EUROPEAN DEFENSES. “ee By ‘dwell Denny Foreign Diplomats Interested In lke’s Political Future, Too
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6—Gen. Eisenhower's
political future is as hotly debated among for-
eign ‘diplomats as by American politicians and plain citizens. Foreign experts are just as divided as the others. Of course diplomats don’t dabble in domestic politics, but their countries are affected by the results. ~
The Allied governments toox the position then that they could not raise more troops and undertake larger defense programs without the public magic of Eisenhower's name. His record in office to date. confirms them in that opinion. Even the Germans—his only critics at first— now approve of him. Though all of this is a great tribute to

The Defense Department has asked for 60,000 more

War started. Meanwhile, several thousand miles away from the
Korean battle front, the United Nations General Assembly opens in Paris today with attention focused largely on the problems of Europe. Gen. Eisenhower has rushed back to

But, as it has retarded the price spiral, it has slowed down defense bond cashings. The Treasury started its newest bond drive on Sept. 3. And in September, E bonds cash-ins of $299 million were the lowest of anv month since before start of the Korean War. Sales of E bonds that month were £230 million. The defense bond picture is not too® good and not too bad. Brightest spot of all, from the standpoint af . Treasury officials, is the apparent willingness of people who have held their bonds to maturity ta continue holding them. ;
new sales of $2.3 billion-—an excess of redemptions over sales of $800 million. Treasury officials point out this “deficit” would have heen considerably smaller had the $461 million in matured bonds which the owners continued to hold heen counted as new sales: The new bond drive has no dollar goal and is directed chiefly at getting more people to
buy -government bonds via the payroll deduce"
tion plan. No fnformation is available on Oectober results but during the January-September period an additional 1.2 million persons adopted the payroll deduction plan of bond buying. This brings the total number of persons now
