Moves to Block Love
Suit MismissaI
Against Louis

CHICAGO, June Z. CAMP
The game of chess between the
Rev. Matthew Faulkner of Allan
ia and Joe Louis in the 100000
alienation of affections suit went
another round here last week
when the minister's attorney, Sol
R. Friedman, filed an affidavit in
superior court opposing Louis mo-
ton to dismiss the suit on the
ground that New York City, not
Chicago, is the champs home.
According to Friedman's brief,
Louis wife and two children live
in Chicago, which is proof that
the champs permanent address is
in the city. The suit, filed April
2, accuses Louis of stealing the
affections of Mrs. Matte Faulk-
ner, 26-year-old wife of the min
lister.

dead in earnest about civil rights
as they pertain to Negroes in the
United States. There seems to be
somehow an understanding be-
tween Republicans and Democrats,
that the color question is to be
let alone, and let drift.
Professional buck-passing, poll
tically speaking, seems to be at
it's best when the rights and adj
vantages of Negroes r at stake.
Things do not look different from
other timesw hen congress stalled
on the anti-lynch bill until the last
moments when a filibuster would
complete the dirty work of let
ting the bill 60 by default. Unless
this picture of matters is again
taking shape this writer is badly
mistaken. The pattern of evasion
in this matter is so clear it can
hardly be mistaken.
But if the Negro looks to a
third party which has no chance
of c for relief, he still is
faced with disillusionment, for it
is true, it matters not what good
things a man is inclined to do,
unless he gets himself in position
to do them, he cannot relieve a
given situation. A third party with
fortnight speaking on a forth
right platform will not in the short
run yield as much as one of the
old major parties which attains
power in the coming elections.
And so the affairs are muddled
as we go mupddling along! But
whether we are going to muddle
through is still another matter.
With the northern and southern
Democrats and Republicans enter
ing into a compact not to offend
each other on the color question,
the Negro not only can see but
can feel the muddling that is afoot
in this country.

The Lines
By Dean G. B. Hancock for AMP

Affairs in and about this world
are badly muddled to say the
least. Whether here at home in
the United States or in the utter
most parts of the earth, we are
confronted with muddled situa-
tons that are depressing in their
implications.
Little hapless Palestine is hav-
ing it's baptism of blood. Russia
and the United States are still
looking threateningly at each 9TH
er and do not find any basis Of
approchment not because they
cannot but because they will not.
The cold war is proceeding ac-
cording to plan, evidently, and no
body can tell what today may
bring forth. There can be no
doubt that communist must be
contained; but whether United
States dollars alone will do this
remains to be seen. 1t is greatly
to be feared that dollars when
Invested of moral Accomplishments
may utterly fail at last to stem
the tide of communism.
1t remains to be demonstrated
that dollars can defeat ideologies.
Unless our bosated democracy will
set it's house in order and make
practical it's boasts tenents, there
r reasons to believe that sooner
or later we are going to have a
rude awakening. We are at the
bat now, but if we strike out,
woes will betdie the world. Even
more badly than they need our
dollars the nations of the earth
need a major example of great
living on the part of some great
nation, chiefly III own.
The political situation in this
country is badly muddled. Now
as in times past the Republican,
and Democrats have gone into 6
huddle on the civil rights legisla
ton. Truman has done his par
and made recommendations by
which he is standing g~allently
even though the threat of politica
death is hanging over him like tn,

ductions. But his accompanying
speech was a harangue against
the United States as scheming
aggressor, and an attack on the
American viewpoint (also held by
Roosevelt) that disarmament with
out effective controls repeatedly has
been tried and failed.
"If," sneered Mr.. Vishinsky, I'VE
take into consideration that the
American plan provides for the
transfer to an international control
body not only enterprises but whole
industries. 1t is not difficult
to understand what the American
plan may lead to-
We can only see that 1t would
lead to the international socializa-
ton of the greatest potential source
of energy mankind ever is likely to
have. We cannot see why an in
ternational Socialist should oppose
it except that it is inconsistent with
the veto, the Iron Curtain and the
plan of any state for world domina-
ton.
Mr.. Vishinsky quoted articles from
the American press describing how
another war would be fought. as
proof of American plans for aggres-
sion. But to describe a perspective
is not to champion it. and what Is
discussed privately in Russia Is
printed openly here. The Soviets
certainly have plans-as we do-in
case of war with any specific enemy.
Both states maintain war colleges.
But these are not cause OF war,
but a symptom that no effective
system of collective security-nor
any enforceable law to deter ag-
gressors-exists.
The Soviets are the unfortunate
prisoners of their own principles y
which include the principle" OF the
"inevitability" of war as long as
Communist" and capitalist" states
exist, and as expressed by Lenin,
whom Mr.. Bevin quoted. Lenin has
been dead a long time, but unfor-
tunately there is apparent return TO
this theory-if the Soviets ever
veered from 1t.
The same view is expressed IN q
recent book by the Soviet deputy
president Of the Council of Ministers
(Stalin's add, N. A. Voznesensky.
Again the principle" is repeated
that imperialist expansion Is In
herent in capitalist states, that the
United States of America is the
most powerful contemporary express
sion of such a state: that therefore
war is inevitable and could be pre-
vented only by the military and
economic disarmament of America
and the world hegemony OF the
U. s. s. r. Vishinsky refers to the
Identical passage quoted by Bevin:
"Lenin taught us that the fate Of
all revolutions has been decided by
a long sequence of wars and that
with the civil war we ended only
one series and had to be prepared
for the next series.'
Now, a state that believes war Is
inevitable can only be preaching
disarmament without controD as a
means of making the disarmed its
victims.
The most dangerous thing in the
world is for a state to believe it
knows the certain outcome Of his
tory. 1t thereby puts on binders.
Lenin knew nothing about atomic
energy, which upsets all his notions
of matter" Marks predictions
about the inevitable" development
of capitalism have not been sus-
tanned by events, as the Soviet econ

