This Changing World ~
Recognition of Spain Seen Soon to Prevent
Occupation of All Europe by Russians

were seriously thinking about re-
storing the monarchy, became
angered at the interference Of the
U. N. in their domestic affairs,
and particularly irked by the fact
that the U. N. refused to accept
Spain among the peace-loving ma
tions.
Moreover, 1t became clear to the
Spaniards that the whole thing
was a Soviet plot i1yended to cause
another civil war-which would
have exhausted Spain completely
and placed her behind the Iron
Curtain. They rallied around Gen.
Franco more than ever, and ac-
cepted the snub. Ell Caudillo's posi-
ton has never been stronger than
since the official withdrawal Of the
U. N. members diplomats from
Madrid.
Franco Retains Control.
Nearly two years after the q. N.
members-except Argentina-with-
drew their mission chiefs from Ma
drid conditions in Spain have not
changed insofar as Gen. Franco
is concerned.
France, which at that time had
Communists in key positions in the
government, not only broke off Dip
lomatic relations with Spain, but
also economic ties and closed her
frontier to all traffic including trav-
elers, mail and goods.
Spain survived economically. Her
economy was somewhat handi-
capped by the lack Of hard cur
rency, however, anc by the neces-
sity of paying cash for all imported
essentials. Eventually, however, Brit
ain started dealing with Spain
and imported some Of her citrus
fruit and copper. The United States
continued its trade on q strictly
ash-and-carry basis.
1t dawned eventually on the
Western governments that Gen.
Frances rule in Spain was nowhere
near as obnoxious as that Of Stain,
Tito and other Politburo puppets.
The principal purpose OF Gen.
Frances continued dictatorship
was to prevent a small Communist
minority established in France
from entering the country and To-
menting another civil war.
The military situation created by
the U. s. S. r. in Europe made it
obvious that all the forces which
are determined to oppose the Com
munist drive to the Atlantic must
be gotten together. Spain has a
strategic position which makes her
less vulnerable to the Soviet armies
than the rest Of Western Europe.
In the event Of an all-out Russian
attack on Western Europe Spain
could become an important center
of resistance. These considerations,
which have formed the object of
protracted discussions between the
western governments. have led to
the conclusion that normal rela-
tions with Spain must be resumed
soon.

QTllG UOWdTQ WdT. b"ris reoso"'
The President replied with a long
TRADE against the Russians. He did
not discuss her proposals nor are
there any indications that they have
been considered.
Mrs. Roosevelt wrote Secretary of
State Marshall in similar vein and
received a similarly unsatisfactory
reply.
Hence her statements to the party
leaders who have been anxiously
beating a path to her door: LAS of
now cannot support Mr.. Truman"
Course Has Changed.
The form and timing of Mrs
Roosevelt's political action awaits
the march of events. Only a few
weeks ago she was discussing the
possibility Of devoting herself to her
U. N. tasks and holding aloof from
the presidential campaign. While
her doubts about the President
were mounting, she was still saying
that she could not yet tell what she
might do.
Recent developments, notably the
reversal on the partition Of Pales-
tine with its deNdly blow to u N.
have ruled out that course. Mrs
Roosevelt now is opposed in prin-
ciple to the administration and
she has offered to resign her U. N
post if the President and Secre-
tary Marshall find her an embar-
rassment. And having parted from
Evening star., 1948-03-29
Mrs. Roosevelt Decides
Stands With Franklin and Elliott
For Eisenhower Instead of Truman

the White House on principle, the
political decision was not difficult.
Thus 1t becomes a practical Ger
tainty that the South and the
northern liberals can count on the
family of the late President to
join their fight against Mr.. Tru-
mans denomination. Son James,
State Chairman of California, is
still keeping the lid on there, but
he has sent word they cannot hold
a congressional seat with the Presi-
dent at the top of the ticket.
Daughter Anna. now an Arizona
publisher, is unusually close to her
mother and in sympathy with her
political views. The youngest son,
John, Is not politically active.
With all his ample warnings there
Is no evidence that the President
tried to hold the Roosevelt support
for his reelection. Mr.. Truman
likes to say that he won't play
politics and his kitchen cabinet
repeats it virtuously. But under
our system he also is head of his
party and If he is to be successful
his party must understand, support
and defend his policies. That Job
he is not doing either in Congress
or throughout the States.
New Leader Sought.
AS the defections increase, the de-
mands increase too for a new leader
to unity the party and save it for
another day even If defeat Is in
evitable in November.
Can the Democrats get Eisen-
hover? Probably not. The general
will hardly step down to save a
party he could conceivably be
drafted if an emergency exists when
the national convention meets. AS
the Gridiron song had the general
saying: "Ask me in June. you have
asked me too soon, ask me, ask me
again" More Eisenhower talk now
many observers feel, will only bring
new rebuff from the general and
make it less easy for him to change
his mind later.
What the Roosevelts are 80 keenly
aware of is that Henry Wallace Is
counting on Democratic collapse in
'48 so that he can take over the
northern, western and big city fac.
tions in 81 This they want te
avoid with a candidate who car
give Wallace q real fight now.

