Summer Kitchen

When the first warmth of real
spring was mellow on the land, the
farm wife always decided it was
time to move to the summer kitchen.
The first room of the ell was the
beginning of a series that linked
the main house to the barn. In the
northeast there was good reason to
join house and barn together, for
many were the stormy, lashing days
between November and April.
Good housewives were eager to
get back to the summer kitchen
come spring. Then the room that
during the winter months served as
the heart of home could become Just
the living room and the dining room
combined. A farm wife knows that
when April begins the men folks are
busy with spring work. Moving day
was usually on Saturday, so lad
and his sisters could help. After the
chores were out of the way, break
fast over and dishes washed, the
whole family pitched in.
Father and the boy washed the
ceiling and the plastered walls. All
the winters accumulation of odds
and ends was moved into the wood
shed, toolroom or the section of the
ell where the two-seated democrat
was kept. Then the windows were
washed, the cupboards scrubbed out,
the back pantry cleaned and the
floor, with its wide boards, mopped
several times. Sisters cleaned and
polished the smaller range that
served from April to November.
Then came the moving of the tall
wooden cupboard that mother al
ways wanted near the table where
she did the mixing-a cupboard that
father built as special gift when
he brought his bride to the old home
farm. Somehow moving day was
always good fun-one of the tasks
that brought the whole family to-
gether. And as a man looks back
nearly half century it seems that
mother always had some special
mincemeat-fllled cookies or pieces
of her famous three-layer chocolate
cake ready about eleven o'clock,
when the work of moving to the
summer kitchen was over for an
other year. ~

Valley Forge, the tolerance of Abra-
ham Lincoln at Gettysburg, the
vision of Woodrow Wilson at Ver-
sailles and the daring initiative of
Franklin Roosevelt, broadcasting his
fireside chats. These things have
been woven into the tapestry of our
democracy from the Declaration of
Independence to the Atlantic Charter
and beyond.
Courage, tolerance, vision and
initiative. How much all four of
them are needed today! Courage to
face squarely the chaotic aftermath
of war. Courage to solve problems
not by strikes and filibusters but by
the slower, surer way of fact-fnding
and dignified legislative debate.
Courage to live fearlessly in world
of atomic bombs and courage to
control them.
Tolerance today is needed by cap
ital and labor, by Christian and Jew,
by Negro and White. Long ago, King
Amaziah won a great victory over
the Edomites. But he made the
mistake Of bringing back to his coun-
try the gods Of the people he had
conquered. In time, they overthrew
him. Intolerance was one of the
greatest gods of our enemies. There
must be no place for it here.
Our horizons have been pushed
back by the development of trans
portation, so that, whether we like it
or not, we are living in one world.
Everybody is our neighbor. Unless
we have the vision to see this new
world, disaster will be inevitable.
Daring initiative is needed now to
get things going and to keep them
from getting tangled. Honest effort
in action may make mistakes, but
1t is not afraid to take new paths if
the old ones are impossible.
They called it Gods Country"
1t still is!

Dodginq the Droft

pend lnductions after May Is, is
said to have strong support among
the members of the House Military
Affairs Committee, who are consid-
ering the problem raised by the fact
that the Selective Service Act ex-
plres next month. If this is true, it
seems perfectly evident that sup
porters of the plan are simply trying
to dodge their duty to supply the
Army with the men needed to dis
charge the responsibilities which
Congress has placed upon the armed
services.
This is an election year, and if
nothing more were at stake than
the political fortunes of those men,
bers OF Congress who must stand
for reelection there would be con-
siderable merit in this draftless
draft plan which has been put for
ward by Representative Harness,
Republican, of Indiana. The act
would be kept on the statute books,
thereby avoiding the almost certain
repercusSionS of an outright aban-
donment of the draft. At the same
time-at least until after the votes
have been counted in November
the members of Congress who might
vote for it would avoid giving Of
tense to the young men, or to the
families of the young men, who
would otherwise be inducted for
military service. But there are at
least two serious flaws in this device.
One is that there are things at
stake of vastly greater Importance
than the winning or the losing of
few votes in November. The
other is that the Harness plan, if
adopted, would very probably prove
to be the straw that would break
the back of military establishment
which has already been recklessly
and dangerously weakened.
AS the President pointed out in
his Army Day address, the United
States, as a great power, has as
sumed great responsibilities abroad.
We have assumed them because we
had to assume them if the fruits of
our victory were not to be frittered
away through reverting again to a
"scuttle-and-run" policy based on
the delusion that we can have a
lasting peace without working for
it and sacrificing for it. But we can
not meet these responsibilities-the
tasks of occupation, enforcement of
peace terms, the handling of dis
placed persons, etc.-without an
adequate military organization.
The basic need is for an Army
suff1clently manned and assured of
an adequate supply OF trained re-
placements. There are those who
say that this can be done through
the volunteer system, but this is
no better than hope-an idle hope,
according to every responsible au-
thority. Mr.. Harness says that if
volunteering should fail and if the
Army should be faced with critical
situation next February IS, Con-
gress could then "do something
about it," But that is sheer wishful
thinking, for the best that Congress
could do in those circumstances
would be to dump on the Army the
men who would have been registered
but not drafted from May to Febru-
ary. They would be unframed and
unready to assume any RESPONSE
bility anywhere.
To do this would be to shirk a
national responsibility at a time
when the penalty for Sinking can
be the sacrifice of the long-range
goals for which this war was fought.
And this is too big a price to pay
for some real or fancied temporary
political benefit.

