Edwin Johnson Urges
Biparty Commission
On Foreign Policy
BY the Assoeioted Press


Democrat of Colorado, today pro-
posed creation of continuou.
bipartisan advisory commission tt
help President Truman shape tn,
Nations foreign policy.
Such commission should bt
unaffected by national elections
Senator johnson said, 80 that WI
would have a permanent foreign
policy and other nations woulc
know where we stand at all times.
Johnson's proposal came as
Senator Hendrickson, Republican
of New Jersey. announced his sup
port of demand by Senator Taft
Republican of Ohio, for a re-
examination of the American role
in international affairs. 1t came
too, amid indications that much
time of the short Congress session
Starting today will be occupied in
foreign policy debate.
Senator Taft, scheduled to ar
rive here during the day, said he
will renew his re-eXamination de-
mand despite editorial criticism
of his foreign policy views by the
Toledo Blade, which advertised it;
opinion that the Senator does no
necessarily represent the views o1
many who voted for him in Ohio
To Push for REORGANIZATION"
Senator Hendrickson was ont
of the liberal, progressive and in
ternational-minded Senators" tt
whom the Blade addressed al
open letter contending that Sen
ator Taft's election victory il
Ohio did not represent repudia
ton of administration foreign pol
icies.
That's just the opinion of Pau
Block, the publisher" Senate
Taft said in a telephone inter.
view. They didn't give me much
support in the campaign"
Asked if he would renew his
demand for re-eXamination of the
administrations foreign policies
a proposal that prompted Secre-
tary of State Acheson's recent at
tack on re -examiniStS" S"-Senator
Taft replied:
That's putting it mildly"
With the Republican attack on
foreign policies in mind, Senator
johnson told a reporter he be-
lieves realistic two-party co-opera-
tion on international affairs could
be achieved if a commission of
six Democrats and six Repub-
licans were set up to advise the
President.
Plan Would Be Continuous.
"The members of the commits
aon should be chosen by heir
parties and not the President" "
Senator johnson said. "They
ought to represent the thinking
of their parties. It ought to be a
continuous commission, carrying
over elections. so that we would
have permanent foreign policy
and other nations would know
where we stand at all times
Senator Johnson said that such
q commission could be given the
kind of secret background in
formation about international af-
fairs that the administration has
sometimes thought it unwise to
make generally available to Con-
greSs.
THE commission could digest
and analyze the multitude of in
eidents that go into the making
Of foreign policy" he said. 1T
then could recommend a course
to the President. Naturally, the
President would retain the final
decision"
Senator Hendrickson said that
while Ohio's election may not have
been settled on foreign policy
issues, he thinks the results all
over the country indicated that
the people generally had lost a
lot of confidence in Mr.. Truman
and had ''lost faith in his policies
Or lack of them" in the Far East

able manpoWer-is sufficient au-
thority for the defense agencies at
the present time. That's why the
commission requires the defense
and other agencies to hire from
regular civil service lists for all
other jobs for which there are
applicants. ..nt
The defense agencies want the
authority to hire persons directly
whenever they want to.
The Army Department several
months ago attempted to defy
the commission and notified it's
commandants to hire civilians di-
rectly without regard to civil serv-
ice job registers. This brought
a heated directive from the COM
mission to end such practices i'm
mediately.
The Army obeyed. but the sig
niflcant thing is that on its own
initiative the Army distributed
throughout the country copies of
the commissions breakdown" or
der. Now, the Army ordinarily
doesn't enjoy being Inundated in
public. That's why top defense Of
flcials surmise that there was a
reason for the distribution of the
commissions letter. It was to
build up a case of strong public
opinion to bolster its contention
that its work has been ham
pered" by commission policy, and
to seek Congress support to re-
verse this policy.
| The commission, however, is
prepared to make a fight against
any changes at this time. For
the present, at least. it feels that
the present emergency hiring pro-
gram is adequate. If the national
emergency grows worse, the com
mission will give the defense agen-
cles more authority. But, short

doesn't intend to do so at this
time.

Mature
Thoughts

| dreamed that a man said to
me-" | have found that which has
been lost to me-"
Again | dreamed, and of seeing
and hearing little boy Icing ques-
toned by his grandmother just af-
ter he had been with his father.
She asked, "Does my breath
stink ?"
He answered, at stinks."
She asked, "a very bad stink 2"
He answered, "a very bad stink"
She thought, ut must come from
deep inside me-"
Turning away, he added with
vigor, "He is to have custody"
And she thought, "There, he will
only be carrying buckets of beer
from the corner saloon"
What happened thereafter did
not appear in the dream. But IT
she trespassed against him and his
father by deceitful testimony re-
garding his fathers fitness to have
custody, and secured charge OF him
herself, the soul of that woman
sins daily until she restores him
to his father in the day of her
forgiveness.
If only the fathers and mothers
deemed fit by the grandmothers
should be allowed to have custody
of their children, it would be sad
state of affairs.

by a man who was the cause of a
lost hope and wasted years
What would you do? | know what
| would do. l would get ahead of
him and shun him like the devil
wearing a new dark cloak lined
with scarlet. And then perhaps my
lost hope would come back to me,
and my children's thoughts con-
corning my having good sense
would be justified. If | did not
keep ahead of him and shun him,
someone very nice might see me
wearing my old dark, scarlet-lined
housecoat and shun me like the
devil.

