CONGRESS: Storms Ahead for the Fair Deal

NHE President, tanned and rest
i ed from a Florida vacation,
was to spend Christmas with his
family in independence, Mo. It
would be his last holiday in a long
time. Looming ahead are crucial
battles over the Fair Deal program,
which comprises such controversial
issues as civil rights, national health
and Taft-Hartley repeal.
The real scrap may not take place
in Congress but on the stump. Mr..
Truman is ready to take a swing
around the country to seek election
Of candidates supporting his platform,
If the lawmakers turn him down.
Short Session
Already some Democratic leaders
hold slight hope Of passing the con-
troversial issues. Next year, they
point out, is an election year and
members. of Congress will be anxious
to quit as soon as possible in order to
get home and campaign.
Sen. James E. Murray (D-Mont)
said he doubts Congress will get
around to passing either a Taft-Hart-
ley repeater or the national health
insurance plan. He informed the
President he thought it would be
wiser to carry both issues to the peo-
pie this fall
The President will deliver his
"State of the Union" message per-
sonally to a joint session Of Congress
IN January or 5.

India
Poor Lille Rich Nan

FooF Little Rich Man
The lavish-spending Gaekwar OF
Baroda is having labor trouble. His
ESQ palace servants have organized a
union and are striking for higher
wages. About 100 have been arrested.
Last spring the Gaekwar was ac-
cused of squandering $1O,O0O,O 900 in
state funds on a six-week spree.
Those charges were dropped when
the Gaekwar bowed to a legislative
demand that he cede his princely
state to the central Indian govern
ment.
The Gaekwar returned from Eu-
rope last week to find his palace in
turmoil. More than 1000 municipal
workers in Baroda, city of more
than 100000, had gone on strike in
support of the Gaekwar's servants.
The city was in darkness for an hour.
The Bombay government, which
now administers the state of Baroda
for India, would. like to intervene but
can't under the law. Terms of last
springs settlement made the princely
Gaekwar private citizen and specif-
ically guaranteed that his household
would not be interfered with by the
government.

Brothers Memorial Trophy for high
public service to aviation.
The award was rendered by the
Aero Club of Washington for Lindy's
pioneering flights, rocket studies, his
prewar report on Europe's military
air strength, his wartime service as a
civilian in combat areas, and his pres
ent service as a consultant. to the Air
Force.
Modern man, said Lindbergh, has
allowed science to insulate him from
the earth to which he was born, thus
throwing his whole existence out of
balance.

accomplishments by their effect on
man himself. To date, the record has
not been entirely good"
Anniversary Of Kitty Hawk
The award was presented on the
46th anniversary of the Wright
Brothers first fight at Kitty Hawk.
N. c.
Since the time of the Wright
Brothers, Lindy said, aviation has de-
elined from an art to a science. He
declared:
Great factories full of workers.
great speeds over the surface of the
earth, great destructive power, such
items are impressive. They are even
essential to our survival in these
chaotic years, but in themselves thew
do not contribute to the quality Of
human life.
I'VE must not let science hypnotize
us into believing that simply by sit
ting in front of desks and drawing
boards and instruments all day. we
are contributing to the character of
man.
Personally, I am convinced that
man cannot thrive indefinitely in the
hothouse atmosphere we are Great
ing"
The pioneer hier said that qualities
needed for permanent survival can
be retrieved only through reorienta-
ton of standards, only by placing the
character Of man above the value of
his products.

Agricultural Engineering

Farm mechanization and more eff
cient grassland farming methods hold
the key to higher yields at lower costs.
agricultural experts agreed last week
at Chicago.
The forum was part of the Grass
land Farming Program held in con-
junction with the winter meeting of
the American Society of Agricultural
Engineers.
D. Howard Doane of st. Louis said
the prospect of further falling prices
demands that livestock be produced
at lower costs.
"The route to these lower costs is
through increased use of PASTURE" he
said. Pasture is our cheapest feed
and feed is the largest single item of
cost. We know that prime beef can
be produced on pasture alone"

Research
Atomic AffereHects

Atomic AftereRects
A three-year project Of the Atomic
Energy Commission has been a
search for some safeguard against the
lethal, lingering radioactive poison
created by atomic explosions.
A new report by the Acc reveals
that the problem now is not as hope
less as it once seemed.
Scientists at the Oak Ridge, Tenn.
laboratories have developed strippable
films which can be used to cover con-
taminated apparatus, if necessary, by
remote control
AT other Acc plants, similar coat
ings have been developed for paint
ing "hot" laboratories. From time to
time the contaminated paints can be
removed, leaving the laboratory walls
fresh and harmless.
Decentralization research really
began after the underwater Bikini
test when an astounding number of
target ships became radioactive after
having been sprayed with salt water
from the submarine bomb blast.
An article by an Army engineer,
appearing in two unofficial magazines,
The AntiGircrGft Journal and The
Military Engineer, describe three
general methods:
Ehe first consists of surface re-
moval. In crudest form they include
paint removal by caustic solutions.
sandblasting and scraping.
The second is by chemical solutions
to dissolve cOntaminants without af-
fecting the character or quality of the
surface.
The third involves the means Of
preventing contamination, including
such devices as interposition of a
water film on the surface which
mechanically impedes the attachment
Of contamination to the surface itself.

Asiatic Solidarity

Mao IS demonstrating the solidarity

development Kremlin strategists can
be counted on not to forget.
Another sore point, from the Rus
sian point of view, was Gen. Mac.
Arthur's actions in Tokyo last week
before the four-power Allied Council

Gen. Macarthur has shown in

prisoners Of war still in Russian
hands.
100000 Repatriated
Operating only in summertime.
with ships furnished by the Amsri-
cans, the Russians repatriated total
of more than 100000 prisoners in
four years. Last November. Moscow
reported that with $4,000 sent home
during the summer all repatriation
was ended, except for 10000 war
criminals.
No one knows the exact number of
prisoners still held. The official Jana
nese and American government fp-
ures place il at about $4,000. but this
total is considered far too high as
many are believed to have died under
extreme privatiop.

Ship Building Program
Meanwhile, the publication James
Fighting Ships disclosed in London
last week that Russia is building
three 35,0OO-ton battleships and
speeding construction on a fleet of
1000 submarines.
The unofficial but authoritative
publication reports that a hitherto
reliable source" advises that two of
the super battleships already may be
in commission. TO date, Russia's only
known battleships are the 1882
ton Giulio Cesare, obtained from Italy
under the peace treaty, and two other
craft: the 23,606-ton Sevastopol and
Revolutsia.
