Planned
By Federation

Hospitality centers in key cities
of the United States for the well
come of foreign visitors is one of
the newest projects of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
The plan was indorsed with
enthusiasm yesterday when it was
announced at luncheon for fed
Grafton board members holding
their annual fall meeting at the
Mayf1ower Hotel.
Although the proposal originally
called for such centers in Ameri-
can port cities, a -Westerner
asked. why leave us inlanders
out?" Other "inlanders" promptly
joined in the question and the
program was expanded on the
spot.
The original plan was outlined
by Mrs. John L. Whitehurst, for
mer federation president who is
now chairman of it's Council of
International Clubs. Mrs. White
hurst proposed the appointment of
international hostesses to welcome
visiting club women and State De-
partment grant students from for
eign countries.
Mrs. Hiram Cole Houghton, fed
Grafton president, who recon-
mended the project, suggested
that its administration be assumed
by the various State presidents.
Mrs. Whitehurst also called on
the board members to get behind
the federation's letter. writing
project to foreign clubs. when
the women back home ask you
What can we do in this interna-
tional crisis?' tell them this is a
practical project" she declared.
"If this thing were working effec-
lively, we would have peace, be-
cause women all over the world,
deep in their hearts. want it."
Two foreign guests from the
Western Zone of Germany, were
introduced by Mrs. Edward c..
Magdeburger, international host
ess" for the District.
For the five or six months I've
been in your country" said DR..
Hildegarde Wolle-Egenolf. law
yer from Weisbaden, "I've found
that you women have not so many
differences that we couldn't work
together and really be friends"
The other guest was Miss Han
nelore Eisenhuth, a labor union
leader from Michelstaet, Hesse,
who is here to study protective
legislation and working conditions
for women.
The board members were the
guests of Mrs. Truman at a tea
at Blair House yesterday after
noon. and last night held their

On the Other Hand
In Field of Preposterous Politics
Oklahoma Now Yields to New York

Nobody ever has questioned his
honesty.
This is the stuff Of which SYM
pathy is made. Gov. Dewey is now
recounting it with tears in his
voice. "Joe Hanley is my friend
and I love him." he tells his radio
listeners.
It looks like a prestidigitator's
trick. The idea is to fasten atten-
ton on Mr.. Hanley and his for
givable frailties and to draw at
tention away from the Governors
place in the picture. Maybe it
will work. The hand is sometimes
quicker than the eye.
Meantime New York is enjoy
ing an orgy of emotionalism. in
volving all sorts of feelings-vo-
ciferous glee on the part of the
Democrats, angry disgust on the
part Of Republican politicians and
plain citizens and pity for the
plight of poor Joe. This should
assure a big vote two weeks from
Tuesday.

Formosa and its future status.
This was a natural question to
be asked of the President. Gen.
Macarthur had irritated Mr.. Tru-
man when he attempted to ex-
press his military views about that
island in a message to the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars-a message
the general was ordered by his
commander in chief to withdraw.
Vague Communique.
The official communique issued
at the end of the Wake Island
conference was vague and unin-
formative. Responsible" sources
in Washington inspired" a news
story that Gen. Macarthur had
been won to the Presidents side
whatever that may mean-on
the question of Formosa.
Equally authoritative" sources
in Tokyo Indicated the contrary
The only way to ascertain the
truth was to ask the one and
only source which had the right
to throw light on this subject
without equivocation-the Pres
ident himself. But to the as
tonishment of those present at
the press conference, Mr.. Truman
went into a tailspin when the
question was propounded. -
After stating that there could
be no disagreement between him
and his subordinate, the supreme
commander in the Pacific, he
added somewhat gratuitously, that
Gen. Macarthur was loyal to his
Government - an undiSputed
truth-and loyal to the President's
foreign policies. He wished that a

ALI Due to Letter.
In any case, the Sooner State
has had to yield to the great State
of New York in the matter of pre-
posterous politics. There the Re-
publicans are now urging the elec-
ton Of their senatorial candidate
on the ground that in the words of
the old song, he is more to be
pitied than censured.
This has come about because of
one of those letters that candi-
dates should never write. 1t. Gov.
Joe Hanley had aspired to the
governorship. but at the last mo-
ment yielded to Gov. Dewey's de-
cision to run again and accepted
the nomination for Senator in
stead. To square himself with
certain anti-Dewey Republicans
who had helped finance his first
ambition, he wrote a letter saying
he was Inundated, heartsick and
disappointed" but that he could
do nothing else. Today" he said,
II had a conference with the Gov
ernor in which certain unalterable
and unquestionably definite prop
ositions were made to me. If I will
consent to take the nomination to
the United States Senate I am de-
f1nitely assured of being able to
clean up my financial obligations
