GI Eviction Protests
Cause Order Cancellation
CAMP STONEMAN, Calif., UP)
— Twenty Air Force sergeants
just back from Alaska with their
families — awaiting delivery of
their automobiles before going on
to new assignments — were told
Monday they would have to get
out of dependent quarters at
Camp Stoneman.
The “get-out-or-be-evicted no
tification caused such a protest,
the order was cancelled last night.
Lt. Col. Guy M. Harvey, exec
utive officer for the Air Force at
Camp Stoneman, said he would
delay the sergeants’ leaving until
their cars arrive by military sea
transport. And Maj. E. J. Penetto,
officer of the day, said he would
overrule the barracks custodian.
The sergeants and their families
were waiting for the cars because
they want to travel on their own
transportation.

covering about a square mile has
appeared near the summit of
12,425-foot Fuji, Japan’s sacred

Job Too Important
For Political Stand
WASHINGTON, (JP)— General
Dwight D. Eisenhower said Tues
day that “if the time ever comes”
for him to speak out on politics
he’ll do so immediately.
He declared, however, that as
of this moment his job as su
preme allied commander in Eu
rope is much too important for
him to take any political stand.
He told a news conference that
no one has been authorized td
act for him in an Eisenhower-for
president movement, adding that
if he feels it his duty to speak
“no one will need to speak for
me.”
Eisenhower met with reporters
a few minutets before taking off
in his plane, the “Columbine,”
on his return to his headquarters
near Paris.
Eisenhower said that when he
accepted the combined western
defense command last year he
told President Truman he hoped
the assignment wouldn’t last “too
long.” He declined tto say how
long he expected to continue ’in
the post, saying, “The subject
never came up,, in his conversa
tions Monday with President Tru
man.
There has been speculation that
Eisenhower might give up his
European post early next year if
he decides to seek a presidential
nomination.

Another Reason Why
You'll Preter Budweiser

label proudly tells you what that beer is
made of ?
Here’s the Budweiser warranty. . .
choicest hops, rice and best barley malt
... brewed into one of America’s finest
genuine lager beers. That means that
Budweiser is not once, but twice fer
mented . . . aged much, much longer
than average. The result is the distinctive
taste that has made Budweiser the
world’s most famous beer.
MILLIONS HAVE MADE THIS TEST
. . . Drink Budweiser for five
days. On the sixth day, drink
another brand of beer. You’ll
want the distinctive taste of
Budweiser thereafter.
