THE DEW-DROP

Senators who got a free ride in the Dew-Drop- plush airplane supposedly built for President Dewey-have about concluded that airplane junketing doesn't pay.
 Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, nephew of the Senator from Michigan and chief of the Air Force, escorted Democratic Sen. Joe O'Mahoney and Senators elect Clinton Ander- son of New Mexico and Lyndon Johnson of Texas up to New York in the Dew-Drop to attend the Town Hall dinner in honor of Eice -elect Alben Barkley However, the Dew-Drop landed in a snowstorm at Mitchell Field, IL, and an Air Force staff car got so begged down in traffic that the VIP.'s grabbed their suitcases and waded through the snow on foot.
 After long subway ride, they finally reached the Barkley dinner four hours and fifteen minutes af- ter they left the airport. If they had gone by train instead of spong- ing on the government for a free airplane ride, they would have ar rived two hours earlier.

 r Hysterically the White Russians
 are trying to leave China. The
 International Refugee Organization
 has helped to evacuate those of
 Jewish ancestry to Palestine and a l few others to South American
 countries. But the L s. consult
 ate has slammed its doors in the faces of those who have besieged
 the United States for visas
 The story of Shanghai's White
 Russians is one of the most epic in modern times. Many had been noblemen and aristocrats under the Czar.A Others had been laborers on the Czars Siberian railroad Fleeing across Siberia, they event. ually filtered down to Shanghai, where king and commoner worked side by side-often as coolies.
 After V-J Day. the Soviets granted amnesty to Shanghais White Russians-and gave them a salestalk about coming back to Russia. Two thirds of the com- munity Hooked to the Soviet con- sulate for citizenship, and four boatlcads sailed for Vladivostok and disappeared behind the Iron Curtain.
 By prearranged coae they hint ed of bitter disappointment in the few letters that trickled back. One couple escaped, and gave a first hand account. Then the newly in- ducted Soviets began renouncing citizenship simply by announcing it in the Vernacular press. More than ,000 returned to their stateless status.
 Today they are political lepers" a lost colony in the heart of Shanghai's teeming millions. They have no country to turn to- no em- bassy to protect them. Their only hope-if worst comes-is the poison they carry in their pockets.

 So far, the negotiations have been stymied by two factors. One is the refusal of American oil companies to invest further capital in Mexico unless they are assur- ed by Aleman of legal protection against future confiscation
 Also President Aleman has fear ed that Mexican Communists would incite revolt if American oil- men renew operations in Mexico. Instead, Aleman wants a loan from the United States so his country can expand it's oil production un- der Mexican management.

CHRISTMAS JUNKET

All this explains why President Aleman has sent his own private airplane to Washington to carry back Rep. Bob Crosser of Ohio, Crcsser's daughter. sonin-law and two grandchildren on a Christmas vacation junket to Mexico-all at Alemans expense.
 What the President of Mexico knows is that Congressman Cross CT will be the new chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, which has lot to do with foreign purchases of oil and other imports. His ideas on Mexican oil may be important
 Besides Dresser and his relatives, others included in the vacation flight to Mexico were Elton J. Layton, clerk of the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, his wife, and Lieut. Col. and Mrs John Meyer Colonel Meyer is an Air Forces liaison officer on Capitol Hill
 Ncte-Compromise on Mexican oil may be a loan to Mexico for the construction of speculative relineries and pipelines, with the understanding that American com- panies will be permitted to drill in Mexico on a limited scale and with full legal protection against confiscation. Also, Mexican oil exports to the United States would be sold through "Premex," the Mexican government monopoly.

Crime and Punishment
Fairbanks News Miner)

Fairbanks News Miner | The jurisprudence of the neo-atomc age has been evoked.
 The glttering egalities have been satisfied grimy by the gallows.
 Tokyos urid transcript is filed beside that of Nuremburg. A daring measure has been ratified by the fait accomph
 humanity. It is against the law The law is in the books; it has been tested it has precedent.
 Ignominious death of selected blamefu individuals s small solace to nations torn apart Hanging is too good for the maker of aggressive war Unfortunately it is the feeble utmost of justice bound by self defining concepts beyond which lies it's negaton.
 Hermann Goering and now Hideki Tojo have bazed fearsome trails Their fate and that of their henchmen who died with them points the perilous xampe for seekers of power through force and desruc tion.
 The law against waging aggressive war is frail companion to the terrible weapons available for breach of the law. And though the crime is proven punishable the law itself is unenforceable by methods and agencies heretofore existing.
 Punishment the fear of it has failed to eliminate crime in other realms than international warfare.
 This law will be broken circumvented whenever possible
 But this is a good law, necessary law and too long lacking
 Its weakness lies not in its intent nor it's justi. ficaton but in the pitiabe limitation imposed by the fact that there simply is no punishment to fit the crime
 It is estimated that the national income for 1948 will total 240 billion dollars most of which, of course was spent fast it earned. And that's lot of money not to have much to show for.

La Motta Refuses
To Waive Immunity
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 13-Jake La
Motta, suspended New York mid
dleweight boxer, refused to sign q
waiver of immunity yesterday when
summoned to testify before the
February 194D grand jury which
has been investigating boxing fol
about a year.
The jury has been inquiring into
the circumstances surrounding La
Motta's technical knockout by Billy
Fox at Madison Square Garden or
November IA.
In that fight, La Motta was ar
early betting favorite, but the odds
turned suddenly and Fox became
a 5-12 choice. The State Athletic
Commission held up the, purses
after critical postfight newspaper
accounts. The purses were re-
leased after an investigation by
Eddie Eagan, chairman of the
State Athletic Commission, but La
Motta drew an indefinite suspen-
sion.
Four other persons connected
with the fight appeared. They were
AL Silvani, La Motta's manager; DR.
Nicholas Salerno, his physician. and
Clarence Wilkinson, who spared
with both contestants.
