Ike, Dick and Bill
As Republican minority leader Senator Knowland
of California was "deeply shocked" when Senator
Neuberger in his letter stressing the objections to
President Eisenhower running for a second term,
opined that in their desperation the pro-Eisenhower
fanatics might even resort to drugs if and when their
candidate showed signs of faltering.
WE giant it was an unfortunate choice of words.
But only as leader of his party on the eve of a
presidential campaign was California's senior Sena
tor "shocked." As a member of the party who not
only hopes and prays the General will REFUSE to
run, but is doing everything in his power to make such
action difficult, it is a safe wager Candidate Knowl
and welcomed the Neuberger statement and hopes
the oppsition makes more of them.
For Senator Knowland is not only extremely de
termined, he has one thing in common with Oregon's
junior Senator. They both realize, as probably no
one outside of Washington, D.C. can, the intensity
and almost religious fervor of the demand that "Ike"
put all personal and non-political considerations
aside, and regardless of everything but his duty to
his party and country accept the nomination and thus
insure GOP control for another four years.
They don't believe of course the President would
take any drags to keep going (except on his doctor's
advice), but tney would not put it past xiouse iimiui
ity leader Joe Martin, for example, offering "Ike" a
nitro-giycerine capsule or a benzadrine pill, if on a
speaking tour the President showed signs of distress.
FOR as they see it and close observers in Wash
ington regardless of party agree the "palace
guard" are going to get General Eisenhower to make
the race for a second term or ELSE !
And "or else" to them at least means Republican
defeat.
These ardent and loyal gentlemen put no stock in
Senators Nixon or Knowland, who they are convinced
would be beaten before they got a start. They put
little stock in Chief Justice Warren agreeing to run.
On the most popular Republican President "since
the surrender at Appomatox" they put all stock and
their chips red, white and blue and if they fail to
get him up those stairs to deliver his acceptance
speech, it won't be for lack of trying, and it will be
due to some happenstance most of them don't now
foresee.
TN OTHER words it is "sink or swim, live or die"
slogan with the 100 Eisenhower backers most
of them original Eisenhower supporters against Taft
and they are not only a competent group, but they
have more influence with "Ike" than any political
group in his party.
THIS is the chief reason the Mail Tribune from the
outset, in spite of reports from Washington press
headquarters to the contrary, has believed that bar
ring another heart-attack, President Eisenhower
WILL run for reelection. For as time goes on the pres
sure not from party hacks but from his closest politi
cal friends and most trusted advisors will become so
great that he will ultimately convince himself, we
hplievp lb at. tn refi'isp. In run" would bp. shirking his
duty, surrendering to the
speak, and that to a man 01 the President s military
training and high sense of duty, would be, as the say
ing goes "a fate worse than death."
AS stated another heart attack erny halt in recov
"ery of a serious nature would nullify any sense
of such compulsion and entirely change the picture.
But barring any such improbable and regrettable
turn of events, we believe Senatoi Knowland might
as well adjust himself to the inevitable and abandon
any hope of occupying the White House or getting
close to it for at least another four years. R.W.R.
"The Indispensable Man "
As a postscript to the above, the front-page edi
torial of the New York Herald Tribune pleading for
President Eisenhower to
nilly, supplies only added evidence of the almost hys
terical insistence in GOP upper-echelons that nothing
absolutely nothing prevent "Ike" from leading
his party to a second triumph.
Of course lip-service is paid by the Tribune to the
item of health and personal inclinations, the Tribune
even indicates a certain solicitude and sympathy, but
the editorial as a whole clearly adds up to something
like this:
Unless there should be a. definite set-back in his
recovery between now and the middle of the month
when his final decision is expected, then it is the ines
capable duty of the President to again make the race,
for if he does not then not only the cause of world
peace, but of progressive democracy and continued
well being of the American people will be jeopard
ized. That is the Grand Old Party's official view of the
situation and the Tribune as a semi-official spokes
man of the party is entirely sincere in it.
The President himself more than once has scoffed
at the conception of the "indispensable man."
But not. his dedicated followers.
Ike as far as the Republican party leade'rs are
concerned is the indispensable man, it is either Ike
or. the deluge!
