Deadly Cruisers

Oeuulv cruisers
The United States Navy an.
nounced this week it expects tc
have two guided missile-fring
cruisers ready for antiaircraft
duty with the fleet this year
the first by July and the second
by December.
Completion of the project tc
convert the heavy cruisers Bos-
ton and Canberra to missile
platforms presumably will make
the American navy the first OF
any world power to possess
workable guided missile ships
The two cruisers, at least mi
TALLY, will be used entirely for
antiaircraft protection of Navy
task forces, employing the Ter
.rier guided missile weapon. The
Terrier, in mass production fol-
more than a year, is fired from
launching racks.
This is the second attempt the
Navy has made with guideC
missiles. It announced in 194t
that the uncompleted hulls O.
the battleship Kentucky and the
cruiser Hawaii would be adapt
ed for use of the new weapons
but had to abandon the proiec
after it developed missile re
search had not advanced fal
enough to allow design of ship,
for their use.

SideIights

Q After a year and a half, Salt
Lake City policeman Ed Myers
is still looking for an overly
conscientious motorist. It was
18 months ago when Myers re-
turned to his parked car to find
a five-dollar bill and a note on
the steering wheel reading:
Here is SIS for the dent I put
in your fender" It was signed,
"A Reckless Driver" The reason
Myers is looking for the motor
ist, he explains, is that the dent
was in his car long before he
parked it that day.
Q In Morristown, N. j., the fire
department was right on top OF
its job this week. A fire broke
out in the basement of the fire

They managed to extinguish the
flames, but not before $1,000
damage was done.

Convention Dates a TipOff
In the Democratic camp, Ste
Venson is about he only posi-
bility being discussed at the
moment. The party got a good
look at quite a number of its
hopefuls during the confusion in
1852 after Truman announced
he would not run again. That
look was one of the chief reasons
for the ultimate decision that it
just had to be Stevenson.
Thr national committees of
the two parties may have more
knowledge of the intentions OF
the two leaders than has become
public. Both are planning late
conventions and both wanted to
hold them even later than state
primary laws will permit. That
doesn't sound like they expected
to need much time for introduc-
ing new faces.

JAPAN: Election Result
American-StYle Cnmnninn

Americun-Style CumPoign
A moustached, round-faced
man with prominent horn
trimmed glasses fulfilled a life
long dream in Japan this week.
Ichiro Hatoyama led his con-
servative Democratic party to a
solid victory in national cleo
tiOns and was virtually certain
of becoming prime minister.
Hatoyama has pointed for the
top spot since he was first
elected to the Japanese House
.Of Representatives in 1915. He
almost made it in 1916, when
the Liberal party he founded
won a smashing victory in the
first postwar election. However,
he was purged by the American
occupation for his wartime writ
ings praising the axis. He turned
the reins of the party control to
Shigeru Yoshida, who never
gave them back.
Founded Two Parties
Although partly paralyzed by
IA stroke, Hatoyama founded an
other party, the Democrats, and
led them to victory with an un-
.precedented Western-style cam
paign.
Since last Dec. 10, 72-year-old
HatOyama has been ruling Japan
as head Of a "caretaker" Cabi-
net appointed when his one-time
political pupil, Yoshida, resigned
after a record six straight years
in office. His appointment as
prime minister by the Die
(parliament) is expected in mid
March.
Hatoyama's main campaign
points were a call for increased
trade With Red China an6 diplo.
matte relations with the Sovie'
Union-but without breaking
Japan's current close ties with
the West.

BUSINESS: Questioning Senators
Boom But No Bust

Some of the biggest names in
Wall Street trekked to Capitol
Hill this week. Their mission: to
assure Senate Investigators that
the dizzy rise in stock prices
over the past Is months is not
building up to another 1929
boom-and-bust.
Stock verages have been
climbing, almost without inter
ruption, since the fall of 1858.
Under particular scrutiny right
now is the breath-taking spurt
that's been under way since last
falls congressional elections. The
post-election surge has lifted the
market even higher than the
historic peaks that preceded the
1929 debacle.
Headed by Oxford-educated
Sen. Fulbright (D-Ark). the
stock market inquiry got rolling
when the Senate Banking Com
mittee mailed out questionnaires
to 5,613 brokers, investors, an
alystS, economists and others.
The answers-particularly those
of the professional traders-gave
a pretty accurate preview of the
oral testimony the Senate prob
ers expected to get from leading
banking and financial figures.
Most of those replying felt
there was little similarity be-
tween today's market and the

