FINISHES SERVICE- LYONS Donald Kuiken returned home the last of the week from Fort Lewis, after receiving his dis charge from the U.S. Army on Thursday. WASHINGTON (UP)-The odds were long against it, but President Eisenhower has come up with a scheme to make more political hay from news conferences than was ever harvested by that old maestro FDR, himself. No telling to what heights Mr. Roosevelt would have raised his news conferences if he had been blessed with the electronic gadgets now available. He did well enough, as it was, confounding his political opponents with the impact of his twice-weekling meetings with the news men and women. He often baffled the reporters and rarely lost to them in the back and forth cf repartee in which, it is true, FDR always enjoyed the useful assistance of a consider able claoue. Strictly sneaking, a claque is a hired group of cheer leaders and strictly speaking FDR did not hire his with money. He bound them to him with guile and a flattering habit of aadressing a friendly and sometimes obscure reporter by his first name, just tike an equal. FIW Made Good Show Take them or leave them, FDR's news conferences were often the best show on earth and he handled them with skill, enjoyment and n lusty enthusiasm for cutting down his enemies in and out of the room. All of that soon will be forgotten and the old timers in years hence who try to tell the youngsters how FDR used to wow 'em on those wonderful Tuesdays and Fridays at the White House will get a blank, disbelieving stare. Mr. Eisenhower has taken to televi sion. Ho has taken to newsrecls. too. but the .political sock in the new White House policy of filming news conferences is to come from TV. You may lay to that. The President was on view for the first time this week, in a film of 25 minutes of the 33-minute weekly news conference. The ef fect was terrific. James C. Hagerty, the alen White House press secretary. worked this one out. Henceforth each week the conferences will be filmed. Photographers must obey the rules, however, and therein lies the spectacularly clever part of Hagerty's device. Film To Be Censored All film must be cut to White House standards. If the President goofs one if the President loses his temper inopportunely if the President gets hit with an unwel come question and is put in a bad light if and if some more. In the case of all of these "ifs" the offending portion of film is cut out and 'delivered to the While House. The remaining well-selected portion is loosed to the TV screens and newsrcel houses. Mr. Eisenhower always will be at his best, and his best is pretty wonder ful, as was FDR's back there a long time ago. More and more the people are going to think of him as "Ike" and see him with that engaging smile. This TV news conference deal is the best political gimmick turned up since Mr. Roosevelt first bowled the nation over on the Sun day after his 1933 inauguration with what he called a fireside chat. His chats and news conference performances kept the Republi cans off balance for nearly 20 years. Now Mr. Eisenhower has an improved medium keyed to the proverb that a picture is worth Notes on the News "Isn't that Commerce Department fellow taking a long time standardizing grass skirts?" There are those who say Mr. Eisenhower is not gunning for a second term. That could be. But, if, by chance, such persons are mistaken, the man with the million dollar grin has a mighty weapon in hand now. One that promises trouble for all of his opponents 10,000 words and the customers in all parties and one that gives get the words, as well. I him a long lead on them. fFIPS MORS CHILORCH THROUGH Itvostr ST.J0SEPH aspmiN rOR CHILDREN Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Fri Jan. 21, 1955-(Sec. l)-7 Tot Complains to President About TV Program, Ike Acts CHICAGO (A-EiRht-year-old Re nee Denicola, distressed because her favorite television programs were being interrupted by a "ham" radio operator, complained directly to President Eisenhower and got prompt action.

Ridgway will not have to retire from the Army before his term as chief of staff expires in August. Secretary of the Army Stevens announced Thursday he will retain Ridgway in active service bevond the retirement age of 60, which Ridgway will attain in March. Ridgway became chief of staff on Aug. 15, 19S3. He was appoint ed to a two-year term, but would have had to retire 4 Mi months early, on his 60th birthday, had it not been for Stevens' action, ap proved By .President Eisenhower, New West German Army Historic Turning Point By JOSEPH W. CRIGO t'nited Press Staff Correspondent WOODBVRX Degrees will be BONN. Germany 'UP) The birth of the new West German army will be a turning point in post-war European history. The Bonn Republic will have only 500.000 men under arms. Russia has more than four mil lion. But the significance of the new German Streilkraefte goes beyond mere figures. It means the re-emergence or a sovereign Germany. Behind the West German armed forces will be 50 million vigorous, industri ous, free people, steeped in proud military tradition. Germany is already on the way to being a world power again. One reason why France hesitated to agree to Gorman rearmament is that it foresaw the day when Germany might again overshad ow Russia as a military menace. West Germany is enjoying a re markable boom. Its production, its national income, Its exports are soaring. The index of industrial produc tion, which was 179.7 in Novem ber. 1953, reached 202.2 in No vember, 1954. The volume of foreign trade, which was $8,280,000,000 in 1953 reached $9,960,000,000 in 1954. West Germany 's favorable trade balance in 1954 was 672 mil lion dollars compared with 600 million dollars in 19.i3, tweon Germany and Russia are hard to get. Russia has a habit of concealing its actual economic situation by listing its production in percentages as compared with previous years. But here are some revealing headlines of the last few months, based on dispatches direct from Moscow and on expert analyses of figures made public by Russian agencies: Soviet steel and iron industry fails to reach goals set for output per man. . . Russian grain har vest unlikely to reach expected increase despite drive to cultivate new land. . , Khrushchev denies bread shortage. . .
