Little Interest In Money.
It certainly is true-one sees 1t
in small incidents-that Britons
are little interested in making
money. since there is so little TO

and though hotel service is better.
II anything. than In New York,

told me II had offered nylons

back in taxes. But time will tell.

VlSeTb 10 the S0nsAASns Dfsws.
Secretary Of Defense. Mr.. Sullivan
Is said to feel that he no longer
desires to remain in the humili-
ating position Of nominally head
ing the Navy Department and be-
ing ignored In the adoption Of
major measures affecting his
branch of the service.
The question Of the advisability
Of building the super carrier,
which would cost upwards Of
$3.50. .000, 900. is said to enter the
picture, too. President Truman.
Defense Secretary Forrestal and
Congress approved this plan last
year. The keel Of the carrier was
laid about 10 days ago.
Sees Morale Undermined.
Secretary Sullivan thus was con-
.yinced that no basic change Of
policy was being made, although
he knew that there was q strong
feeling in Secretary Johnson's Of
fee against spending large sums
for q naval vessel which the Air
Force described as Of questionable
value.
The Navy secretary believed
that Mr.. johnson would not act
without first either consulting
him or ut least informing him
Of his decision to stop all work
on that carrier.
What concerns Mr.. Sullivan
particularly is the fact that the
morale of naval personnel may
become seriously undermined by
such actions. Navy people. from

For G. O. O.P.'s Publicity Problem

q mistake. The part played by
the Republican Senators In the
filibuster over civil rights GER
tainly has not escaped the at
tention Of the voters most directly
affected.
And, thanks to the straight news
reports Of the proceedings of this
Congress, average readers GER
tainly have fairly clear picture
Of the confusion and civil strife
now rending the Republican Party.
y 1t has been commonplace in the
pas, to contrast the views Of party
members in the Senate like Messrs.
Morse. Aiken and Tobey with those
OF members like Messrs. Bridges,
Bricker and Butler. But to prop
erly d understand o&he meaningless
nature of the party label at the
moment it is necessary to observe
Senator Taft and the treatment
accorded him by his Republican
colleagues. He was reelected
chairman Of the party's Policy
Committee after an abortive at
tempt to set him aside on the
ground that he was too conserva-
tive. Yet his leadership is being
repudiated continually for the very
opposite reason.
Right in Principle.
1t was Senator Taft who sought,
but failed. to align the Republican
Senators with the liberal Demo-
Gratis when an opportunity came
to eliminate the falibuster once and
for all. It was Senator Taft who
succeeded in rounding up the Re-
publican votes necessary to enact
the long-range housing bill last
week. It is Senator Taft who is
for a good party record
on Federal aid to education. In
all these matters 1t is Senator Taft
who insists on being right In prin-
ciple and. at the same time, wise
politically.
But Senator Taft remains on
all issues the same honest
conservative he always has been. 1
He belongs neither on the extreme
right nor the extreme left. He is
what IN European politics they
call a centrist. And that is what,
in our own politics, the Republican
Party at its best undertakes to be.
Month In and month out, Sena-
tor Taft labors nightly to make
q party record of the kind that
could possibly bring the party back
into power. II the party managers
were able to see this and were
willing to rally around him. Sena-
tor Taft probably would obtain
for the party the publicity it needs
the kind that money cannot buy.

though 1t is not an election year
At the winter meeting in
Omaha, Neb., good deal of stress
was placed on this same matter
of publicity. The party managers
when they weren't blaming Gov
Dewey for his own defeat, were
blaming the National Committee
for failing to sell the party to
the people. Which was utterly
unfair to the very competent
publicity. division Of the National
Committee.
Sins Of Omission.
What happened to the party at
the polls last fall was not due to
any lack of publicity. It was due
rather to too much publicity. The
party's sins of omission had been
told all too well by the not un-
friendly press in the straight news
reports of the proceedings Of the
80th Congress. And that Is what
may be happening again right now
concerning this 81st Congress.
If it is, all the money the Finance
Committee can furnish the Senate
and House Committees won't
make any difference.
Because of the hullabaloo over
the civil war in the Democratic
party and the consequent failure
thus far to obtain enactment Of
very much of the administration
program. some of the Republican
leaders have assumed that their
own party's performance Is being
overlooked. This may prove to be

Fullest Debate Urged
On Decision 10 Halt
Super Carrier Work
Trumon and Johnson Seer
Takins Risk in Relying
On Air Forces Alone
By David Laurence

President Truman and Secretary
Of Defense johnson have just
made a decision so fateful for the
future safety Of the American
people that only the fullest debate
can insure policies that will help
prevent a disaster to those Amer
lean cities which may someday
become the victims OF atomic
bombing.
It is conceded here, for instance.
that Russia will have the atomic
bomb within a few years-possihly
as early as 1852.
1t Is conceded also that no
adequate defense has been per-
fected and that some Of the bombs
transported by long-range planes
will get through to their targets
in the United States.
Reliance on only one mode Of
attacks 70-group air force-andl
the surprising elimination Of
offense and defense by air from
large naval carriers capable of
carrying the atomic bomb means
that the President and his Sec
'retary Of Defense are willing to
risk the loss Of American cities and
are unwilling to use any and every
means OF striking at enemy bases
from which long-range bombers
can take OF. ~

Side Lights on Sports

Softball fans have a big Sat.
urday night ahead of them. Top.
ping the list is the return of the
King ard His Court, when they
play a Pasco team on the Me.
mortal park field at $3.50. Ed
Feigner, star of the four.man
team put on a whirlwind show
when he appeared against the
Kennewick all-starS short two
weeks ago. And this should be a
duplicate, if not better.
If you haven't seen Feigner
show mis- varied assortment of
pitches you haven't seen softball
pitching at its best. Ed strikes
them out blind folded; by throw
ing the ball behind his back and
even moves back to second base
to throw his strike out pitches.
There will be a double-header
at the Kennewick field with the
Richland Eagles playing both
games. In the first game at 1880
pm. they will play the Benton
county P. U. D. and in the Sec
ond game it will be the Pasco

Frozen Tomato Juice

Scientists still haven't found a
way to freeze fresh tomatoes, but
a food chemist in New York has
successfully pressed tomato juice.
When you try the fresh frozen
Juice, you will find 1t has the
taste of fresh raw tomatoes. Since
most people are used to the flavor
of canned juice, it may be well to
try the frozen juice in small
amounts at first.
To freeze tomato juice, wash
well-ripened tomatoes. Remove
stems and green spots, and cut
the tomatoes in sixths. Simmer
the pieces just five minutes to
soften and start the flow OF juice.
Press through a sieve.
Add one teaspoon OF salt to
each pint of juice. Cool the juice
rapidly. Put in glass jars or
other suitable container and
freeze.
Speed in preparing and freez-
ing is important for high-quality
frozen juice.
If you were home canning to-
mato juice. you would simmer the
tomato pieces before strainlng'