Congress
Administration Victory

With an important victory for
President Eisenhower on the
record, the congressional debate
on the Democratic proposal for
"a $20-a-person income tax cut
headed for a showdown this
week.
A big round for the admins
.tratiOn was won in the Senate
Finance Committee, which voted
SO to strike the provision cut
ting personal taxes from the
original administration measure
providing for a one-year exten-
sion of the present levels of tax
alton on corporation income and
continuation of present excuses
'On automobiles, transportation,
gasoline, cigarettes, liquor, wine
and beer. The cut had been
added by the House in the form
of a rider.
Dubbed Fiscal Irresponsible
| Iity" by the President, the S2O-a-
person cut would cost the gov
Iernment an estimated S2,2OO.-
100000 in annual revenue. If it is
included in the tax bill finally
emerging from Congress, Eisen-
hover could not veto it without
also permitting the corporation
and excise taxes to revert to
their old leVels-which would
cost the government an esti-
mated three billion dollars a
year.
Two Democrats, Byrd of Vir-
ginia and George of Georgia,
teamed up with the Republicans
in the Finance Committee to in
sure defeat for the cuts.
In declaring the intention Oi
the Senate Democratic leader
ship to make a floor fight for the
cut, Sen. Clements (D-Ky)
stated; "The effort to obtain
some relief for low-income tax
payers will be carried to the
Senate floor and pushed as Wig.

tries.
American officials quickly
turned a cold shoulder toward
the idea. However, it was signif-
icant that within three days the
State Department announced it
had presented a new demand to
Red China-through consular
representatives at Geneva-for
release of Al American civilians
held in China. It appeared that
the State Department, while re-
fusing to be put in the posi-
ton of begging favors of Red
China, was completely willing
to test the Communist intention
through the regular channels OF
diplomacy.
The immediate reaction Of the
Reds, however, was not favor

said the Communist reply to the

iteration of their old position

The meeting was the first

tentiOns about another term to
be so generally accepted as his
appear to be at this mid-term
point.
1t is at least a year until the
time wheL presidents usually
give some indication or an
ncuncement of their plans. Yet
Republican party leaders act as
though there were no doubt and
so. in many ways, do the Demo
crats.
Popularity Argument Declines
A year ago there was a lot of
talk about lack of leadership in
both Republican party and ma
tional affairs. Surveys were be-
ing made to determine how
much Eisenhower's popularity
had dropped from the high of
1852 campaign days. Few ques-
toned that it had dropped.
Now some Washington politi-
cal observers are wondering out
loud whether or not the Demo
Gratis had best accept Eisenhow-
er as unbeatable and center
their interests in '56 on main
tanning and extending their
hold on Congress.
Democrats yowl about this,
pointing out that Stevenson's
popular vote against a great ma
tional hero was certainly no dis
grace in so, and claiming that
enough rough spots in Eisen-
hower's political ability have
been revealed to even things uu
in '56.
The growing assumption re-
garding EisenhoWer'S intentions
however, has no counterpart
with regard to Stevenson.
Stevenson Warned
He goes about the even tenor
of his way, travelling a bit
studying world events and issu-
ing comment on them from time
to time, keeping the door open
to denomination, but not knock
ii4g on it.
He has been warned by Demo
cratic leaders that there will be
no draft next time, as in 1852
when he gave every appearance
of trying to duck the nomina-
tlCn until it was actually his.
Anybody who wants the next
nomination must get out and
fight for it early and often, they
are saying.
Nevertheless, Stevenson stands
With Eisenhower in the minds
of most people who try to fore
see the course Of the Sc conven-
tions.
The Republicans have some
young fellows coming up, like
Nixon and Knowland, who aci
like men bitten by the presiden-
tial bug. Dewey remains highly
important in the background OF
party affairs. But Eisenhower is
