Weekly Letter
BY J. Z. Jones

WASHINGTON, d. Cy-The real
battle for control of the policies OF
the American government was for
mally opened at the reconvening OF
congress on November II. The presi-
dent of the United States and the
congress seem to be locked in a
deadly battle. When F. d. Roosevelt
was President he was able to bring
Congress to terms on most any issue
that he stood for. Roosevelt could put
the Truman plan across if he were
alive. Truman will be forced to COM
promise with Congress on hard terms
that will white down the costs of
the Marshall Plan.
Now, the above statement is not
reflection on President Truman. 1t
is simply a comment to the effect
that he is not a boss end a dictator
which is something to commend.
So what's going to happen? Most
newspaper reporters and editors
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1948-01-01

seen a great many Bucks on the
streets of New York without even a
thought that they were "ubique,
| everywhere" That seemed to re-
viye my emotional feeling of won
der, as l proceeded to dash through
the story about the ubiquitous"
Buick which in the beginning was
"the Doctors car that became the
darling of the new upper-middle
masses" and which now expects to
win third place in total auto sales.
Some day in 1948 l may own one
| of those new models which will be
rich in what the manufacturers re-
fuse to even mention in the same
BREATH with their predecessor
because "when better Bucks are
| built, Buick will build them" The
new cars will be wider, the center
of gravity lower, the front vision
exceptional, and the TRANSMISSION
precision and system so perfect that
the gear clicks will be silent on the
| Roadmaster model as the car moves
from n speed to another.
"The morning gives us wings to
! sail through the day." and this yarn
| shows how a sleepy start can De
changed into a nice day.
Ready For the Showdown
The wheels of Congress are rolnng
again. Apparently President Truman
and Congress will not agree on any
to pull Europe out Oh ns
hole. Senator Taft and other strong
men in Congress disagree with Mr.
Truman. !.
A large number of Senators and
| Representatives have toured Europe
during the last few months and un-
less all indications prove false the
Republican majority in the Senate
and House will rise up to oppose un-
limited European aid as it has been
| outlined by the President.
The personal views OF Senators
| and Representatives-especially IN
| the Republican party-have already
been made known. They are prepar-
| ing to cut down costs by one-half.
So, there you are-and the chances
are that the outflow of money and
! goods from the United States Gov
eminent will eventually be put on a
/ basis of continued relief-from time
to time-as long as it is needed by
our European chums.
Building Costs
The high cost of building is still
getting more costly. Material costs
are up nearly 95 per cent. In fact
| everything in connection with build
ing is on the up-and-up. And the 1910
cost of a five thousand dollar house
is now double that figure.
Margarine Tax
Ever since margarine has been
manufactured and put on the marker
it has been subjected to the punish
ment of what we now call "a sales
tax" and that is so inclusive that it
boosts the price of margarine to the
retail stores and to all their custom
ers.
But in recent years, especially dur
ing World War II, margarine has be-
come a general substitute for butter.
The Congress still continues to i'm
pose a ten-cent tax on colored mar
parine. There is no reason whatever
for this discrimination in view OF
the fact that in recent years the De-
partment of Agriculture and the Am
erican Labor Association have def
nitely defended margarine as
nutritious and helpful food.

Army Paper in Reich
Accused Of Red Tinge
By the Associated Press

Representative Dondero, Republic
can, OF Michigan told the House yes
'terday "pro-Soviet, pro-Communist
and anti-American material is
printed in Stars and Stripes, Army
newspaper published in occupied
Germany.
Whether this is the result of
sheer stupidity or the Vaccinations
of a Communist clique in the Amer
lean Military Government, or both,
is for our Department of the Army
to find out and act upon he said.
He detailed stories, cartoons,
headlines and picture captions to
which he objected. Among them
was a page-1 story telling of
Czechoslovakia's withdrawal from
the Marshall Plan Conference last
summer by unanimous consent of
all parties of the National Front
government"
Mr.. Dondero' said no indication
was given that this National Front
| is Communist-d dominated"
Among other samples were story
of a CLIO attack on the Taft Hart
ley Labor Act, a cartoon unfavor-
able to the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee and IAN insult
ing allusion' to Mrs. Duarte de
Peron, wife of the President OF
Argentina.
Mr.. Dondero said Stars and
Stripes also printed stories about
Soviet charges of United States i'm
perialism and OF American espion-
age efforts in Russian-dominated
areas without attempting to refute
them.

