exert influence in national elections.
There is another, possibly even
more important, factor in Lewis for
saking the AFL He is able to COM
pete, once again, with both the AFL
and CIO in organizing workers out
side the coal industry
In both politics and union organiz-
ing, Lewis already has tools at hand
Politically, Lewis has Labor's Nom
Partisan League, long-dormant
predecessor of the CLOS present Po-
litical Action Committee.
In his first breal with the AFL in
1886, Lewis formed the League as
part of the CIO which he also or
ganized. Lewis abandoned CIO lead
ership in 1910, as he had promised to
if Franklin Roosevelt won third
term. When Lewis walked out of the
CIO in 1912, Labor's Non-Partisan
League went with him. Lewis has
nursed it along ever since-on linn
tied scale.
Lewis has been nursing, too, his
District so of the miners union. This
is a UNIV branch without miner,
a catchall for workers in various in
dustries, including railroads and
chemicals.
Angry with the AFL because its
leaders signed the non-Communist
pledges required by the Taft-Hartley
Law, Lewis may run into difficulties
in organizing workers. Unions whose
officers signed the pledges have ac-
cess to the National Labor Relations
Board and through it advantages over
non-complying unions.
A strong foe of Communism, Lewis
opposed signing the pledge because
he wants total war against the Taft
Hartley Act. An independent labor
leader once more, Lewis is in posi-
ton to go his OWL way now in at
tacking the law in the courts.

POLITICS: Eisenhower as Dark Horse

Political strategists for Governor
Dewey and Senator Taft regard Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower as potentially
the toughest man to beat for the Re-
publican Presidential nomination.
Dewey forces say the retiring Army
chief of staff may become the strong
est dark horse imaginable if the New
York governor is unable to break
through the line of major candidates
and favorite sons early in the conven-
ton. They concede privately this line
up will block any first ballot nomina-
ton at Philadelphia in June.
Taft hackers believe, too, that
Eisenhower may be the man they
have to beat to get the nomination.
All major candidates, including for
mer Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Min
nesota, are likely to concentrate on
Eisenhower trying to force him into
the open and on record on controver-
sial national issues as early as pos
sible.
Gen. Eisenhower, who will retire
early next month, is scheduled to be-
come president of Columbia Univer-
sity June 7.
Regardless of the Eisenhower devel-
opments, Gov. Dewey is said to be
determined not to announce his can
didacy formally before the conven-
ton. Sen. Taft, an avowed candidate,
is not expected to ride the campaign
trail during the next few months. Taft
counts on writing his platform in
Congress.
The Dewey camp claims 400 con-

Education
A Critical Appraisal

Sweeping revision Of the American
educational system in 1,7OO colleges,
universities and professional schools
was recommended this week by the
Presidents Commission on Higher
Education.
Although colleges now have more
students than ever before, the COM
mission claims the nation is neglect
ing many of its brightest students.
It proposed that colleges double their
enrollments BY 1860, from the present
2,24O,OOO to 100000. Graduate schools
should increase from 175,000 to 6Oo,-
600 during the same period IT they
are to meet national needs, the COM
mission said.
The report was compiled by COM
mission of % civic and educational
leaders appointed by President Tru.
man in July, 1916 It is the first OF
six on Higher Education for Amer
lean Democracy"
The commission recommended that
the federal government provide dl-
rect aid to colleges and universities
and underwrite a national system OF
scholarships and fellowships.
Free public education, now available
through high school, should be ex-
tended to the first two years of col
lege for all who can qualify, the edu-
Gators said. They also recommended
creation of hundreds of community
colleges at the Junior college level.
It advised revamping curricula to
fit the modern age and not to train
young gentlemen for leisure in the
old European tradition. While 1t
stressed the importance OF research,
the report advised graduate and pro-
fessional schools to revise their pro-
grams in order to graduate we'll
rounded persons rather than mere
specialists and technicians.

