since democracies must function
in the open. they could not. even

dable problems and perhaps the
richest opportunities. Here are
some Of the far-flung cattle sta
tions which look so vast to Euro
pean eyes. I motored all morning
over one that was 1900 square
miles in extent. We failed to find
the owner and he failed to find
us. That is no unusual occur
renee, and. despite our experienced
guide, we we're ourselves for a
few minutes pushed - which
merely meant that we took a
wrong turning where there are no
turnings!
Yet by no means is all this terri
tory desolate. We were for
tunate enough to see the area
around Alice Springs soon after
a rain. The rolling country. trees
and shrubs and flights of parrots
were beautiful to look upon and
the transient green freshness OF
the pasture bore no resemblance
to the popular conception Of the
dead heart of Australia.
Existence Is Rugged.
But, In reality. life in much OF
this Northern Territory is pretty
tough and solitary. Nothing has
done more to alleviate the danger
and loneliness in "outback" than
the flying doctor service. This has
been an inestimable boon.
The scheme was visualized more
than 80 years ago by Pastor John
Flynn, who was less appalled, by
the difficulties of giving spiritual
comfort to his scattered flock than
by the possibility that neglected
illness or an accident might almost
extinguish it. A man kicked by a
horse, a woman with fever, or a
boy with meningitis had to travel
for perhaps 500 miles slung be-
tween two horses to the place
where he or she could wait for q
train-due, maybe, q week later.
No wonder Pastor Flynn OBJ
served that for those in "outback." ."
1t was q matter of "the airplane
or the grave" Now any one Of the
"outback" stations can call up the
medical base on q pedal radio and
consult the flying doctor, who will
prescribe treatment or. II neces-
sary. will fly in to bring back a
sick or injured person to hospital.
There are now seven flying doc
tors, There's even one flying den
tist. In time there may he flying
school teachers, who will supple
ment the only education these
isolated children now know
which is by correspondence course.
Some attractive inducements
have wisely, been put before the,
Australian who may be tempted
to try his chance In the Northern
Territory. Here. q primary pro-
ducer pays no income tax and.
with luck. he can make quite q
fortune for himself. But he de-
serves it.
Future Called Bright.
I have come across men who
know the Northern Territory and
who are convinced of the sub
stantial contribution 1t can one
day make to the worlds supply
of meat-and of the decisive part
that it can play In Australia's fu-
ture. /,
share their views. But all this
lis long-term stuff. Some Of this
territory cannot today carry more
than five cattle to the square mile.

The immediate question DR. Jes-

clarity in his talk with Mr.. Malik
today Is whether the Russian posi-
ton really Is that stated by the

Some responsible authorities

Double Check Sought.
II has been made clear In pre-
vious Jessup- Malik talks that the
Western Powers will not agree 70
any slowing down OF their plans
in West Germany as condition
/, for lifting the blockade. Now.
the West wants TO double check
to make sure there are no strings
about this or other issues In the
minds of the Russians TO snarl
what appears to be an acceptable
proposal.
Secrecy about the Jessup- Malik
talks were broken yesterday by
Tass. The Soviet news agency
announced that Mr.. Malik had
told Mr.. Jessup on March 81
that II Q date for . meeting Of
the Big Four Council of For
eign Ministers on Germany could
be agreed upon. the Berlin block
ade could be lifted in advance
OF the meeting. This would in
volve reciprocal lifting Of restric-
tions on movements Of goods from
Western Germany to the Soviet

questioned closely by committee
members. Senator vandenberg OF
Michigan, leading Republican
spokesman on foreign policy
brought out that this treaty is SC
completely tied in with the aims
of the q. N. charter that the
treaty would never have to be re-
sorted to If the members Of the
U. N. "are faithful to their obliga-
tions."
Agrees With vandenberg.
Mr.. Acheson agreed with Sena-
tor Vandenberg that any defensive
action taken under the treaty
would cease the moment the Sc
curity Council of U. N. took the
action contemplated by the char
ter to maintain peace and security
In the world.
Earlier. in his prepared state
|ment, Mr.. Acheson had emphasized
that the ineffectiveness of U. N
has been due to the fact that "s
powerful group. even though q
minority. has not genuinely ac-
|cepted the purposes and principle
lot the organization and has used
its institutions and procedure tc
frustrate them"
When Chairman Connally
sought to bring out that the treaty
is not aimed at any country. but
solely at armed aggression, Secre-
tary Acheson replied:
|, ANY nation that claims the
treaty Is aimed at 1t should be
reminded Of the Biblical admoni.

