Wnat HuSSlaS gong TO DO next?
Let's hope not, but you can't be
sure. If reports Of international
skulduggery-or international mo-
rality, to use Joseph E. Davies
term-on the part of Russian Dip
lomats In Canada prove to be true,
it is certainly time for us to be
busting off the old false whiskers
and getting into the game. 1t is
not nice game; not nearly as
romantic as the mystery novels
make it out to be, but it seems to
be the only alternative to an open
and above-board policy with rela-
ton to Russia, a policy which some,
of our statesmen seem determined
we shall not adopt.
The Canadian incident, yet to be
explained if explanation is neces-'
sary, is truly forewarning of what
we must expect unless political SCI
ence keeps hustling in its attempt
to catch up with physical science.
On the Brighter Side.
To look at the brighter side, real
progress is being made politically.
Much was accomplished at the
United Nations meeting in London.
Nothing could have been more open
and above board than the manner
in which Bevin and Vishinsky trad
ed accusations and cuss words. The
kind of quarreling in which they
engaged is calculated to create
true understanding.
rf -
Russia man capable of promoting
peace, if we can trust the judgment
Of Gen. Eisenhower. Patience and
good humor" are needed, says the
Chief of Staff, and he indorses
heartily the Presidents choice of
1t. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith for
the post as Ambassador. Gen. Smith
demonstrated his patience and good
humor first as Gen. Marshall's
right-hand man when the latter
was organizing Allied military CO.
operation and, second, as Gen. Eisen-
hower's right-hand man in main
tanning Allied cooperation in the
field.
For our part also, we are working
out policies in connection with
atomic energy that can be blended
into the international control which
most people believe essential to per-
manent peace.
Winning Right Of Way.
The Mcmahon bill, whose essential
feature Is civilian rather than mill
tary control, seems to be winning
the right Of way in Congress. OF the
bill, the Federation of Atomic Sci
entists has this to say, through Dr..
Harrison Davies Of the Oak Ridge
laboratories:
"For several months We have
studied the various proposals for
domestic legislation on atomic
energy. As scientists We desire leg
issation which will foster research
md development tn the field Of
=, atomic energy and VIII preserve the
q freedom necessary for the further
. advance Of science. A. citizens we
: fear unwise laws On atomic energy
9or the same reason other citizens
fear them: We, too, value our lives.
The men who made the bomb
are for the bill. I wish to- report
that s. TIT (the Mcmahon bilD has
the strong support not only Of more
than $500 Manhattan Project SCI
entists and engineers, but of thou
sands Of other scientists.
There can be no real national
security In world in which many
nations possess atomic weapons
There can be no solution Of the prob
lem Of security short of effective

| Truman Should 0uii,
|FulbrigIlf Insists.
Despite Coal success
On the As.esieted prsss !

Senator Fulbrieht, Democrat, Of
Arkansas credited President Tru-
imam today with d very good job
| IN handling the coal strike crisis
but stuck to his recommendation
that the Chief Executive resign In
favor Of Republican.
Despite d barrage OF criticism
from both fellow Democrats and Re-
publicans, the 4l-year-old lawmAk-
er said he still Is convinced that Mr..
Truman should step down for the
good OF the country and for the
good OF his party"
Senator Fulbrieht, former Oxford
scholar and university president,
first advanced that proposal the
day after the November election
In which the Republicans swept to
control Of Congress.
Truman Won't Quit.
Mr.. Truman himself brushed aside
any comment, but the White House
made 1t clear the President had no
intention OF quitting.
MY suggestion Is not = refiec-
tion on any ones integrity, pa
triotism. or anything else" the Sen
ator told reporter today. 1T
would merely correct an obvious
defect In our present system which
has resulted when the President
is member Of one party and the
majority Of Congress another"
As for Mr.. Truman's role In the
coal crisis. Senator Fulbright de-
clared:
II think President Truman did a
very good Job in convincing John
L. Lewis that he meant business
and was not going to give In. I
certainly think that was we'll han
died"
However, the Arkansas Senator
continued, unless the President re-
tires in favor OF . Republican, these
things are in prospect:
/. There will be no cooperation
between the Republican Congress
and the Democratic administration
and the next two years will be spent
in "squabbling, Investigations and
attempts to show the Democratic
Party is no good"
Expects COP to Win.
2. The Republicans probably win
win the 1048 election, and Demo-
cratic strength In Congress may de-
cline to the same level the Repub-
licans sank to at the peak Of the
New Deal.
5. Mr.. Truman may leave ONCE
In 1948 under much the same cir
cumstances as did President Hoover
when he stepped out In 1882 after
trying in vain to cooperate with
Democratic congressional majorities
for two years.
Senator Fulbrisht said his pro-
posal had been misunderstood
more by the Democrats than the
Republicans" adding that this sur
prised him because President Tru-
man has lost the control Of his own
party"
Despite the opposition he has en-
countered. Senator rllbright said
he will press legislation in the next
Congress to eliminate the situation
that permits one party to hold the
presidency while another controls
Congress.
1T may not get very far but at
least 1t viii get people thinking
about this problem which really is q
serious one,D the Senator asserted.

COlored Theater
Getting Backing

y
Louis Carbonnel, who was
campaign manager for George
Smathers in the past congress
sional races, was this week APP
pointed to the CPA board as a
voting member by Washington
authorities. Key West now has
two voting members, including
the new appointment, Mr..
Fred j. Dion, local realtor, haV-
ing served since the boards in
ception.
Carbonnel stated that his first
move, and he knows that it will
be successful, is the acquiring
of theatre" for the colored res
idents of Key West. This is a
must" said Carbonnel, for
these people, numbering over s.
600. are without theatre of their
own
A pleading letter is being sent
today to Representative George
Smathers, who in turn will get
Senator Claude Peppers en-
dorsement to push through the
project. The letter that is being
sent to Washington states two
reasons for the overruling of the
Washington CPA decision. First,
the letter says that Mr.. Rob-
bins, board chairman of the
southeastern district, has APP
proved the request, mainly be-
cause of the acute unemploy-
ment problem now existing in
the building trades line in Key
West. Second, that the city's
mayor, VIM. w. Demeritt, strong
ly urges this construction in a
letter dated Aug. rs, in which
the mayor points out that the
sponsors have invested to date
$4,000 and cannot continue I'M
It'll approval is given. Further,
the mayor added that the mill
stary had taken playground and
park away from the local col
ored residents during the war
emergency, and in conclusion
that mo shortage of housing ex-
lists in this area. +"
The original appeal to the local
CPA board for $4,000 construc-
tion labor and building ma
terials) was recommended by
the district CPA but turned
down by Washington in blanket
move that forbids theatre con-
struction because of its impact on
veteran housing, the purpose for
which the CPA board was Gre
ated to retard.
The site of the proposed the
atre is at 805 Emma street and
win be under the ownership OF
