mittee report imputed to him per.
sonally actions taken on Canol by
the chiefs of staff as a body.
Wartime members of this toy
military group in addition to King
were Admiral William H. LeaAy,
chief of staff to the president;
General George G. Marshal, army
chief of staff, and General H. H.
Arnold, commanding general,
Army Air forces. The Senate COM
mittee, at that time headed by
President Truman as Senator
from Missouri, had recommended
in l943 that Canol be dropped.
When the military men decided it
should be continued, the commit
tee sought the reasons.
King wrote Mr.. Truman on be-
half of the joint chiefs of staff that
secrecy of which must be reserv-
ed"
That was the only answer the
committee ever got until Monday
when King testified and the COM
mittee put into its records the files
of the chiefs of staff regarding
Canol. Wartime secrecy was lifted
from those files by a weekend
order from the President.
King said that as far as he
could recall the chiefs of staff had
simply approved recommendations
from the joint production survey
committee, a group of Army and
Navy officers which was set up
by the chiefs of staff.
In response to questions, King
said he personally had not read
the testimony to the survey com.
mittee and hence did not know on
what basis it recommended con.
~tinuance of the project. Kilgore
asked what 5000 barrels of oil
daily would mean so far as operat-
ing a fleet was concerned.
1T is small potatoes" King re.
piled.
That amount, Kilgore told HON,
was the maximum that experts
expected from the Canol project.
Kilgore added that 5000 barrels
would be no more than enough to
keep one squadron of heavy bomb
ers in the air.

Doctor Says
BLOOD PRESSURE
0VERRULES DIETS
BY WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D.

Patients with high blood pres
sure often ask their physicians to
suggest a diet which will correct
their condition. Several diets have
been tried, but Only weight-reduc-
ton diets are helpful, and TIM
ton diets are helpful, and then
only, of course, if the patient Is
overweight.
Red faced, overweight heavy
eaters often have high blood pres
sure, and many people believe that
eating excessive quantities of meat
is normal, but in the small arteries,
is the cause of the condition.
In high blood pressure, the diff
ticulty is not in the blood, which
which are CONSTRUCTED by spasm
or by hardening Or by both.
Red meat is not a cause OF high
blood pressure, for red meat does
not differ, except in color, from
white meat. Those with high blood
pressure are no longer advised to
limit their consumption Of protein
foods (meats, fish, Fowl, eggs, and
cheese, for those foods, eaten in
moderation, + beneficial.
Diets from which practically all
the salt has been eliminated have
been tried in treating high blood
pressure, for under certain condl~
tions excessive salt can cause the
pressure to go up. Most good-eat-
ers like their food well sailed, how
ever, and when salt is taken from
them they feel weak and disinclin-
ed to eat; their blood pressure
may be lowered by weakness from
fasting, but there Is no basic ef-
tect on the arteries.
Patients with high blood pres
sure are advised to drink water
when they feel thirsty, except in
cases where they are being treat
ed for some special complication
in which fluid is restricted. Spe-
cial spring waters do not have any
greater value in reducing blood
pressure than does plain drinking
water.
High-b1ood-pressurs patients who
60 to spas for a change respond
to the well-ordered life in those
institutions by relaxing their ten
sion and getting more rest. Their
pressure comes down. but it is the
change in their way Of living, rath-
err than the special water they
drink, which accounts for the i'm
provement.
Part Of the increased pressure
reading in the overweight indivi-
dual is the result Of the blood
%pressure's being taken through a
fat arm, while some of the re-
mainder results from his mechan-
ical load of fat (Which is compara-
BILE to a sack of flour carried on
the individuals baek).
Exercise is not recommended
tor weight reduction In hyperten-
sion cases.
Patients with high blood pres
sure should not use reducing drugs
except under a physicians super
vision.
The high-b1ood- pressure patient
whose weight is normal should not
alter his daily eating-habits, for
emotional upsets are more apt to
give him trouble than is a con-
%tinuation of his regular activity.
QUESTION: My roommate is
afraid that she will catch my
psoriasis. Is this possible?
ANSWER: No, psoriasis is not
contagious. 1t usually runs a
chronic or %recurrent course. and
no germ or virus Is responsible
for it.

to enter this dispute at all, let
them come in old clothes and pre-
pared to yield the protection of
their official dignity. For I will
not deny myself the right to accuse
them of failure in their own re-
s~ponsibility. In the presence of
notorious and dangerous conditions
the moral leader has a duty to ad-
monish his spiritual p-oteges, in
stead Of which we find too many
OF them trying to justify oppres-
sion by their friends merely be-
cause they go to church.

