Hall Sees Greater
GOP Unity After
McCarthy Attack
WASHINGTON, tf)—President
Eisenhower was pictured Thurs
day as planning a vigorous battle
to swing the Republican presiden
tial nomination to a “progressive
moderate” in 1946 if he decides
against seeking a second term.
Friends familiar with the Presi
dent’s views reported them pri
vately in the wake of his news
conference discussion Wednesday
of his political philosophy. It was
there that he coined the phrase
“progressive moderates” in talk
ing about the kind of men he be
lieves should run the government.
These sources, who asked not
to be named, said the Chief Exec
utive is giving a great deal of
thought to how to assure that
such men—and women—do run
the government.
The discussion at the hour-long
meeting with newsmen was
touched off by questions which
dealt, directly or indirectly, with
Sen. McCarthy's accusation Tues
day that the President has dis
played a “shrinking show of
weakness” toward Communism.
Saying he has no intention of
indulging in personal vitupera
tion or quarrels of any kind, Eis
enhower declined comment on the
attack by the Wisconsin Republi
can, whose conduct toward the
Senate and its members was con
demned on two counts by the Sen
ate last week.
The President, asked whether
McCarthy’s attack presented a
danger to the Republican Party,
said reporters should take that
question to Republican National
Chairman Leonard W. Hall.
Hall said in a statement that
the result will be “even greater
unity and support” for Eisenhow
er among Republican Congress
members. He said that hed been
his judgement from the start but
he had delayed his statement un
til he could get a representative
sample of Senate and House opin
ion, he said.

Reds in Defense Plants
Rests With McCarthy
WASHINGTON, l/P)—A Senate I
hearing on Communists in defense J
plants closed down Wednesday
night after only two days and its j
future course apparently rested
with the absent Sen. McCarthy.

tection of the Fifth Amendment
against possible self-incrimination
in refusing to answer questions
aimed at finding out if they had
Communist affiliations.
ASTRONOMY NOTES \
By OLAF HALVERSON
The planet Venus is unusually
beautiful this year. It is shining
brilliantly in the southeastern
sky several hours before sunrise.
No one should fail to observe
this beautiful celestial object be
cause it is not always at such an
advantageous position for obser
vation. Last year, Venus was clos
er to the sun and was therefore
visible only an hour before sun
rise. The planet is now in such a
position that at this Christmas
season it reminds us of the “Star
of the East” which led the Wise
men to Bethlehem.
Another unusual situation this
year is the close proximity of an
other planet, Saturn, to the planet
Venus. These two planets will be
closest to one another on Wednes
day. If these two planets were
just a little closer, their combined
light would attract the people all
over the world.

Of Sewer to Beds Causes
Difficult Rescue of Pups
BALTIMORE, UPl—Robert Pawl
iske’s dog Cocoa was expecting,
ho the thoughtful owner prepared
several beds around the house
where the litter could be borne in
jomfort. i''
But Cocoa spurned the home
made maternity wards and wound
up \yith a litter of seven in an
outdoor sewer main. What’s more,
mama refused to let anyone res
cue the puppies from the main.
The mother was lured away
with food, but the litter still
couldn’t be reached. Undaunted,
Pawliske and a neighbor • ended
the two-day rescue by digging
through three feet of earth and
chiseling a hole in a concrete pipe.
Three cold puppies were saved;
the other four had died.
