A number of the leading merchants of Anaheim have pointed out that the change to Friday nights has become general, with stores in many Southern California cities eliminating their Saturday night hours in order to accommodate the buying public on Friday nights.

NAHEIM GAZET EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1952 MacArthur on Record Today as Not Supporting Eisenhower for Office By The Associated Press Gen. Douglas MacArthur is on record today that he does not support Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower "for political office." And, he said in a statement issued in New York last night, he has no "personal hatred of President Truman." "I have no personal feelings whatsoever with reference to him," he said. The statement followed publication by Newsweek magazine of an article that said MacArthur favored Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft for the GOP presidential nomination but would support Harold E. Stassen or Eisenhower if either beats Taft. MacArthur said "headlines, captions and advertisements which can hardly be regarded as supported by the body of the article itself, tend to create the impression that I am favorable to the nomination of General Eisenhower as the Republican candidate for the presidency and that I have a personal hatred of President Truman. MacArthur said this was "er- GOP convention: Get the Senate Foreign Relations committee to invite him to Washington next month to testify before Congress. The paper said its information was that Senator Lodge (R-Mass), the general's campaign manager, would seek the invitation and predicted "Democrats will not oppose it." This touched off another denial. Lodge said in Beverly, Mass., that he planned to make no such motion, and "any report to the contrary is complete fabrication." Lodge said the Eisenhower-for-president forces "are doing very well as we are, with our man 3000 miles away." In Washington, however, Senator Hendrickson (R-N.J.), disagreed. Hendrickson often bucks Taft's Senate leadership, but he said he believes Taft is gaining and Eisenhower is "slipping" in the presidential race. He said Eisenhower's continued silence is hurting the general's chances. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22 BECOMES MAMMOTH is San Francisco's famed afternoon, the second day and Railway strike.

He said he has a warm personal feeling for Eisenhower, but: "I do not support his candidacy for political office as I have no slightest knowledge of his politi- cal beliefs or his views on many grave issues which now confront our nation."

Atlantic Allies Endorse Creation Of European Defense Army Today LISBON, Portugal (UP)—The 14 Atlantic Allies formally endorsed today the creation of a European defense army including German soldiers. The vote was unanimous in a historic full dress North Atlantic council meeting. There are still political hurdles to overcome but the NATO endorsement represents a major U.S. diplomatic victory and a triumph for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, one of the strongest backers of a European army. This development came on the heels of agreement by the United States to give France an additional $570 million in aid to help the Paris government overcome fears among the French against seeing Germans in military uniform once more. The French have approved inclusion of German units in the European army, but with qualifications that may delay the actual recruiting of German soldiers. The council approved a report by W. Averell Harriman and his advisors calling upon the North Atlantic Allies for 50 divisions by the end of 1952 and possibly double that figure by the end of 1956.

No one was injured, according to the report but later, Shafer states to give France an additional $570 million in aid to help the Paris government overcome fears among the French against seeing Germans in military uniform once more.
