Last week was q wonderful week
for those who seek entertainment
along with enlightenment in the
doings of Congress.
There was certain amount Of
confusion in the Senate, including
an after-you-my-dear -Alphonse ex-
change between Senators Vanden-
berg, Republican, Of Michigan, and
Millikin, Republican. of Colorado.
The man from Colorado had a point
which he did not wish brushed
aside.
Senator Vandenberg: "I am sure
the Senator does not think I am
lightly brushing it aside"
Senator Millikin: II do not think
any of us should lightly brush 1t
aside"
Senator Vandenberg: "The Sen
ator from Colorado never raises any
point which I lightly brush aside,
because he almost always has va
lidity for anything he says"
Senator Millikin: II thank the
Senator"
Senator Vandenberg: II am SIM
ply suggesting that we cannot have
our cake and eat 1t, too"
Senator Millikin: II suggest there
is no point in having a cake If you
do not eat it."
Much Ado About Cake.
Senator Vandenberg: After you
have eaten it, as I understand, 1t
has disappeared"
Senator Millikin: But If you dc
not eat it, what Is the use of hay
ing it?"
Senator vandenberg: We'll, there
it is"
But the House, with more mem
bers to call on, easily bested that
dialogue.

Clio Asks FEC Action.
AGAINST Radio Station
That Cut Off PROGRAM.
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

The CIO announced yesterday it
had protested to the Federal Com
munications Commission that sta
ton WFOR, Hattiesburg, Miss,
censored CIO-"America United"
program on December Z by cutting
1t OF the air.
In . letter to Paul A. Walker, act
ing chairman Of the FEC, Allan l..
Swim, publicity. director for the
CIO, contended the station had vio-
lated the principles of free speech,
and asked that the FEC take the
strongest possible action.
The broadcast in question,
handled over the National Broad
casting network, was on "our civil
rights-are they in danger?"
Participants In Program.
Participants included Palmer
Weber, research director OF the
Political Action Committee; Frank
Donner, assistant counsel of the
CIO; Leslie Perry of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People and Fred Bailey
Of the National Grange.
The C1O said that about two
thirds through the broadcast, Mr.
Weber declared that the plantation
system in the South was largely
responsible for continuation of poll
taxes, the death of the Fair Employ
ment Practices Committee and the
absence of a Federal Anti-Lynching
Law. He declared that legislation
on those questions is needed "to
protect the daily civil liberties OF
millions of people in the South"
Mr.. Perry subsequently com
mented that during the Senate in.
vestigation in 1916 of the Mississippi
elections, numerous public official.
OF the State testified that they hao
consciously made it more difficult
for Negroes to vote, that they hac
encouraged them not to vote, thai

China Orders Dairen
Closed 10 All Ships,
Including Russian
By the A,soeio,sd Pres,

NANKING, Aug. 20.-China today
ordered the Russian controlled port
of Dairen closed ito all foreign ship
ping" and a spokesman said the
government was studying closely
frequent reports of Soviet ships from
that city supplying Communist
forces.
Government Information Direc-
tor Hollington Tong said China's
Executive Yuan had decreed that
any vessel-including Russian-en-
tering or leaving the port would be
operating illegally in Chinese wa
ters. -.
China issued a white paper June
Is accusing Russia Of failing to
abide by her treaty with China and
blocking Chinese entry into Dairen,
and Port Arthur ever since Japan's
surrender.
Dairen, only IT miles from the
big Russian naval base at Port Ar
thur, was designated a free port
open to shipping Of all nations
under the Sino-Soviet treaty Of
August, 1945. 1t was to be admin
istered jointly by China and Russia.
Mr.. Tong added that "Dairen, be-
ing a port under Chinese jurisdic-
ton, should not be used by any
foreign power" Last week he said
a government mission was unable to
obtain some information from
Dairen because Of sabotage OBJ
structions.
Although Chinese officials recog-
nized that China lacks the physical
means of enforcing the closing order,
the independent newspaper Hsin
Min Pao said the Executive Yuan
had ordered the government min
listers ito take appropriate steps
against ships operating Illegally"
Some sources said the govern
ment acted under a regulation Of
last March under which certain
Chinese ports were closed to foreign
shipping. The last American courier
ship visited Dairen March 6.
