 In a recent economy move which this newspaper and many others applauded, President Truman an nounced that he would postpone large number of public works projects until advantageous year.
 His primary concern to reduce overall government expenditures in the hope of mitigating imitation. His secondary purpose presumably to delay all post ponable public works to a period when it would be helpful to go into the labor market and create many additional jobs.
 This policy is under fire now. group of Con- gressmen particularly interested in river and harbor works is setting the stage for formal protest against the Presidents economy plan.
 The position of the CongreSSmen is understand able They worked hard to get flood control projects, navigation improvements, and harbor developments for their respective districts They going to be under fire from constituents if they fail produce those construction projects Furthermore, most of the projects are not only desirable but esential.
 River and harbor works however, represent special interests of certain localities. As class they cannot be regarded urgent, in the that the battle against inflation is urgent Here and there, 1t may be that a really urgent matter will arise-a situation in which failure to proceed with river work would endanger routine transportation, Such emergency ought to have high priority But most of the projects by Congress are not in that category
 The national interest in sabilizing economy is far more important than the special interests of districts with river harbor problems The Presi- dent we believe was representing the paramount ional interest his decision delay the bulk of public works projects.

q compromise wage-booSt consider ably lower than what they thought they could get if they walked out. Murray argued that it was against the general interest of labor to tie up the entire country with a strike at that time. Several CIO leaders, especially longshoreman boss Harry Bridges of the West Coast, vigorous ly opposed Murray. but finally yielded. A compromise increase of $l750 was accepted.
 Later when the AFL seamen tied up the nations shipping and wrecked the Wage Stabilization Board to get their $22.5O, the CIO, which was patriotic enough not to go out on strike last June, got the little end of the deal.
 At first, Frank J. Taylor, SpokeS- man for the ship operators, even dodged meeting with CIO leaders For about "A hours he played hide and-seek, until Joe Curran of the National Maritime Union finally notified Taylor'S wife at am. that unless he met with him before noon that day and agreed on some basis of settlement, the CIO would strike.

The mild appearance of his later years beed when, past 50 he went to the rescue of two African natives who being maued by wounded leopard and choked the beast to death with his bare hands when it turned on him. His brushes with death numerous he found

Vatican Is 10 Probe
 Arrest, Archbishop
 By Tiio's Regim g

An American representative of Pope Plus, Bishop Joseph Hurley, is expected to inquire into the ar rest in Yugoslavia of Archbishop Stepinac Archbishop Stepinac has heen accused by Tito's govern ment of collaborating with the Us- tachi, a wartime terrorist group in Yugoslavia.
 Bishop Hurley who is the United States Regent of the Apostolic Nunciature in Belgrade, left Rome yesterday for Belgrade. In the meantime, Tito has granted a sev- en day postponement of the trial of Archbishop Stepinac, who is the head of the Roman Catholic Church in Yugoslavia.
 In Rome, a Vatican prelate said that the arrest ot the Archbishop has saddened but did not surprise the Vatican in view of the perse- cution which the church has charg- ed against Tito's government. This prelate, who is close to the Vatican State Department, declared that the arrest of the Archhiship followed the reading of a letter in all Cath olic pulpits in Yugoslavia. The letter to the pastors was written by the Archbishop. It insisted upon the rights or Christian education for youth, and other religious free doms. Church leaders in Rome estimate that since the end of the war 400 Roman Catholic priests have been arrested in Yugoslavia.

Death Wednesday at San Francisco closed re- markabe career alone of writing but of living too, for Stewart Edward White His loss is felt by many Alaskans whose friend he became as he made the waterways of the Inside Passage favorte haunt of his later years He to know and love well this country as he explored it's hidden ways on several yacht trips
 Through the more than two score books he wrote, Stewart Edward White carried to millions the thrills of his own adventurous life pioneer by inheritance and instinct he possessed brilliant talent for inter- preting the spirit of pioneering generations
 White knew from personal experience the frigid shores of Hudson Bay and the torrid unges of East Africa. He climbed Californias high Serras; he dug gold in Dakota's Black Hills; he fished unnamed streams in British Columbia and haska; he helped fight the First World War in France he measured the western plains horseback before the coming of the car; he not only bagged big game with rifle he killed lions with bow and arrows.
 Because White himself experienced so many of the incidents portrayed his books they convey to the reader commanding of their authenticity. This was demonstrated amusingly in California by the numerous persons who have claimed relationship to

COOLIDGE's "SPOOKSMAN"

After that Harding required press conference questions to be submitted in writing. Coolidge con- tinu5d this system with the proviso that questions be handed in one hour in advance. Coolidge also con- cocted the White House SpokeS- man" frequently called "spooks- mar" because actually no spokes- man existed. The spokesman was Coolidge himself, though the read- ing public got the idea that a press secretary was speaking for the President
 Hoover required questions to be handed in 24 hours in advance, bVt even then he didn't answer more thar half of them.
 In contrast, Roosevelt's free-and easy system of answering almost any and all questions orally was revolutionary. Even he, however, dodged many foreign affairs queS- tions or referred them to the State Department.
 Truman has tried to keep up this fast pace It is no reflection upon any President, however, that press relations are difficult and that he sometimes makes mistakes.
 Entirely aside from press rela- tions, however, Truman for a long time has successfully resisted Cab inet urging to surround himself with an alert brain trust Some of the men close to Truman couldn't have qualified as doorknob polish CTS under Roosevelt Whether you agreed with FDR or not, he had some of the brightest, hardest working advisers ever seen ir Washington.
 No President can do everything and Truman is no exception The fact that he doesn't surround him. self with the best brains in the nation merely means that the na- tion suffers.

SHIP OPERATORS SABOTAGE

Tragedy of the CIO maritime dis pute is that the ship operators cut the ground out from one group of labor leaders who, many times, have tried to apply soothing syrup to more fiery colleagues.
 Tn doing so, the ship operators have made it more difficult for other employer-management groups when the next strike is threatened.
 What happened was that the CIO maritime unions were ready to strike last June, but CIO chief Phil Murray persuaded them to accept
