George N. Craig, national COM
mander of the American Legion,
said Legion surveys indicated the
recipients would do about what
World War 1 veterans did when
they got a bonus.
First of all, they probably will
pay off their old debts" Craig said.
much of the rest is likely to go

Craig said the Legion has set uI
committees throughout the country
to induce veterans to spend the
money for government bonds.
The Treasury Department said
each check will bear the inscrip-
ton used on wartime payroll

SECURITY LAW:
Matter of Discretion

The nations new Internal Security
act has already been under fire in
enforcement. The law had threat
ened for a time to bar the return
to this country of Arturo Toscanini,
the worlds most renowned conduc-
tor.
The immigration d departing n t
quickly issued a statement saying
the musician would be allowed to
re-enter this country, thereby avoid
ing a storm of protests.
At the anne time Attorney Gen
eral ]. Howard McGrath said he
was using his discretionary pow
er in permitting Friedrich Gulda,
20, Austrian pianist, to enter this
country for his American debut at
Carnegie Hall.
Gulda joined the Nazi youth move
ment at the age of 10 because the
law forced him to. The new law
bars admission to the country of
anyone who eve has been a men,
Der of, or "affiliated' with, a Com
munist, Nazi, Or Fascist party.

CHICAGO:
A Case of filters

Senator Kefauver of Tennessee
and his crime investigating commit
tee arrived in Chicago, held a series
of hearings, and departed leaving
a case of filters behind them that
reached into high circles.
Said the senator as he departed:
eve think we have found strong
evidence that the Capone syndicate
is still operating -. There is
evidence of %gangsters muscling into
legitimate businesses, and of politi-
cal ties between gangsters and poll
ticians of both parties"
Kefauver's committee planned
hearings in New York, Philadelphia
and then a jump back to Chicago.
A recent hearing in Miami revealed
connections between gamblers and
city officials in that winter resort.
After the Chicago hearings, Ke-
fauver said he is convinced that a
Malta is in operation in Chicago at
present. The Malta is an Italo-Si-
cilian-born secret society of loose
organization that specializes in ex-
tortion, and deals out its own pun,
ishment.

UNITED NATIONS:
New Twist for Soviet

While men died on the battlefields
OF Korea, power politics continued
to rage in the United Nations, but
with a new twist from the Soviet
Union.
The new twist developed when
the United States urged the U. N.
to adopt a plan by which national
troops would form a U.N. force
to keep world peace by the Veto
free general assembly.
Instead of ripping the plan apart,
Soviet foreign minister Andrei Wish
insky said he saw some good point
in it, but suggested each point of
the proposal be discussed separate
ly.
At first the western diplomats
were shaken by Vishinsky's con-
ciliatory tone and stared at each
other in disbelief. But then it
dawned upon them that by dis
cussing the points separately, Rus
STA almost certainly meant to oppose
the key provision that would al
low the general assembly to meet
in "a hours and act against agrees
sion if a veto paralyzed the security
council.
1t was the old, old story of pol
itics between world powers.

KOREA:
A Future Hope

The United Nations gave Gen.
Douglas Macarthur the signal to
cross the 18th parallel in the final
campaign to crush the Communists
and the future hope of a unified
| Korea.
But the delay in giving that ap-
proval may cost the U.N. forces
in manpower and material. 1t gave
the Communists time to collect
their shattered forces and prepare
for another stand, whereas a con-
tinued attack by U.N. troops when
the Reds were in full flight could
have ended the war quickly.
1t was the old story of immature
thinking and lack of plans on the
part Of the western nations. Had
the situation been reversed, is there
anyone who thinks the Reds would
have stopped long enough to let
U.N. forces regroup? They would
have continued to attack and Sc
cure any necessary approval later.
But be that as it may, the gen.
eral assembly finally got around
to voting on the invasion of North
Korea, approving it AZ to S.
The assembly authorized:
l.. That "all appropriate steps be
taken to insure conditions of sta
bility throughout Korea"
2. THAT U.N. forces should not re-
main in any part of Korea otherwise
so far as necessary to achieve
some other aims of the plan"

