lished i n Europe. 1t is to say
that when they talk of their in
terest in democracy they should
not mean strategic or economic
interests. 1t is to say that unless
willing to give Russia a larger
voice in the East they will find
it awkward to claim larger voices
in the West.
Neither the President nor the
Marshal can we'll afford to, see
Russian-American relations de-
teriorate further. Mr.. Stain may
count on some cooling of Ameri-
can interest In Europe. and Mr..
Truman may be satisfied with the
American position in the Pacific.
But neither can be very pleased
with the overall picture, which
fits 80 beautifully the ideas of
those who want or fear war.
Both leaders have an interest in
finding a working arrangement
which, if it does not remove re-
current Observation-Disclosures. will
outweigh them with larger ex-
anples If cooperation. T h e

HOPE FOR GOOD WILL

There is reason for hoping that
President Truman and Marshal
Stain are moving to repair Rus.
sian-American relations. The cir
cumstances surrounding Ambas-
sador Gromyko's sudden depart.
ure for Moscow in an army bomb
er after a one-dsy stay in WASH
ington and a visit to the White
House encourage such = hope.
He may have brought . Stain
message; he almost certainly car
ried Truman message.
The situation calls for cx-
changes on the top level. 1t calls
also for proposals big enough to
cut clear behind petty frictions
and establish larger areas f
cooperation. Working arrange
ments are possible certainly for
the present either on the basis
of virtually exclusive spheres of
influence or on the basis of each
having a finger in the others
pie. The folly of trying to use
both methods without any agreed
arrangement is being written
daily in headline squabbles.
From Moscow's viewpoint, Bri-
tain is keeping Russia distinctly
on the outside in Greece and the
Near East. while t h e United
States claims an exclusive sphere
not only in the Western Hemi-
sphere, but is operating as if she
had established a protectorate in
in the Far East. Russia sees
American forces and supplies
especially American planes and
money-used in China to keep q
regime in power, much as Amer
leans charge Russia sustains pup
pets in eastern Europe. And In
Japan. which is on her very door,
step, Rusoia sees the United
States frankly dominating f
not monopolizinR occupation
and increasing the dangers of 9
soft peace. She sees America
taking over island bases right
across the Pacific.
We suspect that the Soviet re-
quest for a global check-up might
be withdrawn if British and
American insistence n check
ups in the West we're dropped
and a more friendly attitude
adopted on Russian desires for
warm-water ports. This is not to
say that Britain and America can

LUG WRENCHES and war

An AP news story out OF War
saw, which probably reveals half
the facts as to be appropriate tor
exclusive American consumption.
tells about an incident in which
several Russian brass hats i"
clashed with several American
"brass hats over a lug wrench.
1t. Col. Edward j. York. air
attache of the American En-
bassy, one of the party to the in
cident, gives his version as fol-
lows:
Our automobile was stopped
at the gates of Warsaw by a
Russian lieutenant, who graspsd
my Polish chauffer. l identified
myself and explained that l was
returning from an official mission.
"A Russian general and anoth-
er lieutenant then stepped for
ward aud said: 1t makes no diff
ference who you are-American.
British, French. Belgian or Pol
ish. We take what we want.
Now are you going to give US
that wrench or do we have to
take it from you?"
York said he deemed it unwise
to object any more and thus sur
rendered the wrench. The incl
dent was reported to U. S, Am
bassador Lane.
Probably the truth is that the
American car was halted in a
friendly way, with the Ameri-
cans none-the-less considering it
an indignity that tarnished their
brass hats.
Whatever the circumstances of
the incident. this conclusion may
be drawn:
The sooner we get out of Eur
ope or at least replace our occu-
patton forces or emissaries with
others who will bespeak our good
will, the better. Vain, irritable
military egos are poor messen.

the destruction of life on the fronts abroad.
 He's a man associated with a branch of the service which has exalted itself savior of life amid the business of killing. He is Brig. Gen Nal coln C. Grow chief surgeon in the European theatre, who invented the flax suit worn by American ayators on most of their flights over heavily defended enemy territory.
 It used to be that the in the bombers the Reich had to endure whatever came their way. If an antiarcraft shell burst by the hot jagged shrapnel ripped through the plane terribly wounding any flesh or bone it encountered And since anti aircraft fire is likely to be of deadly accuracy important objectives flax casualties considerable
 Brgadier General Grow thought something should be done about and he cast back to the experience of the knights of old Armor such they wore, of course was out of the question. Weight in plane is at a premium An entire bomber clad in knights armor would be prohibitvey ponderous, even if the of the members would have permitted the use of such cumbersome garb.
 He solved the problem with relatively lightweight suits fitted with exceedingly tough manganese steel inserts the protection of vital areas And they've worked as efficacously buletproof vests, with inestmabe saving of life and limb.
 Brigadier General Grow has made another contribution devsng curtains of lightweight resilient manganese steel to replace the heavy armor plate used in the vulnerable parts of bombers such the Flying Fortresses Iberators, Marauders and Havocs. These curtains will stop exploding 20-millimeter shell at the distance of feet The saving in weight over armor plate makes possible larger bomb load and allows greater margin of safety for the men in the plane.

