Eisenhower Keeps Silent
Amid Pressure Reports
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 — (JP) —Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower kept
silent today amid reports that his friends were putting on pressure
for him to come home and campaign for the Republican presidential
nomination.
At a netos, conference here, GOP candidate Harold E. Stassen
said he believes Eisenhower is “not coming back” before the Re
publican nominating convention
meets in Chicago, July 7.
Stassen strongly indicated that
he doesn't think Eisenhower can
win , the nomination unless the
general comes home and fights
for it,
At Eisenhower’s supreme allied
headquarters in France, an aide
told newsmen:
'lke' Isn't Talking
“The general just isn’t saying
anything.”
Eisenhower’s press spokesman,
made the comment when asked
about reports that the five-star
general might soon return to the
United States.
The spokesman recalled Eisen
hower’s statement, in January, that
he would obey “a clear-cut call
to political duty” but would make
no further political comment.
“He is standing on that,” the
spokesman said.
Testimony Demanded
Some Eisenhower boosters have
been reported planning to de
mand that Congress call the gen
eral to testify on the administra
tion’s pending foreign aid bill.
With that strategy, they hoped
to give Eisenhower a chance to
say he believes the groundwork
of his mission to rebuild western
Europe’s defenses has been laid—
and thus knock down any idea
that he is an “indispensable man”
in Europe.
Supporters of Senator Robert
A. Taft (R-Ohio) made no secret
of their belief that while the
general remains 'silent, their man
is fast making political hay.
Senators Push
Amendment
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—(/P)—
Fifty-six senators joined today in
proposing a Constitutional amend
ment to prevent the use of treaties
and Presidential agreements “to
undermine the sovereignty of the
United States.”
Senator Bricker (R-Ohio) said
the bi-partisan move was directed
mainly against activities of the
United Nations.
This international organization,
Bricker told the Senate, “appears
inspired by an ambition to define
and enforce by treaty the eco
nomic and political rights of
every human being in the world.”
The resolution was signed by
43 Republicans and 13 Democrats.
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) is one of
the sponsors of the resolution.

killed 10,000 Polish officers, in an
attempt to wipe out Poland’s re
sistance to Communism.

Kennan Nominated
As Ambassador
To Soviet Union *
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—(#)—
Scholarly George F. Kennan, a
diplomat who can talk to Stalin
in his own language, was nomi
nated by President Truman to
day to be ambassador to Moscow.
The noted “Mr. X” of United
States-Russian relations will, if
confirmed by the Senate, succeed
retired Admiral Alan G. Kirk in
the top American diplomatic post
behind the iron curtain. Truman
accepted Kirk’s resignation, effec
tive yesterday.
Kennan, who is at 47 a veteran
of 25 years in the foreign service,
is perhaps best known outside
the State department as the au
thor of the‘policy of containment
under which the United States,
about five years ago, began to
bulwark threatened countries to
protect them against Communist
conquest.
Adenauer Asks
German Voice
!n NATO Plans
BONN, Germany, Feb. 7— (JP)
—Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
called on the West Germans to
day to rearm to help make the
free western world “so strong
that Russia will not dare attack.”
He coupled this plea before
Parliament with a fresh demand
for a German, voice in the strate
gic planning of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and a blast
at the French on developments in
the coal-rich Saar.
Opening a two-day debate on
the issue of arming 300,000 to
400,000 German troops to serve
with a six-nation European army,
Adenauer said:
“Soviet Russia has shown
clearly and convincingly that it
does not want peace in the world.
We must realize how great is the
danger to our freedom and all
that we hold precious. If we were
to be drawn under Soviet power
it would mean the loss of every
thing worth living for.”

Senator Blasts
Treasury Head
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7— (JP)— Senator ■ Williams (R*Del.) said
in an attack on Secretary of the ’Treasury Snyder today that the
cabinet member must shoulder responsibility for “disgraceful con
ditions” in the Internal Revenue Bureau.
President Truman promptly. came to Snyder’s defense.
What Williams would like, the
president said, would be to have
all the internal revenue collec
tors fired so he could get Repub
licans into their jobs.
The 64 collectors are now poli
tically appointed. The president
has proposed a reorganization
under which the number would
be'reduced to a maximum of. 25
and they would be placed under
civil service. ■
Elizabeth II
Assumes
First Duty
LONDON, Feb. 7— (flP) — Pale
but dry-eyed, Queen Elizabeth II
took up in London today the
lonely duties of sovereign of a
people mouring with her the
death of her beloved father.
The 25-year-old queen arrived
at London Airport under a lead
en sky after a 4,000-mile flight
from Kenya-Colony, in Equator
ial Africa.' With her was her
handsome young husband, the
Duke of Edinburgh, who she is
expected to proclaim Prince Con
sort.
Churchill Greets Queen
Prime Minister Churchill bowed
deeply in greeting as Britain’s
new queen and her royal party
stepped from the big four-engin
ed airplane which brought them
home.
After speaking briefly to the
black-clad welcoming party and
to the crew of her plane, the sor
rowing queen was whisked in a
motor convoy along police-lined
roads to - Clarence House, her
London residence, and then to
Buckingham Palace in the heart
of London.
First Duly as Queen
There she faced her first grim,
duty as queen—to approve plans
for the deeply traditional lying
in-state and funeral of her father,
King George VI, Feb. 15. He died
unexpectedly in his sleep early
Wednesday at his Sandringham
Estate on Norfolk.
With that tragic stroke, Eliza
beth became Britain's first reign
ing Queen since the golden era of
Victoria ended 51 years ago.

Strongest Attack
Williams, in a Senate speech,
made the strongest attack thus
far on Snyder as a result of the
tax scandals uncovered in con
gressional investigations. The In
ternal Revenue Bureau, which
handles government tax collec
tions, is a part of the Treasury
department and thus under Sny
der’s overall supervision.
Snyder himself said he was
glad that Senator Williams had
endorsed the reorganization plan,
approved by the House and now
under consideration in the Senate.
He added:
Favors Improvement
“I believe the interest of the
American people is in the im
provement of all government
service to meet the highest stand
ards of integrity, efficiency and
economy.
“This is the type of program
that the president, the commis
sioner of internal .revenue and I
have been and are firmly and
vigorously endeavoring to carry
out.”
