By HERM BICK

Some people have the knack
of learning very easy while
others just seem to need pic
lures drawn for them. One lit
tie item in particular is a con-
yention or for that matter any
thing where you have to send a
delegate or delegates. Some peo-
pie think when anything is to be
voted on where it will affect a
group, of people this certain
item houId be brought up
b e fore the body first before
a delegate can vote on it. Well
it would be kind of hard to do
if the convention was held in
some far-off city, and in the
second place why do you send
people to conventions for, to
vote for the welfare of the peo-
Pile whom they represent. One
thing that has been, in my
knowledge a great deal of dis
cussion since 1t was passed at
the last convention and just is
not clear in the minds of a ma
jority of people at the shop, is
the passing of the dallor assess
ment for the strike fund when
a strike is as large as the one
at Chrysler. Well to my knowl-
edge it was twelve dollars ($l2)
well spent, whether or not the
rest of you people think so. the
best explanation / can give you
is, put yourself in their shoes
and then think it over. Yes some
even said that Chrysler strikers
didn't even get the money. Well
why don't they find out for
themselves, then they might be
satisfied, but we still doubt 1t.
1t Is too bad more people were
not present at the last Local IL
meeting held at the Civic Audi
torium. Yes 1t was a very un-
favorable night but If you are
as interested in your Local IL
as you say you are that little
rain wouldn't stop you. If you
were given free rattle tickets on
a car, all hell and high water
wouldn't stop you or If a beer
party was given. Anyway 1t was
well attended by the people who
are interested.

been quite the topic the past

Copenhagen is so spread out
that it must have less traffic con-
gestion than any city Of its size
in the world. The bulk of the
traffic is made up Of bicycles. OF
course, there is always the chance
that Copenhagen Is jealous Of the
traffic of other world capitals, and
has hired the Frenchman to get
it into q state of high, honking
confusion. If that's the aim, then
the right man undoubtedly has
been chosen.

Reassurances Sought.
Reassurances from Republicans
are being earnestly sought by
their fellow Republican. the Ha-
waiian delegate, Joseph r. Far
rington. There is much he can
say.
The party of Abraham Lincoln
has been pulling irons from the
fire for Southern Democrats
rather too obviously lately. Re-
publican votes defeated the Bark
ley ruling on cloture; Republican
Leader Wherry co-operated with
Senators Byrd and Russell on the
new stiffened cloture rule that
makes civil rights legislation all
but impossible. There is certainly
hypocrisy on both sides on civil
rights and statehood, but even SO
it does not do to be obvious.

honorable protestationS of the ma
tions of the West"
In this enterprise Of promoting
cynicism in the Orient about
America. the United States SEN
ate seems ready to give the Sow
let Union a helping hand.
Statehood for Alaska and Ha-
wall, concrete proof that United
States democracy faces east as
well as west, has been approved
by the House and is ready for
action by the Senate. But when
Majority Leader Lucas said he
would call 1t up following the ap-
preparation bill, the storm signals
few.
Senator Eastland of Mississippi
announced he would move to dis
place 1t with the Mundt- Ferguson
bill. This measure, sponsored by
two Republicans, has the worthy
purpose Of controlling United
States Communists, but the ad-
ministration opposes it as un.
workable in itself and untimely

Appeals to Republicans.
But the bill has great appeal tc
the Republicans, who think they
can cash in on the Communist
issue in the fall elections. Sen
ator EaStland Is tempting them
shrewdly; they would like nothing
better than to force Democrats tc
appear to be in opposition to an
anti Communist move.
The MiSsissippian's primary in.
terest is different. He stands fol
white supremacy and he hates
and fears the idea of four United
States Senators from Alaska and
Hawaii. They are bound to op-
pose the Solid South in race mat
ters and will cut down its proper
tional influence in every way.
The majority leader fears he will
not face a simple setback If the
Mundt-Ferguson bill replaces
statehood. Senator LANCER, North
Dakota Republican, who opposes
the present Mundt-Ferguson draft,
now denies that he threatened to
attach civil rights riders to it, in

ton could be tricky.

shadow Of the Iron Curtain. It
led and 1t joined the United Ma
tions in calling upon the other
member nations. large and
small" to do their respective
shares in this effort.
There was no thought in this
country that ours would not be
the major effort, that we would
not supply most Of the manpower,
most of the money and most OF
the material. We have reacheo
out in the past five years to as
sumo the major burden Of reha-
bilitating and strengthening the
free world.
But this endeavor has been far
from a selfish one, and when an
overwhelming majority Of the
United Nations accepted the chal-
|lenge Of aggression in Korea we
had reason to expect that there
would be friends on the firing
line as well as at the message
centerS.
To date the results have been
disappointing. Elements Of air
and naval strength Of other
nationalities have appeared in the
combat zone, a few promises have
been received Of ground troops
to come, a scattering of other Of
fers have been acknowledged and
some regrets have been filed.
Today American men are dying
in Korea and new billions Of
American dollars are being
ploughed into the ornaments of
war, the vitals Of defense of others
as well as of ourselves.
Strength Has Limit.
Perhaps it is presumptuous to
lecture the other free nations on
what they should do. But it is
not inappropriate to point out to
them that the United States is not
a bottomless reservoir Of military
and economic strength, that our
astounding success in placing
fighting men in far of field in
a matter Of days and weeks is
not matched by promises of the
men of other nations in three
months or a year, and that the
American people are being con-
fronted constantly with the per-
suasive suggestion that we might
more profitably and justiflably
concentrate on conserving and
strengthening our own internal
defenses and economy.
Tomorrow some other nation of
the free world may be the target
of Soviet aggression. If such
happens. the victim can look no
where but to the United States
for aid. viii it be a nation that
offered and speeded all it could
to the collective effort in Korea?
Or will it be one that expressed
| regrets?

cent conception. Constantine Brown.
The United States, never an ag-
greSSor nation, has taken a lead
role in trying to make this con-
ception fact of life in the world.
With patience. even If not always
with best Judgment or soundest
wisdom, the United States, or more
Importantly the American people,
has tried to guide this collective
effort in the direction Of peace.
There has been one recalcitrant
nation. Soviet Russia. Working out
Of pattern which was clear even
before the United Nations was
founded. Russia has followed a
policy Of aggression, of conquest
and even of genocide in the en-
velopment of neighboring nations
and peoples. It is confirmation,
perhaps. of the stated ideals and
objectives of the United States
that Russia during the postwar
years has recognized and publ
cized our country as its real tar
get.
Aggression in Korea was a
Soviet move, a calculated gamble
that peace-loving America would
not react to a point of armed
intervention. If Moscow had been
right it could have ridiculed the
softness Of purpose Of the United
States, played to advantage the
propaganda line that America was
a friend only of the great West
ern powers. But Moscow lost
as the United States threw its
resources Of blood and steel into
defense Of a weak little republic
far removed from the perimeter
of our own territorial or economic
interests.

In so doing, the United States

Much as we like Copenhagen,
maybe it Is just as well that we
are leaving for Oslo in a few
days. For a reason which no
visitor can possibly figure out
this city has decided it has a
serious traffic problem. And. for
a reason which I am sure no
sane man could ever figure out,
Copenhagen's city fathers have
decided to import a Frenchman
"a Partisan, no less-to help
them solve their problem.
Now, anyone familiar with
Paris traffic knows that it can't
even rightly be called traffic, SO
horrible is it. 1t is a continual
snarl, tangle, bang. honk and

than trying to make 1t across the
