IKE THINKS TRIP. HELPED General Eisenhower has told his friends that he be- lieves the trip he made to Korea and the Far East was a great help to him. The trip probably helped Eisenhower more than it did prospects for an immediate cease-fire, but in the end the two amount to the same thing. Ike returned with no formula for suddenly ending the wrr, although he is going to try to do just that. He has said that he sincerely believes that the final solution of the Korean thorn was speeded by his trip—and this may well be true, in view of the added knowledge and informa- tion gained by the man who must direct the national effort in Korea for the next four years, A DELICATE DECISION -The Supreme Court admittedly has a delicate issue to decide in determining whether all separation of the aces is unconstitutional. In the eleven old Confederate States and more than half a dozen others, some sort of Segregated policy is observed in the schools, or some of the schools, in the case argued before the Supreme Court in December, the school practices in Washington, D. C. (the national capital) and Kansas were involved, as well as those in several Southern states. . In recent years the Supreme Court has ordered an end to segregated policy in graduate colleges of various States, has ended segregation of the races in railroad travel, and has broken down other ragial lines of separa- tion, But the most widespread and involved case of all is now pending before the highest court. The latest decision of the court, on this issue, was that provided the facilities were equal, separation (if set as lo- cal policy in states or districts) was not necessarily uncon- stitutional. This decision eame some sixty-odd years ago. In April or May, most probably, the highest court will again rule on this question. It will be a vital decision which might even effect the nature of school systems in several states. Whatever the decision, the justices will be held ac- countable, and if the vote is broken down and announced individually, each justice will get his share of condemna- tion from the losing side. Of all the civil rights decisions in recent years this is the most closely watched. The United States is indeed about to witness a historic social decision by its highest court.

DESERVES PRAISE Editor, The Citizen: I am sure that those who know the work of the “Lady Police- man,” of Poinciana will agree that she is certainly worthy of praise, and doing a fine job. She is traffic director on the very busy corner, near the Sta- dium and school. But as I see it, she is not just another traffic director, she is saving the lives of the children, Every mother’s heart must go out to her, as they see how well she is doing her sehool day job. She is ‘pleasant, but firm; and the children not only obey her, but love her. She is quick as a flash to see when aid is needed, and works in a straight forward “manly” way. I am = sure that the passing motorists must ad- mire her work, also. I live at 161 G Poinciana, and greatly enjoy watchirg her per- form her duty. “May her tribe in- crease!” Carrie M. Nichols CHRISTMAS HEARTBREAK Editor, The Citizen: To those who believe that Christ- is is only for the children let me tell you how mistaken you are. This was the saddest Christmas I've ever known because I saw a dear old man with a broken heart. Many friends and neighbors sent him cards and gifts but his own remembered him not. Each gift that arrived made his sad eyes light up, being hopeful that his children had sent them. His grandchildren stopped by to show him the costly gifts they had received and to tell him about their beautifully decorated Christ- mas trees. When all these nice gifts were ordered for the wee ones and the teen-agers, why oh why could not something have been purchased for the dear old grandfather? Or per- haps a little money laid aside to Or why, when they took their ride through the town to see the gaily lighted windows, could they not have stopped one moment at his home to say, “God bless you, daddy, and a merry, merry Christ- mas.” This dear old man has served his family faithfully and well throughout the years. From his meager pension he gave each and everyone of them a gift He received nothing in return!

ARROWSMITH NEW YORK (#—President-elect Eisenhower's aides say he is dedi- cated to achieverment of durable world peace with honor but is wary of being hoodwinked by the Rus- sians at any conference with Pre- mier Stalin. That is the way the general’s aides privately are summing up the general’s position on Stalin’s stated interest in ending the Ko- rean War and his indicated wil- lingness to confer with Eisenhower in a move to ease world tension. The. general reportedly will in- sist that the new administration know in advance just what Stalin has in mind before thinking se- riously about any face-to-face con- ference with the Soviet leader. And he is understood to feel there must oo geh om be. somé’ con- vincing demonstration of good faith on the part of Russia as a forerunner of any meeting. There appears to be no great optimism at the Eisenhower head- quarters that such coaditions would be met. The general himself expressed his views regarding the situation when he told a news conference last June that he would meet with Stalin if he thought it would help the cause of peace. He said he would “do anything and go any- where” if he thought it would con- tribute to world peace, but he also declared he saw no prospect that a meeting with Stalin would solve world problems. However, the latest Stalin move is not being taken lightly by Ei- senhower or his key aides. They realize that in the eyes of the world, Stalin in effect has said: “Let’s get together and talk peace.” Whether it’s propaganda or not, it put the new administration on the spot. The reply of John Foster Dulles, secretary of state-desig- nate, approved by Eisenhower, challenged the Russians to prove they aren’t bluffing. And the next move, so far as the new administration is con- cerned, is up to Stalin. The incoming through Secretary of State-desig- nate Dulles, has called on Stalin he has. be seriously and sympathetically received,” conference with Eisenhower New York. jline specific peace proposals to the hower takes office Jan. 20.

Such channels, Dulles added, al- ways are available “for exchanges of views designed to find ways to promote peace and international good will.” That suggestion was regarded generally as a partial test of whether the Stalin statement was in good faith or, on the other hand, another Soviet propaganda move. Dulles returned to New York for the week end last night but said on arrival he had no present plans to confer further with Eisenhower regarding the Stalin statement. Asked whether the new adminis- tration would confer in Moscow or Washington ot anywhere with the Russians, Dulles said he per- sonally had no plans, and added: “That is for Gen. Eisenhower to decide.” He also said he had no plans to meet with the new Cabinet-desig- nate, the United Nations or repre- sentatives of any government on the matter. It also is up to Eisenhower to decide, Dulles said in reply to an- other question, whether he (Dulles) will meet with Stalin. The President-elect almost cer- tainly will talk over the matter with Winston Churchill when the British Prime Minister arrives in New York early next month for ae conferences with the gen- era SPEND NEW YEAR'S EVE in the Beautiful Hotel La Concha’s Rainbow Room.

Paper Says Ike Has Strategic Plan To End War NEW YORK (#—The New York Times reported here that the Ei- senhower administration has a new strategic plan for the Korean War and believes it “will exert so much pressure on the Communist forces that the Soviet Union will agree to an armistice.” The Times said in a story by Thomas J. Hamilton, under a United Nations dateline, that the new plan was worked out by the high command isjthe new adminis- tration of President-elect Eisen- hower. Hamilton wrote that “for obvious reasons no details can be made public, but the basic premises on which the plan has been formu- lated are the following: “The Kremlin will have to be convinced by deeds and words that under the new administration the United States will not pull out of Korea and that neither will it give way on the issue of the repatria- tion of prisoners of war. “The new plans will permit greatly increased pressure to be applied without involving a pro- hibitive cost to the forces defend- ing South Korea. “The new plans will not involve any considerable risk of converting the war into a general Asian war... “There will be a considerable increase in the participation of South Korean forces, but no great increase in the number of United Nations forces is visualized.” Hamilton wrote that the sources who made the information avail- able “were silent on the question of the contribution to the new plans” by Gen. Douglas MacArthur MacArthur, ousted Far East commander, talked with Eisen- hower last week about the Korean War and world peace problems. The two met after Eisenhower re- turned from Korea and after Mac- Arthur said he was confident there is “a clear and definite solution” RADIO and CIFELLI'S TLV.