Sidetracking The Cabinet

u O\AAAA
President Washington, feeling the
need of comforting with others on mat
tiers of state, first constituted the
twenty-six member Senate as a Cabinet
and then tried to get the Supreme Court
to function in an advisory capacity. The
Senate proving unwieldly and the Court
turning a deaf ear to him, he next turn
ed to the Secretaries of State, War and
Navy and the Attorney General as a
Council of four"
In a desultory way thereafter and
as governmental departments increased,
succeeding Presidents gathered the
heads of each into an official family
with the commendable object of profit
ing by their advice and shaping his
policies largely on their recommended
tions.
There have been notable exceptions,
particularly since President Jackson's
Kitchen cabinet" But it remained for
President Roosevelt to use his Cabinet
chiefly as a sounding board to echo his
praises after he had individually made
important decisions, and to depend upon
his elmer cabinet or brain trust" for
advice.
Now, though President Truman has
said that he intends to use the Cabinet
as an advisory committee, he still has
to put the plan into operation. 1t is
reported of the latest Cabinet meeting
that Mr.. Truman reviewed his state
ment on the meat shortage-after the
statement had been issued-and casual
ly discussed legislation he proposes to
introduce in Congress when it recon-
venes, together with the politics involv-
ed. The session was all over in three
quarters of an hour.
And it concerned, not the shaping
of policies but decisions already made.
James Reston, in a special dispatch
from Washington to the New York
Times, notes that although Secretary
of State Byrnes has reported to the
Cabinet on three occasions his difficult
ties with the Russians there has been
no real attempt to debate the subject
within the Presidents Cabinet council.
Mr.. Reston adds that this is as true of
major domestic questions as of the Rus
sian question.
While Mr.. Truman disposed of the
brain trust" when he took over upon
MIR. Roosevelt's death, he has substitute
ed a small group of advisers outside
the Cabinet, and leaves the Cabinet in
the equivocal position of learning his
decisions, in which the members are
deeply concerned, after they are ar
rived at. The Cabinet is not even a board
of review. 1t is merely an audience as
sembled at irregular intervals to hear
for the most part what has already
TRANSFERRED.
The Cabinet is not a Constitutional
body, but it could be OF inestimable
value to the President if he could bring
himself to discuss important state mat
tiers with its members in advance.

Philippines Situation
Is Critical, McNutt
Cables President
BY the Associated Press.


MANILA, Jan. Reconnaissance
Paul V. McNutt. describing the
Philippines situation as critical"
today cabled President Truman
urging passage of the Bell rehabili-
tation and trade bill to prevent what
he said would be serious conse-
quences in the islands.
1T does not at this moment
seem humanity possible for the
Filipino people-ravaged and de-
moralized by the cruelest and most
destructive of wars, politically split
between loyalists and enemy COL
laborators, and with several stable
well-armed dissident groups still at
large-to cope with the coincidence
of political independence and the
tremendous economic demands of
rehabilitation" Mr.. McNutt said in
his message to the President. THE
situation here is critical"
The commissioners Office said Mr..
McNutt cabled President Truman in
response to information from
Washington that some opposition of
an underlined nature had developed
from unexpected sources" to the Bell
measure, which would guarantee
Philippine american free trade for
eight years after 1946 and impose a
gradually rising tariff scale there
after.
Mr.. McNutt said the Bell bill is
"the central feature in the rehabili-
tation of the Philippines" He traced
the development of Philippine Amer
lean trade relations and declared
lit should be obvious that after 80
years of forced development into
almost complete dependence on the
United States market a sudden re-
versal of that economy is impossible
without counting disaster; the mis-
take was ours and we have an obi
cation to adopt remedial measures
Anxiety also has been expressed
here because Chairman Bell of the
House Insular Affairs Committee
has announced the Tydings war rep
arations measure for the Philippines

