Chinese Monroe Doctrine

Most significant news to come out of Asia recently resulted from a talk between Prime Minister Nehru of Indian and U. $. Ambas- sador Loy Henderson, at which Nehru broke the news of the new Chinese Monroe Doctrine for Asia.
 Nehru reported that. the Indian ambassador in Peiping had cabled that the Chinese Communists were planning to pop a big surprise on the western world in the form of a Monroe Doctrine.
 This would mean that all white and non-Asiatic nations were to keep out. Any interference, ac- cording to the proposed Chinese Monroe Doctrine, would be justifi-

Legal Wire-tapping

Congressmen will give special att tention in January to the U. S.. Circuit Court of Appeals decision overthrowing the Judy Coplon con- viction In this decision, the three judges took the unusual course of recommending legislation to Con- gress-something that judges, in our system of checks and balances, seldom do.
 Pointing out that the FBI had less power to arrest than the or dinary sheriff, the court recom- mended that FBI powers to ar rest be enlarged also that certain phases of wire-tapping be declared legal when it involved espionage, sabotage, kidnapping, extortion and national security"
 J. Edgar Hoover has leaned over backward against any illegal use of wire -tapping-unlike many other government agencies, the Washing ton police and even some Senators. In fact, the protection of civil liberties would be much safer if Hoover's Bureau alone were allowed to handle tapping.
 Congress will consider all this in January.

Alabama S Senators
Rap States Fighters
In Party Unity Plea
BY the Assoeioted Press

The administrations drive to
bring the South back into the
national Democratic party org
anization won support yesterday
of Alabama Senators Hill and
Sparkman.
Along with some House mem
bers of their States delegation,
Senators Hill and Sparkman urged
election in the May 2 Alabama
primary of a State political COM
mittee pledged to put regular
Democratic electors on the ballot
in the 1852 presidential race.
They came out against a States
Right Democratic slate, headed by
present state chairman GesSner r.
McCorvey. who spearheaded a
successful fight for election of
presidential electors pledged to
the States Rights slate in 19A8.
Senator Hill said he thinks
"the interest of Alabama and the
future of her people lie in the
DeInOCTdClc party.
"The power and influence
which the Alabama delegation and
other Southern representatives
hold by virtue of their member
ship and positions in the Demo-
cratic party has made possible
the defeat of FEPC and other So
called civil rights bills" Senator
Hill said.
And yet we are told that Ala
bama should leave the Demo-
cratic Party, give up her power
and influence in the affairs of our
national Government and waste
her strength in splinter party.
This is the issue before the peo-
pie. We accept the challenge"
Sparkman Raps Splinter Group.
Senator Sparkman said he
thinks 1.-The Democratic Party is
big enough to fight out our diff
ferences on the inside"
Observing that he is opposed to
splinter parties" Senator Spark
man said Alabama has done we'll
within the Democratic Party in
the past.
I'VE have had differences among
Democrats he said. 1--WE always
have had and always shall have.
In the past we have worked them
out. We do not have to sacrifice
any of our convictions or tradi-
tions."

Government 10 Train
Atom Safety Experts
BY the Associated Press


The Atomic Energy Commission
yesterday announced a special
training program in Pathological
physics designed to increase the
Nations supply of experts on
atomic safeguards.
The courses will be open to
college graduates with science or
engineering degrees who will be
selected for a years fellowship
paying 81 500. An additional $500
will be paid if the fellow is married
and $3.50 each for two dependents.
The Acc said it expects to grant

ton by the FBI.
Those selected will be assigned
to training centers set up at Van
derbilt University and the Uni
versity of Rochester for the 1850
81 school year. Two months of
field training will precede the uni
versity work.
The Acc said the graduate
studies would cover such things
as radiation monitoring, health
physics, radioisotope measurements
and hospital physics. 1t pointed
out there are expanding employ
ment opportunities for such work
not only in the atomic plants, but
also in schools, hospitals and re-
search laboratories using the re-
dioactive products of the atomic
program.

