GENERAL D WIGHT EISENHOWER
Background Series Starts Thursday
Mail Tribune Series
To Tell lice's Stand
Starting Thursday, February 28, The Mail Tribune will
publish a series of articles designed to answer the question,
"Where does Ike stand?" The bulk of the material will be direct
quotes from the private and public utterances of General D wight
D. Eisenhower, arranged by the man who was the General's top
assistant in Washington, at Columbia university and SHAPE
headquarters.
As Supreme Commander Allied Powers Europe, General
Eisenhower has, to date, restricted many of his political opinions
to his personal correspondence and private conversations. It has
remained for Kevin McCann, who was associated with the Gen
eral from 1945 until August 1951, to assemble "Eisenhower's
Political Creed" from these off-the-record sources.
On special occasions, General Eisenhower has touched upon
political questions in his public statements, some of which have
also been incorporated in the articles.
"Eisenhower's Political Creed" will trace the pattern of the
General's thinking, in terms of domestic and foreign policy, from
the close of World War. II to the present. It will outline the chief
elements of Dwight Eisenhower's political philosophy.
Since last' August, McCann has been president of Defiance
college, Ohio. A former industrial engineer and newspaperman,
McCann saw active service in World War II in the Pacific, and
served for many months as assistant to the late Robert P. Patter
son, one-time Secretary of War.
McCann's articles on General Eisenhower will be published
in book form by Doubleday after their aDpearance in The Mail
Tribune.

Sam Rayburn disclosed Monday
he has banned radio and tele
vision broadcasts of House com
mittee hearings. He said the ban
includes shooting movies of such

Shortly after the Texas Demo

inquiry" whether Rayburn was

interpreted these rules as apply
ing to the committees as well as
to the House.

Ham and eggs, ice cream and
pie were on the banquet , menu
and the prison's western swing

Warden Cranor said he decid

MacArthur Favors
Election of Taft,
Friends Declare
Taft Unconcerned
With Mac Rumors
Washington (U.R) Gen.
Douglas MacArthur has person
ally assured Sen. Robert A. Taft
that he favors him for president,
friends of the Ohio senator said
Monday.
They said Taft has accepted
MacArthur's assurances at face
value and therefore is not con
cerned about the growing spec
ulation that the general might
become a candidate for the Re
publican presidential nomination
in his own right
Mae Discourages Moves
While Taft has been campaigning-
intensively for the
nomination, MacArthur has pub
licly discouraged moves to
make him a candidate. Accord
ing to reports here, he has pri
vately endorsed Taft to many
callers, although he has made
no clear-cut public endorse
ment. Among most Republicans here,
MacArthur is viewed as a seri
ous possibility for the nomina
tion primarily in case of a dead
lock between Taft and Eisenhow
er at the nominating convention
next July.
While Eisenhower is at his
military headquarters in Eu
rope, silent on campaign issues,
his supporters are trying to
show that his stand on current
issues is no mystery.
Quotes From Speeches
In a Rollins college speech at
frinicr ruTK, ia., aunaay nigni.
Sen. James H. Duff (R., Pa.)
quoted from Eisenhower
speeches which dealt with war,
peace, civil rights, human free

Duff said the quotations "show
that Eisenhower ia a middle-of-the-roader."
On the other side of the po
litical fence. Sen. Estcs Kefau

candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination, took
another of the thinly-veiled
swipes at President Truman

Sgt Floyd Doland Jr.. Sams

bus Friday night from Japan
with his bride of a year, the first
Japanese war bride to be brought

iceman.
The couple was met at the

Sr. and their daughter, Decnniv
But their jitters were not the
result of any mUgivings. They
had not seen their 22-year-old
son since he was 19 and greeting
a new daughter-in-law for the
first time is a tense experience
for any parents.
Affectionate Greeting
The Dolands had received let
ters and photographs from their
son's bride while she was still in
Japan and all their anxieties
had been pretty well dispelled
by the time she arrived here,
pert and pretty in her chic west
ern clothes. Their greeting was
easy and affectionate.
While they waited at the ter
minal for the storm-delayed bus
Friday nieht Mrs. DoUnd ad
mitted that when she first
learned of her son's marriage to
a Japanese girl she had felt
pangs of doubt and worry. "You
hear so much about things that
can go wrong."
She had immediately told all
her neighbors and friends that

Young Doland had been in

Scouters on 'Survival Hike1
Eat Porcupine, Get Hungry
Eleven senior Boy Scouts and
four leaders returned hungry
and wiser from a two-day sur
vival hike" Sunday. The hike,
first of its kind ever conducted
in Scout Region 11,-was termed
"highly successful."
Idea behind the hike was to
give the boys experience in
methods of obtaining food and
taking care of them elves with a
minimum of , equipment. The
boys will prepare recommenda
tions based on the two-day or
deal, which will be used in later
similar experiments.
Little Equipment Food
The hikers each had warm
clothing, sleeping bags and
knives and hatchets. They also
took a minimum of food, mostly
salt and flour, into the wild
country about eight miles east
of Butte Falls.
The camp was established Fri
day morning in about 18 inches
of snow. The boys and their
leaders succeeded in killing a
c.rcupine during the two days
they were out which was their
principle source of food. '

Raising of Funds
For Airfields Faced
Lisbon, Portugal (U.R) The
North Atlantic Treaty council
Monday asked Sir Oliver Franks,
British ambassador to the United
States, to become its first secre
tary general when the organiza
tion sets up permanent head
quarters to Paris.
The NATO council's first
choice was Canadian External
Affairs minister Lester B. Pear
son. But Pearson replied that he
was not available.
Contacted by Phono
After Pearson declined the
job, Franks was contacted by
telephone in Washington as the
council met to complete its ses
sion here.
After approving a master plan
to give Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower about 50 divisions and
4,000 warplanes by the end of
1952, the NATO council faced
the problem of raising funds to
build west European airfields
and communications.
The United States has offered
to put up 38 per cent of the
$500,000,000 total cost but the
other NATO members are reluc
tant to pay the balance.
A high American source said
the U. S. would make available
seven divisions six Army and
one Marine for west European
defense. However, the Marine
division was expected to remain
in the U. S. unless an emergency
arises.
After the NATO council ad
journs, Big Three representatives
will meet here in special session
Tuesday to give their final ap
proval to West Germany's con
tribution to western def ensa and
perhaps to review the Austrian
treaty problem.
Under the master military
plan announced by NATO's
council of ministers Sunday
night, France would make the
largest contribution to Eisen
hower's forces 12 divisions, in
cluding two in reserve.
Italy would raise 11 divisions,
Belgium and Luxembourg to
gether five, Britain four, and
Canada one. The rest would
come from Norway, Denmark
and the Netherlands.
