A Short Short Story

" man of Grainbelt City, Mimi, and
Edna, his placid. middle-aged wife, liked to
stay home better than anything. Night after
night they sat happily in their snug little
bungalow. Their mild blue eyes twinkled
behind their bifocals as they looked around
them and saw the good, sturdy furniture and
the numerous gadgets that made housekeep-
ing simple and living gracious. Improve
ments," they called these gadgets, and their
greatest pleasure was to install new i'm
provement. 1t was pleasure they expert
enced often; the local appliance dealer had no
better customers than George and Edna.
They loved their home 50 much that they
even spent their vacations there 1t was, in
fact, during vacation that they had their
windfall.
They were sitting in their living room one
night and twinkling. Perspiring just trife

said Edna, do you think we could afford an

washing machine, the deep freezer, the electric
juicer, the electric floor waxer, the outdoor
grill, and the television SET
That's right" Edna said sadly.
lHEY sat in an absorbed silence dreaming
of house equipped with every conceivable
gadget - house that would be living rep
resentation of the atomic age. A simultaneous
wistful sigh was interrupted by the sharp
peal of the electric doorbell. George hoped
up to open the door and admit Western

For more Air Power
Cincinnati Enauirerl


Our military planning just now has very prac-
tical purpose And should be addressed to the avoid
ance of war-or at the worst, the quickest possible
preparedness for trouble.
President Truman's special message to Congress,
asking for immediate appropriation of 600
for expansion of the Armed Forces is logical step in
our military planning. more logical step, we might
say than the espousal of universal military training
Our main hope at the moment is to convince the
rulers of Russia that it would be dangerous for them
to continue their policy of expansonism and becosy
We aren't too likely to impress them with the i'm
mediate training of half-grown men-not Russia, a
land where man power is as the gains of wheat in a
field However, the building of air force superior
to their own might be very different matterand the
final cost in dollars and effort, may be no more
than is contemplated under universal military training
mot to be confused with resumption of selective
service to meet the minimum needs of our present
military establishment
The $750000000 appropriation asked by President
Truman is not the full bill for adequate air force
however Congressional estimates of the cost of build
ing resent Air Force from SIS groups to 70 groups
has ranged around 81 5000 OO0that figure in addi
ton to the budgets regular allowances The funds
asked by President Truman would provide the money
for early beginning the expansion program. And

HORSE TRADING WITH
ARGENTINA

One of the baldesu pieces OF in
ternaticnal horse trading on record
was concluded at Bogota when the
U. S. delegation helped Argentina
keep the rights of man" resolution
out of the American Pact, in
return for the latter's agreement
to go along with a vaguely word
ed "anti-subversive" declaration.
Ever since the Chapultepec con-
ference in l945, the Pan American
Unions juridicial division, follow
ing out resolutions adopted at that
meeting, had been preparing two
vitality important measures for
consideration at Bogota. One COW
cred the rights and duties of
states" the other the rights Of
man"-that is, the individual citi-
zen's rights to civil liberty and
personal freedom.
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1948-04-29

the State Department has put
across in some time.
Another factor was Ambassador
Dunn's insistence that the Ameri-
can fleet get out of italian wat
ers. Some of the military men
around the White House didn't
like this advice, thought the fleet
should remain. But Dunn argued
that its presence gave political
ammunition to the Communists.
He was right. The fleet was with
drawn, and the Commies had to
pipe down.
One thing which nearly upset the
applicant was the amendment by
Congressman O'Konski of Wiscon-
IN making Marshall Plan money
available to Spain. Until this was
reversed in the Senate it had a
bad backfire in Italy.
Note when this writer was
in Italy last winter, he travelled
with Ambassador Dunn and Vice
Premier Pacciardi to Naples to
welcome the Friend Sh }. Per-
haps these were the two most in
congrous people in Italy to be
thrown together. for, during the
Spanish Civil War, Dunn was lined
up on the side of Franco, while
Col Pacciardi commanded the
italian anti-FaSciSt troops in
Spain fighting against Franco.
Both, however, have now been
working together in the belief that
extremists of either the right or
left are enemies of italian demo-
cracy

mind a promotion Tor Ambassador

services are too important in

and Chiles lead. favored such a
declaration criticizing Russian
Communism. But, like the question
of breaking relations with the Axis
in 1912, unanimity was needed to
make it effective. And once again
Argentina was the stumbling block.
She refused to criticize the Axis in
1912 and now she refused to criti-
CHE Russia in 1913.
This was when the amazing
horse trade began to be worked
out. On April Is, Assistant Secre-
tary of State Norman Armour
had long talk with Foreign Min
lister Bramuglia. The upshot was
an accord between the two govern
ments to support only the rights
and duties of states" proposal for
inclusion in the pact itself, leav-
ing the rights of man" clause to
be tackled en- as lame, ineffect-
ual supplementary declaration.
In return, Argentina agreed to
vote for a cautiously phrased reso-
luton condemning ''all subversive
action against the collective secur-
ity of the Western Hemisphere or
the national integrity of individual
American states" Communists
were not mentioned at all
The United Estates had backed
the rights Of man" proposal all
the way, up until this compromise.
1t was supposed to be the corner
stone of new deal for all people
of all the Americas. 1t was also
hoped that the United Nations
would follow with a similar mea-
sure
But guaranteeing the rights of
the individual doesn't agree with
Gen. Peron's ideas for running his
country. And getting Peron's APP

"FLETCPER Park"

But in San Diego, Fletcher has
not done so we'll by the people who
invested in his Federal Savings
and Loan Association. First, Fetch

a San Diego real estate opera
tor named Larry H. Imig, fo-
around $4,000 Then young Flet-
cher turned around and loaned
Imig the money which he Imig,
paid Fletcher's father for the land.
Following this, Imig erected a
housing development which he
named Fletcher Park" in honor
of the two gentlemen who sold
him the land and loaned him
other peoples money to pay for 1t.
Then Imig built another develop
ment which he named for him
self "Imig Park" plus swank
hotel with swimming pool and
night club which he named "Imig
Park Manor
Meanwhile, Imig kept borrowing
money from Fletchers Federal
Savings and loan Association, un-
til his debt now runs to around
,25O,000--or about one-half the
total assets CT the association.
If this were Fletcher's money, it
would be one thing. But what
worries the Home Loan Bank
Board in Washington is that the
U. S. Government has insured the
San Diego Federal Savings and
Loan Association and Uncle Sam
may have to bail Fletcher out

Now that the Italian elections

One factor which influenced Ital-

eventually turned down.
What wasn't known was that