way to weaken them is to be everlast-
ingly casting doubt on the good inten-
tions ana patriotic objectives Of the men
who must hold the posts Of command.

war and reaffirmed under fire and in
the presence of death, devotion to
duty and freedom beyond questioning
It is worth some emphasis, moreover,
that there is nothing in this country
comparable in any measure to such q
militaristic aristocracy or caste as once
existed in Germany. Like the men in
the ranks of our rapidly contracting
citizens Army and Navy, American
commanders come from the farms, vii
lagos and cities of the Nation, out of
varied economic, political and religious
backgrounds, rich and poor, Democratic
and Republican, Protestant, Catholic
and Jew. Marshall. Eisenhower, Mac
Arthur, Nimitz, Halsey-men like these
are not of the stuff that would be at
tracted to the "potentiality" of military
Fascism,' and even if they were, our
deeply-rooted constitutional and other
controls would be stout wall against
them. One has only to remember how
Congress has dealt with them in the
past, even in days of crisis, to be re-
assured on this score.
Perhaps, in the last analysis, the
phobialike distrust lately shown toward
the military may be explainable in
psychological terms as the expression
of a desire to vent ones feelings against
anything or anybody that keeps alive
memories of the war. Be that as it may,
the distrust itself is scarcely warranted
on the strength of present facts and
past American history. Beyond that,
it does not seem arniss to add that until
there is genuine peace in the world,
this Nation will have to maintain an
effective Army and Navy, and that one

House Votes 1926
To Defeat '1OO-Mi||ion
Cancer Control Bill
BY the k.sociuted Press

A S100000,000 cancer control pro-
rram was turned down by the House
yesterday.
The measure was defeated on a
l39-to-126 roll call vote after soppo-
nents termed it loosely drawn" leg
islation which would promote
chaos" in Federal cancer projects
already under way.
The bill sought authority for the
President to mobilize an ade-
cuate number of the worlds out
standing experts, and coordinate
and utilize their services through an
Independent group appointed by him
IN a supreme endeavor to discover
means of curing and preventing
cancer"
Sponsors declared this group
could attack the cancer problem in
the same way experts created the
atom bomb.
But Representatives Judd, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota and Bulwinkle,
Democrat, of North Carolina, chief
opponents, argued that the work
could be done just as well by ex-
banding the present cancer program
of the National Cancer Institute
and the United States Public
Health Service.
Representative Nicely. Democrat,
Of West Virginia, author of the
legislation. pleaded for it's adoption
on grounds that "a new approach"
is needed to the cancer problem.
He said that during three years
of World War II cancer killed 50O,-
900 Americans, compared with 273,-
600 Americans who died in battle.

group of rascals" want to establish
claim to some of the oil-rich
properties.
He said these persons, whom he
did not name, have filed claims at
the Interior Department to dispute
other claims now filed with the
States.
House Accepts Amendment.
The bill previously had passed the
House September 20, 1945, by a los
to II standing vote. The Senate, in
approving it Monday, added ar
amendment retaining United States
claim to property beyond the three
mile limit to the continental shelf
In yesterdays action, the House
agreed to accept this version.
Besides the terminal leave bill
several other major issues still stand
in the path of final adjournment.
The Senate is expected to act to-
morrow on an amended version of
the House-approved Social Security
Bill. 1t freezes the payroll tax for
Fedora lold-age insurance for an
other year at per cent each on
employer and employe, brings 20O,-
600 maritime workers under the
Unemployment Compensation sys-
tenn and liberalizes Federal aid to
the States for grants that are paid
to the aged, the blind and to needy
children.
Also awaiting Senate action is the
bill the House passed yesterday eX-
tending the life of the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation, coupled
with a S75,000,000 credit to the new
Philippine Republic.
House Votes to Adjourn Friday.
The House yesterday passed the
resolution fixing Friday as adjourn
nent day, but Senate leaders prob
ably will avoid calling it up until
remaining must" measures have
cleared all hurdles. If the Senate
should concur too soon in the Fri
day adjournment date, it would en-
courage fllibustering tactics in the
closing days.
II the Senate accepts the Friday
adjournment on a sine die basis
without a date for reconvening-it
will send Congress home until jan
uary 3. the longest recess since
1888. The President, of course.
could call the lawmakers back in the
meantime by ordering a special ses-
sion.
Unless there is a special session.
therefore, this will be the end of a
Congress which has been almost
steadily AT work since January,
l945, passing through the historic
ending of hostilities, the death of
President Roosevelt, and the subse-
quent efforts of Mr.. Truman to get
through far reaching reconversion
program.
Handled International Issues,
In the international field, the 10th
Congress upheld the administration
by ratifying the United Nations
charter, and passing the Breton
Woods world monetary agreement,
a broadened Reciprocal Trade agree
ment act and the British loan.
In the domestic field, however, this
Congress developed a growing indie