Our guess is they are right. R.W.R.
Truman Lauds Ike's Reply
New Xork (U.R) Former
President Harry S. Truman said
today he thought President
Eisenhower's reply to Russian

"the best thing he's done in for
eign affairs since he's been in

To Bulganin

opinion in answer to a news

plify the remark.
Peace or Real War Now Hangs
In Balance in Isle of Cyprus
By CHARLES M. McCANN j
United Press Correspondent
It looks as if there may be
peace or real war in Cyprus
soon. Great Britain has made
a new propos
al to the is
land's Nation
alists, who de
mand union
with Greece.
The National
ists started
conferring on
it today.
It Is reported
Charles McCann that the pro
posal was made on a take it or
leave it basis an ultimatum, in
fact.
Britain is believed to have
offered the Nationalists a con
siderable measure of self govern
ment, with the right to self,
determination sometime in the
indefinite future.
The alternative to acceptance
is a stern crackdown on terror
ism, probably under a martial
law regime.
Situation Grew Worse
If Britain's offer is accepted,
it will be due to the influence
of black-bearded, 42 - year - old
Archbishop Makarios III of the
Greek Orthodox church. Boston
educated Makarios is the Na
tionalist leader. -
The crackdown, if it comes,
will be made by mild-looking,
mustached Field Marshal Sir
John Harding, 60, governor and
commander in chief.
Riotous anti-British, and anti
American demonstrations broke
out in Cyprus in December,
1954.
The situation has become
steadily worse. It has now en
tered the stage of open terror
ism. Warding put the island
Tinder a state of emergency last
Nov. 26. His action seemed only
to rouse the terrorists to more
violence.
Britain has flown Commandos,
paratroopers, infantrymen and
Scotland Yard anti-terrorist ex
perts to Cyprus. But bombings,
assassinations and riots continue.
Fifteen British soldiers in all
have been killed and scores
wounded.
Harding and ; Makarios held
Matter of Fact ey
DECLINE OF THE WEST?
Washington Behind the meet
ing between President Eisenhow
er and British Prime Minister
Eden, there is
a single, domi
n a n t, all-important
fact
which is the
real theme
and motive of
the talks in
the White
House.
In brief,
Britain is now
in very real
danger of fi
Joseph Alsop
nal, decisive defeat in her cour
ageous struggle to maintain her
standing as a major world power,
second "partner in the Western
alliance and chief ally of the
United States.
The danger arises from Brit
ain's heavy dependence -on what
may be called semi-colonial in
come sources.
This depend
ence has late
ly been ob
scured by Brit
ish slogans like
"export to
live" and
"trade not
aid." The, slo
gans have sug
gested that the
British econo
my no longer
Stewart Alsop
depends upon assets acquired in
the old imperialist days.
But in fact Britain's jugular
vein is not in the busy industrial
midlands or in London's smoky
suburbs. It is still in the Middle
and Far East, and to a lesser
degree in Africa. On the average,
the Middle and Far East togeth
er produce no less than 40 per
cent of Britain's annual hard
currency income.
A SINGLE, highly vulnerable
complex of raw material
sources, the tin mines and rub
ber plantations of Communist
bedevilled Malaya, earn a good
16 per cent of Britain's annual
dollar revenue.
A single obscure individual,
the Sheikh of Kuweit, provides
a substantial proportion of all
the new capital annually avail-
able to the sterling area, by the
simple act or investing his S250,
000,000 a year of oil revenues in
London.
The loss of the British oil in
vestments, in the Middle East
would bring British industry to
a grinding halt, and the rest of
western Europe would be almost
equally hard hit.
These facts mean in turn that
the Communists in Malaya and
the Soviet diplomats and agents
in the Middle East are bodly
probing for Britain's jugular
vein, when they seek' to expel
British influence from these
areas that were once so safely
controlled by British imperial
power.
The margin in Britain is al -
ready so narrow that London is
currently in the grip of an ex-
several secret conferences early
this month. Then Harding iiew
to London to consult the British
Cabinet.
Now he has flown back to
Cyprus with Britain's proposal.
He submitted it in writing to
Makarios Saturday.
There was a flare of hope in
London last week that Makarios
might accept the proposal. That
hope does not seem to be so
strong today.
