^Greatest Secretary’
Eisenhower Lauds Dulles
Letters to the Editors
Editors, The purpose of this organization,
WASHINGTON, May 5 (A 3 ) —
President Eisenhower praised John
Foster Dulles today as the greatest
secretary of state in his memory
and sharply rejected talk of a maj
or U. S. diplomatic defeat at the
Geneva conference on Asia.
No- one, the President said, can
count a battle lost while it is still
going on.
Pledging unqualified support for
Dulles, who flew back from Geneva
yesterday, Eisenhower told his
news, conference the United States
will eontinue to Work for a collec
tive security arrangement for
southeast Asia.
Duties’ efforts to obtain united
action to stem Communism in that
area have so far been unsuccess
ful. For one thing, the British de
cided to wait until the Geneva
conference on the future of Indo
china and Korea is over.
Eisenhower declined to take the
view that Dulles has suffered any
defeat. As for the Geneva confer
ence, now nine days old, the Presi
dent said it “has produced no sur
prises. The expressed fears of some
have proved unfounded.”
Obviously answering congres
sional critics, Eisenhower said in
his formal statement that the Ge
neve conference has not been a
fivepower session-with Red China
sitting as a full-fledged member-
as he said “the Soviet Union, tried
to -make it.”

subjects, the President told news
men:
• TAFT - HARTLEY LAW—
Eisenhower would not like to see
the administration’s recommenda
tions for changes in the law block
ed by what he called extraneous
issues.
This appeared to be a reference
to moves to tack on a civil rights
amendment to the proposed revi
sion bill, thereby raising the threat
of a filibuster which could scuttle
the measure.
® BUSINESS CONDITIONS—
Recent reports indicate a prepon
derance of favorable signs for
business. But just as he cautioned
against too pessimistic an outlook
some weeks ago, Eisenhower said
he would caution against looking
at the picture through too rosy
glasses now.
® FARM PROGRAM-The Presi
dent said he had never heard of
reports that he was willing to ac
cept a one-year extension of the
present law for rigid high federal
price supports for basic farm com
modities.
He would not speculate whether
he might approve or veto a bill call
ing for continuing the present pro
gram.
• PRISONERS OF WAR - The
cai'dinal principle in the trials of
American POW’s accused of be
traying their comrades in Korea is
that justice will be tempered with
mercy in all cases.
There is a very deep understand
ing, he said, of the tremendous
pressures that can be applied via
the Communist “brain washing’
technique.
BROOKLYNITE SWITCHES

LARAMIE, Wyo.—UP)—Joe Ma-
strogiovanni, 1953 sophomore tail
back for the University of Wyo
ming eleven, will switch to block
ing back this fall. Mastrogiovanni
is a 5-feet-6 Brooklynite weighing
195.
The Battalion:
Concerning the recent organi
zational meeting of the “Young
Democrats Club,” there are some
points which should be pi-esented
for consideration in 'connection’
with the organization and the pur
pose for its establishment at this
time.
As was pointed out previously,
this group is associated with the
liberal element of the National
Democratic Party. This liberal ele
ment is the “Americans for Demo
cratic Action” group of new-deal,
fair-deal, left-wing pinks and poli
tical trash that have made resi
dence in our national government
for the past twd decades.
As a requirement for member
ship in the “Young Democratic
Club,” one must pledge his support
thereto. This in itself is contrary
to one of the reasons advanced for
the formation of the oi'ganization:
viz. “so that the students can be
gin to formulate their own political
ideas.”
The liberal element is not at all
interested in individual ideas; only
the party ideas (which consist of
the wishes of the leaders of the
“Americans for Democratic Act
ion”. Be the party Democratic or
Republican, no previous commit
ment on the part of anyone should
influence a person’s vote or choice
before or after that person has
given fair consideration to each
party’s candidates and platform.
It is true that it matters little
whether the organization is Demo
cratic or Republican if the state
ment is qualified by excluding the
liberal element of the Democratic
party. However, to say that this
type organization, such as has been
initiated, is to promote individual
thinking is nbt only ridiculous, but
an insult to any person who sub
scribes to individual thought.
A prime example of individual
ism was the Shivers-led support of
the people of Texas for the Re
publicans in the past presidential
election. This was the manifesta
tion of the weariness of the people
of Texas for the decadent as
sociation of scoundrels in our na
tion’s capital.
which is anti-Shivers, being in
stituted at this time is not ob
scured in the smallest sense in view
of the coming gubernatorial pri
maries. Never-the-less, a close
scrutiny of the policies and prac
tices of this organization by every
one would render it ineffective as it
now stands, I am certain.

Editors,
The Battalion:
It would be a fitting gesture to
the memory of George Pfeuffer,
and to the oldest standing building
on the A&M campus, if the corner
stone of Pfeuffer Hall could be set
in a small brick monument at the
site of the building, which is now
being razed.
A brick mason could erect it in
a few hours, and would certainly be
worth the small expense.
