Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower, fair-
haired boy of both political parties,
said it once more: He would not be
a presidential candidate on any-
body’s ticket.
There had been a lull following
his unequivocal refusal of Republi-
can overtures, and then the pro-
Eisenhower sentiment was resur-
rected in the hearts of ho fewer
than four widely divergent groups.
Probably the most unique ap-
proach was being made by Torrey
Steams, a New York public rela-
tions man, who harbors the opinion
that Eisenhower is a Republican.
He conceived a "People for Eisen-
hower” movement. The method to a
nationwide solicitation of voting
citizens to send in postcards bear-
ing this signed testimony:
"I want to vote for General Eisen-
hower for president in November. I
am a citizen of voting age.”
"On June 31,” Stearns announced,
"all of the statements will be pre-
sented to the Republican national
convention as indisputable evidence
that the people of the United States
demand the nomination of Dwight
D. Eisenhower for president.”
But Eisenhower was having none
of it. Speaking through a statement
by Maj. Gen. Floyd L. Parks, army
press chief, he indicated that "hto
no politics statement of some weeks
ago” should “apply to all parties and
groups of voters.”'
Said Parks: "He has not changed
one iota in his position and I do not
believe he will do so.”

WASHINGTON—The subject of cows recently has been called
to my attention.
In the early pre-crossword days, a cow was supposed to be an animal
of the bovine species. Now it to just a three-latter word meaning rumi-
nant. There to another three-letter word which also sometimes means a
ruminant of which I will speak later.
Before I knew that a cow was
either a member of the bovine spe-
cies or a ruminant, I thought it was

After the grey winter days New
Hampshire avenue almost sparkles
these spring mornings.
The elm buds are spreading and
the shadows of trunk and limb make
sharp patterns on the wide expanse
of the huge Belmont house. This
house now is occupied by the East-
ern Star—no family ever could have
done more than rattle about in that
palatial mansion. I suppose there
will be few such palaces built in
Washington any more—one after an-
other, they are being tom down.

in its place. Many other mansions,
too big for embassies even, served
as boarding houses for war workers
and now they are empty and for
sale.

generation, which still retains some
of the original fortune, comes to
Washington for a wedding or a
party. After that the house to sealed
up again, the burglar alarms are

back to dreaming of the past.
A part of this section of Wash-

sealed off for a year while the
roadbuilders burrow under the
grassy park to make an underpass
for trolley cars and automobiles.
This will be the final blow, of dis-
figuration to Connecticut avenue,

the years since 1 first knew it, to

TO WALLACE:
Failed Hint
Henry Wallace, whose third party
movement was coming more and
more to follow the standard Com-
munist party line, had reached the
status of a complete pariah as far
as President Truman was concerned.
In hto St. Patrick’s day address
in New York the President had re-
jected angrily any notion of accept-
ing Wallace’s support in his cam-
paign. even if it cost him the elec-
tion.
Then, during the course of re-
marks made at a dinner meeting of
Greek-Americans in Washington,
Mr. Truman turned on still more
“Mieter Clobb, you can put that out
m tho com erib with the reel of your
aphoriomo," commented the critical
Pharonie.
“Mebbe so,” dghed the elder states-
man, “but it worries mo—not knowin’
how to feel about thio hero world eitua-
tion. Tm gettiri on toward 69, so I
could afford to think that in order to
have peace and a eeeure foreign policy
we firot got to rig up a etrong back-
bone at home. And a etrong backbone
right now means a etrong army and
navy and air force.”

and will bo agreeably surprised to
see what a professional job you
can do using only hsnd tools.
He issued an acidulous, thinly
veiled suggestion that Wallace take
his third party movement to Russia
where Mr. Truman obviously thinks
it belongs.
”1 was going to tell you that the
Greeks had a Henry Wallace,” the
President said to hto listeners. *T
was going to tell you that the Greeks
had a statesman, an orator, a dema-
gogue. . . . They had the greatest
demagogue of all times, Alcibiades.”
(Alcibiades was a famous Atheni-
an who, after committing certain
indiscretions, was forced to flee
Athens. He went to Sparta and
there betrayed secrets of hto coun-
trymen which was instrumental in
bringing about the fall of Athens.)
Mr. Truman continued: "If imi-
tators of that ancient Greek con-
queror want to see . . . liberties
subverted, I suggest that they go not
to the Rocky mountains—that’s fine
country out there. He ought to go
to the country he loves so well and
help them against his own country
if that’s the way he feels.”

