row, Congress is considering legis.
lation to make permanent place
for it. A pending bill limits WAC
enrolment to 2 per cent of the Reg

about 1000 will be carried at first
The bill limits them to about 15(

When I watched the tough train

not many people thought much

vide Greece and Turkey.
In GreeceS case, the $500, ,000, ,00c
which she obtains under the bill
must be regarded more as grant
than as a loan, and Is just drop
in the bucket so far as economic
Irehabilitati is concerned. Greece,
which was poor before the war,
was SO thoroughly devastated by
the Germans and later ravaged by
civil strife that it would take at
| least 10 time $500 600 900 to put her
back on her feet economically.
Sum May be insufficient.
It is questionable whether the
money will be sufficient for even
her military needs. If the prole-
tartan divisions under the command
of Gen. Macy in Macedonia were to
desist from their guerrilla warfare
on the northern border, it Is prob
able that the sum would be ade-
luate. But If these forces begin a
major offensive this summer, the
Greek army will need. more war ma
terial, equipment and supplies OF
all kinds to keep the royal army

provides.

Dewey's influence In Congress Seen
In Drastic Cut of USES Appropriation

On the surface these facts do not
necessarily support the idea that
Mr.. Dewey is trying to run Capitol
Hill in Washington yet. But q
view backstage gives different i'm
preston.
First, there are the continued at
tacks OF Milton O. Loysen, Mr..
Dewey's director OF the New York
State Division of Placement and I'm
employment Insurance, on the
USES.
Second, there is the fact that a
resolution that was led through the
New York State Legislature on the
last night of the session, after the
clock had been stopped, contained
an attack on USES in language sus-
piciously similar to that to which
Mr.. Loysen has been giving express
sion these many months. Since no
one has ever attempted to deny
that Mr. Dewey runs the New York
State Legislature with an iron hand,
it is clear that his legislative leaders
would not have permitted this reso-
luton to pass unless he had wanted
| 1t to-.
Cat Prevents Supervision.
Third, this resolution declared
that the "State is entirely able and
ready to manage its own af-
fairs without Federal supervision. y
(Meaning that New York can get
along without Federal supervision
until Mr.. Dewey realizes his am
bition to get Federal supervision into
his own iron hand as President.)
The cut in the USES budget man.
ages to do that very thing by in
direction, for, obviously, there can
be no supervision unless there are
funds to employ supervisors.
Nor are these the only black and
blue spots where the choking fingers
of the Dewey hand are to be found
on the throat of the USES. When
the appropriation for this service
was under consideration in the
House, both Speaker Martin and
Floor Leader Halleck told Republi-
cans that If they did not vote for
a cut in the USES budget, 1t would
mean their political careers. Mr..
Martin was for Mr.. Dewey all of
the way in 1914 and Mr.. Halleck
was the choice of Mr.. Dewey for the
floor leadership of the House.
Another fingerprint Of the Dewey
hand is found in the actions of
Senator Ives. Early in the fight over
the USES appropriation, his office
let it be known that there was not
a chance of the cut being restored.
From this recital it would appear
that Gov. Dewey is not quite the
bleeding heart in the garden of Ia
Dor that his speeches would lead
one to believe. 1t Is also clear that
Gov. Dewey's avowed purpose OF
sticking to his knitting In Albany
is not to fashion an afghan for the
State of New York. Rather, he is
weaving a web of an entirely differ
ent design and purpose.

