N May Restrict Flow of Arms
 To Europe Now

WASHINGTON, April 4-R- Signing of the historic North At .antic Defense Treaty today was accompanied Ky Senate talk of possibly restricting the flow of U. s. 1rms to Europe for the first year of the treaty.
 Such a policy would be designed to counter Russian charges that the treaty-contrary to positive declarations from the signers-is motivated by an intent of aggres- sion against the soviet bloc of nations.
 As discussed by some Senators, when the treaty comes before the Senate for ratification it would carry a proviso that the Senate is not promising automatically to back it up with military supplies. Senator George D-Ga said he fears American troops may be asked to garrison Western Europe's frontiers under the treaty if the United States starts out to develop
 l full-scale program of military aid In other Congressional develop ments.
 China-the Senate voted unani- mously to let non-Communist China have s54,0OO,000 left over .lom former aid fund for that ountry. A similar bill is pending 1 n the House.
 l Farms - the House lappropria- 5ions committee approved a bumper
 neacetime money bill of ST01, ,l22,079 for the Agriculture department for the fiscal year 1850 starting July 1. The committee said the problems of agriculture may become worse
 cefore they hecome better.".. The House group also disclosed testimony by Secretary of Agricul- ture Grammar saying federal sup port of farm prices should be con- tinued to prevent another farm
 fed" depression.
 Grammar said agriculture gener- ally is still going, but the peak of
 prosperity for farmers seems defi- nitely to have passed.
 Housing "a Democratic Senator predicted that Mir Truman's seven- year program for the construction of 1,050,00O public housing units faces a new cut in Congress.
 When the bill comes up for Sen ate debate, perhaps next week,
 there will be a drive to trim the figure to 600,0O0 units in six years.

SUNSHINE"
By Mrs. Nellie Maye Taylor

umn are those of the writer and

torial opinion of The Arizona Sun.
The Editor.l
Hello there, here and every
where. All eyes are focused on our
Nations Capital and our President
of these United States. With most
odds against him, am just won
dering how the poor fellow is go
ing to work out so many porblemS
confronting him. I would hate to
be in his shoes even for his stock
ings, wouldn't you? I wonder why
a fellow wants to be President, he
can make much more monye being
an actor, preacher or racketeer. Do
you dig me? I think being Presi-
dent of these United States is one
of the greatest jobs and problems
any individual can have. veryone
thinks his problems should be in
vestigated, especially the minori-
ties. Here are some of the things
we expect to be worked out there
before our problems out here are
mentioned. The use of Constitution
Hall, which was refused the great
singer, M. Anderson, because she
is a Negro. It is operated by the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton. I guess Christopher Attucks
has been forgotten. Or maybe they
were too stupid to read or study
American history. Admit Negroes
to all buildings, shows, hospitals,
cafes, lunch counters, hotels, parks,
districts where his money will al
low him to build. In other words
abolish prejudice and segregation
which in my way of thinking is
very un-American. Now Mr.. Presi-
dent if you can accomplish all that
in four years, you will have the
praise and honor of 13 million
Negroes as being the greatest man
and President Of These United
States, you will also win honor
from abroad too. If you don't be-
lieve me Mr.. President, I'll just
dare you to try it. Our thought for
today is, "Have faith and find the
good in all mankind, regardless of
his outward appearance" Many a
smooth shell nus have been found
to contain a worm after cracking.
On the other hand much gold has
been panned from worthless look
ing sand. Forget looks and seek
value.
Bye now-so long-'til then.