MOBILIZE:
Controlt?
Bernard M. Baruch approves of
selective service and universal mili-
tary training for the present quasi-
ertois, but he does not think that is
enough to meet all the implications
the world situation holds.
The financier and presidential ad-
vtoer called also for an "economic
mobilization plan” and said that
America's failure to muster all its
resources now for peace would leave
"no alternative but to mobilize for
war” in the future.
Baruch told the senate armed serv-
ices committee that he was afraid
that if the nation suddenly and with-
out preparation were called upon to
mobilize and prepare for a big war,
such forces of domestic inflation
would be set in motion as could
blow the country wide open and
leave it defenseless.
He suggested the appointment of
someone to “watch the impact upon
our economy of the partial mobiliza-
tion we are entering upon and to
maintain a constant inventory, bal-
ancing all our growing commitments
against our resources.”
It had not been a hidden threat,
but Baruch’s statement had focused
attention on the possible danger that
a sudden spate of military spending
could bring about ruinous inflation.
As a result, talk of reviving the
defunct OPA was being heard in
Washington. Baruch's warning
touched off informal discussions in
congress about the possibility of re-
viving wage-price controls, rationing
and other curbs on the domestic
economy.
This, of course, had been an in-
tegral part of President Truman’s
famous 10-point program against in-
flation which he proposed last year,
but most congressmen virtually had
gagged at the thought of reimposing
price and wage controls, and the
President was accused of trying to
set up something like a "police
state."
Now, however, congressmen were
hot so sure. They were beginning
to wonder if the military spending
necessary to contain Russia might
not have to be buttressed by con-
trols at home.
Ruminating on Ruminants,
Or Cogitating About Cows
HOMEBODY:
No Meeting
With the arrival of spring and the
yearly rebirth of hope eternal, a
second-hand rumor suddenly was re-
vived across the Atlantic. It had
to do with the rebuilding of the
stripped gears of East-West rela-
tions.
The rumor, which was being cir-
culated widely in Europe, said that
President Truman was planning a
trip to the continent for a Big Three
conference with Attlee and Stalin.
Another version, as given cur-
rency by newspapers in Turkey, re-
ported that the President might go
to Europe sometime in April and
possibly visit Turkey and.Greece.
All this was good for a flurry of
excitement, but in the end it turned
out to be nothing more than a
clutching at straws.
Mr. Truman, the White House an-
nounced, had no plans for leaving
the country, and there was no pros-
pect of a Big Three meeting.
SPIES:
In Germany
Conditions were getting back
the cloak and dagger state.
With a dramatic flare, radio Mos-
cow charged that Russif ''had un-
covered an American-directed spy
ring of former German army offi-
cers operating out of western Ger-
many, Austria and Sweden to learn
Soviet zone secrets.
Leaders of the group functioning in
the Soviet zone had been captured
and had confessed, Moscow re-
ported. The broadcast claimed, in
part:
“He confessed he was a member
of an illegal Fascist organization ex-
isting in the western occupation zone
of Germany, consisting of officers
of the former German army who
are being used by
telligence service
the Soviet zone.”

Iphemlstically ad-
dressed as "Bes-
sie," and which (I
was told) would
not hurt me. I
took the former
statement as cor-
rect, but had grave
doubts about the
latter. Later I was
taught that c-o-w
speUed, not bossie,
but cow, and stiH
later I was chased by one. This
caused additional doubt concerning
free information furnished by one’s
elders. ■
Then came the crossword puzzles.
I saw that “three, horizontal” was a
three-letter word meaning ruminant.
Having heard of the word “rumi-
nate” by that time, and thinking
that, thinking or, if you wiU, rumi-
nating, was a fairly common prac-
tice among the genus homo, I wrote
down “man.” Later when I met a
number of congressmen I was con-
vinced of my error.
Now I know that neither defini-
tion is entirely wrong. A cow ru-
minates when it chews its cud
(having chewed it before), and a
man ruminates when he ehews an
idea upon which he has chewed
before.
In some ways however, cows and
men differ. In fact, cows even differ
in some respects from women, al-
though all three creatures—man,
woman and cow—are mammals, the
highest form of vertebrate, those
which (the authorities inform me)
nurse their young with milk. Just
how man gets into this category ir
a little beyond me, but that to what
the scientist says, and I am willing
to strain my credulity a little. After
all, I suppose that my father, who
pain for the milk which I drank
when I got so I could take it out of
a glass, nourished me in a manner
of speaking. We will let it go at
that, although it seems to me that a
man assumes a little of what might
be criticized as the gland manner
of speaking when he tries to get
more than a grade B rating as a
mammal.
But to return to the differences
between cows on the one hand, and
men and women on the other—(and
I think no one will contradict me
when I say there ARE differences):
One thing a cow cannot 'do that a
man. can, is blow its own horn. And
as we know from listening to the
soap operas, it is easier to make a
woman slip than to make a cowslip.
Now what has a cow got that
you and I haven’t? Answer: Cat-
tle are closely related to the buf-
falo, the bison and the yak. I defy
any genealogist to produce a bison,
a buffalo and a yak in one human
family tree. On the other hand,
In the branches of a cow’s family
tree, there are no monkeys.
In some ways the cow has superior
abilities. For instance, I have seen
a cow roll over without spilling a
drop of milk, which to more than
any man, carrying a similar amount
of lacteal fluid, could do.
Philologically, the cow seems to
have somewhat of an edge on man,
at least for those who believe in the
capitalistic system. The Latin word
for cattle (as of course you know
if you just looked it up as I did) is
“pecus.” And the word pecuniary
to derived from that, and the words
cattle, chattel and capital are to
each other what cow itself is to buf-
falo, bison and yak.
AU present-day breeds of cattle, 1
am authoritatively informed, are
descended from the two types, large
and small, known in prehistoric
times in Europe. However, in re-
cent times (and now we are getting
down to what started me ruminat-
ing), something new has been ad-
ded. We now have developed what
might be laughingly caUed “hot
cows” and “cold cows.”
The “hot” are the Brahmas which
have been insinuated into our own
American strains to inure them to
our southern latitudes and (or other
purposes. As you know, Brahma
cattle are known by their humps. A
braw Brahma has a large hump just
abaft the shoulders, and the others
of lesser rank have smaUer humps
getting down to something not much
larger than a fever blister.
The “cold” cow is quite a differ-
ent thing. As might be expected, it
comes from Russia where they in-
vented the coidtwar, the cold shoul-
der and the common or Siberian
cold, which is used to correct false
idee fogies, longevity and monopolis-
tic canltoUam.
