On the Other Hand
AS Liberals, Knowland and Lodge
Belong in Taft's 5.and.1O Group

Senators on each. The issues chosen
we're: Reduction of Marshall Plan
funds, liberalization of the displaced
persons bill. three-year extension OF
reciprocal trade agreements, portal
pay bill. overriding of Taft Hartley
veto, strengthening anti-infiation
BILL excess profits tax, overriding
Knutson tax bill veto. exempting
railroads from antitrust law, Fed
eral aid to education, weakening
rent control, elimination Of public
housing. overriding veto Of bill to
limit social security coverage. resto-
ration Of funds for iva steam plant
and segregation in Southern schools.
What Record Shows.
On these issues Senator Taft
voted five times with what the New
Republic calls the "progressives." ten
times with the "antiprogressives "
Senator Lodge made exactly the
same score, and so did Senator
Knowland.
The three, however, did not pick
exactly the same five and ten issues
with which to express their progress
sivism. Senators Lodge and Know
land supported full funds for Euro
pean aid: Senator Taft did not. SEN
ators Taft and Lodge approved
liberalization of the displaced per-
sons bill; Senator Knowland did
not. Senators Knowland and Taft
supported aid to education: Senator
Lodge did not. Senators Taft and
Lodge cast sntisegregation votes;
Senator Knowland did not. On all
the other issues the three voted
alike.
Using this same test on the more
leftward Republicans, 1t Is revealed
that the number of times Senator
Morse voted with the progressives
was 10; Tobey, 8: Aiken, 8: Salton-
stall, 6; Ives, 6; Flanders. 6; Bald
win, 8.
And since some of those now pro-
posing to reorganize the Senate Re-
publicans suggest Senator Millikin
OF Colorado as a middle-of- the
roader who might be acceptable to
all, it can be told that his progress
sive votes numbered two. Which put
him just two votes to the left of
Senator Ecton of Montana, who was
the only Senator refusing to cast a
single vote that the liberals could
call liberal.

the Soviet zone
have been reshuffled and have gone
into winter quarters in areas mucn
closer to the Allied zone than In the
past. The artillery strength OF these
divisions also has been considerably
increased, according to latest avail
able reports.
The entire Western army area" )"
comprising Poland, the Baltic prov
inces and Eastern Germany, has
been placed under the command OF
the hitting and able Marshal
Konstantin Rokossovsky. who dealt
a death blow to the NaZi defensive
forces in Eastern Germany in l945,
The reports of this change only re-

Sheived Leaders Back.
Marshal Rokossovsky was put ION
ice" after the war ended, together
with other Soviet war heroes like
Marshals Georgi Zhukov and Seme-
on K. Timoshenko. The Politburo
was concerned at that time over
their personal influence over the
troops they had led to victory and
believed that by removing them from
the limelight their prestige would be
forgotten. These men were suspected
of having become contaminated by
some Western ideas through their
contact with American and British
generals.
The Western commanders are
wondering now what Is happening
in the U. S S. r.. since some Of the
shelved men are being brought back
into the limelight. The great parade

ing. was the liberal branch of the
Eightieth Congress; compared to
the House it was the very palladium
of liberalism. Leader Taft himself,
when lined up beside Leader Joe
Martin, appears as one clothed In
shining armor. Yet all the talk Is
of retiring Senator Taft, not Rep
resentative Martin.
Taft May Have Idea.
This is hard to understand, un-
less there is fear that Senator TAFT
may emerge once more as a can
didate for the presidential nomi7
nation-and this time get it. Sen
ator Taft may even have that idea
himself. He could argue that under
all the circumstances he wouldn't
have done any worse this year
than Gov. Dewey did, even with the
record of the reactionary House to
embarrass him. Being one who be-
lieves that championships are never
won running away, he knows that
he would have stood up and fought
it out with President Truman. And
he could convince himself that that
might have made all the difference.
So he may be planning, in his secret
soul, to try again.
Well, there are others who would
like that nomination, or, at least,
the Senate leadership. They don't
say so, but they don't disavow the
kind things being said about them
by their friends. Two names per-
sistently put forward are those OF
Senators Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts, and William F,
Knowland of California. They, it is
said. represent the young progress
sives among the Senate Repub-
licans; not quite the Tobey, Aiken.
Morse type, to be sure, but the Bald
win, Saltonstall, Ives, Flanders type.
This makes 1t necessary to look at
the record. Since the issue is lib
eralism we can take the record COM
piled for campaign purposes by the
liberal weekly, New Republic. This