There also is the question
whether Makarios, great as is
his influence, can control the
Cyprus Nationalists. That ques
tion has arisen several times.
The Nationalist campaign has
been waged by the secret EOKA
Society, the National Organiza
tion of Cypriote Fighters.
This organization was outlaw
ed last Sept. 15. Some of its
members have been arrested.
But its activities continue.
Communist Mayors
There is also a Communist
angle. Harding outlawed the
Cyprus Communist party Dec.
14. It numbers officially only
about 20,000 members. But some
Cyprus cities have Communist
mayors. Continued terrorism
will be helpful to the Reds.
The next week or two should
determine what is going to hap
pen if the result is a peaceful
Gas Tax Exemption
Gels Tentative OK
Washington (U.R) House
Democrats and Republicans vied
with each other for credit for
a bill that woul deexmpt farm
ers from about $60,000,000 a
year in gasoline taxes.
The House tentatively passed
the bill by a voice vote Mon
day. But it postponed complet
ing action until today so more
members could get on record.
Both Democrats and Republi
cans claimed credit for the bill.
President Eisenhower requested
it in his farm message Jan. 9.
The legislation would exempt
farmers from paying federal tax
es on all gasoline used in farm
equipment.
Joe and Stewart Alsop
tremely serious monetary crisis,
in the midst of a business boom.
The loss of almost any of the
assets for which world commu
nism is now so eagerly reaching
out, will quickly -plunge Britain
into virtually irrevocable bank
ruptcy. :
JJO DOUBT all this sounds
' grimly commercial, and with
ugly colonial overtones, too. But
the danger of British bankruptcy
has to be carefully weighed,
none-the-less, for the simple rea
son that British bankruptcy will
not and cannot be a nice, remote,
self-contained proposition. In
Britain, it will force all sorts of
very great changes,, and above
all, it will bring on very great
political changes.
The main political change will
quite inevitably be the one al
ready suggested the forced
abandonment of Britain's long
and costly struggle to maintain
her world power role. For the
United States', moreover, this
change-will have the most prac
tical, far-reaching meaning.
American world policy is
founded upon the Western alli
ance. But the Western alliance
will hardly be likely to survive
the economic and therefore the
strategic collapse of its second
partner. The same may be said
for American policy in Europe,
which is founded upon the more
elaborately defined NATO alli
ance. And the same may indeed
be said for the national defense
of America itself, which is
founded upon a strategic air
command dependent for 80 per
cent of its striking power on
overseas bases controlled by the
Western allies.
IHE first and most important
of SAC's overseas bases the
ones which set the example
when they were built and win
surely set the example again if
they are taken away are the
bases at Burtonwood and else
where in East Anglia. If the Ei
senhower administration decides
to buy true long range striking
power for SAC, of course, the
East Anglian and other overseas
bases will cease to be vital. But
until that day, a collapse in Brit
ain, which can quite possibly
bring Aneurin Bevan to power,
can quite possibly also' mean the
collapse of America's own na
tional defense.
As he goes to the White House,
then, Sir Anthony Eden is men
aced by final defeat, by the in
sidious attacks on. Britain's vul
nerable economic flanks. And
Dwight - D." Eisenhower is also
menaced by something very like
defeat, because of the affect on
the whole American and western
power position of a British col
lapse. This is the context in which
decisions must be taken about
the trouble in the Formosa
Strait, the threat in Southeast
Asia, and above all the danger-
; ous ferment of the Middle East.

agreement, a danger spot will
have been removed from the
Eastern Mediterranean. If it is
to be war, the situation will
become really serious.
in the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
In the dining room of the San
Francisco hostelry in which this
is written, there is a tableful of
Koreans. In stature, they are
short and chunky. Linguistically,
they speak English, easy, idio
matic English. So well grounded
are they in our tongue that they
THINK in English. This is indi
cated by the fact that they use
it in their conversations mnn
themselves, seldom dropping into
uieir own language.
In manner, they are hearty
and cheerful and eive out cm tho
slightest provocation with care-
iree laughs that bubble up from
their lower diaphragms.
.. They are obviously enjoying
WELL, why shouldn't they be
hsnnv?
