Cooley, Mundt Seek
To Restore Farm Cuts
By the Assoeiofed Press

Representatives Cooley, Democrat
Of North Carolina and Mundt, Re-
publican, of South Dakota appealed
to the Senate yesterday to restore
cuts made by the House in Agricul-
ture Department funds for the f1s-
cal year beginning July /.
MIR. Mundt told a Senate Appro-
priations subcommittee:
Even in times like these it Is
imperative that we keep our agri-
cultural industry sturdy and solvent
1t is of paramount importance that
we increase rather than discourage
the stream Of annual new wealth
flowing through our economic sys-
tem."
Mr.. Cooley urged restoration of
funds for the disposal Of surplus
crops and for the tenant purchase
program Of the Farmers Home
Association.
He testified the House Appropri-
ations Committee had agreed to
provide s25, 900, 900 of the $35, 600, 600

pressed concern about inflated farm
prices.
Mr.. Cooley said he has been as
sured by Secretary Of Agriculture
Anderson that the President did
not desire TO wipe out the program.
Mr.. Mundt asked the full $780,

ger proposal sent you recently by
Secretary Adde's (Secretary-Treas-

Because of large anti-Reuthel
following among the farm equip

If the merger goes through, the

There was no immediate COM
ment on the telegram from the three
officers who helped push the merger
issue to an immediate vote at the
executive boards meeting in Chi

Mr.. Reuther and his supporters
claimed the merger should not have

They said the proposal "is un-

Sanatorium's Fine Offer

e. f1r. 7. G.. VESSELS letter to DIR. A. H.
82faoa, health officer, announcing that the
Wilmington Red Cross Sanatorium stands
ready to underwrite an X-ray tuberculosis
survey in New hanover county in the
amount of 81, 900 means that the work of the
Aoanty Tuberculosis Association may now
proceed with a long-cherished program.
Since the Red Cross Sanatorium, which
-wes under Doctor VESSELS direction for
many years, was closed when the Army
hook over Bluethenthal airport, and has
etiN to resume in a new plant authorized by
vote of the people, the county fight on the
disease has been losing ground.
Z The Tuberculosis Association has done
What 1t could, with Its limited means and
staf, to discover persons having the disease
n its first stages and instruct patient ana
family how best to check its progress, and
also to place as many patients in an ad-
~anced stage of the disease in the states
tuberculosis hospitals as could be accom-
snodated. 1t has been an uphill job that only
those familiar with the situation can under
stand.
Without adequate equipment and under
manned, the association has hoped that some
way would lie found, needed assistance
given, so that a thorough-going survey might
be conducted, and as a result more cases
might be arrested while incipient. The Sana-
forums proposal will implement this great
work.
With the help thus to be provided the
New Hanover county tuberculosis situation
win steadily improve.
At the same time, the discovery Of cases
Ind home treatment are but the start. For
patients requiring isolation, for their own
speedier improvement and the protection
bf the patients family, the new sanatorium
bught to be advanced from the prospective
10 the building stage. Vavencies in the state
senatoria are few and far between.
Having levied a special tax upon them
pslves, the people of New Hanover county
should have the hospital for which they have
provided at the polls.

UN Showdown

Two propositions were laid before thu
limited Nations General Assembly at III
opening session by Mr.. Warren Austin, tn'
United States permanent delegate.
One was for the establishment OF an IN
ternational police force. The other was To-
complete examination of the United Nations
Charter with the purpose of raising an Ell
fective barrier against Russias misuse OF
the veto.
When the United States consented to the
d%isbanding of the Balkan border com1nlSSlon
bv the Security Council, it did so with the
! avowed purpose of demanding that the
General Assembly create a competent police
force, which, among its other vital services
could take up where the border COMMISSION
left off.
The Star is not prepared to agree with the
limited Press declaration that this will be
"war-or-peace' session OF the General AS
semblv. but if the United States, which WILL
lead the fight for the police force, cannot
ral1v the non-Russian delegates in full
strength to it's support the way will be open
cd for further expansion of the totalltarlan
Russian empire, including Germany, France
and ultimately England in Europe and no
bodv can foretell what the final frontiers
would be in Asia.
In other words, Russia would be in a po-
sition to overrun the inhabited world as
| Genehis Kahn did in the thirteenth CEN
fury.
War is not imminent nor Is it likely to
follow the present session of the General
Assembly quickly, but world conquest is as
much the ambition of the Russians as it was
of the nazis under Hitler, and it is not ap'
parent that the powers which overthreW
Hitler could turn back the Russian tide be-
cause of their depletion IN World War II.
AS for Russia's frequent resort to the veto
MIR. Austin let it be known that the Unltec
States will not oppose revision of the Char
ter, if that is the only way to halt Russia''
interference with the efforts of the western
democracies to establish a secure peace.
There has been much talk recently to the
effect that the Charter is satisfactory a!
finally approved. To this it may be said tina
so long as Russia has the power to veto any
and all proposals not framed in Moscow
the Charter will never be satisfactory. In;
stead it will become as impotent as was the
League of Nations Covenant.

