of a special election to submit the
proposal for hospital district to q
vote of the people, Keolker said
but discarded the idea in favor OF
submitting the issue to the elec.
torate at the general election.
Forty percent of the voters
must vote affirmatively to set up
the hospital district, he explained,
and it will be much less difficult
to get them to the polls at general
election time. Not much time can
be lost by waiting till fall, in view
of the much greater chance of sue
cess for the proposal, Keolker said.
He disclosed also, that Charles
Powell is carrying on preliminary
talks with the Prosser Hospital as
sociaton on the subject of place
ment of the dividing line between
the districts.
It was not known until recently,
he concluded, that Prosser resi-
dents plan the same action on set
ting up hospital district that has
been outlined for Kennewick. AS
soon as they became aware OF it.,
directors of the Kennewick asso-
citation began consulting with the
Prosser group to assure uni
formity of planning.

Vatican Newspaper Hopes
For Trumon-Stoljn Meetino

VATICAN CITY, Nov. 10 R.-
L'Osservatore Romano, which fire.
quently reflects the views of Pope
Plus XII, expresses hope the United
States elections have paved the way
for meeting of President Truman
and Prime Minister Stain
The editorial, entitled Historic
Moment" was published yesterday
and signed by Count Giuseppe
Dalla Tore. director Of the news
paper, who is close to the views
of the Pope.
As basis for such q hope, the
newspaper recalled the interview
of Mr.. Stain with Pravda Just be-
fore the American election, when
the Soviet leader said the horror
OF the last war was too fresh in the
worlds memory to permit sue
cess for the war minded.
1t also recalled the speech of
Foreign Minister Molotov just after
the American election, in which he
said the defeat Of Gov. Dewey was
. blow at "a policy Of aggression"
The editorial continued:
IF Truman's election has this
significance, then it is true that his
program is neither reactionary nor
aggressive. 1t is true that the
majority Of the American people be-
lieves that the President works, as
he has said, for peace"

and-Grant Educators
Urged TO Put Greater
Stress on Liberal Arts

A group of educators today pro-
posed to the annual conference OF
the Association of Land-Grant Col
leges and Universities that the
country's land-grant schools take
steps to broaden their curricula with
new emphasis on social and political
sciences, fine arts and history.
If adopted by the association s
senate" later today, the proposal
would mark definite change in the
traditional role of land-grant insti-
tutions which up to now has placed
major emphasis on agricultural and
engineering subjects.
The proposal was submitted to the
convention in the Washington Hotel
by a seminar group headed by Dean
Lyman Jackson of Pennsylvania
State College.
More than 500 educators attending
the SD annual convention were
informed by Robert Huse, director
Of overseas information for the Eco
nomic Cooperation Administration,
that the European Recovery Pro-
gram is working we'll
Communist opposition always is
a factor in ERP's success, he added,
commenting: "They are throwing
every monkey wrench that comes
to hand"
At session last night. Secretary
Of Agriculture Brannan said he did
not believe the public wants to wash
its hands" of the problems of farm
surpluses and price supports.
Mr.. Brannan proposed that steps
be taken, through the extension
services in land-grant institutions,
to extend basic agricultural educa-
ton to non-farm people.
The convention is in its second
day and will end tomorrow.

The committee, he said. had taken
a representative cross-section of au-
thorized dealers, and made thor
ough inquiry into their operations"
for the seven months.
I'VE have traced thousands of au-
tomobile transactions representing
approximately go per cent of the
new-car sales in this area during
that period" he said.
"As q result we have arrived at
certain conclusions which we be-
lieve are worthy of further con-
sideration by the Congress, the
automobile industry and by the
public.
1--WE have attempted to be more
conservative in Interpreting our
findings, and have resolved every
doubt in favor of the dealers.
Although historically trade
ms were handled by new-car deal
ers at loss, today they are selling
them at an average of 43 per cent
above the amount they have al
lowed.
Held Too High.
"This constitutes an unconscion-
able markup, since the generous
profit which the dealers make on
new car sales was established by
the manufacturers on a sufficiently
high percentage in relation to list
price to compensate them for the
used car loss they normally sus-
tanned In prewar markets.
,"In addition to this, since they
receive a percentage discount. the
new car dealers profits have been
materially increased by the fact
that the basic price Of automobiles
is at least 90 per cent above pre-
war"
Trade-ins have been undervalued
by the dealer. Mr., Macy charged, on
the average of at least $500. He
estimated that during the first seven
months Of this year, this practice
has cost the people in this Metro
politan Area more than $4,000, 600
Based on complaints the COM
mittee has received, the chairman
said, 'it appears that the new car
purchaser does not want at least so
per cent of the extras and acces-
sories with which his car has been
equipped"
yet" he charged, 1--WE find that
on an average, a new car carries
$286 worth of such items.

u. 5. Policy in China
Reviewed by Nafiona|
Security Council

The National Security Council has
reviewed American policy toward
China In the light of recent Com
munist successes there and has
made recommendations to President
Truman, officials disclosed today.
They refused to reveal what policy
changes II any were proposed.
A State Department official said
major American policies always are
reviewed by the National Security
Council in the light of any chs ,ges
in the world situation.
He said 1t is obvious that the sit
uation in China is deteriorating rap
idly In view of the recent gains by
Communist forces against Chang
Kai-shek's Nationalist armies, pre-
senting grave problem for Amer
ican policy makers.
He said American policy, involving
limited economic and military aid
to Chang Kai-Shek's government,
has been under recent review by the
Council, resulting in recommended
tons to Mr.. Truman.
The National Security Council Is
composed of the State, Defense
Army, Navy and Air Force Secre-
taries, and the chairman of the
National Security Resources Board,
with the President as chairman.
Meanwhile, Undersecretary of
State Lovett said the State Depart
ment had not raised any objections
to a trip to China by William c..
Bullitt, who has been critical Of the
State Departments attitude toward
China and supported Gov. Dewey
in the election.
Mr.. Bullitt, former American AM
bassador to Russia and France, left
yesterday by plane as a special rep
resentative of the so-called Con-
gressional Watchdog Committee, :"
set up to check on this Govern
ment's foreign air program.
Senator Bridges, \ Republican, Of
New Hampshire said earlier today
that some one in the State De-
partment" tried to halt Mr.. Bullitt's
mission.
Mr.. Lovett said he had noticed
press reports of Senator Bridges
charge and that he had no idea
what 1t was based on. Asked If
the department had any objections
to the Bullitt mission, he said 1t
had not raised any.
Senator Bridges Is chairman Of
the watchdog committee, but will
surrender that post when the Demo-
Gratis take over control of Congress
again January 3.
He said the committee decided
on the Bullitt mission to see "just
how desperate the Chinese situa-
ton is"
