desirable. Yet, federal aid, which
is a strong step toward socializa
tion, has received strong support
in educational circles. I feel grate
ful that Congress, so far, has
passed none of the several bills
that have been submitted. Every (
informed citizen should keep alert
to the danger of federal aid tj
education.

“IKE” Says:
‘I’m Not'Talking’
WASHINGTON, — (JP) —Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower said Sat
urday he meant every word in
his statement of Jan. 23, taking
himself out of the presidential
nomination picture.
The retired army chief of staff
talked with reporters as he left
a conference on defense with pres
ident Truman.
Asked for a direct statement on
the presidency, Ike said he did
not talk politics with Mr. Truman.
He added:
“I made up my mind to say
nothing more. I wrote a letter and
meant every word of it.:
“I told my aides they could do
the talking from now on. I’m not
talking any more.. I find it doesn’t
do any good.”
Eisenhower in a letter to a
New Hampshire publisher last
January 23 said he could not ac
cept a presidential nomination.
He said his decision to completely
remove himself from the poli
tical scene was “definite and posi
tive.”
That letter was written at a
[ time Ike was being mentioned
! prominently for the Republican
presidential candidate.
Since then Eisenhower has been
talked of for the Democratic nom
ination.
The general, who takes over
as president of Columbia Univer
sity in June, was in uniform as
he called on the president for a
1 30-minute talk.

Saturday among merchants, labor
unions and housewives to a pro
posal by finance minister Ans
comb that British Columbia adopt
a 3 per cent retail sales tax.

Wise Cop
LOS ANGELES, </P) — Police
man J. N. Coberly entered a tav
ern early today just in time to find
12 customers and the bartender
held at bay and a masked gun
man, with $542 from the till, go
ing through the door of the little
girl’s room.
“Ho-ho!” thought Coberly. “The
guy took the wrong door; we’ve
got him!” He locked the door
marked “Ladies” then called for
reinforcements.
When the cops, with drawn
guns, cautiously opened the door
they found, alas, that the powder
room had a window. That left
them with a natural question:
“How did the stick-up man know
that?”'