than Marshal Timoshenko, whom
many had considered completely
purged.
Marshal Zhukov, whose absence
from Odessa on the same day was
interpreted as an indication that
he had once more fallen from grace,
is reliably reported to be on an i'm
portant inspection tour in that area
whence in the event of war Red
divisions would move against Tur-
key.
But what is considered even more
significant than the return of some
World War II marshals, whom the
Politburo now regards as safe, are
the recent changes in Poland. The
Red Army recently announced that
the number of Soviet troops in that
satellite state had been reduced.
Careful investigation shows that this
is only partially true.
Striking Power Increased.
Some personnel belonging to the
supply and signal services have been
returned across the border, thus re-
ducing the overall number of Red
soldiers in that country. But the
striking power of the divisions sta
toned in Poland has been consider
ably increased, particularly by the
addition of new artillery and avia-
ton units.
This reshuf1iling Of Soviet mill
tary power is not considered by mill
tary experts as a defensive move,
as some wishful thinkers describe
it. The movement of the combat
strength of the Soviet Army which
faces the weak Western forces. and
especially the increase in the fire
power of its artillery, which the Red
generals still consider the most i'm
portant asset in modern warfare.
tends to confirm the stories which
are being circulated in the highest
quarters in Poland and Eastern Ger
many. These stories are that the
Kremlin has had enough Of being
pushed around by the Western i'm
perialists," and unless something
drastic is done to meet the lust
Soviet" point of view, there may be
fireworks in the near future.
These rumors are not taken
seriously in responsible quarters in
Washington and London. They con-
slider them as part and parcel of the
cold war the Kremlin has been
waging for a long time and are
thought to be intended merely to
increase the intensity Of the cam
paign which the Politburo is con-
vinced will bring Russia tangible

Editorial Writer'S Told
By Hutchins That They
Are NOT Responsible
BY the Assecioisd Press

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 20.-Dr
Robert M. Hutchins talked like {
Dutch Uncle" yesterday to more
than 100 of the Nations newspaper
editorial writer's.
DR.. Hutchins, chancellor of the
University of Chicago. chided them
for what he called their inability
to take criticism, and. then heaped
on more critical remarks, including
the charge that they are not re-
sponsible.
The Chicago educator was q
speaker at the National Conference
Of Editorial Writers. Most of his
criticism was based on newspaper
reaction to the 1947 report Of the
Commission on the Freedom of the
Press.
DR.. Hutchins was chairman of
the commission, which was pri-
vately financed.
Il shall try to tell you what I
think of you," DR.. Hutchins said.
And he did.
Writers Called Teachers.
Il shall begin by paying you the
greatest compliment in my power
I think you are teachers. I did not
say you were good teachers. Look
at what you did to the report OF
the Commission on the Freedom OF
the Press"
DR.. Hutchins said some of the
editorial writer's read the commits
sion's report incorrectly, some
treated it unfairly, some used un-
truthful headlines and some just
plain lied about it.
"One thing that would be help;
full" DR.. Hutchins said, would be
to have you stop exhibiting Eeurotic
symptoms every time ANYBODY criti-
cizes you. After all, your right to
criticize is protected by a constitu-
tional provision.
But I never understood that the
first amendment said that the right
of the press to be free from criticism
is forever guaranteed; or that any
body who criticizes the press should
be regarded as seeking to repeal
this amendment"
People Don't Take Advice.
The speaker said the American
people may be buying newspapers,
but they are paying no attention
to the advice they give"
The reason the people who buy
your newspapers do not take your
advice is that they do not believe
what you say" he continued. They
do not believe what you say because
they do not believe you are disinter-
ested. They do not believe you are
responsible.
DR.. Hutchins said people may buy
newspapers for q variety of reasons:
To keep up with their favorite comic
strip. To learn who won the nth
race at their favorite track or to
see what's on sale in the department
stores.
They do not buy them for the
editorials" he said. They read the
editorials, II at all, for amusement;
they do not read them for instruc-
tion."
Choice Is Limited.
DR.. Hutchins said the argument
that people will quit buying news
papers they don't like is invalid.
What a thought that must be for
the citizens /" = I" where people have
to buy the papers Of one owner or
60 without" he said.
A newspaper must make money,
the speaker said, but: 1T Is prop
er to ask whether 1t is discharging
its responsibility for public enlight-
eminent"

Weather Summary For September

The month of September was an unusually cold month with the mean temperature falling well be- low the normal Most of the pre- cipitation fell in the last five days of the month but still did not quite come up to the normal. The snow fall for the month exceeded the normal by better than two inches but most of this fell on the 26th and 27th of the month, and did not stay on the ground.
 The prevailing direction of the wind for the month was north, which is normal for September, and the highest velocity for the month, 49 miles per hour from the southeast was exactly the same as the normal for the month.
 With regards to sunshine and av- craze cloudiness September was qui a normal month.

There is evidence, he went on that some Russian leaders hold "a warped, twisted view of conditions outside the ! Soviet union"
 Osborn, a specialist on atomic questions, accused Russia specific ally of destroying representative governments, forcefully annexing territory, obstructing peace treat ies, rejecting atomic control and using 28 votes in the U.

Kansas City Embargo
Fails 10 Halt Wheat
BY the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, July 1O.-Whest
consigned for this Midwest market
before imposition of a temporary
rail embargo continued today to add
to the record flood of the grain into
terminal and elevator facilities.
The ban went into effect last
night after the second straight rec
ordbreaking day of rail arrivals.
The weeks arrivals totaled 10,077
cars after receipt OF 1886 cars yes
terday.
r. E. Clark, manager of boxcar
distribution for the Association Of
American Railroads who announced
the embargo, estimated an addi-
tional 1,247 cars are within a 100
mile radius of the city waiting for
track space. Another 1000, he said,
are en- route here.
Already 1884 care are in railroad
yards for unloading.
Mr.. Clark pointed out that there
was no shortage OF boxcars-the
problem is one of unloading. Crews
will work through today and to-
morrow with a Is per cent increase
in strength in an effort to break
the bottleneck.
Grainmen said there is enough
grain in the terminal now to keep
crows unloading at top speed for
five days but hope for an end to the
embargo then.
