A Pocket
BY CHEF SCOTT

HOwdy Folks: Mrs. Yiff-Niff
was in from Chidding-Switch
yesterday and gave us a shock.
She asked us why we eve adj
vertised. Imagine our surprise,
as our ads have run more or
less regularly.
When we told her we did adver-
tise and showed her our last weeks
ad to prove it, she said, eyes, but
they look so much like all the rest,
why don't you doll them up a bit
Sc they'll be easier to catch?
That set us to thinking. May
be she was right. We thought
of a lot of ways to make the
ads sensational. In skimming
over the past we remembered
one successful ad, that was the
WE'VE GONE HOG WILD"
display several years ago. Not
a very good average. We de-
cided that columnists got more
readers than most writers, so
we decided to try out Il hand
as a cOlumnist.
Of course we won't attempt to
be a 'keyhole" columnist. Found
out a keyhole isn't very valuable
anyway. The Fire Dept. had to
break down Harry Dulls apartment
door last week to rescue his giblets,
but alas, too late. Then Harry
came in from a hard days work to
find the Department had turned
the fire out from under his dinner.
Harry says, hamburgers are pretty
good anyway, if you order enough
of them before you start eating.
Well try to give you a few
smiles now and then, and-yes
you're right, we'n probably
talk a little bit about the dry
cleaning and laundry business
now and then.
Go watch our little column in the
n.oes of the OUTLOOK each week.

Former Local Boy Seriously Hurt
 In Jeep Smashup

Norman France, former resi- dent, was seriously injured in an automobile accident at Camp Campbell, Kentucky, it was learned this week. The 19-year- old youth, who was graduate of paratrooper and glider train ing in April, was riding in jeep which collided with a truck.
 The boy suffered a broken collar bone and shoulder blade, a punctured right lung, five broken ribs, a broken right arm and broken hips and pelvis bones. He will be six months in the hospital, at least. Norman would very much appreciate hearing from former Valley classmates, who may write him at Ward 20, Oliver General Hos- pital, Augusta, Ga.
 Norman, who would have been a member of this Mays gradu- ating class of Palmer high school had he stayed in the Valley, had just returned from Italy last Christmas. He has been away from the Valley for more than two years, and was expecting to be released from service next spring.

Supervisors Named For Soil District

Soil supervisors named in last weeks election for the Palmer Soil Conservation district were Henry Jensen, Clair Patten, Will .liam Roark, Clarence Hoffman and Lucius Ross, it was an nounced this week by Charles Wilson, territorial conservation ist.
 There were only 32 ballots cast in the election.
 MT. Wilson said no date had been fixed for the installation of the districts new officers, but he hoped to see the group fully organized in the very near fu- ture. Already the Soil Conserva- tion office has received seven re- quests for assistance. It is the policy of the Service to have these requests reviewed by the district supervisors before action is taken.
 James J. Hurley, district con- servationist, arrived in the Val ley with his family last week, and is now at his desk in the Soil Conservation office. Mir. { Hurley, formerly a soil scientist, has been with the Conservation Service for the past seven years. He comes to Palmer from Weiser, Idaho.

A Wise Concession

There are two basic reasons for indors-
ing the wisdom Of the Presidents decision
to accede to Senator Vandenberg's recon-
mendation for abandonment Of the ST.
ooo,00o0o0 authorization figure for Euro
pean aid over a four-year period under the
Marshall plan.
One Of these reasons is the impracti
cability of such an undertaking. One
Congress cannot commit q succeeding
Congress to the appropriation Of any sum.
Nor can this Congress accurately foresee
the conditions which will prevail three or
four years hence. The specific figure
mentioned might prove to be too high or
too low. In either event, there Is no
reason why the recipient nations should
be led to believe that they are going to
receive set amount Of aid without
regard to the nature of their own efforts
to help themselves or, the result of those
efforts.
The second reason Is tactical one. It
would be very bad thing psychologicaily
II the President were to press the fight
for q fixed overall authorization, only to
be beaten in Congress. 1t would also be
to stir up the hornets by forcing a fight
over something that is not OF real i'm
portance, even though the tight could be
won.
This $17,000,0 100000 figure is useful as
sort of yardstick to gauge the approximate
extent OF this country's commitment once
the Marshall plan has been adopted. It
can serve as an unofficial frame of refer
ence within which the legislative details
OF the program can be worked out. But
the really important things are to get
plan adopted with as little delay as pos
sible. to insure the provision of funds
needed in the first f1fteen-month period
and then to authorize the appropriation
OF such further funds, without mention OF
any specific amount, a may be necessary
to carry out the purposes Of the act.
It may be that the enemies Of the
program, and particularly its Communist
enemies viii try to interpret this vise
concession on the Presidents part a. q
sign OF weakness, a. An indication Of
waning determination to see this thing
through to . successful conclusion. It Is
nothing Of the sort. Mr.. Truman Is largely
dependent on Senator Vandenberg to plan
and direct the battle in Congress to secure
approval Of the aid program, and 1t IL
only reasonable that he should accommo-
date himself to the Michigan Senator's
judgment in a matter Of this kind. Only
disillusionment awaits those who may
profess to see in this sign OF retreat on
the part Of either man, for President
Truman and Senator Vandenberg are
fully committed to the Marshall plan in
Its essential aspects. They will do all that
1t Is humanity possible to do to win the
fight. The hope is that a sufficient num-
Der OF other men in Congress, with their
eyes open to the real interests of this
country, will stand with them to insure

