The Pan American Union offered
surcease from the heat of the day
for a large audience when 1t staged
another of its outdoor concerts last
night in the beautiful Aztec Gardens.
In this little corner, closed by trees
and hedges from the busy street life,
there are green lawns bordering the
lily pool and the scent of earth and
grass. The calmness of the night
made a mirror of the pool wherein
was reflected the Navy Band assem-
bled on the Esplanade under the di-
rection of 1t. Comdr. Charles
Rrendler. The program Of Latin
American music they played was
carried across the stretch Of quiet
by clear amplification.
Assisting the band by appearing
In three groups Of numbers was the
Chilean tenor. Alvaro 6olani, who
sang to the piano accompaniment OF
Ramon Gonzalez. He confined his
choice of numbers to popular and
melodic songs of Mexico, Cuba,
Chile, Argentina and Spain. but
there were several moments when
he disclosed capabilities that could
be employed in a wider field than
that needed for the songs. Notable
among these were Maria Grever's
"Yo no Sc" and Agustin Lara's
"Granada," where his voice took on
dramatic timbre and his interpreta-
ton a bigger line. His fine tenor
voice Is susceptible to emotional ex-
preston and all of his numbers were
sung with great warmth Of feeling.
He opened his part of the pro-
sram with the lovely "Ay, Ay, Ay."
by his compatriot- Osman
Perez Freire, achieving much the
same moving effect as did the Span
Ism tenor, Miguel Fleta, in his de-
livery of it. The rather sentimental
character OF the other songs was
nonetheiess appealing In the mSnner
In which Mr.. Solani sang them. The
melting quality in his tones and his
personal responsiveness sent their
romantic content clearly over to the
listeners. If these were not songs
for o concert hall, they fitted In well
with the dreamy charm Of the sur
rolndings and Mr.. Solani's skilled
and fervent presentation created an
immediate responsiveness from the
audience.
The performance by the Navy
Band was of superior quality. The
group is 80 excellently welded to-
7ether that its tone holds all mu-
sical colors without q predominance
Of one set of instruments over the
others. Comdr. Brendler has made
his organization outstanding by

The house small business commit
tee charges of communism and So
cialism against farmer coopera-
tives backfired as a political BOOM
erang.
The splendid report of the
Presidents committee on civil
rights, which came at a most
Opportune time, charged that
the inalienable rights of Ameri-
can citizens were being tram
pied underfoot and cited in
stance after instance of viola
tons of basic rights under the
constitution, particularly here in
Washington.
The house un-American affairs
committee has given another fla
grant demonstration of intolerance
and smear in branding men and
women Communists without a
chance at defense or cross-exami-
nation. Even if these people are real
Communists and, as such, guilty of
treason, the constitution of our de-
mocracy gives them the right to de-
tense and trial in open court.
Now the committee announces its
next inquisition will be against the
teachers in our schools.
Even Senator Taft Of Ohio
has not escaped the tendency to
smear, for he was branded a
Communist by Herbert u. Mel
son, executive vice president Of
the National Association of Real
Estate boards. His sin was to
introduce housing bill which
the real estate board said is
communistic.
Eric Johnston, one of the out
standing thinkers in this country
and former president of the U. S.
chamber of commerce, was treated
like a police court character by this
congressional committee when he
said:
Senator Taft is not going to wor-
ry about being called a Communist.
But not every American is Sena-
tor Taft who can ignore such an &C.
cusation. Most of us in America are
just little people and loose charges
can hurt little people. When just
one man is falsely damned as a
Communist in an hour like this
when the red issue is at white heat,
no one of us is safe"

Vets Still Fighting

Veterans organizations are pre-
pairing to fight anew in the next
regular session for new legislation
on everything from a bonus to tech
nical amendments to pension laws.
The senate appropriations commit
tee made tabulation showing that
requests for veterans Legislation al
ready pending and carried over
from the first session of the Both
congress would, if granted, cost 40
billion dollars.
A substitute for all these requests,
backed by 10 senator's and 6 house
members, is bill calling for vet
erars' economic development cor
porstion which would be capitalized
at soc million dollars through a gov.
ernnnent bond issue. It is intended
to do for the veteran what the RFC
has Gone for business.

