DEFENSE:
A Contradiction

A slight confusion seemed to be
the chief thing which could be
read into the first annual report
by Defense Secretary Louis John
son on the activities and findings
of his department.
WITH one breath, Secretary
johnson warned that an attack on
this country could come from the
opposite hemisphere without warn
ing and with unpredictable fury"
In the next, he expressed belief
that the prospect of war is dimin-
ishing despite the Russian attitude
of belligerence.
Other than its further identified
ton of Americas first potential
enemy, the secretary's report held
little of excitement or import It
was encouraging to find that he
was convinced that the military
strength of the U. S. is a major
deterrent in the start of a shoot
ing war by any other nation. That
conclusion would come as a COM
forting confirmation of the belief
of many millions of Americans
tnat pollcy OF armed strength at
home is the best assurance against
threats from abroad.
AFTER REPORTING on ex-
penses of his department, military
diplomatic activities, and other
functions, the defense secretary
declared his belief that while he
did not discount the damage done
to unification of the armed serv-
ices by the interservice controver-
sizes, he believes that the extent
of these conflicts has been exag-
gerated."
He also reported, parenthetically
as it were, that Russia now has
the secret of the atom bomb a fact
with which everyone in the U. S.
is all too familiar for any degree of
comfort.

LABOR:
CIV Of Foul

Labor is never so vocal as when
It feels its own particular rights
and privileges are being stepped
on. This was evidenced by the
cries emanating from Miami
Beach, Fla, where angry ALL
leaders charged that Robert N.
Denham, general counsel of the
national labor relations board, was
campaigning to apply the antitrust
laws to big labor unions.
1T ALWAYS has been puzzling
to the average American why labor
itself is not subject to some gov
ernmental control-such as business
and industry encounter in their op-
erations. The average Americans
sense of fair play-were no other
factors involved-would cause him
to puzzle over that.
Denham catapulted himself into
the AFL's bad graces in a speech
before the American Trucking as
ISOLATION. In that address, he
singled out the ALL teamsters
union with which the truckers do
business. He said the teamsters
have tremendous potential
power" to paralyze the country
with simultaneous trucking strikes
over the nation.
DAN TOB1N, president of the
teamsters, and William Green,
AFL president, commended that
Denham's views were unfounded
and pointed out that the teamsters
have had no SERIOUS strikes for
several years" and none now OF
which they were "aware."
The ALL council charged Dem
ham has stamped himself by his
speeches as the antagonist of Or
ganized labor and the protagonist
of the employers"
Then they advocated he be
thrown out of his job, particularly
because he suggested certain
labor unions are monopolistic.
Words ofttimes are convenient
things: one can become all things
to all men, as viewpoint or STRAIT
egg directs.

ing OF brotherhood" adding that
there probably has never been a
time in history when true brother
hood was so indispensable to the
welfare of our own nation and to
the peace and freedom of the en-
tire world"
IN A SIMILAR VEIN, former
Secretary of the Navy John L.
Sullivan, named general chairman
Of the national observance, inter-
preted this years event. 1.-THE big
question today is whether the hu-
man spirit will remain free or
whether it is to be enslaved by
totalitarianism," Sullivan declared.
1.-THE dignity of man is on trial
throughout the world" he con-
tinued, land the fate of our civili-
cation may well depend upon the
outcome. 1t will survive only if the
ideal Of mans inalienable rights is
acknowledged, res.pe ted and
strengthened"
First established in 1884 by the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews, Brotherhood Week has
been celebrated each year during
the week Of George Washington's
birthday as a special period when
the people of all faiths in the
United States are invited to con-
slider together the need and impli-
cations of good will among Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews.
IN 1884, some 800 communities
across the United States partici-
pated in Brotherhood Week events;
In 1912 there were 800 communities.
In 1914 the number spiralled to
1000. The figure today is impos-
sible to estimate, according to Sui
Ivan, so widespread is the, desire
Of Americans Of all faiths to DEM
onstrate their loyalty to the basic
ideals Of respect for, people and
human rights which ore essential
to our way Of life.
As observed with growing COM
munity participation each year,
brotherhood Week dramatizes the
practical things which people can
do to promote understanding and
retaliation Of time-honored Amer
lean principles.

IH-BOMBS:
Time Of Decision

One of the most important deci-
sions in world history had been put
up to Harry S. Truman. Should he
order construction of the hydro
gen bomb?
When, after a respectable period
Of elaboration, he did make up his
mind, the President expressed his
decision in the most matter-of-fact
manner possible!
The U. S. would continue its de-
velopment and production of all
types of military weapons, includ-
ing atomic ornaments and the So
called hydrogen bomb. That state
ment, probably Intentionally cryp-
tic, may or may not have meant
that the u. S. already has begun
work on the H-bomb.
Only one thing was sure-it was
terribly important decision, not only
to Mr.. Truman but to every person
IN the world.
1T WASN'T the cost of the bomb
that was a poser, even though that
was expected to be in the neighbor-
hood Of four billion dollars. 1t
wasn't doubt as to whether it
could be made, for science de-
clared it could. 1t wasn't a hest
fancy about its effect, for if an
enemy decided to, and could, con-
struct the bomb, any experiments
on the part of the U. S. to make
and test it would be justified.
No, it was none of these that
aggravated the responsibility and
the solemnity of the decision. In
stead, it was the question of life
and death involved and even more
terrible, if purely speculative,
question; Might not man be I'M
1eashing force which would de-
stroy all mankind?
THE PREPONDERANC of per-
suasion was by those advocating
the bomb. Sen Willard Tydings
3D., Md.,) chairman of the armed
services committee gave voice to
what the majority of presidential
advisers was thinking.
He urged that the U. S. proceed
with manufacture of the bomb, de-
claring that failure to do so could
invite attack. But President Tru-
man was probably thinking of the
horrible and utter devastation, the
incalculable deaths, the vast de-
struction which would be hurled
upon enemy and innocent alike.

