Where Republicans Are At
The record of the 80th Congress
furnishes the foundations for the
Republican platform. The Republi-
cans CAIN all the credit for out
having wartime controls to aid
prices, wages and production to find
there own levels. That's really a very
truthful statement. Nevertheless
prices. wages and production are
leveling off very fast. It is entirely
fair to compare the record of the
Congress with that of the White
House. ever though that would be
tough on Mr.. Truman. The Presi-
dent has vetoed a very large num-
Der of Republican laws, and the De-
mocrats helped the Republicans to
override his vetoes. 1t is fair to COM
pare the rule of the Nation by the
President with that of the second
largest and next important govern
ment which is the State of New
York at the head of which is Cover
nor Dewey. In short. at this stage
of the game the Republicans hold
all the big cards-and Washing
tonians believe Dewey will win with
a landslide.

soothed by Gen. Elsenhower's letter
of remuneration, which admonished
all military men to stay out of poll
tics. This bore so obviously on Gen
MacArthur's ambitions, Gen. Eisen-
hover found it necessary to disavow
any such intent; nevertheless the
letter speaks for itself and would
make a valuable anti macarthur
campaign document.
Gen. Eisenhower was being boom
ed by the progressive International
lists, who have now turned to Senator
Vandenberg. That prominent ex-
ponent of internationalism happens
also to be the author of a powerful
piece, Why Am for Gen.
Macarthur" written in 1914. Thun-
ders of silence have emanated from
the Senator since the Macarthur

Taft and cause compromise can

a Vandenberg or Warren. This
picture, even on Monday, excluded
Harold E. Stassen as a compromise
candidate. Mr.. Stassen's role was
somewhat different. He was out to
prove he could beat either of the
major contenders in a fair field
and an open fight, and he had
picked New Hampshire as the ideal
spot for this demonstration.

This Changing World
Tension in Washington Is Seen Higher
Than in Weeks Before Pearl Harbor

MVD (secret police) divisions which
are as efficient and well equipped
as the Nazi SIS forces.
Some IS divisions (mainly tanks
and mechanized units) are now con-
centrated between the Vistula and
the Oder, that is to say facing the
weak American and British forces.
The movements which have taken
place in that area in the last 10
days have given much food for
thought to the western Allied COM
manders, who are aware that
neither the forces at their disposal
nor the reserves" at home could
possibly match the Russian power.
The most optimistic estimate of
the situation is that the Kremlin
has decided to intensity the war
of nerves in Western Europe in
order to facilitate the placing of
that area behind the iron curtain,
and is using this powerful force
to back its political maneuvers. The
Soviets know that the entire Amer
ican force in Germany consists of
2'2 divisions trained principally to
do constabulary work. The British
and French are no better off.
Reds See Quick Evacuation.
Under these conditions the Rus
slams feel certain that the western
powers will endeavor to evacuate
their forces as speedily as possible
rather than attempt to resist. The
notes of protest from Washington,
London and Paris can be taken care
of in the vast Wastepaper baskets
in the Kremlin. The United Nations
does not seem to worry the Polit-
buro unduly.
The pessimists in the Govern
ment fear that we may wake up
some morning in the very near fu-
ture with the Russian divisions
on us, and some desultory
fighting to protect the retreat of
the bulk of the American forces
minus their equipment-might be
All these are Speculations based
on actual 1lgureS pertaining TO the

the flanks of the western Allied
forces.
According to reports from Paris
and London, the tension is even
greater today in those two capitals,
which feel themselves more threat
ened than in the fall of 1899. The
authorities in France and
have been watching the
Soviet manuevers for some time and

five letters to mail. The cashier
handed her five George Washington
Carver commemorative stamps. As
you doubtless know, all COM
memorative issues are larger in size
than regular stamps.
The lady recoiled as il a leper
had offered to shake hands with
her.
Haven't you any of the little s.
cent stamps? l don't like these
big ones.'
The cashier explained that they
took what the post office gave them
IN the way of stamps, regardless
OF glove size, waist measurement,
skirt length, and color. He further
explained that any one stamp would
get letter to its destination as
xpedltiously as another.
Little Size or None.
The lady was not impressed. She
said she wanted the little-size g.
cent stamps or none at all-and
would the hotel please use its best
Offices in getting her some. She
returned the big stamps, retrieved
her 50-cent piece and departed
with her unmailed letters clutched
in her indignant little fist.
Which brings me to a point OF
discussing one of the most battling
eccentricities of practically all Amer
leans, regardless of race. color or
creed.
They will not buy any more post
age stamps than they need at any
given moment. If they write three
letters on Tuesday, they buy three
stamps on Tuesday. If they write
one letter on Wednesday, they buy
one stamp on Wednesday. Few
Americans, including myself, ever
buy stamps ahead. There are few
homes in the country today wherein
some one doesn't ask during the
day, rs there a Scent stamp in
the house?"
We all know that we are going to
need stamps every dayAto thank
Aunt Minnie for her jar of pre-
serves, pay the water bill, pay the
gas, light and grocery bills, mail the
insurance premium and write home
for money.
Few Have Courage to Buy.
But do you personally know a
single man, woman or child who is |
SO reckless as to march boldly up
to the stamp window and buy 100
threes?
No, you don't.
Postal workers spend half their
time tearing single stamps of al
sheet, and making small change
for the buyer. I don't believe there
is any man who hasn't gotten mad
in a stamp line because the people
ahead OF him were buying stamps
in dribbles, which was exactly what
he intended to do when he got to
the window.
Stamps are just as solid currency
as money, which is something we
all know. They will be as good 10
years from today as they are the
minute you buy them. They are
nonperishable and worth their cost /

Meantime Washington continues
to regard the Macarthur develop

considered personality unlike any

other men are, still it was never
seriously believed that he would
undertake to come home after twelve
long years and ask for the presi-

might do such a thing was erased
in most political breasts by Gen.
Eisenhower's withdrawal. The lat

vested interest as dark horse.

the generals announcement was OBJ

But there are increasing signs that
the zero hour for Europe, which last
week was believed to be set for
after the Italian elections, has been
moved ahead. The consensus of
American and foreign observers was
that the Russian armies would "aS-
sist'' in bringing Western Europe
behind the iron curtain after April
18, and that the main putsch west
of the Adriatic would be started
early in May.
According to latest unofficial in
formation it appears that the Krem-
lin has decided to move faster, and
nobody here would be surprised If
events did not begin to develop this
month.
Coup in Germany Possible.
The possibility OF coup in Ger
many and Austria is no longer being
ruled out. In the past it was believed
that the Soviet military and political
high command (the former is sub
ordinatfd to the latter would hesi-
tate to take any direct or indirect
action which might involve the
scanty American forces in Europe.
This assumption was predicated on
the belief that since the Russians
can get all they want without COM
ing into physical conflict with us
it would be foolish to do ANYTHING
that might arouse the complacent
American public opinion.
In the last few days the move
ment of Soviet troops between the
Vistula and the Oder Rivers and in

changed the picture.
