This insult to the Freedom Train

White Man Bored

OKLAHOMA CITY-Oklahoma

groes, but still left unanswered
the more serious racial segrega-
ton problem. "can Negroes at

Dean Jerome e. Henry of the
newly created law school for Me-
groes at the state capital here
rejected the enrolment applica-
ton of Walter M. Harrison. 81,
Oklahoma newspaperman and ex-
Army officer.
Henry indicated Harrison's APP
plication could not be accepted
because of Oklahomas constitu-
tional provision of separate
schools for whites and Negroes.
No other applications have been
received for the school, which
was set up to comply with a
United States Supreme Court de-
cision ordering Oklahoma to
grant equal and immediate edu-
cational opportunities to Mrs.

PLANETARY:
Marian Life

After having given rise to much
idle speculation and phantasmago-
rial nonsense among recent genera
tons, one of the minor riddles of the
universe-whether life exists on the
planet Mars-fnally got a tentative
answer.
With scientific reticence, DR.. Ger
ard P. Kuiper, director of McDon-
aid observatory at Mt. Locke, Tex,
offered a timorous "Yes-maybe."
He made his disclosure after TAX
ing a peek at the red planet, aided
by a new-fangled infra-red spectre
graph.
But if there is life it exists in the
most primitive of forms.
DR.. Kuiper, aided by astronomers
from the Universities of Chicago
and Texas, came to the conclusion
that probably lichen, the hard,
moss-like growth found on rocks in
the U. S., was present on Mars.
Weather conditions, although cold
er than anything Earth knows,
would support such life, DR.. Kuiper
said. Studies have shown that the
temperature ranges from a few de-
grees above freezing to an esti-
mated 80-100 degrees below zero.
Mars, he added, evidently has
polar ice caps composed of wa
ter" However, the ice caps retreat
as much as 100 miles a day, indicat-
ing that they T very thin, possibly
not more than one-eighth of ar inch
thick. Climate of the planet resem-
bles "earth at an elevation of $4,000
feet" he explained.
One comforting deduction is to be
made from this latest scientific evil
dence: Anything resembling human
life, Dr. even such malevolent life as
H. G. Wells visualized, apparently
cannot exist on Mars. So stop fret
ting over those flying disks.

IRELAND:
New Premier

Even to members Of the Fire as
sembly who had helped defeat him
it was strange to see canon De
Valera, premier of Ireland for 16
years, sitting quietly on the opposite
side of the house as leader of the
opposition.
In his place as premier was John
A. Costello, former attorney gen.
eral, whom the assembly had voted
into office after a new six-party CO.
alition had taken control of the leg
islative group as a result of the
previous elections.
Costello, in a dignifed speech to
the assembly, explained his sudden
emergence as premier of Ireland:
81 consented to this nomination at
the request of a number of parties
who felt that the interest Of the
country required that there should
be an in~ter-party government and
that the premier of that govern
ment should occupy a position In
political life detached from the con-
troversial bitterness of the past"
The "inter-party government"
whose choice Costello was is COM
pounded of six political parties Of
apparently divergent ideals: Re-
publican, United Ireland, Labor, Ma
tional Labor, Independent and
Farmers.
Just how long a government
made up of so many diverse COM
ponents would last was the subject
of much speculation in Ireland. In
their present cooperative mood the
parties of the coalition may carry
on for a year or two, but few were
prepared to give the government a
much longer span of life.

BUDGET CUT:
Indifferent

With little discussion and a good
deal Of outright Indifference, the
senate adopted a resolution to cut
President Truman's fiscal 1949
budget by 2.5 billion dollars.
How much significance the SEN
ate resolution would have in the
final analysis was questionable, in
view of prevailing uncertainties
which might affect both sides of the
ledger.
The 2.5-billion-dollar reduction
would leave an estimated 10 billion
dollars for tax cuts and debt reduc-
ton. Republicans, therefore, were
feeling increasingly confident that
an income tax slash of up to 5 bill
lion dollars could be enacted.
Brevity of the senate discussion
and it's lack of apoplectic oratory
was in direct contrast to last years
strident contest over the budget
committees recommendation of a
6-billion-dollar cut in the 1913
budget. =
Democrats made no effort to
block the proposed spending slash
which had been recommended by
the h~ouse-senate budget committee.
1t still requires house adoption.
Biggest bug in the senate's budget
recommendation was the fact that
it probably embodied a number of
inaccurate estimates. Republican
sponsors of the measure admitted
that accurate estimates of budget
needs were impossible at the time.
Sen. Styles Bridges (Rep., N. H.,
chairman of the budget committee,
compared the estimates with "a
pre-game guess at the final score"
But Sen. Alben Barley (Dem., Ky.)
called the procedure "a step in the
dark"
Most profound uncertainties aris-
ing in the budget estimates were
the result of the recent commodity
market drop, which might possibly
affect government tax revenues and
also the annual personal income
rate. Not n senator was willing to
commit himself with finality on
what future developments along
these lines might be.

