AID SLASH:
LESS Recovery? .

Sen. Arthur Vandenberg was
fighting mad at what the house of
representatives had done to his pc.
litical baby. the world recovery pro-
gram, by slashing nearly a million
dollars from the appropriations for
the Europe-Asia aid bill.
On the Republican foreign policy
leader from Michigan rested the ad-
ministration's hope of retaining
the appropriations cut in senate ac-
ton on the measure.
Certainly, Vandenberg has a more
than usual affinity for global aid
program since it was he who
labored to steer the Marshall plan
to congressional approval last April.
What the house had done was to.
approve a total foreign aid expen-

NON-POLITICAL:
Truman's Tour

President Truman's "%non-politi-
cal" swing through the West could
be described as non-politica1 only
in the sense that Mr.. Truman, as
a candidate, for Democratic re-
nomination, had jettisoned many of
the rules of standard party poll
tics.
It was a lone wolf fight he was
waging-going over the heads. of
party leaders to talk directly to the
people. And most Of what he had
to say to the people concerned the
Republican congress and what he
termed its inaction.
In Chicago, speaking before the
Swedish Pioneer Centennial asso-
citation, he hammered out a plat
form upon which he can be expect
ed to base his chances for re-
nomination. It was a platform for
more and better democracy"
From Chicago the President, with
his encourage, headed for the heart
of the farm belt. Omaha, Neb, and
it was there that he was set sharp
ly back on his heels.
He continued shis lambasting Of
the Republican congress-this time
concentrating on COP farm policies
in a speech at the Ak-Sar-Ben
coliseum in Omaha. REALISTICALLY,
in the coliseum which has a Ca
pacity of 10000, fewer than 1000
persons were present to hear Mr..
Truman talk.
This phenomenon was variously
interpreted. Some said the Presi-
dents box office appeal had wilted.
Others claimed the Nebraska Demo-
cratic machine had done a miser-
ably inadequate job in promoting
his appearance.
Probably closer to the truth was
the plain fact that the "non-po-
litical" label of the presidential trip
had backfired seriously. He made a
political speech and had expected
to get a crowd of friendly Demo-
Gratis to fill the hall for the occa-
sion.
But the White House previously
had told the Democratic organiza-
ticn in Omaha to lay off the po-
Itical hoop-la, and the organization
acted in compliance with those in
structions. Payoff came when no.
body else showed up to fill the aci-
ing void which the Democrats Gre
ated by staying away.
1t was an unpleasant blow for
the campaigning Mr.. Truman and
one that might produce grave po-
litical repercussions.
But the President was resilient.
And in a more or less happy frame
Of mind he left Omaha on his train
and rode away into the setting SIN
in search Of happier hunting
grounds.

out over a period Of is months.
The administration had asked So
533,710,228 as the minimum fund
needed for a 12-month period.
Secretary Of State George Mar
shall, fighting hard against the cut,
had asserted that the smaller APP
preparation would mean putting Eu-
rope on a relief dole, rather than
helping it to its feet.
But Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. Y.),
chairman of the house appropria-
tions committee, went right ahead
and swung the ak. He said the
funds his committee proposed were
all that could be spent with any
degree of prudence.
Paul G. Hoffman, head of the Eu-
ropean recovery program, said he
certainly hoped" congress would
restore the cuts.
ERP was hardest hit in the fund
cut. Whereas congress previously
had authorized up to 4.245 billion
dollars in IL months for that 16-
nation recovery project, the appro-
priations bill as passed by the house
knocked that figure down to 4 bill
lion dollars for Is months.
Other reductions:
Assistance to Greece and Turkey
was cut from 275 million to 200
million dollars and aid to China cut
from 463 million to 400 million.

DRAFT
DebataBIe

In the waning days before ad-
journment of congress the senate
had buckled down to the task of
producing action on a limited re-
vival of the military draft.
The house was waiting only for
the senate to dispose of the ques-
ton before its members waded into
the tricky currents of a similar
measure.
Legislators in both houses were
treading gingerly about on the issue,
throbbing with the knowledge that
this is an election year and further
more there are any number Of
American parents ready to offer
material objections at the ballot box
if their boys are called up for MILL
tary service.
In the face of all this the senate,
nevertheless, was trying to do some
kind of a job. It's measure pro-
vided for the drafting of men 10
through Is in sufficient numbers to
bring the armed services up to their
authorized strength. The bill would
permit 1~8-year-olds to volunteer for
a years training. thus ~disposing Of
a universal military training act for
the present:
Among the side issues that arose
during the senate debate was the
old bugaboo of civil rights. After
an abortive two-hour filibuster by
southern Democrats, the senate
voted 81 to 35 to outlaw the poll
tax as a requirement for voting in
federal elections so far as members
of the armed forces are concerned.
Actually, it was a minor issue, in
asmuch as most of the seven
southern poll tax states still have
in effect wartime suspensions of
the tax for members of the armed
services.
Under the senate measure the
draft would be authorized for five
years, but the program is left flexi-
BILE enough so congress each year
could raise or lower both the reguD
lar and reserve forces to meet
shifting world conditions.
Drafted men. after completing
two years of service. would have
to serve in the reserve for five
years or, as a matter Of choice.
volunteer for an additional year In
the regular services or two years
in the national guard.

