a traveling salesman who has ac
quired through the years a large

from burlesque shows; Uncle
Louis, who drinks white wine
from a portable water co ol e r

finally there is Papa, whose main

These several glowing charac

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE c,(DttEGE PMNVI.VANIA
Prexy's Ideas
Valued Highly
Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, close
adviser to his brother, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, has "one
of the most liberal outlooks to be
found in the White House, today,"
Cabell Phillips, Washington cor
respondent for the New York
Times, said yesterday.
Presiaem Eisenhower has de
veloped a "growing dependence"
on the advice of his brother, Phil
lips told members of Journalism
1 and 2 classes. Because Dr. Eis
enhower's experience has "very
largely been in government af
fairs for the last 25 years," Phil
lips said, he is "extremely valu
able" to his brother.
Dr. Eisenhower's "life has been
spent in the area his brother is
most weak in," Phillips said. His
experience in political affairs is
therefore helpful to the President,
he said.
Phillips said Dr. Eisenhower
flies to Washington, D.C. nearly
every week and is in frequent
communication with his brother
over the telephone.
In his speech, the newspaper
man termed Sen. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy, (R-Wis) "the strongest
threat" to the President's leader
ship.
He also pointed out that there
is no single influential Congres
sional leader to promote the Pres
ident's programs in Congress.
"There is probably no greater
weakness" in the President's "pol
itical armament," Phillips said.

time to bury the hatchet and
smoke the traditional peace pipe
with the incoming senior class.
