HOUSE HOLSTERS DRIVE TO PASS
 AID TO GREECE

WASHINGTON, May 6.-lR- House leaders beat down efforts to sidetrack the $4O0, 100000 Greek Turkish aid program today and bolstered a drive for passage with a plea from Secretary Marshall that it is matter of greatest urgency
 Rep. Eaton (R-ND leading the fight for the measure, read to the House letter from Marshall in which the Secretary of State said his views on the legislation had been made more positive" by the Moscow meeting of the foreign ministers council.
 Marshall also termed the program a positive policy" and one lin our own interests and in the interests of peace"
 That apparently was an Indirect reply to Harold Stassen, former Minnesota governor and presiden- tial candidate, who yesterday call ed the policy negative one.

ECONOMY NOW
 BEING SHOWN BY SENATOR'S!
Labor Dept. Agency Funds SIashed 10 Less than
 House Approved

WASHINGTON, May 6.-lR- Economy rode firmly in the Sen ate saddle today with a precedent breaking vote to slash Labor De- partment Federal Security Agency funds bobbing along behind them.
 For the first time in more than a decade, the Senate voted yester- day to cut deeper than the House in approving a Sl,676, ,l98,000 ap- propriations measure for the two bureaus.
 The figure was $8,38S,000 less than the lawmakers across the Capitol had allowed, and $100,0o0,- 000 below President Truman's bud get estimate. Usually in the past the House has voted smaller sums and the Senate has boosted them.
 Senator Byrd (D-Va) who has heen preaching economy for years, told reporter he was gratified.
 Its the first time in IA years that the Senate has shown any dis position to cut government spend ing" he declared. T think it means that we are going to have some real economy in this con- gress.'
 Byrd said no one can guess yet whether the Republican goal of trimming from S4,500,000, ,000 to s6 GOO ,000,0000 off President Tru- mans $37, 500, 100000 budget for the year beginning July 1 will be reached He said the final tally will depend on what, if any, reduc- tions are voted for the armed services.
 With the $163 100000 cut recom- mended yesterday by the House appropriations committee for the State, Commerce and Justice De- partment and the Federal Courts, the budget trimming now stands at about $1,140,000000.

MOSCOW. May 6.--tR--A charge was put forward in Izvestia today that numerous American and British agents dressed in civilian clothes are operating in Turkey as business men.
 The assertion was also made that Turkish reactionaries' contemplate a "cordon sanitaire" stretching from Iran through Turkey into the Balkans and central Europe.
 Apparently history has taught nothing to Turkish reactionaries," !" said A. Anatoliev, author of the Izvestia charges in letter from Ankara'
 Several weeks before President Truman's message on giving aid to Greece and Turkey" said the Izvestia article, "the Turkish off cial newspaper Ulus wrote concern ing a proposal to create so-called security zone.
 The meaning of the zone was entirely clear. The idea of the creation Of an anti-Soviet 'cordon sanitaire' is revived in it.
 Apparently history has taught nothing to the Turkish reaction aries.
 Before the war, the Turks, un- der the leadership of Englishmen. built over 100 airdromes and as- phalted strategic roads and also reconstructed the ports of Isken- deron, Mersin and IzInir," Izvestia said. Tt should be mentioned that Izmir is largely a military and na- val base New, powerful radio sta tions are being erected in Ankara and Istanbu and Izmir.'
 The dispatch asserted the unem- ployment was growing in Turkey because local enterprises are com pelled to reduce their capacity of production, not being able to com pete with the industry of other capitalistic countries,

