A Taft-Dewey Issue
Cincinnati Enouirerl

Senator Taft's blunt opposition to universal mili- tary training, possible means of encouraging naturally is of special interest in of Governor Deweys equally outspoken comments, much earlier in favor of such military training. While peacetime certain to come before Congress for showdown well in advance of the national party conventions.
 Senator Tafts position is not surprise, since he was singled out by various Washington newsmen the most influential person in Congress in blocking consideration of any universal military training meas at the last session. The Senator has made his attitude perfectly clear.
 Development of the National Guard is the alter native policy which Senator Taft espouses This idea has a considerable following, but nothing to compare with the support for real universal military training If it were adopted it would be a compromise. not a program chosen as being better than universal mli- tary training under the direct supervision and control of the Army, Navy and Air Forces.
 In purely political terms. universal military train ing is of the imponderables. Various polls of public sentiment show large maortes in favor of such training. According to that evidence Governor Dewey is t.e likely to benefit politically by his position But seems clear that opposition to universal military training is much vocal and intense than support of it even though limited to a small minority. And sometimes, especially in appraising the prospects of potential candidates for high office the support of small. highly vocal bloc is important than the back,-lg of unorganzed and lethargic ma jority. Senator Taft in other words has taken what is on paper the unpopular side; but he may find it source of strength rather than a handicap, nevertheless

Invasion of Homes
Wa shington Post)


 Strong underpinning has been given to the con- sttutional safeguards against invasion of private homes by the opinion of Judges Edgerton, Stephens and Miller of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The court upheld judg- ment of S6500 against the estate of the late Marshal John B. Copoys whose deputies had forced their way into the home of John J. Foreman i'll trying to serve civil process on odger. The evidence indicated that the deputy marshals struck and arrested MT Foreman because of his resistance. "Forcibe entry of dwelling in order to execute civil process is an actionable wrong the court pointed out, and even the death of the responsible official does not prevent the collection Of damages from his estate.
 This penalty for lawlessness in the process of enforcing the law may well be noted by officials i everywhere. "Lawless invasion of homes is the more menacng in democratic society" Justice Edgerton wrote when it is committed by public officers The forcby entry of appellees home would be answerabe if it had not led to the inlctiOn of personal injuries This strict granting of redress for invasion of hcme the more important because the Su- preme Court a different type of recently permitted the conviction of defendant to stand even though the evidence against him had been found in general search of his apartment under warrant issued in connection with wholly different offense.

during his recent visit to Brazil, and he came away determined to dress rp the United States forces in matching splendor. Last week he put his whims into an order that punctured holes in the much ballyhooed Army promise to dress it's officers and CTS alike.
 Tie President called for more gilt and garnish in officers dress uni forms. He even instructed officers who have not outworn or outbulged their pre- war full dress bestS to wear them at state functions until joint Army -Navy-Air Corps com mittee can come up with a post war dress uniform.
 The order dashed aside a year. long survey by the Army Quarter master Corps to find a common dress uniform for officers and men, decided as medium hlue blouse with contrasting light blue trousers.
 While it did not scrap General Eisenhcwer's directive that men and officers should wear the same working uniform, caste-conscious brass hats were encouraged by the Presidential decree and felt that tne whole idea oi identical uniforms may die natural death. They al ready had managed to postpone the T oinised day from June 30, l948 to June 30, 1949
 He Air Corps can new free it. self from the Eisenhower directive imply by adopting 8 separate uni form for itself. It is wellknown that such plan is under consideration. But the inside story is that a final decision will be held up at least a year by lack of funds and oblec- tons from officers who wish to wear out their old clothes. tccPYRIGHT, l947, BELL SYNDICATE.
