President Will Join Irish Society Tonight
Washington—(U.P.)—President Eisenhower may have won the battle of Europe but he surrendered to the Irish without a shot.
He is joining the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick tonight. And regardless of what he's been up to now, he's going to be a son of the Old Sod from here on out.
The only question now is whether he should be called O'Eisenhower, McEisenhower, or MacEisenhower. The local clansmen have been heatedly debating the pros and cons in between their St. Patrick's day glasses.
It is generally agreed that "Mac" should be tossed out because somebody might think it was Scotch by mistake. But there is no meeting of minds on the other alternatives.
In fact, there is a strong possibility the President will be allowed to keep the name he's got which is not Irish by any stretch of the imagination.
Mr. Eisenhower's ancestors originally lived in Bavaria, deep in the European continent, and moved to Switzerland in the 17th century and to Pennsylvania in 1732. They were not Irish.
But Howard W. Kacy, president of the local Friendly Sons society, said this doesn't bar Mr. Eisenhower from accepting an honorary membership. He pointed out that two other presidents—George Washington and Harry S. Truman—also became honorary sons without green family trees.
The Irish were celebrating all over town today, from the Irish Embassy to Commodore John Barry's monument. But the highlight is the Friendly Sons' annual dinner tonight
Kacy will make a short speech about how the society and the President both seek better relations among peoples. And he will hang a green ribbon with a gold medal around the President's neck.
Mr. Eisenhower will make a brief response and from then on he'll be an honorary Irishman.

State Farmers Move to City
Kansas farm population between 1920 to 1950 declined from 742,000 to 468,000 while the state's total population rose from 1,780,000 to 1,905.-.000, the University Business Review points out in its current issue.
While the entire population of Kansas increased 7 per cent, the number of persons on farms declined 36.9 per cent.
In the same period, the United States farm population fell 21.6 per cent and the total increased 42.4 per cent, making an unfavorable comparison for Kansas on both counts.
In 1920 41.7 per cent of all Kansas lived on farms; in 1930, 38.3 per cent; in 1940, 34.1 per cent; and in 1950, only 24.6 per cent.
The Business Review pointed out that in neighboring states the farm population decline ranged from 43.2 per cent in Oklahoma to 21.3 in Colorado between 1920 and 1950.
"These changes in the composition of the population have tremendous effects on the economy of 'he state,' the publication stated.
