Troop Carrier

One of the most important con-
tributions to modern warfare made
during the long and extensive con-
flict of World War II was the use
of troop carrier and airborne
forces. Although originated by the
Russians, and developed to a high
degree by the Germans, it was the
United States that understood its
eventual potentialities and applied
the final polish, making it a highly
contributing factor to success in all
the major campaigns of the war
in Europe.

This is called "alligatoring" and

Modes
New Old Look

NF~W SNS sg0M
There is a definite 1920 flavor about
many Of the new spring styles IN
Paris but French designers have re-
tanned many Of the feminine traits Of
present-day fashions.
The natural waistline is retained
and still inclines to the hour-glass
form.
Skirts are shorter but still cover tha
knees.
Sleeveless coats, with that wrap
around mems dressing gown look, are
plentiful.
The big color this spring is navy
blue. Second is yellow and after that
a galaxy Of bright colors.
The newest neckline is horseshos
shaped and dips to the waist. Modesty
vests make them less censorable.
Designers are doing peculiar things
to turs. They have cropped fox fur
to look like beaver, dyed Il bottle
green and made brief capes Of IL.
One prominent Paris designer in-
troduced a brand new fur called
"mustache," which is q combination
Of monkey and fox. Il looks liks

Money

Changing the Long Green
Changing us. currency to some
color other than green would enable
the government to trap tax chiselers,
says Rep. Pat Sutton (D-Tenn).
He doesn't care what color it would
be: purple, brown or yellow.
He just wants it changed with the
stipulation that the present money
would be worthless if it weren't ex-
changed within 80 days or so after
the new bills came out. His idea is
this:
A lot of sly characters, such as big
time gamblers, are operating on a
strictly cash basis. No records are
kept. Profits are stashed away in
safety deposit boxes and the Treasury
Department has no way to check on
possible income tax violations.
Under the Sutton plan, a record
would be kept of all individuals who
showed up with a gunny sack of
greenbacks for exchange.
This would be a blow at the ma
tion's tax evaders," says Sutton,
They'll have to dig it up for ex-
change or they'll lose everything.
Then tax collectors, working with the
banks, can go after them"
Actually, the nations money is
pretty hard to change. No major
tampering has taken place since
paper currency was cut down to its
present size in 1929.

GI Bill Cutbocks

The government is getting ready to
start closing the doors on its $30,000,-
600 free school program for veterans.
A regulation to be issued April
will bar veterans with certain excep-
tions) from the Veterans Administra-
tion's training and education program
unless they enroll by July Is, 1851.
Other new rules will make it hard
for eX-GIs to change courses and will
prevent them, after completing one
course, from starting another even
though they have some unused school
credit.

Hard-PresSed Colleges
Federal Security Administrator Os-
car R. Ewing declared last week that
many American colleges and universi-
ties soon will be on the verge of bank
ruptcy because rising costs exceed
their incomes.
He asked Congressional action to
provide federal assistance to states in
maintenance of primary and second
ary school standards, adding that Eve
are rapidly approaching a crisis in
higher education"
Ewing said many institutions had
been tided over by the CT Bill and
now, he pointed out, that flood is re-
ceding.
Medical Schools

doctors, reports DR.. Joseph C. Hinsey
of Cornell, president of the Associa-
ton of American Medical Colleges. He
said 1854 new students entered medi-
cal schools last fall.
"This represents a gain in enroll

THE east-split among the Allies
4 left Germany a drawn and
quartered country under occupa-
ton rule.
Big Four dissension brought
about creation Of two new Ger
manies, each pitted against the other.
The West German Republic with head-
quarters at Bonn and the Peoples Re-
public with its capital at Berlin each
scheme to take over the other even
tually.
Postwar Germany, in many re-
spects, has been hapless pawn in a
colossal chess game played BY Russia
and the west. Such moves as the Ber-
lin blockade have prostrated economic
recovery and made Germans UNDER
standably bitter.
The Big Four differences have given
some Germans opportunity to play one
occupation power against another.
StOcktakink
Last week John ]. McCloy, u. S.
High Commissioner, took inventory Of
German politics after FIVE months OF
self-government under the West Ger
man Republic. He did not like what
he found.
In a major speech at Stuttgart.
McCloy outlined American occupation
policies and tacitly admitted that Ger
man progress toward democracy was
neither as fast nor wholehearted as Il
should be.
He bluntly warned western Ger
mans to concentrate on internal prob
lens, avoid agitation on foreign issues
and antt-Alhed criticism. He declared
there would be no German army or
air force, that too many former Nazis
are creeping back into important
places and that too many west Ger
mans are apathetic about political
duties.
I'VE Americans are not here exci1-
sively to feed the German .people. I"
McCloy said. "Our main purpose is to
help Germany achieve political recov-
cry"
Silent on Translation
An audience Of 400 Germans an
plauded occasionally during the ad-
dress in English. They were complete
ly silent when it was repeated in Ger
man.
The critical tone Of McCloy's speech
was shock to some German politi-
clans at Bonn who had been inclined
to consider the u. S. the most concilis-
tory of Allied partners. They had been
hoping McCloy would intercede with
the British and French to ease occu-
patton rules.

