Capital Chaff

Tie United Nations Commission has reported that the South Kor- cans were just as guilty of war at rocities as the North Koreans-un- til the U. s. Army found out, put its foot down. Republic of Korea President Syngman Rhee is so busy making political capital out of the LIN military victory that he is be- coming nuisance to the Army, is embarrassing the State Depart ment. The new ambassador to England, Walter s. Clifford, to whom President Truman gave the juciest plum in the diplomatic ser vice, contributed to the 1944 and l948 Presidential campaigns-but not to Truman. He was a heavy packer of Tom Dewey.

WhistIe-stop Truman?

Before the President decided to visit General MacArthur, Democrat ic politicians haI been begging him on pended knees to make a fist swinging, whistle-stop tour during the last 10 days of the campaign. MT. Truman, however, has remained lukewarm.
 The inside reason for his coolness is not the official explanation at the Wl2ite House-that the Presi- dent is pressed with urgent prob lens. It is his own fear that he cannot repeat his l948 victory in an off year
 Presidential secretaries Matt Con- nelly and John Steelman threw the most cold water on the speech tour, because: If the boss goes out and does his best and we still lose seats in Congress. he won't be the champ any more. That would hurt in 1852
 Democratic Chairman Bill Boyle and Acting Campaign Director, Sen Clinton Anderson, on the other hand recommend that MT. Tru- man take the last 10 days before the election to stir up excitement and get voters to the polls.

 Latest to carry the ball for the administrations newest excursion into the faryand of socialism is an exsociety editor turned politician. India Gillespie Moffet Edwards is the lady's and she is chair man of the womens division of the Democratic Ma tional Committee.
 To combat the bourgeois propaganda of the Am ercan Medical Association (your doctor and mine) India proposes to organize the nations women in a campaign reminiscent of the chain letter.
 India would have every woman telephone ten friends and urge each to call of her friends de- nouncng the nations doctors for their campaign against socialized medicine.
 Many good women will undoubtedly be swayed bv the ideaistic arguments in favor of socalized medicine. Most will not.

Navy EXnlainS

A mate who sailed on the SS General Sturgis told this column :: Emergencies likely to be encount- cred on ships at sea, such as fires, strandings, founderings, and col- hsions, would not only make life boats necessary but. on this ship, would make them almost useless. "
 A Navy spokesman explained that the Military Sea Transport Service has been so hard pressed for troop ships, since the Korean war began that tt re hasn't been time to i'm prove the ships inherited from the Army. The same spokesman denied however, that a power failure hao prevented the Benevolence's life boats from being lowered. He insis- ted the hospital ship was not equip ped with triple-bank davits which require ships power, but with sim pie gravity davits.
 Yet Capt. Barton Bacon Jr., com mander of the Benevolence, told a Coast Guard inquiry that lack of power had made it impossible to get lifeboats over the side. The frantic crew was able to cut loose only one lifeboat which immediate iy capsized.
 With illegal, Russian-made min- es floating loose in Far Eastern waters the Navy may be faced with a needless tragedy unless it in- stalls modern, safe lifeboat equip ment in these seven unsafe troop. ships.

Railway to Alaska

(Prince Rupert Daily News)
 Talks on the subject of a railway through British Columbia to Alaska are the tapis for Ottawa this week Prince Rupert well be very interested Time was when a subject would command much attention here as discussed and promoted the advantages of coming far west as possible so as Prince Ruperts strategic position as an outlet TOT the great north country could be used to the fullest advantage Of course when it is matter of con- meeting Alaska with the United States through BTU ish Columbia, the Prince Rupert aspect may not be of such prime significance.
 However such railway would be of the utmost importance to the whole central interior country and could not help but rebound to the benefit and de- velopment of this port well as all this area
 So the talks at Ottawa, even though they are ol pretty preliminary character, will be watched With much interest.

 Ernest H. Keene, secretary of the 59 year cd Cadet Company, wrote the Empire saying that Elmer Friend was a prominent and active member of the organization in an carly day. We would love to see him at our 59th anniversary ban ouet. Could you ship him down for the occasion?"
 The Empire did it's best to ship Elmer down for the Occasion. But try to persuade a managing editor to do anything he thinks might interfere with his job. It can't be done.
 MT Friend sent a check to MT.
