Ing In Paris. It was intended,
among other things, to soothe
the ruined feelings Of the
Spaniards.
The Spaniards feel sighted
because they are barred from
joining the NATO, although
they are part and parcel Of
the Western alliance. This is
because Of the opposition Of

land and Norway.
We have six air bases and

our disposal without any

Western Europe more than

Mr.. Dulles was expected to
give Generalissimo Franco a
complete fill-in on what hap
pened at Paris. our hopes and
Illustrations. and especially
the political discussions
which remain classified and
we're not mentioned In the
oficial communique.
Franco Is known to have
some definite ideas about
the political situation in
Europe. He is convinced
and has impaired these be-
liefs in conversations with
Americans-that the unity Of
Germany is by far the most
important matter for q

Here's the longevity story:

President Eisenhower today
made public an exchange of
messages with Great Britain's
new Prime Minister ex-

The exchange with Harold

my own warm admiration
stems. as you know, from our
association in North Africa and
through the succeeding years.
For me that association has been
as agreeable as it has been pro-
ductive."
In his message Mr.. Eisenhower
did say:
Il feel confident that you will
bring to your new task the same
vision. determination and SYM
pathetic understanding you have
shown in the past. For myself
and the people OF the United
States, let me wish you every

This record repeatedly had

days old when he bowed out OF

R Sherwood of Ohio, who served
eight terms in the House but was
defeated in 1924 at the age of
80 years. 6 months and Is DAYS.
The other was Representative
Charles Stedman of North Caro-
lima, who died in Office in 1880
at the age of 80 years. 7 months

Nee orthy Hints Fight
On Zwicker Promotion
BY the Associated Press

Brig. Gen. Ralph w. Zwicker,
a Key figure in the 1854 Army
Mccarthy row, has been recon-
mended by President Eisenhower
for promotion to major general.
Gen. Zwicker'S clash with
Senator Mccarthy, Republican of
Wisconsin. was one of several in =
cidents that led 10 the Army
Mccarthy feud. AS an outgrowth
of this dispute, Senate COM
mittee invo stigated Senator Nc
Carthy's activities. and the
senate voted to condemn" his
conduct on several counts late
in 1854.
When Gen. Zwicker's name
was sent to the Senate yester-
day, along with those of other
officers proposed for promotion,
Senator Mccarthy indicated he
might stir up fight.
Another name on the list was
that Of Col. Carey A. Randall.
Secretary of Defense Wilson's
military assistant. Mr.. Wilson
personally interceded to propose
that Col. Randall, 44-year-old
Marine with a brilliant World
War II combat record in the
Pacific. be advanced to Brigadier
General.
Gen. Zwicker. now attached to
the 9th Army in the Far East,
was commander of Camp Kill
mer, N. j.. in 1854 when Maj !.
Irving Peress was stationed
there.
Maj. Peress. who had refused
to answer Senator McCarthy's
questions about possible Com
munlst connections, was pro-
noted and then discharged at
the time Senator Mccarthy was
urging he be courtmartialed.
Senator Mccarthy and Gen.
wicker clashed while the Sena-
tor. then head of the Senate In
vestigations subcommittee, was
looking into the Peress situation.
The Senator at one point said
Gen. Zwicker was unfit to wear
a Generals uniform.
Senator Mccarthy said yester-
day he will await developments
before he decides whether to at
tempt to block Gen. Zwicker's
promotion.
A Pentagon spokesman said in
answer to questions about Col.
Randall's boost to one-star rank
that the officer was not included

A|corn Believed
e. 0. P. Choice
orChairman

Barring some unexpected de-
velopment. H. Meade Alcorn, Jr.,
of Connecticut will be picked for
the Craftsmanship of the Repub-
lican National Committee when
that body meets here next Tues
day.
Mr.. Alcorn, Connecticut
member of the committee and a
vice-chairman. has strong back
ing for the Craftsmanship, it is
said, including that of the Presi-
dent. He was a leader in Con-
necticut for the nomination of
President Eisenhower back in
1852. His selection for national
chairman will be in line with
the remaking of the G. o. p,
which the President has indi-
Gated should take place if the
party is to become the ma jority
political party of the country. He
fills the bill for the so-called
modern Republicanism" of the
Eisenhower variety. He success
fully managed the arrangements
for the Republican National
Convention in San Francisco
when the President and Vice
President Nixon were renomi-
mated.
The selection of Mr.. Alcorn,
however. has aroused some an
tagonism among Republican
leaders-particularly those of the
more conservative wing of the
party-some of whom followed
the lead of the late Senator Bob
Taft of Ohio. They argue that
Mr. Alcorn has not had the
needed experience in national
politics to take over the chair
manship. Others contend he is
too cold" a man to arouse en-
IthusiaSm and carry the national
committee organization success
fully.
Should President Eisenhower
not support the Alcorn selection
to the hilt and let it be known
that other potential candidates
would be acceptable to him, there
might be a floor fight in the ma
tional committee meeting. Two
Republican state chairmen, Bliss
Iof Ohio and Morhouse of New
York. have their hackers and
their names. or the name of one
of them, might be put forward
for a vote of the committee. in
opposition to Mr.. Alcorn.
That situation seems unlikely,
however. if the Alcorn selection
has really been made, as it is
now reported. The President. it
is recognized, always has the f.
nal say on the selection of a ma
tional chairman, and if the
President tells the nominating

in recommendations of a regu-
lar Marine promotion board. He
said Mr.. Wilson personally sug-
gested the higher rank and Gen
Randolph c. Pate, Marine COM
mandant, concurred.
Col. Randall has been in the
Pentagon since 1850 and has held
his present job since 1851. He
lives at 2l0 South Jackson street,
Arlington. Va.
His nomination specified that
he hold one-star rank while he
is assigned as military assist
ant" to the Defense Secretary.
