One-Legged Men Enroll In Ski Class

The amputee skiers come from
various southern California points
to attend weekend classes at near
by Snow Summit.
1.-THE whole idea Of an amputee
ski school," said Smith, a senior
at the University of California at
Los Angeles, belonged to Bob
Engelien, a former Army captain
and an amputee who died just
three months ago"
Bob saw amputee skiing for
the first time in Germany in 1851,
and gave it a try. He became con-
vinced there should be an amputee
ski school over here. He got it
going just before he died three
months ago."
One of the obstacle in
establishing a ski school came
from some skiers who said it
would be depressing" to the
public to see amputees skiing.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1954-03-11

Actually, skiers here now marvel
at the amputee' great progress.
eve can ride up on the rope
lows, make downhin runs, do our
turns and traverses like pros"
Smith reported. Last week, I
even went through the slalom
course. And did some airplane
turns"
AS for the construction Of the
skis, Smith said Engelien brought
back a sample crutch ski from
Germany and he copied it and
made others for the students at
his school. 1--WE use a regulation
ski plus the crutch ski"
The Snow Summit amputee ski
school is sponsored by the Los
Angeles Athletic Club, which pays
the teaching and equipment costs.
Snow Summit provides the facil-
tiles at no cost. Service clubs
handle food, lodging and trans
portation expenses for the ampu-
tees.

Gen. Cuenther
Doesn't Expect
3rd World War
By TOM BRADSHAW

PHILADELPHIA Up - Gen. Al.
fred NJ. Gruenther, supreme AL.
lied commander in Europe, says
from here on in it will be I'D to
the United States to decide wheth.
er there is to be a third world
war.
He told the final session of the
eighth annual Philadelphia Bulle.
tin Forum last night that he is
confident there will be no such
conflict because in the three years
since the birth of the North Allan
tic Treaty Organization the bulk
OF international authority has shift
ed to America.
He said the United States and
Allied powers are not now in a
position In Europe Ito meet an
about Russian attack if they
should make a determined effort"
But he added, "We do have a
force in being now which is prob.
ably more than the Russians can
handle with the forces that they
have in occupied Europe"
The statement made last year
that l feel World War III is not
going to take place." he said, 81
reiterate again with even more
confidence because feel that we
have it in our power to make that
decision"
NATO forces in Europe at the
present include not only enough
power to stop Russia's might in
thesatellite nations, he said, but
U. S. air power is rapidly reaching
maturity on an atoimc basis.
Within the next three years. he
said, I'VE will have the potential
of launching atomic attack by
long range and short range
aircraft, by guided missiles, and
by artillery"
The biggest threat, he added. is
overconfidence-an overconfijence
which overlooks the fact that Rus
sia's military might is not standing
still and that Russia's attitude has
not changed.
II think that the recent Berlin
conference did a great deal to
show" he said, "that the Russian
attitude has not changed, that
their long-range detectives are the
same, and that the only new look
is that Mr.. Molotov was a little
more polite, kissed a few more
babies, but he said NO at exactly
the same time he has always said
it."
Harold E. StaSSen, chief of the
foreign Operations Administration.
told the forum the United States
has chosen the role of senior part
ner in a voluntary union of free
peoples with no military strings
attached"
Stassen said this new role was
first voiced in President Eisenhow-
er's offer to share U. S. atomic
knowledge "for peaceful use."
This country now, Stassen said,
Is engaged in a declared total
war, not upon any human enemy,
but upon the brute forces Of pow.
erty and need"
That program will be carried
forward, he said, by providing
technical cooperation, economic de.
velopment and military support
with any or all of the So nations
with which we have reached an
understanding.

