 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has proposed to deal with the situation He would retain the electoral units of each State as provided in the Constitution this was historic compromise between the big and little States on which that historic document was based but he would divide each States electoral bloc in prooron to the popular vote received by the several candidate Thus, in New York, for example.

ARMY COPIES NAVY

While the Navy and Air Force are splitting at each other over Secretary Forrestals shoulder, Gen. Omar Bradley, Army Chief of Staff, has been willing to take a tip from thhe Navy in training troops He has also taken some suggestions from Sen. Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.
 As a result, more raw recruits will be trained by warrant officers fewer by commissioned officers.
 This new policy came about part ly because of an inspection trip by Gen. Willard Paul, Chief of Army Personnel, who liked the way the Navy was training troops at its Great Lakes Training Station. He reported back to Gen. Bradley that the Navy, using warrant officers was doing just as good a job as with young commissioned officers possibly better.
 Simultaneously, Sen. Cabot Lodge, reserve lieutenant colonel, wrote Bradley friendly letter about his two weeks training at Camp Hood, Texas.
 Anxious that the Army do good job in handling 18-year- odds, Lodge stressed the need for good young officers, both commissioned and poncommissioned. He suggested that the Army use great care in ordering reserve officers back to active duty for fear they were not properly qualified. It's better for the Army to be shorthanded, Lodge urged, than call up a lot of officers who are inadequate.
 Bradley, more anxious than any, one else that the Army's new, diff cult training program succeed, ap- preciated the Lodge suggestions. took them before a group of his corps commanders. They decided, as the Navy already had, that in many cases sergeants and warrant officers would be better for troop training than young lieutenants. Noncoms, therefore, will be used not merely as drill-masters. but in increasingly important sub-com- mands

The Farmer and the LabOrer
(St. Louis Star -Times)


 The Democratic victory of 1948, like all other successful reform movements since the Civil War was made possible by alliance between mdwestern farmers and the laboring groups.
 In 1882 that alliance strong The two groups were held together by common distres. Improvement in the lot of each clearly to the advantage of the other higher farm income meant purchasing power and therefore more employment for the union ist higher wages for unionists meant purchas- ing power and therefore better market for farm goods Money scarce, and the capacity to ex- pand production and services huge. The alliance made in 1892 lasted until the postwar period.
 Today. however, the alliance between the farmer and the laborer is very tentative The situa tion reversed Money is plentiful and the capacity to expand production of goods and services is very slight If either organized agriculture organized labor is rnnnoderae in it's demands the alliance will fall apart continuation of increase in the present high price of foods and agriculture materials would pinch painfully the consumers, of whom laborers large a part. And another round of wage increases would raise higher the prices the farmer has to pay.
 Clearly sef-restraint by both of the victorious allies is in order Together they hold the power to set another rocket under imitation hold it in check and gradually reduce it. In the latter course lies the only hope of avoiding the depression that both groups fear much.
