Politics
Dewey VS.. Sfossen


Oregon's COP presidential primary
May 81 is the last popular primary
election before the Republican ma
tional convention in Philadelphia ex-
actly one month later. Developments
this week made certain that the out
come would be dramatic and impor-
tant, far beyond the II delegate
votes that hinge on the balloting.
For on the Oregon outcome, Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey and Harold E. Stas-
sen have staked their political pres
tige and, perhaps, their presidential
ambitions. They will meet face to face
In an old fashioned debate reminis-
cent of the Lincoln-Douglas political
duels. This time it will be over a
nationwide radio hookup.
The New York governor. barn
storming through Oregon, accepted
the debate in wire to DR.. Peter Ode
gard, president of Reed College, Port
land, Ore, who proposed it. Twice
before he had ignored Stassen chal-
lenges to debate.
This time Dewey set the issue
Shall the Communist Party Be Out
lawed." He also suggested a nation
wide broadcast.
In his town-to-town campaigning,
Dewey has hammered at Stassen's
original proposal to outlaw Commu-
nism. He demanded, instead, that it
be kept in the open, under control.
The New Yorker declared that to out
law the Communist Party would be a
violation of American principles and
the Constitution.

Quotes

DIR. Letitia Fairfield, senior
medical officer of the London
County Council: "The very fu-
ture of the universe depends
upon our breeding a people so
able to control their instincts
and to regard the welfare of
others as well as of themselves,
that they can even overcome the
menace of the atom bomb"
Bishop G. Bromley Oman,
Methodist, of New York: Under
the guise of fighting communism,
reactionary forces in American
life appear willing to ally them
selves with fascism."

whose convictions for peace and how
to maintain it were forged during
two world wars. Some were in exile
from homelands in the grip of a new
aggressor.
Churchill is an old advocate of in
ternational unity. In 1892, he said:
The conception of United States of
Europe is right. Every step toward
that end >. is good in itself"
During the war, as British prime
minister, he renewed his plea. He
called for a Council of Europe with a
high court to adjust disputes and
power to prevent renewed aggression
and preparation for future wars.
There was an air of crusade about
the Hague sessions this week. Church
Ill told a cheering crowd of 10000 at
an outdoor address in Amsterdam:
I'VE are trying to take a step for

governments, to revive the old glory
of Europe.
1T must be a Europe in which men
will be proud to say, I am a Eu-
ropean, where men of every country
will think as much of being a Eu-
ropean as of being a citizen of their
own country"
Churchill urged delegates to plead
with their home governments to Gre

place as an independent and self-sup-
porting part of a world organization.
He warned that territorial ambi-
tionS and national rivalries must be
set aside if the objective is to be at

sounds they can hear.
Heart sounds range from 10 to 800
vibrations per second. The human ear
cannot hear any below 80, and to be
audible at 80 they must be loud.
Murmurs may be due to damage to
the heart. Or they may be due to
other causes not serious at all. In
children especially they may be heard
in perfectly sound hearts. It's often
vital to know whether they do mean
organic trouble, and whether a child
should avoid strenuous play.

The investigation was sponsored by
the American Heart Association with
financial support of the us. Public
Health Service. It involved 1000 pa
tients in II US. hospitals.
The drugs used principally are the
anti-coagulants dicumerol and he
parin. They tend to prevent blood
from clotting. Coronary thrombosis
is the formation of a blood clot in an
artery leading directly to the heart.
If the clot becomes big enough to shut
off all or most of the blood to the
heart, the sufferer dies.

LONDON, Spe.t 20. CAMP
Adelaide Hall, who has captured
the innermost citadel of the en-
tertaining world in Europe, is re-
turning to America on the Queen
Mary after an absence of 13 years.
Her chief visit to America is to
see he mother and to collect tai
ent for the spectacular London
production which she is going to
stage within the very near future.
Clarence Robins, the producer
with whom she has been commune
eating, will return with her to
London to produce the show.
The book has been written by
and English woman whose repu-
tation is high in the literary world.
Spencer Williams has written the
music and there is good reason to
believe that there are some inter
esting song hits among the num-
bers.
An outstanding feature about
the production is that ADELAIDE
Hall intends to beautify the col
ored girl in London, hence she is
going to make a careful selection
of the type of girl that possesses
umph and seductive allure. In
other words, the type that would
break up a monestary. In this re-
spect Adelaide can't go wrong
because colored girls are at a pre-.
MUM in Europe.
Adelaide Hall needs rest be
cause the past 10 years she has
been appearing everywhere il
England. But nevertheless if /;
dangling and bait is cast befor'
her during her stay in America
she would not refuse.
Adelaide Hall is an artist O
t~ranscending genius. The loft,
spirituality that shines through al
of the songs she sings; her en-
chanting sweetness of tone; an
her inherent nobility and breat
of style, have established a stand
ard in England which all .othe

