This Changing World
New Russian Diversionary Moves
Expected by Diplomatic Observers

tions Of the Western peoples were
focused on Berlin. Whenever II
appeared that public attention ir
America and Western Europe was
relaxing, as the airlift became
routine. inflammatory incidents
such as collisions between airlift
planes and Soviet f1ghters-were
concocted by the Russian authori-
ties. This revived Western inter
est and rumbles of an immediate
war between East and West began
to spread in the West.
But all this time the real Soviet
action was taking place on the
Chinese mainland. With America
chiefly interested in the airlift, lit
tie thought could be given tc
China.
Reds Gained Objectives.
The Nationalist armies gradu.
ally lost heart, while the Chinese
Communist forces gained strength
Finally the Russians gave ur
their spectacular plan of decep-
ton in Berlin and lifted the block
ade. BY this time. however. they
had achieved their objectives.
The Soviet puppets in China de-
! feated the Nationalists. Moscow
helped itself to three juicy slices
Mongolia. Sinkiang and Man
churia, while the rest of that vast
country was placed under the
leadership Of Moscow's Charlie
McCarthy-Mao Tze-tung.
BY the time we awoke to what
had happened to us in the Far
East it was too late. We were
faced with an accomplished fact
in China, alteration of which
we are neither willing, prepared
nor capable.
We discovered belatedly-de-
spite statements to the contrary
by those who muffed the ball
that our strategic position in the
Pacific and Indian Oceans had
been dangerously weakened. The
arguments advanced by the ad-
ministration supporters. both In
and out of Congress, and the un-
precedented official attacks on
Chang Kai-shek, chief Of state OF
one Of our allies, are clear indica-
ton that American officials feel
our policy may have missed fire.
While we were looking across
the Atlantic the Soviets stole
China. Now we are looking
across the Pacific, wondering what
happened. 1t is probable that this
interest on the part of politicians
and the people in general will con-
tinue for some time.
Meanwhile. the Russians are
suspected, and not without we'll
founded reason. of preparing to
resume their diversionary tactics
somewhere in Europe or the Near
East.

Matter of Timing
Democrats Need Every Possible Vote
To Stave Off Dixiecrats in House

rules. It worked - last year.
Whether the detour can be sus-
tanned is this years problem and
a bigger one.
Last January the President
was at the peak of his influence.
That always slips in off-years and
there are signs, too, that the anti
spending campaign is taking hold.
The rules change won last year,
275-143. following a caucus in
which Democrats were bound" to
1t. Leaders claim now that the
caucus still is binding but the
safely seated Southerners dispute
it.
Chastened by the Truman vic
tory, 80 Southerners voted for the
change. So did 40 Republicans,
chiefly from city districts where
the Fair Deal is popular.
Must Hold Republicans.
Unless they can hold most Of
those Republicans, the Fair Deal
ers stand an excellent chance of
returning to the papa knows
best" control of the Republican,
Southern rules coalition. The
coalition is frankly promising to
pigeon-hole spending programs
which has a big appeal to Repub-
licans.
But the Republicans are not
altogether happy. The coalitions
price is death also to civil rights
and the party of Abraham Lincoln
has been caught little too fire.
quently playing footie with the
Southerners on that issue for the
best possible public relations. 1t
was clear from the wrangling on
the House floor that most of them
do not relish being trapped pub
licly once more.
Republicans will strive to ex-
tricate at least one civil rights bill.
It is not impossible that Demo-
Gratis Cox, Smith, Colmer and
company will yield in order to ges
a free hand with the axe on the
rest of the Fair Deal. They can
figure that the Southern Senators
will filibuster, aided by the stiff
ened cloture rule passed by a
GOP-Southern Senate coalition
last year. :.

