Stevenson in Washington recently, by the new Republican Administration, was 4 most respect- ful and generous one. President Eisenhower spent some time with the prominent Democrat and joined with a group of Republican and Democratic congressmen, meeting with the former Illinois Governor afterwards. In addition, the new Administration arranged for its top leaders to brief the 1952 Democratic Presidential can- didate on foreign affairs. The group of Republicans brief- ing Stevenson included the Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, Stevenson is leaving for a five-month trip around the world in the near future and the Administration seems to be cooperating with him fully in an effort to make his . trip a fruitful one. Another mark of respect and courtesy, paid the Dem- cratic candidate was the action of House Speaker Joe ‘tartin and House Majority Leader Charles A. Halleck, of “Tassachusetts and Indiana, respectively. The two Repub- lican leaders came over to greet Stevenson at a meeting organized by the Democrats in the House caucus room which was packed with about 500 congressmen and others, of both parties. Speaker Martin said afterwards he could recall no similar reception for an unsuccessful Presiden- tial candidate. And he has been in Washington during five successive defeats of his party and his party's candidate. The official actions of the Eisenhower Administration, indicate that there is no animosity or bitternese between the two Presidential candidates of 1952. On the other hand, they seem to be working together, as closely as two men of different party allegiance can, It will be remember- ed that Governor Stevenson kept his campaign on a high level last year, never indulging in bitter attacks on person- alities. Nor did President Eisenhower. Today’s events and the Stevenson-Eisenhower cooperation, are proof that-po- litical campaigns conducted on such a high level are not only best for the country but best for the candidates, in the long run. 2 The less you know, the easier it are right. isto be sure you } People living in key metropolitan cities might look! into the cost of bomb shelters, if they have nothing else to! do. OW TO CONVINCE THE CAPTAIN tw AT WE WERE TING AT THOSE PRISONERS OF WAg I” i HONOR SYSTEM U.S. Must Be Cautious About |Nellie Headed For Sudden Changes Toward Russia By ELTON C. FAY AP Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON # — The United States will be supercautious to avoid sudden changes in military policy which might alarm either the Soviets or U. S. allies during any transition in the Russian re- gime. Thig became apparent here as the Pentagon weighed each bit of information about Joseph Stalin and consulted frequently with the State Department. Two potentially dangerous situa- tions were seen if the U. S. mili- tary, for any reason, should make major changes in armed force strength or disposition of troops at this time: Z 1. If the U..S. should start an abrupt buildup of strergth on the belief the danger of war was in- creasing because of Russia’s inter- nal situation, a new and inexper- jenced regime in Russia might seize upon this as a pretext for launching “‘preventive” war. 2. If there was a decision to cut down the U. S. armed forces, for reasons either international or domestic, the Western European allies might interret that as mean- ing the U, S. believed the danger} was goné with the departure of | Stalin from power. } There was disposition in military | quarters, as there was among} some Congress members, to feel that a live and active Stalin has been a restraining factor which held Russia back from new mili- tary adventures, Those who argued that way did not seek to say that Stalin was any less guilty of other dark deeds of diplomacy and duplicity, but only that he appreciated the dan- ger of embarking on war to gain his goals, Even if a new Russian leader of professed moderate or peaceful intentions should come to power— RIQTERS CHEER SHAH med Mossadegh in which they drove Mossadegh arrest of 70 retired and active a tupperters (4) Wireproto via and the names of no such persons appeared among the probable can- didates — the Pentagon would be loathe to swerve immediately from its present policy of full military readiness, U. S. military leaders, with bitter experience in dealing with Russians after World War Il, want deeds instead of words from the Soviets to demonstrate peaceful intentions—stopping Soviet aid to Red China and North Korea, agree- ment to atomic arms control by inspection. Uncertain about everything else Russian, there was uncertainty about whether the continued con- trol of Russian affairs by political rather than military leaders would be good or bad. Men without cold, practical military experience—and Malenkov, Molotov or Beria is a soldier—could overrate the military ability of Russia and underrate that of the Western Powers. On the other hand, there was the possibility that young, hot- headed Russians — like Vassilov Stalin, son of the Premier and an air officer—might influence policy and egg Russia into conflict. Generally, Pentagon guessing ap- peared to coincide with the assess- ments of the State Department— that no early change in Russian foreign policy — including war— appeared in prospect.

