Washington - Political ex-
perts figure that Harold E. Stas-
sens new invasion of the south
has served to concentrate reg
ular' Republican opposition to
his nomination at the national
convention next month. Stas-
sen, with new Dixie headquart-
ers in Atlanta. Ga. is openly
out for southern delegates,
many of whom are regarded as
the property of Ohio's Senator
Robert A. Taft.
Anti-Stassen forces believe
the Minnesotan can be stopped
in his tracks by a concerted
drive. Stassen's raids" have
provided the incentive among
the other camps to gang up"
on him.
The payoff viii be in the ia
vorite SON. delegations-Penn-
sylvania, first ballot for Sena-
tor Edward Mortin; Illinois,
first ballot for Gov. Dwight
Greene, and California, first
ballot for Gov. Earl Warren.
The play will be to get these
three bumper delegations be-
hind a single presidential as
pirant, be he Thomas Dewey,
Taft, or a dark horse"
Secondary strength is Taft's
hope for the nomination. Dew
ey also counts on released "fa-
vorite son" delegations to give
him the necessary majority.
Should both fail, they are de-
termined to take Stassen down
with them, and to throw the
nomination to someone, such as
Senator Arthur II. Vandenberg
of Michigan, or House Speaker
Joe Martin of Massachusetts,.
Teeth Pulling In Anti-Hed Bill
A strong attempt will be
made in the House to amend
the new Observation-Disclosures
control bill by outright banning
Of the Communist party in the
limited States.
The House un-American ac-
tivities committee decided
against outlawing the party
when serious doubts arose as
to the constitutionality of such
: law.
Members expect to have a
difficult time, however, in keep
ing such an amendment out of
the bill II it is offered during
consideration, which is expect
ed soon.
The bill is expected to win

The Cost OF Preparedness

The Cost OF Preparedness
Russia's failure to cooperate
with her allies in the late war
in the United Nations, the eff
fort for world peace, and overt
acts of aggression. is not only
causing mental anguish but is
costing the taxpayers of Amer
lea many dollars.
Because of Russia's i'll behav-
ior in the family of nations,
Great Britain, France, and the
United States, all of whom are
wearied of war, and whose peo-
pie would like to turn their eff
forts to world peace and their
resources to the rebuilding of
their economies, are now being
forced to bend these efforts and
resources in an effortsto build
up their defenses against a pos
sible aggression by their for
mer ally, Russia. Both Britain
and France, of course, were
much harder hit, and their
economies suffered more than
did the American. Yet both of
these nations r nov forced
to burden their already over
burdened people and economies
in building up their armies and
ornaments. The United States
will have expended, by July
LIST of this year, nearly IL bill
lion dollars for this purpose.
For the fiscal year ending June
80, l949 this figure will be up,
according to present schedules,
to 13 billion dollars. Most of
this increase will 60 into in
creasing the personnel of the
Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Modern. airplanes are a far cry
from the early planes of World
War II. In fact, a modern
bomber costs almost as much
as a Navy destroyer did a few
years ago. Much of this increase
will 60 into u air forces. The
plans call for 2727 air force
planes and 1925 navy planes.
The breakdown on this calls for
905 transport planes, 247 of the
latest type bombers, 1875 jet
fighters, all for the air forces,
while the navy, under the same
program, will get some 200 pa
troll, sis carrier base bombers,
and 800 fighter-type planes. APP
proximately half of these planes
will be of the jet type. AS huge
as these expenditures seem they
will possibly be considerably
larger next year if the interna-
tional situation should become
further aggravated.
The tragedy and irony of all
of this is that 1t is all necessi-
tated by the conduct of a for
mer ally for whom America
did SO much in the late war
when Hitler and his legions
were within striking distance
of Moscow.

