Truman-Ike Truce Os Short Duration v Ended When Truman Blasts Korean Move WASHINGTON UP — The political truce between President Truman and President-elect Eisenhower was one of the shortest of record—an evenseven days. '•» It wds on Thursday of last week that Mr. Truman stated the grqupd rules for the new Democratic opposition. He said then* that the incoming Republican administration should be ghrien a chance to show what it can do before being subjected to a lot of criticism.. He said, for example, that lie would have no comment or criticism of Eisenhower’s nominations to high office until the new administration had a chance to■ take over and show its stuff. On. Thursday of this week Mr. Truman blasted, in language- unusually strong 'for a presidential news conference, at Eisenhower'S method of approaching the country’s greatest policy problem. That is what to do dbout Korea! and how. ’ \ What Mr. Truman still identifies as the Korean police action is the most stubborn and challenging bf the unsolved problems he is leaving to The new administration.

Truman sensed the deadly political impact of Eisenhower's pledge the instant it was made He was and is sensitive on the subject bf Kprea.

Senate And House ' Pages Lose Jobs • • ■ ■ « p ' Democrat Youngsters To Lose Positions WASHINGTON. JTP — Some high school who came to Washington for a first hand look at politics are aboS't to learp the. hard way the truth of an old political maxim: To the victor belong the spoils. Because the Democrats lost the recent, election, most of the 71 senate and bouse pages are going to lose their jobs. They will be replaced as fast as possible after Jan. 3 by youngsters appointed by Republicans; ] 7; , The pages are among at least 600 congressional employes »whose job prospects dropped to zero Nov. 4 when the GOP captured control of house and Senate and won the presidency. , Other congressional hired hands who will be packing their bags for home—unless they can find new Republican sponsors—include the capitol police, doorkeepers/clerks elevator operators, and workers who fold and stuff outgoing congressional mail. ' A page gets $285.23 a month whibe congress is in session and for 30 days thereafter. He must be at least 14. ready to start the ninth grade. He must not be more than IS. His woj-k is interesting, not usually arduous, and the hours j—by and large—are the best. ♦ The only drawback is the early rising. A special District of Columbia high School for pages, held on the third floor of the library of congress, starts classes at 6:30 a.m. daily. Most classes are over by 9:30, and the pages report to diotise or senate floor to start work at 10. They run errarids for members, distribute copies of the Congressional record to seat, answer telephones. They work until the day’s sessions are done, or until .3 pan., whichever is later. After work, the pages are \on their pwn. Some live with their families, some with other relatives and some in boarding houses. Nothing has come of recurrent proposals to house and feed the boys together, sq congress can keep closer watch over their offhours. !\ Several years ag) this gave rise to complaints. Some of the youngsters were caught smoking: Some of the older boys were reported experimenting wi|h beer. Questions were raised about the female company a few of the youths were keeping. , - A morals committee!- was appointed, comprising three old time pages who had parlayed their jobs' into permanent positions witn congress. Creation of the committee apparently had the desired effect. It nevter met. and still hasn’t filed a report. But as tar as the record shows, none of the boys has been in trouble since\ Naturally, the pages’ jobs are much sought after by ambitious youngsters, especially those who hope to get into politics—as many ex-pages have done. Frora\ past experience, there won’t be any shortage of applicants when the Republicans start filling the jobs. In the house, all 50 page jobs are plums for the majority party. In the sedate, It of the-21 are majority patronage. The other four senate jobs are. saved for the minority.

He said the people must “intensify their determination to respect human rights and fundamental freedom.” “Thoughout the wold, there are myriad souls that suffer in hurpili--atipn and'bitterness because of the white man’s assumption of racial superiority." Dulles said. “If freedom is to seem worthwhile, then our who profess to be the champions of liberty, must voluntarily practice human fellowship.” Dulles said much had been ?ac? cotnplished in helping (reedom-lov-ing peoples abroad through the Marshall Plan and that much * can be done through the Mutual Security Agendy and Point Four. “However, foreign peoples jane inclined to be suspicious of governmental grants, particularly when the grantor is the most powerful nation in the world,” Dulles said. 1 i 1 He said this suspicion was one reason “why all the $40,000,000,000 that our government has granted as postwar aid has not won m’bre good will.”

(UP) —Demands for . a Moslem ‘holy war’ against Erance in support of militant North African Arab Nationalists were made today by > a high leader of Islam at prayers attended by Hie military strong men of Egype and Syria. The appeal for a “jihad” or holy w-ar, was made by Sheika Abdel Latif Shashai. the high priest of the 1,000-year-old Al Azhar Moskue. ( “Moslems around the world/' he said, “are • liound by their sacred duty to offer their lives in defense of their brethren in. North Africa.” - Kneeling in the front row of the crqwd as Shashai spoke were Gen. Mohammed Naguib, Egypt’s premier, and Col. Adeeb Shishakli, vice premier and chief of staff of Sqria who is visiting here. Shishakli found Al Azhar, the theological center of Islam, seething -with resentment against France and her moves to put down Nationalist movements in Tunisia and Morocco. Thousands of turbaned student sheiks greeted the Syrian official with -the traditional Mohammedan war cry “Allah Akbar” God the highest. Earlier, the general congress of Azhar professors and students urged the Arab states to bre&k off economic and acultural relations with France and appealed for the nationalization of the Suez <>iml company, which is French controlled. Another Moslem leader. Egypt’s Mufti Sheikh Hassanein Mohammed Makhloof, also called for support of North African Arabs in an interview- with the newspaper Al Ahram. “We Moslems must give our all to support our militant brethren in North Africa, in application of our Moslem commandments,” he said. . » \ ' '
