lasting peace without a gun or a

s. Books and training play well
their part, but each individual must
guard carefully his own heart. -

to perfect will only be built when
our evil motives we are willing TO

II. We can't reserve to ourselves
the right to do wrong and expect

PACT:

Reds Burn
The Kremlin and its satellites
were literally burned up over the
north Atlantic treaty alliance.
To the Russians the pact was
"decebtive instrument of war aimed
against" them.
THE CONTROLLED Russian
press and radio joined in the
clamor, branding the pact as the
work of war-mongers trying to
wreck the United Nations.
The general theme was that the
alliance was the main weapon Of
the aggressive policy Of the ruling
circles of the United States. Brit
ain and France"
The Russian stew was under
standable. BY this diplomatic coup
western powers had managed to
abate somewhat the legend of Soviet
invincibility among the smaller
countries and at the same time to
serve notice on the Russians that
any further violence or aggression
within the pact area would mean
war.
THE TERMS OF the pact do not
actually say that; but they say
something which is the same. That
is that pact nations shall construe
an attack on any member as an
attack upon them all, and even the
dumbest Muscovite could under
stand what that meant.
The treaty. however, was not
without it's critics at home. John
Foster Dulles, slated to be secre-
tary of state had Dewey nabbed
the presidency, was anything but
enthusiastic about the alliance. In
fact, Dulles observations on the
subject were such as to raise the
ire of Dean Acheson, secretary Of
state, who charged that Dulles was
put out because he, Dulles, couldn't
get over Dewey's defeat and how
he might have been secretary Of
state himself but for that.

RENT CURBS:
Outlook Dim

Overriding administration recon-
mendations, the senate voted to let
town and city governments abolish
rent controls in their areas - If the
state governors approve.
THERE WE'RE MANY who would
discern instantly the political i'm
plication inherent in such a move.
In states where governors are per-
mitted under law to succeed them
selves and even in states which
do not permit this - governors are
usually concerned with reelection
or with naming their successors.
Abolition of rent control power
could be used as potent weapon
with which to beat recalcitrant
voters into line.
AS anyone familiar with legisla-
tive processes knows. organiza-
lions are always the most power
full and effective lobbyists. Land
lords have a national organization
which already has been vociferously
vocal at Washington. There has
been no organization of renters and
tenants. not even at the state or
county level. Those who are heard
in law-making assemblies are those
who are organized and who know
how to obtain hearings. And these
organizations usually manage 20 do
rather well for themselves.
IN WHATEVER FORM the bill
finally emerges from the senate, it
must go to a conference committee
in order to iron out differences be-
tween house and senate versions.
States Fighters would herald the
local option features of the control
bill with elation and landlord groups
would find it easier to attempt
legislative pressure in their own
back yards.

DRAFT:
Easing Off

Military draft eigibles could re-
lax - Maj. Gen. John E. Dahl
quist, army personnel chief, said
no more men will be inducted into
the army before July, 1850; and
that's when the present peacetime
draft act expires.
so, 1T SEEMED that the peace
time draft was virtually over, ex-
cept for the possibility Of enact
nent of a new act or extension by
congress of the present law.
However, the national defense es-
tablishment hastened to state that
General Dahlquist was giving only
his opinion that no draft policy
has been laid down, and that no one
knows what the future holds.
1T WAS REGARDED as signifi-
cant that there have been no induc-
tions under the present law since
the end of January because volun-
tary enlistments have filled quotas,
and army officials have said that
budget reductions forced them to
cut their proposed strength.