Eniwetok and Secrecy

It Is typical of our dangerous age that
we can be told no more at this stage than
that IAN atomic weapon" has been tested
at Eniwetok Atoll, the recently developed
proving ground in the Pacific.
In making the announcement, our
Atomic Energy Commission has left every
thing else to speculation. The nature OF
the weapon-whether an improved bomb,
a radioactive gas or some kindred instru-
ment of mass Observation-Disclosures secret
for the present. So, too, does the nature
of the test itself No hint is offered. Even
the date of the event is blacked out.
All this contrasts sharply with what
happened in the summer OF 1916. At that
time the spectacular Bikini experiments
were wide open to the eyes OF the world.
But the international situation has
changed markedly for the worse since
then. The times are much more suspicion
ridden now. Peace hopes are considerably
DINNER. And common sense makes it
unpleaSantly necessary to enshroud a
place like Eniwetok in secrecy and to
declare the waters around 1t closed to
everybody but small group Of Americans
with special credentials.
As free people accustomed to full and
uncensored information, we may find these
new restrictions distastefully novel and out
of key with our traditions. But the atom
Is awesomely revolutionary, and 1t requires
circumspection OF the most careful kind
In the world we have now. It obliges us,
for our own safety, to delegate to few
among us the authority to decide what we
should or should not be told about 1t.
Although there is check on it in Congress,
this is very great power to give to any
body in a democracy, but 1t Is essential
from the standpoint of national security.
For the simple fact is that ii we did
not impose censorship on ourselves regard
ing A-weapons, If we insisted on being told
everything about them, then potential
enemy, keeping his own atomic activities
in the dark, would be receiving aid and
comfort from us OF q kind that could be
our undoing. 1t Is true, of course, that
rival iron curtains In this field serve to
intensity suspicious and accelerate the
nuclear armaments race. But it Is folly
to suggest that we should operate in the
full light of day while the Soviet Union
cloaks itself in secrecy and persistently
illustrates the desire of every other power
to establish effective world control.
There are no two ways about It, As long
as the Russians pursue their present course,
we shall have to keep a veil drawn across
what our country is doing at Eniwetok and
elsewhere in developing the atom for mill
tary purposes. This Is simply making the
best of bad situation No matter how
bleak 1t may seem as policy, our national
safety makes it mandatory in a world Of
grim realities.

English. Speaking Union

To the Editor OF The Star:
Seeing that the United Nations with Com
m,lnist Russia and her perpetual veto inside)
gives far less promise of preserving freedom
and peace than we earnestly had hoped. we
should think about the following: The ef1ec-
tive strength Of the United Nations is, as far
as the democratic world goes simply the
strength Of the English speaking world. Take
this strength from the U. N, and 1t will fall
more utterly than the old League.
But there is no reason why Russia should
hold any veto power whatever over the effective
unity of the great English-speaking world
This English-speaking world can, and should
find effective unity entirely outside the neces-
sarily cumbersome U. NJ, where nobodys veto
could break it up or render it sterile. Such
unity need not conflict with the U. N. But II
there must be a choice between the United
English Speaking Peoples and the nominally
United Nations, which would do most good for
the cause of world freedom?
Assuredly, the great English-speaking peo-
pies, who certainly have done most to cradle
and extend human liberty, and to defend 1t
in its times of direst peril, are the peoples
whose unity would mean most to all freedom

Stomp and Coin Resolutions

The Postmaster General is swamped
with demands for new stamps, and the
Director of the Mint reports a tidal
wave OF requests for new coins With
regard to postal issues, the appeals are
coming from the publicity representatives
Of different industrial organizations, tour
list agencies and similar pressure groups.
The method used by these promoters is
to persuade members of Congress to intro
duce resolutions making mandatory the
commentaries" they want. Thus the
cheese makers and the poultry raisers OF
the Nation are to be advertised, the volun-
teer firemen honored, the tourist camps
In the neighborhood of Gettysburg are
to be filled with customers attending a
celebration of the eighty-flfth anniversary
of Lncoln's famous Address, If bills calling
for these adhesives are passed and signed.
A few days ago President Truman vetoed a
requisition for stamp for the centenary
of the arrival of Swedish pioneers In the
Middle West.
But the agitation for such labels Is
not ended by executive disapproval. When
the President, last year, frowned on the
manufacturing of half dollars for special
purposes, the practice of asking for coins
for limited circulation was not stopped.
On the contrary, the number of requests
has increased in the past few months. An
eight-cent piece is desired by the subway
companies in New York in anticipation of
raise in fares. Other suggestions now
under consideration may result In new
