Street Journal. WE ARE BEGINNING today the celebration of the 100th birthday or' the Morning Democrat. Your Early Bird is not quite as old as (he though wr- do feel like it at times- -but we have been around for quite a fair portion of (he Democrat's life.

Davenport has changed considerably since the days of our childhood. THE OTHER DAY, as polled p.bout the northern slope of Cork Hill we couldn't help thinking about that fact for the era was one of the "stomping grounds" of our youth. I This is the section of Le Claire and Farnam streets, and possiblj or Iowa streets. The south slope the hill was on those streets abou down to Sixth street. Work of paving both Eleventl and Twelfth streets from LeCllairc to Frirnam streets is now being completed.

BACK SOME 40 or 45 years ago the hill on Eleventh street from LeClaire down to Farnam strce was a rugged slope that was sel dom used except by pedestrian; A negro tenemant row which was popularly called "Klondike 1 at the northeast corner Eleventh 'and Farnam streets It was a slum area such as i would hardly be possible to find in the city at the present time Twelfth street did not cxis from LeClaire to Farnam excep as a sort of cowpath between two hollows My grandfather's home s'tood on a hill at the north east corner of Twelfth and Farnam streets so I went over this pathway every now and (hen LE CLAIRE STREET itself from Twelfth r.treet to Thirteenth street, was merely a dirt sort dirt fill over which the LeClaire -'reet street car tracks crossed. There was skimpy room for one-way horse and buggy traffic. Automobiles were then few and far between and did not venture into such precarious spots. For pedestrians there was a wooden bridge built along the west side of the street in this block. Thirteenth street was not paved from LeClaare to Farnam street and was not cut through from Iowa to LeClaire was a hollow.

Boys played with canoes in the ponds which formed at the bottom of these hollows in rainy weather am" fought play "wars" up and down the slopes at other times. IT IS TOO BAD that such char acleristic old-time Davenport place names have been allowed to sink into oblivion. We noted with pleasure recently that the Park board has called the playgrounds in the hollow between Ripley and Gaines slreats, just north of Wesi Ninth street, the Goose Hollow Playgrounds. This place name, it would seem, will be perpetuated. But who ever refers to North- vest Davenport nowadays as Hamburg? How many know that the East Davenport section east of the present Lindsay park was once known as Rogertown and the section around Sylvan avenue and Grand avenue south of Tenth gtreet as The Patch? HOW MANY newcomers to Davenport could now tell you where CHICAGO (UP) Democratic National Chairman Paul M.

Butler said Monday there will be "no change" in Democratic campaign strategy for 1956 as a result of President Eisenhower's illness. "We're still running against President Eisenhower or the man he picks," Butler said. He said the Democrats expect that if Mr. Eisenhower docs not run for re-election, he will handpick the Republican presidential candidate. Whoever the candidate is, Butler said, he will have to run on the Eisenhower administration's they think they have accomplished." But.

Butler, here to attend the ocratic mittee. campaign took note the Republicans advisory com- of reports that may seek to change their plans. He said he had heard "specula- lion" that the GOP may try to switch its 1956 convention site from San Francisco to Chicago. If they do switch, he said, he would expect them to schedule the conclave prior to the Democratic convention opening Aug. 13, instead of afterward.

Butler said the GOP apparently planned on a short campaign when it believed Mr. Eisenhower would be its candidate, but now might want a longer campaign to build up a new However, White House as recently hopeful, as last first meeting of a 29-member Dem-1 week Republican Chairman Leon- ard Hall denied that the GOP was considering Francisco. Butler said a switch from San advisory committee, meeting in closed sessions Monday and Tuesday, would make a "long range study" aimed at "improved political organization" of the party.

THE FAMED wit, under doctor's orders, was forced to spend a fow days in the hospital. The hygienic atmosphere, the austere routine, the clinical talk depressed him terribly. Visited by his lovely but untutored sweetheart, he sighed, "You don't know how I starve for a few bon mots in this place." The deeply sympathetic girl returned the next day and presented him with a largo, fancy box. "I couldn't find you any of those hon mots," she told him, "so I got you these chocolate creams.

Anderson (D-NM) of the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy Committee and other Democrats. He said that while the amount of money spent on "Operation Sherwood" is neither "large" nor "small," it is "quite significant" and is being "increased annually as fast as the project can absorb it." FACE GIGANTIC PROBLEMS Strauss said the AEG has "every intention of attacking as vigorously as possible the remaining prob- other that AEG these lems." But he and officials emphasized problems are gigantic. Light elements used in the fusion process must be heated to 100 million degrees or more before they will react.