Y., P —There’s a saying when times get rough and troubles pile up: “Run for the hills, Nellie, the dam just Not so with our Nellie. She didn’t have any hills. But she had an oil tank. And she sure had troubles. Nellie isa canine mother. A Brittany spaniel. She has four little Brittany spaniels, real fine puppies. The dam broke on Nellie Wednes- day. Heavy rains sent water slosh- ing into the basement nursery, a foot deep in most places. But around the oil tank there was only a couple of inches. Nellie sized up the situation, but she didn’t run. She took matters-- all four of them-in her teeth and piled them up on the oil tank. Then Nellie sat down and howled for help. Mrs. Kenneth Werth, Nellie’s mistress, cane running. She gath- ered up the shivering brood, rushed them to the kitchen and applied a dish towel. Nellie’s family was do- ing very well today.

The competitors supplied Connel- ly with their own paper boxes with his firm's name printed on them sf to keep him in business during the interim. Workmen of 13 construc- tion labor unions worked around the clock to put up a new factory. Friendly manufacturers turned up with hard-to-get machinery. “Others too numerous to mention helped us and it’s a modern mira- cle,” Connelly said Wednesday at a formal ceremony at which he pushed a button starting a corru- gating machine turning out new paper boxes, HAL BOYLE SAYS NEW YORK ®—The hammer and sickle have fallen from the hands of Joseph Stalin. The “great comrade” has come to twilight on his long, bloody road to power. It is superb irony that this man whose words and actions fright- ened more people thar any other man in history should end a help- less paralytic unable to move or ask for a drink of water ... a complete prisoner of a small group of men in whom he held no final trust. What terror must seethe in his darkened brain as strange shadowy figures probe his numbing body in Moscow’s official medical in- quisition! ... what panic in his mind as his thickened tongue refuses to say what he wants it to say! maybe it isn’t an order at all ... maybe the great marshal doesn’t want to talk about a battle plan ... or purge a satellite country ... perhaps at last he wants to mumble a prayer ... or to ask what day it is ... or maybe his memory wanders in the lost fields for Lenin ... dead friends of his dead youth ... Whatever he wants to say, it no longer makes any difference ... he shares in solitude the fate he inflicted on millions of other hu- man beings ... now he, too, is a slave ... and, like all the others, death is for him the only way out ... At this writing the Moscow gov- ernment reports him still alive. But, true or false, it makes no real difference. Dead or alive, Comrade Stalin is again a stranger to power. No other figure in the human race ever held such power ..; 900,000,000 people’ under his direct sway ... some 1,400,000,000 others worried or afraid of how he would move next. . Stalin took over as a dictator where Adolf Hitler left off ... he knew no real peace since boy- hood ... always fighting, plotting, scheming for the death of others... and what does all his vast empire come down to? ... a fight for just one more breath ... and then an- other ... what are the Ukraine and Poland to him now ... Manchuria or Korea? His ‘arch enemy, the Pope at Rome, prays for his conversion ... of others around the world, less pious, would prefer to ring church bells over his death. Many in his own country probably feel that way, too. It is a measure of the schism that Joe Stalin created in the world that in free countries people even took his own government's an- nouncement of his illness in dis- belief. : “He must already be dead, and | they are just getting ready to pre- jpare the Russian people for the ‘expressed it. The feeling was that the death of Stalin, like any other preceded by a big propaganda buildup. The government announcement was calculated to allay suspicions that Comrade Stalin was the victim under the constant supervision of the Republican National Commit- tee.” Well, it Joseph Stalin 73 his or & took make dead RFS yt 54 a (and slit down the back to remove sand vein; cook in a little butter (or margerine to which finely dived onion and parsley have | been added.
