There Are Children at White House Again
Young Eisenhowers Romp in Sunny Back Yard
Majors Children
Pose With Poise,
But Scotty Rebels
BY the Associated Press

Two cute youngsters and a
Scotty romped like crazy in the
big back yard of an old, but re-
furnished white mansion. The
Eisenhower grandchildren were
out to play in the warm sun
shine.
Like veteran troupers, four
year-old Dwight David Eisen-
hover II and three-year-old Bar
bara Ann grinned, Rugged each
other and rode tricycles madly
for the delighted benefit of a
dozen photographers and as
many reporters.
Young David, as they call him,
is a dead ringer for his grand
daddy-the square jaw, the mo-
bile face that switches from
stern concentration to an I-love-
everybody smile in the fraction
of a second.
Blonde Barbara Ann-her red
skirt swishing perkily over a
starched petticoat-looks much
like a younger edition of Mamie
Eisenhower.
The youngsters are visiting
the White House with their
mother. Their father, Maj. John
Eisenhower, is in Korea.
A little after 3 pm. yesterday
they burst from the south
portico and for 20 minutes their
antics were a photographers de-
light. While the shutters clicked,
Mrs. Eisenhower's secretary, Mrs.
Mary Jane McCafree, offered a
hesltant suggestion: Would the
cameramen make a picture of
the children's little sister Susan?
Would they!
So, blinking and curious, car
ried by a smiling Negro maid,
out came 15-month-old Susan
in a bright blue snow suit.
Only one member of the
household proved balky-Skunk-
lie, the children's Scottie. She
turned a disdainful tail on the
cameras and lit off in the gen.
eral direction of Pennsylvania
avenue. Young David took off
in hot pursuit, brought Skunkie
down with a football tackle.
He and Susan had been to the
Zoo during the week and a re-

ers in Prague. He was not only
president, but boss of the Com.
mun1st Party and commander
in-chief of both the army and
the secret police. No other
tunctionary in a Communist
satellite had as much power, al
least in name.
Russian Doctors Present.
Gottwald'S illness did not be-
come known to the world until
late yesterday when the Prague
radio announced it. Like the
Moscow radio in Stains illness,
it accompanied the announce
ment with solemn music and
frequent broadcasts of medical
bulletins signed by many doc
tors.
Some of the doctors were
Russians.
This morning, it was an
nounced that Gottwald had fall
en- into a coma. The regular
pm. news broadcast was de-
layed for an hour and IL min
utes, with the announcers appar-
emily standing by for the death
bulletin. Then the announce
ment that Gottwald had died at
II am. Is am. EST was read
to the listeners. There followed
a long account of his accomplish
mentS.
Speculation that Gottwald
might have been purged by
wrong medical treatments" was
heightened by reports here that
he had been in a poor political
position for more than a year
because of a fall-down in Czech
industrial production for Soviet
war needs.
Slansky Execution Recalled.
Last December, a staged trial
of IA high Czechoslovak Commu-
nistS was held. Among them were
II Jews. Rudolf Slansky, former
Ratchet man of the Gottwald
regime and a collaboration in the
1948 Communist coup, was the
chief defendant and was con-
victed and hanged with 10 9TH
ers.
It was assumed at the time
that Gottwald had won out in a
struggle for power with Slansky,
largely because of his support
from Stain, and had sacrificed
the Ratchet man as a scapegoat

Element Gottwald was born
November %, 1896, at Dedice in
Moravia. He came of peasant
stock like Stain who was his idol
and whom he resembled.
+ He was in Vienna during World
War I and was drafted into the
Austrian Army. He was fighting
on the Russian front when he
was wounded. Later he saw serv-
ice on the Italian front. When
he returned to Prague after for
nation of the Czech republic he
joined the newly formed Com
munist Party.
During World War II he was
in MoscoW-getting the training
for the job Of Transforming the
democratic government of Czech
oslovakia, originally patterned
after the United States, to the
puppet regime demanded by
GottWald's Moscow bosses.
He returned to Prague in 1945
to spearhead the drive to put the
Communists in the drivers seat.
On July 3, 1916, he became Pre-
mier and within three weeks he
had been called TO Moscow to be
received by Stain.
Did Fast Switch.
The United States came for
ward with the Marshall Plan to
help Europe get back on it's feet.
On the eve of a trip by Gott-
valid to MoscoW-on July 7, 1947
the Czechs said they would
participate in the United States
announced program. What Sta
lin said to Gottwald must have
been a sizzler. Four days later
the Czech government had an
nounced it had changed his mind
it wasn't taking part in any
Marshall aid program. This
followed the line of the Soviet
Union and her satellites.
The Communist seizure Of
power came in February, 1913.
President Eduard Benes COM
planned to Gottwald that you
talk to me like Hitler"
Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk,
son of Czechoslovak's first Pres
ldent, plunged out of a window
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-14

