Does Not Believe However in Formation of Third
 Major Party

NEW YORK, Dec. 28 = Elliott Roosevelt has indicated that he is opposed to the establishment of a third major political party. Just back from a six-week trip to Rus sia and Poland, Elliott declared that his future political moves will depend upon the policies of the major parties, who the candidates are and what they do between now and 1948. Roosevelt added
 T do believe, however, in work ing within the framework of the two major parties"
 Elliott said he is still of the opinion that the Truman admins tration is departing from some of his fathers domestic and foreign policies. Said the son of the late President:
 T intend to take an active part in the coming elections. I still adhere to my fathers ideas and ideals"

(2) nevertheless there Is an ade-
quate supply Of livestock on the
ranges, IN some places even more

sorts OF reports suggest that the big
reason this livestock IS not moving
to market is that its raisers are OPP
posed to price control; and (4) the
obvious way to end the shortage,
therefore, Is by prompt decontrol.
TO be sure, this kind of reasoning

Sufety in the Air

The shocking air crash near
Stephenville, Newfoundland, coming
so soon after the Gander tragedy,
should serve to intensity efforts of
aviation experts to reduce the
hazards which still beset those who
travel by air. Statistics invariably
are quoted after such disasters to
show that. considering the number
of miles flown, the accident rate
on commercial airlines is decreas-
ing. But while the number OF
crashes undoubtedly is small, COM
pared with the number Of flights
made, the unfortunate fact remains
that as planes grow larger and the
number of passengers per plane
increases, the potential number Of
casualties per crash Is likely to go
higher and higher.
There have been three 27-victim
plane accidents this year on this
side of the Atlantic, and now comes
the highest toll in the history Of
commercial aviation.
Despite many disheartening set
backs, aviation is making tremen-
dous progress in the field of safety.
Planes are steadily being improved
and so are airways and airports.
Air safety has become world prob
lem with the development and ex-
pansion of overseas airlines. and
the problem is to be attacked on an
international level with establish
ment of the international Civil
Aviation Organization, of which the
United States will be member.
Because of it's very nature, flying
will continue to have its hazards,
but constant research inevitably
will serve to make the skyways safer
for the aerial cross-country and
overseas travellers of the future.

Meot and Reason

Like President Truman, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Anderson sees
no reason for early price decontrol
in the meat field. On the contrary,
he feels that If controls were lifted
now, our summer experience would
be repeated all over again: There
would be free market, an excessive
rush of cattle to the stockyards. a
temporary feast" and then a
famine" probably worse than the
one we are having now.
Mr.. Anderson also agrees with the
Presidents view that ito the extent
that livestock is going into feed lots
and being fed to higher grades and
better weights, the result will be a
greater quantity and better quality
of meat in the near future" than
would be the case in the event of
premature decontrol. Further, along
with the President, he suggests that
the supply of grass-fed cattle is
quite adequate and that unless it is
deliberately held back it should be-
gin moving to market soon. easing
the situation for butchers and
housewives alike.
Looked at effectively, the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Anderson state the
case persuasively enough to give
strong support to the conclusion
that decontrol now would have, the
long-run effect of making matters
not better but worse. Yet, at a time
when a steak or a pork chop is as
hard to find as the fountain Of lost
youth and when most people are
yearning for such things with hun
ger that no statistic can satisfy, OBJ
jectivity fares poorly. and emotion,
alas, tends to dominate reason.

Hello on Wheels

Latest proof of the fact that we
are living in a fast-moving scientific
age is to be had in the Inauguration
of automobile telephone service by
the Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele-
phone Company. Possibilities which
would have been regarded as fan
tastic by our grandfathers are
opened up by the new "hello-on-
the-go" development.
This is something more than two
way radio phone service, such as is
widely used by police departments,
the Shore Patrol and the Military
Police. It is real telephone service
with bell alarm. busy signals, wrong
numbers and all. A reporter for The
Star demonstrated its usefulness in
news gathering by debating a story
on the gadget direct from news
car travelling toward Chevy Chase.
He Just lifted the nifty handset
from its hook on the dashboard,
gave the city desk number to the
operator and then leaned back to
wait for the city desk to answer
sonly this time there was no delay,
it seems. The thing works in re-
verse, too. When occasion requires,
the city editor can call the news car
and divert it from a lumber fire to
a meat riot or a hatchet murder.
AS with any newfangled device,
one must learn how to use the
mobile phone properly, lest there be
untoward results. If the phone rings
while you are alone in the car and
trying to watch your speedometer,
the changing lights, oncoming traf-
fic, dashing pedestrians and the
failing arms of policeman on the
corner-in Union Station Plaza, for
instance-the phone company ad-
vises that you pull over to the curb
at the first opportunity before an
swering call Otherwise an ambu-
lance might have to answer call.
Experience will teach the motorist
how to control himself and his car
under other trying circumstances,
as when, en- route home, his wife
phones for him to turn around and
pick up her mother at the station.
All these are but minor considera-
tions, compared to the tremendous
advantages to be derived from the
system. And the time no doubt will
come when there will be plenty of
new cars in which to install the
new equipment.

