FARMERS
are people
By Homer Ayres

Beef for the common man
might be harder and harder to
buy for some time. Cattle num-
bers have declined seven million
head since the all-time peak in
1944-45 If Sc million. In spite
of the bumper corn crop, much
of which is now selling below
dollar per bushel on the farm,
it will be some time before the
meat potential builds up to the
point reached during OPA.
The main reason for the cat
tie shortage is fear on the part
of livestock producers of an
economic crackup. The oldsters
on the range remember the
break in 1920, after World War
1 and the sad days of the de-
preston. So they have been
quietly going out of business,
while cattle prices were high,
and the going out good. Herd
after herd of breeding cattle
have been shipped to market
and slaughtered. This is one of
the by-products of killing OPA-
Few young men have the finan-
cial courage to buy in while

Secretary SchweIIenboch

Lewis Baxter Schwellenbach could have
spent his remaining years In the staid and
quiet atmosphere of Federal District

understand why he regarded his appoint
ment to a United States District Court
judgeship in the State of Washington as
new and welcome experience. He was
being rendered life tenure in what he de-
scrbed as "the best job in the world

Unlike q President

Reports from the Presidents special
train bring word that Mr.. Truman's ad-
visers are delighted with the effect his
attack on Congress is having in the West.
Maybe they are right, but from this dis
tance it looks as though he is putting his
worst foot forward.
In one of his characteristic off -the-cuh
remarks the President said that this is
the worst, or at least the second worst,
Congress in the country's history. 1t was
to be expected that the President would
attack Congress when the campaign gets
under way But this is not the time for
It, Whatever else may be said OF this
Congress it has committed the United
States to a world role commensurate with
its world position. And it has done so IN
the belief, and with the assurance OF the
President, that the assumption of this re-
sponsibility is essential to our own security.
This commitment is being subjected now
to flank attack led by Republicans in the
House. But they could not have succeeded
without Democratic assistance. In the
Senate counterattack to save the pro-
gram is being mounted by Republicans
and they need all of the assistance they
can get. They are getting no help from
the President, however, and he ought to
be here. doing what he can to lend hand.
But the President is out campaigning, and
campaigning on a level which is bound to
make it harder for Senator Vandenberg
and the Republicans who are working with
him to turn back the assault on the most
important legislative item of the year.
The President is also operating well
below the level of craftsmanship in his
effort to round up some labor votes by
denouncing the Taft-Hartley law. Mr..
Truman says he does not like the law and
adds, in effect, that he is enforcing 1t only
because he has to. But what would Mr..
Truman have done without the law? How
would he have gone about protecting the
public interest in the recent set-to with
John L. Lewis? The fair inference Is that
Mr. Truman, when after votes, is fully
capable of subordinating the national
interest to the selfish interest of minority
group. That is conduct unbecoming a
President s-r-.,

Sensible Restrictions

The restrictions on CT educational bene-
fits which the House Appropriations
Committee has recommended are sensible
and should be approved by Congress, in
justice to veterans generally and to the
public at large. The proposal to limit
veterans training to courses holding
promise of vocational advancement would
bring to an end some of the absurdities
which have developed under the Veterans
Administration program.
The committee agrees with VA officials
and with the Budget Bureau that Congress
never intended that GI training should
include instruction in how to become
popular on the dance floor (by learning to
jitterbug and rumba). Nor how to fly,
take photographs or ride horseback-for
avocational rather than vocational pur-
poses Those are the sort of abuses of
Government generosity which were re-
vealed in recent report to Congress by
Budget Director Webb. The report eSti-
mated that such avocational and recrea-
tional courses were costing the taxpayers

