And why was the co.conspirator not gonvicted? By its very defMnition, conspiracy s an agree- ment between two or more persons to commit an evil act together or to effect a legal purpose by unlawful means. It is patently impossible for one to conspire with himself or to enter into agreements, lawful or unlawful, without another party. Without going into the merits of the government’s case against the coal men, we wonder how such a verdjct got past a United States district judge. Seems to us, that, with five defendants in a conspiracy trial, the outcome must necessarily be five acquittals or at ¥east two convictions.

In- stead, Truman gave the impression that he was disturbed over some- thing that had passed between him; and Eisenhower. Several of those pres soultin’t -~ help but - wender whether Ike had disclosed he plan- ned to run on the GOP ticket. The meeting convened in the cakinet room, and started with the usual pleasantries. President Tru- man beckoned Eisenhower to the seat Vice President Barkley usually occupies. “You sit here where Mr. Barkley usually sits,” directed the President. “That is a pretty good job,” grin- ned Ike This w at Ike’s White House ambitions, and got a laugh from the group. Except for this brief banter, how- ever, the meeting was right to the point and lasted less than an hour. It was chiefly a general summary of the talks that had been going |talked on in the Pentagon earlier that day. Eisenhower presented his case in general terms. He outlined his plan for building a minute-man force by the end of 1952, rather than con- tinuing the preseny long-range, European mobilization program not scheduled for completion till the end of 1954. In explaining the need for a change Eisenhower dwelt chiefly on his needs in Europe and the lagging military shipments from this country. European military pro-! duction is far behind schedule, he reported, and our North Atlantic allies are using our retarded ship- ments as an excuse not to meet their own commitments. FOR DELAY REASO!

However, Secretary of the Navy Kimball thought he might be able to spare one Marine air wing for Europe. Eisenhower also complained that an armored division had been prom- ised him, but still hadn't been ship- ed. Secretary of the Army Pace and Chief of Staff Collins replied blunt- ly that they don't have certain types of equipment to spare. Only conflict at the White House meeting occurred between Eisen- hower and Chief Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson, and it was minor.

Two or three times Ike complain- ed that the United States was way behind in its commitments in both SUMMARY OF IKE'S PROBLEMS The White House meeting was a digest of the previous Pentagon talks, a show window for the Pre- sident. Everyone recited, for the President’s benefit, what they had already discussed earlier in the! day. While no decisions were made, all problems were throroughly aired. Here are some that came up: 1. Most important, Eisenhower’s speed-up plan calls ont only for more equipment, but also more manpower from this country. This, however, would be a stopgap plan to hold the fort until Europe could mobilize fully. 2. Whereas we have been talking in terms of 60 divisions in Europe by the end of 1954, Eisenhower in terms of 20 divisions by the end of 1952. He plans to have 16 divisions by the end of January and he indicated that he could or- ganize and train 30 divisions by the end of '52—if he could get the equipment,. ' 3. Eisenhower’s biggest problem has been getting Europe’s own mili- tary production rolling. Reason is that the North Atlantic countries prefer to manufacture civilian goods and bolster their civilian economics. There is a growing attitude in Eu- rope that we are not doing Europe any favor by sending military aid, but are only preparing our own defenses by making Europe the front line. 4 Hints also came to the surface of a controversy between Eisen- hower, the military commander, and Harriman, the new civilian adminis- trator, over who should allocate ¢s taking the saying which much. responsibility for country gets how and equipment.

IKE MERRY-GO-ROUND \ | The nation's top newsmen, who| covered General Eisenhower's visit, were red-iaced over his unexpected stop-over in New York City before taking of for Europe. They had al- ready written that he was winging his way across the Atlantic when he suddenly showed up at New York’s La Guardia Field. Actually, Eisenhower had planned all along to stop at La Guardia Field, so his wife could pick up some personal belongings from their New York home. . .Eisenhower’s escort offer- ed to slip him in and out the back way of Washington offices ln ,order to avoid photographers. How- ever, he replied that he didn't wnnt to “disappoint the boys” and shov-\ ed his way through the press mob. At the White House, all other digni. taries slipped out a side entrance— except Eisenhower.