By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON R-Sen. McCar-
thy (R-Wis), mailing down the
chance to make tonight the first
broadcast reply to Adlai E. Stew
enson, got the jump on an admin
istration drive to lure the spot
Light away from him.
The senator, still insisting he is
entitled to free television and
radio time over the networks
which carried StevenSon's party
speech last Saturday, announced
he will make a partial" reply
tonight & pm. EST on the
Mutual radio network.
That will be two days before
the official COP reply by Vice
President Nixon.
Mccarthy will appear on the IS
minute show of commentator Full
ton Lewis Jr. Mccarthy said it
would be question and answer
mostly answer" affair. He said
1t would touch on criticism of him
by both Stevenson, the Democratic
presidential candidate in 1852, and
by Sen. Flanders (R-Vt).
NBC and CHS, which carried
Stevenson's speech from Miami,
Fla, have granted free time to the
Republican National Committee
for reply. The committee, which
beat Mccarthy to the draw in
requesting it, chose Nixon as the
COP speaker.
President Eisenhower told his
news conference yesterday he re-
garded the networks decision as
a fair arrangement. He said he
heartily concurred in selection of
Nixon. High COP sources earlier
had said the President hand picked
Nixon.
Eisenhower also said, in COM
menting on Flanders Senate criti-
cism of Mccarthy, that there is
danger in ''magnifying certain
items of procedure and right and
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT to
the point where we are endanger-
Ing the program of action that
all the leadership is agreed up
The White House granted per-
mission to quote the President
directly. News conference remarks
normally may not be so quoted.
Sen. Ferguson of Michigan,
chairman Of the Senate COP Pol
icy Committee, said in an inter-
view today. he interpreted the
Presidents words as indicating
concern that his legislative pro-
gram might be lost sight of in
wrangling over Mccarthy and his
controversial investigations.
Ferguson said that without dis.
paraging McCarthy's activities, he
and other leaders feel the Eisen-
hover program will be the "big
issue" of this years campaign for
control Of Congress.
"The leadership is trying to keep
the big issues before the people,
the issues that affect their welfare
and livelihood" Ferguson said.
Similarly, Sen. Knowland Of
California, the COP floor leader,
said last night he fears that con-
tinued controversy over Mccarthy
within the party "would be dan
gerous to our legislative pro-
gram" He added, in an NBC
radio interview, that 81 would GER
tainly hope this running discussion
will not be continued on the floor"
Asked to comment on Esen-
hower's handling of the McCar-
thy Juror, Knowland said: "There
is no power in The presidency
under which President can purge
q senator. The President under
stands that. In past administra-
tons that was tried without not
able success"
Ferguson said he regards the

Mccarthy Plans To Make partial" Reply
To Stevenson In Broadcast Set For Tonight

"an unheard-of infringement Of
freedom of speech" to deny him
the time he seeks. As for Eisen-
hower's comment that he regarded
the networks decision as fair, Nc
Carthy said, eff he has a different
position, he has a right to have
it."
Radio station WGN, the Chicago
Tribune station, offered Mccarthy
free time to reply ito attacks
made upon you." and said It
would allow any other station to
carry the talk without restriction.
Mccarthy and Flanders ex-
changed handshakes and engaged
in some horseplay in the Capitol
yesterday. When Flanders offered
his hand, Mccarthy grasped it,
threw an arm around the Yer
monter's shoulders and told him:
'You vote less for the Repub.
licans than any other member of
the party so quit advising me how
to be a good Republican"
While Flanders was sitting In
his Senate seat, Mccarthy walked
up behind him and playfully put
his hands around Flanders neck
in a choking motion. Startled,
Flanders sprang to his feet, saw
who it was and then both laughed.
Mccarthy also had q luncheon
talk with Secretary of Defense
Wilson, who last week described
as damn tommyrot" any conten-
ton that the Army has been cod
ding Communists.
After the luncheon, Mccarthy
said he and Wilson had no argu-
ment, and he added that the Sec
rotary 'has been active a lot
longer than I have in getting rid
of Communists"
Mccarthy said he wanted to
withhold comment for the present
on "a set of suggested rules for
committee investigations put out
yesterday by the Senate Policy
Committee. Ferguson, the commit
tee chairman, declined to say
whether they were aimed at Nc
Carthy's methods. There was no
suggested procedure for ensuring
their adoption by all Senate COM
mittees.
Mccarthy took an occasion pro-
vided by the Democratic Digest,
official organ of the opposition
party, to say he likes some other
Republican senators.
The Digest quoted a Feb. 8
statement by Mccarthy that men,
berS of Congress who opposed
shutting off aid to countries which
trade with Communist China
should be defeated in November.
The Democratic magazine then
proceeded to list members of the
House who voted in favor of the
1858 foreign aid bill and those in
the Senate-including Mccarthy
himsef-who supported similar
bill in 1852. The 1853 bill was
passed by the Senate on q voice
vote.
81 Shown the Democrats listing
that included Senator's Bridges,
Ferguson, Hendrickson (R-ND,
Mundt (R-SD), Saltonstall (R-
Mass and Margaret Chase Smith
(-Maine), Mccarthy exclaimed:
sits completely false-my God,
they're picking all my friends"
He licked off the names of
Bridges, Ferguson, Mundt and
Saltonstall and said of each "He's
got my about support" adding,
Il like Hendrickson and Margaret
Chase"

