prudence; his aim is to arrive in
Washington with a landslide vote
which will reinforce him as a
spokesman for the West.
The West always has a fight to
make with the predominantly East
ern leadership in the White House
and Congress: Gov. Warren, who
has often testified before congress
sional committees, knows it.
Gov. Dewey is fatty promising on
this tour to give the West the Sec
retaryship of the Interior. Senator
Gordon of Oregon is one possibility.
He is now running for reelection
and will win handily.
A Dewey-Warren victory is the
first objective Of California Republi-
cans. Their second is to defeat a
reapportionment, which would in
crease city representation in the
State Senate. This is the old CITY,
versus-country fight of every State.
Rural areas, which always bulwark
the conservative party within the
State-Republicans here-continue
to battle political recognition Of
Americas flight to the cities.
Sprawling Los Angeles, for example,
still has only one State Senator.
Representative Douglas is Target.
Third Republican target is Mrs.
Roosevelt's friend and New Deal
symbol, Representative Helen Ga
hagan Douglas of Hollywood.
Republicans have given her stout
opposition and are spending literally
to beat her. But the Wallace Party
provides the provocative and
possibly crucial aspects of her cam
paign.
Mrs. Douglas refused to file on
the Wallace ticket or to abate her
support of the Marshall Plan, the
draft or other defense measures
On the pretext that they had to
protect their position, Wallaceites
threw in an opponent against her
which was serious, as she Won by
only 1000 in the presidential year
"A and 5000 in '46.
But last week the Wallaceites sent
an emissary to her to whisper that
they were withdrawing their candi-

that the U. S. s. r. has held
aggressive intentions against its for
mer wartime allies for long time.
While the Western powers INDUCED
in an "orgy" of disarmament after
the Axis was brought to its knees,
the Moscow government continued
to maintain and even to strengthen
Its military, naval and air forces to
such an extent that today she can
offer a one-third reduction in world
military strength and still remain
the foremost military and air power
in the world.
The United States and Britain
pulverized their ground and air
forces soon after VI day. The
United States did this because it
believed, as in the past, in carrying
the torch for world peace by set
ting the example. We wanted to
to show that we had no aggressive
intentions and that we were willing
to disarm merely because we had
helped to create an international
organization to supervise world
peace and economic recovery.
20 Billions Spent.
Instead of spending billions on
keeping the Nation armed to the
teeth until the United Nations had
showed its ability to prevent fur
ther aggression, we spent nearly
$40, 600, 900, 900 after VI day in
helping other countries dncluding
some Soviet satellites) to recover
their shattered economies.
During this time the U. g. S. r. pro-
ceeded to a thorough reorganization
of her own and her satellites COM
bat forces. Military service became
compulsory from the age Of IA In
that bloc of nations which has
nearly 100000, 900 people.
Men who were no longer in the
prime of youth were demobilized
and replaced by others between the
ages Of 10 and 80. The replace
ments were men who not only were
strong and healthy, but had not
been "corroded" by contact with
the West.
Past actions Of the Kremlin leave
no room for doubt that If the
Vishinsky proposal is accepted and
put in the form Of a treaty, the
Soviets would use their overwhelm-
ing military and air superiority in
advancing their ambitions to domi-
nate the world, by force If neces-
sary.
These considerations have caused
the Western representatives at the
General Assembly to refuse to en-
tertain such a thought. They are
reported to be willing to discuss
drastic reduction In present mill
tary establishments on the basis Of
entrusting the United Nations with
the necessary international force to
keep peace in the world. But If
there is any question of reduction Of
armaments they are willing to con-
slider only quantitative disarma-
ment, that is drastic-but not per-
centage-reduction Of armed forces
in all countries.

