| Soldier Would Be Qualified

Not in Close Touch With U. S. Thought

WASHINGTON; Feb. 17 (U. P.). ~Friends and boosters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower said today ‘the general does not think a lifelong professional soldier would make the best presidential timber. Many admirers and would-be political associates of the army chief of staff have urged him repeatedly to make himself available for the 1048 presidential eontest but he has

It was learned that a group of somie of his oldest friends in the Midwest made an especially urgent plea about six months ago but he told them it was out of the quesOffers Arguments Gen. Eisenhower, it- was sald, offered these basic arguments against his candidacy: ONE: His entire training and background are military. He ‘feels that military men, no matter how distinguished in the arts of warfare, are not ideal presidential timber. He does not believe a professional soldier is in close enough touch with the mass of American thought. TWO: Because he feels that President Truman will be the 1048 Democratic nominee, he does not want to be in the position of running against his commander-in-¢hief. THREE: In his own case — the ease of a professional soldier — Gen. Eisenhower feels he reached the pinnacle in accepting the German surrender as allied commander in Europe. Not for a moment does this imply any disregard for the presidency but simply his feeling as a military man who has reached the peak in his chosen field. The friends who heard these arguments six months ago say the general's attitude remains unchanged today. Consequently, they are convinced he will never be ! available for the presidency.

County Delegates Discuss ‘Hot Bills’

The Marion county delegation of the lower house went into secret session at noon today to discuss “hot bills.” Indications were that the delegation may take action on HuflDowny house bill 377, which would enable Mayor Tyndall to go outside the police department to pick a police “chief. The Fortune-Grant bill to outlaw segregation or discrimination oh basis of race or color in any school also appeared to hold top spot. . The police chief measure, which has been in committee since Feb. 6, also would give the mayor exclusive power to appoint or dismiss the police chief. Such action at present require approval of the safety board. Extra Pay Bill Introduced On today’s calendar for passage
