sure Washington parents that when
they brought their children down to the
greatest toy show in town, they would
visit Santa who is pleasant, skilled in
handling children, and knows what the
Christmas spirit is all about.
That's why, two carefully selected
men spent a week in Santa Claus
school in Albion, N. Y. They learned
the origin and history Of Santa Claus.
They practiced the approach to the
child, and the parents, too They
studied the science of Santa Claus
'mechanics" which includes.
among other things, how to lift a
child to his knee with affection and
skill. Furthermore, Santa at The
Hecht Co. knows about the educa-
tional and play values of toys. And
they know. too, how to scale young
sters' desires down to the size of the
family purse. So you can be sure
that your child's visit to Santa in
The Hecht Co. Toyland, Washington
or Silver Spring, will be a memorable
experience.

There may be, because up until II

crazy enough to conduct q poll to
find out how many capable Vege-
tarians there were in the CONT

Something seems to tell me that
I don't want q man who will turn

carrots to T-bones, I am going to
start digging a foxhole in my own

Mighty Problem Posed.
If We ever had a war and this
Vegetarian person were President,
a mighty pretty problem would be
posed. Having been a soldier, I
think I can speak with authority
on how soldiers would feel If their
combat rations consisted Of un-
dressed lettuce, eggplant la mode,
rhubarb on the half shell. dande-

rabbit foods. My guess is that the

Israel, a newborn state, is sup
porting this function Of the Secu-
rity Council, favoring the resolution

ing to Maj. Aubrey Eban, who

The second part Of that sentence

But II the Arabs can be compelled
by sanctions or armS-to adapt
themselves to the will of the Secu-

PEELED to abandon sovereignty in
favor Of the will OF great powers
who will not themselves abandon
it, having the veto. And this, in
fact, is the basis of the United
Nations peace concept: Theoreti-
cally, the United Nations becomes
a world government for the weak,
while the strong retain full sover-
eighty. Under this concept it be-
comes the duty Of the weak to be-

These agreements are all for the
economic and political recovery of
Western Europe and are a highly
encouraging indication that 1deo-
logical hatchets are being buried for
the sake of practical politics.
1t must be pointed out, however,
that both Britain and France are
compelled, in order to keep their
economies alive, to accept billions

not only in cash but also in products
similar to those they are exporting

Campaign in Congress
For Taft-HartIey Act
Amendments Fails
Labor Boord and Unions
Lose Fight to Call OFF
Elections Inside Plunts
Br David Laurence

The flank attack on the Taft
Hartley Act inside Congress has not
succeeded. There will be no amend
ments at this session. Primarily
this means that the recent drive for
an abandonment Of elections in
side plants to determine whether
the workers want compulsory union
ization has failed.
The argument carefully propa-
gandized by members of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board and
unions was simply that 1t was too
much trouble to conduct such elec-
tions. 1t was asserted that the han
ding Of the elections congested the
work Of the board and also was
costly.
II manufacturers were to make a
similar argument, they would be
laughed out of the Capitol. Thus If
busineS IN asserted that the anti
trust laws should be repealed be-
cause the Justice Department takes
up too much Of their time and that
1t costs the Government money to
carry on Investigations on monopoly
or unfair competition. nobody in
union circles would miss an oppor-
tunity to ridicule such a proposal
Stand Is Inconsistent.
Usually. when a Government bu-
reau or board finds that Congress
has given it Job to do, it welcomes
the chance to do 1t and asks for an
appropriation to cover the costs.
The fact that the National Labor
Relations Board didn't want to
conduct elections to determine
whether the employees wanted COM
pulsory unionization and instead
urged abolition of the practice GER
tainly seems inconsistent with the
enthusiasm OF the board In con-
Quoting innumerable elections since
1885 to determine collective-bar-
gaining agents.
It had been expected that there
would be a large number of So
called union shop" elections this
year because the union shop" is a
substitute for the closed shop" and
obviously many CLOSED shop" un-
ions have had to shift to the
union shop" In order to conform
to the Taft Hartley law. The diff
ference between the two categories
Is that in CLOSED shop" the en-
ployer used to be compelled to hire
only union members, while under
the "union shop" he may employ
any one but, If the workers decide
by q majority that they want a
union shop, all workers must

On the Record
US. Should Consider Own Interests
First in Israeli Policy, Writer Holds

sive and despotic Of the great
powers.
The Soviet government, which
has banned Zionism since its birth,
needs neither to consult its people
nor seek their suffrage on any ques-
ton of foreign or domestic policy.
But half the worlds Jews are in
the United States, with organized
political power, exercising strong
pressure on our policy. Yet. from
the viewpoint Of long-range Amer
lean interest-regardless Of the par:
ticulars OF any confiict-we should
bolster the sovereignty Of the weak
unless, or until, all nations equally
agree to limited restrictions on
sovereignty.
Balance Of Power Policy.
American policy is aimed at
recreating a balance Of world power
as a basis of settlement with the
Soviet Union. The only alternatives
are capitulation to the Soviets in
Europe and Asia, or war. There Is,
therefore, no acceptable alternative
to the present policy, though 1t
could be pursued more consistently
and wisely.
Essential to it are warm and close
relations with Britain, France and
China. The Soviet objective is to
wreck those relations, and they are
being seriously undermined by way
of Palestine. To read some parts OF
our press you would think we were
on TIE verge of war with Great
Britain. China, with its fear OF
compulsion of the weak; and
France, with its great North African
Arab population, also are perturbed.
1t seems to me that we should
refuse to accept the thesis that any
settlement can be imposed by force
on Jews or Arabs, bolster our faith
that in a stalemate peace can be
negotiated, and make it clear that
our attitude will be determined by
the behavior of each. Arab and
Jewish armies should be requested
to withdraw from positions they
have taken outside the territories
assigned to each. If Israel believes
the United States and the Soviets
will back her under all circum-
stances, she will tend like all
states-to overreach herself. II the
Arabs hope to defeat the Jews by
disrupting the Western Allies, they
are playing with more dangerous
fire than a Jewish state. For, in the
long run, Arab sovereignty will be
protected only by the west.
But at all times we should con-
slider the interests Of the United
States, the protection OF which Is
the sole object Of foreign policy.

COST
What is more important perhaps
is that, if the proposal to abolish
union shop" elections had been
given the right Of way, the union
strategists would have pressed for
other amendments. The Republi-
can leaders in Congress were ready
to adopt a clarifying amendment on
the matter of procedure in handling
union shop" elections so as to cut
down the congestion OF election
cases but the Democratic leaders
were not willing to agree to confine
the amendments to that single sub
ject.
This tends to corroborate the
theory that there was little interest
in the amendment Of the union
shop" election provision as such
and that the real purpose was to
open up the whole Taft-Hartley Act
to amendments just before the po-
litical campaign. This would have
forced members Of both parties to 60
on record on proposals that were not
the result of any experience with
the law and would merely make for
political embarrassments. The Joint
committee wisely refused to be
drawn into that kind Of snare.
