Most people lack the courage,
depth, or breadth to write story,
because they are full Of inhibitions
and afraid to let themselves 80.
This was the opinion expressed
last night by Paul Calico, magazine
writer and author of Confessions OF
a Story Writer" speaking to mem
bers and guests of the Professional
Writer'S Club at their 18th an
niversary celebration.
Good writer's must have burning
something to say and the will and
discipline to say it, he asserted.
MIR. Calico warned his audience
the short story is the most difficult
of all writing, because it requires
the most skill and concentration.
The writer pointed out the tough
est part of writing a story is Its
preparation.

purposes must not be attained by sac
rificing the constitutional authority of
the Senate or the future of the Repub-
ncan Party. These have been his basic
aims ever since.
Mr.. Vandenberg's name has come to
be linked equally with that of Secretary
Byrnes in the making of United States
foreign policy and moving as he Is now

f1uence should be even greater.
The Republican holdovers on the 13-
man committee, other than Mr.. VAN

MI. White of Maine and Mr.. Wiley OF
Wisconsin. Because of relegation to the
minority in sharply reduced commit

Senators Barkley of Kentucky, Green

Hill of Alabama and Lucas of Illinois

Democratic members probably will be

One issue on which Mr.. Vandenberg
is sure to head into bitter fight is the
United States-Canadian treaty, provid-

Waterway, which he plans to bring to
the Senate floor as soon as possible.
OF the prospective Republican COM
mittee members, Senators White and
Lodge previously have opposed the

four of the expected Democratic men,

favor of the treaty.
Before the year is out the Senate
must pass upon peace treaties with

The winners Of three new Republican
seats in the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee-more sought after, and
probably more important, than any
other new committee assignments-are
Senators H. Alexander Smith of New
Jersey, Bourke B. Wickenlooper of Iowa
and Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., of Massa-
chusetts.
These appointments not only insure
q solid Republican front in the COM
mittee in support of the Byrnes-vanden-
berg foreign policy, but they wipe out
the last vestige of the Republican isola-
tionism which defeated the World War
I peace treaty in 1920 and dominated
the Senate for 10 years thereafter.
No longer age. than 1914, four out of
seven Republican members Of the COM
mittee-Hiram johnson, Robert M. La
Toilette, jr.; Henrik Shipstead and Ger

lists. Two others-Arthur H. Vanden-
berg, the new committee chairman, and
Arthur Capper-were rated as iola-
tionists until after Pearl Harbor.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

With the opening of the new year. the
contest for the Republican presidential
nomination of 1948 appears to be be-
tween Gov. Dewey Of New York and
Senator Taft of Ohio. This is not meant.
however, to foreclose the nomination to
other extremely available candidates.
among them Gov. Warren of California.
Senator vandenberg Of Michigan and
former Gov. Stassen OF Minnesota. Sem
ator Bricker's name has been omitted be-
cause he has made it clear he is ready
to step aside and support Senator Taft
for the nomination.
In 1910 the race for the Republican
presidential nomination also appeared to
be between Gov. Dewey and Senator
Taft. But that situation was changed
in the last weeks before the opening of
the Republican National Convention in
Philadelphi the late Wendell L.
WILKES whirlwind campaign, which put
him across the winner.
It is within the possibilities that an
other dark horse candidate will arise, as
did Mr.. Willkie, to sweep the convention
delegates. Gen. Eisenhower, for ex-
ample, although the present Chief of
Staff Of the Army has not yet announced
whether he is Republican or a Demo-
crat. Still another military hero-Gen.
Douglas MacArthur-whoi is Republic
can-might be In a position to win the
nomination, particularly if he should
return to the United States from Japan
at strategic hour and travel across
the country.
Gov Dewey is opening his second term
as New York's chief executive. Senator
Taft is beginning his ninth year of serv-
ice in the Senate. During his first eight
years as Senator the Ohioan has become
a major figure in that body and an out
standing leader among the Republicans,
challenged only by Senator Vandenberg
for top honors. He has reached this
position by dint of hard work. Mr.. Taft,
while still an unannounced candidate, is
nevertheless q candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination. Mr.. Vandenberg, on
the other hand, insists that he Is not
a candidate, and that he means just
what he says.

