At Muskegon, Mich., eight-year old Nancy Pohl was killed by a car as her mother, Mrs. William Pohl, watched her making the rounds of neighbors in the area to get the annual candy bribe for not playing pranks. A safe-and-sane Halloween party at the Detroit YMCA swimming pool cost the life of 11-year-old Richard Zinnikas who drowned as other members of his Boy Bcout troop slashed about near him.

Dwight D. Eisen hower will fly home from his French headquarters tomorrow night fer a two-day conference with President Truman on Western European military pro blems. fev LYLE C. WILSON (UP Staff Correspondent) ROCQUENCOURT, France (UP) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will put duty be fore all other considerations in 1952. But to the $64 ques tion he has no answer. The question ic: Will you be a 1952 candidate fer President of the United States? Gen. Ike isn’t saying. He isn’t saying “Yes” e.nd he isn’t saying “No.” V I had a conversation with Eisen hower today at his North Atlantic Treaty Organization headquarters. The general reolied smilingly to the political questions of a Washing ton reporter. But the time has not yet come when he can answer them. One statement only may be at tributed directly to Ike. He said he did not aspiro to the presidency. He has said that before. Before the 1948 presidential campaign, the general wrote bis cheering section that he did not want to be Presi dent-of the United States. But when Ike puts duty first, it does not appear to foreclose his acceptance of the Republican pres idental nomination next year. There cab be no doubt in his mind of a,ny pqtson who listens to the general now or who rend his speeches dur ing his brief time out of uniform that Gen. Ike will be a Republican in civil life. The general’s “duty” to his pres ent job at SHAPE was to put Wes tern military rearmament against communism on the rails. It is rail borne now although not moving fast. There is at least as much rea son to believe the general would feel able to return to civilian life in 1952 ns to believe otherwise. Sen. James H. Duff is coming here next month “to get a green light from Ike” for the campaign to nominate him on the Republican ticket. The Pennsylvania Republi can is likely to be disappointed. He is one of 100 or so members of Congress who are arranging to see the general during the recess. Scores of congressional and bus iness visitors have seen Ike in the past six or eight months. Celebration Quiet Here • Although there were spooks, gob lins and wierd characters aplenty in. this section last night most of the fun was closely supervised and officers in the area report very few comDlaints, none serious. There were of course, the usual amount of spurious calls, but even these were confined to a minimum. Cars left parked on the streets and store windows, the usual sufferers on Halloween were comparatively untouched. Credit for this is mainly due to the fact that plenty of entertain (Continued on Page Seven) BULLETINS CONWAY, S. C.
