The United States has, indeed, aliowed its mer- chant marine to sink to a dangerous low. Hoyt saic |the necessity of subsidy to keep American-flag ships on the seas must be faced. This nation, as a matter of fact, has no sound or long-range merchant marinc policy. More influential advocates of such a policy like Hoyt, are needed to mould public opinion in thi behalf. A (W. O.

So Mr. Truman, determined not to be a political “accident” and de- termined to vindicate himself at the polls, stewed mentally over means of taking Eisenhower out of the race. George Alfen was optimistic. He agreed to leave the next day for New York, promised to come back with a letter from the general guar- anteeing that he would not run. Allen did not think there would be much trouble about it. Others were not so optimistic. Finally it was agreed to telephone Milton Eisenhower, then president of Kansas State University, now president of Penn State, and form- erly and adviser in the Truman administration. This was done. Milton assured the President’s emissary that his brother was not going to run. Immediately thereafter George Allen confirmed this by getting a definite public statement from the general. MILTON IN REVERSE Today, however, Milton Eisenhow- er has not given the Democrats a similar assurance. On the con- trary he has privately told Senator Jim Duff of Pennsylvania, chief Eisenhower booster, that his brother will run—and on the Republican ticket. President Truman has known this for some time. One way he knew it was an indication from his friend and Ike's friend George Allen. For early last summer, the President invited George aboard the President- ial yacht Williamsburg and had a friendly talk about the world picture and Eisenhower. Among other things, Truman teld Allen that he considered the North Atlantic Pact one of the most im- portant cornerstones for world peace, and that Eisenhower’s leadership was essential - to it. In fact, he praised Eisenhower as one of the most constructive forces in Europe But he added that he was worried by Republican statements that they had assurances Tke was available for the GOP nomination; and he felt that both the United States and our allies should know whether Ike was running the North Atlantic Pact or running for President. Truman suggested that the two were not compatible and that every move the general made in Paris would become a political issue back home if people felt he was a candi- date. 5 IKE AS A DEMOCRAT However, if Eisenhower really want to run—unless Taft was the | wanted to be President, Truman told| GOP candidate, in which case he | | George Alfén that hewould bemuch’ would‘Be ‘sorely fempted.

She's one of the most wholesome and winsome little girls I've ever met.” N/ \ 7 7, (N /, MERRY-GO-ROUND nce the Vatican apmfmment, many political observers are now swinging round to the view that Truman does not want to run for a third term. .
