ABOVE THE COLD WAR
(Christian Science Monitor)
The Reds have been trying to take the “cross”
(symbol of its humanitarian purpose) out of the Red
Cross — a feat which would leave that organization
merely Red. But despite their injection of rancorous
political issues into the sessions of the International
Red Cross just concluded at Toronto, the conference
has maintained its neutrality and has ended with a
pledge to continue its traditional humanitarian role.
By Communist logic this makes it a running dog
of western imperialism, for the concept of neutrality,
of an impartial devotion to humanity transcending all
political and ideological divisions, is foreign to Red
thinking. He who is not for Soviet interests (as defined
by Communist propaganda) is held to be against them.
Hence the abstention of the Soviet bloc from the final
pledge of the conference.
It is important that the West should be clear on
this. Democratic thinking must necessarily admit the
concept of neutrality, whether it be the high impar
tiality in humanitarian service which has characterized
the Red Cross or the wishful, dubious neutralism of
individuals and countries which, one may privately
believe, will one day have to take sides.
THE NEW “G.I. BILL OF RIGHTS”
Most of the benefits to veterans of World War II
have been accorded to the veteran of the Korean War
period. Service on the Korean battlefield is not re
quired for one to become eligible. Any service man
honorably discharged since June 27, 1950, and who
has had 90 days of service, will be eligible.
ft
Veterans will be entitled to IV2 days of schooling
for each day of service after June 27, 1950, with a max
imum of 36 months except for World War II vets. The
veterans going to school will get $110 a month if single,
$135 if he has one dependent, and $160 if he has two or
more dependents.
The government will guarantee business and home
loans up to $7,500, and mustering-out pay is set at $100
for service less thar^60 days, $200 for more than 60
days, and $300 for service of more than 60 days and
overseas (including Alaska) service.
Nome shoppers these days put the cash in the
carts and carry the food.

Eisenhower Cuts Loose At Truman
Administration, Calls For “Wholesale
Clean-Out Of Political Bosses”
Stevenson Pleased
With Results Of
Michigan Speeches
SPRINGFIELD, 111., (/P)—Gov.
Adlai Stevenson said yesterday he
is “very well satisfied” with the
results of his sweep through the
industrial centers of Michigan,
and the reactions to his stated
position on the whole field of la
bor-management legislation.
, Back in his office Tuesday,
Stevenson started work on his
next major effort — a statement
of policies on a farm program.
He leaves Friday for Denver,
then goes to the national plowing
contest at Kasson, Minn., where
he is expected to speak as fully
on agriculture as he did Tuesday
on labor.
The Democratic candidate for
President has now laid the
groundwork of his position on at
least four erf the big issues in
the present campaign. He has
spoken out, at length, on foreign
policy, civil rights legislation,
Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wis
consin, and labor-management re
lations.
He has brushed such questions
as social security and what he
claims were the comparative rec
ords of the Republicans and the
Democrats.
He has not yet placed himself
on record—except that he strong
ly supports the Democratic plat
form—on agriculture nor on gov
ernment spending.
Finally, if he considers the Re
publican accusations of corrup
tion in government an issue, he
has not yet answered it.
The high point in his talks in
Michigan Monday came in Cadil
lac Square, in Detroit, where
Stevenson denounced the Taft
Hartley Act as “biased and pol
itically inspired” and said that it
| should be written off the books.

ATLANTA, Geo., (/P) — Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower Tuesday
called the Democratic administra
tion a mess of corruption and
scandal and demanded “a whole
sale clean-out off the political
bosses in Washington.”
The Republican presidential
nominee cut loose at the Truman
regime in earnest for the first
time in an address prepared to
open a flying southern campaign
tour.
“A ‘refreshening’ is not what
we need,” said Eisenhower.
“A face-lifting job won’t do it
either,” he added. “What • the
Washington mess must have is
the full treatment.
Eisenhower said corruption and
scandal were brewed by “too
many men who are too small for
their jobs, too b i g for their
breeches and too long in power.”
He said a wholesale clean-out
was needed to restore decency,
honesty and integrity to the na
tional government.
“This Washington mess,” he
said, “is not a one-agency mess
or a one-bureau mess or a one
department mess — it is a top-to
bottom mess.”
The general declared it was
enough to make Americans “hang
our heads in shame.”
/
The tone of the speech fulfilled
advance word from his regional
campaign headquarters in New
York that he would “pull no
punches on his Dixie trip.
Some of his warmest admirers
had complained that Eisenhow
er’s campaigning was too soft.
The general’s aides said, however,
that he had planned deliberately
not to fire his ammunition too
soon.
Eisenhower said the cost of the
“Washington mess’ was being ta
k e n out of every American
through higher taxes, higher pri
ces and by “cutting down the
value of every dollar you have
put away for the future.”
“You pay for the incompetence,
stupidity and corruption on the
part of those who have been
caught and those who have not
t »
been caught,” Eisenhower said.
He said newspapers reported
that “we are getting two airfields
in North Africa for the price of
five” and that the papers carried
countless other items concerning
waste.
The general asserted:
“If you are as sick and tired of
all this as I am; if you are as tired
as I am of picking up your news
paper every morning and reading
about a fresh government scan-j
Cordell Hull Still On
Critical List In Hospital
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Cordell
Hull remained on the critical list
Tuesday at the Bethesda <Md.)
Naval Hospital. A bulletin said:
“Cordell Hull continues to show
slight improvement this morning.
His condition, however, remains
critical.”
The 80-year-old former Secre
tary of State entered the hospital
Friday for treatment for cerebral
thrombosis.
FAIR EXCHANGE
LARNED, Ky.t (/P)—An elderly
man didn’t like any of the shoes
shown to him in a store here but
as he was leaving he noticed
those worn by another customer,
Chester Crane.
He asked Crane to let him try
them on. Crane consented.
The result: Crane walked out
in a new pair of shoes paid for
by the elderly man, and the latter
walked out in Crane’s slightly
worn, comfortably broken - in
shoes.
