Eisenhower Pulled Off Pedestal

that always faces Presidents,
or other leaders, who seek to
reorganize and revamp either
of our two great political
parties. The Democrats have
exactly the same problem with
the schism between Northern
and Southern wings, each of
which claims it is the real"
Democratic Party, just as do
the standpatters or rightwing-
ers and the moderateS in the
Republican Party.
At another point in his news
conference this week the Presi-
dent identified himself closely
with the Republican Party.
This was when he was asked
about the issues. That afforded
the occasion to draw the diff
ference, as he sees it, in the
PHILOSOPHERS of the two parties.
An immediate development
in the campaign that has
served to identify him with his
party, and as a stout partisan,
is in the insistent and ceaSeless
fire on him. his administration,
and his party'S record. by Adlai
Stevenson. To answer these
attacks, the President has
stepped down into the political
arena to trade punches. That
lines up Republican against
Democrat very clearly.
10 pull the President off his
perch was the object of the
Democratic candidate. He
wanted to give the President
the COP. label so that he
could hold him responsible for
the party and its record. At
the same time it seems to
please Republican party man
ayers that the President has
come out to slug. They believe
it has helped the party by fir
ing up party workers. Some
claim it has checked the swing
toward the Democrats that was
manifest in the early stages of
the campaign.

Court Weighs
Fare Challenge

Federal Judge James w. Nor
ris yesterday took under advise
ment a complaint brought more
than two years ago by a Silver
Spring Md attorney, seeking
to set aside a fare increase
granted the old Capital Transit
Co. in January. 1854, by the
Public Utilities Commission.
The judge did not indicate
when he would rule. Arguments
on a new action in connection
with the issue were finished yes
terday afternoon. The arguments
concerned whether the commits
sion had given sufficient rea-
sons, in line with an order by
the U. S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia, as to
why the commission selected an
original cost base in determin-
ing the old 1854 fare increase.
The attorney seeking to set
aside the old increase is George
Spiegel. of 10831 Lorain avenue,
Silver Spring.
Judge Richmond B. Keech of
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia in October,
1854. upheld the old increases.
His decision, however, was APP
pealed and in July, 1855, the
appellate court reversed Judge
Keech. The appellate court al
lowed the Public Utility Com
missions order to stand but
ordered the commission to give
a more adequate statement of its
reasons for adopting an original
cost base of Capital Transit Co.
in allowing the fare increases.
The commission recently sub
mitted more detailed statement
to District Court. Mr.. Spiegel
commended in new action that
the commissions explanation
was inadequate. He seeks to
have the old fare increase set
aside and to force a refund to
fare payers,

Returns After
so Years

Yesterday was a big day for a
71-year-old former Marine SER
geant visiting here from Airing

Just so years ago this month
Martin j. Gavin reported for
duty at the Marine barracks at
Eighth and l streets Sc. Yes
terday. for the first time since
his brief tour there in 1906, Mr.,
Gavin visited the barracks and
attended retreat ceremonies.
Mr.. Gavin is visiting his
daughter, Mrs. John Carney
whose 12-year-old son, John, jr.
is a Star carrier. The Carneys
live at 1904 Edward avenue, Be-
thesda.
Mr.. Gavin was a locomotive
fireman on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad when he de-
cided to join the Marines. He
enlisted in Cincinnati, Ohio, ano
was sent here for processing
In December, 1906, he was as
signed to the new battleship
Georgia.
The Georgia, with Mr.. Gavin
aboard, sailed around the world
with Is other battleships be-
tween December. 1907, and Feb
ruary. 1909.
Besides his daughter and her

terday described a young
man who appeared before
him.
In court was Lovett Carl

charged from the Army on
Tuesday at Fort Dix, N. j..
was arrested Thursday night
on a Franklin Park bench.
He was dead broke, but he
had a railroad ticket to his