They are over here learning
by observation of our country
and our government how to run
their country and their govern
ment. And WE are paying the bills.
People the world over are in
clined to be happy a'nd cheerful
when somebody else is picking
up the check.
TUT
Speaking a trifle cynically
1 can t help wondering if they
can learn much tf REAL value
from us about how to run the
affairs of an ancient state like
Korea.
If OREA is old and worn and
exhausted. Extravagant rul
ers nave been milking the people
for taxes for thousands of years
and spending the money on such
trappings of royalty as palaces
and monuments. The poor devils
of Koreans who pay the taxes
are earning their tax monev in
the crudest of ways, with a min
imum of machinery and a maxi
mum of strong back labor.
In Korea, as in all of Asia, the
good things of life are for the
smart people, those who know
how to wangle situations to their
own benefit in other words, the
POLITICIANS. (After all, you
know, kings and emperors and
dictators and such are just smart
politicians.)
Politicians everywhere rirae
tice the trick of bedazzling the
people with the trappings of Big
Government BIG palaces, BIG
parks, BIG DAMS, and so on. All
of them run by Big Government
which means the politicians.
A S THIS old world goes, we're
still young and brash and
new. We're still kind of like the
second generation that inherits a
big farm whose soil was rich and
lushly productive when it was
first homesteaded by some able,
hard-headed, intelligently tight
fisted, practical old realist who
knew how to say NO when some
city slicker tried to sell him
something that was showy and
flashly but on the impractical
side.
I wouldn't go so far as to say
that these old-timers who home
steaded our country didn't often
WANT the things the city slick
ers were trying to sell to them.
They undoubtedly did want
them. But they seldom had
money enough, in the bank to
PAY CASH, and when it was
suggested that they go in debt
for it put it on the cuff, leave
it for future generations to pay,
etc. they just blew up and
showed the city slicker the front
gate.
We of the second generation
have inherited the farm. We
know it's worth a lot of money.
We can't see any good reason
why we can't have what we want
especially in view of the fact
that plenty of people are willing
to lend us a lot of money.
AND-
We're bedazzled by what the
city slickers have to sell.
So we go ahead and put it on
the cuff.
THAT goes for the BIG GOV
ERNMENT the politicians are
persistently selling to us. We're
bedazzled by its bigness, its glit
tering magnificence.
So we buy Big Government
and put it on the cuff. We've al
ready put 280 BILLION DOL
LARS WORTH OF IT on the
cuff.
We're not too unlike the Ko
reans and the other Asians who
for hundreds of generations have
been falling for the bedazzle
ments of the politicians who call
themselves kings and emperors
and dictators and such.
I'm not too sure but what
we're on the wrong track in
bringing these Koreans over
here (at our expense) to learn by
observation of our government
how to run their government.' -I
think maybe it might be bet
ter if we sent envoys over there
to learn by observation what
happens when the people permit
th politicians to run things for
hundreds and hundreds and hun
dreds of years.
I think the lesson, if we heed
ed it, might be very good for us.
Pressure For Control
Of Eavesdropping by
Electronics Mounting
By HELEN B. SHAFFER ,
Washington Technical ad
vances in the delicate art of
snooping have put new pressure
behind demands for legislation
which will effectively ban, or
place under proper safeguards,
the use of mechanical devices
for listening in on private con
versations. Old-fashioned wiretapping is
still the commonest means of
finding out what other people
are saying on -the telephone. But
electronic developments have
produced tiny microphones and
other so-called bugging devices
that can pick up telephone or
other conversations from a dis
tance without detection.
Committeemen Startled
Members of a Hsuse Judiciary
subcommittee were startled, at
hearings last spring, by accounts
of the apparent ease with which
expert snoopers could now in
vade the privacy of homes or
business offices and get awav
with it. The inquiry directed at
tention also to the weakness or
lax enforcement of federal and
state laws for dealing with that
sort of thing.
Because the situation plainly
invited indisciminate eavesdrop-'
ping by blackmailers and extor
tionists, private detectives, and
even law enforcement officers,
the committee evinced determi
nation to draft new and compre
hensive legislation for action by
Congress at the 19o6 session.
