Truman Says "Ike**
Is “Good Friend**
(By Ernes! B. Vaccaro)
KEY WEST, Fla. (/P)—President
Truman today made it a matter of
record that he and General
Dwight D. Eisenhower are “good
friends and always have been.”
Apparently concerned ab o u t
stories out of Key West that he re
gards the former army chief of
staff as a candidate for the Presi
dency, the Presidential press sec-,
retary Charles G. Ross told re
porters:
"The President wants it to go
on record that he and General
Eisenhower are good friends and
always have been.”
Ross himself described the sto
ries as “souped-up” and said he,
knew of no intimates with whom
the President has discussed the ‘
possibility of Eisenhower becom-1
ing a candidate.
The White House reaction came
after Eisenhower, now president
of Columbia University, said he
was not a candidate, no matter
what any one thinks, and will not
be talked into becoming one.
“Does the Presidet regard Gen

A reporter asked Ross.
The secretary said "I don’t
know what is in his (the Presi

talking about it along those lines.”
The discussion took place at a
new conference.

HIGH SCHOOL
The American colonies, being of
English descent, were very fond
of tea. They were, however, more
closely attached to the principle
that taxation without representa
tion in Parliament was tyranny.
Late in November, 1773, Eng
land sent over three ships laden
with tea. The colonists refused to
buy any of the taxes tea. The wo
men brewed substitutes for tea
from bark and herbs. On Dec. 16th,
a band of colonists, disguised as
Mohawk Indians, boarded the
ships and emptied the tea into the
Boston Harbor. The tea was val
ued at $90,000. England ordered
the port of Boston closed until the
tea was paid for. This led to the
first Continental Congress in Phil
adelphia.
The High School basketball
team played the Transportation
Ordnance team which resulted in
a score of 63 to 33 in our favor.
Thursday evening, our boys play
ed a benefit game with Nome Bev
erage. The proceeds will be used
in helping to prepare for the
tournament down at Anchorage.
