O This nostalgic tQme of United States military legend will stir the minds of his countrymen when Dwight D. Elsenhower retires f rorro the presidency Jan. 20 andcre sumes.his identity as the be loved general pf World War II fame. The event will evoke mem ories of the all-time great among the United States' gen erals, admirals and air com manders who directed the struggle for freedom from 1941 through 1945. It is not expected that Eis enhower will "fade away" from public life after he leaves the White House, but he will no longer be the con stitutional commander - in -chieftif the armed forces. The image of "Ike" in the public mind will revert to D-Day and his command of victor ious a'tfnies in Europe. Many of Eisenhower's fam ed American associates in World g'ar II have died., oth ers have faded from public adulation i& their years of retirement. Among the celebrated Unit ed States commanders in World War II who still live, those r st vividly remem bered are Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, Gen. OmarTJradley, Gen. Mark Clark, and Adm. Chester W. Nimitz. .

He now lives in New York and has been en gaged in private business ac tivities since 195 Hero's Welcome President Truman relieved MacArthjir of his military commands in April, 1951. The general returned to Washing ton for a "hero's welcome". In a farewell speech to Congress he recalled a popular song of his early military days and then concluded: "And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who merit company in New YorKTramed to do his duty as God gavWfor his campaigns in Sicily, him the light to see that duty. Goodbye." Adm. Nimitz. commander- tta-ehief of the United States Pacific Fleet from December, 1941, to November, 1945, continued post-war service as chief of naval operations until 1947. He now lives on a Berkeley, Calif., hillside, where the sunsets across the Pacific are a reminder of his brilliant feats of command in that ocean. Gen. Bradley now is the executive of a watyninaking Normandy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany, (hj continued in the military service after the war. He was chief of staff of the United States A8ny in 1948-49 and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1949 to Gen.

Penney'i Metianine Floor 20s Teacher Says Ike Confused By Desegregation : New York (Science Service) President Eisenhower lacks understanding and is con fused' on the subject of de segregation, Dr. Kenneth B. Clark of the City Colleger of New York, charged here. When the president talks about "the need for time" and states that we cannot hope "to change mens hearts and minds overnight," he obvious ly la confusing desegregation an objective social, legal and political process - with integration - a subjective psychological and attitudinal process, the New York psy chologist said. "Integration cannot be co erced by law," Clark" told the American Association for the Advancement of Science meet ing here, "but there can, bo no integration before desegre gation." Concrete Slept He urged that concreta steps be taken to desegregate whites and negroes. He was supported in these views by Dr, Stella Chess, associate clinical professor of psychia try at New York Medical College and a praclicftig psy choanalyst. . ' ! ' "Changes In behavior hnd life experiences may have to precede the changes In atti tudes, feelings and concept," Dr. Chess said. On the basis of clinical ex periences, she questioned the validity of the frequently stated justification for delay ing or postponing action ,011 te Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation tliat people's attitudes first must change. 0 "Psychiatric experlc nco would suggest that, if. a change in the pattern of de segregation is not first -developed, then the fixed preju dices may never chanRe be cause of their continual reln fsfecment by the life ex periences Involved in segrega tion," Dr. Chess iid. q WATER (TRAFFIC ', Chicagtf -IUPII- Although It is an inland city, ChUy-goQ.an-dies more wnter-borTie traffic than the Panai canal in one year, accorifvg lo studies ot the NatlonarGeographiC So. clety.