controlling their movements across the
narrow strip OF Pakistan territory which
separates their home country from Kash-
mir. At any rate, they continue to enter
Kashmir and fierce fighting goes on
between them and the Indian troops, thus
arousing religious fanaticism In both
Pakistan and india. Should Nehru make
good his threat to take reprisal action
against Pakistan, the fat might be in the
ire.
It would seem that here is case where
the Security Council could well mediate
constructively. For one thing, an orderly
plebiscite could be arranged, SO that
the inhabitants of Kashmir might vote
their preference. That would probably be
for Pakistan, but Dominion India could
hardly object; because, where the shoe
has been on the other foot, 1t has favored
Hindu majorities in Princely States with
MosIem rulers. It Is poor rule that does
not work both ways. Certainly. unless an
equitable rule Is laid down, the subeonu-
nent seems headed for disaster.

kdshmir and the u, N.

Inc dominion OF midas appeal to the
United Nations Security Council on the
issue OF Kashnir is timely challenge to
world craftsmanship. The issue itself is
highly explosive. Furthermore, it Is merely
the outstanding instance Of series of
similar situations in the Indian sub-con-
tinent which embitter the relations of
Hindus and Moslems there. Should formal
war break out between Hindu India and
Moslem Pakistan, the consequences would
be catastrophe for both states, while the
repercussions might be worldwide in scope.
Kashmir is one Of the many Native
States" which formerly enjoyed autonomy
under the British RAJ" The withdrawal
Of British sovereignty left these States in
an anomalous position. Logically, they
would have been either afllliated with or
annexed to the two new Dominions of
India and Pakistan according to the
religious allegiance of their inhabitants.
Unfortunately, in several instances, his
torical accident had resulted in ruling
princes who did not share the faith of
the majority Of their subjects
This is notably true in the case Of Kash-
mir. That State, the largest in India, is
situated at the northwestern tip OF the
Moslems, but the ruler is Hindu
Maharaja, and his autocratic rule is
buttressed by an aristocracy Of high-caste
Hindus together with a private army of
mercenaries, mostly Hindus or Sikhs.
Incidentally, the Prime Minister OF
Dominion India, Jawaharlal Nehru,
belongs to one OF those Kashmir Hindu
aristocratic families.
The division of British India between
Hindus and Moslems last summer had its
inevitable repercussions In Kashmir. The
local Moslems began to agitate for union
with Pakistan, which adjoins Kashnnir,
but the Maharaja showed no disposition
to move that way, and when troubles
broke out he appealed to the Dominion
of India for aid. That appeal was promptly
needed, most OF the Indian troops sent
into Kashmir being sikhs, the fiercest
foes of the Moslems. BY this time, numer-
Gus Moslem volunteers were swarming
into Kashmir, not only from Pakistan but
even more from the wild tribes who
inhabit the rugged borderland between
India and Afghanistan. Those tribesmen
were melted not only by religious fanatic
ism but by greed for loot. Inhabiting q
desperately poor country, they have tradi-
tionally lived by warning on their neigh
bors. Under the British Raj they were
kept reasonably quiet by British subsidies
and enlisting in the British Indian Army.
Now the subsidies have stopped, 30 the
tribesmen are on the rampage.
In his bill Of complaint to the Security
Council, Premier Nehru accuses the gov
eminent Of Pakistan OF aiding and encour-
aging these raiding tribesmen. Although
Pakistan denies the charges, there is good
reason to believe that It Is incapable Of

The Truman Balcony
From the Nesp York Herald Tribune:

From the NetD York Herald Trt0une:
The imposing property at 1900 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, Washington, was originally
known as "the Presidents House" and while
the title is vested in the people Of the United
States, there is nothing in law to prevent
any President from rearranging or remodel
ing 1t as his convenience, means and taste
may suggest. The Commission Of Fine Arts,
though charged with the preservation OF the
character and dignity Of the great monuments
Of the National Capital. has only an advisory
and not a veto power. If President Truman
wishes to build . balcony under the majestic
south portico Of the White House there is
nothing to forbid his doing so.
Nothing, that is, except considerations OF
taste and propriety. The elaborate secrecy
in which the balcony project was matureo,
even to the point OF drawing the designs ana
letting the contract Is In itself serious refiec-
ton upon the propriety Of the whole proceed
ing It now appears that the Fine Arts Com
mission after careful consideration, had
recommended against 1t on the grounds that
it would permanently change the appearance
Of the south facade Of the White House" ana
such changes should not be made In the
design Of the central element Of building
OF such historic significance" It's recommenda-
ton disregarded, the commission urged that
the design at least be put in the hands OF
good architect, and the published sketch indi-
Gates that the alteration will be as modest
and unobtrusive as possible. The owners may
still reasonably ask why it should be- mace
at all.
To override (even with q good architecD
the commission APPOINTED to advise on these
matters seems to US to argue a certain want
Of taste and decency. Mr.. Truman Is only
a tenant OF the White House; he is in the
last year of term which may quite possibly
not be renewed; he has already shown
lamentable penchant for meddling with his
toric structure which the Nation prefers 70