The Republicans have never renomi-
mated a defeated presidential candidate
which would eliminate Mr.. Dewey.
It has been very difficult, however, to
eliminate Mr.. Dewey-or even for Mr..
Dewey to eliminate himself. He has
more political lives than most men, and
today, because of his TOO 000-vote victory
over his Democratic opponent in the
last election, he looms stronger than
ever Mr.. Dewey will continue to saw
wood as Governor of the State with the
largest number Of electoral votes, State
whose vote has been considered essen
tial for Republican victory, while Mr..
Taft continues his legislative knitting on
Capitol Hill.

vention there will be approximately 1058

Molotov and others. Russia has al
ready come out in favor of atomic
priority. Unless it has changed its
mind within the past month. it con-
siders the problem of controlling
nuclear energy to be the most press
ing phase of disarmament and 1t
does not want to drown 1t in the
kindred but less crucial overall
problem of reducing and regulating
arms as whole. Indeed-on the
+ record. at any rate-only the British
have spoken against the idea Of CIV
ing the atom first and separate con-
sideration. Thus, just about month
ago, their chief delegate to the
General Assembly declared that
atomic control should be worked out
"as part and parcel of general
scheme of reduction of ornaments" :"
Whether the British still adhere
to this all-in-one-package idea, or
whether the Russians have reversed
themselves and come around to
adopting it, is not clear at the
moment and probably will remain
coniectural until the Security Coun-
Gil takes up the question in the next
few days. Not conjectural, however,
is our own American position. The
resolution calling for top priority is
wholly in keeping with the view the
United States has maintained ever
since Mr.. Baruch presented our con-
troll plan to the world last June.
At that time-and he has since
repeated 1t with renewed emphasis
he voiced this simple truth: when
a man learns to say "a he can, if
he chooses, learn the rest of the
alphabet too" And more recently,
in an address to the General Assem-
bly,, Secretary of State Byrnes echoed
the same thought in urging the
nations to concentrate. at this par
ticular stage, on the atom and not
dissipate their energies ION the less
important problems of controlling
pistols and hand grenades."
In other words. nuclear energy
comes first among the first things of
disarmament. If the world can sue
ceed in harnessing it for peace under
truly effective system of control,
the problem of reducing and regu-
lating other weapons should be rela-
lively easy. To lump everything
together in single package would
be to invite the. danger of COM
plicating the situation to the point
of paralyzing all action on all armed
power. orthodox as well as atomic.
The United States resolution to
avoid this danger is elf-eyidently
right. and the Security Council
would do well to adopt 1t.

CLOSING Chapter

The Navy's decision to abandon
It's facilities in the Portland-Casco
Bay area of Maine provides the clos
ing chapter in a story of wartime
service which yet remains to be told
in all it's gripping details. Resi-
dents of the area saw some of the
story unfold despite the curtain OF
strict secrecy drawn about the &C
tivities centering there, but even
they lacked any real conception OF
the Importance of what they saw.
They knew that heavily laden
ships in countless numbers assem-
bled of their rocky coast, day after
day, only to disappear as mys-
teriously as they had converged.
They knew that Navy destroyers
and, later in the war, groups of trim
little DEs, or destroyer escorts,
largely from New England shipyards
usually herded the cargo ships out
to sea. They knew that planes from
nearby airfields and blimps from
Weymouth often circled overhead.
And they knew that sometimes
distressingly often in those gray
days and months after Pearl Harbor
battered hulks limped back into
port, or oil-covered, haggard sur
vivors of sunRen ships were brought
ashore from life RATS or floating
wreckage.
What they did not fully appreciate
was that they were witnessing one
aspect of the grim battle of the
Atlantic" battle to get urgently
needed war supplies to our be-
leaguered Allies in Europe-what-
ever the cost. Portland and Casco
Bay were, in effect, the American
approaches to the bridge of ships
which helped Britain and Russia to
resist and finally to throw back the
enemy pressing upon them. Con-
voys were assembled there and sent
forth under escort. At first the cost
was heavy in torpedoed ships and
lost crews, but as the strength of
the escort protection grew by leaps
and bounds the casualties became
lighter and the risks progressively
fewer. Toward the end our ships
were riding the Atlantic lanes vir-
tually unmolested. The battle with
the U-boats had been won.

