Ike Never Touched
Golf During Allied
* Drive — Hagerty
WASHINGTON, UPi — General
Eisenhower never had a golf club
in his hands from the start of the
invasion of Europe until the 'de
feat of Germanp, the White House
says.
Eisenhower was Supreme Al
lied Commander in Europe at the
time.
In a book published Monday,
Viscount Alanbrooke, wartime
chief of the British General Staff,1
criticized Eisenhower’s leadership
during the period before the crit
ical Battle of the Bulge in No
vember, 1944.
Alanbrooke wrote that there
was a “very unsatisfactory state
of affairs in France with no one
running the land battle. Eisen
hower, though supposed to be
doing so, was on the golf links
at Rheims — entirely detached j
and taking practically no part in
running the war.”
This did not say in so many, j
words that Eisenhower was play-j
ing golf, but it has been gener
ally interpreted that way.
Eisenhower made no reply to
the charge, and at first his press ,
secretary, James Hagerty, said |
he never would have any com- j
ment on Alanbrooke’s book.
But Thursday, at a White House
news conference, Hagerty was told
a reporter had checked into the
matter and found that Eisenhower
played very little golf during the ;
war.
Hagerty hesitated, then said:
“Well, I think I can say this: }
Somebody has exaggerated it.
From the time the Allies landed
in Europe until the victory was
won, the President didn’t have a
golf club in his hands, much less
play at a golf course.”
The invasion was in June, 1944,
and Germany surrendered the fol
lowing May.
Panama President
Pleads to End
Canal Zone Strife
By LUIS NOLI
PANAMA, U!) — Panamanian
nationalists finally planted their
nations flag in the Panama Canal j
Zone Thursday. Panamanian I
troops rushed in, cleared out the
crowd of about 200 without vio
lence, and took down the flag.
Anti-American tension appeared ^
easing in the Central American j
Republic after a plea for moder-;
ation on both sides by President
Ernesto de la Guardia.
U. S. troops, who had been man
ning the Canal Zone boundary
after violent outbursts by nation- j
a 1 i s t demonstrators Tuesday,
handed control back to the zone’s
regular police.
De la Guardia pinned much
of the blame for the violence on
the American police and troops
for using force against the demon
strators who tried to cross the
zonal border Tuesday — on Pan
ama’s 56th independence anniver
sary — and plant their flag. In
furiated by the opposition, the na
tionalists stoned the American
Embassy and the U. S. Informa
tion Service and tore down the
U. S. flag at the Embassy.
The president was misquoted
by the Associated Press Thursday
as condemning his own people
for the clashes at the zone border.
His speech, made in a nationwide
broadcast Wednesday night, had
been incorrectly translated.
But de la Guardia did say that
his government “neither can ap
prove acts committed by Pana
manians against the chancery of
the North American embassy.”

Senator Symington Lashes
GOP For Not Giving
Public ‘All the Facts’
SEATTLE, Iff) — Senator Stu
art Symington (D-Mo) started an
Alaska tour today still parrying
questions about his oft-mentioned
possibilities as a 1960 Democratic
Presidential candidate.
In an interview before leaving
for the north, he told newsmen:
“If I become a candidate, I’ll be
glad to let you know.”
The Missouri Democrat struck
out at the Eisenhower Adminis
tration’s foreign policy. He
charged that the U. S. has “spent
too much money in foreign aid.”
He also said the Administra
tion’s domestic policy should be
changed because “we can’t sit
back and retrench — and adopt
the same methods in the 1950s
that got us into trouble in the 30s.
Symington accused the Admin
istration of not keeping the people
adequately informed.
“The people,” he said, are not
being given all the truth, all the'
facts.’
