Ike Strategy Seen Aimed At Party Draft by GOP

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (UP) — General Ike's 1948 strategy was aimed unmistakably today at making the Republican party draft him for next year's presidential nomination if the party wants him on the ticket. That is about the only explanation of Eisenhower's plan to delay until around May 1 taking residence as a civilian in the president's house at Columbia University, New York. Columbia announced yesterday that Eisenhower would move in then and would begin work as president of the university on June 7, after the annual commencement exercises on June 1. Eisenhower scarcely can announce for the presidential nomination while he remains in the army. By May 1 it will be too late to begin any major effort to win convention support in the states where there are significant presidential primaries. But Ike is being counted more than ever now as willing to make the presidential race if the GOP wants to draft him.

Rationing Out, GOP Bill Fixes Export, Credit Controls

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (UP)—Republican congressional leaders today agreed on a four-point anti-inflation program, including curbs on bank credits and voluntary allocation of industrial materials but no consumer rationing. At the same time, the senate banking committee approved, 9 to 4, a bill to restore controls on installment buying. GOP leaders said they would try to obtain passage of their four-point anti-inflation program before Christmas. The Republican program, ignoring the most drastic proposals submitted to congress by President Truman, would call for: 1. Extension of export controls. 2. Extension of controls over transportation. 3. Developing a program for voluntary allocation of industrial materials. 4. Changing Federal Reserve Bank gold requirements in an effort to check the expansion of bank credit.

Army Seen Putting Economy Before Strategy in Bases

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (UP)—A house armed services subcommittee today urged an immediate study on the need for shifting, scattering or remodeling U.S. military bases "because of modern strategic considerations." The subcommittee, concerned over the effects of atomic weapons, suggested that the full armed services committee recommend such a study to Defense Secretary James Forrestal. In a report on an investigation of bases in the San Francisco bay area, members indicated their belief that the army and navy may be bypassing strategic defense measures because of a desire to save money. ". . . We surmised that considerations of economy now are governing—to perhaps too great an extent—the strategic plans of the army and navy," the report said.

1,500 Arab War Veterans Vow to Banish Partition

JERUSALEM, Dec. 10. (UP) — Scattered Arab-Jewish violence took six more lives in Palestine today, and 1,500 armed Arab war veterans took an oath to fight an organized war against partition of the Holy Land. Arab raiders, attacking Indian fashion, killed a Jewish woman and two Jewish men as they worked in a field near Gaza, in an Arab area on the southern coast of Palestine. Only one Jew escaped the Arabs who suddenly swarmed across the settlement field. Another Jew was burned to death in the Beth Yaacov settlement when Arabs set fire to his house during early morning darkness. Two Arabs were found slain in Jaffa.

French Shun Russian Note

PARIS, Dec. 10. (UP)—The government refused today to accept a Russian note which broke off trade negotiations with France, ousted a French mission from Moscow, and set a trend toward a possible break in diplomatic relations. The import of the cabinet action was not made clear. It appeared to be a rebuff of the Russian charges of "foul slander" against Soviet citizens in France and of a French violation of a repatriation treaty. The new move in the exchange of reprisals between France and Russia came as most of the nation's strikers returned to their jobs in apparent acceptance of capitulation by the communist-led General Confederation of Labor.

Bad Girl "Cowboy" Foiled in Holdup

DENVER, (UP)—George Shaw, a Denver garage night attendant, thought the "cowboy" made a mighty clumsy draw when "he" pulled a pistol and ordered Shaw to put up his hands. The draw was so awkward, in fact, that Shaw had time to throw an oil can. When the can hit the "cowboy" on the head; Shaw jumped for the gun the western-dressed holdup dropped. Coming up with the gun, he found the cowboy's long blond hair had fallen down around her shoulders. While Shaw gasped in surprise, one of the "cowboy's" companions, dressed as a soldier, hit the garageman and the holdups fled.

Only 353 of 3,840 Students Will View Freedom Train

(Continued from Page One) will receive 75 for its total enrollment of 1,602. Ponce de Leon High School will receive approximately 235 tickets to serve an enrollment of 1,178, while St. Theresa students can count on but 35 ducats for the 750 pupils there. The Exmoor School will receive two tickets. Visiting Hours Balloting dates at the local schools will be set when exact ticket allocations are received by the principals. The hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. have been allocated to students and teachers. From 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. the train will be open to the general public. The Freedom Train, carrying a treasure of historic documents on a tour of the U.S., is scheduled to stop in Miami for one day. The mayor's committee in charge of the rededication week program here was unable to secure an extension of the train's stay in Miami due to committments for the train's appearance in 300 other cities. In connection with the train's visit here, old Fort Dallas, a historic landmark and museum, 400 N.W. Third St., Miami, will be thrown open to the public Saturday, Dec. 20. Everglades Chapter, D.A.R., and other groups are sponsoring the "Open House" at the fort where many items dating back to the Revolutionary War may be seen. Rededication Week events include "Woman's Day" at the Bayfront Park Auditorium on Thursday, Dec. 18, and a patriotic rally on Friday evening, Dec. 19. While preferential admission to the Freedom Train is being accorded students, the mayor's committee has pointed out that the number of people who may view the unique train from the outside is practically unlimited. It will be placed on display at the Seaboard railroad station, N.W. 7th Ave. and N.W. 26th St.

