 U S. Atomic Delegate Bernie Baruch has con- fided to friends that he is much opposed to having the chairmanship of the atomic commlsslon rotate each month. This means that Australian Foreign Minister Herbert Evatt, a United Nations dynamo, now steps down chairman
 The Australian is about the only member of the atomic commission who has Soviet Envoy Gromyko afraid of him. The other day Gromyko opposed decision by majority rule proposing tWo-thros vote instead. Evatt on the Russian in a flash
 "1t,s not necessarily true Mir Gromyko, that the majority is always wrong" rebuked the Aus tralian
 On another occasion, Gronlyko was protesting against the Baruch plan. Instead he proposed inn mediate destruction of all existing atomic bombs ana the release of the atomic bomb secret by the United States.
 When Bernie Baruch, listening through his ear phone heard this he became almost apoplectic But before Baruch could speak, Evatt took on the Rus sian again.
 "You know, MT. Gromyko,'' said Evatt, not all the parliaments in the world would approve all the proposals that you make here If they did, 1t would be a different world
 "But,' protested Gromyko, world public opin- ion demands it. It demands the destruction of this horrible weapon by mankind
 World public opinion, did you say? asked Evatt "O you know that there are certain sections of public opinion in this world which are not in position to demand anything, and am sure you know what sections I mean
 eiromyko smiled weakly, said nothing. But EvaJt wasn't through
 I'm afraid what you want, MT. Gronyko, IS TOT the United States to throw away it's bomb and give everybody else the secret could all start evenly I think the United States has been extremely gen. erous. What you want to do is to change handicap scratch rather than race to save the people of the world''
 Silent Gromyko sat, scowled.
 Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes returned from Paris to find his office literally bombarded with pro- tests from Latin American diplomats against the concessions Byrnes made to Russia at the foreign ministers conference in Paris.

WASHINGTON, July 17-Heres the inside story of the sudden appointment of John Leighton Stuart as the American Ambassador to China.
 Originally, President Truman planned to appoint It. Gen. Al Wedemeyer Ambassador to China. As matter of fact, Wedemeyer's nomination had al- ready been typed and was on the Presidents desk However last week General Marshall sent Truman urgent cable advising that he had finally found one man who could act as Ambassador and who was on good terms with both the Communists and the Chiang Kai-shek group Marshall also pointed out that Stuart had lived in China for 50 years and spoke fluent Chinese.
 So, "A hours later, President Truman nominated J. Leighton Stuart to be American Ambassador to China.
 It the direct hand of the President of the United States which brought the kiss of death to Roger c. Slaughter of Kansas City Democratic Congressman from the district next to Truman's. Slaughter has opposed almost every piece of Truman legislation before Congress
 Despite denials from Democratic headquarters, here's what actually happened. President Truman last month wrote to Bryce B. Smith, former mayor of Kansas City, stating that something had to be done regarding the fifth congressional and that the election of Slaughter absolutely impossible. The Chief Executive added that he would rather see Republican elected than have Slaughter returned to Congress. He asked. Smith to confer with James M Pendergast, head of the countys goat faction.
 Pendergast was hard to find but after three days Smith finally caught up with him
 Why should I do anything like that!" Fender gast snorted. Truman has done nothing for me"
 Smith reported this back to the White House, and a few days later received second letter from Truman who said that probably what Pendergast meant that the President hadn't done anything for him lately. Truman then sent note direct to Pendergast and asked him point-blank whether he for Slaughter the President of the United States.
 The note brought results. Pendergast hopped plane and in Washington next day. After he re- turned Democratic leaders learned that the goat faction of the Democratic party would back Enos Axtel former assistant county prosecutor for Con- greSS.
 The rabbit Democrats, headed by Frank Shan non several months ago indicated they would sup port Jerome Walsh, former OPA attorney who has strong labor support Most rabbit leaders, however none too strong for labor, favor backing Axtell. .NOTE-The Democrats in Kansas City long have been divided into rival groupS-the goats and the rabbits.

virtually idle for nearly four years owing to wartime conditions. In addition, thousands of homes are being renovated and reconditioned through new paint and repairs as owners catch up on maintenance that had to go by the board in the war years.
 All this augurs well for quick solution of the housing problem, which is probably the most pressing postwar consideration facing the government and the public. Of course. construction and renovating are costly due to the high prices of materials and inflationary wages. Yet people have more money to spend than ever before, a fact that is enabling them to get things done, the cost to the contrary notWith- standing.

