WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUN- D British Said Alarmed at Growing Trend Toward Isolation in U.S. DREW PEARSON disturbing development in MOST U.S.A. to members of the Churchill party has been the growth of isolationism in certain sections. British observers who see the United States during periodic visits may have an advantage in diagnosing popular changes between those visits. At any rate they compare public sentiment today to that just before Pearl Harbor when the United States also was torn between isolation and international participation. This, incidentally, appears to be d borne out by the Washington poll of Republican candidates. At the start of this poll, Taft chalked up his greatest strength in the traditionally isolationist midwest; LLenhower his greatest strength in New England, the South and the Pacific Coast The poll, which is still continuing, also continues to show Taft strong In these areas. In fact, the voting runs almost constant in regard to Taft strength in the midwest, Eisenhower strength In other areasl Merry-Go-Roun- Atomic Artillery Though President Truman has been opposed to exchanging atomic information with England, one atomic secret, which the Churchill party has been told, is that our atomic neared the Statue of Liberty not is to mirawork going Billy Rose taking legal steps to ge: artillery on the battlefield cles as some had back into his Beekman Place menexpected. $175,000 that a Rembrandt age says This is not exactly a secret, for is being used to bar the door. ...
