‘Don’t Know if Ike
Is Still the Same
Man,’ Says Zhukov
NEW DELHI, \ff\ — Marshal
Georgi K. Zhukov declared today
the Eisenhower doctrine for the
Middle East “undoubtedly is a
. step toward war.”
The Soviet defense minister,
who has exchanged several let
ters with Eisenhower since their
wartime association, added in a
chat with reporters that the
President might not be the same
man he knew in Germany 12
years ago.
Of the Mideast doctrine, the
■touring Soviet Army leader de
clared:
“I do not know if Eisenhower
really is its originator. But it is
meant for interference by using
American capital in the Middle
East militarily and economically.
It is a new edition of the old colo
niast policy.”
After he said the Russians were
sure the Arabs would reject the
Eisenhower plan, Zhukov was
asked why he did not “make his
views known in a more intimate
fashion” to his “old friend” Eisen
hower.
Zhukov, speaking through an
interpreter, 'said after apparent
deliberation:
“Eisenhower is my old friend
as a soldier. I do not know what
is left of him as a soldier—whe
ther he is still the same man.”
Zhukov’s remarks were made
at a cocktail party he gave for
Prime Minister Nehru and other
top Indian officials. He talked
with newsmen minutes after
Nehru left.

' One of the most impressive
l spectacles in the sky lies in the
| center of the sword of Orion.
I The sword has three stars in it
, with the central one appearing
! misty.
A large telescope discloses that
this is not a star but a beautiful
cloudy mass of nebulae which
covers the entire central part of
the constellation. A photograph
uncovers a still further surprise
because the eye of a camera is
more sensitive to light than the
j eye of a telescope. The photo
graph reveals that the nebulae
| spureads in all directions and
even beycnd the boundary of
Orion.
There are also vast masses of
dark nebulae in the Nebula of
Orion. The dark nebula has the
appearance of veil-like clouds
| which obscure the light of the
stars beyond them. The nebulous
clouds are believed by many as
tronomers to be cosmic dust par
ticles driven out from bright
stars.
Farley Resigns as
Wildlife Head; Sec.
Names Janzen
I
MILWAUKEE, UFi — Leaving
office Friday, John L. Farley
struck back at critics who ac
cused him of destroying morale
and supervising a negative pro
gram during four stormy years
as head of the nation’s Fish and
Wildlife Bureaus.
The resignation of Farley, a
center of conservation controver
sy since he replaced a career man
as dirctor of the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service in 1953, was ac
cepted by Interior Secretary Fred
Seaton today.
Farley cited, among achieve
ments of his administration, the
“prompt, rastic but scientifically
sound” measure of the so-called
Farley plan for restoring the
dwindling salmon resources of
Alaska.
In that area, he said, ‘the long
trend of diminishing abundance
has been reversed.”
Another challenge, he added,
was the management of migratory
waterfowl “and particularly the
integration of the states and fly
way councils with the federal
government in the development
of regulations and research pro
grams.”
The service; was reorganized
last year by Congress into sep
arate bureaus of commercial fish
eries and of sports fishing end
wildlife. Farley’s resignation was
rumored earlier this week,
Seaton’s announcement; i n
cluded appointment of Daniel H.
Janzen, regional supervisor of the
Service at Minneapolis, as per
manent director of the Bureau
Ferley headed in a temporary
capacity since reorganization.