communism-in-g overnment issue
which Mccarthy has stressed. as
largely problem of the past, u
and he added:
unlike the Democrats who had
a vested interest in retaining sus.
pected employees because it would
be embarrassing to fire them
after so long time, the men in
government now have no political
reason not to clean them out and
they are doing that"
Mccarthy, perhaps taking the
line he may employ in any reply
he makes tonight to Flanders, told
newsmen:
There's a tremendous, con.
certed effort to cut down the in.
veStigation of Communists. A very
few Republicans are joining in it.
It's SO easy for Republican to
be a hero in the eyes of the left
wing press by interfering in the
investigation of communism-T'm
happy they are so few"
Asked to list the "few Repub.
licans" he had in mind, Mccarthy
grinned and said mo comment. {"
He described Flanders as lone
ne described FladerS as "onee
Of the finest old gentlemen !
know"
Mccarthy and Eisenhower met
last night at dinner honoring
Senate Republican leaders and
Sen. Bridges GRIND reported,
shook hands lin a friendly fash
ion." Other senator's who attended
said the two greeted one another
cordially.
When the party broke up, Nc
Carthy stayed behind with COP
members of his investigating SUBJ
committee and with Knowland and
Sen. Bricker (R-Ohio). There was
no indication Nwhat they discussed
at an hour-long huddle.
Flanders, who told his Senate
colleagues Tuesday that McCar-
thy was "doing his best to shat
ter the COP, got what he termed
a mice letter" from Eisenhower.
but declined to make it public.
AT his news conference, Eisen-
hover voiced general endorsement
of Flanders speech.
AS did Ferguson, Flanders said
in an interview he thinks more
emphasis should be placed on the
legislative program.
Flanders said he had received
a deluge of mail and kilograms
since his speech. They range
from "'drop dead to hero wor.
ship" he said.
An overwhelmingly favorable
reaction was reported by CHS in
New York to a TV show put on
Tuesday night by commentator
Edward R. Murrow, who said
Mccarthy repeatedly has over
stepped the boundary between
investigating and prosecuting.
The network last night said that
with reaction still coming in, the
breakdown was:
Telephone calls: favoring the
program, S,S41; protesting, 697.
kilograms: favoring the pro-
gram, 2,764; protesting, Sc.
Murrow offered Mccarthy op-
portunity to reply on the same
program sometime later. McCar-
thy said he was considering the
offer, but wanted some informa-
ton on what role Murrow would
play.
In any event, he declared, his
appearance on the Mutual pro-
gram tonight would be no substi-
tute for the free time he has de-
manded from NBC and CHS to
reply to Stevenson. The Demo-
Gratis titular head had labeled the
COP half Mccarthy, half Eisen-
hover"
The senator said it would be
