squelch this electrical display on
the ground that it wasn't dignified
for it to be blinking its commercial

lonq Memory

While President Truman may
have nothing else in common with
the symbolic COP elephant. he
shares the pachyderm's fame for
long memory.
This was indicated by a recent
story in Washington that the Presi-
dent appeared about to shake up
the membership Of the Fine Arts
commission which opposed the
controversial balcony Mr.. Truman
installed in the White House.
THAT BALCONY, as almost
everyone will recall, was a bonan-
"a for gag men and cartoonists.
and. apparently. Mr.. Truman didn't
appreciate whatever humor might
have been contained in the situa-
ton.
According to the Washington re-
ports, Commission Chairman Gil
more D. Clarks, who vigorously OPP
posed the balcony project. has re-
ceived no word from the White
House since his term expired last
March. Terms are about to expire
for three other commission men,
bers and they, too, have received
no communique from the White
House about being reappointed.
During the winter of 194748 the
dispute over the proposed balcony
ragged furiously after President
Truman announced he wanted a
second-floor porch built onto the
White House. The Fine Arts COM
mission formally voted disapproval
and various architectural groups
and citizens joined in.
THAT DIDN'T deter the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Truman had the balcony
built despite the criticism. The tur-
MOL subsidized quickly and many
thought that was the end Of the
affair.

man, like an elephant. apparently.

SPENDING:
Slash Rejected

The United States senate stood
firm in support of President Tru-
mans estimate Of the financial
needs Of the nation for the next
fiscal year.
A move to force the President to
slash federal spending to a level
5 to 10 per cent below his advance
estimates was defeated. But the
margin was only three votes.
The economy amendment, had it
carried, would have required the
President to hold spending for the
current fiscal year some two billion
to four billion dollars below the
estimates he made last January.
FOES Of the proposed economy
asserted it amounted to passing
the economy buck to the President.
Supporters Of the amendment an
swered that the President was in
better position than anyone else to
determine where to cut.
After the decision on this issue,
the senate passed by a voice vote
a 14.8O billion dollar appropriation
bill to pay for national defense
the cost of the army, navy and air
force. This was 500 million less,
however, than President Truman
had asked.
IN OPPOSING the economy
rider, Sen. Scott Lucas. majority
floor leader, said the amendment
was a political gesture" an at
tempt to tell the President to do
what congress lacked the courage
to do. He asked if economy sup
porters would "impeach him" if
MIR. Truman failed to save as much
as ordered.
On the contrary, commended Sem
ator Mcclellan of Arkansas, cit is
sound legislation necessary in the
public welfare, and failure to bal
ance the budget or hold the deficit
to the minimum this amendment
makes possible may well prove to
be a stupid and dangerous blunder."

How Long?

How long would Yugoslavia's
/ Marshal Tito manage to hold out
against Moscow? On-the-scene OBJ
servers didn't give him long. They
predicted that Tito would be liqui-
dated by assassination or that Rus
STA would abandon diplomatic ma
neuvering and move into Yugo-
slavia by force Of arms.
THIS LATTER superstition was
strengthened by the reported ar
rival of three Soviet mechanical
divisions in southern Hungary. The
general view in Belgrade was that
the Soviet government had so in
volved its prestige in the 14-month
campaign to destroy the present
Yugoslav government that Mos
cow couldn't let Tito get away with
anything further.
The presence of the new Soviet
forces in Hungary "a held indie
alive of the gravity Of the new
crisis between Belgrade and Mos
COW.
It was pointed out. however. that
conditions which made Soviet OPP
erations successful In the Baltic
states and in Poland do not exist
in Yugoslavia. A direct attack
might create a condition that could
result in another European war.
THE RUSSIANS must realize
that as we'll as anyone else. 1t will
be interesting. therefore. to OBJ
serve Russian strategy in the con-
tinuing onslaught against Tito's
regime. II the Russians resort to
military force. that action should
notify the world that Moscow be-
lieves itself ready for war and is
ready to face the issue.
II tactics of diplomatic attrition
continue, then the embassies Of
the globe could safely hazard the
opinion. and act upon it. that for
all its sabre-rattling. the Kremlin
is not ready to go to war-not just

TELEVISION:
Color Must Wait

For those who want color in
television. there were four more
years of waiting.
That was the expressed convic-
ton Of a televiSion manufacturer,
Benjamin Abrams. He said that
while color television had been
demonstrated successfully, lit still
is in the laboratory stage and it will
be years before it is available for
the general public" He then es-
timated the waiting time as four
years.
Abrams said that at the present
stage of development of color tele-
vision, he did not believe manufac-
turers could turn out adapters for
less than $500 to $500. And he esti-
mated a set built especially for
color would cost $1,000.
He declared present sets would
not become obsolete even with the
advent Of color. But he said wide
spread interest aroused by the FEC
exploration of color television was
causing some prospective custom
ers to postpone buying sets.
Abrams took issue with charges
that manufacturers are deliberate
ly holding back color video. He de-
clared it would be in the manu-
facturers' own interest to bring out
color sets quickly if they could
produce them at prices within
range Of the general public.
Summing up he said: "You can't
push a button and have color tele-
vision appear owe night"

BRITISH LOAN:
True to Form

true 10 rorm
Even before the talks got fully
underway, the trend Of the dis
cussion concerning British-Ameri-
can finance deals was becoming
familiarly clear.
THE PROBLEM was Britain's
current financial crisis. The hope
rested with U. S. procedure as 1t
affects assistance. That. the U. s.
was thoroughly under the spell OF
British need and persuasion was
shown In the statement that this
government is hospitable to a pro-
posal to relax terms Of the British
loan pact.
Under the current preliminary
proposal, the U. S. would grant
Britain permission to discriminate
temporarily a against American
goods. Under the British loan pact,
Britain got 3.75 billion dollars from
the United States in return for a
promise to treat American exports
the same as those from British en-
pire countries and Europe.
Now. the British want that re-
ouirement knocked out. Here's how
the British plan would work:
BRITAIN could, for instance, re-
fuse to license British buyers who
want to buy American goods, but
1t could give "open licenses to
Britishers who. for example. want
ed to import Italian goods. Since
the italian imports could be pur-
chased with sterling. this would
save Britain dollars.
Thus, with the monetary talks
hardly underway, the British are
asking a double burden OF the
American taxpayer-money from
the taxpayer to solve Britain's eco
nomic problem while at the same
time setting up what amounts to a
boycott of American imports which
will further cost the American tax
payer if he happens to be n Of
the businessmen affected by the
ruling.
And, as the pattern seems to be,
officials we're reported favorable
to the British proposal and-symp-
tomatically, too-were planning to
bypass congress in implementing
that approval.
