NON-POLITICAL:
Trun1an's Tour

President Truman's "non-politi-
cal swing through the West could
be described as non-political 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.
1t 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.
Specifically, he dashed out at the
idea that communism can be legls-
lated out of existence.
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 his lambasting of
the Republican congress-this time
concentrating on COP farm policies
in a speech at the Ak-Sar-Ben
coliseum in Omaha. Realistically,
IL the coliseum which has a "a
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-
ton in Omaha to lay off the po-
litical hoop-la, and the organization
acted in compliance with those in
~structions. Payoff came when no.
body else showed up to fill the ach-
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 or his train
and rode away into the setting sun
in search of happier hunting
grounds.

DRAFT:
DebatabLe

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 rs in sufficient numbers to
bring the armed services up to their
authorized strength. The bill would
permit 18-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 regu-
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.

GERMANY:
NeU Plan

Pivotal point of a healthy and
prosperous Europe, Germany long
has been under scrutiny by the AL
lied powers who have been search
ing for a way to return it to the
world family of nations without
starting another s~quabble.
Zonal partition of Germany per-
haps has been the biggest hind
rance to the formulation of such a
plan, and Russia consistently has
objected to re-establishing an auton-
omous German government.
Now, however, a new plan was
afoot. The U. S. and five other
friendly powers - Britain, France,
Belgium, Luxembourg and The
Netherlands - revealed a scheme
for self-government in western Ger
many.
At the same time notice was
served on Russia that occupation
troops will remain there until the
peace of Europe is secured"
The plan calls for international
control of the Ruhr and for steps
toward converting a German con-
stituent assembly in the three west
ern Ito prepare a constitu-
ton for approval of the participant
ing states"
That was the skeleton of a pro-
gram which might put Germany
back on it's feet.
Reaction in the U. S. was favor
able. The state department hailed
it as a major step toward recovery
in Europe, and it also was regard
ed as a body blow to Russia in the
cold war.
But, although the plan asserted
with some vehemence that Ger
many must not again be permitted
to become al aggressive power"
there was some worry as to whether
France would approve it.
Does the decision to 60 ahead
with the political rehabilitation Of
western Germany to the exclusion
of Russia's eastern one mean that
the defeated nation is finally and
irrevocably split?
U. S. officials don't Il ink so. The
theory is that although it was Rus
STA itself which forced the western
powers to act without Russia, the
new program does not preclude the
participation of the rest of Germany
in the new self-governing federation
if and when the people of the Sow
let zone want in.

AID SLASH:
LESS RecOUery'?

Sen. Arthur Vandenberg was
fighting mad at what the house of
representatives had done to his po-
htical 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 adj
ministration's hope of retaining
the appropriations cut in senate &C
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

MINE TALKSs
More Snags

AS usual John L. Lewis was min
ing the channels Of possible agree
ment in the latest series of con
tract discussions between him anc
representatives of the soft coal mine
operators.
The explosive the UNIV CHIEF
planted this time was a demand that
the operators first guarantee wei
fare aid for distressed miners be-
fore they a expect his union to
sign a new contract.
Thus, the Lewis situation" in the
United States was being brought to
the fore again.
Already the possessor of enough
government in%junctions to paper
the den of his Springfield, Ill, home,
Lewis received another n before
he would consent to bargain with
the operators on a new 1948-49 con-
tract. (The old contract expires
June 30.)
U. S. District Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough issued the latest in
junction ordering Lewis to bargain
with the Southern Coal Producers
association. The mine chief pre-
viously had refused to bargain with
the association because the IA men,
Der groups were being represented
at the contract talks by just
man.
However, Lewis bowed to the in
junction and agreed to talk.
In the course of this talk n of
the first things he did was to call
the mine operators "fat CATS and
then wave an arrogant club at them
with these words:
I'VE assume that you would de-
plore any impairment of your abb
normal income after July l. Such
an assumption would seem to be a
logical predicate for the making Of
a new wage agreement before that
date"
Briefly, it looked as though Lewis
was determined to strike again. De-
prived of n snag, he Immediately
grasped another. AS a result the
first round of contract talks was
fruitless.

diture of SIS, $50, 710,228 to be spread
out over a period of Is months.
The administration had asked S.
3 3,710,228 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 ap-
preparation would mean putting Eu-
rope on a relief dole, rather than
helping it to its feet.
But Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. ",
chairman of the house appropria-
tons 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 II months for that t.
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.