PROTESTS SEATTLE CONTRACT

WASHINGTON, May 6.-tR'-- Senator Gordon tR-Orel has pro- tested to the Maritime Commission against any contract for an interim steamship service to Alaska which gives exclusive operating rights to three companies.
 The Commission under legisia- tion authorizing it to contract with private carriers for service until June 30. 1948, had approved con- tracts giving three Seattle, Wash, firms the exclusive right to oper- ate the service. The government would furnish ships, pay the insur- ance and recapture 75 percent of the profits. The, companies are to stand any loss.
 Gordon, in a letter to Vice ,Ad- miral William w. Smith. Chairman of the Commission, said the legis- lation did not authorize exclusive contracts.
 The legislation was intended to benefit the people of the Territory of Alaska and not the steamship operators, Gordon said.
 He told Smith the Commission should most thoroughly reexam- inc it's proposed action
 The proposed contract was with the Alaska Steamship Company. the Northland Transportation Com pany and the Alaska Transporta- ton Company of Seattle.

IN THE DARK

Since Key West was in
corporated as a city Id
years ago, every proposed
ordinance has been publish
ed in the local press before
the ordinance was adopted.
Reason for that practice
is not far to seek: it gives
the people of the community
the opportunity to know
what provisions are con-
tanned in the ordinance.
Besides, the law provides
that every penalty ordi-
nance must be published.
A proposed liquor ordi-
nance was read Tuesday
night by City Clerk Roy
Hamlin ut a meeting Of the
City Commissioners. T h e
reading was fast, and 1t was
difficult for anybody to fol-
low it thoroughly. At the
conclusion of the reading,
Mayor Demeritt asked the
Rev. DOherty if ne had any
comment to make. He re-
piled that he would COM
ment when he read the ordi-
nance in the local press. De-
merritt doomed:
THE ordinance will be
'broadcasted'."
Aside from the fact that
a dozen persons may hear a
broadcast about anything,
and each give d different
version of what he heard,
what reason have the city
commissioners, a S s u m / n 6
that is their attitude, of not
wishing to have this parti-
cular ordinance published?
Do they wish assuming
again that any of them is
against publication) to keep
residents generally from
knowing the nature of the
ordinance?
Give an ordinance, of
anything else, in black and
white to the public, and ev-
cry member of the public
can find out specifically
what is contained in the or
dinance. In that event, those
who favor or oppose the or
dinance are in a position to
discuss it intelligently.
But if the ordinance is
"broadcasted," one person
will maintain that it said
this, another that, and a
third, some other thing.
An ordinance is a law,
governing conditions in a
community. so why keep
residents in the dark regard
ing those conditions before
they are adopted?

COSTLY BLUNDER?

Another colossal blunder
Is charged against ashing-
ton in spending money
abroad to improve facilities
useful both to Americans
natives of the areas in which
the projects are located.
The first was the Canol
project in Canada which
bl0tted up a sizeable VOL
ume of the Treastfy's liquid
assets. Now Senator Fergu-
son of Michigan says the
Inter American highway,
designed to provide a motor
road from Laredo, Texas, to
the Panama Canal, is buried
under a combination of
sheer extravaganza, stupid
ity and laundering.
Engineers surveyed this
route in 1871 and estimated
It could be improved for 80
million dollars. The United
States already has spent rs
million dollars on it and the
latest estimate is that the to-
tai cost will exceed 140 mil
lions. That does not include
4S millions already loaned
to Mexico an d Central
American republics.
And what is the United
States getting for the mon
ey? There are gaps all along
the route. At one point in
Costa Rica, there is a gap Of
40 miles of jungle. There
are 400 miles of unconnect-
ed sections in Mexico and
at least 500 miles in Central
America. Nicaragua w s
was given 100 miles of
paved highway that is far
from the Inter-American
project. At another point
100000 was spent merely
TO connect q rich mans es-
tate with the highway.
If the government has
millions Of dollars to waste
building roads. this state
could use it. And many more
Americans will use high
ways in this state than ever
will put rubber to pavement
in Nicaragua and Costa
Rica.

There will always be war,
but the interims of peace
can be extended if we make
a real effort in that direc-
ton. 1t is possible for the
lion and the lamb to lie
down together, but woe to
the little fellow with fleece
as white as snow" if the
king of beasts gets hungry.