four Northern areas Of China. "
The United States must not now
do anything which might divert
Chinese attention from Russia,
he continued, for the division Of
China must bring upon the Rus
slams the hatred and righteous
anger of the Chinese people"
Planned 1t That Way?
So we planned 1t that way?
The reason for the secret treaty
at Yalta, giving Russia special
privileges in Manchuria. was just
to encourage Russia to overreach
herself? The reason for forcing
the truce upon Chang Kai-shek
in November, 1945, and allowing
tens of thousands of Communist
troops to escape; and for insisting
in 1946 that the Kalgan Pass
be opened to permit million
Communists to move into Man
churia and be armed by the Rus
slams with the entire equipment
Of the Japanese Kwantung army,
was to be sure that by Russian
encroachment in China, the Chi
nese people would recognize their
real enemy?
Do we, perhaps, have a secret
agent in the Russian Politburo
who directed the Soviet Union
to annex the four Northern prov
inces Of China. since this is going
to- make the Chinese people"
awfully sore?
We don't like the Nationalist
government (runs the argument) /,
so 1t is well for the Communists
to defeat 1t. But communism
being synonymous with Russian
Imperialism is hostile to the real
interest Of the people Of China" :"
and they will revolt. Ergo. the
more successful Russian com.
munism is, the less successful It,
will be.
No wonder George Kennan,
author Of the containment policy,
resigned from the State Depart
ment! To contain communism is
putting the cart before the
horse" said Secretary Acheson.

develop within the people q re-
sistance to communism based on
the dignity and right Of every
people to develop their own way

On the Record
Policy Advanced by Acheson for China
Declared so Extremely Comfortable

Of China and is acting contrary
to our own interest"
But, apparently, you can't de-
velop a resistance to communism
until you first have it, nor rise
in righteous anger against the vio-
lation of territorial integrity until
1t is violated.
This is certainly a subtlety out
subtling the Kremlin.
Another Tito, Obviously?
What we want to know, how
ever. is just how the indignation
Of the Chinese (and other)
peoples is going to express itself
once the Russian moose is around
their necks and all anti-Commu-
mist leaders assassinated or exiled?
There are at present some mil
lion Nationalist guerrillas on the
Chinese mainland. There are
900, 900 Chinese Nationalist troops
Grained by the United States) In
Formosa. There is a leadership,
now very reduced, but still a
leadership, and all these express
"the hatred and righteous anger
Of the Chinese people"
But we mustn't support them.
No, we must wait for something
more inspiring-obviously another
Tito.
Maybe Secretary Acheson has
one in mind. We suggest, however,
that the Russians have thought of
that possibility, and aren't going
to let it happen twice.
At any rate. we have q new
foreign policy. surely the most re-
markable in our history-and SO
extremely comfortable. Under it
we don't have to do a thing except
keep our own purposes perfectly
straight, perfectly pure, perfectly
aboveboard," and our enemies will
do all the rest for us!
Stain doesn't know 1t, but he's
our ally. The more peoples he SUBJ
jects, the more he will be hated
and. conversely, the more we,
sitting still in our perfect purity,
will be loved.
Obviously, too. we were wrong
about Hitler. If we had just let
him take the world. people would
have been plenty sore, and would
have revolted-the Jews, for in
stances.
It is incredible. But it's true;
It's the policy.

NAACP News
BY James L. Davis

The Maricopa County Branch of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
held it's first meeting of the new
year under the leadership of DR..
r. B. Phillips, newly elected presi-
dent.
The INSTRUMENTATION Minis
terial Alliance accepted a program
presented them by DR.. Phillips that
they become members of the
NAACP as a body, also as an in
dividual. They are to select the
Church in which the NAACP shall
meet on the first Sunday in each
month. Each minister will appoint
an NAACP membership chairman
from his. congregation. The min
listers also agreed to give one Sun
day in the year as NAACP Day on
which he will preach a sermon on
the associations activities and
achievements.
Last Sunday the Alliances first
program was inaugurated at Tan
ner Chapel A.M.E. Church. Rev.
F. D. L. Mcdonald, president of the
Alliance and first vice-president of
the NAACP was program chair
man. Attorney w. P. Mahoney,
Jr., was the principle speaker. The
attorney, in his talk, stated that
"God created all men equal, and
that the constitution of the United
States accepted that fact" and he
thought the Christianity, more than
democracy, should uphold the fact
through practice that all men are
created equal and are entitled to
equal opportunity and every right
of human beings.
The senior choir of Tanner Chap
ell furnished the music for the oc-
caSion, and received praise for the
beautiful songs rendered.
Mrs. Villa Mae CaSon, Tanner