attack Mr.. Wallace, his party, and
so forth.
Mrs. Douglas replied that she
was running on her own merits plus
the issues of prices, housing, ETC., but
added firmly that she was making
no deals. A few days later, the
Wallaceites abruptly withdrew their
candidate against another Cali
fornia liberal, Representative Hol-
field, without a word to him.
Coincidentally, dispatches ar
rived here from New York describ-
ing the strange Baldwin Wallace
encounter at a businessmen-for.
Wallace dinner. Mr.. Baldwin,
Wallace campaign manager, began
by announcing that, despite, the
lying press, the Wallace Party was
not defeating liberals; that 1t would
support Chester Bowles in Con-
necticut, Helen Douglas in Call
fornia, etc.
Party Line Change Seen.
Mr.. Wallace, obviously surprised
and angry, Immediately tackled Mr..
Baldwin with the question, What
are you doing to our party, Beanie?"
and proceeded to argue that the
party had to build on a consistent
line regardless of individuals. He
said he had never heard Mrs.
Douglas repudiate the Truman doc
trine.
The businessmen, who are at
least Leftish, received Mr.. Wallace's
outburst in freezing silence, the
accounts said.
1t is completely in character for
the politically stupid Mr.. Wallace
to reveal his discontinue instantly
and publicly. But Communists don't
do things accidentally and Com
munists dominate Or. Wallace's
party and Beanie Baldwin.
California Democrats, who, next
to New York, have suffered longest
from the Communists and under
stand them best, groan over the
possibility that the party line has
changed; that new attempts viii be
made to capture the Democratic
Party. They were already chary Of
the Wallaceites bringing gifts; they
are now alarmed. Informed that
the Russians in Berlin have dropped
virtually all mention Of Mr.. Wallace,
they shudder.
Democrats here, as everywhere,
don't need any new headaches.
James Roosevelt, the impulsive and
now reptenant anti-Trumanite, has
moved upstairs from State chair
man to national committeeman.
But he is still impulsive.
Jack Shelley, AFL bulwark Of the
State organization, was strongly
promoted for Secretary Of Labor, but
the President shot from the hip
again and without notice or apology
abruptly. appointed Maurice Tobtn
of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Shelley isn't
sulking but his hackers are angry.

even If we fictionalize 1t by gestures
such as the United Nations, which Is
void Of their deep feeling for the
need Of peace"
This letter struck me because my
mind already had leaped to the
analogy between Mr.. Gandhi's
death and Count Bernadotte's-in-
cluding, also, the death Of Masaryk,
another peace lover who had to
perish by violence.
None of these sought his own
death, yet each approached 1t VOL
unfairly.
Mr.. Gandhi had prescience Of
what would happen when he went
to New Delhi.
Mr.. Masaryk, apprehending that
the men Of violence were rising in
his country, returned to oppose
them, knowing his life was at stake
and perhaps world peace, too.
Accepted Hazardous Mission.
Count Bernadotte accepted q
mission which he believed had
hardly a chance to succeed and
was personally, hazardous. He had
been warned not to 60 to Jerusalem.
But the man Of peace dare not be
deferred by threats from men Of
violence; otherwise there could
never be peace. He was shot at
twice, as his car passed through
the city--once from q distance, and
then, fatally. -, ..-t
Each OF these men, then, was q

lence, and each was fated for that

sia the strongest military power in
the world, but would even increase
it's relative advantage over other
militarily weaker nations.
The Soviet ground forces are con-
servatively estimated at 100 COM
bat divisions. The ground forces OF
the Western powers (America,
Britain, France and the Benelux
countries) do not exceed 30 combat
divisions. BY a reduction Of one
third, as Mr.. Vishinsky suggests.
the U. S. S. R. would retain 127
combat misunderstanding that
she follows the agreement with
scrupulous honesty-to 20 for the
Western powers.
So far as the United States is
concerned, acceptance of such a
proposal would reduce our present
ground forces to less than six COM
bat divisions at home and abroad.
Air Strength Compared.
The same thing applies to the air
force. A one-third reduction in
Soviet aviation would permit her
to retain about $500 first-line
planes, against less than 1900
American and about TOO British
combat craft of all types.
Only on the sea would the West
ern powers possess greater strength
than the U. S. S. r. and her satel-
lites. 1t is admitted that naval
power, while still important to
certain degree, no longer possesses
the same value as in the past.
In modern strategy combina-
ton and correlation of the three
branches of the armed forces are of
real consequence for the national
defense of any one country or group
OF countries. The American and
British navies can be of vital as
sistance in keeping open lines of
communication and in the overall
strategy. But their offensive power
against country which relies prin-
cipally on interior lines of commune
cation, rather than ocean-borne
transport, must be discounted.