Always the swallows had come back

And this year there was no devia-

BOGEY MAN,:
SoIons Defiurt

Figuratively thumbing its col
lective nose at the "big man" the
United States senate by vote Of
so to II confirmed the appointment
of DR.. James Boyd as director Of
the federal bureau of mines.
THE BIG MAN. was John L.
Lewis, leader Of the United Mine
Workers Of America, and he
wanted no part Of DR.. Boyd in the
federal mine regulation setup.
The senate action came while
Lewis had the pressure on. Lewis
miners were in the second week Of
a 14-day shutdown ordered by
Lewis who termed the stoppage a
memorial to miners killed and
injured last year.
Chief speculation concerned the
import of the senate action. Did
it mean that government, finally,
was ready to clamp down on the
dictatorial Lewis and abolish his
power as a continuing threat to
American industry?
It could mean that, if Lewis
mine stoppage resulted in a re-
versal of labor sentiment among
some members of congress and a
really "get-tough" labor law were
to be enacted.

MEMORY:
Ours Is Short


To many who had experienced
the horrors of war and who had
met German foemen in battle,
American policy in Germany was
almost maddening. Official ap-
proval of selection Of group of ex-
Nazis to manage the Ruhr-Ger-
.many's greatest war-making poten-
tial-was bringing cries of protest
from all over the nation.
The grasp Of the ex-Hitlerites
was rea aching farther and farther
into Germany's vital affairs and
the optimism of the group that their
desires would be fulfilled was sig
nificant.
Latest manifestation of the trend
was a statement by Hans Thomson,
who was the Nazis' last charge DAFT
faires in Washington. that he and
other veteran Hitler diplomats ex-
pected to resume their careers in
the new Germany"
There was no lack of cockiness
in Thomsen's stand Said he: ''The
new German government cannot
get along without the old Wilhelm.

ness" He is now in the banking
business in Hamburg.
The old pattern was becoming
increasingly clear Smart diplo-

PRESIDENCY:
Sow II Isn't So

Was President Truman emu
lating the ostrich with the old
'ehead in the sand'' technique. or
was he naive enough to believe
what he was saying?
This seemed fair question when
Mr.. Truman, despite multiple set
backs in congress for his legisla-
tive program, declared he and the
congress were cooperating and that
only "troublemakers" talked of bad
feeling between them.
MR.. TRUMAN h a d suffered
three major setbacks in attempting
to have his campaign pledges en-
acted into law. He had been
blocked on rent controls, appoint
ment of Mon c. Walgren as key
figure in the national defense set
up, and civil rights proposals.
But, the President shook OH
these reverses by ignoring them in
q speech to the United States con-
ference of mayors in Washington.
Instead, he told the mayors:
"Of course / differ with the
congress on some points and where
these differences are important l
shall continue to urge the course
think is right.
"BUT, BASICALLY. the congress
and the President are working to-
gether and will continue to work
together for the good of the whole
country. We are going to agree on
q lot more things than we disagree
on"
Many observers took the view
that the Presidents remarks in
dicated adoption of new strategy
In dealing with congressional an
attitude of 'soft words" might be
held more advisable than angry
denunciations of the lawmakers.

PENSIONS:
Who Pays?

It was beginning to appear that
q veterans pension bill in some
form would be enacted by the 8lst
congress. Prodded by Rep. John
Rankin Cd. Miss). Of the house
veterans affairs committee. the
measure under consideration would
give veterans of World Wars and
II automatic pensions Of $50 a
month at age IS. Budget bureau
experts contend this would cost the
nation upwards of 125 billion dol
lars over the next SO years.
WHO WOULD PAY the cost Of
the pensions? American Taxpayers,
Of course, and among these would
be all the veterans who might some
day receive the bonus. AS one
young war veteran put it, 'By the
time l reached IS, I would have
gone broke trying to pay taxes to
grant me pension.
That's the viewpoint of some
veterans. There are many others
who honestly feel they are entitled
to a pension and would readily
accept an ''installment" tax pay
ment period between their present
age and age IS In order to get the
pension.
SOME OPPONENTS Of the pen
sion measure favored restricting
pensions only to veterans Of World
War I, but it was obvious no such
proposal as this would be enacted.
There were too many World War
II veterans who would oppose that
simply on the principle of discrimi-
nation, no matter how they might
feel basically about the pension
proposal.
On the first test of the measure,
It.. was almost lost, but swift par
iamentary maneuvering saved it
from being. returned to committee