ROCHESTER AND CITY UNIONS
Hartford Times

The City Council of Rochester, New York has once more thrown down the gauntlet Of battle to the municipal unions by repeating the provisions in the charter which rec ognized unions as agencies for col lective bargaining between the poli- cy-making officials and the muni- cipal employees.
 A few weeks ago the city manager thought he had the right to refuse to recognize the union and dismissed nearly 500 members of the public works department which presented demands as an organized unit A organized labor shutdown followed which paralyzed industries, transpor- tation and newspapers for a few days
 Court proceedings resulted in the restoration of the fired employees and settlement of wages. Now the Republican Council has repealed that part of the charter and adopt ed this:
 The city manager shall meet at convenient times with any city em- ployes or a committee of city em- ployes selected by organized or un- organized employees, who may be ac- companied by legal counsel, when ever they feel aggrived by a deci- sion of their respective department heads relating to employment.
 This removes the bargaining agency" factor and releases the grip of organized labor on Rochester municipal establishment There is rumor of another strike. That could prove little more than that organ ized labor leaders are quite mistaken in their conception of the use of the strike weapon in settling wage matters in municipal government. Ii is an intolerable abuse of power tc paralyze the public service by re- sort to strikes.

The recent Republican victory In
the national elections was hailed to-
day as a verdict In favor of COM

Jackson, president Of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce.
In statement, accompanying a
report on the American competitive
enterprise system, Mr.. Jackson said
with public support and under
standing, the enterprise system can
stand up against all competitors and
continue to deliver a rising standard
Of living for everybody"
The verdict of the people at the
polls" shows that the enterprise
system can count on the needed
popular support, his statement de-
clared.
Trio Would Scrap System.
This report by the Economic Re-
search Department of the National
Chamber" Mr.. Jackson said, points
out that few Americans are willing
to scrap the enterprise system for
some unknown, nebulous over-all
planning or. socialist system
Certainly that statement is
borne out by the results of the ma
tional congressional elections. Never
was a more emphatic verdict regis
tered at the polls in favor of COM
petitive enterprise"
The productive possibilities of the
country are enormous, he said. and
all industry needs is opportunity to
produce at full capacity without in
terruption to make shortages "a

tlViSm may be viewed as a reaction

tive society things generally were

Business profits after taxes, &C.
cording to the report, generally do
not average more than As to 5
cents per dollar of sales. Dividends,
1t stated, are only about half of this
profit with the other half going into
reserves and new investment.
Met profits of all corporations
during the lush war years were only
about z per cent on the net worth
OF these concerns" the report said.
1.-THE great bulk Of the receipts of
business, after the payment of
taxes, goes directly or indirectly to
wage and small-salary earners."
The analysis said there is a dan
ger-with many millions of workers
organized in labor uniens-that
wages will rise more rapidly than
production, forcing prices upward.
This, it stated, would impair the
purchasing power of those with fixed
incomes and hurt labor itself.
Labor as whole, the analysis
concluded, has far more to gain by
raising total production, which they
can then share under competitive
system, than by collectively pressing
wage demands beyond the rise OF
efficiency"
AS the report sees it, the primary
function of Government is to pre-
serve opportunity for individual en-
terprise, the enforcement of COM

sound-money system and protection

cursion."

Mr.. Vishinsky said that Rus