of it is that Gov. Hunt. who has
given the State sensible, middle
of-tne road administration, fits
much more closely than Robertson
does into the Dewey Warren frame
work as they have been building III
in their campaign speeches.
Senator Robertson, one of the few
Senate millionaires, is a conservative
isolationist, one of six who, to the
end. said no to the European Re-
covery Program. His distaste 1or
part of the company he kept-Sen-
ator Taylor, the Wallace candidate
for Vice President-was absolute
but principle prevailed over the per-
sonalities involved. Senator Rob-
ertson was also for Senator TAFT
before Philadelphia.
But Republicans must organize
the Senate if they can and tnelr
margin at present is four, with sew
eral of their incumbents IN danger.
So governors Dewey and Warren
are seeing their duty and doing IT,
AS the classic political gag has IT,
Robertson may be so-and-so out
he is their so-and-so, at least until
after the Senate is organized.

r. can be said absolutely that
Gov. Dewey will bow his head to
this iron necessity in every case, al

fused. Following his nomination,
Gov. Dewey protected his position
Iby public disclosure that he had
told West Virginia politicos asking
help this fall for Senator Rever-
comb that he had his doubts.
Now, his advisers explain, such
doubts are luxuries Gov. Dewey
can't afford this year. Probably
they are rather pleased to have said
doubts well publicized in pivotal
States where the public may be less
realistic about politics.
Gov. Dewey himself is popular in
Wyoming. He carried it in "a, and
a great reception is planned for
him. Again, President Truman has
probably improved his position in
the Western State with his plain
speaking and Democrats say he
might make it. But the edge is
Deweys, and the Democrats will be
we'll satisfied if they can hold him
down and extricate Gov. Hunt
only.
Naturalized in 1927.
It will not be easy. A stockman,
Senator Robertson is widely known
in the State to which-an English
man and veteran of the Boer War
ne came around 1915. He was
naturalzed in 1927 and married the
widow of q prominent Wyoming
business man. There has been no
particular outcry here about his ex-
tremely conservative record in
Washington and he has solid
strength both on the range and in
town.
Democratic hopes are frankly
built on the fact that, as they put
it, Gov. Hunt is such a fine fel-
low. The contrast between his
genial personality and the coldly
correct, self-important Senator
Robertson is being displayed in a
grass-roots campaign but it is never
mentioned.
Gov. Hunt argues his own good
record and depends, too, on the
help and popularity of the senior
senator, Joe OMahoney, who took
the State by 10000 majority in the
dismal Democratic year OF '46.
Senator OMahoney played the

war are Just about spent. Whatever
remain are a mere shadow OF the
past. They lack artillery, ammuni-
ton and planes, as we'll as gasoline
for the few planes which remain.
It is true that Congress appro-
priated about $125 5,000, 900 for mill
tary support to China. But only a
negligible amount Of equipment
bought with this money has found
its way to ports controlled by the
National Government. Although the
Nanking government was prepared
for a long time to use its remaining
gold funds for military equipment
in the United States, the State
Departments embargo on the ex-
port of war materials prevented such
an operation.
Last year, under pressure Of the
special session of Congress, the
State Department was coerced into
liberalizing that policy, but this lib
eralization was nominal. In the
months since then China has OBJ
tanned from this country limited
and insufficient amount of military
equipment. There are still some in
the State Department who consider
the Chinese Communists as nothing
more than agrarian reformers and
Gen. Chiang's government a reac-
tionary organization.
The world situation has become
so grave that we cannot neglect any
potential theater of operations. And
there is no question that the Far
East-and particularly China-will
be called on to play an important
part in the event of a third world
war.
While we are devoting all our at
tention to Europe's potential and
our strategic Planners are debating
the ways and means Of coping with
possible Soviet aggression in West
ern Europe and the Middle East,
the China theater is being neglected
because, it is said, there Is moth
ing much we can do about it."

Siberia is regarded as important
militarily because in the event Of a
Russian showdown with America,
it appears highly probable that the
Russians will attempt to attack
Alaska from that part OF the So

government not only is providing
its stooges in China with the neces-
sary war equipment and technical
advice, but also has increased Gen.
Mao Tse-tung's forces with fresh
and well-trained Japanese troops,
repeatedly to the tune OF 100000
men.
These are prisoners of war be-
longing to the once-powerful Kwan-
tung Army. In 1945 they were taken
to Siberia, where they were screened.
The hopeless cases"-that is, those
who believe firmly in the Emperor
and in Japan's survival-were sent
to labor camps and the Siberian
mines. Those who expressed their
willingness to serve the Red empire
were put through thorough in
doctrination and organized into
military units to serve Moscow's
purposes.
According to official statements of
the Tokyo government, which are
supported by evidence from Chinese
intelligence, the Communist forces
in China now have added to their
ranks some 100000 first-class jap
anese soldiers, principally aviators
and tank experts.
These units, which have been in
into the Red armies of
the Far East, are doing an excellent
job for their masters and are prin-
cipally responsible for Gen. Maos
spectacular successes against the de-
pleted, war-weary and sadly un-
equipped divisions Of Gen. Chang.
The National Governments posi-
tion is increasingly difficult. Besides
an overwhelming economic crisis,
due principally to the undeclared
war which Russia is waging against
Gen. Chang through the Commu-
mist regime, the Chinese government
is faced with fast-tiring army.
The excellent troops which the
United States trained during the
