European Newspapers
Favor Eisenhower Choice
LONDON, (JP)—Most West Eu
ropean newspapers heaved sighs
of relief Saturday that General
Dwight D. Eisenhower—the Am
erican they know best—won the
Republican presidential nomina
tion. The Communists as usual,
dissented.
In government and diplomatic
offices, however, there was a dis
creet, tactful silence. Officials
declined comment foT fear of
being accused of meddling irvU.S.
domestic affairs.
Most newspapers happily as
sumed the Republicans’ choice
meant that, regardless of the out
come of the November presiden
tial election, Europe would be
assured of continued U.S. econ
omic and military aid in the fight
against Communism. '
The only sour note came from
Communist and extreme Left
wing papers. Moscow radio broad
cast the fact that Eisenhower won
the nomination but made no com
ment. It left it to the Western
Communist press to brand the
winner a “Wall Street candidate.”

Eisenhower, Nixon
Start A “Shining
Promise” Crusade
By JACK BELL
CHICAGO, (/P) —Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower set out Saturday
on a Republican “shining pro
mise” crusade for the presidency.
At the side of the 62*year-old
General of the Army—who won
the party nomination by blasting
down four rivals on a single bal
lot — marched 39-year-old Sen.
Richard M. Nixon of California.
Hand - picked by Eisenhower
and his advisers for No. 2 place
on the ticket, Nixon dramatized
the new QOP bid for support of
the nation’s younger people.
The Californian, a former lieut
enant commander in the Navy,
completed an Army - Navy team
chosen by Republicans at their
25th national convention. Nixon
was unopposed for the vice presi
dential nomination.
Acting swiftly to organize a
campaign he said will be dedi
cated “to the shining promise of
tomorrow,” Eisenhower called
available GOP members of Con
gress into closed conference to
discuss policies.
The general said he is prepared
“To sweep from office an admin
istration which has fastened on
every one of us the wastefulness,
the arrogance and corruption in
high places, the heavy burdens
and the anxieties which are the
bitter fruit of a party too long
in power.”
The nominee promised to make
a campaign in “every nook and
cranny of this land.”
Old Locomotive Still Bus7
ROCHESTER, N.Y., (/P) — Old
99 is busy going from party to
party these days.
The old locomotive, spruced up
in black and gold paint, is making
appearances at fairs and com
munity sesquicentennials and the
like. She’s still in her glory as she
was before the turn of the cen
tury when she was queen of the
New York Central.
Old 99 is the retired speed
queen of the rails. Her record of
112V£ miles an hour set back in
1893 still stands.