ITS A BIG JOB

"A task unprecedented in its scope, size ana urgency" is that facing the men and women of the present Legislature, Gov. Gruening told the assembly in his message delivered to joint session Of the Senate and House Tuesday morning.
 Commenting the legislators for the passage of the income tax bill the governor asked for passage oi the other revenue measuresthe general property tax ana the business licenses law to care for the Shoooooo program he has outlined for the next biennlum
 One thing was obvious above all else in the snort extraordinary session that ended Saturday Tax meas ures had been called for several were introduced put one the income tax measure HAD to be passed Even in discussions of this it was apparent that few if any knew exactly how much revenue u would nrovide how much it would cost to administer
 In spite of the really tremendous task before the Iegislaure during the next 58 days, there Snouo pc no need for the frenzied rush to slam through pro- pram so obvious during the last two weeks

Lawlessness in Ketchikan
(Ketchikan News)

 Ketchikan is home town. It has less lawess- ress than most Alaskan towns We want to keep it that way
 But we can't do so if we allow enforcement of- ficials to be soft" with bootlegger and gambling racketeers.
 statement from the Ministerial Association on the front page today indicates that there has been serious miscarriage of justice The accusations made should be investigated by proper authorities at once
 procrestination means for worse things to follow.
 If law enforcement is allowed to break down III one nace vice conditions will rapidly spread. The word will go out that Ketchkan is a sucker town; come and get t" Lawless elements will flock in For the "pickings."
 The Daily News believes we have an efficient chief of police and of the finest group of ponce- men in Ketchikans history. Chief Lang and Clty Manager Mcconnell did their part Tn gettmg the evidence against some of the socalled respectable dives
 It was difficult and up- hill task. But the job was done However some place along the line the Federal enforcement agency nuified the expense and hard work of getting the evidence by slappng the offenders on the wrist" with nominal fines
 Under such a system the law-breakers could be raided and fined every week and make the money back in one night
 This is something in which every mother and father should take active interest in To send thelr children to school with the exepnse and sacrifices attached to raising family, and then to allow the lure of attractive holes to exist under their very noses not the part of good citizens wanting common decencv Worst of all, indifference will discourage honest and capable officers such as the Daily News believes have. Those who help up because of trade from such sources are Just as bad as the law violatorS
 We don't expect to make Ketchikan Sunday School town = but let's keep it decent real HOME TOWN!

HIGH PRICE UF BLUES

The Forrestal- -Mainbccher hats designed for the Waves cost the Waves S2l each, which some of the girls consider more in keeping With Mainbochers Duchess of Wlndsor clientele. Out of the $264 allow ance. a Wave has to buy S33.lo Mainbocher raincoat, a $33.3O Main bocher overcoat, S13.90 Mainbocer blouse, plus such accessories as underthings, hosiery, gloves, shces' purses and, of course, makeup.
 When the announcement of these prices was first made by Wave Commandant Captain w. Under wood, now retired, she remarked ruefully: Nothing is furnished but the aoney, and not too much of that
 Senator Langer contends that there is no reason why enlisted women should be discriminated against, and that since the sailors and soldiers get free uniforms, Waves should be treated likewise.

COP PREPARING FOR NEXT ELECTION

Minutes Oi the seciet Republican
 -afe.onee. Senator Owen Brewster of Maine urged COP colleagues to start campaigning now for 1850. Though 1t is customary for the Senatorial Campaign Committee to lay dormant for six months, Brew ster warned it must be put into gear without pause for the two- year stretch ahead
 Senator Irving Ives of New York suggested 1t was more important for the Republicans to worry about making a record in the present congress. He urged that they start off by fighting for rules change in the Senate to break up filibusters. The Republicans had promised to make this the first order of business in January, any way, he reminded them
 Balance of the time was taken up strengthening out committee as signments. Senators Robert Taft of Ohio and Hugh Butler of Ne Lraska waived their seniority ta allow Colorado's Eugene Millikin to be listed as first-ranking Repub- hcan on the Finance Committee but only for two years. Senator Chan Gurney of South Dakota re- ported that New hamrshire's Sen- ator Styles Bridges had agreed to let him continue as Republican spokesman on the Armed Services Committee, though they hadn't settled who should be listed first on the committee roster. This de- c.sion was put off until Bridges returned from New Hampshire.