SUPPORT:
China

CHLnQ
Although it was obvious that his
heart wasn't in it, President Tru-
man presented congress with a re-
quest for $40 million dollars to be
sent to China as a prop for the
laundering economy of Chang Kali
shek's Nationalist government.
White House and state depart
ment sources admitted that the re-
quest was something less than a
half-measure and claimed that the
President had acted under pressure
from the Republican congress
which has insisted that the U. S.
must support Chang against the
Communist revolution in connection
with the European recovery plan.
At best the $40 million dollars is a
token g~esture-just a chip in rela-
ton to the vast amount of timber
that would be needed to restore the
rotting derelict of Chiang's govern
ment.
Theory behind this latest extern
sion of aid, which will be used to
finance Chinese imports Of cereals,
petroleum, coal, fertilizer and so
forth, is that the money will enable
Chiang's government to free other
resources for purchase of arms and
ammunition to continue the fight
against the Communist guerrillas.
But that is more of an idle hope
than a valid theory, because the
government forces, despite their
American arms and equipment, are
being bested consistently by the
Communists.

THE JOLT:
Election
Democrats were puzzled, not to
say frankly alarmed, over the as
tonishing victory of Leo Isacson,
American Labor party nominee, in
the special congressional election
for New York's Oath district.
The jolt was especially severe be-
cause Isacson had been prominently
supported by Henry Wallace,
avowed third party candidate for
the White House, and the Bronx
election had been viewed as a test
ing ground for Wallace's power to
win votes.
Moreover, the election apparently
vas no fuke. Isacson, with 22,697
tallies, had amassed more votes
than his three opponents combined.
Karl Proper, Democrat, got H.
578; Dean Alfange, Liberal party,
3,84O, and Joseph de Nigris, Repub-
lican, 1882.
In the first stages of shock, politi-
cal observers took the elections re-
suits as a significant straw in the
wind. Wallace had campaigned Wig
orously for ~Isacson, particularly at
lacking policies of the Truman adj
ministration with respect to Pales-
tine. However, nc one was general
izing too much on the strength of
that factor, because the Bronx dis
trict Oath congressional has a
heavy Jewish population.
Nevertheless, the Democratic
candidate had been expected to win
hands down, because the district
has sent members of that party to
congress consistently through the
years.
Said Henry Wallace, with great
citation: "This proves that the so
called third party can become the
first party in 1948."

SURPLUS:
Biggest Euer

Tax payments on record high in
come and reduced government
spending have brought the govern
ment's budget surplus up to a whop-
ping S4,073, 951, 189 for the current
fiscal year, treasury records show.
That amount is well over half of
the 7.4-billion-dollar surplus Presi-
dent Truman had predicted would
be on hand by June 30, l948, and it is
by far the largest surplus the gov
eminent ever had on hand.

GRAIN CAP:
Not Closed

Never a man inclined to extremes
OF optimism, Secretary of Agricul
ture Clinton Anderson has warned
that although the world grain situa.
ton has improved considerably this
year it has not yet caught up with
world needs.
He predicted, moreover, that next
years demand against the United
States supplies will be about 800
million bushels of wheat and 100
million bushels of coarse grain.
Not only that, said Anderson, the
high demand for U. S. grain prob
ably Will continue for from three to
hive years, and he expressed the
hope that an international wheat
agreement would be in effect by
that time to assure a continued eX-
port market thereafter.
In presenting a detailed analysis
OF grain developments in the past
year, Anderson:
Defended department of agri-
l. culture export grain buying
practices and said that the average
price paid by the government has
been less than that paid by major
milling companies.
= Stated unreservedly that the
- government will continue its
policy of remaining out of the grain
market until a more stable condi-
ton is established and that future
export buying will be designed so
as TO have as little effect on prices
as possible.
I Predicted the government will
~ purchase. between 80 million
and so million bushels of new crop
wheat next June from the early
crop movement.
On the whole, he implied, grain
conditions look pretty good.
Meat Supply
AS far as meat supply is con-
cerned the situation is reasonably
alarming, reported the department
of agriculture, developing further
its now familiar theme that the ma
ton faces a meat shortage of con-
siderable proportions this spring.
Livestock numbers on farms and
ranches declined last year to their
lowest level since 1889, the depart
ment's crop reporting board an
nounced. Numbers have fallen
steadily since reaching an all-time
peak on January /, 1914.
