Gen. Ikes Political
Philosophy Outlined
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON OP) General
Dwight D. Eisenhower calls his po
litical philosophy the __ “middle
road."
He began outlining his views on
lomestic issues in 1949-50 during
the comparatively brief period in
his adult life when he was out of
•jn'form.
Eisenhower never got around to
stating his detailed position on
many questions. But some of his
general statements were cuttingly
critical of Truman administration
policies. Some elements of the.
Democratic coalition left wing
Eisenhower for President in 1948
turned angrily against him.
The New Deal Americans for
Democratic Action who sparked the
1948 Eisenhower boom decided
Ike’s ideas on individual economic
sescuritv were those of an “advo
cate of a Jungle state."
“If all Americans want is asew
go to prt*jn/’ 1 *IHe 1 He warntd, too
against security objectives which
would matt, us a “nation of kept
men and sshmen.”
COOPERATIVE UNITY
Eisenhower’s best known policy
Is for a co-operative world ' ulti
mately and tight mutual defense
as of now. He favors large Ameri
can aid to those ends. Here are
some quoted or paraphrased ex
pressions of Eisenhower’s foreign
and domestic policies.

requires international disarma-.
ment, a United States police force
and world co-operation to promote
Justice, freedom and economic op
portunity. Standing alone in a
world otherwise dominated by com
munism, our system would have to
wither away. The general is a 100
per cent advocate of the North
Atlantic Treaty mutual defense
efforts; insists Western Europe
must unify politically and econo
mically. Eisenhower said interven
tion in the Korean war was “in
escapable.”
Taxes: "How far can a govern
ment go in taxing away property
rights and still not leave that gov
ernment the master of the people
instead of the servant?"
Government Economy: “If sol

discernible.”

Plans New Building
Plans for a beautiful new moder
nistic building to house the Dunn
Oldsmobile agency and Lee’s Truck
Terminal were announced today by
Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Lee, owners
and operators of Lee Motors, Inc.
and Lee’s Truck Terminal.
The building now occupied by
Lee's Truck Terminal on the Fay

nized and enlarged to provide large
display rooms, parts department,
service department and all other
facilities needed for the combined
operation of the two business firms.

Tilghmans Attend
NEW ORLEANS —flß The Na- i
tional Cotton Council ended its 14th
annual convention here today
pledged to fight any further gov
ernmental i assistance to the syn
thetic fiber industry.
(Mr. and Mrs. Myres Tilgh
man of Dunn are in New Orleans
attending the convention).
Sen. Allen J. Ellender, chairman
of the Senate Agriculture commit
tee, promised some 700 delegates
yesterday “continued vigilance” to
oppose any moves by the govern
ment to expapd growth of syn
thetic fiber plants.
“Such expansion would provide
unnecessary and troublesome com
petition for cotton growers,” Ellen
der declared In his keynote ad
dress.
The Louisiana Democrat also
said 4 per cent more cotton must
be raised by the nation’s farmers
in 1952 to meet a government
quota of 16.000.000 bales.
MUST MEET GOAL
Both EUender and Council Presi
dent Harold A. Young of North
Little Rock, Ark., agreed that the
production goal must be met to
counteract the threat to the indus
try from synthetic fibers.
But Ellender warned farmers
cannot concentrate on cotton alone
because the feed situation in the
South is “grave.”
"TO be strong,” he said, “we
must have the grains as well as
the cotton-and there is only so
much land."
