$50 Fine!

Nebraska law provides that a
minor is subject to a fine up to
$50 for misrepresenting his or
her age for the purpose of
purchasing alcohol beverages.
The latest in series Of posters
calling attention to this law,
furnished gratis by the Nebras-
ka Division, U. S. Brewers
Foundation, is now in the
hands of every beer retailer.
This poster, headed $3.50
Finel", is designed to help re-
tailers prevent under-age per-
sons from procuring or con-
suming beer.
Virtually all Nebraska beer re-
tailers want 100 percent OBJ
servance of the 'sNo Sales to
Minors law. and they well
come every aid to that end.
.'Sworn Statement of Age"
blanks, also furnished free by
the Nebraska Division, are
used by many retailers with
good results.
These services to beer retailers

This Changing World
Truman Urged by Political Advisers
To oRetire Leahy as His Chief of staff

he expresses his convictions. He
never pussyfooted about important
issues in Mr.. Roosevelt's time and
has not changed. When he believes
that some policies affecting national
defense or the overall strategic pic
ture are wrong, he says so without
mincing words, regardless of whose
toes he steps on.
Thus, because he knew that our
policy since 1946 toward China has
been against all our previous for
NAL commitments, and also dam
aging to the interests of the United
States, he did not hesitate to make
an issue of it with Secretary Mar
shall in the Presidents presence.
Predicted Palestine Headaches.
He took a similar position in the
matter of the partition of Palestine,
when he told Mr.. Truman frankly
that we were sticking our necks
out long way and would eventual
lily have serious headaches over it.,
not only because of the politics in
volved, but because of the threat to
our national defense which was con-
tanned in our alienation of certain
Istrategically important Arab coun-
tries.
In this he was not following his
own ideas alone, but also reflected
the thoughts of his previous boss,
President Roosevelt. There is no
question in the minds of old-timers
who were close to Mr.. Roosevelt
that he had great confidence in Ad-
miral Leahy and talked matters over
with him more freely than with
others of his intimate advisers.
May Offer AmbassadOrship.
Mr.. Truman is, of course, reluc-
tant to ask Admiral Leahy to with
draw from his present Office, which
recently has become less important
since the President is compelled to
listen more closely to the voices of
politicians than to those of the real
lists who take no interest in the pres
ent election campaign.
But the pressure on him to dis
pense with the services of the out
spoken old sailor, because "he has
become a political liability in the
present electoral campaign" has be-
come so strong that it is highly
probable that before long he will
try to offer some attractive niche
perhaps an ambassadorship- to
his chief of staff, who has already
repeatedly signified his desire to re-
tire to private life,

Sticking 1t Out in Berlin
Present y. S. Course Won't Bring War,
Our Prestige Never Higher, Writer Told

We know we've got individual free
dom at home and we practice it in
Western Germany.
But one thing we don't realize
is how important we are to the
world. It's hope and faith are in
America. The average humble indi-
vidual here sees his only hope OF
leading his own life in the promise
he gets from America.
We have taken a position and
we must maintain it. If we left
Berlin, millions would believe that
we are not ready to defend the
things we say we believe.
The lifting of the blockade of Ber
lir at any cost might seem happy
event because it would seem to lift
the threat of war. But that i'm
mediate relief would be an illusion
and would be quickly overcome by
future happenings.
IsOlati0nism Still Feared.
Fear of United States isolation
ism still hampers pursuit here of
strong policy France, for example,
needs constant reinsurance that we
are here to stay. The air lift has
been tremendously helpful in this
respect.
The general revealed that there
was some opinion, when the Rus
slams first began their blockade of
Berlin, that we ought to try to
break it at once by sending an
armed convoy of trucks through toI
the city. Such conveys or trains
are ready, incidentally, to go into
action at once should the situation
alter.
Such an armed convoy has an
inherent risk of war;" Gen. Clay
said. 1T could have become an act
of aggression and proved very nasty
all around. We believe it is better
first to exhaust all peaceful means
of breaking the blockade"
The Russian aim, in opinion here,
is nothing less than to get us COM
pletely out of Europe. They mean
to accomplish it by making us so
disguised and sore we will pick up
and leave. But the Russians un-
der estimate and misunderstood us,
Gen. Clay thinks.
The general feels able to assure
America that after three and half
years of occupation its position in
Germany is very nearly unassail-
able. What we have to do further
is to hang on.

