Legislation is necessary to permit the general to accept the diplomatic assignment and still keep his Army status, which he does not want to give up. 2.

Clark himself has some work to complete as chief of Army field forces before undertaking the ambassadorial assignment. 11 is hardly conceivable lo believe lhat President Truman would have Per Week 25c MAIL RATES ON' REQUEST ly saw no wrong.

But this fraudulent mil tcrial was selling New York paper! NEW YORK It the ueopjo Df the United States had decent standards they would Instiiictivelv revolt against alt exploitations of public office for private gain, all Nepotism which Is a Euphemistic name for graft and has heen practised to a notorious degree by Presidents Roosevelt and Truman and most Governors and Mayors Tom Dewey being a distinguished exception and all ihe other familiar variations of sin. is not a priggish affectation fu object to sin in public lire. On the coni rary. it is a desirable minimum requirement of public servants that they hold themselves to behavior which is not only innocent under the Jaw hut virtuous according to Ihe decalog. Many sins are not statutory crimes.

Au excellent formulation of that proposition was written by Father Daniel Lord, S. of St. Louis, under the title "Open Letter To A Boss." The "Ross" thus addressed actually was Truman's political and ethical preceptor, Tom Peudergast, a laathesomu character of showy outward who robbed the people, degraded and depleted their educational and municipal systems, took toll of the shame of his regional neighbors' daughters in brothels run by his toleration, and so molded his protege thai we found Truman not only graft but belittling the enormity of treason in his pnlitical household. We have had no moral sinking spell in our history comparable to the Roosevelt era when a god man set the example Elliott's loans, Jimmy's use of the While House for a boub frap and Eleanor's tireless exploitation of Hie highest secular office on earth for money. The effect was tho worse upon the morals of the peopie because so many of them did regard Ibis cynical rascal as a God or a God sent guide and embraced his wickedness as good example.

A reformation doubtless will come in time, but the people now condone or take no notice of dishonesty which ought to shock them Father Lord's open letter re. minded the "Bass" that he had a religious obligation as well as a legal responsibility and held him accountable for scandalous effects as well as for these particular deeds of themselves. He admonished this "Boss" that the jurisdiction ot the confessional included mailers beyond the authority of the grand jury. The standards here bespoken would be no better than a reasonable minimum for the people Df the United States to establish for nil their public servants and themselves. Our journalism also has dirtied itself with practices which by honest standards, are unspeakable.

Government has neither a moral, religious, nor constitutional right to engage in denominational courtship to influence political patronage or to give it excapt through its stewardship appeal.

The union must include Western I Germany, Eisenhower feels In recent years, however, there is little to indicate whether the General is a party man, an independent "soldier of fortune" or an opportunist, politically, who might be persuaded to he a "Democrat" or a Republican" by those who might convince him of a winning margin on either side. At the moment it appears that the General, if he becomes a candidate at all, will be on the Democratic (Fair Deal variety) side in opposition to Republican Senator Tail of Ohio.

One of the major and widest planks of his platform will be, i anything comes of his promotion, a fight on what is termed Taft's isolationism. In other words, Eisenhower will campaign to keep American manhood scattered over the world provocative and threatening and supplied, (along with European and Asiasiic drones,) from i lie main arteries of American energy and resources until the point of exhaustion will be reached.

I SUCCESS OF SHAPE JIAY HOLD KEY TO IKE'S FUTURE IN POL VICS. SHAPE, HUJQUENCOURT, France (NEA 1 Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower had a birthday last week. He was 61.

His chief of staff, Gen. Alfred Gnieuther, passed word around in advance lhat no one should mention it to the general. When his wife kissed liim good hye in the morning, she made no mention of it. By late afternoon Ike was beginning to feel a little Then ins whole staff appeared, headed by Gnieuther. They lined up and sang to the tune of "You Wore "Ob, Ike had a birthday, a big happy birthday But nobody told him so.

Not even Moany (his sergeant valet), nor Admiral Capponi (ol his statfl or Mamie (Mrs. Eisenhower seemed to know. Instead of being cheery, the day seemed so dreary And poor Ike felt so alone.

With the world's weightiest problems surrounding the headquarters, general and staff have maintained their sense of humor and light touch which characterize high enlhusiasm and morale.
