Eisenhower Concludes European Defense Survey Stops
In Brussels on January 10, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, touring 10 Western European nations, reported to associates he is "reasonably well satisfied" with defense prospects after visits to France and Belgium.

A large crowd cheered him in Brussels while Paris saw a Communist demonstration opposing his visit.

Ohio governor urges defense build up and tax reform
Governor Lausche calls for a strong Ohio defense corps with full standby strength and complete civil defense. He proposes a $250,000 biennial Civil Defense budget plus a $5 million emergency fund, studies on bomb shelters, and potential $86 million shelter costs funded by taxes. He warns against expanding subsidies and favors broadening local tax bases. He also recommends replacing the stamp sales tax with gross receipts tax and aligning pari mutuel taxes with other states. Local governments would gain revenue authority to collect liquor licenses, totaling about $7.64 million. He opposes changes to workmen’s and unemployment compensation and supports a $2,400 minimum teacher salary with added aid and a public building authority to finance schools. He backs fair employment practices legislation and a state commission for enforcement.