Hyderobud and India

The seeming deadlock in negotiations
between the government of India and that
of Hyderabad draws attention to one OF
the two outstanding difficulties involving
the native states, the other being Kash-
mir. AS it happens, the situations in the
disputed areas are diametrical opposites,
which renders more difficult an equitable
solution applicable to BOTH
Hyderabad and Kashmir are the two
giants in the complex mosaic of native
states which dotted the pattern OF British
India. With the end of British rule and
the division of the Indian subcontinent
into two nationalistic Dominions framed
along religious lines, the native states be-
came obvious anachronisms which were
logically destined to merge with one or
other Of the new political creations. In
most cases merger was easy and went
along lines of geography. The difficult
cases were where the ruling prince was of
one faith and his subjects mainly of an
other In Hyderabad and Kashmir this
difficulty was accentuated by the fact that
these large states had a strong local con-
sciousness under long established dynastic
rulers.
Hyderabad almost biSectS South-Central
India. It's area of $4,000 square miles is
larger than that of Great Britain while its
population of some 100000 approximates
that of Australia and Canada combined.
It's ruler the Nizam, is probably the
wealthieSt individual in the world and his
ancestors have ruled the country for more
than two centuries. He is a Moslem, and
his coreligionists are favored minority,
although the great majority of the popula-
ton is Hindu. The Hindu dominated gov
ernment of India is determined not only
that Hyderabad shall be merged with the
Dominion but also that the local Hindu
majority shall enjoy the political predom
nance to which it is numerically entitled.
The Nizam and his Moslem supporters
oppose the loss of power that they have
traditionally exercised.
In theory the transformation of Hy-
derabad's political structure along demo-
cratic lines would seem to be equitable.
But in Kashmir the shoe is on the other
foot. There, Hindu dynasty and ariSto-
cratic class have ruled over a local MoSlem
majority. And when local troubles broke
out, the ruling Maharaja formally Joined
India and appealed for military aid in
combating the local insurgents reinforced
by Moslems from neighborng Pakistan
and the wild tribesmen of the Afghanistan
border. On the complaint of Pakistan, the
Kashmir dispute was referred to the
United Nations which has appointed a
commission to superintend a plebiscite to
determine Kashmirs political allegiance.
No Such recourse tn the IT NJ jc looa1ly
feasible in the Hyderabad case, because
the state has no international standing
The situation might alter if the Nizam
should apply for merger with Pakistan

Atrees With Mr., Taber

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your issue of June contained an editorial,
Folly in the House. which was critical of the
cut in funds for the European Recovery Pro-
gram
Your news columns contained little If any
thing about the reasons for the cut, but the
New York Times of the same day stated: "Mr.
Taber asserted: There Is no Marshall Plan; it
is merely a conventional term, and We find
those who are most vociferous in its support
are those who know the least about it," I
wonder If this does not take in the writer of
the editorial in question.
Apparently, the Appropriations Committee
made thorough investigation and its members
we're satisfied that the cuts could be made with
out doing the program any serious harm. The
Committee also pointed out that over 18 billion
dollars had already been spent by this country
for foreign relief much Of which was wasted.
Now it is the same administration and the
same departments that are crying for more
billions. As = taxpayer I. for one, would much
rather have Mr.. Tabers opinion than that Of

ously increasing prices on everything, without

PROGRESS of Women

A century Of progress accomplished by
American women will be "commemorated"
in a stamp to be placed on sale at Seneca
Falls, New York, on July 19. 1t was on
that date In 1848 that the convention
summoned to launch the modern feminist
movement assembled there. Leaders in the
discussion are portrayed in the design Of
the new postal label. They were Lucretia
Cof1n Mott (17s3-l8so) and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton (l815-l902).
OF this remarkable team the older men,
ber was a preacher of the Society of
Friends, who followed the liberal evangelist
Elias Hicks and held, in the words Of
william Penn, that: Men are to be judged
by their likeness to Christ, rather than
their notions of Christ" Her attempt to
make this sentiment real force in the
civilization of her generation was an epic
She spoke and wrote in behalf Of many
reforms-temperance, international !,eace
abolition Of chattel slavery, equal pay for
equal labor and broad principles Of educa-
ton. The number of her interests grew
with increasing age. When she was eighty
six she still was busy with her mission.
Mrs. Stanton was natural ally for such
crusader. She, too, profoundly felt the
challenge Of social injustice. Educated
under the eye Of Emma Willard, she read
law in her fathers Office and married a
lawyer who shared her determination to
"do something" about human bondage
The young couple met Mrs Mott in London
in 1910 and Joined forces with her. It
was in their residence in Seneca Falls that
the famous convention was planned. Mrs
Stanton delivered the opening address,
setting out Declaration" which still is
fascinating reading as progressive docu-
ment. Ridicule of its aff1rmations was
common at the time, but its philosophy
was sound and its aspirations largely have
been realized

show portrait of Carrie Chapman Gait

humanitarian work of Mrs. Mott and Mrs

more than year ago. She was follower
