successfully pressed
for welfare legislation aimed at strengthening
the democratic way of life against those who
would destroy it. Further, since becoming Prime
Minister in 1948, he has been untiring in his
effort to bring the 1uH weight OF the NetLeFidAus
to bear, through the Atlantic Pact and other
wise, In the common Western defense against
the threat of Red aggression and enslavement.
But DR.. 4Drees does not believe merely In
armed defense As he has said in his excellent
address at the University of Maryland, COM
munist totalitarianism must be fought vigor-
ously with economic and social measures as well,
especially with technical assistance OF kind
designed to raise the living standards OF the
worlds FESTIVE underdeveloped areas And his
own country, as he has pointed out, is particu-
larly well equipped-in terms OF advanced tech
niques, overseas experience and highly Skilled
personnel-to Join the United States and other
western nations in extending such assistance
to fortify freedom everywhere. This is good
and timely counsel that he has left behind MN
after his brief and informal visit among US.