Demands to See Handbag.
Mr.. Palmer demanded to see the
handbag In which the Government
contends secret papers which Miss
Coplon intended to transmit to the
Soviet were found.
Chief Prosecutor John M. Kelley,
jr., told Judge Albert Reeves the
handbag was not in court but he
would send for 1t II the court
desired. Judge Reeves suggested
that it be brought into court.
Mr.. Palmer and the Justice De-
partment prosecutor engaged In q
loud argument when the defense
attorney demanded that the Gov
eminent produce in open court the
secret documents allegedly found
In Miss Coplon's purse.
Mr.. Kelley contended the de-
tense had not proved ownership
Of the documents and therefore
the Government did not intend to
surrender them.
You can't go into my pockets
and take my money away and
then make me prove it's my
money" Mr.. Palmer shouted.
Right to Documents Challenged.
Judge Reeves said he saw no
reason why the Government
should withhold the documents
and Mr.. Kelley asked for a con-
ference at the bench. - ''' i'

Justice Department had indicated
it did not intend to introduce all

Through his motion TO sup
press evidence taken from Miss
Coplon's purse. Mr.. Palmer Is
forcing the Government TO reveal
prematurely virtually Al the evi-
dence 1t planned to unfold at the
trial.
On another occasion when Mr..
Kelly spoke sharply TO the short.
stocly defense counsel, Mr.. Pal
mer told him TO be more con-

Among the contenders of the

MORE SOCIAL SECURITY

AFL President William Green has sent to Pres
ident Truman, to Secretary Of Labor Tobin, to
Federal Security Administrator Ewing, and to
the appropriate Congressional committees a four
point program calling for extensive revision of
the Social Security System.
This program, drafted by the AFL Social Sc
ton to meet the following four major detectives:
/. Extension and liberalization Of the existing
Federal old-age and survivors insurance program
by extending coverage to some $4,000, 600 mere
persons and doubling the average benefits.
vide benefits when an injured individual is out
Of work due to sickness or disability.
3. Extension, simplification and liberalization
of the existing unemployment insurance and en-
ployment service programs. The committee
points out that this can be accomplished only
through the development OF a national system
replacing the present widely differing state sys-
TENS. This means an all-American program
not a states rights crippled program.
4. The development OF a comprehensive
health program including health insurance for
Us, 600, 900 persons with free choice of doctor,
decentralized administration by utilizing state
and local agencies and full use of existing vol
untary plans providing medical services.

IT'S A JOKE,

We're talking about unemployment insurance.
It's a big joke on the working man.
Every pay day your boss pays a tax into a fund
to provide you insurance against unemployment.
Idea is that the various states collect these taxes,
rut them in the kitty. Then if the boss has to
lay you off, you get weekly benefits to buy a
few beans until you can find another job.
But the catch is that these weekly payments
are so low that you can't buy many beans-and
certainly no sowbelly to spice up the beans.
Most of the state unemployment insurance laws
were written back in the depression. The $40
or $40 a week they provide might have bought
a lot Of beans then. But beans have gone up.
And meantime. there hasn't been a lot of I'M
employment. So the various states have col
lected vast SURPRISES of insurance money.
Now some of the employers are attempting
TO have the tax cut on the theory that the states
have more money piled up than they need for
unemployment payments
1t seems to us that it would be better to leave
Tie taxes alone and increase the size of payments
increase them to something in line with cur
rent living costs. A maximum weekly payment
Of, say $45 a week wouldn't be out of reason
with The prices Of rent and beans what they are
today.
After all, unemployment benefits are by no
means charity. They're something earned and
paid for by the worker and his employer.

ing up the necessary votes to hamstrlng any Ad-
ministration attempt to get low-cost housing un-
der way.
The new dodge would now appear to be this:
Forget low cost housing, get things going tor
the so-called higher class of wage Garner.
OF course. that higher income class is brack-
eted somewhere around the So, 600 to $500 per
annum person a bracket unheard of amongst
the organized labor class.
If the administration s housing bill ever comes
out of committee. it should smack the so called
middle class bracket to smithereens. Two
liberal Southern senators, S%parkman and May
bank. have in mind a bill which will enable those
persons in the 50, 900 to 50. 900 wage bracket
to start building within their means. 1t may
mean out and out government loans tor this
group. but if that's the only answer. let's have
it right now.
If they keep kicking the housing bill around
like the we'll known gong, most OF today $ young
err folks will have a one way ticket to the Home
for the Aged before they get their own house
built.
