WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Oct.
pair Force Secretary Talbot
says the Nations radar defense
screen may be valueless because
methods are available for ap-
preaching aircraft to block it out
completely.
He declared in a letter to c. r.
Huebner, New York State civil
defense director, that it might be
necessary to rely entirely on
ground observers to identify ap-
preaching aircraft.
Mr.. Huebner sent a copy of
the letter to the regional civil
defense Office here to stress the
need Of developing the ground
observer corps.
Mr.. Talbot's letter said, in part:
1--WE now know that it is en-
tirely possible for radar screen
to be blocked out completely by
approaching airplanes.
"If that situation arises, the
ground observers might well be
the only means of identifying ap-
preaching aircraft. Measures to
prevent a situation of this nature
from happening are a matter OF

Such is the plight of thou
sands of bears, caught without
berries in an unreasonable warm
spell from Manitoba to Quebec.
They are on the rampage in
search of food, smashing in walls,
windows and doors of boarded
up summer cottages and invading
towns and cities.
Wildlife officials say the bears
will not hibernate because of the

have scared as high as 70 degrees
in some districts.

of Congress who didn't share his
views on national issues.
While none of the handful Of
lawmakers here would comment
publicly, there apparently are
many Republicans who don't
share Senator Mundt's view that
presidential tub b-thumping is no
help to individual candidates.
Aid for Ferguson Sought.
Michigan G. o. P. leaders have
sought and thus far failed to
get Gen. Eisenhower's promise
to do some campaigning in their
State next year in behalf Of
Senator Ferguson, Republican, Of
Michigan, chairman OF the Sen
ate Republican Policy Commit
tee.
Senator Ferguson may have a
tough reelection battle on his
hands if Democratic Gov. G.
Mennen Williams decides to run
for the Senate. Outnumbered by
the Democrats, 48-47, the Re-
publicans can i'll afford the loss
of any Senate seats.
Gen. Eisenhower also has
turned down appeals. for inter-
vention in behalf of Republican
Paul j. Troast in the latter'S
current race for governor in New
Jersey. Apparently neither Mr..
Troast nor Republican George
F. Hetfield, running in a special
9th District congressional elec-
tion in New Jersey, can expect
direct White House help.
Refuses to Act In Virginia.
Gen. Eisenhower said specif-
ically he won't lend a helping
hand to Virginia Republicans
who are trying to elect State
Senator Ted Dalton as governor
and had hoped for some aid
from the President, who carried
the normally Democratic State
by 10000 votes last year.
COP candidates who want to
cash in on what they regard
as Gen. Eisenhower'S popularity
are likely to keep on trying to
get him actively into next years
campaign.
Gen. Eisenhower's defense of
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
seemed to leave some prospee-
tive COP congressional candi-
dates cold. One of the Presi-
dents Oldest friends on Capitol
Hill, who didn't want to be
quoted by name, said in an
interview he thinks Mr.. Benson
eventually will have to go be-

President Eisenhower is likely
to face mounting pressure from
Republican Office holders to
abandon his hands-of approach
in favor of direct activity in next
years campaign for control of
Congress.
In a sharp departure from the
policies of his immediate prede-
ceSSors, Gen. Eisenhower told a
news conference yesterday he
does not intend to make the
presidency an agency for use in
partisan elections.
Instead, he said he hopes to
develop an enlightened and pro-
gressive program which will
serve as a real umbrella under
which his party's candidates can
operate.

South Dakoa, who is running

DeraiIed by Land Mines

TEL AVN, Israel, Oct. 22.-An
Israeli freight train was derailed
last night near the Jordan bor-
der by land mines laid on the
tracks, police said today. There
were no casualties.
The train consisted of So
empty fuel tank cars, of which
13 and the locomotive were dam

was on its way from LYDIA to
Haifa and ran over the mines
near Tulkarm in the so-called
little triangle near the Israeli
Jordan border.
Half an hour earlier, a train
carrying fuel passed on it's way
from Haifa to LYDIA and police
expressed belief the mines were
intended for the loaded train.
Israeli officials called the in
cident "the latest Jordan act Of
terror" and protested to the