Mr.. Lynn pleaded guilty
to vagrancy and. inferen-

ness. Assistant United States
Attorney Forbes w. Blair
dropped the weapons charge.
Judge Brunette sentenced
Lynn to pay a SIS fine or
serve 30 days in Jail but
suspended execution of the
sentenced on the condition
that Lynn leave town on the
1880 pm. train.
Then, touched by the
young mans plight, Judge

us. Acts to Build Fleet
Of I onkers to Avoid Suez

First steps toward construc-
ton of a new tanker fleet which
would decrease Western depend
ence on the Suez Canal were
under way today.
In response to a presidential
order the Office of Defense
Mobilization has called a con-
ference of representatives of the
National Petroleum Council.
They will meet here, probably
next week, with the Secretaries
of State, Defense, Treasury, In
terror and Commerce.
In the words of the Presidents
directive, they will consider
plans that will be helpful in
assuring the efficiency and ade-
quacy of the distribution of
petroleum supplies in the fore
seeable future in the free world. {"
U. S. to Underwrite Program
Specifically the plan under
study would involve a Govern
ment-underwritten program of
tanker construction by American
shipyardS. The tankers would
be bought by the Government,
provided no other buyer could
be found. and subsequently re-
sold or chartered to oil COM
panieS or foreign nations.
Describing the plan yesterday,
Arthur S. Flemming. director
of the Office of Defense Mobili-
cation, said he believed it likely
that construction plan would
go through, whatever happens in
the present crisis over control
of the Suez Canal. The tankers
in question. he said. were in the
large" but not the Super
tanker" class-probably upward
of $4,000 tons each. Govern
ment officials are thinking at
this point in terms of about so
of these vessels.
There was no question that
the move was spanked by the
threat to traffic through the
Suez Canal, recently taken over
by the Egyptian government.
The Presidents directive speaks
Of "a sufficient number of large
tankers to help supplement ex-I
isting means of distribution and,
If necessary, to help serve as an

The growth of national pride,
national identification and
the self-respect that goes with
it, has since World War 1
become something of a shame
full thing. OF course. the ex-
cesses of nationalism as prac-
ticed by Hitler, Mussolini and
their ilk in the '30s and '40s
did much to turn the world
against both the concept and
the word.
Yet nationalism, in itself,
without the exaggerations
given it by fanatics and en-
pire builders, has been a great
thought and a great expert
ence for the Western world.
With its beginnings in the
throes of the French Revolu-
ton, the idea grew to repre-
sent the highest and noblest
of human aspirations. It was,
indeed, no more than projec-
ton of family, clan. and tribal
Royalties to a larger and more
significant sphere.
National pride, national am

Survival Without Sacrifice?

pect virtually nothing in
return. We have abandoned
our own fortresses, demilitar-
lied our own defenses, yielded,
ironically to the nationalist
jealousies of the nations we
have attempted to help.
And because of these very
things, the nationalism of the
nations of Western Europe,
notably France and to a les
ser extent the British Com
monwealth. has now begun
actively to seek a sort OF unity,
a federation of soverejgnties.
But the drive behind the
search for unity is not inter-
nationalism. 1t is indeed,
merely the modern manifesto
ton of the fight for national
ism.
france ana Britain wish to
create third force" in
Europe. This force. they as
sure us. would continue to be
allied with America in the cold
war against the vicious forces
of expanding communism. But,
in the meanwhile, the excuse
for the third force would be
the independence of the ma
tionS of Europe from the in
fiuence of both the United
States and the Soviet Union.
In this manner. the individual
nationalisms of every member
nation would be preserved.
The latest proposals are a
curious last-ditch effort to
have survival without sacrifice;
to go, each nation. its own
way as before but with a top
heavy and ineffective and thor
oughly spurious federation"
set up as an excuse for more
national responsibility.
If the idea becomes an
actuality, the time it will take
for the masters of the Kremlin
to destroy it will be the only
question.