Service Country Club
Studies Possibility Of
Moving Out Farther

The Board of Governors Of the
Army-Navy Country Club has APP
pointed a committee to study the
practicability of moving the club to
a new location, but the project Is In
a 'nebulous'' state, club officials
stated today.
Rear Admiral John w. Roper,
president, emphasized that no def
mite proposal had been submitted to
the membership and said the COM
mittee was empowered only to ex-
.plore the market. He explained the
board wanted to find out whether
sale Of the present Arlington County
property would realize enough to re-
establish the club farther from the
city.
A. H. Brooks, Arlington real estate
man, indicateds however, definite
deal was being considered. He
would not give details but said he
might have something further to say
''in about 10 days.
Admiral Roper said he knew
nothing of Mr.. Brooks interest In
the matter.
There has been talk among the
members for some time about find-
ing new SITE" he said. THE State
of Virginia is taking some of our
land for the widening of Glebe
road Part Of the golf course isn't
even owned by the club. It's leased.
Some of the members have feared
this would be rezoned for apart
ments and we'd have apartments on
the golf course"
3 Comdr. r. H. Northwood, treas
urer, said the club had been holding
an option for several months on
40O-acre tract south of Alexandria
owned by Robert L. May, bus line
operator.
Naturally, a necessary first step
would be to find a place to CO." he
said.
obviously, we couldn't consider
selling the club until we had found
place to move"

Keefe Modifies Stand
On Proposal for Negro
Doctors al GaIIinger
By Thomas 6. Buchonon

Representative Keefe, Republican
of Wisconsin today modified the
stand he took on the House floor
Wednesday on the proposed accept
ance Of Negro doctors at Gallinger
Hospital
He made it plain he Is in favor OF
assigning colored doctors to white
patients, except when individuals
strongly object.
In his verbal clash with Repre-
sentative Rankin this week, MIR
Keefe challenged the Mississippi
Democrats statement that the Fed
eral Security Agency is "likely to
bring race trouble" by forcing
white persons to receive medical care
from the Negro staff members,
Wednesdays Statement.
Cali that has ever been suggested,
he told the House Wednesday, was
that the colored segregated sections
of Gallinger Hospital be opened for
clinical purposes to the students and
doctors of Howard University. =
There has never been the slightest
suggestion at any time on any ones
part that there would be colored
physicians put out at Gallinger to
treat white patients"
In an interview today, he conceded
that his House statement was made
before he learned the details OF
Federal Security Administrator Os-
car r. Ewing's proposals to con-
ference of District officials and uni
kyersity leaders at George Washing
ton University on Saturday.
At this conference, Mr.. Ewing
whose agency is responsible for
the administration of Howard
University and for development OF
training opportunities for Negro
doctors throughout the country
urged that the Negro medical school
share with George Washington and
Georgetown Universities the pro-
vision of visiting staff to attend
Gallinger patients.
Rotation Proviso.
In all services operated in COM
mon, patients would be assigned to
each medical school in regular ro-
tation, according to order OF adj
mission, without regard to race.
Where violent objections were
raised by any patient at the pros
pect of being treated by member
of the opposite race, MI. Ewing de-
cleared, transfer would be arranged
But he said he did not believe ii
was in the public interest or sound
medical practice to establish gen.
eral segregation of service.
Representative Keefe, who is
chairman of the House Subcom-
mittee on Federal Security Agency
Appropriations, said he is 'in COM
plete accord" with Mr.. Ewing on
the rotation principle, which is
already in effect at Gallinger be-
tween the two white medical
schools.
The point he was trying to bring
out in his reply to Mr.. Rankin
he said, is that no one would be
forced" to accept a Negro ply
stefan under the Ewing proposal
He said he felt sure system could
be worked out with sufficient flex-
Utility to avoid the. race trouble
anticipated by the Mississippi Dem.
