General ‘Ike 5 Being Pushed For President Washington, Oct. 17 — (/P) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower once again has become a presidential possibility for 1952 and the big threat to all other would-be candidates, Re publican or Democratic. That is true despite the Gener al's statement that h’e has not changed his mind about staying out of politics. To Washington political experts it is apparent that the plug Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York put in for Eisenhower as a 1952 Republican presidential candidate has three important results: • Whether he likes it or not, General Ike definitely has been shoved into the 1952 political pic ture and will stay there unless and until he takes himself out just as definitely. •' Dewey’s pledge to work for the popular soldier-educator makes it rough on any other Republicans who may be hopefully eyeing the White House. Dew r ey lost as the GOP Presidential candidate in 1944 and 1948, but he still is head of the Republican party and still has a lot of influence in it • President Truman now would find it more difficult to pick Eisen hower to command a proposed in ternational army to defend West ern Europe against Communism. There has been much speculation that the Columbia University pres ident might be called back into un iform for this assignment. But if Mr. Truman sent Eisenhower to Europe now he might lay himself open to charges he was trying to get out of the country the man who might be his most dangerous pol- tial nomination in 1952. As a five-star general, Eisen hower still is on the Army’s list of active officers. Now (i0, the for mer supreme commander of Allied forces in Europe could be put on duty at any time. Eisenhower has said over and over for more than two years that he is not a candidate for public office, that he is a man without political connections or ambitions, that he has a job to do at Columbia. Ordinarily a person wouldn’t have to repeat it every week to convince people he meant what he said. But Dewey’s support for Eisenhower created an exceptional situation. Nobody of Dewey’s stature in the Republican party had come right out before and said he would back the General for the Presiden tial nomination in 1952. Pennies Short—Mini Broke. Philadelphia, Oct. 17—(TP)—Employes of the Philadel phia mint are working overtime to meet a shortage of pen- ' nies and other coins. Edwin H. Dressel, superintendent of the U. S. Coin Fac tory, said yesterday the stepped-up operations have been go ing on for the last two weeks and will continue indefinitely. The demand for coins, especially pennies, “came up so quickly,” Dressel said the mint wishes it had a much larger work force than its appropriation permits. 1 “It’s a case of not having the money to make money,” In Orono, Maine, a favorite gather ing spot of students at the University of Maine is the Snack Bar in Carne gie Library because it is a cheerful^ place—full of friendly collegiate atmosphere. And when the gang gathers around, ice-cold Coca-Cola gets the call. For here, as in college haunts everywhere—Coke belongs. Ask for it either way ... both ' trade-marks mean the same thing.
