Among the passengers aboard the U.S. transport General Patch when it left New York harbor for Europe last week were Mr. & Mrs. Frank Carlson. They were off on a month's trip to Europe to see their daughter Eunice Marie in Bremerhaven, and to visit Sweden, Great Britain and France. It was just a vacation, apparently. Nevertheless, the eyes of some key U.S. politicians were riveted on one Carlson stopover: Paris. Republican Senator Carlson of Kansas, one of the top men in the Ike-for-President movement, is going to Paris to talk with General Dwight Eisenhower...

...Lovett inherited a bitter squabble. In an effort to work out a long-range "Statement of Forces" and a budget for the next fiscal year, his Joint Chiefs of Staff had reached a deadlock. The Air Force wanted to expand from 95 to 163 groups (138 combat, 25 transport). The Army and Navy filed a strong dissent. Navy air (equivalent to 30 groups) ought to be included in the air-power total, they said. The Air Force should organize more transport groups and concentrate on tactical, close air support. Neither side would give an inch...
