RENO, New, Sept. 22.-Having
put himself on record in support
of the United Nations Palestine
Committees proposal to parti-
ton Palestine into an Arab state
and a Jewish state, Senator Taft
of Ohio is today bowling across
Northern California in Gov.
Warren's automobile to take a

line with Senator Taft's plan to

Of the West, matters in which
the people of this section of the

The potential candidate for the
Republican Presidential nomina-

the best part of the day at Lake
Tahoe, accompanied by Mrs. Taft
and Senator Malone, Republican

In a formal statement on the
Palestine issue, Senator Taft
strongly urged prompt action by

Truman Sees Cabinet
On Foreign Aid and
Rising Prices at Home
Marshall Presents Data
On Europe's Need for
Help This Winter

President Truman called Sec
retary of State Marshall and
other cabinet members into con-
ferences today on foreign and
domestic economic problems that
may require a special session OF
Congress-.
The Chief Executive met with
Gen. Marshall at the White House
shortly after noon to get the latest
reports on Europe's need for emer.
gency aid this winter to meet what
Gen. Marshall has termed an "in.
mediate threat of intolerable hun
ger and cold" Undersecretary
Lovett accompanied Gen. Marshall
to the White House.
Immediately after the 30-minute
talk with Gen. Marshall, Mr.. Tru-
man arranged luncheon with all
members of his Cabinet who are in
town. This provided opportunity
for reviewing the deepening Euro
pean economic crisis in relation to
rising prices and short supplies at
home.
Mr.. Lovett, who left the White
House after the pre-luncheon talk,
refused to comment to reporters.
Food Committee Meets.

committee on WORLD food problems
Gen. Marshall, Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson, and Secretary of
Commerce Harriman-scheduled a
separate conference with Mr.. Tru-
man at pm. after a morning meet
ing at the Agriculture Department.
Secretary Anderson said after the
hour-and-a-ha long meeting that
the committee has some pretty
definite suggestions to make to the
President" but he would give no
details.
Secretary Marshall said he was
delighted" with the agreement at
this mornings meeting but neither
he nor Secretary Hartman would
make any further comment.
Also present were Undersecretary
of State Lovett, Secretary of the
Army Royal, Undersecretary of
Agriculture Dodd and other officials
from the Army, State, Commerce
and Agriculture Departments.
Much Study Required.
The Presidents concentration on
critical foreign problems was indi-
Gated by the fact that these were
his only appointments for the day,
beginning his first week back in the
White House after a 20-day trip to
Brazil.
1t was assumed that Gen. Mar

FACTS for
the VETERAN

Jerry B. was discharged for a
nervous disability in January 1915.
Three weeks later, letter from
the Veterans Administration advis-
ed him that he was to receive a
monthly pension of S11.50. He re-
ceived his pension regularly until
July 1945 when the Veterans Adj
ministration called him in for an
examination. Upon its conclusion,
Jerry was told that his pension
would be discontinued. Although
Jerry has been able to work con-
tinuously since his discharge and
during the time he was drawing
his pension, he claims he still is en-
titled to the monthly check be-

cause he is nervous and. as he puts
it, "jumpy."
To understand the procedure
that led to the discontinuance of
Jerry's pension, the workings of
the Veterans Administration rat
ing boards must be briefly explain
ed. Claims of veterans for bentfits
are handled by Veterans Admin
istration rating board which is on
duty at the regional Office of the
Veterans Administration. This
board is composed of three men,
bers: a doctor, a lawyer, and an
occupational specialist. They are
called rating specialists" Togeth-
er and individually they consider
the factual issues of claims like
Jerry's. When they arrive at a
conclusion in regard to the merits
or demerits of a case, they must
be guided by appropriate rating
schedules. These rating schedules
specify the percentage of veter-
ans disability in relation to the
disabilities the examination re-
veals. In Jerry's case, it seems
clear that the first rating, the one
that entitled him to pension, was
based upon medical facts secured

INTERESTING SURRENDER

Who remembers the criticism leveled
~ the government when il took over the
coal mines and made some sort or working
agreement with the miners?
II was argued at the time that the
miner. were receiving too much, that they
were taking advantage Of favorable labor
laws and that something was necessary
o. cuFh the rapacity of the miners and
their leaders.
With this introduction, we call atten-
ton Co the fact that the operators of the
coal mines. including the captive mines
operated for the steel companies. recently
gave the coal miners their latest in
crease and practically fell over themselves
to sign on the dotted line when John l..
Lewis held out a contract.
u should be noted that the operators
did this in spite Of the passage of labor
lave designed to restrain the rapacity of
the miners and 10 keep labor in line.
Interested spectators wonder what the
explanation can be. One story, making
the rounds. IL that the operators expect
business Ia continue Mt a high pace and
naturally figure that despite the new wage
10 miners. they can get their share of the
profits.

TO REGISTER SEX OFFENDERS

We call attention to a law recently
passed by the Legislature of California,
requiring any person who has been convict
cd of sex offense to register with his To-
cal police chief or sheriff
The statute provid es that such Of
Tenders must re-register if they move to
other cities or counties for thirty days or
more. Backers of the law assert that it
will provide police with list Of known
sex offenders and that this would enable
the police to catch them Immediately when
sex crime is committed.
While there may be some fanatics to
howl that the registration of these often
ders represents RECOMMENDATION of the per-
sons affected, the general opinion of the
people of this country will be in favor of
such law. There is no excuse for per-
permitting sex offenders to range at large
/ to repeat their crimes at will.

PRECIOUS NEWsPRINT

Two years have passed since the end
of the war; yet the shortage Of, newsprint
is acute throughout the world. The Citizen
is harder put now to obtain paper than
it was during the war. In some quarters it
has been charged that big papermakers in
Canada and Norway are holding back pro-
duction in order to keep up prices.
But in England a different charge was
made when the Labor government reduced
the size Of newspapers, including those
with calculations running into millions, to
four pages An Associated Press dispatch
says: .
"A large portion of the press interprets
the reduction as a move to stifle criticism
of the Labor government
One editor asserted that the order
Strikes newspaperland like beam swung
by a giant
But the government could not be budg-
ed. A spokesman said the order would save
SO, 100000 in dollar exchange.
In England, as we'll as in the United
States, hundreds of smaller newspapers
and some larger ones have ceased publ
cation because OF the shortage and high
cost of newsprint Several months ago
movement was started in congress to try to
determine the reason of shortages and
soaring costs in this country, but the move
ment died a-borning.
Monopoly was charged, but no law
designed to break the monopoly, was en-
acted. Since that time the price of news
print has continued to go higher.
Readers of The Citizen take for grant
ed the issuing of the paper day after day,
but its publisher has had to wage a con-
slant fight to be able to get enough news
print to continue publication.
However, we can still hurrah conscien-
tiously for democracy. The government of
the United States has not even limited
about the size of newspapers. That de-
cision has been left to the publishers
themselves.