Were these sacrifices utterly in
vain? Are their deaths only ominous
warnings Of war?
Not conventional war made them
its victims. They were killed by
gangs, waging the meanest type of
war. These gangs are out for seizure
of power-and liquidation Of prede-
cessors through action commit
tees" cynically challenging the
peaceable to take arms against
them or perish along with peace.
Or they form armed bands, de-
claring death sentences in cabals,
striking from among trusted fol-
lowers, sometimes wearing the uni
form of a friend in order to be
received with affection while the
shot is fred or the dagger plunged.
Palestine terrorists often donned
British uniforms the easier to kill
Englishmen.
viii gangs rule the world? The
blood Of Mr.. Gandhi, Mr.. Masaryk
and Count Bernadotte rebukes
them.
Hyderabad Case Cited.
Uselessly? Perhaps not. Com
munal strife has quieted in India,
and the Hyderabad case is remark
able. Hyderabad belongs in India,
but Pandit Jawaharlal Nehrus de-
cision to settle the matter must
have been taken with heavy heart.
But the war did not come of; the
Nizam surrendered-and is being
treated with unique consideration
and respect.
Count Bernadotte left behind o.
plan for peace, as impartial, just,
humane and realistic as possible.
Israel, which at last is rounding
up its terrorists, is according this
plan more temperate respect than
it might have given had Count
Bernadotte not been martyred, for
it asks sacrifices. But does not
peace always involve sacrifice?

Bears swamp
Rams; Cards
trim Packers

The Chicago Bears stayed on
top in the western division of
the National League as they
stomped the highly touted Los
Angeles Rams 1921 last Sunday
before 43,707 contented fans in
Wrigley Field.
George McAfee, who scored
the first Bear touchdown with
twisting so yard punt return
and j. r. Boone, rookie scat
back from Tulsa, were outstand-
ing in the Bears backfield. They
got plenty of help from charg-
ing Bear line led by Ray Bray,
George Conner, Ed. Offers and
the jolting Bulldog Turner, who
seems to mellow with the years.
Sid Luckman played his usual
fine game and his substitute
Johnny Lujack who played a
fine defensive game showed
signs of developing into a first
rate offensive quarterback. He
still needs some practice in his
handouts which SO far have been
none too deceptive.
This combination of 1948 mon
sters, Bear size, should have
little difficulty winning at will
when they take on the inept
Detroit Lions at Wrigley Field
next Sunday.
The Chicago Cardinals, thanks
to two brilliant runs of IS and 40
yards by Elmer Angsman and
Charlie Trippi respectively,
managed to stay right on the
heels of their north side rivals
in the western race by defeating
the Green Bay Packers 17-7 in
Green Bay.
Ray MallOuf did a capable job
in the absence of pitching Paul
Christman, No. l quarterback
who is Out for a month with an
injured hand, If Ray can keep
up the good work in the next
three games against the none
too strong N. Y. Giants, Boston

Cardinals should be able to stay
in the race till the bitter end.

SPORTS

Mast, Brave catcher swings, a
long drive to left field and
millions of Cleve Gland fans
hearts stop all over the world.
1t looks like homer, but Lady
Luck smiles on Bearden. The
ball hits the top of the wall.
One man scores, but the tying
run stops at third, Bearden pulls
himself together, forces Mike
Mccormick to hit back to the
mound and retires the side.
He retires the Braves in the
ninth without a run and saves
the game for Lemon, Cleveland
wins 4-3. A new champion was
born. Cleveland fans breathed
again. But in the midst of their
joy they shuddered, Brother that
was close!
And truer words were never
spoken, for in a word, that is
the story of the 45th World
Series. Close!!l
The Indians went into the
Series an odds-on favOrite to
trample the Braves. But they
quickly found out the Braves
weren't to be fooled with. The
Indians had brilliant pitching
staff in Feller, Lemon, and Bear
den but the Braves equalled it
with Sain, SPAIN, and BickfOrd.
So it became a pitchers series.
Usually in pitchers series
the infield tells the story and SO
it was in this series. Keltner,
Boudreau and Gordon time and
time again knocked down po-
tential hits to turn them into
game saving double plays. The
Boston infield on the other hand
was shaky and costly hobbies by
Elliot and Dark were a prime
factor in their defeat.
The booming bats of Gordon
and Keltner were for the most
part silenced. But the Indians
as whole hit in the clutch and
that's when it counts. Lou Bou-
dreau was always dangerous at
the plate as the Braves found
out to their sorrow. But the
teams hitting star was the Ne
gro rookie, Larry Dolby, with a
,318 average. His home run off
Johnny Sain, which led to a 2-1
victory in the fourth game, was
the determining factor in the
series. If Boston had won this
one h world championship
