Page 2, The Herald, Thursday, November, 1, 197? Mamie passes away as quietly as she lived WASHINGTON (AP) Mamie Eisenhower, widow of former president Dwight Eigenhower, died peacefully in her sleep early today at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre, officials said. - Doctors said the 62-year: old Mrs, Eisenhower died of heart failure, She had been in delicate health and bedridden for months before suffering a stroke Sept. 25. The stroke paralysed her right arm and impaired the use of her right leg. Just as the world knew her husband by the childhood nickname of Ike, so his wife was recognized simply as Mamie. Her trademark — from youth through old age, no matter what the fashion — was the way she wore her hair in bangs across the forehead. Mra, Bisenhower had lived alone and lonely on a the oles ysburg, Pa., at e oie civil war batUefield ever since her husband died in 1969. Their marriage, begun.when he was a young lieutenant in the U.S. Army, had lasted almost 88 years. “| miss this man of mine,” Mrs. Eisenhower would tell interviewers, “He was my life.” Since Eisenhower's death, his widow lavished her at- tention on her four grand- children, the children of son John and his wife Barbara, and her four great- granddaughters. . The Eisenhowers’ . only other child, a eon named Doud Dwight, died in 1921 of scarlet fever at the age of three. Eisenhower, a West Point graduate reared in Abllene, Kan., and Mamie Doud, who grew up in wealth in Colorado, were married July 1, 1916, the day he was promoted first leutenant. She was always behind him, if not at his side, as Eisen- hower rose through the ranks to five-star general and supreme commander of. the Allied war effort in Europe in the Second World War, Just aa easily she stepped irito the role of first lady -when the military com- mander became com- ‘mander-in-chief as the 34th president of the United States, She was a gracious White House hostess and often was found on the lists of * bestdressed women, although she never tried for ‘arole or identity of her own, Ike once introduced ‘Mamie as “my invaluable, ‘Indispensable, but publicly inarticulate lifelong part- r. . And she, {n turn, would say: “I was Ike's ‘wife. That's what I always have been and always will -be,”’ Qnce asked how she felt about the Women's Liberation Movement, Mrs. Eisenhower said; “I never knew what a woman would want to be liberated from.'' After Elsenhower’s death she endured in silence the reports that her husband had a torrid romance with Lieut. Kay Summersby, his war- time driver, and that he once thought of divorcing Mamie to marry the young British woman. | The rebuttal to the divorce story was left to son John. In & preface to a collection of Sovereignty association touted By KEVIN DOUGHERTY QUEBEC (CP) — The Parti Quebecois govern- ment’s white paper on sovereignty-association argues that renewed fed- eralism is a dead end and sovereignty-association is the only way out of Quebec’s constitutional deadlock. "TE we really want a new agreement between Quebec and the rest of Canada, we must substitute for federalism a new con- stitutional formula,” the document says. “Recent history proves the impossibility of renewing Canadian federalism in a way that could answer the needs of both Quebec and Canada," The white paper Is to be re- leased later today but despite heavy security measures the French- language daily Journal de Quebec obtained a copy of the 42-page resume of the paper entitled La’ Nouvelle Entente Quebec-Canada, The New Quebec-Canada Agreement, and published excerpts, Recent polla, including one commissioned by the Quebec government, indicate thet renewed federalism is more popular among Quebecers than the PQ's sovereignty- asepclation option, Supporters of renewed federalism “have come to assert that a negative response by Quebecers in the referendum would give the signal for a fundamental reform of Canadian feder- aliam,"' the document says. A “No” vote in next spring’s referendum would be seen by English Canada as a vote for the status quo. “This reaction is alt the more likely because in Quebec supporters of the “No" will not have been able to agree on a concrete for- mula of renewed federalism,” the document Bays, It describes Confederation as a “misunderstanding.” French Qflebecers saw the 1867 pact as a way of safeguarding the rights they had, while Englishspeaking Canadians considered it a way to install a strong cen- tral government in Canada. The paper says renewed federalism could lead to the fame sort of misun- derstanding since English Canadians see it as only “tquched-up federaliam’' while Freneh Quebecers want more fundamental change, o . The paper predicts that “by their positive response in the referendum, Quebecers will express their desire to reach a new political agreement with the rest of Canada, founded this time on juridical equality of the two les."" “An affirmative vote by Quebecers will thus in fact be a mandate entrusted to the Quebec government to achieve this new agreement by means of negotiations, “By its vote, the Quebec . people will have clearly laid the groundwork for negotiations on the principle of Quebec acceding to the Status of sovereign state, In law and in fact, and of association with Canada. Sovereignty doesn't go without association — they are indissociable,” The paper delyea into what it calla injustices suffered by the Quebec people from early colonial days up to the present. And it argues that the need for. full political sovereignty is becoming indispensable for Quebec as the population of the province continues to decline as a proportion of the Canadian total. It notes that Quebecers made up 28 per cent of the Canadian population in 1971 and estimates that by the year 2001 the percentage will dip to 23 per cent, Sovereignty-association would fulfil ‘the fun- damental preoccupation” of Quebecers, who ‘‘want to communicate and dialogue directly and freely with their neighbors and with other nations, who have no In- tention of destroying Canada or of being entirely separated from it, who hope to improve their ‘general situation. ... “The Quebec government shares these preoccupations and has made them its own preoccupations.” . The paper Says federalism, once seen as a Dying clown plays on. CHICAGO (AP) — They helped Jack Thum into his clown suit and wheeled him on the hospital auditorium stage. As 400 school children cheered and laughed, the way of allowing both autonomy and _inter- dependence, is on the way out. "No new federations are being created, but economic associations are being set up and are multiplying on every continent, . “Tt is this type of modern formula of association between sovereign countries that the Quebec government is proposing, to assure Quebec greater mastery over its own affairs without breaking apart the Canadian economic framework. “The Quebec government wants to propose to the rest of Canada that it remain associated in setting up not only a customs union and a common market, but also a monetary union. That way we can'keep Canada intact as an economic space while - giving Quebec all the powers it needs as & nation to assure its full development.” dying clown blinked back tears, It was not just another hospital visit by Thum, who estimates he has performed before sick and ailing children more than 2,000 ‘*ke-toMamie | letters, Eisenhower called the allegation an “egregious falsehood." 2 At the time of the stroke, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, daughter of former president . Richard Nixon — and Eisenhower grandson David, said Mamie had been in frail health for years and that she had been confined to her bed because of an enlarged heart. . In the early years of her widowhood, trying as she said “to plek up some of the pieces he left undone,’’ Mamie was frequently at fund-raising and dedication events for the many Eisenhower memorials. After a succession of illnesses that brought her again-and again to Walter Reed, she was forced to cut “down on those ‘activities, Mrs, Eisenhower applied for residence at Army Distaff Hall, a home for U.S. Army widows in Washington, but there was no room in the 300-capacity residence even for the woman who bore the name of one of the most distinguished soldiers in U.S: history. Instead, she moved to Wardman Towers, the Washington apartment - building where she stayed when Eisenhower was in Europe. “But she preferred the farm," Julie said. The Eisenhowers bought the 23-aere farm in 1949 when he was president of Columbia University. Ike transferred title to the U.S, interior department for development a3 a national shrine, although Mamie was granted use of the ‘white frame Jarmhouse during her lifetime. _ In later years, her public appearances were rare. And yet, thealtre-goers in Washington sometimes would be startled to see that familiar face topped by hair’ worn in bangs, escorted times in his 23 years as a down the aisle by a Secret : ’ professional clown. ce agent.