Not Now Illegal
The Supreme Court ruled in'
1928 that neither the Fourth
Amendment,' prescribing "un
reasonable searches and seiz
ures," nor the Fifth Amendment,
barring forced self-discrimination,
outlawed wiretapping. The
Federal Communications Act of
1934 then made it a federal of
fense for anyone to "intercept
Wright Brothers'
Engine Builder Dies
San Fernando Calif. '(U.R)
Complications of an asthmatic
condition were listed tentatively
today as the cause of death to
inventor Charles Edward Tay
lor, who built the engine for
the Wright brothers' famed
Kitty Hawk airplane.
Taylor, who had been under
the "complete care" of the Air
craft Industries association be
cause of his low income, died
unexpectedly last night at Foot
hill sanitarium. He was 87.
The aged inventor built the
first successful airplane engine
in 1902 after aviation's famed
brothers, Orville and Wilbur
Wright, decided to ' put power
into one of their history-making
gliders. :
Taylor had been existing on
a pension of only : $800 a year
left to him in a fund by Orville
Wright until the AIA came to
his assistance recently when it
was, disclosed the inventor was
in financial stress.
Lew Wallace Demands
Pearson Retraction
Portland (U.R) Oregon
Democratic leader Lew Wallace
said today he had demanded a
retraction of statements by Col
umnist Drew Pearson regarding
the Al Sarena mining claims.
Wallace, former national com
mitteeman, state senator and
gubernatorial nominee for his
party, wrote Pearson that he
must either correct his "totally
wrong" statements about Wal
lace's position in the Ai Sarena
case or Wallace would "seek
other means to correct those
false statements."
Pearson had said that Wallace

any communication and divulge
or publish" its contents.
According to the Justice De- -partment,
however, the offense
is not interception alone or dis
closure alone; there must be
both interception and disclosure.
As a result, wiretapping appar
ently is lawful, but the informa
tion as obtained cannot be used
as evidence against a defendant
in federal courts.
Used By FBI
The FBI makes no bones of the
fact that its agents tap wires to
keep track of the doings of per
sons suspected of criminal activi
ties. But when the Justice De
partment relied on wiretap evi
dence five years ago to prosecute
Judith Coplin, the U.S. Court of
Appeals freed the defendant
after she had been convicted in
a lower court.
Wiretapping is regarded as so
valuable a weapon of law en
forcement in national security
cases that the Justice Depart
ment has long pressed for re
vision of the 1934 act to allow
use, in the trial of such cases, of l
evidence obtained by official
eavesdropping. A Senate Judi
ciary subcommittee also came
out recently for admission of
wiretap evidence in narcotics
cases.
Judge's Authorization
The House two years ago pass
ed an administration bill to au
thorize us of wiretap evidence
in cases affecting national se
curity. However, it amended the
bill to require a government in
vestigator, before placing a tap,
to prove to a federal judge that
the eavesdropping was necessary
to apprehend and convict the
criminal; only wiretap evidence
obtained by written authoriza
tion of the judge would be ad
missible.
The 1954 bill did not come to
a vote in the Senate. Attorney
General Herbert Brownell was
reported to prefer no legislation
to a law requiring court authori
zation. .Although considering
that procedure too cumbersome,
he favored a requirement for au
thorization by the Attorney Gen
eral in each case.
Loosely Drawn Laws
There are numerous $tate
laws prohibiting wiretapping,
but many of the statutes are '
loosely drawn. Several states
specifically authorize use of
wiretap information on the order
j of a court. In general, local po
lice are considerably freer than
federal law enforcement officers
to resort to wiretapping.
Moves are now under way to
tighten state wiretapping laws.
Shocked by disclosure a year ago
of the operation by private de
tectives of a large wiretapping
establishment in midtown . lfn
hattan, the New York le ja
ture set up a joint cGmmitte'eFto
investigate such practices and
the government sponsored . a
sweeping investigation of all de
tective agencies in the state.

think about. Yet only two cate
gories of people can afford to
disregard such a contingency
those who have no dependents
and those who have roads,
through life assurance, sufficient
provision for their loved ones
against the chance of untimely
death. If you cannot conscien
tiously claim to be in either of
these categories drop me a line
telephone.