support to the view that Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey is doing more
than merely observing the Washing
ton scene from Albany was the
defeat by one vote in the Senate
of an important amendment offered
by Senator Taft to the pending ON
nibus labor bill. The amendment
lost by one vote. Senator Ives,
hand picked by Gov. Dewey to be
the Junior Senator from New York,
voted against the. Taft amendment
as he had opposed it when the labor
committee was considering the bill
originally.
Additional evidence of remote
Dewey control relates to the United
States Employment Service. The
USES, after a full and fair hearing
before the House Appropriations
Committee headed by Representa-
tive Taber, also from Mr.. Dewey's
New York, was bushwacked In ex-
ecutive session. It's request fol
funds was cut n per cent. Instead
/ of getting the $3,912,000 that II
asked for, the USES was given $780,
600 by the House. If this had been
sustained by the Senate, the agency
would have had to dismiss nearly
TOO OF its 875 employees.
Funds Cut 42 Per Cent.
The Senate increased the House
dole by $1,346,0O0 making a total
of $2,246,00 But even this repre-.
sents cut of AZ per cent, which Is
crippling. In due course this bill
will go to conference. Considering
the bull-in-a-C China shop attitude o1
the "economizers" OF the House
| it is scarcely to be expected that il
will agree to the appropriation sug-
gested by the Senate.
In any event, the USES will be
able to do little more than thu
bookkeeping necessary to keep ths
accounts of the States straight
Probably its work in co-ordinatins
the job-f1nding programs of the
States and the various agencies, al
well as many other services to botf
employers and employees, win have
to be dropped.

under arms because Of strong Rus
sian concentrations on the Eastern
and western frontiers
The Turks, thus. are not In the
same desperate situation as the
Greeks. But while Turkey has :
population only one-seyenth that Of
the United States, she must keer
mobilized an army roughly equal te
that Of this country. Any attempt
at large scale demobi bilization is re-
garced by the general staff as .
possible invitation to aggression.
The Turkish army has yexy little
in the way OF defensive war ma
teyials Its chances Of Withstandine
Soviet aggression would be very
limited unless 1t could obtain anti
aircraft artillery and modern fighter
and bomber planes.
Cities Could Easily Be Razed.
Ankara and otfler principal CEN
ters Of communication could be
wiped out within a. few hours with
out the Turks putting up more than
a token resistance to Red aviation
Unlike the Greeks, the Turks can
feed and clothe their military per-
sonnel. They have some small arms
factories which can provide fight
ing men with guns and ammunition
Turkish plants can also provide
suficient heavier ordnance for a
temporary resistance, until the U. N
could intervene. But Turkey does
need planes and antiaircraft artil-
lery and American instructors and
technicians.
The significance of the American
grant of aid lies, therefore, more IN
the fact-as President Truman has
shown Congressional leaders--that
America is serving notice of her
preparedness to support any nation
which is willing to defend its
sovereignty and territorial integrity
against aggression.
This is considered, at very least
q heavy shot in the arm for the
strategically located countries In
the Middle East. 1t increases
Greece's potential for resisting mill
tary onslaughts on her border. And
it strengthens the Turks in their
refusal to be cowed by Russia, whose
pressure has greatly increased in
the last 10 months.
If the tragedy of another conflict
comes to pass, aid to Greece and
Turkey assures the United States OF
an immediate first line of defense

he was joined by Richard Galphin

It will not be long now before

moving down to Los Angeles June
4-8.
Last year the fasteners were
able to capture only one major
championship, the national mixed
pairs, won by Mrs. Paula Bacher
of East Orange, N. j., and Harry
j. Fishbein of New York. l would
like to predict that the fasteners
will come away with more titles
this year, but we can expect to
find good bridge played out there.
Today's hand was played by
Mrs. Maureen Bailey. M Of Cali
fornia's outstanding women play.
ers. West would have been much
better off it he had not signaled
to show his partner that he held
the king of diamonds, because
Mrs. Bailey, who never misses a
trick, took full advantage Of it.
East won the first club trick and
continued with the ace of clubs,
On which West played the eight of
diamonds, telling his partner that
he held something good in that
suit.
East continued with a club, West
ruffed and returned a spade. Mrs.
Bailey (South) won and pro-
ceeded to run all Of her trumps.
On the second to last trump West
dropped the four of diamonds to
complete his diamond echo. but on
the last trump he found himself
squeezed. If he let go a heart, all
Of dummy's hearts would be good,
SO he drew the five of diamonds,
banking down to the king.
Mrs. Bailey then played a heart
and cashed dummy's ace, king
and queen of hearts, then led a
diamond. Without batting an eye,
she went right up with her ace.
Had not West said, II hold the
king of diamonds? 1t was not
hard for Mrs. Bailey to count out
that at the present moment it was
blank.
