Editorial Writers
Discuss Charges Of
Bowing Down 10 Ike
by the Associated Press

ASEEVILLE. N. c.. Oct. T.
The Nations editorial writer's,
gathering here for four days of
self-criticism, considered charges
today that some Of them ''pow
down to the mecca" Of the Eisen-
hover administration.
The criticism came last night
from DR.. Curtis D. MacDougall,
journalism professor at North
western University. who de-
scribed himself as IAN unrecon-
structed New Dealer
DR.. MacDougall was one of
four professors conducting q
consumer critique of the Amer
lean editorial page at the OPEN
ing session of the eight annual
National Conference of Editorial
Writers. Each reported on
groups of newspapers that were
submitted for study and criti-
ciSm.
Hits "Ike Likes It" View.
DR.. MacDougall declared that
too many editorial writer's in the
group of papers he studied find
the answer to an argument in
the fact that like is for 1t (and
-. you bow down to mecca"
DR.. James L. Godfrey, pro-
fessor of English history at the
University of North Carolina,
told the group editorials on the
83d Congress were "very similar
to news stories item by item
stuff with no attempt to
evaluate."
DR.. MacDougall. touching on
the same theme, said he found
the general tone of evaluation of
congressional action was, "Ike
wanted it. Ike got it. Good! Ike
wanted it. Ike didn't get it, Aw-
full"
Too Much Self Pity.
The editors. who tomorrow
will turn their attention to the
South's economic. political and
racial problems, were told some
Southern newspapers reflect "a
little too much self-pity for the
South" instead of regional lead
ership. This assertion came from
A. Gayle Waldrop, director of
the University Of Colorado's
College of Journalism, who is q
native Of Texas.
Dean Norval Neil Luxon of the
University of North Carolina S
Journalism School said some edi-
torials he examined on the Su-
preme Courts segregation deci-
sion indicated no advance
thought, although it was known
a decision was forthcoming.
DR.. Godfrey asserted the
courts action was not only a de-
cision. but IAN impact on insti-
tutions of everyday life" He
said newspapers have failed to
consider that the decision may
lead to the growth of private
schools and of economic segre-
cation.
Donovan Richardson of the
Christian Science Monitor, who
was in charge of the panel, said
the editorial writer's often know
they are not selling their ideas
to the public very well. This
panel will tell us why"

Fort BeIvoiir's S Floating


A T NEARBY Fort Belvoir, the 79th
IA Engineer Construction Group Of
the Army Is training with a revolu-
tionary dock-one that can be towed
thousands of miles and set up In q
few days.
In the invasion of Normandy in
World War II, floating docks were
used. The rough water bounced the
structures, making unloading dif1cult.
They were too low in the water for
large ships.
Military forces in the past have had
to use these floating docks or do with
out until a permanent construction
could be erected. An ordinary pier
takes six months to year to put up.
These problems have been solved
with the new DeLong Pier. An in
structional program Is now under way
at Fort Belvoir'S Tompkins Basin for
the training Of a group Of engineer
port construction personnel In the use
of the new dock.
Built in Texas, the piers are ready
to be towed by seagoing tugs to all
parts of the world. The docks have
been taken 4,e00 miles to Greenland
and 5000 miles to Venezuela and are
now in use there as permanent
facilities.
First, the piers are towed in sections
to their destination. Loaded on top Of
the docks are steel pilings, 100 feet
long and feet in diameter.
When the pier has reached Its
destination, the tugs maneuver the
sections into their designated site. A
crane raises the piling into a vertical
position and drops them through holes
In the side of the floating dock.
AirjackS raise the structure to the
desired height and at the same time
force the pilings into the bottom of
the ocean. A giant air hammer then
drives them into place-even into
rock, If necessary.
This Is for permanent installation.
II the dock is to be used only tempo
rarily, the pilirgs can be held in place
by the air jacks. When 1t Is ready
to be moved, the jacks lower the dock
until it floats again. The pilings are

ChrysIer Marks Civil Defense
Frequencies on Car Radios

and 1910 on any standard radio
dial.
Civil Defense officials feel the
innovation in car radio dials will
be particularly valuable, since
such sets operate from the cars
battery. Extensive bombing
might knock out local power IA
cilities. rendering electrically op-
Grated home radios useless. Simi-
larly, portable radios could be
more useful.
The Air Defense Command of
the Air Force would, in the case

would activate the system.

ing officially of a reported move

Bid Of $45 Reported
Some quarters attached sig
nif1cance to a bid of $45 a share
for National Bank of Washing
ton stock. This was reported
posted by Johnston, Lemon &
Co.. brokers. but contained no
specified amount nor did it have
a time limit, according to un-
official sources.
Another broker declared not
too much Importance should be
placed in this. however.
R. j. Dooley, executive vice
president of the National Bank
OF Washington, said his organ
lzatlon has made no official over
lures to Hamilton, looking to a
merger. He said he was in
formed that bid for his banks
stock was increased from $40 to
$45-$5 a share-but explained
he does not know who put in the
bid.
Financial circles here unoffi-
clally view the situation this
way: There are 100000 shares
Of Hamilton outstanding; $4,000
were picked up for an undis-
closed client.
This client is presumed to be
connected with the National
Bank of Washington United
Mine Workers union interests.
1t is understood that $500
Hamilton stockholders own 85,-
600 shares of the banks stock;
that 5000 shares are owned by
1000 stockholders, leaving 800
stockholders owning about 10000
shares.

In the overall, non-farm prices

To-day, about the only consum-

ganda against farm price supports.
Seductive talk about price de-
clines is now completely exploded.
1t was always a myth Failure of
business to assume its proper respon-
sibilities-its failure to forego ex-
cessive profits in critical economic
periods - has been demonstrated
again and again"
Although price cuts haven't ma
terialized. the cost of higher interest
to the government and to citizens is
very real.
The average cost of money to farm
ers has gone up go since the Hard

costs to business and citizens have
risen similarly.
And the Treasury, according to
August Budget Bureau figures, was
paying out $155 million of "solid,
dollars" in added inter

estimates that the increase in annual
interest payments since 1853, result
ing from higher rates and some adj
debt, will be almost $500
