Despite Setback By De Witt Mackenzie (AP Foreign Affairs Analyst) Eire's general election has de prived Eamon De Valera's Flan na Fail party of the parliamen tary majonty under which, as nrime minister, he has guided the new republic since 1932 through 16 of its most trying formative years, but the political seers of Dublin say he can if he wishes still carry' on as chief minister with the support of the Labor and Independent parties. Now your correspondent has no desire to poke his head un necessarily into the hornet's nest of Irish politics. However, a dis cussion of De Valera, the man, is another thing, for he Is one of the notable personalities of our day and I have known him well these many years. ! As a matter of fact Its almost j exactly 32 years since he and I I all but lost our lives (though playing amerent roles) in south ern Ireland's "bloodv Easter Week rebellion" of 1916. There was a bitter night in Dublin when the tall, gaunt college pro fessor was shooting at the British troops from a window af Boland's mill In the heart of the city, while your reporter was In the hands of the military suspected of being a rebel because of an In advertant violation of rigid mar tial law. De Valera was condemned to death and reprieved. Co-Founder of Republic Well, that's the wav DeValera ot his start toward the prime ministership, for he was one of the chlcl lounders of the repub lic. Not all his foreign relations have been happv, for both Amer ica and Britain were an' over his refusal to grant them naval bases on the coast of Eire during the war, and Washington accused Eire of affording a base for Axis soies by refusing to expel Ger man and Japanese diplomats. So far as home affairs go, De Valera has wrought a vast change in the economic life of Eire.

Cattle raising for the English market was the chief Industry, and agriculture was neglected so that most grain, including wheat for bread, had to be imported. De Valera struck at this system (and created a good deal of hos tility among the cattle men). He called for a heavy increase in rrain and sugar beat production, with special emphasis on wheat for bread, and the government made cultivation attractive bv offering a guranteed and profl table price for both wheat and beets. The total area under tillage was lumped from 1.425.021 acres in 1931 to 2,474 314 acres in. 1945 I the latest figure available). Wheat was jumped from 20,848 acres In '31 to 662,498 acres in 1945. Sugar beet increased from 5.612 to 84.522. Eire started to mill her own wheat, and to make her own su gar. Result: Eire Is more prosperous today than ever before In his tory and officials will tell you there is no hun"er these days. MM p''' , GBT NBW ' i TIRES 4$0) Aircraft Capable Of Transporting A-Bombs Planned Washington upy-Plane big enough to carry atomic bombs may be able to operate from a giant new American air craft carrier. The proposed addition of a 60,000-to-80.000-ton mammoth flat top and eight other experimental warcraft to the nation's arsenal of new weapons was first hinted at a month ago by President Truman. The president proposed in his budget measure to Congress that $230,000,000 which would have .jone into ships now on the ways be used instead to build fighting craft of "advanced design." It remainea, however, for Sec retary of the Navy Sullivan to provide the slill sketchy details of what those ships will look like. And Sullivan made another dis closure: the hopes for guided missile development are some what ahead of accomplished fact. Therefore the Navy is stowing away, for a time, its plans for converting the hulls of two big battle wagons into guided missile launching craft. Construction work on the battleship Kentucky and the battle cruiser Hawaii will be postponed indefinitely. Nimitz Gave Notice Sullivan steered a cautious course at his news conference last week concerning the intend ed use of the big carrier. Plainly, he wanted no arguments with the Air Force about moving In on their strategic bombing work. However, the anonuncement followed by a few weeks a state ment by Admiral Chester NimiU, retired chief of naval operations, that the Navy will build carriers capable of accommodating atom bomb carrying planes. The projected new vessel will be of the flush-deck type. That is. the "island" superstructure familiar on all other American carriers will be missing. This island, Jutting out athwart the flight deck, has placed a limit on the wing-span of planes which could take off and land. Sullivan said only that bigger and faster aircraft will be de signed to tly from the bigger carrier. He did not specify types. Better Subs Planned The biggest carriers now in the fleet ai-e the 45.000-ton Midway, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Coral Sea. They are 968 feet long and 113 feet wide. In addition to the new carrier, Sullivan said the Navy intends, If Congress approves, to: Build four submarines capable of high speed while submerged and presumably equipped with German-developed features en abling them to remain under water for long periods. Build a new "hunter-killer" ship of destrover like speed but larger and outfitted with Im proved detection gear to locate enemy submarines. Convert a 27.000-toR Essex class carrier and two submarines. What that modernization would include Sullivan did not say. Libel Suit Brought by Drew Pearson Dismissed CHARLESTOWN, W.
