ing the predawn sky with a sud

was touched off yesterday at the

Windows rattled in homes and

so little excitement that police re

than one.

less blinding than Sunday’s. And

and whether free governments
will continue to exist.
Just hack from a tour of Eur
ope, Eisenhower said there is no
question of western Europe’s de
sire to resist aggression. “There
“is a spirit to resist,” he said.
“There is a determination to do
their part—to take the risk.”

, He said, too, that Europe’s great
est need now is,not American sol
diers hut equipment which he
must he delivered in quantity and
quickly.
As to transfer of American
•troops to Europe, Eisenhower said
tpat should he dope in a ratio to
what the Europeans themselves
provide. .
Eisenhower sketched'briefly con
ditions in individual European
countries as he said he found
them.
He said there is “no question”
that France has “determination
tp face up to the threat of com
munism from within and with
out.”
And he said he found the same
spirit in Belgium, (Holland and
Denmark.
There is no question about Norf
way’s determination to resist to
the point of destruction,” he went
on.
He said he found in (Rome a
stiffening of Italian morale and
efforts to make that country’s de
fense force more efficient.
Eisenhower said he did not
want to speak now about the mili
tary potential of Germany.
He said diplomats must came
up with a political platform for
Germany which gives that nation
equality before any of its military
units could be used in an interna
tional defense force.
He sajd while it would be “false
and idle to say there does not ex
ist a spirit of pessimism and de
featism” in some quarters in Eu
rope, he feels there has been a
“rejuvenation” in Europe’s mo
rale.

the Boy Scouts of America is

something to look forward to.”
The President made no refer

new Democrats in the House of
Representatives, that this room
