Dim View in Congress
Interim Military Aid for Europe
To Fall Far Short of Presidents Goal

ators Vandenberg, Lodge. Smith
and lately Dulles. have borne the
brunt of the battle. Democrats
assert this was only sensible be-
cause most of the opposition and
the undecided were among the
minority; they admit their debt,
however.
But in the cloakroms. Republic
can complaints have mounted.
Bad timing. consultation far
enough in advance to make 1t
effective and a general here-it-is
spirit have been charged to the
other end of Pennsylvania avenue.
Senator Vandenberg is now out in
the open with a critical estimate
of the arms aid program which he
thinks has been badly mishandled
and about which he was not con-
suited at the start.
Tension in Atomic Field.
The increasing tension is most
apparent in the atomic energy field.
Republicans on the Joint Atomic
Committee appear to be coalesc-
ing in opposition to the Presi-
dents desire to make more gen.
erous exchange with Britain on
atomic matters. Acc Chairman
Lilienthal is not out of the woods
yet.
The President and Secretary
Acheson stubbornly insist that
arms aid is vital to collective
security and that Americas pres
tige, even her good faith, Is in
volved.
The arms aid bill does not stem
from the Atlantic pact. 1t was
in the works prior to the pact and
was withheld because the pact
was considered more important.
Senator Vandenberg believes that
the mutual aid contemplated In
the pact makes the original arms
program obsolete, hence his pro-
posals for stop-gap aid. -
There is no retreat to isolation
in the Senate though there is a
hard Republican core Of opposi-
ton to the Truman policy which
includes the minority leader, Sen
ator Wherry. and now Senator
Taft. This could mean trouble in
so narrowly divided chamber
and the President must do some
of the cultivating If bipartisan
ship is to pick up and flourish
again like the green bay tree.

f1cations, that would be met by the
appointment of Mr.. O'Mahoney
Friends and admirers Of Senator
Howard McGrath Of Rhode Island
are doing the same for their hero
Actually. of course. there is not
much the President can be told
about either of these men that
he doesn't already know. He has
worked with both of them in
Washington and campaigned with
both of them in the field. He
knows their minds and their
hearts and it is no secret that he
considers them his kind Of folks.
This explains. in part, why their
names have been the two most
prominently mentioned.
So far as the said friends and
admirers are concerned. the Presi-
dents situation is not too difficult.
A surprising number of these
voluntary advisers have suggested
that, if it is not to be Senator
OMahoney, it should be Senator
McGrath. And vice versa. Both
men have many of the same
friends, with the same concept of
what the times call for in a
Supreme Court justice.
They believe the call is for a
jurist imbued with the philosophy
of the Presidents Fair Deal pro-
gram, one in tune with the spirit
of the times as registered by the
American people in every election
since 1882. They cannot, in fact,
conceive of the President ap-
pointing a man of a different
type. Many of the national poll
cies which the President has ad-
vanced and Stubbornly supported
look to the future. The future
will find some of these policies
at the mercy of the nine men who
compose the Supreme Court.

carrier Clemenceau. plans for
which have been on the drawing
boards for a long time.
There is bit of a mystery about
the decision to go ahead with
these two ships. inasmuch as 1t
means that France will not. after
all, get some ships from the Amer
lean reserve f1eet-the so-called
mothball f1eet-and will spend her
own money. perhaps some OF 1t
Marshall Plan proceeds. for the
two great new warships.
Assurances Given France.
Months ago when the question
Of these two ships was raised as
surances were given the French
that they need not make the ire
mendous outlay of money involved
in the building of two gigantic
war vessels. The United States
Navy, it was pointed out, had Is
or more large aircraft carriers,
mostly of the 27,0O0-ton Essex
class, put away in the mothball
fleet, and nearly as many battle
ships, many of them first-line
ships of the largest type built
during the war.
1t was suggested that the
American Navy would provide the
French with a first-class carrier
as well as a large battleship. If
they felt they needed some addi-
ton to their fleet. which was
depleted In the war. The Navy
offered no objection to the
scheme. AS a matter of fact. it
encouraged 1t. in the belief that
assignment of the ships to the
French would add to the Western
Allies strength Immediately and

DEAR BILL:

Dear Bill:
Hi fellows. Sorry few of you
| missed our regular meeting Mon
day evening 1t was the largest at

pot drawing was won by Bro. c..
L. Weber.

sion. The men Elks didn't do so
well, losing three and winning
one from the Bobby Soxers.
Bro Phil Lydick was down from
Anchorage this week pinch hit

Old-F Fashioned, Wide Open Fourth
OF July Now Remains Only A Memory

Old-fashioned, thunderous celebra-
tions of the Fourth of July, in
augurated by cannon fire at day
break, annd marked by steady
staccato of noise throughout the
day, remain only memory as Bluff-
ton readies itself for its ninth hol-
day observance without fireworks.
Celebrations here since state
ban was placed on fireworks are in
direct contrast to those III which
our fathers made the holiday par
adise of bedlam.
Cannons roared a salue at the
crack of dawn in those days; fire
crackers and small torpedo bombs
popped all day long, and in the
evening it was customary to have a
gigantic fireworks display.
FIREWORKS FILLED WINDOW.
For weeks preceding the holiday,
show windows were piled high with
fire crackers, sky rockets, roman
candles, torpedoes, pin wheels and
sparklers, and kiddies husbanded
their pennies to assure goodly
supply for the holiday.
In some parts of the business sec
tion on the Fourth the youngsters
would concentrate their explosive de-
vices to the extent that it was
hardly safe for pedestrian to walk
