Ike Under Attack For 'Mildness' By TED CRAIL Record News Editor President Eisenhower is now headed down the road toward the end of his second term and. even if he wanted it, which is unlikely, a third term would be impossible under the law which now governs the succession of ;he presidency. PRESIDENT EISENHOWE. In the next two years there will be many attempts to appraise the | influence that Eisenhower has had ! for good or ill, on the course of world events. Regardless of their talents or capacities, two men— the President of the United Stat es and he boss of the Communist Party in the USSR—are automa tically the most influential of all living persons. Probably no president in Amer ican history has enjoyed so much confidence from the people or so little from the legislators and oth er think-artists as Dwight David Eisenhower. An Englishman has called Ike a genius who has . suc cessfully masqueraded as an or dinary fella: Eartha Kitt has call ed him a nitwit. General George Marshall put great trust in his European com mander, General Eisenhower, and Douglas McArthur reportedly dis missed him with contempt. Pro fessors who knew him as their pre sident at Columbia were likely tc agree with MacArthur. These disagreements are com mon enough. One man’s genius is another man’s Spike Jones. His torians may gradually come tc agree that Harding was unfit, tha1 Coolidge was mediocre, that Ho (Continued On I'are . wo) A statement from Princi pal of Schools A. B. Johnson that it is usually adult pa trons at the football games who “cause difficulty,” the Dunn council last night agreed to place a policeman in uniform at future grid iron contests. They also told City Manager A. B. Uzzle, Jr., to see if the county would assign two officers to give protection at the ball games. Discussion of a letter from the principal calling attention to the fact that police were wanted cen tered around the short supply of policemen. Only two patrolmen are out on the streets at the time the football games are played. Assign ing one to the game means the other will have to work alone. City Manager Uzzle said today that" the policeman ara used to I working in pairs when the patrol I and “will be reductant” to split up during the ball games. “From time to time,” wrote Principal Johnson, “I have spoken to Chief Cobb of the police de | partment and to Mr. Fail or other I policemen about being present at most the same, that they are short I athletic events.

The Sunday School perfect attendance awards will also be given. All former members, pastor,s and friends of the church are cordially invited to attend. Sputnik Sure To Increase U. S. Spending WASHINGTON (UP) — Speculation may as well cease about where the Red Sputnik will fall, when it falls. The Red Sputnik will fall upon and flatten the United States tax payer's pocketbook, flatten that al ready-flat pocketbook even flat ter. No one in the administration is complacent about that although, from President Eisenhower down, the evidence is in that the lid of government spending is likely to be blown off again. Blown off and away with the lid surely would be any chance of tax reductions soon or, maybe, ever in the lifetimes of any but the very young. Likewise may be’ blown away such progress as has been made under the Republicon Eisenhower administration toward continued sequence of balanced budgets. And blown, too, will be such opportu nity as may be offered to check and control inflation by the reduc tion of government expenditures. Too Much Credit Given?

Abortion Kills Fayetteville Student Girl Blames 'Woman In Dunn' A 17-year-old Fayetteville: colored girl, who told her; doctor that she “went to a! woman in Dunn,” died yes-1 terda.v as the result of a • criminal abortion. Cumberland County Coroner Alph Clark didn't name the girl. He said that she was a high school student and had gone to a doctor on Tuesday to complain of being ill. The Negro physician. Dr. Wesley Allen, told the coroner he advised the girl to enter a hospital immedi ately. He said he had found her to be badly infected from a crude abortion attempt. Her only statement to Dr. Allen about who had performed the abortion was that she “went to a woman in Dunn.” Chief Alton Cobb, head of the Dunn police force, said Cumber land County officials had not con tacted him but, “They probaly will if that’s what the girl said.’’ In past months there have been “one or two reports” of abortion practice here, said Chief Cobb, but there has never been evidence available on which to base an ar rest. He saw no connection between the present death and that of Naomi Wilkins some months ago. The Wilkins girl, who died at a drive-in for reason attributed to a faulty abortion, lived in Dunn. Chief Cobb said the police had formed suspicions of who was re sponsible but were unable to se cure evidence that would lead to a conviction. He said it was un likely that the abortions on the Wilkins girls and the Negro girl in Fayetteville had been performed by the same person.

WASHINGTON (UP) — | Q u e e n Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, basking in the welcome given them by the heart of democracy, set out today on a brisk round of activities that include lunch with Vice President Nixon and dinner with Secretary if State Dulles. It was the second day of the royal couple's four-day state visit to the nation’s capital. Already they had found this city, blase abjout most visiting celebrities, warms to a pretty queen and a handsome prince. President Eisenhower, toasting the British sovereign and her hus band at a sumptuous White House banquet Thursday night, said this country’s respect for Britain was "epitomized in the affection we have for the royal family. . .” And Eisenhower took the occa sion to make what may become the West’s answer to Russia's earth satelliate. Labelling the sci entific and cultural assets of the free world far greater than those of Communisum, he called for a new scientific alliance within the North Atlantic Treaty Orgaiza-< tion to meet the threat of Rus sia’s missile and space achieve ments. Toast Ike The gorgeously - gowned young Queen, who toasted Eisenhower and wished him “every possible health and happiness," also did not ignore the scientific excite ment caused by the Soviet “Sput nik.” She pledged Britain’s cop eration in the “new age of dis covery and exploration in the technology” beginning to unfold. Her majesty, incidentally, un wittingly contributed to the first snafu of her visit to the New World. The meticulous British In formation Service had announced that the Queen wore to the White House dinner her “maple leaf of worn to a reception In Canada.