Born of the merger of the Provincial Bank of Canada and the Bank Canadian Natlonal, the National ranks sixth among chartered banks, with assets of $16 billion.

Others spread said fat OTTAWA (CP) — Lome Nystrom, New Democratic food critic, says he wants people who use margarine to know how much fat they are spreading. Nystrom urged the government Wednesday to release names and results of 95 margarines tested for fatty acids which have been linked to heart disease. Agriculture Minister John Wise said he would check with department advisers to see why the brand names had not been released. Nystrom (Yorkton Melville) said results of the study, commissioned last year by the Canadian dairy commission, were released In August. He said over half the brands had high fatty acid contents, which some’ say should be avolded by people with heart diseases, The Ottawa heaith d - ment has warned people in nutrition brochures to eat jess animal fats. These are saturated or solid fats found in butter, meat, cheese, whole milk, chocolate and some vegetable fats or margarines which are hardened or hydrogenated. The department says s0- called polyunsaturated vegetable fats found in safflower, corn, soy and sunflower should be q. The' dairy Industry says there is no hard evidence to prove the reduced saturated fat intake will reduce the risk of heart disease.

Croll said in an interview that public hearings on the subject have ended, The Senate endorsed Croll’s proposal to form the committee Inte in 1977 after he argued ‘retirement at 65 made sense only in the 10th century when the average life expectancy was 49, “Clearly what is needed is some freedom of choice for people who reach retirement age," he said at the time, In the 19803, young people revolted against work, Now the old age are revolting for work, Begin to move settlements JERUSALEM (AP} Prime Minister Menachem Begin’s government decided teday to comply ‘with a Supreme Court order that a controversial West Bank settlement be removed and ordered a search for a new Cabinet secretary Arieh Naor said the the govern. ment would move the Elon Moreh settlement within the - time limit set by the court, Israet's Supreme Court ruled Oct, 22 that the Elon Moreh settlement near the Arab town of Nablus on the Israeli-occupled West Bank of the Jordan.

Carter against paper law WASHINGTON (AP) - The Carter administration is oppeaing changes in estate . tax laws designed to prevent purchase of independent newspapers by chains, a U.S, peat department official Harry Gutman, deputy tax legislative counsel ned the department, told a Senate finance subcommittee Wednesday the changes would cost the government about $10 million a year and benefit only a small group, He also sald the bill “would, at best, make it less expensive to pass newspapers from generation to generation.” The bill’s supporters say the measure is intended to correct a market situation in which big companies are virtually alone in having the ability — and the willingness — to pay high prices for locally-owned newspapers. The key provision of the bill would allow a local newspaper owner to set up @ tax-exempt trust to pay estate taxes, which are based by the Internal Reve- nue Service on market value. 5 s a Chung’s power increasing SEOUL (AP) — Gen, Chung Seung-hwa, the army chief of staff who automatically became martial law commander after the assassination of President Park Chung-hee, in emerging as the strongest figure in postPark govern. ment, informed sources said y.
