The bill was sponsored by SEN
ator Alfred j. Westberg, Repub-
lican, whose 18th Legislative Dis
trict in Seattle includes residents
of many races and creeds. 1t has
passed the House and Senate
with almost no opposition. Gov.
Arthur B. Langlie is expected to
sign 1t.
The measure represents one of
the most controversial steps in
social legislation ever taken in
this state. Many lawmakers who
voted for 1t questioned privately
whether 1t will reduce or increase
racial friction. But they voted for
1t because civil rights legislation
is fashionable these days. To have
voted against 1t would have been
"reactionary."
The bill establishes the Wash

by the governor. The board could
conduct hearings and could issue
subjoneas for witnesses and rec

BOMBERS:
Gives Reds Pause

The declaration came from a
man whose qualifications entitle
him to the rating of expert-Gen.
Henry H. Arnold, wartime chief of
us. air forces. The statement,
made in a book, "Global Missions"
was that it isn't armies or navies
that Russia fears, but only far
reaching bomber strength.
Lets put it this way" the gen.
eral wrote. Russia has no fear
of an army, she thinks hers is just
as good and bigger than any other
in the world; she has no fear of a
navy since she can't see how it
could be employed against her;
but she does fear our long-range
strategic air force which she can
not as yet match, or as yet under
stand. In the strategic air force,
coupled with our atomic bomb, at
this writing we hold the balance
of power in the world"
"But," he warned, "by tomorrow
the picture may change"
Arnold minced no words in the
dim view he takes of the Russians.
"The Russians" he says, would
have none of the American propo-
sal that the American air force be
allowed to build BIO bases in
Siberia to attack Japan" Similarly.
he recalled that agreement for
bases in Russian territory to be
used for shuttle-bombing of Ger
many, was ended after a short
time by Moscow.
The air force, in the current
squabble over armed-service pres
tige as a result of the unification
bill, could take much solace and
encouragement from: General Ar
nold's statements.

WALKOUTS:
Cors. Cool. Steel

American industry, fighting to re-
gain pre-war stability, was facing
parlous times. John L. Lewis coal
miners had left the pits. The United
Automobile Workers union had
handed the Ford Motor company
what amounted to strike notice,
and now the steel industry was
next.
WITH these basic US. industries
all down, production suspended,
millions of workers out of jobs, the
national industrial and economic
picture appeared dim indeed.
President Truman was coming in
for some blame in the steel indus
try dispute, with critics charging
he had "fumbled the ball" in eff
forts to prevent a strike.
Four days before the deadline
for start of the strike, federal con-
ciliator Cyrus Ching had reported
no progress in negotiations. Neither
side would bulge on the key point
in negotiations.
The union contended that since
it had agreed to forego its demands
for pay raise, the steelmakers
should accept the presidential fact
finding boards recommendations
for a company-financed welfare
fund. While this seemed to satisfy
steelworkers, it didn't please the
JAW.
ON the other hand, the steel in
dustry was buying newspaper space
to claim that it was agreed at the
outset that the presidential boards
findings would not be binding on
either party, and that if a strike re-
suited, the union would have to
assume the responsibility.
Steel leaders took the position,
too, that the workers should con-
tribute to the pension-insurance
plan costing 10 cents an hour for
each man.

U.N. TOP MAN.:
Soviets Object

Over Soviet protest, Brig. Gen.
Carlos P. Romulu, anti-Communist
campaigner from the Philippine
islands, was elected president of the
fourth United Nations general as
sembly. Only the five nations of the
Soviet bloc opposed his election.
IGNORING the Soviet attitude,
Romulu's first act was an appeal
that the delegates make this gather
ing real peace assembly,"
According to newsmen, Yugo-
slavia apparently voted against the
Soviet bloc for the first time, in the
secret ballot for president, but de-
clined to admit it publicly.
The new president, acknowledge
ing that many obstacles to peace
still exist, said the danger of a
new war had abated and that the
delegates must press this advan-
tage.
HE CALLED upon them to move.
forward boldly in the spirit of in
ternational cooperation called for
by the Mexican resolution approved
unanimously in Paris last year.
Romulu's choice as chief of the
assembly was seen as indicating
friction in debate on issues as the
Soviet bloc could be expected to
fight the anti-Communist leader at
every turn where opposition could
be maintained. Top Russian dele
gate Vishinsky had also spoken out
for harmony, but on the basis of
past performance by the Russians,
his attitude was open to doubt.

ARMS BILL:
MeddIinq Feared

The 1888 billion dollars arms-aid-
bill had stalwart supporter in
Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (R., Mich
who termed it a bargain-price peace
insurance policy against Communist
aggression.
He said he feared that any "med-
ding" with the bill might impair
its force and effect.
Vandenberg,. chief Republican
policy, declared that the arms-aid
program might be regarded either
as life insurance or fire insurance
and said that in any case it is
bargain policy as far as peace is
concerned.
Referring to the North Atlantic de-
tense pact, he said that pact includ-
ed pledge to maintain forces that
can resist armed attack. Too, he
pointed out, European allies have
weaknesses that the arms bill would
help overcome.
Vandenberg declared that it would
be in honorable keeping" with us.
treaty obligations to adopt the arms
bill. 81 think it is definitely and
specifically in the interests of our
own national Defense" he went on.
81 think it is encouragement to
war -. think it is prime and vital
peace insurance."
He argued that the plan to send
American tanks, guns and planes
to Europe falls squarely within the
commitments of the North Atlantic
pact which the senate ratified by a
vote of 80 to 10.
He denied sending arms abroad
would mean the start of an arms
race between the East and West.
Vandenberg's active support for
the measure was expected to help it
materially in winning final adoption
in the senate, since many dissident
Republicans would probably go
along on the basis Of Vandenberg's
admitted stature in the field Of for
eign policy and because of his pres
tige in the senate.