Taft Has To Talk

Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who is
prospecting in the west for pay dirt, is said
by one of the correspondents following his
trail to be Launching his crusade for the
republical presidential nomination with all
the modesty, restraint and subtlety OF a
circus calliope under a full head Of steam"
Another reporter says: "At times it al
most seems as though the Senator would
rather be misunderstood than silent"
This reporter offers circumstantial evil
dence in support of his view. Three tlmeA
he says, the Senator has gone Into fuller
explanation of his expressed views IN oroer
to change, not his original thinking, but
impressions which came from what he said"
On one occasion, it seems, Mr.. Taft said
he saw no reason to call a special session OF
Congress. When he saw this statement IN
print he explained he meant there is no do
nestle reason for calling a special session.
On another occasion he said, that the Taft
Hartley Act could not be made an issue IN
the campaign. All the time, he meant to say
the Act could not Successfully" be made
an issue in the campaign.

rising prices and increasing shortages. What
he told the scribes at a press conference was
that people ought to eat less and est less
extravagantly. But he failed to add that ne
knew some people were not getting enough
to eat, and in consequence got himself
picketed, the placards proclaiming that SEN
ator Taft's cure for high prices was let EN-
eat less"
The deduction to be drawn from this Is
that the United States would be In a oac
fix if it had a President who, because me
would rather be misunderstood than SILENT
had to put a footnote to his every pubilt
utterance in order to AVE it understood, OF
perchance, in addressing Congress, was com
PEELED to come out next day with an inter
l probation of what he meant to say.
In a letter of expostulatlon to Coke
z Francis Bacon left a bit of good advice which
Senator Taft would do we'll to take to heart
e if he really expects to be the republican
presidential nominee. Wrote Bacon:

THE COLD WAR

1t will be evident, I am sure,
to the reader who has followed
the argument to this point that
my criticism of the policy of
containment, or the so . called
Truman Doctrine, does not
spring from any hope or belief
that the Soviet pressure to. ex-
pand can be charmed or talked
out of existence" I agree en-
tirely with Mr.. X that we must
make up our minds that the So
Wet power is not amenable to
our arguments, but only "to con-
trary force" that els felt to be
too strong, and thus more ra-
tional in the logic and rhetoric
of power"
My objection, then, to the poll
cy of containment is not that it
seeks to confront the Soviet pow
er with American power, but
that the policy is misconceived,
and must result in a misuse of
American power. For as I have
sought to show, it commits this
country to a struggle which has
for its objective nothing more
substantial than the hope that in
ten or fifteen years the Soviet
power will, as the result of long
Illustration, "break up" or incl
low" In this prolonged struggle

the role of the United States is,
according to Mr.. x, to react cat
a series of constantly shifting
geographical and politica,
points" to the encroachments oil
the Soviet power.
The policy, therefore, con,
cedes to the Kremlin the strate-
gical initiative as to when
where and under what local cir,
cumstances the issue is to be
joined. It compels the United
States to meet the Soviet pres.
sure at these shifting g%eographi'

through their effectiveness is
meager and their reliability I'm
certain. By forcing us to expenc
our energies and our substance
upon these dubious and unnatu-
raj allies on the perimeter OF
the Soviet Union, the effect Of
the policy is to neglect our natu-
raj allies in the Atlantic com
munity and to ALLEVIATE them.
They are elienated also by the
fact that they do not wish to be-
come, like the nations of the
perimeter, the clients of the
United States in whose affairs
we intervene, asking as the
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-18

price of our support that they
take the directives of their own
policy from Washington. They
are alienated above all by the
prospect of war, which could
break out by design or accident,
by miscalculation or provo
cation, if at any of these con-
stantly shifting geographical
and political points the Russians
or Americans became so deeply
engaged that no retreat or COM
promise was possible. In this
war their lands would be the
b battlefield. Their peoples
would be divided by civil con-
flict. Their cities and their fields
would be the bases and the
bridgeheads in a total war
which, because it would merge
into a general civil war, would
be as indecisive as it was saw
age.
We may now ask why the Of
fetal diagnosis of Soviet con-
duct, as disclosed by Mr.. KS
article, has led to such an un-
workable policy for dealing with
Russia. It is, I believe, because
Mr.. x has neglected even to
mention the fact that the Soviet
Union is the successor Of the
Russian Empire and that Stain
is not only the heir of Marx and
of Lenin but of Peter the Great,
and the Cars of all the Rus
sias.
For reasons which I do not un-
derstand, Mr.. x decided not to
consider the men in the Kremlin
as the rulers of the Russian
state and empire, and has limit
ed his analysis to the interac-
ton of "two forces"': "the ideol-
ogy inherited by the present
Soviet leaders from the move
ment in which they had their
political origin" and the "cir-
cumstances of the power which
they have now exercised for
nearly three decades in Russia"
Thus he dwells on the indubit-
able fact that they believe in
the MARKHAM theology and that
"they have continued to be pre-
dominantly absorbed with the
struggle to secure and make alb
solute the power which they
seized in November, 1917" But
with these two observations
alone he can not, and does not,
explain the conduct of the Soviet
government in this postwar era
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-09-18

The war against cancer has
been a long and dispiriting one,
and only a handful of major VIC
tories mark its progress. But
perhaps no period in it's history
has been so encouraging as the
last few weeks. It is not yet
time to storm the enemy's
strong-points, but at least the
positions are being prepared,
and one day soon a final attack
may be in the making.
Of all the developments, per-
haps the most heartening has
been the decision to make ra-
dio-active isotopes available to
cancer researchers throughout
the world. By so simple a step
the attack has been doubled. To
American efforts will be added
those of scientists in all nations,
pursuing the common cause
against the common enemy. An
other step seems to derive, at
least in part, from that advance
- 1t has been announced that
an international cancer organi-
cation will be formed, meeting
regularly and exchanging re-
ports on progress. In this coun-
try research continues to add it's
jewels to the mosaic that will
one day reveal an entire pic
ture. One of the most promising
IS the development of the syn
thetlc extract teropin, derived
from Vitamin B, which
has shown more than modest re-
suits IN more than a hundred
clinical tests.
This inching ahead NAV seem
trifling, but it is the only nethed