the rural areas of our own coun-
ty have much to be thankful
for. II has meant the bringing
of electrical energy to rural Sec
tions which could never hope
for the service except through
such q cooperative operation.
It has meant a tightening of
farm work and has increased
both the comfort and standard
of rural living. 1t has also
meant much to electrical ap-
pliance dealers in the urban
areas of the section in the con-
tinuous opening of new mar
kets for their products. It
has proven a vital service and
one that deserves the whole
hearted backing of both those
citizens receiving directly the
benefits, and those who bene-
fit indirectly, for the growth
of the cooperative can lay the
foundation for an increased ru-
raj prosperity that will be re-
Elected throughout the entire
economy of the area.
Jackson county was the first
county in the United States to
have all rural schools electri-
fled under the REA program,
and at present ranks high in
the nation in the proportionate
number of families served by
the association. In addition a
number of sizeable industries
in the area are served. All this
is a record to be proud of and
reflects the efforts and sin
cerety of both the management
and the directors of the Coop
erative. To both we wish an
other nine years on continued
expansion and service to our
rural people.
We see by the newspaper
headlines that the president and
the Republican controlled Con-
gress are in a row over who
is the worst. Frankly, we'd
call it a draw and let it go at
that.
Senate President Arthur H.
Vandenberg charges his fellow
Republicans in the GOP-con-
trolled House with 'cynicism'
in their approximate rs percent
cut in the European Recovery
program. The House, of course,
passed the program by a heal
thy majority but the House APP
propriations Committee, head
ed by Congressman Taber, ve-
toed the action of the full Con-
gress by appropriating approx
imately two billion less than
the program called for. Indi-
cations are now that the Re-
publicans are in a mood to sup
port the committee cut, de-
spite the plea of the state de-
partment and Senator Vanden-
berg. This action is in keep
ing with the Republican drive
to hamstring the reciprocal
trade acts, their killing of a
bill to give federal subsidy to
housing for low income groups
and veterans, and their do-noth-
ing approach to runaway
prices and inflation
"A bill has been introduced in
Congress which would appro-
pirate 100000 for fisheries
research in the Gulf Coast area.
Such a bill constitutes an intel
ligent and long range approach
towards the use of a natural
resource for the benefit of a
large segment of the popula-
ton. A half million dollars
spent in such research, would re-
suit in many millions of dollars
in increased revenues to citi-
zens of the area and at the same
time open avenues of sane use
of natural resources, instead of
the reckless exploitation that
we so often see.

little chance of final passage
and probably will die with the
expiration of the present Con-

Reason is that virtually the
only enthusiasm for the legisla-

lican leaders in the Senate have
not reserved a place for the
bill on their legislative sched-
ule and there seems to be little
likelihood that they will.
Senate Cool On Hoffman
Measure
The House support for the
bill grows out of the resent
ment of several House leaders,
both Republican and Democrat
ic, over the refusal of President
Truman to supply information
they desire.
The most noteworthy instance
of this kind was the refusal of
the president to surrender the
letter of FBI Director j. Edgar
Hoover on the loyalty of DR..
Edward u. Condor, head of the
Bureau of Standards. The bill
did not result from this contro-
versy, but much of the House
support derived from il.

The production of Bizet's Car
men" last night in the Roosevelt
Auditorium, marking the debut OF
the Columbia Light Opera Co. in
grand opera, was crowned with
success. Under the inspired direc-
ton of Ethyl Manning, its founder,
and assisted by two guest artists,
Coe Glade and Ernest Lawrence, in
the key roles, the excellence of the
ensemble came near realizing the
long entertained hope for a local
grand opera. The chorus, made up
of young and comely people, sang
and acted with the confidence and
ease Of seasoned singers. 1t exceeded
by far in size that of operate groups
that have appeared here in the past.
With scenery creating the illusion
of space and with colorful costum :,
ing and an effective mise-en-scence,
the performance moved along
smoothly in truly professional
manner.
At the end OF the first act, Harry
Wender, representing the District
Commissioners, invited Mrs. Man
ming to the stage, and read aloud

The citation which commended
Mrs Manning for her artistic ability,
her high personal character and Tor
the invaluable service she rendered
70 the community and to some
$500 young people whom she had
trained for the stage during the
years Of her activity, came as
surprise to Mrs. Manning Overcome
by emotion, her response was mace
In a few words.
Miss Glade, nationally famous for
her impersonation of Carmen and
heard here number of times with
the San Carlo Co., sang her part
in English with a clarity Of diction
matched bv all members Of the cast.
Known for the authenticity OF her
gestures, she has the unusual glft
of being able to vary them from
one performance to another, adapt
ing them this time to the English
text. Her singing of the "Habanera
and of the "Seguidilla" was as Sc
ductive as ever, although at times,
due to the amplification, the voice
sounded somwhat shrill.
Mr.. Lawrence scored a marked
success with his singing Of the aria
in the second act. His vibrant tenor
voice has a lovely, healthy quality
which was effective also in his duet
with Micaela, impersonated by
Maria de la Hull. Petite and attrac-
tive. the young soprano proved to
be one of the best-looking Micaelas
seen anywhere on the stage. Her
voice was equal to the demands IN
the aria and her acting bore the
stamp of experience at all times.
Amelia Shorday as Frasquita and
Mary Vagnoni as Mercedes were
well cast for their parts, animated
In action and vocally competent.
