Add Farm HOUSING
Specialist To Ex.
Staff In Texas

The appointment of Emmett A.
Randolph, colored agriculture Ex-
tension agent, as a State housing
specialist was announced last week
in report received by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture from
the Texas State Extension Service
Prior TO his promotion, Mr.. Ran
dolph, a Tuskegee graduate, had
been an Extension agent in Fayette
county since 1888. During those II
years, he contributed much to the
development of an improved heus-
ing program in the county, says
the reports.
One of his outstanding accom-
plishments was the organization OF
farm housing group who built
a sawmill out of an old automi-
bile engine and sawed up enough
lumber off their farms to repair
their homes, construct barns and
other farm buildings and an Ex-
tension office and farm shop.
In the report, State Leader w.
c. Davis says that Mr.. Randol-
phi will provide colored formers
all over the State with technical
assistance in building and remodel
ing their homes and farm build
ings He will place major en-
phasis upon the use of native
materials in order to help the
farmers reduce the cost OF i'm
provements, Mr.. Davis adds.

such a policy and we do not pro-
pose to adopt such a policy.
The attitude which we take Is
that we and our allies are moving
ahead with courage and with de-
termination to build our common
strength. We regard our dangers
as common dangers and we believe
that they can be met and must be
met by common strength. We be-
lieve that they need our help in
order to maintain their security
and that we need their help. We
know that if we took any attitude
that we could let them go and let
whatever happened happen, we
would find ourselves in a position
of unutterable national shame and
great national weakness.
Therefore, we are taking pol
icy of going forward with vigor
and with determination and with
courage. We are rejecting any
policy of sitting quivering in a
storm cellar waiting for whatever
fate others may wish to prepare
for us. AS I say, we have rejected
that course and, as the President
made entirely clear last week, we
are firmly resolved to build our
strength side by side with our
allies. By doing so we believe that
we are calling upon the great po-
tential strength of the entire free
world to maintain its freedom. We
believe that we can, If we pull to-
gether, build that strength and We
are determined that we shall build

Senator Byrd Urges
81 Billion Cut in 1851
lin Non-Defense Items
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

A 81 to SO billion cut in non
defense spending next year has
been suggested to President Tru-
man by Senator Byrd, Democrat
of Virginia.
Unless strict economies are OBJ
served, Senator Byrd wrote the
President, military outlays will
raise the 1872 Federal budget
to $75 billion, a prospect the vir-
ginian called frightening"
Security is our first obligation,
and under existing conditions we
must visualize tremendous mill
tary expenditures in a long-range
perspective" Senator Byrd wrote.
1T is frightening to contemplate
continuation of 5-billion-year
deficits Indefinitely. We do not
control the duration. It may be
5 years. 10 years, or longer"
Senator Byrd proposed the
budget be trimmed by cutting the
foreign economic assistance pro-
gram from 81 billion to $500
million. He said strictly domes-
tic-civilian programs" including
the Post Office deficit could be
cut by $3.6 billion. And he called
for a $500 million saving in civil
ian manpower in the Defense De-
partment, declaring that the
armed forces are notorious for
extravagant use Of civilian man
power"
The Senator estimated that
taxes from all sources now will
reach $51 billion in q full year
and that a third tax increase will
be an immediate prospect"

than ever before in our history
Yet, it is obvious that this is sadly
lacking. We are fumbling in the
greatest crisis we have ever en-
countered and the optimistic re-
assurances of the men in charge
of the Nations destiny sound hol-
low.
The very same men who, for
alleged ethical" reasons, have
permitted China - one of the
worlds vital strategic areas-to
fall into the hands of Moscow re-
main in top policy-making posts.
Manpower Available.
While tens Of thousands of
American boys are being killed
and wounded in Korea, Govern
ment officials are still reluctant to
employ the only available man
power to ease their plight. The
manpower is the Nationalist forces
in Formosa and the guerrillas on
the mainland of China.
The authorities are brushing
aside statements from Tokyo that
a campaign in Central and South
ern China, by a combined force of
Nationalist regulars and guerril-
las, would force Mao Tse-tung to
divert portion of his best troops
from Korea.
The American people, who have
heard the fairy tale that Mao
might soon become another Tito
because the Chinese Communist
leaders at heart are mere "agrar-
ian reformers, can't believe that
this is anything more than wishful
thinking. And they wonder what
restraints our leaders from taking
action to meet the situation in
Asia directly.
Our faith in the United Ma
tions, which was greatly increased