date-Dad-to a big whim-ding!
These are the plans:
Invitations-Gi can invite their
Dads to be their date with Valen-
tines. If Dad can't come, girls may
invite a guest Dad.
Dinner-The barbecue will be
prepared by Abe Marcus, and cof-
fee and ice cream will be supplied
by the Camp Fire Council. This
means that the groups will need to
plan only on bringing pot-luck for
themselves their salad, beans,
bread, drink, cream, sugar, and eat
ing utensils and plates. The groups
may vary the menu in any way
they wish.
Place-We will use the city park
since we have all the necessary
facilities there and it is easily ac-
cessible- pray for a beautiful
evening!
Entertainments will be
followed by some group singing and
square dancing called by Wayne
Cunningham. Individual groups S
might want to plan something spe-
cial for their Dads during dinner.
ReservationS-We will need an
estimate at the next guardians
meeting of the number of girls and
Dads planning to come from each
group, so that we can plan on the
meat and ice cream.

Teenage-Highlights
By Donald Benton

BY this being the last of my teen
age columns, I will, to the best of
my opinion, tell of some events
and people about town. If you
have done anything, good or bad,
I will not fail to mention it.
First of all, as we have done
many times before, we give a vote
of thanks to Mrs. Bass who has
thrown many we'll placed punches
for the teenagers; Miss Redeau
and Mr.. Circe Mcclellan, who has
done an extraordinary job of run
ming our largest place of recrea-
ton, the "Club 81" in Eastlake
Park. In the near future, I'm sure
there will be many names added
to this list of "Teenage Pathmark-
ers," we hope so anyway.
During the period of time in
which I've written, these are the
top athletes of this school year.
We have Clovis Campbell, James
Billion, Harold Colbert, Willie
Kemp, and Wendell Scott, all have
an extraordinary talent for both
football and track. Campbell and
Billion are equally talented in track
as well as football, while Wendell
Scott can broad-jump like a kan
garoo. Charles Hester and Candy"
McClain are a must for tn Mon
arch track team. In basketball
there is Hadie Redd who is team
within himself; Clay Dansby and
Chuck Young, Carl Hammons, Cal
vim Watkins, Bertrand Russell, and
Jesse Jackson, who stuck out his
chest when he was named one of
the best centers in the city.
From my viewpoint, Edna Frank
lin and Eulis Harris is still the out
standing couple: For some of the
handsomest boys about town, there
is BurniSh Brooks, James Billion,
and Frank Martin. Burnis is hand
some in the cool way in which he
carries himself; Billion is in his own
rough way, and Frank Martin is
just handsome. I would mention
the most beautiful girls if I were
sure it wouldn't lead to disaster.
A party given by Marie Callahan
was fun for everyone, only Marie
would have had more fun if she
hadn't stumbled into a cyclone.
(Herbert Boyer) Hadie Redd
and Ottmar Hudson could 60 places
with the opposite sex if they would
try hard enough, and J. c. Walker
and Alonzo Brewer could go lot
farther if they didn't try so hard.
The latter part of that sentence
applies to most Of our teenage pop
ulation. This means girls as well
as the boys Joe Willie Steed
and Charles Hill were exchanging
looks at the marks on their chinS.
These marks are there because they
said the wrong thing to the wrong
person and Breezy" didn't like it
For laughs we have "The Edu-
Gated Toe" The "Toe" has done
much for the Monarch football
team with his expert kicking. Of
course, everyone knows that the
Educated Toe" is Andrew Stanch.
Most of our columns have been
mostly about girls, so I let the boys
take the spotlight this time. I hope
my last column meets your salts
fatcion. So take it easy until next

DOCTOR SAYS COMET
HEADS ARE FROZEN

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-(P.-Dr.
Fred Whipple, Harvard Observa-
tory, has a new theory of the
stuff that forms the heads of
comets. This is a combination of
various ices and of meteoric parti-
cles. The ices are frozen water,
dry ice frozen carbon dioxide),
and an unusual dry ice which is
poisonous carbon monoxide, froz-
en- methane or marsh gas, amm-
onia and cyanogen. Frozen meth
ane and ammonia are part of the
surface of the planet Jupiter The
meteoric particles would be
stones and bits of nickel-iron. DR..
Whipple thinks that the ices melt
when the comet gets close to the
sun. They freeze again when far
away.
