SCANNING THE NEWS _ Ike and Mac Talk Peace For ho first time in six years I’resid nt-Fleet Eisenhower saw his old commander. General Mac Artlu i . when they met for lunch and talks on "peace in Korea and the \V* i ld" at the New York City home of John Foster Dulles, Eis enhower's secretary of stale desig nate. The two hou" and 15 mir.ute meeting ended as Eisenhower and MacArthur emerged smi'.ing thruigh '.he iror grilled door of the v. iite stone mansion. Eisenhower's statement to the press was. "I just had a meeting u ith two old and very good friends, my old commander and the sec retary of state designate. "We had a very enjoyable lunch and very fine conversation on the general subject of peace, not only m Korea but throughout the world, wit. particular reference to the world situation in which, of course. sik^i a Korean peace would have to be determined. "1 hope my old commander will have a word to say." Cent al MacArtibr had beer standing by, his right hand hooked through Eisenhower's left arm. He disengaged his hand and stepped ove" to the rewsmen. "1 had a very pleasant reunion with the President-Elect. It was a resumption of an old friendship and comradeship of 3r' years stand ing. The subject was peace in Ko rea and the world in general." MacArthur said. As he left Eisenhower said. ‘‘I certainly hope it isn't another six years before we meet again." The meeting was brought about ' by MacArthur’s statement in a , speech to the National Association of Manufacturers th t there was a “clear solution" to the war in Ko rea. Eisenhower, homeward bound from Korea, radioed from the cruiser Helena that he wanted the benefit of MacArthur’s "thinking and experience." President Truman said in a press conference that Eisenhower's cam paign pledge of a trip to Korea was demagoguery. He also said he re ceived misinformation from Mac Arthur when he saw him at Wake island. Immediately following that meeting, Truman dismissed Mac Arthur. While the meeting was going on Eisenhower s head garters in the Commodore hotel announced that he would shortly meet With Repub lic a n Representatives Martin (Mass.), Halleck ilnd.i and Arend-. Gil).

END DOLLAR AID: Soys Secretary Sawyer Secretary of Commerce Sawyer. ) who headed a presidential mission i to Europe, has recommended the ! ending of American dollar aid to ' Europe This refers to the Marshall plan and the current mutual se curity program for economic pur poses. Sawyer told President Truman this country's most important con cern ..hould be to keep America prosperous. He made four points m his statement: 1. There was an almost unani mous opinion that the United States has too many people and too many agencies in western Europe. 2 A new look should be taken at the present handling and trend of the Point Four program, be i ause it is tending to become an other give-away agency. :i. It is clear the solution of Eu rope's economic problems lies not in the United States but in West ern Europe. 4 This country should not con tinue to Supply econo.Tiic aid un der the guise of military aid. "In every country we visited." the mission's report said. "Condi tions were better rather than worse than we had expected. "Permanent strength and sta bility for the westerli European allies do not lie in tontinuing Unit ed States subsidies and grants but in expanding production and trade.

I Shown is Ernest Gorris, 22, , of Glassport, Pa., who dis armed a live bomb with a 60 second fuse which had lodged in the bomb bay of his B-29 as the plane returned to Okinawa j from a mission over Korea. : It took him exactly 28 seconds 1 to disarm the missile which | Would have blown the plane apart.

"Two Old Friends"

General MacArthur shakes hands with Presldent-Elrd Eisenhower following their con ference in the New York City home of John Poster Dulles, secretary of state-to-be. Mac Arthur said he would meet again with Elsenhower to dis cuss the former’s “clear and definite” solution to the Korean War.

SIAMESE TWINS: First Wos in 1100 Although Siamese twins are rare they are unique. The Brodie twins, who recently underwent a separation opention*in Chicago, are the latest of some 340 cases recorded in medical history. The first was in 1100 when Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst were born in Bid denden, England. These sisters, joined at the hips and shoulders, lived fo: 34 £ears. After one died, the other rejected the plea of an early surgeon that he try to save her, and she, too, died a short time later. The most famous were Chinese twins born in Siam. It was from them that the term "Siamese twins" came into usage. The twins, Chang and Eng. enjoyed prosper ous careers with P. T. Barnum.

LINER HITS PIER: Only Slight Damage High winds sweeping across Eng land slammed the giant new liner United States against a pier at Southampton and delayed her de parture for home. The 53,000 ton liner suffered only superficial damage-. Seven tugs fought to get the vessel away from the pier, but finally had to give up because of the high wind. The liner was leaving for Le Havre and then New York but as the lines were cast off, the star board bridge wing, on which Capt. John Anderson was standing, struck two giant cranes. For a moment the United States was caught in a tangle of steel. HAWAII: New GOP Governor Hawaii Republicans are getting ready fur the day when, tor the first time since March, 1934. the territory will have a Republican governor. Hawaii's governo” is appointed by the president and. in turn, ap points the heads of the various ter ritorial departments. Gov. Oren E. Long, a Democrat, has announced he will submit his resignation on Eisenhower's inaug uration. to take effect at the new President’s pleasure. H awaii's last Republican gov ernor. Lawrence M. Judd, was not replaced by President Roosevelt until March. 1934. A movement is under way for the appointment of Samuel Wilder King. 65. for the governorship. He is Hawaii-born and has a quarter Hawaiian blood. He is a descend ant of Hawaiian chiefs and early settlers from New England, and is an authority on almost everything that pertains to Hawaii, political, historical and scientific. He is a graduate of the Unit .d States Naval academy and resigned from the navy in 1924 with the rank of lieutenant commander. He also served during World War II. leav ing the navy with the rank of cap tain. He has served several terms as delegate to Congress. Another possibility is Lt. Gen. Henry S Aurand. United States army, retired, who is now engaged in business in Honolulu. He is a 1 personal friend and classmate of General Eisenhower. However, he may be ineligible because, al though he has lived in Hawaii more than the required three years, most of the time he was commandirg general of the army in the Pacific. Military service in a community is not usually con sidered legal residence.

GERHART EISLER: Under Fire Gerhart Eisler. who fled the United States to escape prosecu tion and became a big figure in Communist East German politics, has been blamed for failure of ' Soviet zor.e propaganda and may be ousted from his post as chief of the information office. The criticisms came from Wi' helm Koenen. chairman of the Communist-run National Front, and Hermann Axen, chief of the Com munist party's agitation depart- I ment. at a meeting of the party central committee. Koenen told the committee, of which Eisler is not a member, that despite huge expenditures Eisler has succeeded only in producing a j “completely flabby campaign.” Axen demanded a "bas.c change : in the work of the information of- ! fice. " I John Franklin, of Richmond, visited Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jam erson during the we«*k end. Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Ownby and children visited his brother and sister-in-law in Tients Mill neighborhood Sunday. We hope the child that was scalded by' water is improving nicely.