Religion
Nuns in Public Schools

Catholic nuns in North Dakota will
don civilian dress this fall to conform
with a new state law banning teach
ers in religious garb from public
schools.
Bishop Vincent ]. Ryan of Bismarck
said this week the Church has no OBJ
lection to nuns donning respectable
Secular dress" to comply with the
new school law.
About IS Catholic sisters teach in
North 'Dakota's public schools, mostly
in predominantly Catholic commune
arthritiS.
The law was approved at a June 20
primary election by a majority of TO-
600 votes. Called the "Gnti-garb" act,
it prohibits any public school teacher
from wearing clothes denoting mem-
bership in a religious order. It was
sponsored by a group of Protestants.
In a statement Bishop Ryan said
that some of the acts sponsors be-
lieved the law would bar Catholic sis-
ters from teaching. He said:
eve are informed by competent
legal authority that no law, under the
protection of our Constitution, can
discriminate against any teacher on
account of religious membership or
belief"
He pointed out that the Catholic
Church has taken similar action in
both Canada and Mexico under sim.
liar circumstances.

AERIAL: Jets Achilles Heel

sign over a wide field, the defense
experts said.
In turbO-jets, American designs in
production are as powerful as anv for
eign production models while Ameri-
can jet engines under development
surpass any of those known to he
under development abroad.
SupersOnic Flight
In the rocket field, the USAF's XII
is the only aircraft known to have
flown faster than sound. The speed of
sound at sea level, is 763 miles an
hour, dropping off to 66O miles at 40
600 feet. Information on Russian Jet
development is sketchy, but air pa
rades over Moscow during the last
year have shown several types of jet
fighters, with other reports of let
bOmbers. Russian fighters are reported
to include at least two twin-engine
jets and single-engine model.
A London newspaper reported re-
Gently that the Red air force is be-
lieved to have developed an expert
mental jet plane with a speed ap-
preaching 760 miles an hour.
Jet Noises Harmless
Although jets are known to produce
high-pitched noises which, while not
heard, are harmful to some animals.

showed mo outstanding i'll effects" to
humans.

ratory at Philadelphia, 10 Navy vol
unteers completed without incident a

filled ear "doughnuts" and cotton ear
plugs. After one 15-minute test with

DEMOCRATS: Plan SIugging Campaign

THE Democratic national con-
i ventiOn blueprinted this week
the type of campaign that party
spokes7nen will wage this fall in
an effort to avoid eviction from
the White House.
The party, under FD.R. and Presi-
dent Truman, has been a tenant for
Is years. In Washington, where there's
always a housing shortage, that's a
long time.
The campaign plan, premiered in
Philadelphia, is that it will be easier
to run against the Republican record
in Congress than against the Repub-
ican nominee for President.
The convention started off slowly.
Intra-party differences and the me-
teoric rise and fall of the Eisenhower
and Justice William o. Douglas booms
had left delegates hot, disgruntled and
despOndent. Galleries in the flag
draped, sitting convention hall were
half filed at the start.
Start of Barkley Boom
But the sad-eyed convention
came alive and 1892 delegates shouted
themselves hoarse when Sen. Alben
w. Barkley of Kentucky in the key
note address hit Republicans with re-
sponsibility for high prices and de-
clared the reactionary" record of the
Both Congress was the supreme issue
of l948.
His sharp incisive phrases captured
the delegates. Repeatedly he brought
them to their feet and several times
they cheered until he had to entreat
them to let him go on.
He said Republican promises to
hoUseclean in Washington reminded
him Of 1882 when even spiders in
federal cobwebs were weak from star
walton.
"A bureaucrat," he said, "is a Demo-
crat who has a job some Republican
wants"
What is this New Deal, he asked,
that Republicans blast as a plague yet
adopt in their party platform year
after year as if it were their own?
Barkley defined the New Deal as:
Employment of more than 61,OOO,-
600 AmeriCanS-COmpared with 15,-
100000 unemployed 16 years ago.

Tights by 1850

Women, according to a Hollywood
fashion expert, are going to be wear
ing skin tight underwear beneath
transparent dresses by 1850.
Slinky, full-fgured tights for winter
and thigh-length shorties or leotards
for summer are foreseen replacing the
traditional panties, step-ins, brassieres.
Lets face it, women's underwear
IS gOsh-awful," says Elois Jensen,
film designer. "a stocking attached
to a garter belt is revolving. Your
contemporary woman is as much a
martyr to style dictates as grandma
was to her painful corset"
The new tights, she believes, will
be in shades of shocking pink, jet
black and flesh tones. She predicts
that peek-a-bOo, transparent dresses
filmy and wispy-will be worn over
the fancy tights.