to make his own position more
secure.
But Czech industrial produc-
ton is reported no better.
If Gottwald were of a mind to
become a Tito" he was in a
good position to do so, and the
rulers of the Kremlin might
have feared him for that reason.
There are no Russian occupa-
ton troops in Czechoslovakia,
and Czech territory huddles UP
close to the American zone of
Germany.
GottWald was given a position
OF prominence on the Lenin tomb
at Stains funeral in Moscow
Monday, however. He returned
to Prague Wednesday,.
Other Satellite Mysteries.
Meanwhile, mysteries have de-
veloped over the health of two
other Red satellite leaders. Mat
vas RakoSi, No. l Communist of
Hungary and a Jew, has not
returned to his country from the
Moscow funeral, so far as is
known. Wilhelm PECK, n,
elder statesman of German COM
muniSm and president of the
East German republic. has been
reported seriously i'll since early
last week. He did not go to the
Stain funeral.
,Gottwald's death came Just a
day after the fifth anniversary
OF another funeral, that of For
elgn Minister Jan Masaryk, the
pro-Western son of the founder
OF the Czechoslovak republic.
Masaryk died mysteriously. He
either jumped or was pushed out
of a window.
His death left Benes alone
among Communists and their
dupes in the Prague govern
ment, and it was not long until
GottWald was the undiSputed
ruler of the nation.
Gcttwald patterned his life
after his idol, Stain. He ap-
piled the purge as ruthlessly in
Czechoslovakia as Stain did in
Russia. He was a dutiful servant
IN carrying out Russia'S dictates
to the Czech people-produce in
quantity for the greater glory
OF the Soviet Union or face the
consequences. He was a bitter
foe of the Roman Catholic
Church, whose adherents num-
Der nine out of his country's
13 million people.
1t was GottWald'S government
that brought William Oats, the
Associated Press correspondent,
to trial in 1851 on what the
Western world has denounced
as trumped-up charges of es-
plonage. Mr.. Oats was SEN
fenced to 10 years.

Referring to Revenue Bureau
scandals unearthed in the past
two years by Congressional in

1T is grievously clear to me
that the whole bureau is widely

unfaithfulness on the part of

that an abnormal portion of the

Douglas Says Wife
Wasn't a Communist
During Marriage
BY the Associated Press

House Red hunters had as
suranceS today from Senator
Douglas, Democrat. Of Illinois
that his first wife, Dorothy w.
Douglas, was not a member of
the Communist Party during
their marriage.
He issued a statement to that
effect after Mrs. Douglas refused
to tell the House Un-American
Activities Committee whether
she is now or ever was q member
of the Communist Party.
Called Deeply Religious.
The 63-year-old former Smith
College professor was separated
from her husband in 1927. The
Senator said he has known vir-
tually nothing about her &C
tivities since their divorce in 1880
and added:
This much I can Say-during
the years of our marriage she
was certainly not a Communist.
She was, on the contrary, deeply
religious, generous and high
minded. with a strong sense of
personal honor"
Mrs. Douglas and Byron T.
Darling, another witness at yes
terday'S session of the commit
tees characterization probe,
claimed the privilege of the Fifth
Amendment in refusing to an
Swer questions about Communist
Party membership or associa-
tons. This amendment says citi-
zenS need not testify against
themselves.
Mr.. Darling, Al, was suspended
shortly thereafter from his Job
as physicist at Ohio State Uni
versity.
Mrs. Douglas, now retired and
living at Northampton, Mass,
tried unsuccessfully to read
statement before she submitted
to questioning, but Chairman
Velde would not give his permis-
sion
Accuses Committee.
Later distributed to reporters,
the statement contained a
charge that the committees in
quiry into her political beliefs
"can result only in the suppress
sion of freedom of conscience
and of the mind"
She offered, however, to an
sWer all questions concerning
her activities while she was mar
ried to the Senator. She said
a refusal to do so would be mis-
construed and misinterpreted"
to the disadvantage of the Sen
ator.
The committee said it would
consider in closed session the
question of making the state
ment part of the hearing rec
ord.

