Wants Sons Body Returned Home

To the Editor OF The Star:
Reading your article in Wednesdays paper
regarding the return of the war dead and that
of the day before wherein President Truman
said he thought that many who could go over
seas and see their sons graves would prefer
them to remain in foreign cemeteries.
Now President Truman was a combat officer
in World War and he knows that practically
every graveyard in Northern France, military
or private, was overrun trampled upon, and
that the tombstones, ETC.. suffered much from
artillery fire. France will be again, she
always has been, another battle ground with
like results.
r have been waiting anxiously for letter
from the War Department in reference to the
remains of my son. who died in the African
campaign, April. 1943. I was notified three
weeks after his death by the War Department
I did not and could not get any additional
Information, until I read in The Star July 8,
1943 where divisional parade had been held
July 4, 1943, in honor of my late son. with
awards
My son first was buried in an American
English cemetery in Tunisia by an English
chaplain who wrote me regarding same. IL
also received two form letters from the Amer
lean divisional and the American regimental
chaplains. Immediately replied asking for
additional information. they having written in
generalties, to which never received any
answer. However the English chaplain.
Methodist, did write in full detail.
My late sons remains were eventually re-
moved from Tunisia and placed in cemetery
8 miles from Tebessa, Province of Con-
stantine Algeria. There are several thousand
there in Algeria. wrote the "Commandant
of the American Cemetery" Tebessa. Algeria.

the past 4th OF July. assumed OF course,
that Americans either civilians or soldiers were
in charge Of same The answer / received was
in detail but In French and French oficer
of the Algerian forces Is In charge.
I wrote the War Department In reference
to return OF the remains and was given the
usual War Department run around" even
asked If I could meet the boat, wherever it
docked, that would bring the remains The
answer was definite NO"
The last letter I received from the War
Department was quite acid as compared to the
form letters of coincidence received originally
when our sors were dying on the battle fields

hasn't. and Z want my sons remains returned.

committees for papers: "Of course, they've
been permitted to have anything they ask for"
The Pearl Harhor Investigating Committee
obtained some of Mr.. Roosevelts papers and
some have been sent to Senator Brewsters
committee from the Roosevelt library at Hyde
Park
Miss Tully added however, that Basil O'Con-
nor, one of the executors of MIR. Roosevelts
estate, has insisted that requests for Roosevelt
papers should be made through the President.
President Truman, In turn, has said he would
ask for the release of any specific papers, but
would make no request for anything like q
Wholesale search.
Insofar as the question of the Roosevelt
papers affects the relations between Congress
and the executive, it is to be expected that Mr..
Truman will act to uphold the rights of the
executive:
Mr.. Taft, in stating that a President takes
his files with him on leaving Office, remarked
but not critically: THUS there is lost to public
record some of the most interesting documents
of governmental origin bearing on the history
of an administration"
He went on to say that what occurred here
was something like what Charles Francis
Adams, Minister to Great Britain during the
Civil War, had told him about the British
Foreign Office. He related this as follows:
'It has long been the custom for the i'm
portant Ambassador of Great Britain to carry
on personal correspondence with the Secretary
Of State for Foreign Affairs, which Is not put
upon the files of the department but which
gives much more accurate and detailed ac-
count of the diplomatic relations of Great
Britain than the official flies

at this is through the good Offices of families

retaries in whose private files they may be

Advocates Surrendering Sovereignt

Advocates Surrendering Sovereignty
To the Editor Of The Star:
There were a couple of interesting subjects
in your May 20 edition. First, the OAR voted
to go on record as favoring the u N. but not
a world government. Second, one Of your ed
itorials spoke of the possibility that another
war may eliminate two-thirds or more of man.
kind.
One may assume that the OAR wishes to
have peace-lasting peace, not the kind We
have now. But they reject the only means pos
sible to secure peace. How do they expect peace
to come if there is not some organization big
enough to hold national states in line?
Why do we not have war among the States
Of this country? 1t is not because conflicts do
not arise; 1t is because sovereignty has been
surrendered to a superstate (its Capital is
Washington, D. c. and peace has been secured.
When disputes arise between States, as they
often do, they are settled by law without resort
to war.
However, the OAR does not wish to surrender
national sovereignty to world government;
they seem to think sovereign nations can work
in harmony. This is true to limited extent.
For instance, the United States and Canada
seem to be able to exist in peace But If any
dispute should arise between these two nations,
then our beautiful friendship would be de-
stroyed. Sovereign nations do not settle mat
tiers they consider vital to their national inter-
ests by law.
War does seem to be approaching-war
that can kill two-thirds of mankind The only
way 1t can be prevented is by the surrendering
of portion of the various national sovereign
ties to a world government. G. B.

ECONOMIC HIGH

In theory. the conferences of
governors, whose 1947 meeting was
recently held at Salt Lake City. are
non-political. The formal agenda
is loaded with matters which are
of common concern to all the states.
and are without partisan coloring.
In practice, however, particularly
in years preceding presidential
election. the conferences are used
to build fences and to advance cam
didacies. That happened this time.
On the Democratic side, there was
no argument among the governors.
Truman will get the nomination on
the first ballot unless the unlikely
occurs and he refuses to run.
On the Republican side, the gov
errors seemed divided between Taft
and Dewey-with Dewey holding
the edge But, the reporters say,
he did not pick up any new streng-
tn, and the Taft supporters are in
volved in an about drive to stop
him.
Taft's chances may largely de-
pend on how well the new labor
bill works. It was his creation,
and he steered it through. Dewey
has kept very quiet on this red-hot
piece of Legislation so far.

Moderate Leftisfs Win
Lead in Both Houses
OF Jap Parliament
~ ,he Assoeioied Press

TOKYO, April 26.-Japan's Social
Democrats surprised themselves to-
day by winning lab seats in the
House of Representatives, giving
them pluralities In both houses of
the new Diet.
The party, moderately leftist, Is
outnumbered by a conservative Goa
lition, but its leaders took the re-
turns from Fridays election as a
mandate for tighter economic con-
trolls to combat the country's prob
lens.
They also saw an improved
chance for their chairman, patient,
soft spoken, SO year old Tetsu
Katayama, to demand the premier
ship.
Complete unofficial returns gave
the Liberals l31 seats, Democrats
123, Co-operatives 81, Communists 4,
minority parties 81, and independ-
ents 13.
Voter Dissatisfaction Seen.
The Liberals and Democrats, both
conservative and now in control
of coalition cabinet, thus still
have a majority together, but their
failure individually to outrun the
Social Democrats was taken gen.
orally as an expression of voter
dissatisfaction with past policies.
The Social Democrats have been
the governments main critics and
have refused twice to join a coali-
tion unless they could have the
premiership.
The present premier, Shigeru Yo-
'shida, and II of his cabinet all easily
won election to the new house and
will be eligible for reappointment.
Make up Of the new administration
will depend on organization of the
new house when it meets in mid
May.
Controlled by Moderate Wing.
The Social Democrats, who had
predicted they would run second to
the liberals, are themselves sharply
divided but are controlled by their
moderate wing. They insist on So
cialization of such industries as steel
and coal and the nations banks.
The Communists, who had six
seats in the old house, fell to four.
They had expected to win about Is.
Japanese observers rated the defeat
OF Yoshio Shinga, Osaka Communist
leader and editor of the party paper
Akahata (Red Flag as the most
surprising single upset of the elec-
ton.
Women also suffered at the polls.
