DRAFT BILL:
On the Way

Yielding to the pressure Of the
times, congress was putting its hand
gingerly to the business of passing
a selective service act which would
give the nations armed forces a
total manpoWer of slightly more than
two million in two years.
The house armed services commit
tee had approved the measure, after
hearing Defense Secretary James
Forrestal term it an excellent one,
and passed it on to the floor of the
house for debate.
Thus, for the first time since be-
fore the war, congress was facing
squarely the momentous issue of
national draft. That this was hap
pening during the hair-trigger days
of an election year only served to
underline the apparent urgency Of
the matter.
AS approved by the armed services
committee, the bill would:
Raise total authorized manpower
- of the armed forces to zoos, 882
army $4,000, air force $4,000.
navy and marine corps $685.
- Require registration of men
H. from Is through 80, with those
from 10 through Is liable for two
years service.
. Exempt most veterans from
- further service, but those under
81 would have to register.
"A Allow seizure of industrial plants
Il by the government if they re-
fused to give top priorities to arma-
ment orders.
AS it stood, the draft plan was
conceded to have good chance Of
passage at this session of congress.
But complications were being threat
ened by the senate armed services
committee which seemed inclined to
combine universal military train
ing measure with the draft bill.
The committee was waiting for
Army Secretary Kenneth Royal to
recommend details of bill to call
|161 900 18-year-olds for years train
ling. They would be taken in addi-
ton to men procured through the
draft.
AS combination, that didn't look
so good to many Republicans. Rep.
walter G. Andrews (Rep., N. ".
chairman of the house armed service
sconmittee, called the idea utterly
foolish, inconceivable and not called
Hor.'

.TERUSALEM:
Confused

Time was running out in Palestine,
and with it the hope for averting a
Jewish-Arab civil war for possession
Of Jerusalem.
In the waning days before Great
Britain removed her troops from the
Holy Land upon expiration of the
British mandate on May Is, Pales-
tine had become savagely con-
fused, moribund state.
Bitterly, the United Nations trus-
teeship council virtually abandoned
its efforts to devise an effective plan
to safeguard Jerusalem from ravish-
ment by the warning factions. Dele
gates could not hit upon scheme
that could be enforced.
Nor was any Arab-Jewish agree
ment in sight which might result in
truce necessary to give any U. N.
plan a chance. Like a little boy
watching his father trying to get his
kite out of tree, the council looked
hopefully to Jerusalem where the
Red Cross was doing it's best to
bring halt to the fighting.
AS far as the threatened invasion
of Palestine by neighboring Arab
states was concerned, no one seemed
able to sum up the situation accur-
ately.
Jews were insisting, in the face of
denials, that Syrian and Lebanese
armies had invaded northern Pa1es-
tine, and the British were reported
to have rushed troops back into the
country to deal with what they called
a seriously deteriorated' situation.
Still an unknown factor in the
rapidly climaxing events was willy
old King Abdullah of TRANSIT Jordan.
Commander of the finest army in
Arabia, the spike-helmeted Arab Lee
gion, he had been talking big about
invading Palestine from the East.
He had been talking, too, about MAX
ing himself king of Palestine.
Experts were not discounting the
role Abdullah and his power-politick-
ing could play in the drama. In the
end he could turn out to be the cat
alytic agent that might bring the I'M
regenerate events In Palestine to
reasonable, if not a happy, conclu-
sion.

THE BREAK /:
Colombia

Not quite a month after the abor-
tive revolution in April swept the
capital city of Bogota into turmoil
and caused damage throughout the
republic, the government Of Colom-
bia formally severed diplomatic re-
lations with Russia.
That the break was a direct result
Of the revolt, repeatedly Communist
led and inspired, no one bothered to
deny.
Officially, however, no mention
was made Of the uprising. Foreign
Minister Eduardo Angels note to the
Russian charge d'affaires said SIM
ply that Colombia considered that
there were no ties which warranted
a continuation of diplomatic and
consular relations between the two
countries.
In concordance with the diplomatic
action the Colombian government
began to redeploy its troops and re-
organize administrative machinery,
to strengthen its hold and prevent!
further outbreaks by Communists.
Leading members of the Cornnu-
mist party's central committee, both
national and departmental, were ar
rested.
1t began to look like a trend in,
Latin America. Last year Brazil
and Chile bluntly broke relations
with Russia. Now Colombia had fol-
lowed suit, and judging from the 8
political tone in other republics of
the hemisphere it was possible that
Moscow soon might lose other
acquaintance south Of the border. I

Clouds i'm the East

Amateur and professional mill
tary experts now are weighing the
pros and cons of war; in the Holy
Land. Palestine is completely en-
circled by Arab states except for
its Mediterranean coastline. Nu-
merals indicate estimated fighting
strength of the various Arab states.
Jewish forces in Palestine are said
to number about $4,000.

OLEO TAX:
Fight Ahead

One of the most pressing problems
members of congress have had to
decide this year is whether their po-
itical bread is spread with butter
or oleomargarine.
1t is further complicated by the
fact that they might, in choosing
one or the other, be letting the gravy
get away from them.
For good or ill, however, the house
OF representative made it's decision.
1t passed by vote of 26O to 106 a
bill to repeal all federal oleomarga-
rine taxes which have been on the
books for 62 years.
Those taxes are itemized as fol-
lows: 10 cents pound on colored
oleo, ia cent pound on untcolored,
$500 year on manufa cturers, $3.50
on wholesalers of co1ored oleo, 5000
on wholesalers of the unco1ored
product, $4S on retailers of colored
oleo and S. on retailers of uncolored.
Even if the federal taxes were re-
pealed, it still would be against the
law to sell colofed cleo in 20 states.
Nevertheless, the house had rid it.
self Of the matter and now it was up
to the senate, where a battle royal
was in prospect.
Reason the cleo tax issue has
stiff fight ahead in the senate is
that senator's are elected by voters
of entire states, rather than by vot-
ers of districts within the states as
are most representatives.
The result, in this case, is a split
in the sentiment of constituents of
many senators.
For example, big northern states
such as Illinois, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Ohio, are composed of con-
sumner cities and producer farms.
The country districts include dairy
farmers and soy bean growers. Con-
sumers in cities want: repeal of the
taxes, and so do the soy bean men
whose product is used in manufac-
ture of oleo. The dairy farmers,
naturally, want the taxi to remain.
The dairy interests are strong.
Their supporters in congress have
been able to retain tine cleo tax by
the simple process of shelving any
repeal bills in committee. It hap
pened to the current bill in the house
agricultural committee, but a petit
ton circulated AMONG house MEM.
bers forced the bill on to the floor
where it was approved.
1t is far from certain, however,
that similar tactics would hbe success
full in the senate. And there is a
good likelihood that the bill will not
get through the upper house, this
year at least.
