Now that television sets
are becoming more plentiful,
the boxing game and many
other sports are going to
"take it on the chin" That
is, from the promoters view,
the gate receipts will be
dropped to a minimum.
Soon it will not be neces-
sary for a fight fan to travel
a long distance and 60 to
quite an expense to see a big
ring attraction. He will be
able to entertain some friends
right in his own home and
watch the boxing match on
his television set, or he can
90 down to the corner tavern
and see the fight show while
he imbibes in a few beers.
Yes sir, television is going to
deal a knockout blow to the
fight promoters.
In order that one or more
of your young acquaintance
will not grow up without tast-
ing the joys of fishing, why
not have the fun of taking at
least one boy out often
enough to teach him the ru-
diments of fishing and good
sportsmanship? The lads
will remember fishing excur-
sions for many years to
come.

Palestine
Academic Date

There was no apparent lessening of
tension in the Holy Land where the
British between 100000 Jews and
100000 Arabs sought a solution of
the Palestine problem. A new Lon
don conference, scheduled for Janu-
ary IA, seemed foredoomed to failure
like its predecessor last September
which was boycotted by both the Jews
and Arabs of Palestine.
The World Zionist Congress, repre-
senting 100000 members in 81 coun-
tries, voted at Basle, Switzerland, not
to participate in the parley. Palestine
A"abS indicated earlier they had no
intention Of attending
British hopes seemed pinned on
Jewish and Arab acceptance of a plan
to partition Palestine into Arab and
Jewish spheres. This proposal has
drawn united opposition from the
Arabs.
In turning Gown participation in the
London talks, the Zionist Congress
rejected the advice of DR.. Chain
Weizmann, 73, Jewish leader for 80
years He advocated working with
England in the eventual hope of OBJ
tanning a Jewish state but delegates
voted not to attend unless Britain
guaranteed the principal of independ-
ence for Palestine.

EDUCATION: A Bumper Crop
Red Apples for Teacher

In st. Paul, Mimi, the nations
longest strike by school teachers end
ed after 33 days of picketing when the
city council granted increased salaries
and better working conditions. The
city's II grade and high schools will
reopen Monday.
The city's 36,578 students will have
to pay for their unscheduled vacation,
however, by going to class through
the normal Easter vacation and con-
tnuing class later than usual in June.
Meanwhile the 9th annual survey
of American colleges and universities
shows a record of 1,7l8,862 enrolled
students at 668 universities and four
year colleges throughout the nation.
Of these 714477 are war veterans.
In addition, Dr.. Raymond Walters,
poll director, received reports of $780,
900 students, including 100000 veter-
ans, enrolled in $50 junior colleges
and other thousands in institutions
not on the accredited list
DR.. Walters said that in the face of
unprecedented competition for admlS-
sion to college and universities, Wom-
en- applicants have had a square deal.
The u S. Office of Education esti-
mates, he said, that the 660,500 wom-

HIS 1o47 MODEL

a N independent political move

into a national third party was
born in New York with the for
nation of "The Progressive Citi-

vice president and ex-Secretary of
Commerce.
The new group is fused from the
National Citizens Political Action
Committee, the Independent Citizens
Committee of the Arts. Sciences and
Professions and eight smaller groups
of similar political views.
Wallace, now editor of The NelU Re-
public, was not elected TO any office
but made the final address at the two
day convention attended by 300 dele
gates from 81 states
Wallace said that major parties had
made it difficult by legislation for a
third party TO get on the ballot but
declared that rs percent of the Ameri-

ME War Department IS train
L ing its sights on an old objec-
tive, universal military training.
The Army is renewing its cam
paign by revising slightly for the
new Republican Congress it's pro-
posals which the old 18th Congress
found too hot to handle and left in
committee.
Before the last session, the War De-
partment called for a solid year OF
military training for the country's
youth. Now it wants only six months
of continuous training, with :. second
six months tC be made up in part
time activity with such organizations
as the National Guard and the Re-
serve Officers Corps
Like a willy old campaigner, the
Army is trying new tactics. 1t gathers
all the arguments for national de-
fense and preparedness and, in addl-
ton, it has answers for many of the
old objections to compulsory military
training.
Preparedness Is Key
A new pamphlet, prepared by the
War Department Public Relations Bu-
reau, stresses that Hitler miscalcu-
lated and lost, but that he had trained
thousands of experts in modern war
who now are seeking employment.
1t blueprints the technique of over
running buffer states to create slave
labor and military force. This tactic,
adopted in the early stages of war,
enables the aggressor nation to pre-
serve its own industrial strength,
manpower and will to fight.
In discussing objections to military
training, the War Department says on
cost that the expenses of only three
days of World War II would pay for
a year of military training.
1t minimizes the interruption to a
youths education by reporting that
the experience of World War II shows
that service whetted the desire of vet
Grams for further schooling.
The War Department sees no un-
favorable effect on morals, asking
whether any of the 100000 men
who had been in the Army were any
worse tnan lnOSe VINO stayed AT HOllle.
Atom No Cure all
The pamphlet rejects the atom
bomb as a cure-all, although not min
imizing it as weapon.
To those who would delay military
training, the War Department says it
would take five years of universal
youth training to build reserve pool
adequate for national safety. 1t
argues that the training period would
programs and that the American vet
GRAMS dislike for war is the best reply
to charges of militariSm.
The Army maintains that the
United Nations is still in organiza-
ticnal stages, needing strong major
powers to back it up and that the
best guarantee of successful U.N
is a strong United States"

To Veto or Not to Veto

The controversial and crucial prob
lem of the atom rose higher but ap-
parently no nearer solution in the
councils of the United Nations. The
United States declared it would not
surrender the secrets of the A-bOmb
until the U.N ruled out the veto on
punishment of violators. Russia re-
fused to surrender its right of veto.
The UN. Atomic Energy Commits
sion, after wrestling with the prob
lem finally handed up to the Security
Council the American plan for atomic
control, with its provision Wlpln9 out
the veto. 1t won 10 commission votes,
Russia and Poland abstaining.
Although he remained silent on
rollcall, Russian delegate Andrei A.
Gromyko left no doubt as to where he
stood. Just before the roll was called,
Gromyko, newly appointed as Soviet
deputy foreign commissar, rose to
speak in English, rare thing for him.
Russia, he said, fatty rejected the
American plan. He declared its pro-
posal for waving the veto actually
was a revision Of the U.N. charter.
Immediately after his speech, U. S.
delegate Bernard M. Baruch formally
moved that the American plan be
adopted and forwarded to the Secur-
ity Council. The vote then was taken.
On the commission, Mr.. GromykO
had only the vote of a delegate, one
among IL. On the Security Council, he
has an overriding veto with the power
of defeating the entire project What
he would do depended on instructions

The November elections, of course,
were a formality in one-party Geor-
gia but death claimed Governor-elect
Eugene Talmadge on December 81,
three weeks before he was to be in
stalled for his fourth term. The state
constitution does not specify how his
successor should be chosen.
Gov. Ellis Arnall, liberal opponent
of many Talmadge measures, believed
at first he was entitled to hold Office
until another election could be held.
Arnall, prevented by law from sue
ceeding himself, decided to stay in Of
flee until the newly elected Lieuten-
ant Governor, NJ. c. Thompson, is
sworn in January IA and then resign
in his favor.
This setup, however, does not salts

que the State Legislature should elect
the successor. Their candidate is Tai

manager for his father

historic Capitol Hill deadlocks.
In the last half century, three other
Presidents, Herbert Hoover, Woodrow
Wilson and Grover Cleveland, had to
deal with opposition Congresses. In
each case there was fireworks and
also in each case the party holding
the Presidency lost the next election.
Historic League dispute
Hoover faced a Democratic House
and Senate where insurgent Repub-
licans of the farm bloc held the bal
ance of power. Facing depression,
Hoover broke with them over the
soldiers bonus and relief.
Wilson, like Mr. Truman, had to
cope with postwar imitation, high liV-
ing costs and an epidemic of strikes.
Wilson's break with Congress was
over foreign policy and after five
months of bitter Wrangling the Re-
publican-dominated Senate refused to
ratify the peace treaty embodying the
Covenant of the League of Nations.
Democrat Cleveland faced a hostile
Republican Congress after the panic
of 1893. Although many Democratic
legislators were free silver" men,

