S0uers Still on Call
Truman Named Lay to Security Council
On Advice on Retiring Secretary

ness.
For the same reason he de-
clined the proffer Of chairman
Of the National Security Resources
Board. It is just possible that
being a genuinely modest man,
he also had In mind . major rea-
son why the President hunts big
names but is simultaneously pre-
vented from getting them. That
reason is the Senate's recent
treatment Of many major Truman
appointees.
Often Whipsawed.
In the present political climate
where a conservative coalition
rules the legislative branch but
does not govern the executive.
Presidential appointments are
often whipsawed between the two.
The President is tending increas-
ingly to appoint Fair Dealers: the
coalition seems increasingly to
feel that the more roadblocks they
set UP. no matter how they violate
the checks and balances principle,
the better.
In the ensuing Illustrations the
President has q tendency to fall
back on political hacks, as when
he substituted Mon Wallgren for
Leland Olds, who was refused con-
flrmation to the Federal Power
Commission. Naturally the Demo-
cratic National Committee Is al
ways ready to open its files. too.
when Jobs are available-and has.
But that is not really . problem,
President Truman has the COM
mittee well in hand with his
friend, william Boyle. as chair
man.
The Senate's power. to veto ap-
pointments is a great democratic
safeguard and the only real cure
for abuses actually is better Sena-
tors. They would add, Of course,
"and better appointments" Never
theless, they have contributed
heavily to the present stalemate
on many important executive Ap-
pointments and 1t is an unfortu-
nate ono.

Mr.. Baldwin Dorothy 1n'"'''n'
saws ut calls for a new concept
for the extension Of the rule OF
law" The approach suggested
/. to abandon the idea OF a
STRENGTHENED United Nations-in
short, hope for abolishing war
As "brave words and bright
dreams" and admit that there has
always been war, and always Will
be. as far as any one can foresee,
and that the necessity OF conflict
resides in the nature OF man" )"
Therefore, instead Of trying to
abolish war we should try to de-
wise such laws governing its con-
duct, as "at times and in certain
areas Of history have been gen.
orally obeyed."
Unrealistic Theory.
Now, I cannot imagine q more
pessimistic and unrealistic theory.
Although there have been eras-
the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries for instance-when It
was an unwritten rule Of war to
do as little damage as possible to
ones enemy, the wars where the
rule applied were within . far
more unified civilization than
exists today, and were between
professional armies, not whole
peoples.
The Congress Of Vienna that
ended tho, Napoleonic wars, In
which the defeated nation actively
participated, revealed . modera-
ton based on recognition Of basic
community interest which has
been present at no subsequent
peace conferences. The totali-
tartan spirit in war is part Of the
modern temper, and 1t is not
exercised by Hague conventions.
Furthermore, wars have been
destructive in proportion to tech
biological progress In weapons.
Sometimes fear Of reprisal has
withheld them; more often actual
tests Of them as effective weapons
have led to their abandonment.
Poison gas was used In World War
I, but did not determine the out

to anchor a Zeppelin in broom

the decorative motif we are using.
To begin with. the centerpiece is
a cardboard sleigh that runs al
most the length Of the table.
Spreading out from the sleigh,
like tentacles from an octopus, are
red and green ribbons which are
fastened near each plate by a
reindeer. Then running out from
the reindeer all helter-s -skelter are
more ribbons with assorted things
like mistletoe, stars, bells and
icicles hanging from them.

The whole idea is just plain
cute, don't you think?
And thrifty, too.
Because how in the world can
we hope to get a turkey and all
the fixings on the table with all
that junk scattered about?
We figure our whole Christmas
dinner won't cost more than two
dollars. The piece de resistance
will be ham sandwiches, which
our guests will have to eat of
a tray in the living room before
they gather around the beauti-
full, but foodless table.

Oakland got its first glimpse of
the Leary family in 1882, and since
that time many pupils who passed

Leary.

Leary, Miss Elizabeth was born July
81, 1870, and Miss Marion not quite