HOUSING:
So, 900 Units

Could the American individual!
in search of new home afford
to pay $4,000 for it, Federal hous-
ing officials believe that to be a
fair figure and Raymond M. Foley,
housing administrator, explained
to the house banking committee
bill for federal housing aid based
on that premise.
FOLEY STATED that the admin
istration is considering construc-
ton, through cooperatives and other
non-profit organizations, of some
100000 housing units on an aver
age cost of $4,000 each.
The homes envisioned in the pro-
gram would be for families with
annual cash incomes of $4,000 and
$4,000. One third If the urban fam
lilies of the nation had incomes
within that "middle-income" range
in 1913.
The endeavor, even in the eyes
of the severest critics, appeared
laudable, but with the cost of liv-
ing as it is and high income taxes
for families without above-average
exemptions, would still put the
$4,000 home out of reach of many.
AS AN INSTANCE of that sup
position, Foley said average month
ly payments would be about $50.
That's 1928 a year. Add a 81, 900
food, meat and milk bill, and the
total outlay for the new home own
er is S1,828. This would leave the
$4,000 year man S972. Taking av-
erage figures, utilities, health costs,
insurance, clothing, transportation
(there would be nothing with which
to pay for a carr recreation and in
cidentals would amount to about
$516. This would leave some $500,
or less than $40 month with which
to meet emergencies or other
needs.
So, it is easily apparent that the
$4,000 house, the 500 monthly pay
ment and cos t-of-living items
would run the $2,8O0-a-year man
so close to the edge, that he'd
hardly have anything left for
pack of butts each week.

Life Expectancy

Perhaps it's indicative, perhaps
it isn't-but, for whatever - it's
worth in life expectancy computa-
ton, it's a fact that the United
States has more than 5000 people
who are more than 100 years old.
It wasn't too many years ago
that life insurance companies on
their annuity tables had everybody
dead at SO. In other words, that was
the extreme age at which anyone
was supposed to be around.

HOMELESS:
Brock for DPS

An easement of the present law
which limits entry of displaced
persons into the United States to
EOS, 1000 in the two-year period end
ing June 80, this year, has been ap-
proved by the Senate judiciary
committee.
THAT GROUP voted to permit
100000 homeless foreigners to en-
ter this country by June 30, 1851.
This includes the approximately
$4,000 who already have entered.
The committee voted by 10 to 8
to approve bill which would make
other changes in the present DIP
law which President Truman has
urged
For example, it would shift the
date by which displaced persons
must have entered European DIP
camps to be eligible for entry into
this country The present law fixed
the date for December, 1945. The
bill which the committee approved
would change that to January l,
1919.
The ACTION came on the eve
of the date which the senate had
ordered the committee to report
out a DIP bill.
The house bill has been approved
by the committee over the protests
of Chairman McCarran 3D., New,
who was in Europe at the time.
After a heated floor fight, the sem
ate sent the measure back to COM

NO ELECTION
 REQUEST OF
 FISH UNION

SEATTLE. July 13 R = TEe Alaska Fish Cannery Workers Union (AFL) asked the National Labor Relations Board today to re- consider a board decision denying the union the right to withdraw a petition for an election among non- resident Alaskan salmon cannery workers.
 An election to determine union jurisdiction over the 2,000 non- resident workers has been scheduled by the NLRB to begin about July 27 at GOT First Ave. The workers will vote as they return from Alaska.
 The AFL union, which originally petitioned for an election along with Local IT, United Westinghouse Workers Union (CIO) later sought to prevent the election by with drawing it's petition. The CIO union took similar action.
 The NLRB denied the withdrawal petitions in June and ordered its regional office to go ahead with plans for the balloting
 John Geisness, attorney for the AFL union. restated his belief that circumstances had developed that would make it impossible to conduct a fair election in the industry.
 Geisness asked the board, should it refuse to reconsider it's previous ruling to order that the election be held at the canneries in Alaska in- stead of in Seattle as the workers return.
 The AFL union, Local 77 CPack- inghouse Workers) and Local 7-C International Longshoremen and Warehousemen's Union (CIO) have been competing for control. of the nonresident workers.
 The AFL union and Local " sought to withdraw their election petitions after the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, had signed a con- tract with the ILWU local provid- ing for a hiring hall. Local 7-C had struck before the contract was signed.

MEN, MONEY FOR
 KOREA WAR
President Tells of Plans Under Questioning al
 News Conference

WASHINGTON, July 13 = R = President Truman said today he is considering mobilizing more men and money behind the Korean war effort. He declared he will take any steps necessary to bring it to a suc- ceSsful conclusion.
 In mood of confidence and de- termination, MT. Truman told a news conference the United States will hold on in Korea.
 He said we never have had the tar licked out of us and it won't happen this time.
 Under questioning, the President said that among the things relat- ing to the Korean emergency under consideration for proper action at the proper time are these:
 Calling in reserves, specialists and the National Guard.
 Asking Congress for more money for military purposes in the near future. w
 Mobilization of manpower in general.
 Reports both to the people and to Congress on the Korean situa- tion.
 MT. Truman said he hasn't changed the opinion he expressed last week that conditions in Korea are hopeful.
 Are they anything more than hopeful?" a reporter asked. The newsman added that queries are coming all the time as to what re- assurances can be given that we are not getting the tar licked out of us.
 It's never happened to us, MT Truman replied emphatically, and it won't happen this time.
 He went on to say that we'll be able to retain foothold in Korea one as far north as the 38th par allel.
 Asked whether that meant there would be no police action" north of that line, MT. Truman said that decision would be made when it be- comes necessary.
