Idea for Morning Paper Here

Carthy of Wisconsin. He men
toned the possibility of getting
10000 to $4,000 readers who
want that point of view to be
given expression.
The editor of the new paper,
if it materializes, he said, will
be Forrest Davis. former Wash
ington editor of the Saturday
Evening Post and now an edi-
torial writer on the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Mr.. Davis was editor
of Mr.. Hillman's Freeman.
Reached or the telephone at
Cincinnati, Mr.. Davis confirmed
the arrangement and seemed
much more certain that the
planned paper would make It's
appearance this fall than Mr..
Hillman.
Its going to be something
like the Manchester Guardian
and the London Express" he
said, that Is q small eight-page
paper like the Express with some
of the briiliance of the Guardian.
We hope to make it a political
paper. no comic strips, that
people will be willing to pay for.
I doubt that 1t will ever accept
advertising.

paper, rather than a Republican
ore, as strong for Senator Byrd
as for any Republican. It viii

Alex L. Hillman, publisher
of Pageant and other periodicals,
told The Star last night that he
was looking into the possibilities
of publishing a morning paper
in Washington something like
the Wall Street Journal" but
that the project was still "nebu-
louS."
The plan is to distribute a
newspaper without advertising at
10 cents a copy, he said. The
possibility Of eventually opening
the columns Of the proposed
newspaper to advertising is
under consideration. Washing
ton, said Mr.. Hillman over the
telephone from New York, is "a
hard nut to crack" because news
paper advertising rates here are
low.

whole thing is very nebulous. I"
MIR. Hillman was described by
friends as graduate of the

he President Looks Back
On Times of War and Peace
Ponders Meaning
OF Sacrifices in
TuIk to Newsmen

President Eisenhower waxed
philosophical today on the sub
ject of war and peace.
Talking with a group of war
correspondents preparing to
leave for France to attend 10th
anniversary ceremonies of the
Normandy invasion June 5-6, the
President said:
IT frequently get to question:
ing myself about-we used to
talk a lot about our sacrifices and
so on-about what these Sacri-
fees brought us. OF course they
brought us-and bought us-an
immediate safety from the dan
ger then threatening.
Earnest Peace Advocates.
what did they bring us in
the long run? We know they
brought us an opportunity to
do something. but what did
these sacrifices mean? I have
never been able-and probably
never will be able-to write
down something, myself. to sat-
isfy me.
But I do know this: That
out of it all the people who
know war, those that expert
enced it-you writer's, the fight
ing men-I believe we are the
most earnest advocates of peace
in the world. I believe these
people that talk about peace
academically. but who never had
to dive in ditch when a Mess
erschmjdt 100 came over-they
really don't know what it is"
Many Old Friends.
In conclusion, the President
told the correspondents going
back to Normandy:
Prob bly, you won't go
through a town there that I
haven't been through. You'll see
many old friends of mine-some
farmers around there, where we
used to camp on down to Gram

orders can usurp executive re-

This statement was aimed at.
Senator Mccarthy, it was made
clear at the time.
Gen. Eisenhower said emphat-
ically that this constitutes the
last word he will have to say
on this subject-unless some
thing should happen to change
his mind.
Later in the conference a re-
porter asked the President if he
thought Senator Mccarthy had
hurt the administration program
on Capitol Hill. Gen. Eisenhow-
er grew red in the face and
snapped out a curt invitation
for the next question.
The President did, however,
answer one query pertaining to
the Mccarthy controversy. He
was told that Senator Syming-
ton, Democrat, of Missouri, had
said the Democrats on the SUBJ
committee investigating the Nc
Carthy-Arm row were the only
ones standing up for the admin
istration in its conflict with SEN
ator Mccarthy over his insist
ence that he has right to get
secret security information from
Government employees. The Presi-
dent was asked if he thought
the Republican Senators were
letting him down.
He replied that he doesn't
think the Republicans are letting
him down. He added that like
all organizations, the Republican
Party has in it certain individuals
or Splinters that don't go along
with the majority. He said he
does not know the philosophy of
those who stray.
Gen. Eisenhower explained he
was not going to say any more
about the Mccarthy controversy

anything more important to the

Inspiration Mixed
With Frustrotions
Mark 16- Months

Both unexpected Illustrations
and inspirations have been Pres
ident Eisenhower's lot during his
first 16 months in the White
House, he told a news conference
today.
A reporter. remarking that the
President now has completed
one-third of his first term, asked
him if things had gone the way
he had anticipated.
Gen. Eisenhower said he did
not start out with any idea that
it was going to be picnic or fun.
He said that there had been
many Illustrations, disappoint-
ments and inhibitions that
were unexpected even for one
partly accustomed to living in a
goldfish bowl.
Impressed by Sacrifices.
However, he went on, inspira-
ton has come from many quar-
tiers. He mentioned that it is
inspiring and pleasing for him
to see the number of people who
are ready to make personal sac
rificeS to serve the Government.
Then he tolc of a visit the
other day that especially in
spired him. He said the visitor
was little girl who apparently
took great pleasure in coming to
his Office. And his sense of being
complimented by the visit, he
said, was intensified by what she
had gone through to get there.
She was scheduled to visit the
White House two years ago with
a group of girls. but was stricken
with polio. The President re-
called that she went through q
two-year siege which included
having both her legs broken and
reset and a number of opera
tions. While in the hospital, she
completed her high school
course.
Can't Feel Sorry for Self.
When you see courage like
that, Gen. Eisenhower said, you
can't feel very sorry for your
self. He added that that kind
of incident tends to lift you
above yourself.