last June when the North Korean
aggression was met with force,
now has taken a sharp drop.
This organization, which was
lion-hearted last June, became
chicken-hearted in November,
when Red China became the ag-
gressor.
Instead of meeting the new
situation with the same determi-
nation, it shelved the American
resolution to declare the Peiping
government the aggressor. To top
everything a delegation of three,
composed of representatives of
Iran, Canada and India, begged
to be received by China's new
grand mogul-Mao Tse-tung-
and were ready to go, ngurative-
ly, bare-headed and with ashes
on their head to a new Canossa
in Asia.
Pathetic Display of Fear.
This pathetic display of fear
had far greater reverberations
throughout Asia and Europe than
the defeats of the U. N. troops in
Korea.
The confusion of the American
people is further increased by the
optimistic declarations from our
policy-makers of what has been
achieved in Europe recently. We
have induced the French to &C
cept Germany in the organization
of an army to resist Russia. But
most of our military leaders ex-
press the fear-off the record
that this may be too late.
Last year there was a real.
possibility of strengthening the
Western European wall. But at
that time the main topic of dis
cussion by the three governments
which occupy Western Germany
was whether or not the Germans
should be permitted to have shot
guns to defend their potato and
vegetable crops against rabbits
and wild boars.
The French opposed it and won
their way until last summer, when
this prohibition was partially
lifted. The number of shotgun
shells the German farmers could
own was still controlled. Now we
are talking optimistically about
organizing overnight" is
about all the time we have-a
German force equipped with
tanks, heavy guns and planes.
Our policy-makers knew last
year that the situation was 60
ing from bad to worse and that
only an effective force could in
timidate Stain. Throughout the
years since the end of the war
they have followed a hit-and miss
miss.

If Dewey Were President, Taft

one Of the worlds shrewdest

We haven't got that kind of
situation, however. President Tru-
man has a loyal cabinet with no
member nourishing a visible am
bition to take his job. The Sena-
tors who would remold his cabinet
nearer to their hearts desire are
members of the opposition party.
Their attack on the Secretary of
State is an attack on the President
himself, Secretary Acheson being
made the whipping boy on the
theory that he is vulnerable polit-
ically.
Had Lincoln not been a strong
and wise man the uprising of his
own party's Senators might have
succeeded. But it is difficult to un-
derstand how the present crop
of Republican Senators brought
themselves to believe that Presi-
dent of the opposite party could

Mrs. TorresoIa Is Released
Without Bail in Truman Plot
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-A United

out bail yesterday one of four
Puerto Ricans held here as sus-
pected accomplices in the Novem-
ber l attempt on President Tru-
mans life.
However, Commissioner Edward
w. Mcdonald reserved decision on
a defense motion to dismiss the
complaint against the four.
The release on her own recogni-
zance of Mrs. Carmine '1orresola,
%, was ordered by Commissioner
Mcdonald at a hearing. Mrs.
Torresola, whose husband was
slain in the assassination attempt,
had been held first N $4,000
bail, then in $4,000.
The hearing was held because
of a United States Court of Ap-
peals ruling that the suspects
must be freed unless they either
receive a hearing or are indicted.
Still held in $4,000 bail are
the other two suspects, Julio Pinto
Garcia. AZ, head of the New York
unit of the Puerto Rican Nation
alist Party, and Juan Bernardo
Lebron. %, past president of the
party.
Mrs. Rosa Collazo, AZ, whose
husband awaits trial In Wash

connection with the assassination