disposition of these colonies is be-

DepOrtatiOnS No Help.
The enforced deportations of pop

without exception, from agricultural
and relatively underpopulated areas
into vastly overcrowded urban areas
Whole Czech. Romanian, Hungarian,
and German villages are deserted,
their surrounding fields fallow, with
no prospect that adequate settlers
will be forthcoming to restore them,
while Europe as a whole must be
fed increasingly from overseas. And
in this, the rational" Communists
are the offenders.
Is man homo sapiens"? AS Pro-
fessor Eugene Wigner, Princeton
University physicist, predicted at
the same meeting, man soon may-b
able to build atom-fueled airships
to escape the gravitatior pull OF
the earth. But there Is no indi-
cation he will find subsistence O,

One may well ask whether man
needs TO escape the earth or get
down to it.
And while we complain of the
high cost of food we also might con-
slider that there are places, once
abundant, where a few pounds of
butter are worth a diamond ring.

Staff, where he represents the
President. The White House ad
visers regard him as political
liability in the present campaign
in which they believe Mr. Truman
must make a strong bid for the
liberal vote. Mr.. Clifford and Mr.
Niles consider Admiral Leahy an
"old-fashioned reactionary."
Mr.. Truman is somewhat uncer-
tain about how to approach Admi-
raj Leahy with the request that
he retire. After President Roose-
velt's death Admiral Leahy asked
that he be relieved of his duties
as chief of staff and intimate ad-
wiser to the President on military
affairs, a job he has held since
June, 1912, when President Roose-
welt recalled him from Vichy, where
he was Ambassador, to make him
his right-hand man in dealing with
war strategy.
Urged to Stay on.
Mr.. Truman refused then to coln-
ply with Admiral Leahy's request
and urged him to remain at mis-
side. since he was the only man
really familiar with the highly
secret agreements made at Teheran
and Yalta. Later Admiral Leahy
repeated his request at least twice,
according to friends But each time
President Truman refused to con-
slider it.
The Presidents chief of staff is
known for the bluntneSS with which
Evening star., 1948-09-20

the Russians are blufing.
These assertions came from Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, American military
governor, in a long, frank discussion
of United States policy in Germany.
In effect, the discussion constituted
an eloquent mo appeasement" plea
to his countrymen and its politicians
as their presidential and congress
sional campaigns move into high
gear.
Gen. Clay had just seen Senator
Barkley, Democratic candidate for
Vice President and Senate minority
leader. Senator Barkley gave Gen.
Clay his personal assurances that
the Barkley campaign will rule out
politics in foreign policy.
Dulles Expected Soon.
Another important political visitor
| is expected shortly to take his own
soundings in Germany-John Foster
Dulles, Gov. Dewey's adviser on
foreign policy, who is currently a
delegate to the United Nations de-
liberations in Paris. Since Mr..
Dulles is widely reported to be Gov.
Dewey's choice for Secretary OF State,
his every word and attitude will be
anxiously weighed by Berlin.
AS such, the presidential cam
paigns are not the burning topic
here where the daily prospect is
Russian provocation. The every day
fare is Russian abuse and the OBJ
lective is to get that days WorK
done without dangerous incident.
But they are aware, this Ameri-
can garrison which finds its soldiers
in the new kind of war not very
we'll suited to the American tenn
per, that great decisions are often
made in the stress of presidential
campaigns. They fear the clever
statements that are "just politics,
as Wendell Willkie once said, to
Americans, but which make Europe
here under the guns of the Rus
slams, quake.
They know 1t is possible to wrap
up a prediction peace that looks
good. But the besieged who live
with the problem every day are
clean out of optimism that the
Russians will ever keep their word
So they prefer the hard way now
and they are going to be a lot hap
pier after the ballots are counted
/ November 2.
The eminently correct Gen. Clay
does not discuss the matter in do
mestic political terms but he is
frank with America about how the
| picture looks to him here. His
thoughts run like this:
| We Americans don't need tc
quibble about the word democracy
with the Russians or anybody else

1t is doubtful whether news of the
first atomic bomb created as much
of a sensation as did the radio and