De GuuIIe's Def

Charles de Gaulle has at last
spoken, and spoken in terms which
are bound to have momentous ef-
fects upon the already complex
French political situation. His ad-
dress at Epinal last Sunday is an
uncompromising denunciation OF
the draft constitution just passed
by the Constituent Assembly for
submission to the French people as
q referendum on October Is.
M. de Gaulle considers the present
draft constitution almost as faulty
as the one drafted early last spring,
which was rejected by popular ref
erendum because 1t placed virtually
complete power in a single legisla-
tive chamber, the executive being a
mere figurehead. That first draft
was the work of the Communists.
then the leading political party. At
, that time majority OF the French
people obviously shared De Gaulle's
fear that such a constitution would
pave the way to a totalitarian gov
ernment through legislative action.
And the new elections to the second
Constituent Assembly reflected this
view by increasing the strength of
the new party known as the Popu-,
lar Republican Movement ("MRP")
which can best be described as
Christian Socialist in character.
However, the Communist Party
broke even while the Socialist Party
suffered only a slight loss. the up
shot being a virtually equal triangle
of political power in the new As
sembly. The result OF that was
a coalition provisional government,
coupled with a new draft constitu-
ton which slightly diminished the
power of the Assembly but still left
it predominant in the political pic
ture. Meanwhile the international
situation has darkened, owing to
the sharpening antagonism between
Soviet Russia and the English
speaking powers. To De Gaulle, this
intensifies the need for a strong
executive who shall be able not only
to prevent domestic dictatorship
through legislative action but also
to guide France in an international
crisis threatening another world
war.
In this he probably reflects the
fears and convictions of conserva-
. tive and moderate French circles.
But his present stand is not only
bitterly opposed by the Communists
and left-wing Socialists; it is like
wise too extreme for much of the
MRP. Should this cause a split in
the conservative : moderate ranks,
even if the present draft constitu-
ton should be defeated in the COM
ing referendum, the subsequent
elections might result in new Con-
stituent Assembly dominated by
Communists and Socialists, who, be-
tween them, could frame new

influence OF the Communists and their
subversiye agents In this country. Is
believed by competent observers TO have
worried the Russian government.
Mr.. Molotov Is said to have been re-
called to Moscow for consultation in
order to report first-hand about the
general situation In Paris. The Kremlin
knows, OF course, that the satellite coun-
tries which have their representatives
at the Paris Conference will continue to
dance to Moscow's tune. But some other
countries, who have been hesitant and
political wind, are suspected OF leaning
toward American leadership.
Until this week the consensus Of most
diplomatic observers in Paris was that
Mr.. Molotov would conduct himself In
such way at the final meeting of the
Big Four that the Peace Conference
would remain inconclusiye and be post
poned until after the United Nations
meeting in New York. Such a post
ponement is neither to the liking Of
Mr.. Byrnes nor of the British and French
Foreign Ministers.
But In view of the fact that the
Foreign Ministers Council will follow
the rule OF unanimity in voting on all
decisions reported by the Peace Con-
ference, it will be possible for the Rus
sian delegate to force indefinite delay
in the signature of any or all the peace
treaties.
The new attitude of the United States
will now be thoroughly examined in the
Kremlin, where the policy guiding the
future actions Of Mr.. Molotov in Paris
and in New York will be drafted.
From all available information
mostly speculative, since nobody knows
what is happening at the meetings Of
the PolitEureau-it appears that the
Russian government Is now confronted
with a serious problem. 1t wilE have to
make up its mind whether there is
enough strength and national unity in
the United States to make any Russian
adventure against Greece, Turkey, Iran
or Trieste very risky operation, or
whether in view of the military unpre-
paredness of this country and the other
western nations it would be possible to
challenge Americas new strong stand.
Nothing will be known about the
Kremlin's final decisions until MI. Molo-
tov returns to Paris, where his attitude
on various matters before the Big Four
viii show clearly how the wind is blow
ing in Moscow.
