DRAFT:
Machinery

Peacetime selective service actu-
ally had been all but a reality for
months before President Truman
put his signature to the draft bill.
The gears, wheels and levers Of
the draft machine needed but
flick Of the finger to start turning
out citizen-soldiers for the benefit
Of the nation.
So much spadework has been done
that the office of selective service
records estimated that it could have
inductees on the way in 60 to 80
days after the law becomes effec-
tive.
Those 19-to-25 year olds eligible
for service can expect something
like this:
There will be no hoop-la or gold
fish bowl drawings. Instead Of
being determined by lottery the
order of induction probably will be
figured out according to age groups.
It is likely that 21-year-o1ds will
start the proceedings. After the
registration, all men over 81 and
under % would be classified. Those
not exempt would be put into Class
Ia as eligible for immediate induc-
ton. Whether the first age group
selected would be exhausted before
another is called up had not yet
been decided.
Military authorities estimate that
about two out Of every three men
in the 19-through-25 bracket who
are single and non-veterans will
have to serve in the army, navy,
air force or marines, either as
draftees or volunteers. Roughly,
there are about 1852, 900 single nom
veterans in that age group.
The whole business will have a
familiar ring for Americans who
can, without half trying, remember
the details connected with getting
an army together for World War II.

MIDDLE INCOME:
That's 1920

Any American family which could
add up the wages it received in
1947 and get $2,920 for the total had
earned a middle income" accord
ing to the way the federal reserve
board has it figured out.
That middle income" UP 1920
from 1946, incidentally, means that
half of all the AZ million us. fani-
lies made more than that while the
other half made less.
About SO per cent or 2S,980,0oO
families had a joint income of
$4,000 or more last year. By con-
trast, in the mid-1930s fewer than
&c million families had incomes at
that level. But dollar bought con-
siderably more then than it does
now.
Twenty-one out of each 100 fam
lilies rated incomes above $4,000 in
1947, while eight Of that group got
more than $500 a year.
However, not all were in the top
money. Of each 100 families 13 had
incomes under 1000 and another 18
earned between $1,000 and $4,000.
But even many of the well-to-do
were unhappy about the whole
thing. They felt that they were be-
coming worse off financially be-
cause of the high cost Of living.
According to the federal reserve
boards sample survey, those per-
sons who own their own business or
manage somebody else's earn the
most money. Middle income for
families headed by ga managerial
or self-emp1oyed person" was
$4,5OO.
Next on the list were professional
workers with a middle income Of
$4,000. Skilled and semi-skilled
workers followed with $4,000, clerks
and salespeople with $4,000 and I'M
skilled workers with $1,000.

mentioned as the substitute site, al
though nations supporting the idea

this fall at the Paris assembly.
The whole plan might 60 down
the drain, however, If congress were
to approve the 65-million-dollar
loan to the U.N. for building the
projected skyscraper headquarters
In Manhattan.
AS usual, there is play Of forces
behind the scenes on this question.
The Arab states favor moving the
U.N. to Europe, primarily because
they are bitter over the success
Zionist Jews have had in influenc-
ing the us.
Britain originally wanted Euro
pean site and might, under certain
conditions, revert to that stand.
Russia, another question mark, is
expected to grasp the opportunity
to attack the US. for failure to
keep promises should congress fail
to approve the loan.

aged to toss off the biggest bundle
of foreign relief cash so far.
Paul G. Hoffman, ECA admin
istrator, approved the assignment
of $95, for 10 European coun-
tries, including Trieste, and China.
The action brought total Marshall
plan authorizations from available
funds to $393, 3,737,O29.
Countries sharing in the new ap-
prevails were Great Britain, The
Netherlands, France, French zone
of Germany, Austria, Denmark,
Italy, Norway, Greece, Trieste and

The assignment of almost 96 mill
lion dollars in foreign aid funds
served to point up the squabble set
off in congress when the house
voted to spread the recovery funds
over 13 months instead Of II, there
by producing the effect of slashing
aid appropriations by one to two
billion dollars.
While the senate restored the ap-
propriations cut, many us. leaders
were gravely worried about another
possible significance Of the house
action.
Theory was that the house, by
cutting ECA appropriations, demon
strated that Republican organiza-
ton bosses are determined to fight,
and reverse if possible, the line Of
foreign policy represented by the
Marshall plan. I