corning the patch, Reed asked Barkley "Is there any connection between the condition of your left optic and the Democratic caucus held this morning?"
 Barkley replied that he'd have been glad to invite Republicans to the Democratic caucus if they had invited Democrats to their caucus earlier in the week. But none of the Republicans came out of their caucus in the condition in which the distingui- shed Senator from Kentucky ap- pears today" replied Reed.
 And I hope no member of the minority will ever appear in such a condition" agreed the Senator from Kentucky T probably look more like Dead Eye Dick than a United States Senator"

EQUAL RIGHTS" AGAIN

Mrs. Roy Peratrovich, Grand President of the Alaska Native Sisterhood, answered the argument that you can't legislate away discrimination by pointing out in the Senate the other day that laws are passed making 1t a crime to murder, to commit arson and lafcenys yet these crimes not eliminated
 We do not believe this argument to be valid in support of the bill in question. Murder, arson or larceny are legal But no matter how many laws are passed there will always be legal" and illegal race discrimination. M
 Murder may be committed in many ways, all punishable by law.
 But neither equal rights bill would make punish able by law than few minor acts of discrimina tion. refusal on the part of white to associate pleasantly in any way with Indian, to accept the Indian as an equal cannot be made punishable by law.
 Discrimination is seen in thousands of different ways To attempt by law to eliminate a few minor methods believe will only to bring the pot which has been cooling off for many years-back toward the boiling point
 As much would be accomplished, if a. legislative expression against discrimination is desired and that is all these bills really if the Legislature to pass joint resolution on the matter.

 Until evening, this is an uncer- tain day in plan etary direction. Benefic aspects are active in the evening.
 HEART AND HOME-Increase in the number of divorces this year is forecast Nasty marriages of many young men and women will bring disillusions that handicap them in achieving security or suc- | cess. The seers long have warned that Americans must return to old ideals of family life.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS-New in dustries of many sorts are again prognosticated. The small business man is to have good opportunities for success. Technical knowledge gained in the various branches of the service will prove profitable to hundreds of young men and wo- men.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Differences of opinion regarding our foreign policy will be expressed in Con- gress as diplomatic relations with Russia and Britain become more complex Close connections among members of the United Nations will continue to be firm, it is in dicated
 INTERNATIONAL A AFFAIR S- Solution of the India problem is not probable this year, according to the stars, although there will be periods of progress. The last part of l945 has been designated as a time for better understanding be- tween the religious minorities.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of re- markable experiences. Success will reward many well-directed efforts.

It Makes Sense
Cincinnati Enouirerl


 We are inclined to agree with the view of Edwin C. Barringer President of the Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel that should not leave materials for another war--n the form of scrap ron-lying around in Europe and Asia
 considerable part of this scrap will, of course, be rightfully ours since in role as the arsenal of democracy we have built much if not most of the implements of which will litter the battefields the world after the conflict ends Previous to the war, of course, had sold most of our stock of scrap iront later coming back in the form of Jap- anese shells and battleships.
 An abundance of scrap iron in any of the sections of the world where easily begotten anyhow would be temptation to rearmament. And beyond that we will need considerable volume of scrap in the United States for the postwar expansion. We cannot go exhausting our reserve of high-grade iron At the present rate of depletion it would last scarcely than a decade. There must be greater reliance upon resmelted iron and of course charge of scrap iron is used in the regular process of steel making from ore.
 By all means, let's bring back suitable amount of the scrap when the ends And let's make our enemies load it for us There would be fitting justice somehow about making the Japs reload scrap iron for shipment back to the United States

 'It seems to me that it serves the committee right for trying to short cut this important legislation with out having full public hearings, Bridges said. Here is bill affect ing all the men of this nation from Is to 45 The least we could oo would be to permit the heads of business firms and the heads of labor unions and other important organizations to express their views before the committee"
 Finally, the committee adjourned it's secret session for the week end, with no agreement except that re- garding the vacillation Of the Army. This was unanimous. This criticism was also shared by vari- ous members of the House Military Affairs Committee, who experienced the same shilly -shallying when the bill was before the House. Here IS the background to the Armys re- markable series of somersaults:
 On January 6, after the May Bill was introduced in Congress, it was referred to all interested agen- cies of the Government, including the Army, Navy, War Manpower Commission, Selective Service and War Production Board. Their rep resentatiyes held meeting under Justice Byrnes, at which 1t was agreed that the new work-or-flght bill should not be administered by Selective Service, since it's operation under the many different draft boards throughout the country would lead to confusion.
 Accordingly, Col. Francis V. Kees- ling, Jr., representing Selective Service, was instructed to present the Amendments of all the agen- cies to the House Military Affairs Committee. However, committee members say that Keesling talked for four hours in a closed session of the committee but never took CA his pocket. Later, however, they were presented by Congressman John Sparkman of Alabama, and adopted After adoption, however, the committee, under secret pres sure from the Army, mysteriously reversed itself, knocking out the Byrnes amendment and putting the administration of the work -or-fight bill back under Selective Service and the local draft boards rather than under the War ManpoWer commission.
 NOTE-Officially, Gen. Hershey $ Selective Service and the draft boards are part of Paul McNutt's War Manpower Commission. Act ually, the two men do not get along together.