POLITICS: Programs for 1850 and 1852

HHE Senate has passed and the
i House soon will consider a
constitutional amendment that
would revise the electoral system
and drastically change American
politics.
Under the present system, cam
didate for President who wins the ma
jority of the popular vote in each
state is traditionally given all Of that
states electoral votes. A candidate to
be elected must win a majority of the
electoral vote, or the House will se-
lect the new President from the top
three candidates.
Popular Vote to Decide
The new amendment would n It
change the apportionment of electoral
votes Zone for each Congressman but
no actual electors would be chosen.
Each states electoral vote would be
divided in proportion to its popular
vote.
A candidate to be elected must win
at least 40 per cent of the electoral
vote or the House and Senate, in joint
session, would choose the President
from the two top candidates.
Republicans, with some notable ex-
ceptions such as Sen. Robert A. Taft,
think the change would permit them
to break up the Democratic solid
South" Taft predicted the COP would
lose more electoral votes in the mid
west than it could ever pick up in the
south.

Polar Protection

Polar Protection
In these days of the cold war, Alaska
constitutes a strategic umbrella against
aerial attack on this country. Yet, says
Alaskan delegate E. L. Bartlett, there
is a possibility an enemy could easily
take over the territory and aim a
death blow at the United States"
from the airfields there.
ut is enough to make an American
shiver to contemplate what is going
on in Siberia, across the Bering Strait" !"
Bartlett said recently to the oath
Women's Patriotic Conference on Ma
tional Defense in Washington.
The territory does not have ample
military protection, he said, and if its
big airields were captured by an enc
my they could be used for raids against

other means. But all the Truman alter
natives had been exhausted. The naZ
tons coal stocks were at a critical
level-perhaps TIE lowest in history.
National Emergency
At1l:35 Am. Monday, the President
signed an executive order proclaiming
the national health and safety inn
periled If the strike continued. He
acted only after the miners, them
selves, had rejected his appeal to re-
turn to the pits.
Mr.. Truman named a three-man
faet-finding board to study the dispute
and report to him not later than Mon
day. In the past such panels created
under the TIL law have had about 10
days to make their studies. This time
the President allotted just one week
IN which to ferret out causes Of the
bitter, months-old controversy be-
tween John L. Lewis and the mine op-
orators.
The fact finders are David L. Cole,
Paterson, N. j., labor lawyer, chair
man; William w. Writ, Northwestern
University law professor and former
member Of the War Labor Board; and
John 7. Dunlop, Harvard professor, Of
economics and arbitrator.
The Strike Injunction
Once their report is in his hands,
Mr.. Truman must make it public. If
the wallxout is still in progress, Mr..
Truman may-but is not required to-
direct Attorney General McGrath to
seek an 8O-day injunction banning the
strike while mediation attempts are in
progress.
Defiance Of a TIL court injunction in
April 1948 cost Lewis and his United
Mine Workers Union a fine of 81, ,420,-
900 for contempt of court.
Last week Lewis hinted that miners
might 60 on a showdown if forced
back 70 work by the courts.
Tt is questionable" he said in typi-
cally sonorous prose, whether one
could postulate that such mass coer-
'cion would ensure enthusiastic service
from grateful men,"
This time Lewis is asking that royal
ties for the union welfare fund be in
creased from 90 to IS cents per ton
and that the basic pay be raised from
sl4.05 to SIS day.

for ants.
'By the grace of God, it stands to-
day. Exactly why, no man can saw
