With hot weather here at last,
many people will be using portable
electric fans-table model, brack-
ct, or pedestal type-in an attempt
to feel more comfortable.
The Electrical League of Cleve-
land offers some hints for making
the most efficient use of portable
fans in homes, offices, or stores:
1. The correct distance for fan
is one foot away from you for each
inch of fan blade diameter. (See
Fig. Az For instance, a fan with
a 1O-inch blade should be 10 feet
away from you.
2. A fan facing INWARD near
an open window will draw some
air from the outdoors. (See Fig.
b.
A portable fan is really only a
"first aid treatment" A PERMAN-
ENT ventilating fan installation
will give you far more comfort.
For homes with attics, an attic
ventilating fan is recommended.
The sun, beating do1. upon the
roofs, raises attic temperatures to
as high as 130 degrees. This "hot
air blanket" in the attic makes it

The Navy BUDGET

having previously undergone two
billion-dollar meat-axe operation at the
hands of the Budget Bureau, the Navy is
not likely to relish the additional $377,-
$4,000 appropriation cut recommended by
the House Appropriations Committee.
Compared with what is happening to some
of the nonmilitary agencies, however, the
Navy has gotten off relatively easy in the
current economy drive at the Capitol.
The committee, having made up it's
mind that the Navy's budget could stand
some further cutting without harming the
national defense, must be given credit for
applying the knife where it would seem
to do the least damage from security
standpoint. Thus, while general belt
Tightening will be required in nearly every
branch, ashore and afloat, the committee
left untouched the Budget Bureaus (but
not the Navy Department's) ALLEGATIONS
for such vital activities as ship, plane and
ordnance research, the purchase and de-
velopment of aircraft and the training and
expansion of the Naval Reserve.
In granting the full $34400,0O0 recon-
mended by the Budget Bureau for naval
research, the committee said it preferred
to "err, If at all, on the side of liberality
in research items, in order that the United
States may keep abreast of, or in front
of, all developments of scientific nature"
At the same time there is merit in the
committees feeling that extensive ship
construction should be held in check
pending the building and testing of ex-
perimental prototypes designed to meet
the revolutionary developments of the
atomic-electronic era.
This does not mean, however, that while
we are feeling our way through a transi-
tional period of warfare we can afford to
dispense entirely with conventional
weapons And the committee has seen to
it that the total of it's cuts to the Navy's
budget remains inside the economy danger
line described by Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal. He had warned that a re-
duction of as much as $500, 100000 in the
budget would seriously cripple what little
active fleet we now have.
- Those in Congress who might be dis
posed to go further than the House COM
mittee has ventured in trimming Navy
funds should be reminded Of the assertions
of Admiral Nimitz and other defense ex-
perts that push-button warfare is still
long way off and that in the meantime
it is only prudent to maintain existing
weapons at reasonably safe degree of
efficiency. 1t is proper, therefore that
Congress should go sloW-as the House
committee has done-in effecting econ
omies that our defense authorities say may
weaken rather than strengthen, the

The message was from Washington 1t

The cable from Gen. Marshall had originated
with Robert Murphy, then in Algiers as coun-
sellor of Embassy on special missions to French
Africa and principal figure in the on-the-spot
political maneuvers of Torch-code name

The cable said Gen. Mast then French
commander in Algeria and our highest and

Gen. Eisenhower handed me the whole Job.
The organization of the trip itself, selectlon

reason that we had really come to dread the

to which the tireless and keen mind OF Mr.
Churchill invariably subjected us. But, for
tunately, we knew he would be at Chequers
now that we needed him in hurry.
I got on the secret phone to Chequers and
was answered by Gen. Sir Hastings 1smay, the
Prime Minister'S military aide. Pug, I've
got something hot here!" I said "How hot?"
Ismay questioned. 'Too hot to talk about on
the phone" wait a minute while tell the
Prime Minister" he said
Then Churchill came on. Pug tells me you
have something hot. What it is?' he asked.
"This is secret phone" I handed my instru-
ment to Ike 1--WE can't talk about 1t here"
Ike replied. "It's much too important for that"
VERY WELL" said Mr.. Churchill. Come on

"We haven't got time" said Ike.
"All right" said the Prime Minister little
formally, sis it sufficiently important for me

Seasonal Nonsense

I'm the spring, when the fancy OF young
men is said to turn to thoughts of love,
there will be few to envy the lot of men
like Carroll Reece, chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee. For Mr.. Reece,
whatever his personal inclinations, must
bow to the stern call of duty and think,
not of love, but of politics.
Evidently this does something to man.
His thought processes apparently become
warped somewhere along the line. He
loses the ability to think clearly and
arrive at logical conclusions In fact,
whether it be attributable to the season
or to something else, he seems to stray off
into flights of fancy with respect to politics
that are very similar to the flights of fancy
that bedevil young man who has fallen
in love.
If there are those who doubt this, what
other reason can be put forward to explain
Mr.. Reece's latest attack on the Truman
administration? Here is man, hard
ened veteran of the political ring, who
would have us believe that Mr.. Truman,
who is no novice in that field himself,
plans to seek reelection on platform of
higher prices. The theory of this seems
to be that Mr. Truman will bid for votes
by gouging the people and blaming the
Republicans.
1t is comforting to have Mr.. Reece's
assurance that "it is inconceivable that
the voters will be fooled" He is talking,
of course, about the plot that he sees
building up in the Truman mind. He
nojoht have hroadened his statement
however, to say that it is inconceivable
that the voters will be fooled by any of
this seasonal nonsense.

Bruzi! and Communism

In outlawing the Brazilian Communist
party by vote of 3 to 2 the Supreme Elec-
torsl Tribunal-which regulates elections
and political activities in Brazil-has ex-
pressed some misgivings over its own act.
Even the judges in the majority have de-
clared that the decision may run counter
to democratic principles, but they have
justified it on the ground that the out
lawed organization has owed its allegiance
to a foreign country and followed the
dictates of that country.
With membership of 100000, the Bra
lillian Communist Party has been the big
gest of all Communist organizations in the
Western Hemisphere. 1t has been faith
full and highly active promoter of the
Moscow line. Indeed, as regards the United
States, it has been much less restrained
name caller than its parent body in Rus
sia The burden of its abuse for months
past has been that we are "gangster"
nation using Brazil as tool. Its activities
In general have placed such strain on
tolerance that the decision against 1t very