vention. With considerable number
of candidates in the field. invariably
there is talk in the early preconvention
days of possible deadlock, with none
of the principal contenders able to OBJ
tain a majority for nomination. It was
the hope of Dewey's opposition in 1914
but 1t fizzled out and Mr.. Dewey was
nominated on the first ballot.
Mr.. Taft will have the support OF the
Ohio delegation in the conyention-50
strong. good nucleus. Mr.. Dewey. on
the other hand, will top this with New
York's SO delegates. The answer to the
deadlock question will lie in whether
these two candidates gather to them
selves large enough groups of delegates
to offset each other, with favorite-son
candidates holding the actual balance
of power. The Ohio Senator Is report
edly strong with old guard, regular Re-
publican organization leaders, and he is
supposed to have some of the Republi-
can leaders in Southern States ready to
eat out of his hand He is likely to
prove tougher opponent for Mr.. Dewey
than was Mr. Bricker in the 1914 con-
vention. Mr.. Dewey on the other hand,
has the ability to go into presidential
preference primaries In number OF I'M
portant States and win delegates.
Whether Mr.. Taft will undertake to
challenge Gov Dewey in such, States
remains to be seen.
This is the picture as of today, with
the Republican National Convention
about year and half in the future.
1t has been suggested that Gen. Eisen-
hover will get into the presidential race.
But Gen. Eisenhower, before he went to
Florida, in private conversation, turned
his back on presidential politics. insist
ing he was not candidate and that dis
cussion of the matter was extremely
embarrassing to him. He would not say
whether he was, or was not, Republic
car-or Democrat. He has no political
record-a professional soldier ever since
he was young man.
With the close of the war, in which
he was great figure, about three years
in the past--as it will be in 1948-and
with the disinclination Of many of the
voters to place military man in the
White House, the likelihood of Gen.
Eisenhowers nomination is slim. After
World War I, Gen. Pershing was dis
cussed as possible presidential nomi-
nee. But the proposal never went be-
yond the discussion stage.
In 1920, the Republicans nominated an
Ohio Senator, Harding. and the Demo-
Gratis, an Ohio Governor. Cox. One
military man, the late Gen. Leonard
Wood, had a big following in the Re-
publican convention. He and Gov.
Lowden of Illinois and Senator Hiram

convention-and Harding emerged the

Senator Homer Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, has put in black and white
his proposals for establishment of labor
courts, patterned after the Federal
judiciary, and embodying the principle
of compulsory. arbitration in at least
eight basic industries or interstate public
utilities.
The proposal, one of many to con-
front the Eightieth Congress, will meet
with vigorous opposition from both
labor and management.
Senator Ferguson suggests, in an
article to be released by American Maga-
zine tomorrow, that the labor courts
should include district, circuit and su-
preme courts, whose decisions would
be binding upon labor and management
alike.
He then proposes compulsory arbitra- :
tion-at least in the basic steel, coal.
oil, gas, shipping, railroad, electric power,
telephone and telegraph industries.
Labor courts have been suggested
before in this country. They are used
in Great Britain and Sweden with
marked success In Britain, however,
the decisions are not binding. although
they generally are accepted. In Sweden.
collective agreements legally are en-
forceable In the labor court. In both
countries, the courts IDEAL chiefly with
Interpretation Of existing contracts. the
validity of sympathy strikes. and so on.
Compulsory arbitration was experi-
mented with in Sweden over period OF
IA years and then abandoned for con-
Citation and voluntary arbitration.
The principle Of labor courts, pat
termed after the foreign experiments,
has been proposed in this country by
such men as Harold e. Stassen. Minne-
sofas former Governor and author OF
the Minnesota Labor Relations Act.
MIR. Stassen, an avowed candidate Tor
the presidency, always has been opposed
to the compulsory arbitration feature.
which is the backbone Of Senator Fer
gusons recommendation for labor tri-
bunals.

pointee, who has burst forth as the