point where it is practically alb
sorbed by the Marine Corps.
The compelling argument in
favor of this plan is the very
great difference in cost of main
tanning foreign divisions COM
pared to American divisions.
The figures are persuasive.
An American division costs
$500 million to maintain for a
year on a time basis. Eu-
ropean divisions of comparable
f1repower cost between $65 and
$50 million. Lighter units such
as those of Greece and Turkey
can be kept up for $40 to $40
million a year. The figure for
Nationalist Chinese and South
Korean divisions is even lower.
The new plan does not rep
resent, informants say, an effort
to cut corners on American de-
fense spending. 1t is rather a
method of using the available
resources to buy the maximum
amount of military strength.
Change Will Be Slow.
It is recognized, at the same
time, that withdrawal of Amer
ican troops in Europe is touchy
subject to our allies. For this
reason, it is expected that at
least some ground force will be
maintained in Europe for some
years. 1t is further expected
that no substantial number will
be withdrawn at the expense
of overall European ground
strength. In other words. the
move would probably have to
await the creation of new West
German divisions within the
framework of the European De-
fense Community.
American strategists are par
ticularly anxious to avoid Gre
ating the impression that the
United States is backing out of
its military commitment to
Europe, or has any thought of
asking others to bear the brunt
of fighting in the east-west
struggle. The Importance of
air-power and special weapons
and the vulnerability of the
home front in any all-out future
war are arguments that can be
used to counter such charges.
Above all, as the planners see
it. the important thing that
holds the free world coalition to-
gether is faith that combined
strength is the best preventive
for war and faith that, if war
does come, it can be won.
The odds on both would be
improved, it is thought, by the
new military role that is being
worked out for the United States.

Letter; Eggers to
Support 6. 0. P.
o.. Gn,1l l:--I.
Siar Stoff Correspondent

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 22.-New
Jersey Republicans, encouraged
by new faith in the political for
tunes of their gubernatorial can
didate, Paul L. TroaSt, today set
tied into their stretch drive for
victory at the polls November 3.
The encouraging developments
are:
l. A "fair-play" appeal made
by Mr.. Troast last night on the
Fay letter issue.
2. The formal announcement
Of Frank Hague Eggers, head of
the old Hague Democratic fac
tion in Hudson. County. that he
was leaving. the Democratic
Party temporarily" to support
Mr.. Troast.
Similar to Nixon Appeal.
Mr.. Troast has been lambasted
by the Democrats and some Re-
publicanS because he wrote a
letter in January, 1851. to Gov.
Dewey Of New York, asking for
the parole of Joseph S. Fay, now
serving time as a labor racketeer
and eXtortionist. He took to
radio and television last night
in defense Of his action. He did
a job reminiscent of the appeal
to the American people made
by Vice President Nixon last
summer. after it was published
that Mr.. Nixon had been the
beneficiary of a fund raised by
California businessmen to help
defray office and publicity ex-
penseS while he was Senator.
Mr.. Nixon, fighting to retain
his nomination for Vice Presi-
dent and for his future political
life, pulled out all the stops.
Mr.. Troast did about the same.
On the television stage with
him were Mrs. Troast and their
children. He related all the
facts" regarding his letter to
Gov. Dewe. which he said he
had been asked by labor leaders
to write in the interest of a pa
role for Fay.
Denies Money Transaction.
Speaking with great earnest
ness, the Republican guberna-
torial candidate, told his audi
ence Of his own personal deal
ings with Fay, a vice president
OF the International Union of
Operating Engineers, to whom
he had gone for help in settling
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and juris-
dictional disputes. No money.
he said, had ever been asked
by Fay for these services, and he
had never paid Fay a cent. He
added he had never seen or
communicated with Fay after
the latter had been convicted
and sent t.. jail.
Mr.. Troast described the
struggle he had to build his own
construction firm, the Mahoney-
Troast Co., from a small begin
ming to one of the largest firms
in the country. Declaring his
personal concern always had
been for people" he listed his
many civic and charitable ac-
tivities.
1t was only his feeling for
people" he said, that had led
him to write the Fay letter, after
Fay had served more than four
years of his Jail sentence and
was eligible for parole. The let
ter, he pointed out, he wrote as