The American Red Cross reported

Two hundred anc eighty seven dis
asters occurred in As states and Alas
ka They included 141 fires, so floods,

This is the stop-gap aid advocated
bv President Truman as preliminary
to the four-year European Recovery
Program. also known as the Marshall
plan. The President appeared Novem-
ber II before the reconvened session
to formally request interim relief 1or
the three European countries. emma
was added to the program by the
House
In a special message before adjourn
ment. Mr.. Truman asked Congress to
vest administration of ERP in an IN
dependent. one-man agency to be
known as the Economic Cooperation
Administration.
Bv agreement, consideration OF EN-
went over to the regular session which
will open January 6.
Party Lines
Harmony between the executive
and legislative branches disappeared
however, on the domestic 'front.'
The Republican Congress wouio
have none of its Democratic Presl-
dents requests for standby wage
nr;ce controls and rationing powers.
Instead, it drafted substitute Whlcn
provided for voluntary agreements
by industry to hold down living costs.
In a legislative test of strength, the
COP attempted to speed the Dill
through the House on a take 1t or
leave it" basis. This procedure pars
amendments and limits debate but
requires a two-thirds vote for pas
sage. 49,.
first time since early New Deal days,
not Democrat broke party ranks to
vote for the bill. The vote was 202 to
1873.
Family Costs Up
Meanwhile the Bureau of Labor
Statistics calculated this week that
the cost of maintaining city family
of four has risen about $3.50 year
since March, 1946. 1t found living
costs highest in Washington, Seattle
and New York, and lowest in New
Orleans, Kansas City, Mo-, and Hous-
ton.

SCIENCE: Invisible Slices Of Bologna

well as from planes is feasible, ac-
cording to report released by the
Department OF Commerce.
1T should be possible to seed
clouds over great areas by means OF
silver iodide generators on the
ground" said the report by General
Electric scientists under contract to
the Army and Navy on man-con-
trolled weather projects. The cost,
they predicted, would be very low
in comparison with plane projects.
Very fine particles of silver iodide
serve as effective cloud icing agents
at temperatures under five degrees
below zero, Centigrade, the scientists
said.
They found it probable that thun-
derstorms might be profoundly modl-
fed" by dropping dry ice over de-
veloping storms as soon as the tops
of the thunder clouds reach freezing.
The storms should be less severe,
hail should be avoided, but the storms
will last longer, it was said.
Atomic Speculation
Meanwhile, as official secrecy closed
in on the atomic proving grounds the
US. is building at Eniwetok in the
Marshall Islands, scientists noted it
was almost a year and half since
the last A-bomb tests at Bikini.
Nuclear efficiency of the Bikini
bombs, by official statement, was OF
a very low order-about one-tenth OF
one per cent of fashionable materials.
There are reports that nuclear
physicists working on military appli-
cation of atomic energy recently
asked for new tests to check their
pencil-and-paper computations, indi-
eating that bigger and better bombs
theoretically are here.

The special steel-alloy blade is an
inch long, mounted on the rim of a
disc spun by an electric motor at a
speed of $4,000 revolutions minute.
The average electric fan spins at
1,750 rpm.
The strip of metal, bone, tooth or
fiber to be cut is pushed slowly into
the path of the disc, much like bo-
logna in a meat-slicer. The material
is frozen in liquid nitrogen to pre-
vent frictional heat destroying it.
The blades speed is faster than
sound and no camera so far has been
able to show the actual cutting.
The new knife can slice thinner
more materials (including brass, pure
iron, stones and plastics) than any
other laboratory tool Under the cleo
tron miscroscope, their structure can
be studied to learn what happens to
metals and other materials under diff
ferent conditions, how bone is formed,
or what happens in tooth decay.
Virus Invaders
Scientists at the National Institute
of Health have photographed through
the electron microscope tiny virus
invading and killing a living cell.
These pictures supply new method
of attacking such mysteries as polio,
cancer and growth processes. Some