Eight Scholarships Opened
To Germans, Austrians
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, Mar 29.-Eight teach
er education leaders from Europe
will be given one year scholarships
for study and observation in the
United States.
Plans to give scholarships to six
educators from Germany and two
from Austria were announced today
by the American Association of Col
leges for Teacher Education.
DR.. Walter E. Hager of Washing
ton, head of the association, said the
project was arranged with the
Rockefeller Foundation which pro-
vided a grant of $4,000 because
educational rehabilitation in these
countries is essential to their be-
coming good members of the inter-
national community"
The announcement was made at
The close of three-day meeting of
IS officers and committee members
of the association.

curtain make IL constantine Brown
futile to snub Spain officially any
further. In 1946 Russia, backed by
France and to a certain extent by
Britain, demanded, in order to OBJ
literate the last traces Of Dictator
ship in the world, that Gen. Fran
cisco Franco should be removed
from Spain and liberal" govern
ment established as soon as possible.
The Soviet representatives in the
U. N. were not particularly clear
about how this should be done. But
the implication was that force
should be used, If necessary. The
American Government was willing
to comply with any formula, regard
less of where it originated, provided
permanent peace could be estab-
lished in the world. But 1t SHE'D
away from the use of force and the
creation Of another disturbed zone.
New Civil War Seen.
It was evident to the American
observers that If Gen. Franco were
to be removed by a popular move,
inspired from outside, there would
be bloodshed and another civil war
in Spain. Similarly, 1t was the
opinion of the American Govern
ment that an economic blockade
an alternative proposed by France
and supported by the U. s. s. r. and
her satellites-would inflict unnec-
essary hardships on the rank and
file of the Spanish people.
AS still another course, to in
dicate to the people Of Spain that
the Franco dictatorship was not
pleasing to the members of the
U. N, the United States proposed
a resolution pledging the members
of that world organization to with
draw their chiefs of mission from
Madrid. 1t was expected that such
snub would make clear to the
Spaniards that they should demand
elections and the departure of Gen
Franco.
This mild resolution boomeranged
The Spanish people, who up to
that time had shown indications OF
discomfort with their leader and

read it until your eyes get tired and
you won't see my name. You'll see
the names Of Gen. Eisenhower,
Danny Kaye, Senator Vandenberg,
Gardner Cowles, Winthrop Rookie
feller and others, but not mine.
1t isn't fair. Why should Senator
Vandenberg be listed? No one will
deny that the Senator from Michi-
gan is great American, potent
force in world affairs, but he does
wear cigar ashes on his lapels and
vest. If man is going to be listed
as one Of the best-dressed men just
because he is untidy with his cigar
ashes, well, I have an uncle who
could spot the field two Panatellas
and win in a walk.
AS for Mr. Rockefeller, with whom
7 served in the 77th Division in the
much-too-recent war, I had the
pleasure of having cocktails with
him and his lovely wife few days
ago. Do you know what Mrs. Rookie
feller was doing when I came to
call? Darning Winthrops socks.
Seems that he has a tendency to
wear out the heels.
Do you think I wear darned
socks? No. AS long as drugstores
sell smart, bright numbers, with
clocks up their sides, three pairs
for a buck, I'll never wear darned
socks. You can't beat Walgreen's,
Liggett's, and the United Cigar
Stores as haberdashers. The clerks
know me.
"Give him a pair Of socks and a
package of Murads," the clerks say
when I walk in.
defy any Of the 10 dressed
men to have as many outfits as I
have. I am prepared for any oc-
casion. Bet you money that Gen.
Eisenhower, No. / on the list, doesn't
have a suitable outfit for weiner
roasts. He probably would have to
use an old battle jacket, or some
thing slightly worn from arguing
with Churchill, De Gaulle, Mont
gomery, or King George. AS for
myself, I have the latesta in weiner
roast suits-one dotted with mus
tard -colored spots so that real mus
tard spots won't show.
Gardner Cowles is the press
best-dressed man, according to the
tailors. I happen to know about Mr..
Cowles' shoes, anyway. For upwards
of 20 years he wore the same pair
of shoes that he had purchased
when a student at Exeter. They
had been resoled so much that he
had to lace the soles-there were
no uppers left. As for my shoes,
they catch the eye. Bright yellow,
and full of punched ventilation
J holes, they are attractive to the
, eye, and remind one of the pair
that President Truman sported on
his way to Potsdam.
As for my collection Of sleeve
holders, none Of the men listed can
even approach 1t. I have grey,
snap-rubber ones for dark days, gay
red ones for a day Of sport in the
country, and somber black ones for
evening and mourning wear.
AS for ties, I'll bet Danny Kaye
doesn't have a genuine leather one
to wear when motorcycling.
But you see my point. could
20 on forever about my wardrobe.
I. only trust that next year the
|, tailors of America will see fit to
honor me as I should be honored.
