the us. military preparedness pro
gram, it undoubtedly carried a
great propaganda impact abroad
and, to a smaller extent, inside the
us.
President Truman's Berkeley
speech was a creditable reply.
His theme was that the Soviet
Union is acting as an aggressor and
obstructor of world peace, and he
postulated the theory that there is
nc likelihood Of settling disputes be-
tween the two nations by negotia-
ton so long as Russia continues to
WELD international communism as
a weapon to influence the course Of
world events.
The American intent, he said, is
to deal with the East-West cleavage
by deeds, not propaganda.
1--WE shall Judge the policy Of
every nation by whether it advances
or obstructs world progress toward
peace and we wish our own policy
to be judged by the same standard"
AS a measuring stick for that
principle Mr.. Truman suggested
that Russia begin the demonstra-
ton of her good intentions, if any,
by hating the perilous strife in
Greece and Korea.
Thus, both Americans and Rus
slams know where the us. stood.
And from this side Of the ocean 1t
looked to be as good a place as any.

HOLD FIRE
Still No Peace

For a little while the dove OF
peace drifted over Palestine on
frayed and weary wing as Arab and
Israeli armies were observing,
more or less loosely, a four-week
truce in the war for possession of
the Holy Land.
At best the United Nations-super-
vised truce agreement was q fret
full and uneasy affair. Before the
four-week mediation period was
two days old both Arabs and Jews
had begun charging each other
with violations of the pact.
Count Folke Bernadotte, U.N.
truce negotiator, was investigating
the accusations, but it looked very
much as though another security
council cease-fire order might 60
unloved, unhonored and unobeyed.
Actually, it is difficult to see how
any alphabetically imposed truce
could succeed in Palestine: There
T no basic grounds upon which
a genuine interruption Of hostilities
could rest. Both sides profess mill
tary proficiency and the ability to
keep on fighting and winning.
And more important, each side is
f~anatically opposed to modifying its
demands: Israel is determined to
retain its sovereignty and to have
unlimited immigration of Jews into
the state. The Arabs are just as
determined to erase the state Of
Israel from the map.
Thus, there is little confidence in
the security councils truce plan
and its power to effect peace. And
that pessimism was heightened by
the knowledge that no U.N. cease
fire edict has worked yet.
Aside from the seriousness of the
struggle for Palestine itself, deep
est significance of the affair lay in
the fact that it is raising once more
the old question of whether any
world peace organization of nations
ever can succeed in the task it sets
for itself-the maintenance of peace
and order on earth.
Pressure Of world opinion-which
is all the U.N. security council can
bring to bear, lacking both military
teeth and the power to bring eco
homie sanctions against offending
nations-apparently is not going to
be enough, at least in the case of
Palestine.
One inference which may be
drawn is that the U.N. will need
more power of n kind or another
before it can prevail against the
fetish of blind, militant n~ationalism
that has hurled the world into two
major wars already in this century.

Veto Of Key Mansion
Laid 10 Objections
By Budget Bureau

Budget Bureau objections led
President Truman to kill by pocket
veto . congressional resolution to
build . replica" of Francis Scott
Keys Georgetown home as q me-
mortal to the author Of "The Star
Spangled Banner"
This was disclosed late yesterday
by the White House, which had an
nounced earlier that the President
had allowed the measure to die
without his signature because he
didn't like it.
The Budget Bureau questioned
financing of the project, as we'll as
the fact that the proposed memorial
could be only q replica" Of the Key
residence which already has been
torn down and that the proposed
site would not be where the home
stood originally.
Use Of Tablet Proposed.
1t suggested that tablet could
be erected near Francis Scott Key
Bridge and his old home site If it
desired to further memorialize the
national anthem author.
The Bureau pointed out that the
Key Bridge already constituted .
memorial to Key and that Fort
McHenry. near Baltimore, also had
been provided as a national monu-
ment to him.
The resolution killed by the Presi-
dent would have authorized $65 900
for restoration of the Key home.
which stood about 100 feet west Of
Key Bridge when he lived in 1t
from approximately 1908 to 1928.
The Budget Bureau questioned
whether this would be enough for
the project, and estimated mainte-
nance costs would run about $4,000
year.
Materials salvaged when the house
was razed for construction OF the
K street viaduct would not so far
toward rebuilding 1t. the bureau
said. 1t pointed out, too, that many
remodelngs had left the house
little like the original Key home
when 1t finally was torn down.
Bricks Stored Near Site.
Site proposed for restoration Of
the home was on q Government
owned tract between M street NV,
the Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal, the
Key Bridge and Thirty-fourth street
NV, on the opposite side Of the
M street entrance to the bridge.
from where the Key residence stood,
the bureau noted.
Bricks from the Key house are
stored on Government property
near the proposed site. Harry T.
Thompson, assistant superintendent
of National Capital Parks, said park
officials would adopt waiting atti-
tude before any disposition is made
Of the materials.
F. Regis Noel. president Of the
Columbia Historical Society, prom
ised a fight in the next session OF
Congress to keep the project alive.
He said it has the Endorsement Of

CLEAN BILL-The Civil Service
Commission has given clean bill OF
health to Federal departments and

of retirement regulations.
The only place where this has
occurred is in the Library Of Con-
gress, which reports one case OF q
7O-year -old employe. with less thar
Is years of service, who was dis
missed from his job. Technically
the Library can do this, because 1t
is part of the legislative branch Of
the Government, and does not come
under executive branch retiremen,
regulations.
Under commission retirement reg
ulations, which all executive branch
agencies are supposed to follow
employees are retired at 10 only II
they have Is years Of Government
service. Otherwise, they are allowed
to remain on the job.
The Libraray of Congress does not
come under these regulations and
consequently contends that it can

Nevertheless, Chairman LANCER OF

has assigned an investigator to
make a report on the case involved.

AFGE DRIVE-The various lead

In special session tomorrow night.
Their object: Unionization OF the

It's no secret that most Federal
workers here are unorganized. ana
it's also no secret that AFL CHIEF
tains are very much dissatisfied with
the situation and want the AFGE
to develop into strong Federal
workers union.
The District division OF the AfCE
has appointed q special membership
drive committee, headed by Clark
Nichols. In a special call to action.
Mr.. Nichols told his union COL
leagues:
"There never was q more oppor-
tune time for 4 real membership

HIGH COURT?-some colleagues
of Senator Taft express the belief
that ultimately he would like to
wind up his career on the bench OF

They say that, with his chances
for the presidency gone. Senator
Taft might seriously consider q Su-
preme Court judgeship when = va
cancy occurs.
If that did prove to be the case,
Senator Taft would be following In
the footsteps of his father, William
Howard Taft, who became CHIEF
Justice after leaving the White
House.
DEFENSE-Top ofIicials in the
National Defense Establishment
seem to be taking it for granted
that, In the event of q Republican
victory, Senator Martin Of Pennsyl-
vania will be the next Secreatry Of
Defense
incidentally, Pentagon insiders say
that, regardless OF the election out
come, Secretary Forrestal will re-
turn to private industry by the end
of the year.

It's undoubtedly true that there
would be almost thorough change
over of the important Government
jobs now held by Democrats. Some
Republican members in key Gov
ernment positions-and there are
quite a few of them-would remain
in all probability.
As far as the little fellow" IN
the Federal service is concerned,
he need not worry too much about
his Job. The consensus seems to be
that rank and file Government en-
ployes who have permanent status
will remain on the Federal pay roll,
regardless of which party wins.
It's only the really important jobs,
with fairly good salaries, that are
being eyed hungrily by the Repub-
licans. OF course, some changes are
going to be made up and down the
line. But most career employees IN
