Pattern Of Action Known.
Western Germany has Q new
government, but it has no such or
ganized, armed, indoctrinated
forces.
Furthermore, the German Com
munist forces would receive aid
from their Polish and Czech
neighbors, on the pattern Of the
aid furnished the Greek guerrillas
by Bulgaria and Albania-without
direct Russian Intervention. Il
the United States and Great Brit
ain Withdrew they would be in nc
position to aid the militarily un-
organized western government
and this would devolve upon
France, whose Communists would
certainly engage in every possible
sabotage to defeat interference
in Germany.
And 1t is not only possible but
likely that, should such civil wal
break out in Germany, the Rus
slams would use 1t as q diversion
/ for actions taken simultaneously
somewhere else; for instance. ir
the Middle East-as the Berlin
blockade and airlift DETECTED
western attention from China.
How can this be hindered?
Chiefly by publicity, day in and
day out, inside and outside OF
Germany. This must be accom-
panied by political concessions tc
the West German government
the immediate cessation of dis
mantling and the bringing Of the
Adenauer government into the
Council of Europe. But, above all
the Germans must be warned that
the withdrawal of western troops
will lay them open to the horrors
that Greece has suffered.
| The pattern Of Russian action
is repetitive: it has been highly
successful elsewhere. But this
time the western Allies and the
German people should not be
taken unaware.

On the Other Hand
Senator Brewster Has What His Party
Needs Today-a New Idea

Actually that wasn't bad STRAIT
egy and 1t might have worked
If the Democrats had only stood
still. People do get tired Of the
same old faces in public oftice
and decide every so often that 1t
is time for a change. Not only
that, but the voters are notoriously
ungrateful for things done in their
behalf. They always want some
thing more. And that's where the
Democrats have been beating the
Republicans. They have contin-
ued to come forward with some
thing new. They have made Is
sues: Housing. education. civil
rights. health, social security
wages. farm prices, cheap power
rural electrif1cation, farm tele-
phones and so on. They never
seem to run out Of new issues
all Of them calculated to collect
votes.
Problem of New Issues.
So the problem of the Republi-
cans would seem to be not how to
restate the old issues, but how 70
find some new ones.
Which brings us to the idea
propounded by the senior Senator
from Maine. It is time, he says,
to consider the nomination OF
a woman for the presidency or
the vice presidency. He isn't the
first to say this. the junior Senator
from the same State, Margaret
Chase Smith, having declared a
couple Of months ago that she
plans to fight to see that some
qualified woman" is named for
either the first or second place
on the ticket in 1852. But Senator
Brewster is the first man to say
it. And he made the fiat state
ment that he could think of sew
eral women who would be better
qualified for the presidency than
the present incumbent.
Asked If Mrs. Smith was one OF
those, he paid her a high tribute
and declared she could run like
business. There may be
some persons mean enough to
suspect the senior Senator OF
seeking to get the Junior Senator
out of Maine by promoting her
to the vice presidency, but that
won't hold water. Senator
Brewster certainly remembers
how Boss Platt Of New York
wrecked himself politically when
he tried to eliminate Theodore
Roosevelt in that manner.
No, the Senator has got hold
Of a new idea and that's just
what the party needs.

q thinker, but it seems to me that
the Navy must have been around
somewhere when they put the
soldiers on the shore. Months
ahead, the Navy said we'll land
three divisions at 9:15 In the
morning. The Navy landed three
divisions at 9:15.
Speaks as Infantryman.
Let's make this entire column
brusque. Let me address all the
men who never got shot at,
either as infantrymen or as men,
bers of the Navy. I speak now
as a foot soldier. The sailors laid
back in those funny seats behind
their guns and shot for you.
I like them. I'll bet those boys
didn't want to get shot at. But
as long as that battle pennant
was flying from their ship they
figured they'd better fire.
Admirals are stuffy. When shells
are flying through their cabins.
they eat kippers for breakfast.
That's for me. It takes a man
to do that! I never could figure
out whether admirals liked bullets
or kippers better. Let me ask one
thing Of the rest Of the United
States - how many sailors ever
quit?
We now have the Navy in moth
balls. All wrapped up in grease
and politics. and If you want my
personal opinion, I think that
politics are the greasier. This
country is going to rise or fall on
one thing-the men who live In

short. and make them sissies. and
make Socialists out Of them they
might follow along. II you want

icine, free living at home when
they are not doing anything. men
will go that way. This country
was built because men had q
simple belief in themselves. This
country was founded when no one
knew how to write a letter to
Washington.
Fighting Men Sold Short.
For every man who criticizes,
there are two bluejackets sleeping
forever for their country. It gives
me a slow turn in my stomach
when read about elderly Sen
ators and Congressman selling
short q part Of our country made

didn't care to talk about 1t. If
In the years to come we don't need
a Navy, let us pay them just to
be around.

Truman campaign pledges to the

Public power advocates agree that
the President must register his

escape charges of insincerity.

promoted Mr.. Chapman, a Colo
radan identified for 20 years
with development Of Western
land and water resources. The
FPC decision with the name OF the

could have abstained until he
had studied the question. Now

FPC States Position.
FPC states that the President
last August disapproved Interiors
Central Valley plans and that
Interior then withdrew the two
projects at issue from its requests
for congressional authorization.
Interior admits this but says it
was only a postponement, that
they are drawing up new plans
they believe will pass White House
inspection. They feel certain the
President did not intend to veto
Federal development Of Central
Valley then or in the future.
The administration will have a
chance to restate it's public power
views January Is next at a New
England Democratic conference.
Current developments insure a
special drive to induce the Pres
ident personally to speak. The
conference was postponed from
this month due to the death Of its
chairman. Interior last year
launched an attack on high
power rates in New England,
abetted by Governors Dever OF
Massachusetts,, Bowles OF Connec-
ticut and Gibson Of Vermont.

Mr.. Chapman that he must enter

An ample spring sugar beet
labor supply is predicted by
members of the Montana farm
labor committee and farmers
are urged to plant every acre OF
beets possible to reach a no.

Reports from com mittee
members showed an estimated
$500 workers will be needed,
part of this number to be re-
cruited locally. The number
needed is set at: Billings, 2,225;
Chinook, $500; Hardin, 723;
Missoula (including Broadwater
county,, 300; and Sidney, $3.50.
A statement on the general
beet prospect said: ITO protect
the future of the Montana
sugar beet industry it is inn
portant that growers exert
eyery effort to plant as many
beets this spring as their farm
acreage will permit
J. P. Grennan of Helena,
state employment service direc-
tor. advised that any workers
brought into the state must be
obtained early. Pay scales Will
be approximately the same for
spring beet labor as they were
6. year ago.