EVEN as the Freedom

cratic heritage, is touring the
country, even as congress
opens its special session to give aid
and succor to needy in foreign lands
and even as we fight in the United
Nations for democratic ideals and
democratic governments in other
nations, evidences of intolerance
and a breakdown Of democracy's
processes here in the capital Of the
worlds greatest democracy indicate
that it's time to give serious thought
to the danger of thoughtless smear
and gossip and the inquisitorial
methods of governmental commit
tee investigations.
The Howard Hughes inquisition by
the senate war investigating COM
mittee was farce and a travesty.

Labor Battles SoIons

Although the 16 million members
of organized labor unions are out
to beat members of congress who
voted to override the veto on the
Taft-Hartley labor law, these votes
are so unevenly distributed geo.
graphically that organized labor has
little strength in the districts of
most of the congressman involved.
Labor has a reasonable chance of
defeating about one-fifth Of the 33l
house members and the % senators
who voted to override the veto.

A poll of World War II veter-
ans made by the Army Times,
the GIL. weekly, indicates that
about II per cent of the ex-sol-
diers would vote for General
Eisenhower for President if he
were nominated by either major
party. Their next popular choice
was President Truman.

TRUMAN BID
 GETS SUPPORT IN CONGRESS
American Help for Greece, Turkey Against Con-
 munism Finds Favor
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, March 14.--tR- President Truman's bid for Ameri- can help for Greece and Turkey gained much momentum in Con- gress today that opposition seemed likely to be confined to only rear guard action aimed at narrowing the terms.
 Senator Aiken (R-Vt, who has yet to make up his mind on pitting oirect financial and limited mili- taiy assistance against Communist pressures in the Mediterranean area, summed up the situation to a reporter this way:
 Tt looks like there isn't much Congress can do but go along with the President in this crisis
 Similarly, Senator ally CTex), top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, predicted that MT. Truman's proposal will pass both Houses by large majority" {"
 As Senate Republicans gathered in Party conference to hear s Senator Vandenberg, (R-Mich) Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, report on President Iruman's personal appeal to Con- gress Wednesday, there was evil dence that the Aiken and Vonnally views were shared by some Repub- lican leaders.
 One of these, who asked not to be quoted by name, noted that the President has wide latitude in the field of foreign relations and that his publicly announced commitment to go into Greece and Turkey could be reversed by Congress only if it chose to withhold funds.

SENATE VOTES
 APPROVAL FOR
 INSURANCE ACT
Free Conference Commit tees Named 10 Iron Out
 Four Disputed Bills

Only one measure was acted up- on at this mornings Alaska Sen ate meeting: H. B. 4, Rep. Mau- rice Johnsons bill to regulate the insurance business It was pass ed by the Senate, Is to l, after an amendment agreed upon by insur- ance men. Voting nay" was Sen- ator Don Carlos Brownell. Attorney R. E. Roberson explain ed the purpose of the bill, which he said was drafted from uniform legislation: The Combined, All Industry Bill" framed by top legal and insurance authorities of the country. Passage of such an act has been made necessary, he said because of three recent Supreme Court decisions declaring the in- surance business to be interstate commerce, reversing a view held by the top court through 75 years. Congress has declared a moratorium" on effectiveness of those Supreme Court decisions un- til January l, 1948, when, if no Alaska act has been passed, writ ing of insurance risks in the Ter ritory will be severely restricted by subjection to three acts Of Congress.
 Former Senctcr ar3 insurance man Allen Shattuck agreed with Robertson's statements.
 Senate President Andrew Ner- land this morning appointed four committees on conference with powers of free conference to meet with like House groups on four measures, amendments to which are in dispute between the two bodies. Named for the Sem ate were:
 On s. B. 29-to liberalize re- quirement for admission to prac- tice law-Senators Collins, Jones and Rogge.
 On s. B. 35-To exempt in- corporated cities, school districts and public utility districts from payment of the Veterans Tax and specifying additional types of transactions subject to it-Senators Cochran, Dawes and Rivers.
 On s. B. 57-to require deposit to cover jury costs for actions in Commissioners Courts Senators Coffey, Munz and Peratrovich.
 On s. B. 17-to remove the Governor from the Board of Ad- ministration and replace him with the Labor Commissioner-Senators Engebreth, Scott and Green.
 The Senate recessed early this morning untilt2 o'clock this af- ternoon, to permit committees to bring out bills for today's cal endar.

