Dwight D, Eisenhower will support Sen. Joseph R. Mc- | Carthy. Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney of Oklahoma issued this statement after Sen. Karl Mundt of South Dakota said on a radio.program (MBS) Thursday night that Eisen- hower will “endorse and campaign actively” for McCarthy if the lat- ter is renominated by Wisconsin Republicans and if he asks for Eisenhower's help. “ Mundt is co-chairman of the Re- publican campaign speakers’ bu- reau. On the radio program, Mundt also said that Eisenhower, the GOP campaign for Sens. James P. Kem of Missouri, William E. Jenner of Indiana and John W. Bricker of Ohio, Republicans who have not shared Eisenhower’s foreign policy views. . Monroney said he finds it im- to believe that Eisenhower would appear on the same. plat- form with MeCarthy because of the latter’s attacks on Gen. George C. Marshall, who helped Eisenhow- @r attain his five-star general’s Yank. * The Oklahoma senator noted that fn a Senate 5 McCarthy had accused Ma: of participating Presidential Race By The Associated Press Pre-campaign comments by both Gen.

Eisenhower, the Republican pres- idential nominee, talking with GOP leaders of seven Western states ‘Thursday in Kansas City, made two remarks which raised a ques- tion whether he might’ get kick- backs within his own party. They ‘were: 1. Although the Korean conflict was caused by “terrible blunders” by the present administration, he said, this country had no choice » but to intervene. We might be much worse off now if we hadn't acted as we did, he added. lany Republicans contend that tion “blunders” touched the invasion of South Korea, but isa: sharply on the soundness of American intervention. 2.\An attack on Red China, Ei- senhoweér said, would mean start- ing another war far more terrible than the one now going on.~ On this point, he seemed to take direct issue with Gen.

Mundt hasn’t read this scurrilous attack on Gen. Ei- senhower’s friend and sponsor or he fails to grant to his candidate any of the human loyalties of a friend for a friend,” Monroney said. “It is incredible that Gen. Eisen- hower can embrace McCarthy, the author of this attack upon a great American. Gen. Eisenhower knows better than anyone else of Gen. Marshall’s great service and pa- triotism to his country.” Monroney said ‘‘mere silence on Gen. Eisenhower’s part will not absolve him from responsibility for Sen. Mundt’s remarks.” Mundt, a member of the Repub- lican senatorial campaign commit- tee, said he assumed McCarthy will be renominated and when he is Eisenhower, if invited, will go into Wisconsin and give him his “active support.” “Gen. Eisenhower has said he is not going to discuss his philos- ophies in. terms of personalities,” Mundt said. “He is a Republican and the people of every state are going to nominate their own choice as they should under the American doctrine and he will support the team, him.” A Letter From Bill Lant Dear Neighbor: Since returning to South Florida your Representative has had the opportunity to give a brief report of the 82nd.Congress over the radio and to many of the civic organ- vizations of this area. Anyone watching television, lis- tening to the radio or reading our newspapers knows that the 82nd Congress spent much of its time “sleuthing” and refused to enact most of the so-called “Fair Deal” legislation advocated by the Presi- dent. This Sherlock Holmes business made banner headlines and re- ceived all the fanfare accorded sen- sationalism. In many instances it achieved its purpose in turning up scandals in both major parties and resulted in government firings. At the same time; however, it kept most Members of Congress away from their law-making duties. When the second session of the 82nd Congress adjourned on Jyly 7, 1952, some five hundred and sixty-six bills had been enacted in- to law. As a means of comparison, during the 82nd Congress which sworn in on January 3, 1951, over 8000 public and private bills were introduced. According to the records of this Congress, the House of Represen- tatives spent a major portion of their legislative time working on appropriation bills. It was in this phase that the so-called “Economy Bloc” succeeded in cutting nearly ten billion dollars from the Presi- dent’s budget request of 83 billion. Now,I know jit is hard to ap- preciate just how much a billion dollars is, but by the budget cuts that were made our “Economy Bloc” in Congress the taxpayers will be saved 27 million dollars a day for the next year. Even though this billion and quarter dollars an hour savings to the tax- payer was effected in the Congress, oug budget still remains the largest peacetime budget in history. facial expression—that he doesn't like some of the things Stevenson | ba: and done. | ve a ¢risp “no comment” Why this large budget?