STASSEN:
A Just World Peace

Harold E. Stassen, president OF
the University of Pennsylvania
and twice an %aspirant for the Re-
publican presidential nomination,
stepped in where angels fear to
tread.
The former Minnesota governor
wrote a letter to Premier Stain
suggesting that they confer on
steps that need be taken to achieve
"a just world peace"
Stassen was quick to point out
that his letter was written without
consultation either with President
Truman or the state department;
that is, Stassen had written to Stain
in his private capacity and the let
ter had no official inspiration.
Stassen declared that, if his bid
was successful, he would have -four
or five of this country's top citi-
zen leaders" accompany him to
Moscow for the conference.
There is a possibility that Stain
might accept Stassen's proposal.
In fact, some quarters believe the
Russians will jump at the chance,
if for nothing else, at least for the
opportunity to pound out the old
propaganda line that the Soviet is
anxious for world peace.
There is little possibility, how
ever, that anything constructive
will come of such a meeting. What
ever Stain and Stassen's delegation
might agree upon would have no
official standing and in all prob
ability would not coincide with
American foreign policy.
AS could be expected, Stassen's
gesture produced political over
tones Immediately. One Democratic
spokesman pointed out that the
initiative of any such project prop
erly belongs with the state depart
ment.

RISING COSTS:
Cut $50 Jet Fiqhters

The howl of the housewife that
prices have climbed beyond any
reasonable or sensible level was
taken up by the air force which re-
ported between April and Septem-
Der increases weakened the forces
purchasing power by an equivalent
of $50 F-86 jet fighter planes.
The cost increases in essential
materials, John McCone, under
secretary for air, told the house
armed services subcommittee
would run about $315 million.
The under-secretary cited many
examples. Among the increases
were crude rubber, 1888 per cent;
aluminium, 80 per cent; copper,
1876 per cent; tin 1928 per cent;
plus signs of accompanying wage
rises as another basic factor in
cost estimation.
1t all boils down to the fact
which the housewife has long
known: prices are climbing by
leaps and bounds. If the increases
were hurting the armed service
then perhaps something would be
done to relieve the pinch on the
general public.
Rep. Carl Vinson, member of the
armed services committee, was
blunt about the situation:
Lets not kid, ourselves. Con-
gress has a choice of seeing these
programs cut a, 428 new aircraft
by 1882, or coming up with addi-
tional appropriations to meet these

Shrubs and Trees For
Landscaping
Because of the wide variation
in climatic conditions in the state,
it is not possible to list here the
kinds of shrubs and trees worth
while for landscape planting. How
ever, there are some other impor-
tant aspects of schulz and tree Sc
lection that can be discussed in
a general way.
Shrubs and trees are very i'm
portant in landscape design. One
of the important considera-
tions in their selection is hardness.
One can determine hardness by
examining local trees and shrubs
and noting how they are surviving.
If n were to count the number
of species of shrubs and trees
hardy in an area, the list would
likely be more lengthy than an
ticipated. Ornamentals that lack
hardness should not be grown, as
they require so much extra work
in providing winter protection.
Choose trees and shrubs that will
grow to a size that is in keeping
with the size of the grounds. Too
often one will see liIacs, honey
suckle or spruce used as founda-
ton plants. AS they grow to ma
turity they dwarf the building.
Instead, there is a large selection
of dwarf and medium shrubs well
suited for foundation planting.
Some trees like poplars and cot
tonwoods grow too large for most
home grounds. There is always
danger of wind or storms breaking
them and causing damage. In ad-
dition, the roots OF these trees
readily find entrance into sewe-
lines. They will also dam
age to foundations, or heave side
walks if grown close to them. 1t
is difficult to grow grass under
shallow rooted trees. Choose the
more dependable, slow-growing
trees for landscaping the yard and
do not overplant them.
Fxcent for large properties the
large pines and spruce have only
a limited place in ~landscaping
They should be used pri-
for background effect.
Placing them in the center of the
front lawn does not contribute to-
good landscape design. Such trees
eventually hide the house and de-
stroy any possibility of doing a
good job of landscaping.
The dwarf evergreens r very

spaced six to eight feet apart, and
low shrubs two to four feet apart.
Shrubs provide beauty through
out the year. Some possess much
more ornamental value than others.
They are grown for beautiful
leaves, attractive flowers, colorful
berries, brilliant fall foliage %colors,
and snowy bark in the winter time.
Through careful selection one can
develop real beauty from orna-
mental shrubs all year round.

CRIME:
