 DEVON, Conn, June 30. II R- Five -year-old Russell Thomas of New Haven is alive today because another bather in the Devon Park pond stepped on him.
 Surrounded by scores of other bathers, the child, son of Mrs. Lil- Han Thomas, apparently sank un- noticed to the bottom of the pond, yesterday.
 Russell Hansen, 24, of Hamden, entering the pond, stumbled and, seeking the cause, found the child's body, brought it ashore and ad- ministered artificial respiration.

SKAGWAY, Alaska, June 24.-We regret very much the lack of news in our column but find that the art of walking on crutches is one which we should cultivate If we want to get about. We know that there has been plenty to write about as usual if we could only have gone out after it. However, sprained ankles have the annoying habit of keeping one well tied down to comfortable chair. We expect to be able to get back into schedule in anothed week or two.

We that we could handle the Ian

Jean Was particularly interested
in buying an alligator bag, being as
this is the city where the best ones
are made and cost only a fraction
of what they do in the States.
Somewhere on the Avenue Rio
Branco, Rios main draggo, using
the Portuguese we we're so proud
Of, we asked a man if he could
tell us where to find the best shop
for alligator bags. He bowed,
nodded in understanding, and
walked with us a few blocks, finally
halting in front Of an imposing
building. He entered the building,
explained something to the elevator
operator, and left us.
We were proud as peacocks
Without using any English we had
made our needs known. The eleva-
tor operator let us out on the fourth
floor and. in what we considered
impeccable Portuguese. we asked the
receptionist where we could find

She smiled pleasantly, and, ushered
US into an impressive Office. Back

some alligator bags.
He looked as stunned as If we
had slugged him with blackjack.
He rocked in his chair. recovered,
and rocked again. He gasped.
Finally, he pulled out of it and in
perfect English said.

tax bill passed by the House near
the end of the first session of Con-
gress. The bill was passed by vote
of 290 to 112. The average number
of votes for it in the preceding four
sessions, in which it was also passed
by the House, was Isl. With this
demonstration of Republican pur-
pose in mind, Whip Wherry pro-
poses to give the bill a running
start in the Senate, with an early
date on the Senate calendar. Not
later than January the battle should
be on.
Aware, of course, that Southern
Democrats will be waiting to fill
buster the measure to death as they
have in the past, Mr.. Wherry plans
first to eliminate the filibuster it
self. This would be done by amend
ing the Senate rules on the limita-
ton of debate. The present rules
of "the greatest deliberative body on
earth" require two-thirds vote to
limit debate. 1t has been virtually
impossible in the past to get that
two thirds. Senators cherish their
freedom of speech. During the ses-
sion just ended a resolution to SUBJ
stitute a majority vote for the two
thirds requirement failed of adop-
ton. But quiet inquiry since then
has indicated a changing mood and
the Republican leader believes he
will have the needed votes next
time.
The first fight will come on the
antifilibuster resolution itself and
it should be dandy, with the
Southern Democrats trying to fill
buster an antifilbuster resolution
to death.
In the months between sessions the

Well, something like that hap

all because the three of us who are
making this trip together got too
cocky about our mastery of the
Portuguese language. We felt
Jean, Harvey Mcmillan and THAT
we had the language licked; that
we could speak 1t like natives. Ac-
tually, all we have done about
speaking Portuguese is to add an
"o' to all the English words we
know.
1t Goes Like This.
For example, in asking the maid
at the hotel to clean up the room
our Portuguese goes something like
this:
"Maido, will you please sweepc
the roomo, and makeiuppo the
bedso. Thankso very mucho."
But, thanks to the patience anc

Other well-informed sources said
four Army combat teams (about 2,00(
mem in Germany would be rushed
to Greece as soon as the Yugoslavs
Macedonians, Bulgarians and AL
banians begin their major offensive
Other stories say that we already
have a strong Marine force aboard
the various American warships in
the Mediterranean and that they
will be landed in Greece as soon as
top-ranking officials here consider
such step justified.
All these stories have been re-
ceived with grain of salt, especially
since they were denied by respon-
sible Government officials.
New Light on Situation.
Herschel v. Johnson's statement
Tuesday before the u. N. Security
Council that Greece was "in grave
peril" and that the time for ap-
peasement of Russian veto threats
was passed, places the whole situa-
ton in an entirely different light.
After many conferences between
the deputy American delegate in
the Council and policy-framers In
the State, War and Navy Depart
ments, the conclusion was reached
that this country could no longer
afford to watch Russia jeopardize
world peace by using the veto power
whenever her expansionist aims are
st stake. Tolerance for that prac.
tice would do more than anything
else to destroy the whole structure
of the U. N.
American representatives in the
U. N. must wait for any further
action until the United Nations
General Assembly meets in New
York September Is. Then they are
expected to place the whole matter
before that body and insist that
the spirit, rather than the letter, o1
the Charter be put into effect.

On the Other Hand
Real Battle Against Filibuster
Due When Congress Meets Again

the poll tax will be busy. They have
important groups friendly to their
effort in every State. These groups
will work on the Senators at home,
seeking to get promises to support
the debate limiting, or cloture, reso-
luton. They do not have to argue
the poll tax issue. They know the
votes are available in the Senate to
pass the bill If means of shutting
off Southern oratory can be devised.
So far as the Republican Senators
are concerned-and the same goes
for Northern Democrats-passing
the anti-poll tax bill will be sure-fire
good politics. 1t will appeal in a
general way to all liberals and in a
very specific way to the Negro vote
in the North. That vote, taken away
from the party of Lincoln by Roose-
welt, has not yet been reclaimed to
any important extent. If the Re-
publicans succeed in aboishing the
poll tax, in passing Federal anti
lynching law and fair employment
practices law, they will have reason
10 think they are sitting pretty in the
large industrial States to which
Negroes nave moved in great num-
bers during the past decade.
Once the filibuster ceases to be
part of the accepted machinery of
the Senate, it has been demon
strated that those three measures
can be enacted.
But the Southern Democrats, ever
then, will &C down fighting. They
did in the House. While Represen-
tative Dirksen of Illinois might de-
claim that anti-poll tax legislation
"is the unfinished business of this
generation" Representative Gossett
of Texas was ready with the retort
"Mr. Speaker, we all know this bill
is conceived in sin and brought forth
in iniquity." And Representative
Hobbs of Alabama: Again today
the House is perpetrating lynching.
A mob is lynching the law Of the
land!"
The real line of defense, however,
was given by Representative Bryson
of South Carolina. Having remarked
that the poll tax is "the recurring
weed in the legislative garden" he
let fly with this assertion: "The
strongest advocates of anti-poll tax
legislation are the Communist and
Socialist Parties and the radicals
and left-wingers Of the Democratic
and Republican parties"
You will hear a lot along that
same line next January, If Mr..
Wherry makes good his promise and
the Southern Senators find them
selves fighting with their backs to
the wall.

US. Policy Framers Willing to Seek
An Assertion of L. Ms Authority

The spirit of the Charter is that

world shall be suppressed by all
available means-by force. If neces-
sary. The Russians insist on the
letter of the Charter. which requires
unanimity of the Big Five IN the
Security Council before force car
be used. They have succeeded, by
preventing Big Five unanimity, ill