ference with the internal affairs of
Iran" The Iranian- Russian dispute
|centers on conditions in the North
ern Iranian province of Azerbaijan,
in the Russian occupation zone,
where a self-styled autonomous re-
gime has been established.
The Security Council, which held
its first meeting last Thursday and
none since. probably will be sum-
moned into session by Thursday or
Friday to decide how to tackle the
pending issues.
Council leaders, conceding they
were moving into an uncharted field
with no clear rules yet established,
speculated that the Council Ulti-
mately would name commissions to
make on-the-spot Investigations in
Iran, Greece and Indonesia and re-
port back.
Some disagreement with the six
power plan for controlled atomic
energy, initiated yesterday by the
Assembly's Political and Security
Committee, developed at another
session of the committee today.
1t was expressed by Australia S
chief delegate, Norman Maxim,
chairman of the Security Council,
who said he objected to an atomic
commission mot freely chosen from
among the members of the United
Nations"
He asserted the commission, pro-
posed by the United States, Britain,
Russia, Canada, France and China,
could scarcely be said to be re-
sponsible to the General Assembly
because it would be the Security
Council which would decide what
reports would be transmitted to the
General Assembly"
Mr.. Maxim proposed that all in
formation within the limits of secur-
ity should be made available by
the commission to the public.

Tension in Greece Cited.
The Russians themselves said
nothing beyond the letters which
Soviet Delegate Andrei Gromyko
and Ukrainian Delegate Dmitri
Manuilsky filed with the United Ma

Mr.. Gromyko's letter said:
The maintenance of British troops
in Greece becomes means of pres
sure on the internal situation in the
country, which is not seldom used
by reactionary elements against the
democratic forces of a country.
This situation, which means in
ternal interference in the affairs of
Greece, with the aid of armed forces
of a foreign power, has created a
tension which is fraught with great
consequences for the Greek people
as well as for the maintenance of
peace and security"
Referring to ndonesia-where the
native population has revolted
against Dutch rule-Manuilsky said
in his letter:
"As is known, in that country sew
eral months of military actions di-
rected against the local population
have been waged, in which British
troops as well as japanese enemy
armed forces are taking part.
I'm the opinion of the Ukrainian
government this situation has Gre

security . ."

Potomac Parkway
Plan 5tymied in Both
Maryland, Virginia

Further construction of the long
heralded George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway is stymied on both
sides of the Potomac River, it was
learned today-in Maryland by a
legislative quirk and in Virginia
by land purchase stalemate.
This SOLDERING news followed
closely revelation in the Presidents
budget message yesterday that
funds are being asked to extend
the parkway under Key Bridge and
up Spout Run to connect with Lee
Highway.
At this point the parkway will
have gone as far as it can go in
Virginia until either:
/. The State and Arlington Coun-
ty agree to put up half the amount
necessary to buy more land. or
2. The Smoot Sand and Gravel
Co. which owns virtually the entire
river bank from Spout Run upriver
to Chain Bridge agree to sell its
land by the square foot at what the
Government considers to be a fair
price instead of by the cubic foot as
stone quarry material at a price
the Government feels it cannot
pay
Stumbling Block in Maryland.
On the Maryland side Of the river,
where land purchases have gone
more smoothly and acquisition Is Is
per cent complete, no roadway can
be constructed because OF leglsla-
tive quirk in the Capper-Cramton
Act, under which the parkway is
being acquired.
When the act was passed in 1880
opposition from Senators who dis
liked seeing Maryland receive a
superhighway built at no expense
to the State insisted on amending
the act to require the roadway it
self be constructed by the State
Highway Commission.
Since this would place Maryland
in the position of expanding funds
on Federal land, generally deemed
contrary to State law. no roadway
can be installed until basic legisla-
ton is amended.
The Maryland situation, however,
may be cleared up in time for road
construction. 1t is reliably under
stood that the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
land purchase agency for the prof.
ect. soon will ask Congress to amend
the act.
Virginia Prospect Is Darker.
Not so promising is the outlook in
Virginia.
1t would be simple matter TO
purchase the Smoot property, or
at least a right of way through it,
if the question could be left to a
condemnation jury. But condemna-
ton proceedings cannot be started
until Virginia funds are forthcom-
ing. Under the Capper-Cramton
Act land purchases for the park
way are made half with Federal
funds and half with funds from
other sources, either the State, the
county or land owners whose adj
joining property would be made
more valuable by the parkway.
Thus, to purchase the Smoot land
without State and county funds
it would be necessary to agree to
a price high enough so that the
gravel company could consider half
the amount donation.
Appraisal of the property by the
cubic foot as quarry material, how
ever, skyrockets the price beyond
any agreement the planning COM
mission is authorized to make.
The parkway project, when COM
pleted, would stretch from Mount
Vernon to Great Falls on both sides
of the Potomac. A bridge above
Great Falls is planned to link the
two sections and tie in with major
Maryland and Virginia road sys-
TENS.