Red Astronomers Say Cos Tail
$4,000 Miles Long Trails Earth

earth has long been known to
astronomers. But until now, he
asserted, it has been "the theory
of bourgeois, and especially Amer
ican and Swedish, astronomers
that the counter-radiance observed
is caused by an accumulation OF
meteorite particles.
He said the new studies by So
Wet scientists have fully refuted''
this theory.
The tails of comets extend from
the central body outward from
their shady side regardless of
whether they are moving toward
or away from the sun. This is at
tributed to the pressure of the
suns rays on the light gases which
compose the tails.
Fesenkov said the earth's tail
acts in exactly the same way.

Tampa, Fla.
Mr.. Shamhart entered the Gus

work because the service was short

runners.
The first time he tackled a rum
running boat. a crew member at
tackled him with a butcher knife
Mr.. Shamhart disarmed the man
launching a career that carried
him to the top of the Customs
Service.
One of his major investigating
jobs was gathering evidence for
the Governments defense against
$500.000 in damage claims arising
from the celebrated pursuit of the
rum runner, I'm Alone" in
1929.
The Coast Guard Cutter Dexter
chased and sank the vessel 800
miles off the United States coast
in the Gulf of Mexico. Since the
vessel few the Canadian flag, the
incident provoked an international
controversy.
The United States contended it
had the right to follow the ship
in "hot pursuit" on the high seas
since 1t had been smuggling within
territorial waters. Eventually the
Government got Off with a $25, 600
payment to- Canada and a slightly
larger damage payment to the
crew.

ran down the American partici-
pants in the rum running plan.
All were convicted except one who
was murdered while awaiting
trial.

ID. {. Heads 10 Meet
On Budget Appeal 10
Senate Fiscal Group
Chevy Chase Among Graduates

The Commissioners are expected
to confer tomorrow on the recon-
mendat tons they viii make 10 the
Senate Appropriations Subcommit-
tee in charge Of the Districts bud
get for next fiscal year.
AS passed by the House, the rec.
ord $1l2,84e.34o budget is more
than $6 million less than that SUBJ
mitted to Congress by the Com.
missioners and President Truman
II is anticipated the Senate sub
committee will meet soon to con-
slider it.
The House made comparatively
heavy cuts in the funds for high
way construction and sewer prof.
ects. 1t is probable that restora
ton of the 50 million stricken from
the House bill for starting the
proposed East Capitol street bridge
will be sought now that the prof.
ect has congressional approval.
Among other items city officials
may ask to have restored are mis-
cellaneous street and sewer prof.
ects.
$250,000 Deleted.
Deleted from the highway
budget was some $250,0o0 for
minor street improvement prof.
ects. including $4,000 for chan
nelization, work.
Highway officials had hoped to
catch up on some of the street
Improvement projects which they
had been curtailing during con-
struction of major highway
structures in the last few years.
A 81 million decrease was made
in the Sewer Divisions estimates
for capital outlay, including $780,
900 for the Sewage Treatment
Plant and 100000 for various
sewer projects.
The remaining $2,44S, 900 does,
however. include funds to begin
construction of sludge drying and
sewage chlorination facilities al
the plant, as we'll as construction
OF an aeration plant and second
ary sedimentation tanks.
Lessened Pollution Forecast.
This work is expected to result
in a considerable decrease in the
pollution of the Potomac River
and lessen the cost of disposing
OF waste materials.
The cuts would eliminate $400,-
600 expected to be spent on the
Piney Branch Relief Sewer. as
well as $50,000 for other relief
sewers of halt flooding. They
would mean abandonment for the
year of the Piney Branch prof.
ect, a 81 million Job on which
$2.5 million already has been
spent.
The decrease in the sewer esti-
mates also involves $l50,000 for
facilities for new construction.