 WAR CHIEFS
By EDWIN B. PARKINSON

WASHINGTON, March 14.-lR- President Truman overruled his top military manpower experts in ad- vising Congress to let the wartime draft act expire at the end of this month.
 This became known today after Chairman Gurney (R-SD) made available to a reporter the trans oript of a closed door session of the Senate Armed Services Com mittee
 Gurney previously reported a committee decision to urge a delay of at least three months in the transfer of draft records from local boards to state capitals because of the troubled world situation.
 The recorded testimony of Tues days committee meeting disclosed that both Maj. Gen. w. s. Paul, Army Chief of Personnel, and Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service Director, conceded under questioning that they had recom- mended continuance of the draft even though there have been no induction calls since October.

 Blunt Talk
 Al Moscow
Tells Conference American Definition of Demo-
 cratic Society
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

MOSCOW, March l4-tR-S Secre- tary Marshall bluntly told the con- ference of Foreign Ministers today that the United States does not consider a society democratic if men who respect the rights of their fellow men are not free to ex- press their own beliefs and convic- tions without fear that they may be snatched away from their home and family"
 Marshall was speaking on the need for characterization of Ger many but his comment, coming on top of President Truman's declara- tions against totalitarianism in Greece, heavily stressed the Ameri- can stand for other parts of the world.
 ITO us" said the American Sec retary, "a society is not free if law abiding citizens live in fear of being denied the right to work, or of being deprived Of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
 Marshall also told the council:
 Eighty of TIT war production plants in the American zone of Germany are 100 percent liquidat- ed.
 2.-The United States now holds only 15,103 Nazi prisoners of war, mostly in Italy, while 15,873 more ire rapidly being discharged in the American zone of Germany.
 Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov announced that figures on prisoners of war held by the Russians would be circulated among the delegations tonight.
 The Foreign Ministers agreed to take up tomorrow the thorny ques- tion of displaced persons and terri torial reorganization of Germany.

The W ashington Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Ed. NOte-This is the sec end of Drew PearsOn's columns on the background problems faced by Secretary of State Marshall in Moscow.

WASHINGTON-It goes without saying that the most important in gredient to a successful conference ill Moscow is Russia's desire to get along with the United States. Regarding this there are varying Iichools of thought. One school that of Soviet satellite diplomats whose views were presented in an earlier column-is that there is a cleavage of opinion inside the Kremlin regarding lasting friend ship with the United States.
 This may well be true. However, the view of this columnist, who has watched Soviet-USA affairs over a period of many years, is that the IA members of the Politburo, despite some differences of opinion, have never lost sight of their main goal.
 That goal is not war Russia is not prepared for war, doesn't want war, won't be able to fight a war for five or ten years. Furthermore, her leaders don't think war is nec- essary.
 The main Soviet goal is some- thing else. To understand it, let's take a detailed look at Russian

GOVERNOR REPLIES

The Governor of Alaska has re- fused to act upon Senator Norman Walkers tender of resignation, de- claring he has no authority to act on the matter. The Governors re- ply to Walkers letter of resigna- tion reads:
 March IA, 1947 Hon. Norman R. Walker Alaska Territorial Legislature Juneau, Alaska
 Dear Senator Walker.
 I have your letter of this date rendering your resignation from the Senate to be effective after consideration of the Tax Revenue bills introduced by Senator Rivers" and yourself
 It seems apparent that the con- sideration of the Tax Revenue bills will take most of the time that there is between today and the close of the session on the 27th. and that therefore your resignation would actually not take effect until the conclusion of the session. Moreover, I know of no legal au- thority that gives me the right to accept or reject a resignation of a member of the legislature.
 Sincerely yours,