Eisenhower By OVID A. MARTIN WASHINGTON — Farmers may find little difference in the views of the two major presiden- tial candidates on the question of commodities, Statements made by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican nominee, and Goy. Adlai E. Ste- venson, the Democratic Standard bearer, at news conferences Thurs- day indicated that their positions on this issue, when finally out- lined, may be quite similar, Eisenhower, at Kansas City, said in reply to a query that if he were elected there would be no tamper- ing with the price support law. He said he had received no suggestions that supports be lowered. Stevenson ruled out the contro- | versial Brannan plan which Eisen- hower and the GOP national plat- ! form had sought to tie to the Dem- ocrats. The Illinois governor at Minocqua, Wis., said in effect that the Republicans, in trying to make the Brannan plan an issue, were barking up the wrong tree. He said this plan was obsolete, that it had not been endorsed by his party’s platform or recommended by its candidates. Thus the statements of the rival candidates were open to the in- terpretation that both endorse the existing farm price support law. This law requires that basic crops—wheat, corn, cotton, tobac- co, rice and peanuts—be supported at not less than 90 per cent of par- PSEA R A THREE HOTELS IN MIAMI *: ity—the level in effect this year— during the next two crop years. It was passed shortly before Con- gress adjourned last month, with the approval of Democrats and Republicans alike. It has the ef- fect of setting aside, for the next two years, a system of flexible supports which had been criticized by President Truman and Secre- tary of Agriculture Brannan. The Democratic platform prom- ises to “continue” the 90 per cent minimum supports beyond the two- year period. Eisenhower’s state- ment that there would be no re- duction in price supports could be interpreted as meaning that he too would advocate their continuance. Parity is,a standard for meas- uring farm prices, declared by law to be equally fair to producers and to those who buy their products. The Brannan plan, which was first outlined by the secretary of agriculture in 1949, would broaden the federal government’s activities in agriculture. It would set up a system of high, rigid price supports and would extend such supports to many products not now covered. It would extend government power to restrict production of many products not.now subject to re- striction. It also would make broad- er use of subsidies to assure farm- ers “fair” returns for perishable commodities, at POPULAR PRICES Lecated in the Heart of the City RATES REASONABLE WRITE or WIRE for RESERVATIONS with BATH and TELEPHONE Ritz Pershing Miller Hotel 132 &.

Twelve died within the last week. Doctors are powerless to check the disease. There is no known vaccine for humans. The only hope is to kill off the mosquitos. Hundreds of men are spraying 276 towns in the valley lowlands and then laying down quarter-mile-wide barriers of poi- son residue spray around them.

They are the first to have low speed stability required for landing in limited ‘space, along with the high speed capability that swept- back wings provide. The fourth is the twin-engine, straight-wing F2H-3, a new model of the McDonnel Banshee, All are faster, more maneuver- able and more powerful than types now in use. The planes were given carrier suitability tests aboard the U. S. S. Midway off Norfolk, Va., Monday through Friday last week. The Navy is evaluating the per- formance reports to determine the extent to which the four will be ordered into production. The FJ-2, known as the “Blue F-86” already is in production at the North American Aviation plant, Columbus, Ohio. It is a development of the FJ-1, the Navy's first operational jet. The Air Force took that plane over, swept it wings and made it a better craft, the now famous F-86. In the FJ-2, the Navy has “‘re- captured” the plane, mounted. it with 20 millimeter cannon instead of the Air Force’s 50-caliber, and beefed it up for carrier operations. It is in the 650-mile-an-hour class, more than 100 miles an hour faster than the FJ-1, and has a service ceiling .of 45,000 feet compared with 38,200 for the Navy’s first jet fos The Grumman Cougar is a swept- back adaptation of the Panther, which has seen action in Korea. The F7U-3 is a delta-wing, better- than-650-miles an hour development of the Cutlass, which never was ordered into production.