Safari
South Toward the Pole

r. Adm. Richard E. Byrd, first man
to fly over both the North and South
Poles, headed for a rendezvous with
his 4,000-man Navy expedition to the
Antarctic. The first contingent, which
sailed December 2 from Norfolk, Va,
sighted its first iceberg in southern
waters but it was still a thousand
miles from Little America.
Byrd will catch up with them
aboard the new supercarrier Philip
pine Sea. 1t vii be his fourth trip to
southern polar waters.
Meanwhile in Washington, Under
secretary Of State Dean Acheson re-
vealed the United States was reserv-
ing all rights it may have in the Ant
arctic. Although the government
never has asserted formally any
claims in the southern continent, such
claims have been made in its behalf
by American citizens. Acheson noted
that the u. S. never has recognized
claims by other nations in the Ant
arctic.
Acheson denied report that the
u S. had asked British survey and

from Marguerite Bay where an Amer
lean expedition left huts, machinery
and supplies in 194l.

pose of the U. S. undertaking is cold

the United Nations and there seems to
be a hard core of bipartisan unity
behind the policies enunciated by
Secretary of State James F. Byrnes.
Grave national issues, heavy with
controversy, confront this executive
and legislative team, however. Among
the most pressing is labor legislation,
but other issues include tax cuts, the
draft, which expires March Is; mer-
ger of the armed forces at home, and
Congressional (streamlined) reorgan-
ization, which while passed by the
10th Congress does not bind the 80th.

World Bank
Ready for Business

More than l6 months after the end
of the war, the Is billion dollar World
Bank is ready for business. Its lend
ing policy is likely TO be more liberal
than the average American financlcr
would follow.
The banks executive directors-l2
men from different natlons-took part
in the Breton Woods conference in
1914 where the emphasis was on help
ing needy nations Many speak for such
needy nations; as potential borrowers,
they would like liberal treatment.
Fiorello LaGuardia, former UNRRA
director general, thinks the bank
should step into the shoes of UNRRA.
There is small chance that the bank
will move as quickly or as free
handedly as LaGuarda would like. 1t
is not a relief agency. Its constitution
says it must give due regard to the
prospect that borrowers will repay.
But someW here in between the
mythical American bankers view and

Cyrus s. Eaton a capitalist who under
stands the capitalist system and the capl-
talists and proved il by SOundly trouncing
some of the nations toughest business men
and financiers, spoke a few words of wis
dom recently TO his fellow businessmen.
This is what Cyrus Eaton wrote in the
University of Chicago Law Review
''The one real threat TO the capitalistiC
system in America today, is the cleavage
between capital and labor Despite the
wishful thinking of most of my fellow
capitalists, labor alone is not to blame. An
equal, if not larger share of responsibility
rests on the shoulders of the capitalists
themselves"
Labor not only produces the goods
and consumes large part of them - la
Dor also has the votes. In democracy like
ours where the majority rules cap
italism cannot survive without the sup
port of labor To avoid extinction, If for
no loftier motive, we who are capitalists
will have to make immediate and radical
changes in our attitude toward labor and
our methods of dealing with labor.
well have to begin by muzzling such
organizations as the National Association
of Manufacturers and by recognizing and
sincerely regretting there is bad feeling
on both sides.
"Our next step ought TO be full and
ungruding acceptance of labor as human
beings and as our partners who do the
work"
Maybe Mr.. Eaton'S words will awaken
in the workers the full significance and
implications contained in his statement,
'Tn democracy like ours where the
majority rules, capitalism cannot survive
without the support of labor"

Workmanship

A terrible ira agedy took
place this week in the Capital
city, in fact, within the Capitol
building itself. Someone took
a shot at United States Sena-
tor with a real gun and live
ammunition. The target was
John Bricker of Ohio and his
would.be assassin, a former
policeman, missed his mark.
This is calamity which
must not be allowed to occur
again. To shoot at a u. S. SEN
ator even one who is an arch
reactionary is completely in.
defensible, but to miss the
mark is, to say the least, bad
craftsmanship. We Americans
are very proud of the marks
manship of our police officers.
If we must have former cops
going around taking pot shots
at politicians, we should at
least take steps to preserve
the reputation which our po-
licemen have had for being
crack shots.
Fraternally yours,
Harold Manore