Thus far, Strauss said, science -docs not know how to do this in any controllable way. At present U.S. research is concentrating on a heavy form of hydrogen known as deuterium as the likeliest element for use in the fusion reactors of the future. Deuterium is present in water to the extent of one to every 6,400 nuclei of ordinary hydrogen. Thus the oceans themselves, Strauss said, will be gigantic reservoirs of power if controlled fusior is achieved.

"There's enough deuterium in the seas," he said, "to supply 1,000 times the present power needs of the world for the next one million years." Peron Plans To Stay Out Of Politics ASUNCION, Paraguay D. Peron implied Monday he plan to return someday to his Argentina homeland. Until then, he said, In is through with politics.

"When I do (indulge in politica affairs)." he added, "I will return to my country." The former Argentine strong man, who arrived here Sunda; to begin a life in exile, gave nc indication when he might try go back home.

He fled to thi Paraguayan Embassy in Buenos Aires for asylum 14 days ago in the face of a successful revolt with in the Argentine armed forces against his regime- Then he movec to a Paraguayan gunboat docket on the Buenos Aires waterfront Because of his circumstances Peron's note said, he is unable to make "any political declaration or publicity" while in Paraguay. The statement was delivered by a Paraguayan army lieutenant to newsmen keeping watch at the luxurious private home of Ricardo Gayol, an Argentine businessman living in Asuncion. Screened by a guard of Para guayan police and tommygunners Peron took up his residence in Gayol house after his arrival by air from Buenos Aires.

Second Floor, Davenport Phone 7-8508 Stocks Take New Dive On Ike's Illness NEW YORK (UP)-Wall Street's concern over President Eisenhower's condition sent stocks down sharply again Monday. Cotton prices also went into a nosedive, because of fears Egypt will trade cotton for Russian guns and because of estimates of a bumper U.S. cotton crop. On the New York Stock Exchange, the industrial average tumbled $10.92, to $455.70, which was only 14 cents from the low mark hit a week ago in the big break that followed President Eisenhower's heart attack. The rail stock average fell $3.41 to $151.64, and utilities dropped 76 cents to $62.38.

A selling wave came with a break in the string of favorable medical bulletins on Mr. Eisen- condition. The heaviest selling was registered around noon, when concern was at its height because of a delay in the morning bulletin. Israel Protests Sale Of Arms To Arab Neighbors UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.

Israel protested vigorously Monday against the sale of arms by any country to her hostile Arab neighbors. She warned she might not wait passively for a decisive blow from the Arabs. Ambassador Abba Eban, Israeli chief told the U. N. Assembly that Egypt, which has concluded a deal for arms with Czechoslovakia, is conducting "macabre bargains in weapons of death." "In the name of our region's threatened security we are moved to appeal to all peace loving states to avoid rewarding Arab belligerency with arms; to abstain from disturbing the military balance on which the peace of our region has precariously rested for seven years," Eban said in the closing round of general debate in the Assembly.

"II is indeed hard to comprehend how any government which values its moral position can give or sell arms to governments whose pri- nary international objective is to larass, besiege, intimidate, and if possible destroy a neighboring state with which they refuse to establish peace. 'It certainly cannot-be righteous for any power to do that which is wrong for another power to do. Put Young People In Office: HST PITTSBURGH (UP) Former President Harry S. Truman told Pittsburgh admirer Monday "I will never be a candidate for office again because I think the younger generation should take over." "Thirty years in elective public office is long enough for any man, it seems to me," Mr, Truman said in a letter to Allegheny County Prothonotary David B. Roberts.

The county official had written Mr. Truman Sept. 22 expressing lope that the former President vould be a candidate for re-elec- in 1956. Can it be assumed that Israel, or indeed any state in like circumstances, would be Content to wait passively while a hostile neighbor, asserting or practicing a state of war, strengthened himself for the decisive blow?" Eban said Israel stands at the heart of the Middle East and is there to stay. He urged the Arabs to join Israel in regional harmony and cooperation.

The Arab answer was given by Ahmad El-Shukairy, Syria, who assailed Israel as a "spring-board of imperialism." He said that Israel "as a state has no roam in our lands." Shukairy proposed the Security Council set up a commission made up of the United States, Soviet Union and Iran to settle the problem of one million refugees uprooted from Palestine. a PAST 40 TrwWd wftfc GiTTING UP NIGHTS Poins to BACK, HIPS, IEGS LOSS Of VIGOR If you art A vfclto of these symptoms then ttfty ba traced to Glandulat Infltonuaatiom Glandular InflamiuatibA it A constitutional disease and that give temporary relief will not remove the causes of troubles.
