Eisenhower To Lean Heavily on Humphrey in Malcina ImDortant Decision 5 Confidence Gained In Treasury Man Early in Regime By LYLE C. WILSON 5 - United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Dwight David Eisenhower and George Magoffin Humphrey will examine all of the facts and come up with the answer. They flew south Wednes day to Thomas- ville, Ga., for a week or 10 days at Hump hrey's planta Lyle C. Wilson tion which, in fact, is more shooting preserve than farm. President Eisenhower wants the time and privacy to make - the great decision on which his life may depend. None here was surprised that he chose Humphrey as his com' panion on whr.t must be a lonely holiday, at best. To get a feeling for the sturdy confidence Mr, Eisenhower has in his secretary of treasary, you must go back to the second maybe the third cabinet meeting of the Eisen hower administration. It was the first week of February, 1953. Mr. Eisenhower had been in of fice about a fortnight, fresh from a presidential campaign in which he sometimes appeared baffled by the complexities of domestic issues which confront ed him. The general-turned-poli- ucian naa mucn confidence in his own judgment of national de fense and foreign policy matters In Friends' Hands Witness his bold campaign de cision to hurry to Korea if elect ed. On many domestic questions, however, the new President was in the hands of his friends. They knew and he didn't ; So it was at that early cabi net meeting which , discussed wage-price controls. Humphrey was the financial man, the eco nomist of the cabinet circle. President and cabinet were re sponsive to his views that the control structure should be scrapped. And it was so ordered. When the cabinet rose that day the President obviously still was pondering its decisions Ap proaching Humphrey, Mr. Eisen hower laid a hand on his should er, paused for a moment, ) and said: '. . . ; "George, I hope to heaven you know what you are doing." The President has come a long way since then. He gives his own judgment of domestic af fairs good marks now and is not afraid to back it. But with the chips down, it is Humphrey with whom he trav eled South to make his vital de cision. It is fair to assume that Mr. Eisenhower sees Humphrey as others in Washington see him as the cabinet's strongest man. That is not faint praise, either, because the Eisenhower, cabinet is strong, comparatively speak ing. : There is no log cabin in Humphrey's past. He was grad uated by the University of Mich igan in. law in 1912. Six years later he was general attorney for the widespread interests of the M. H. Hanna Co., Cleveland, O.; president in 1929; chairman of the board in 1952. He was chairman, executive committee member or director of many large corporations before join ing the cabinet. In politics he was a Taft man. Humphrey quit all of those jobs on taking pub lic office. . He will be 65 years old next month and wants to quit, but won't if Mr. Eisenhower runs again. After his family, Humph rey is proudest of the fact that the U.S. dollar has become rel atively stable during his treas ury service.

Rathbone Plays Lead . In the old days Lugosi was the star, the mad scientist who stirred bubbling concoctions but on this set Basil Rathbone is playing the looney doctor. Lon Chaney, John Carradine and Akim Tamiroff also are in "The Black Sleep." Lugosi plays Rath bone's butler, a mute servant "who just lets people in . and out." ; : "There is Basil playing my part" Lugosi said as we' stood on the set. "I used to be the big cheese. I have no dialogue be cause I was a bit worried whether I could do justice to the expectations. I'm still recup erating." - On the gloomy set, Rathbone was reviving a man in the cof fin. But' I shivered more from the ' off-screen horror story Lugosi told me. ; . ' Habit Described ' , "I began using narcotics to kill the pain of sciatica," he said. "Finally the doctor said I used so much I would die in - six months if I didn't stop. ' "I couldn't afford the sani tarium. The only solution was to volunteer to enter the county hospital. There was ;no sense in trying to hide my problem The cure was very painful, ter rible.". " ; : ' On the movie set, old friends came up to shake Lugosi's hand on his first day back at work. The cast presented him with a black leather script book. "I was once nice to them. It all comes back to you," the actor said. He wiped his eyes and walked slowly from the set out into the sun. - Contracts Discussed By TD Directors Contract arrangements . be tween Talent Irrigation district and the U.

As We Live Don't' Try to Win Back Boy Who Calls It Quits There is no way to get a boy back when he says he is through. Hoping that he will change his mind is likely to be in vain. . (Q) "I started to go with a boy three months ago. He told me on our first date that he had been going steady .with a girl he had known for two years but they had a quarrel and broke up. He .said he was lone ly and wanted a girl dale. I fell in . Dr. Hurlock witn'lum and I thought he was in love with me. Last night, we had . a date but he didn't show up. I called him this morning to ask him what happened and he told me he made up with his old girl friend and wanted to call it quits with me. How can I get him back? I am sure he must like me or why would he have spent so much time with me?" ;-. ..' . - ' T-D-: (A) I doubt very much if you can get this boy back and I ad vise you not to try.

Such quar rels usually are only temporary and come to ah end.- sooner or later. You , played your v, cards the best you knew hpw but the other girl had the edge and won. Made It Clear While this boy unquestionably liked you and enjoyed your com panionship, he has made it very clear to you that he likes the other girl better and prefers her companionship to yours. Other wise, he would not have told you point-blank that he was through with you. . Of course you cannot; forget this boy overnight or . the good times you have had . together. But,- you would be very foolish to sit around and wait for him to come back to you or to try to get him away from the other girl. Even if he had another quar rel with this girl and came back to you, you would know you could expect a repetition of what you have just had. Instead of wasting your time trying tdj win him back, you- will do better to try to find someone else to have fun with. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.)
