Back Stairs: Ike's Book on 'Best' List
By FRANK ELEAZER
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.PJ Chair
man Olin E. Teague' of the
- House Veterans Committee
hoisted a go-slow sign today
against demands for any broad
new benefits for peacetime vet
erans. The Texas Democrat warned
that such a urogram could im
peril what he terms "basic" ben
efits paid to men and, their de
pendents who were injured or
killed in wartime.
Conservative Approach
Teague, in an exclusive inter
' view with United Press, charted
a , new . and conservative ap
proach to veterans legislation.
He did not propose any large
scale repeal ,of existing benefits.
But he said it is time to "re
evaluate" . them, for the future,
in light of changing times and
other programs like social secur
ity, now available to Americans
generally. '
"More and more, Teague as
serted, "we are going to have to
treturn to the basic concept of
:veterans benefits: care of the
.men disabled in service and of
Ithe dependents of men who lost
rtheir lives. "
; "There can be no denying our
iobligation to pay disability com
tpensation to these men and their
'families. There is a problem as
to how far our government
should go in pensions for vet
'erans with no war disability."
Departure From Philosophy
His views represented a con
siderable departure from the
philosophy of some key mem
bers of the veterans committee
in the past. During and since
World War II the emphasis-has
been on a sweemns urogram of
.readjustment" benefits schol
arships, unemployment insur
ance, - loan guarantees to buy
homes, farm and businesses on
which the government has spent
so far almost $20,000,000.
Teague himself played a key
part in passage of the so-called
Korean GI Bill, extending bene
fits of this kind to men in serv
ice between June 27, 1950, and
Feb. 1, this year. ..
There also has been a con
tinuing drive to broaden the
general pension laws.

United Press White House Writer
Washington (U.R) Back
stairs at the White House:
If the book stores have "any
copies left, President Eisenhow
er's "Crusade In Europe" should
zoom back onto the best-seller
lists. It was required re-reading
for most Washington corres
pondents last week, particularly
the concluding chapters in which
the then Gen. Eisenhower de
scribed his World War II rela
tions with the Russians.
Mr. Eisenhower devoted a
good part of one chapter to his
personal knowledge of Marshal
Zhukov, the new Soviet defense
minister.
Mr. Eisenhower admires Zhu
kov not for his Communist be
liefs, but his professional mili
tary ability. K
The President, just after the
end of World War II, told asso
ciates in Germany that he was
amazed by the manner in which
Zhukov had been able to move
tremendous masses of Russian
troops with, nothing like the
transport available to American
and British forces.

cattle models, of course on
the shelf- of an alcove in the
President's office. ,
One of the President's recent
dinner guests was Frank McCar
thy, a producer for the 20th
Century Fox in Hollywood. Mr.
Eisenhower and McCarthy had a
fine evening talking over old
times when McCarthy was an
aide to Gen. George C. Marshall,
and later an .assistant secretary
of state.
Utah Governor Denies Seeking Presidency
Salt Lake City (U.R)
Gov. J. Bracken Lee, has denied
he was interested in the running
for the presidency on a third
party ticket.
Lee said emphatically he
would not accept such a nomin
ation if it were offered. ' ...
The Republican governor,
now serving his second term,
has not disclosed his personal
plans when his term ends in
1956. He said simply he expeets
to continue -his efforts to pre
serve constitutional government.
. Lee said "I didn't fight, the
New Deal 20 years for nothing,"
and added he felt he should still
fight ! against New Deal pro
grams even if they were spon
sored by my own party."
The governor made the com
ment in reply to a statement
from Sen. Wallace F. Bennett
(R-Utah) that Lee was seeking
the presidency as head of ' a
third "splinter" party in 1956.:

After the President's last news
conference when he spoke high
ly of Zhukov as "a well-trained,
splendid military leader," one of
the more cynical of Mr. Eisen
hower's listeners remarked out
side the conference room,
"What's the President up to is
he running Zhukov for office?"
A friend of the President
shook his head sadly. : '..;.
"No, quite the contrary
when they read this in the
Kremlin, Zhukov probably will
be sent to Siberia."
