posed to determine whether
landlubbers, making their first
Equatorial crossing by boat, can
stand the rugged sea life. Mr..
Truman had to answer charges
that he was a ]andlubber, an
aviation enthusiast and, worse,
a Democrat.
He got off with a speech after
pleading innocent to charges
that he disobeyed deep-sea reg
ulations by flying across the
Equator on his way to Brazil.
He reminded Neptune that the
Missouri would not have cross
ed the Equator if he had not so
ordered.
Little d Democrat
MI. Truman did his best to
answer Neptune's charges that
he violated the mo politics rule.
He admitted partially the charge
that he was a Demo crat, but con-
tended that it was with a little
d :"
At one point, he said, that, as
commander-in-chi of the U.
S. Navy, he had certain preoga-
tives-in the United States. But
he told the court that he had no
intention of exercising them at
sea and would seek no reprisals.
Miss Truman had to sing can
chors Aweigh" as her part in
the ceremonies but Woodward,
the State departments chief of
protocol, Presidential Assistant
John R. Steelman and Presiden-
tia1 Secretary Matthew j. Con-
nelly did not get off so easy.
Their punishment included
mustard messages, doses of quin-
inc, dunking in a pool, electric
shocks, and a sound padding by
sailors armed with canvas clubs.

practically blinded by a mustard
massage and then dumped
backward into the pool,
After being ducked repeatedly
by a group of sailors, known as
"bears', he finally gasped the
magic word, "shellback." AS a
clincher he was tossed head
over-heels down an oiled ramp
into the midst Of free-swinging
sailors with clubs who made him
run the gantlet.
Steelman was the first to face
Neptune. He was ducked repeat
edly in the pool until he got the
idea that he could go free when
he shouted "shellback." His
shout could be heard all over
the Missouri.
Mrs. Truman escaped the cere-
monies, as did Presidential Sec
retaries Charles G.. Ross and
William D. Hassett and Maj. Gen.
Harry H. Vaughn, the Presi-
dents military aide, who already
was a "shellback."
The part of King Neptune was
played by Chief Machinist J. H.
Harrington, Long Beach, Calf.
Seaman Treated
While the ceremonies were
carried out on the decks, a 26-
year = old merchant seaman,
Charles A. Scott, of Egermont,
Miss, was being treated in the
Missouri's sick bay for blood
poisoning.
Scott, a crew member Of the
S. S. Del Sol, had been transfer
red to the fast Destroyer Small
yesterday and later was taken
aboard the Missouri for treat
ment. Scott had cut his hand and
infection set in.

piled that the policy is one of delay
because of the cost involved. We are
fully in accord with the application
of economy to Federal expenditures
However, the enterprises of Cow
ernment are vast. There are many
areas in which curtailments can be
made with less danger. Let us not
sacrifice our children for economy
nor reduce the effectiveness of our
public school systems as a bulwark
of the American way Of life. We
ask your consideration of this view-
point, and we urge that you dis
cuSs it with others who work with
you in shaping the policies of the

The statement said also: "Steps

current session before it adjourns
this summer"

Majority Leader Halleck received
his 80 visitors courteously but in

his own views, saying it was a mat

The party was planned for the

O. Moscow believes that the five
peace treaties concluded last fall in
New York will be ratified by the
United States Senate. But even if
they are not, 1t makes little diff
ference as far as the three satellite
states - Bulgaria, Hungary and
Romania-are concerned. There are
enough Soviet troops in those three
= countries to assure Russian control
r Some Resistance to Reds.
: While the governments of Ro-
mania and Bulgaria are 100 per
: cent under Russian tutelage, some
resistance to Communist domina-
ton continues in Hungary.
The Hungarian elections in late
.1945, were disappointment for the
Russians. Field Marshal Klementi
Voroshilov, then in supreme COM
mand in Hungary, apparently was
misinformed by his subordinates
and failed to take the usual precau-
tions which would have assured the
& Communists SO per cent, of the
ballots.
The Smallholders Party unexpect-
edly won. Marshal Voroshilov was
recalled to Moscow and the Hun
garian police army and other in
.struments of authority were placed
under the Russian secret police. But
even these measures did not give
n Russia the full control it aims to
: have in all the countries behind the
iron curtain.

of their freedom. They are one of
the sturdiest peoples in Europe and
are violently nationalistic. The Macy
administration persisted in raising
small distractions to Russian Of
flcials, whose orders were to make
their control over Hungary complete.
While obeying to some degree the
dictates of Soviet representatives.
the Hungarian government insisted
on maintaining a degree of inde-
pendence which was expressed In
more friendly relations with Amer
lea and Britain than the Soviet
authorities liked to see.
Early this year Premier Macy was
ordered to ban all Hungarian Ian
guage papers published in the
United States. except one which
fully espoused the Communist cause.
He was ordered to end all cultural
intercourse between Hungarians in
Europe and those in America. He
reluctantly enforced these orders
after appealing quietly for support
to Washington and London. The
British and American governments
were in no position to help him out
however.
Russians Annoyed.
This Irritation between the Hun
garian Premier, who had gained Q
dangerous degree of popularity in
his own country, and the capitalist
monopolist reactionary' western
powers annoyed the Russian author
tiles. They are aware of the anti
Russian underground which exists
in every one of the satellite states
of Eastern Europe, but they could
not tolerate only half a stooge at
the head of the Hungarian govern
ment.
Mr.. Macy could have been arrested
as dangerous Fascist" for his "un-
democratic" ideas. But there was
risk in such a step. The Hun
garians, down-trodden and hungry,
still have enough vitality to stage
an uprising which could have I'M
pleasant consequences for the Rus
slams. The Russians, therefore, de-
cided that the best way would be
to ease Mr.. Macy out by allowing
him to go to Switzerland for a
change of political climate.
A completely submissive premier
has been found in the person of the
war minister, Lajos Dinnyes, who is
expected to play the Russian game
as heartily as do the premiers of
Poland, Romania and Bulgaria
Hungary's position in the Russian
orbit will thus be assured.
