Solons Seek To Restore Ike To Five-Star Rank Norfolk To Get MacArthur Mementos IIKRALD AND NEWS. Klamalh Falls. Ort. WASHINGTON (AP)-Congres- tlonal leaders are working quiet ly on a plan to restore President Eisenhower to his (ive-star gen eral rank soon after he leaves the Nixon Will Practice Law, Also WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Richard M. Nixon is getting set to practice politics, as well as law,' when he goes back to California, after his term ends Jan. 20. Nixon, defeated for the presiden cy by a whisker, wants another shot at the prize In 1964. In the Intervening time he is going to do everything possible to convince the Republican party it ought to give him another chance. This will involve the mainte nance of close contacts with Re publican leaders in all sections of the nation. It will include speeches; public appearances and state ments on national issues in his role as titular head of the party. Beyond that, Nixon proposes to campaign vigorously for Republi can candidates for the Senate and House in 1962. He figures if he can help Republicans win two years from now, he will broaden the base of his strength in bid ding for a second nomination in 1964. Because of the strong showing the vice president made in losing' the election to Democratic Sen. John F. Kennedy by a popular vote margin of only about 112,000 ballots. Nixon believes he has a reservoir of built-in support among GOP Senate and House members elected this year. Nixon's associates say the vice president carried 228 congression al districts to Kennedy's 206, with Independent electors winning 3 in Mississippi, As of now, Nixon prefers cam paigning for a Republican Con gress to getting into the race for governor in California. He has not closed the door on that possi bility. 'Several factors are involved on both sides of this unsettled ques tion. If he runs for governor, all of his campaigning will have to be in California and he will lose con tacts with Republicans in other areas. , ' If he should run and be defeat ed, either in the primary or the general election, his political ca reer would be over. ' If he ran, Democrats would be certain to say he was seeking the governorship as a stepping stone to another presidential race. He would be questioned repeatedly if he intended to serve out a four year term. ' - . On the other hand, there are come who believe Nixon could be come the forgotten man by 1964 if Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller is! reelected in New York in 1962. "These strategists argue that Nixon will need a position rival ing Rockefeller's and could get it only by going after and winning the California governorship back from the Democrats. White House on Jan. 20. They conceded privately that some opposition may arise be cause, as a former nresirirnt h also will be eligible for a $25,000 annual pension and office ex penses of up to $50,000. Restored 'ante would pay $20,548 a year. A special act of Coneress unnlrf be required to restore the rank because Eisenhower resigned his permanent five-star commission in 1952 when he was first nomi nated by the Republicans. Sponsors of the move to reslnre the rank point out that there are precedents for drawing two gov ernment retirement awards. Some civilian government workers have qualified for retirement after be coming eligible for military retire ment- pay. After World War II, Congress aDDroved an art thai rolainoH nil five-star generals and admirals I on active pay and duty as long as tney lived. They also may have two military aides and office space in the Pentagon or else where if they wish. Eisenhower derided In forfeit this tfhen he entered the political arena as a presidential candidate. Former President Harrv S Trn. man was the first former chief executive to receive the sne. cial presidential pension. Former President Herbert .Hoover de clined the payments. Only three other five-star per manent officers of World War II now survive. They are Gens. Douglas MacAMhur and Omar Bradley and Adm. Chester W. Nimitz. Congressional leaders of both parties are expected to cooperate in the sneeial legislation tn rp. store Eisenhower's former mili tary and pay status. They expect to sound out sentiment in both the Senate and House before making a public move. NORFOLK, Va. (AP)-Gcneral of the Army Douglas MacArthur has accepted an invitation from the city of Norfolk for the estab lishment of a memorial that will house his personal papers and war mementos. , The city hopes to have v Mac- Arthur on hand to dedicate the memorial within nine months to a year. It plans to spend nearly a half million dollars lor tne ren ovation of its 111-year-old court house, soon to be vacated. It also has tentative plans to landscape the courthouse block and rename it "MacArthur Square." In agreeing to let the site of the world's largest navy base be the home for his personal memora bilia. MacArthur requested that he and his wife be buried here presumably within the memorial, which will feature a rotunda domi nated by a statue of MacArthur surrounded by his 126 battle flags. The city's plans were presented to MacArthur in New York in No vember by Mayor W. Fred Duck worth and councilman Roy B. Martin, who cited the Army's most decorated general's "strong ties" with the port city. . i "These ties included the fact that his mother was born, reared and married here, and that he had become our first honorary citizen, that such a memorial would easily become the city's No. 1 attraction, and that our centrally located courthouse soon would be available," Duckworth said. MacArthur was presented the city's first certificate of honorary citizen when he came here Nov. 18, 1951, for the opening of a me morial to his mother, the late Mary Pinckney Hardy MacArthur. "As a Virginian myself, whose mother came from a long line of Virginians and whose mother and father were married in the pres ent city of Norfolk," said Mac- Arthur, "I accept as a great hon or the invitation of the city to place my papers, decorations and other mementos of my military service in its perpetual care and keeping." MacArthur's long-time friend. Ma, Gen. Courtney Whitney (ret.), has offered his services to the city in assisting with project. Whitney is MacArthur's biogra pher and served as his chief of staff.
