Eisenhower, Eden Endorse Measures
To Prevent War in Middle East
.WASHINGTON, OW—President'
Eisenhower and Prime Minister
Eden have endorsed new meas
ures to prevent another Israeli
Arab conflict, have warned Red
China against “aggressive expan
sion,” and have cautioned neu
trals about Communist “entice
ment.”
Climaxing a three-day confer
ence on global cold war issdes,
the President and the British
Prime Minister issued a summary
statement and a “Declaration of
Washington,” laying down the
principles and general aims of
their policies.
The tone of both documents
was firm, reflecting the dashed
hopes bom at last July’s summit
conference for an end to the cold
war. The emphasis, nevertheless,!
was on peace. With specific re
spect to the East-West conflict,
Eden and Eisenhower rejected
any thought that it should “be
resolved by force.”
“We shall never initiate vio
lence,” they said.
Eden and Eisenhower voiced a
determination to try to stabilize
the Middle East. They said a set
tlement between Israel and the
Arab states “is the most urgent
need” for that strife-ridden re
gion.
They accused Russia of having
“increased the risk of war” thru
the sale of Communist arms to
Egypt via Czechoslavakia and de
clared that “our purpose is to
mitigate that risk.”
They directed that the French
government be invited to take
part in three-power talks to chart
possible actions under a 1950 dec
laration by the three nations. That
document pledged joint action in
the event force is used or threat
ened in Palestine.
The French were advised be
fore the statement was issued. As
suming they agree, the talks to
plan new steps are expected to be
held here in a few days.
Informed officials said meas
ures which will be considered in
clude an appeal to the United Na
tions to put a peace-keeping mili
tary force into the demilitarized
zone between Israel and the Arab
armies; policing of the area by
forces of the three powers, such ,
as the U.S. 6th Fleet in the Medi- j
terranean; trade embargoes and!
economic and financial sanctions.!
Official informants said it was!
not decided at the White House
conferences which of such meas
ures might be most practical but
that none had been completely
ruled out. Action by the U. N.
would be complicated by the pres
ence of Russia in the Security
Council. Russia might veto a call
for troops or might insist on par
ticipating. American officials said
they would not consider the intro
duction of Soviet troops into the
Middle East, even under the U.N.
banner, as a contribution to peace.

possessions left by Lionel Barry

MacArthur Was
Too 6Wrapped Up
In East’ —Truman
WASHINGTON, UP)—F o r m e r
President Truman says he thinks
Gen. Douglas MacArthur became
too “wrapped up in the East” and
lost touch with this country dur
ing his 14-year absence.
Truman both praises and criti
cizes MacArthur in the latest in
stallment of his memoirs, appear
ing in Life magazine. But he ex
presses regret the general, who
remained in the Far East from
1936 until Truman fired him early
in 1951, didn’t visit this country
more often “to familiarize him
self with the situation at home.”
Only two months after Mac
Arthur took command of U. N.
forces fighting in the Korean War,
Truman said, he considered send
ing Gen. Omar Bradley to replace
MacArthur in that command.
MacArthur would have continued
in charge of the Japanese occupa
tion.
But Truman says “after weigh
ing it carefully, I decided against
such a step. It would have been
difficult to avoid the appearance
of a demotion, and I had no de
sire to hurt Gen. MacArthur per
sonally.”
Truman, who stripped MacAr
thur of all his commands Apr. 11,
1951, said he had considered re
moving him as a military com
mander in August 1950.
That followed a statement that
MacAruthur sent to the Veterans
of Foreign Wars stressing the im
portance of preventing Formosa
from falling into hostile hands.
He contended the fall of the Na
tionalist Chinese island would
create an enemy salient within
America’s Far East line of de
fenses.
The official U.S. policy at the
time was stated to be that the
United States had no designs on
Formosa and was guarding it only
to kefep the Korean War from
spreading.
Truman says MacArthur’s state
ment "contradicted” this policy.

Democrats Deliver
Slashing Attacks On
| Republican Party
NEW YORK, UPt—Former Presi
dent Harry S. Truman says Presi
dent Eisenhower’s Republican ad
ministration has made a “sham
bles” of bipartisanship in foreign
policy.
This, he adds, is. “the thing
that worries me most in the pol
itical scene for 1956.”
In a speech reminiscent of his
“give ’em hell” tactics in the 1948
campaign, Truman addressed
2,600 wildly aplauding partisans
at a $100-a-plate dinner last
night.
The dinner launched the Demo
cratic 1956 presidential campaign
in New York State—wielder of
98 of the 1372 votes at the party’s
national convention next August
in Chicago.
Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten
nessee, an open candidate for the
presidential nomination, and Gov.
Averell Harriman of New York
an “inactive” candidate, also de
livered slashing attacks on the
GOP.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The beautiful evening star, Ve
nus, will also become an equally
beautiful morning star during an
other part of the year.
In ancient times, the Greeks
believed these to be two different
stars, calling the morning star
“Phosphorus,” the torchbearer
who lights the way for Dawn.
The evening star was called “Hes
perus,” the leader o£ stars of the
night. These names were trans
lated into the Latin and became
Lucifer and Vesper.
The morning star was the son
of Aurora and the evening star
a brother of Atlas. The discovery
that these two stars were the
same planet now called Venus
was made by Pythagoras, a fa
mous mathematician of ancient
times.
John Milton mentions this eve
ning star in his writing when he
wrote: “Now glowed the firma
ment with living sapphires; Hes
perus, that led the starry host,
rode brightest.”