in what many believe was an act
of suicide brought about by
dependency over the Commu-
mist coup. Gottwald, at the
funeral services, blamed the
West for pressures that brought
about Masaryk'S death.
With opposition out of the
way Gottwald plunged enthusi-
astically into turning Czecho-
slovakia into Communist state
after the Soviet pattern.
Foe of Catholic Church.
In a parliamentary election
in May, 1948, the Red regime
won as expected-but halt
million voters turned in blank
ballots in protest. The new
Parliament took Office on June
10, 1948, and four days later
GottWald was sworn in as Presi-
dent to succeed Benes. Death
came to Benes, "a, in September
Under GottWald's regime all
clergymen were made civil serv-
ants and the government was
given control of all church ap-
pointments, financial and ad-
ministrative affairs. All schools
were put under state control.
Clements Got AK.
In March, 1850, Waldo Gle
mentis got the ak as foreign
minister. Gottwald began to is
sue warnings to the Czech people
to be on guard against West
ern spies. Trials of alleged
Western spies became common
place. In February of 1851 it
was announced that Clements
was under arrest for trying to
line up Czechoslovakia with the
West.
In August, 1851, a drastic
purge of the entire Communist
Party leadership was announced.
GottWald said his enemies-and
they included Rudolf Slansky
and Clementis-were Titoists
planning his overthrow.
GottWald attended the Com
munist Party congress in Mos
COW in october, 1852, along
with other big guns of the Com
muniSt world.

; More MICS Bagged
with Radar Gunsight;;
Baker Quits Flying
By the Associated Press

SEOUL, Mar. 14.-Allied Sabre
jet pilots knocked down three
Communist MIG-15s today and
the Air Force announced that
the Korean wars top jet ace,
Col. Royal N. Baker, would fly no
more combat missions.
The Air Force said Sabre
pilots. utilizing a secret radar
gunsight, shot down three MICS,
probably destroyed two more,
and damaged two additional Red
jets.
A spokesman said Col. Baker
Of Mckinney, Texas, decided
himself not to fly any more. AS
commander of the 4th fighter
1nterceptor group, he had COM
pleted more than 1875 missions.
The usual number of combat
missions is 100.
Strike Near Manchuria.
The Air Force said it's fighter
bombers swept almost to the
Yalu River border of Manchuria
during the day and plastered
Communist supply and troop
facilities.
Fighter-bombers scored a field
day against Red rolling stock,
hitting Ct boxcars in one strike.
During the day, 80 boxcars were
destroyed or damaged.
Despite closing skies in the
afternoon, warplanes smacked
the Reds from the battleline
north. Four rail bridges were
claimed knocked out.
The Sabre pilots hit the MICS
in series of swirling fights as
high as $4,000 feet over MIG
alley. The battle swept to the
Yalu River as the Red pilots fled
for safety.
The swirling air battles and
fighter bomber strikes climaxed
the second straight day of
relentless allied blows on Red
Korea.
Ground Action Light.
B-29 Super Forts hammered a
big Red troop and supply center
in Northwest Korea just before
midnight. They roared to within
Is miles of the Manchurian bor-
der and dropped 100 tons of
high explosives on the build-up
area Is miles east of Sinuiju.
Last night and early today
United States B-26 Invader
bombers prowled over North Ko-
rean highways. Pilots claimed
at least IS Red trucks destroyed.
The B-26s caught a Red convoy
on one road and blocked it with
bombs. Then they swarmed down
and riddled the trucks with
bombs and machine-gun fire.
Ground action was extremely
light. Allied troops threw back
three small Communist probes
on the muddy central and east
ern fronts. But allied artillery
guns caught several big groups
OF Reds out in the open and
pasted them with shells.
Gunsight Is Secret.
Today's air battles were a con-
tlnuation of a series which
erupted yesterday when Sabres
downed at least six MICS.
A 5th Air Force spokesman
revealed that the Sabres have
been using a secret radar gun
sight. He implied the gunsight
has been in use a long time. ,
Col. Baker said he had used
the new radar device.
Presumably the gunsight auto
matically finds the target and
locks the Sabre's guns on it. The
Air Force and Marines both an
nounced last month their night
fighters have the same type
device.