HOLD FIRE
Still No Peace

For a little while the dove of
peace drifted over Palestine on
frayed and weary wing as Arab and
Israeli armies were observing,
more or less loosely, four-week
truce in the war for possession OF
the Holy Land.
At best the United Nations-super-
vised truce agreement was fret
full and uneasy affair. Before the
four-week mediation period was
two days old both Arabs and Jews
had begun charging each other
with violations of the pact.
Count Folke Bernadotte, U.N.
truce negotiator, was investigating
the accusations, but it looked very
much as though another security
council cease-fire order might go
unloved, unhonored and unobeyed.
Actually, it is difficult to see how
any synthetically imposed truce
could succeed in Palestine. There
are no basic grounds upon which
a genuine interruption of hostilities
could rest. Both sides profess mill
tary proficiency and the ability to
keep on fighting and winning.
And, more important, each side is
fanatically opposed to modifying its
demands: Israel is determined to
retain it's sovereignty and to have
unlimited immigration of Jews into
the state. The Arabs are just as
determined to erase the state OF
Israel from the map.
Thus, there is little confidence in
the security councils truce plan
and its power to effect peace. And
that pessimism was heightened by
the knowledge that no U.N. cease
fire edict has worked yet.
Aside from the seriousness OF the
struggle for Palestine itself, deep
est significance of the affair lay in
the fact that it is raising once more
the old question Of whether any
world peace organization Of nations
ever can succeed in the task it sets
for itself-the maintenance Of peace
and order on earth.
Pressure of world opinion which
is all the U.N. security council can
bring to bear, lacking both military
teeth and the power to bring eco
nomic sanctions against offending
nations-apparent1y is not going to
be enough, at least in the case Of
Palestine.
One inference which may be
drawn is that the U.N. will need
more power Of one kind or another
before it can prevail against the
fetish Of blind, militant nationalism
that has hurled the world into two
major wars already in this century.

Convention COUerage
Took Much Planning

Convention hall in Philadelphia,
as the Republican convention got
under way, was no sight for the sore
eyes of Harold McGrath and Bob
Menaugh, superintendents respec-
lively of the senate and house
radio galleries and Bill Henry,
president of the Radio Correspon-
dents association.
Since October, 1947, they've prac-
tically been committing from Wash
ington to Philadelphia to inspect
the hall, plan where broadcasts
should originate, decide where net
work and independent radio news
broadcasters of varying degrees Of
Importance should be seated, confer
with Republican and Democratic
politicos, supervise hotel accom-
modations and, most vital Of all,
hurt nobody's feelings in the pro-
cess.
Four hundred and SO radio
news-men were assigned to cover
the Republican convention as
compared to the 40 radiOmen ac-
credited eight years ago and 100
i'm 1914.
Forty-four organizations in addi-
ton to the four major networks
originated broadcasts from the con-
vention; 81 Of these shows came

gram, it undoubtedly carried a
great propaganda impact abroad
and, to a smaller extent, inside the
us.
President Truman's Berkeley
speech was a creditable reply.
His theme was that the Soviet
Union is acting as an aggreSsor and
obstructor Of world peace, and he
postulated the theory that there is
no likelihood of settling disputes be-
tween the two nations by negotia-
ton so long as Russia continues to
WELD international communism as
a weapon to influence the course of
world events.
The American intent, he said, is
to deal with the East-West cleavage
by deeds, not propaganda.
"We shall judge the policy Of
every nation by whether it advances
or obstructs world progress toward
peace and we wish our own policy
to be judged by the same standard"
AS measuring stick for that
principle Mr.. Truman suggested
that Russia begin the demonstra-
ton of her good intentions, if any,
by halting the perilous strife in
Greece and Korea.
Thus, both Americans and Rus
slams know where the us. stood.

Wars can be prevented, said
Bradley, just as surely as they can
be provoked, and therefore 1--WE
who fail to prevent them must
share in guilt for the dead"
That thesis of General Bradley's
that it requires positive peacetime
action to stop wars is concurred
in by Clarence Streit, president of
Federal Union, Incorporated, an
organization working for the feder-
alization of the free countries Of tbs
world.
Streit's argument, made before the
house foreign affairs committee,
did not get the publicity it should.
Streit said that only through free
dom can peace come.
Specifically, if the free nations
unite in a federation (by free ma
tions, he refers to nations which are
not dominated by any foreign power
and where at least the theory Of
democracy, as we understand it,
obtains) these free nations can as
sure peace. He suggests as charter
members Of the federation the
United States, the United Kingdom,
France, Switzerland, Belgium, Lux
emburg, The Netherlands, Denmark,
Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Fire,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Streit says further that power
can be divided into four suits, like
a deck of cards, and that these Is
democracies, If they federate, can
hold every ace. He lists them:
''The Ace of Clubs: Armed power.
Not only would their soldiers, if
united, number as many as Rus
sia's and be much more mobile and
better-equipped, but this union
would begin by having the bulk Of
the worlds airpower; 80 per cent Of
its naval tonnage; advance bases
everywhere on earth; 100 per cent
atomic power.
1.-THE Ace of Spades: Productive
power. Despite the tangle on tar
ifs and currencies, these democ-
racies outproduce the rest Of the
world. Think what they could do
with a free flow of trade similar to
that among our own states!
''The Ace of Diamonds: Raw ma
terial power. No need of separate
stockpiling Of essentials. These ma
tions would produce so to 80 per
cent Of most Of them.
"The Ace Of Hearts: Moral power.
This union would unite all lands
towards which the rest of humanity
has looked for refuge from oppres-
sion and leadership toward liberty.
Nothing can appeal to men so deep
ly as can individual freedom-and
to back it up with every ace is to
add irresistible authority to its
appeal"
think that is q very concise
and logical statement. Western
Europe already is moving toward
a union, slowly, out Of necessity,
because there is NO OTHER
WAY!
The peoples of the world do not
want war; the free nations, having
achieved freedom, have no cause
for war except to defend that free
dom. The federation could main
tain freedom. without war, for no
one would dare challenge it.