VETERAN WHITE
HOUSE WORKER
DIES AT 81

Washington, July 24.-(ANP)-
John E. Boardley, a veteran White
House employee, died at the wheel
of his automobile last Tuesday
morning while en- route to the
Executive Mansion where he has
been an employee for the past AZ
years.
The 64-year-old head messenger
was not more than four blocks
from his home when he apparently
was stricken by a heart attack
and collapsed over the wheel of
the automobile he was driving.
His car ran wild for more than
block striking two automobiles be-
fore hitting a building.
His daughter, Ida Mae, age 80,
who was riding in the back seat
of the car, was not hurt. When
news of Boardey's death reached
the White House, President Tru-
man expressed his regret as did
other officials there.

THEATRICAL
DATA
Another Dixie
Spot Lowers Race
Entertainment

MOREHEAD CITY, N. C.-This
friendly Tarheel city sprang into
the amusement headlines last week
when contracts were signed for the
first Negro band in history to play
a one night engagement at the
swank Atlantic Beach Casino on
July 29th. No Negro aggregation
has ever appeared before in the
spot, which had maintained a strict
lily white entertainment policy.
Winner of the coveted first date
at Atlantic Beach Casino is the
Earl Bostic band. Bostic, whose
vacation was to have begun on July
22nd, set back the getaway date
eight days in order to play the pre-
cedent setting date.
Credit for the liberal change in
policy at the swank club goes to
forward looking Sydney Levinson,
who arranged the date for Bostic.
A gradual increase in the. use of
Negro bands is planned but, for the
present, there will not be any great
frequency with which they will ap-
pear.
Bookers, managers and others in
the entertainment world are hailing
this development as an indication
of improved opportunities for race
artists in the heretofore circum-
scribed Dixie areas.

told the following story:
She and Almond were walking
in the 600 block of N. Street

car pulled alongside of them.
One of the men stepped out and
ordered:
Get in the car. We're taking
you to headquarters. We're from
CID" (the Army's Criminal In
vestigation Division).
After the couple had been forced
into the car, Murphy guarded them
in the back seat, while Lowery
drove.
The car crossed the Fourteenth
Street bridge into Virginia. Low

road about ten miles from the
District line.
While Murphy held Almond in
the back seat, Lowery dragged
Mrs. Scott into thu front seat and
attacked her. The men then
changed places.
Lowery drove on after the first
attacks. They stopped a few min
utes later and ordered Almond to
get out of the car. When one of
the men took a punch at him he
broke away and ran.
He telephoned police from a
nearby farmhouse and prowI ears

LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

The older | get, the more | real
ize that man has not yet matured,
because in too many instances, we
refuse to see or hear the other fell
lows point of view on Freedom and
Democracy. To the Negro, Demo-
cracy and Freedom, retains the
literal meaning, but to his white
brothers, there is a combination of
ever-changing viewpoints, that fits
their bias or liberal thinking.
After year and a half of hedg-
ing, hemming and having, the
Eighty-first Congress has finally
killed any chance of passage of
FEPC until 1851 at the earliest.
Frankly, we are not surprised
by this callousness. The House of
Representatives made known the
pattern of thinking in Congress
earlier this year by approving a
meaningless resolution that stated,
in effect, that the House favored
FEPC, period. Nothing more.
This was done despite the sup
port given FEPC by organized la
Dor, church groups, liberal organi-
cations, etc. They cautioned, yes
warned, the Congress that the eyes
of the world were on this nation,
watching closely how we handle at
home, the Freedom and Democracy
we preach abroad.
Now the final blow has come.
Two weeks ago, the Senate refused
to place a time limit on debating
the FEPC bill that would guaran-
tee human beings, regardless of
race, creed Or color, the right to
work, the right of human dignity.
Thus, it would have been useless
to call up the bill for vote simply
because the Dixiecrats would have
tied up the Senate in knots through
an endless filibuster.
This whole display of utter dis
regard for human rights will be
observed in far-off lands that look
to this country for enlightened
leadership and freedom. We deny
that Congress has spoken for the
majority of the people in the
United States. To that legislative
body, the word, Freedom and
Democracy" are still limited to one
small spot in the dictionary, and
has little meaning to that ma
jority with ever-changing view
points.

Things That
Interest Women
HOW DO YOU LOOK?
By BESSIE F. BELL

To dress we'll one must first
know her figure type. Next you
classify your type, by deciding lust
what your figure problem might
be.
For one with large or thick hips.
do not wear tight-fitting skirts;
they emphasize your hips. Wear
lines that draw attention to the
upper part of your body.
If you are short, wear softness
in line and detail. Keep away from
bold prints and manish clothes.
Are you top heavy? Wear lines
that emphasize your sIimness of
hips; this draws all away from
your too heavy top of body.
For the too tall one, never wear
the up-and-down lines, this will
only add to your height. You are
the girl that can wear the bold
dramatic clothes.
Short and dump neck will find
the V-neckline best for you with
only simple finishing. Wear your
hair high on the head.
When your shoulders are mar
row, build them up with pads.
Never wear the dolman.