$3-Million Job Awarded Local Firm

(Continued from Page One) plants in the Miami area, with the Gables plant as headquarters. The $3,000,000 government contract will put Gables-built jalousies in Army and Navy installations throughout the islands of the Pacific. On tiny sand spits like Wake Island, sailors and soldiers will have only to turn a knob to get fresh air which will come in from the floor to the ceiling. The product is shipped from here to Eureka, Calif., where the Gables men have an assembling plant. There the slats of cedar or glass are slipped into the brass frames and the finished article goes to Oakland, where government ships take over. Pro-Tect-U has an assembly plant at Caracas, Venezuela, where the same process takes place as at Eureka, California. Miller and Huff began sending their jalousies to South America and the Caribbean during the war. They chartered three 150-ton combination sail and steam ships to ship them. But now the government handles the shipping and the two Gables manufacturers are out of the boat business. The name jalousie is a French word, Miller says, and that type of window was first used in Cuba. Miller's firm was one of the first to build them in the United States. The manufacturing process has changed considerably since Miller began making the windows back in 1924. Then it was strictly a shop operation, Miller says. He made his first product from yellow pine, because the wood is heavy and close-grained. Later, cypress, redwood and aluminum were used, but he found cedar and glass to be the best for general purposes. In Cuba, where they have lived with jalousies for generations, wood is still the favorite material, for glass, Cubans say, does not give enough privacy, and privacy is what the word jalousie really means. In pre-war days the Gables company sold a large part of its product in the islands of the Caribbean, because the natives wanted plenty of air and heavy wood slats are the answer to hurricanes. They can be clamped down fast, and in a blow a solid board resists debris better than glass.

Relate Dramatic Details Of Fight Against Polio

ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 10 (UP)—The dramatic work of the shock troops who fight an infantile paralysis epidemic—the Polio Emergency Volunteers—was detailed today at a national conference of women interested in combating the dread disease. Mrs. Leo J. Falk of Boise told how Idaho women swung into action when a poliomyelitis epidemic developed suddenly last summer. On July 1, she said, there were only isolated cases but two weeks later the count had grown to 11, with 10 of them in the Boise area. By November, 233 cases of Infantile Paralysis were diagnosed in the state. But the polio emergency volunteers — the Pev — jumped into action, funds were raised and housewives and businesswomen all over the state began nursing patients. Courses Scheduled After this experience, Pev courses were scheduled for every Idaho county in 1948. "We do not anticipate another polio disaster but we plan to be prepared if it comes again," Mrs. Falk said. Mrs. Bibb Graves, widow of the late Alabama governor, said: "Knowing the truth about this disease and the work of our chapter frees people from fear of the illness and the fear of being unable to afford proper treatment." Mrs. Leo F. Dwyer of Rochester, N. Y. told how Monroe county Pev's invited polio patients to their meetings, gave the girls corsages, the boys cigarettes and chewing gum, and thus built an alliance between worker and victim. 125 Women Trained "We have trained about 125 women who were particularly helpful during the polio outbreak this year," she related. "They helped care for about 150 patients from our own and surrounding counties." In Florida, said Mrs. Carl E. Dunaway of Miami, 60 workers who represent 200,000 women help spread vital information that overcomes panic during outbreaks. Their efforts also help assure better treatment and care of the stricken. Patients Inspire Workers Polio patients and their parents frequently are the most inspiring and devoted volunteer workers for the annual March of Dimes by which the public supports the national foundation for infantile paralysis, according to Mrs. Sydney A. Beggs of Lincoln, Neb. "I know a six year old boy who's been in an iron lung for over a year collected pennies from all his visitors — including me — at the polio unit of Lakeville State Sanatorium," she said. "Then he sent his collection to his hometown chapter 'to help some other little guy'." Mrs. Milton Fridgo of Jackson warmly praised the work of Mississippi high schools which established science courses to teach students the nature of polio and how to fight it. In Louisiana, said Mrs. Rodney Toup of New Orleans, a polio course at Charity hospital attracted mothers of victims, mothers who feared for their children, grandmothers, registered nurses, gray ladies and nurses aides. Seventy-one per cent of the earth's surface is covered with water, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Georgia Loses Teachers Faster Than Supply

By JULIAN GRANGER UP Staff Correspondent ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 10 (UP)—Georgia is losing more school teachers now than during any one of the past 10 years, it was disclosed today, and at the present rate its entire teaching force — hypothetically — will be gone in less than another decade. Figures released by the state department of education showed that, from an all-time high of 25,032 teachers in 1946, the total has dropped to 22,354 this term, setting Georgia back even below the "lean war years." But today, according to Dr. J. I. Allman, assistant state school superintendent, the lure is not high-paying jobs in industry as during the war but greater-salaried teaching positions in adjoining states. In some cases, he said, the emigration to classrooms in other states is far greater than the wholesale walkouts from the teaching profession in World War II.

Italian Club Spotlights Music

"Italian Music" will be the theme of the evening when the newly organized Italian Club of the University of Miami holds its second meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Lecture Hall on the Main Campus. Following an address on the subject of Italian music, to be given by Dr. Arturo di Filippi, members of the organization will furnish a program of Italian music. The main purpose of this organization, which meets once a month, is to raise enough money to send a member to Italy to study. Miss Anna Ceci is the sponsor of the group.
