APPROPRIATIONS:
Stueeers Imagination

The house sent to the senate two
appropriation bills that staggered
the average Americans magma
ton and caused many to ask:
where's the money coming from?"
One was an emergency bill of
$16,771 ,383,379 to help rearm this
country and its allies, passed by a
roll call vote of $40 to l, and the
other, a general appropriation bill
of S35, 554 400, 425.
The senate approved the general
appropriation bill the following day
and sent it to President Truman for
his signature.
The emergency bill included the
big appropriation to purchase 1888
warplanes and boosts to more than
$50 billion the military outlays set
up for this year.
AS an idea how the money will
be spent, the bill included $3.50 mil
lion for work on the hydrogen bomb
and the atom bomb, 1898, 637 $40 to
stockpile strategic materials, 81
535, 100000 for the air force, S2.648, :
029,0OO for the navy and $685.
$4,000 for the army.
In addition, there was $685.
$50 to strengthen the state depart
ment's "Voice of America" pro-
gram.
The general appropriations bill
carried proposed $62, 5000 loan
to Spain. 1t was approved by
standing vote of 1865 to 80. No ad-
ministration leaders spoke against
the measure, which was surprising
Since President Truman and the
state department had strongly op-
posed it and it had never been ap-
proved by the congressional COM
mittees having charge of foreign
policy.
Representative Smith of West
Virginia made bitter attack
against the Spanish loan, pointing
out that eve have here an almost
ridiculous situation where an at
tempt is being made to write for
eign policy in an appropriation bill
on the floor" of the house.

POLITICS.:
What's The Issue?

An unusual, almost unique, stu
alton has developed on the Ameri-
can political scene. In the midst of
war, with the highest number of
employed in several years, with
prosperity at new peak, congress
must adjourn soon so many Of its
members can campaign for reelec-
ton. But the question is: What
will be the issues?
Four months ago there were
number of issues. Among them
were such questions as reduced
spending, slashing or increasing
armed forces, and communism
with the government. Many of those
campaign issues have been cast
aside and others must be found to
take their place. Criticism Of the
conduct of the war seems the most
likely.
The senators and representative
are faced with another question.
Should they 60 home to campaign
now, or wait until the international
picture has cleared and the Korean
war has reached a definite phase?
They will be criticized whatever
they do.
The political picture is further
confused for a smashing pre-elec-
ton victory in Korea could give the
Democrats immediate needed sup
port and would knock the Repub-
leans campaign Of criticism of the
wars conduct into the ash can.
It Is one of the most unusual stu
atoms ever to face congress.

RAILROADS.:
Strike Called OF

An unexpected strike threat, in
volving l3l major railroads and an
estimated 100000 rail workers,
was called off by the unions after
President Truman issued an execu-
tive order for federal seizure of the
railroads.
Acting quickly to prevent a ma
tional emergency, the President
ordered Secretary of the Army
Frank Pace to take over the rail
lines and operate them Gin the
name of the United States govern
ment."
Within an hour the unions issued
a statement: 1.-THE men we repre-
sent will work for the government
gladly under government operation
of the railroads during this period
of crisis until this dispute can be
settled on its merits through media
tion."
For the past 10 months rail un-
ions and management have been
deadlocked in wage and hour dis
pute. The unions have demanded a
40-hour week and 31-cent-an hour
wage boost for yard workers to
keep their take-home pay the same
as it has been for the present 49,
hour week.
Observers pointed out it was the
fifth time in 80 years that the gov
eminent has stepped in to take con-
troll OF the nations rail system. And
most members of congress gave
quick approval of the Presidents
order.
The unions considered the gov
eminent seizure of the roads a VIC
tory for their side, but any jubila-
ton was quickly dampened with
the announcement by White House
press secretary Charles G. Ross
that 1.-THE government doesn't in
tend to conduct negotiations with
the union" Such negotiations will
continue between unions and rail
roads with a federal mediator avail
able "if needed"

MACARTHUR:
Truman Applies Cog

The now famous note of Gen.
Douglas Macarthur to the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars, which Presi-
dent Truman personally ordered
Withdrawn, gave the people of the
us. the almost unparalleled spec
tacle of President telling an
American general to mind his own
business and leave foreign policy
to the White House.
In his note General Macarthur
declared Formosa is vital to
Americas far east defenses and
must remain in non-Communist
hands. He went so far as to say
that many did not understand "the
pattern of oriental psychology to
respect and follow aggressive, res
olute, and dynamic leadership"
To pursue any other course than
holding our Pacific positions would
expose our friends in the orient
"to the lustful thrusts of those who
stand for slavery against liberty,
for atheism as against God" The
generals idea is that Formosa
should be included in our Pacific
positions.
In personally ordering the note
withdrawn, the President set forth
the official American policy-the
United States has no designs on
Formosa, we are guarding it to
keep the war from spreading, and
its future as former Japanese ter
ritory is subject for international
settlement.
Republicans, however, quickly
made political meat of the note
and put it into the congressional
record. Observers also were of the
opinion Communist nations would
use it as propaganda expounding
us. 'imperialistic' designs upon
Asia.
1t is an unfortunate breach be-
tween the military and high civil
ian levels. Nothing like it has been
spotlighted on the American scene
since Lincoln's troubles with his
generals and cabinet members.

KOREA:
British Troops Arrive

Crack British troops-1,50 strong
landed in Korea as U. N. forces
continued to battle an increased
Communist offensive from the
north in the area of Pohang.
The British reinforcements were
from Hong Kong and had been
in training for mountain fighting
for 16 months. They will operate
under the command of 1t. Gen.
Walton H. Walker, commander of
U.N. ground forces in Korea.
Meanwhile, bitter fighting on the
east coast continued, in what mil
itary observers reported as
move by the invaders to cut in
behind the vital communication
center of Taegu. Frontal assaults
on U.N. positions in that area re-
peatedly failed in recent weeks.
The Reds were reported using
10000 troops along the jagged
northern front, slipping strong pa
trolls through the mountains to with
in 10 miles of Taegu.
In the air, United States planes
continued to pound Red supply and
manufacturing centers and give
close support to ground forces.
The us. air force had flown
20,500 sorties since the beginning
Of the war and was credited with
severely Gripping the enemy. Con-
firmed destruction of Ill Red tanks
was among the results listed, with
no evaluated estimates on the num-
Der knocked out in more than 900
attacks on tanks, armored cars
and hah-tractor vehicles.

as method of providing a direct
popular vote, in lieu of the cleo
toral college method, and it has
also been claimed that under it a
President could not be elected un-
less he has at least plurality of
the popular vote. AS a matter of
fact, neither of these claims is cor
rect. Under present conditions with
the even division between the par
ties in the north, President is
very likely to be elected under the
Lodge proposal when his opponent
gets a majority of the popular
vote.
The faIIacy in the plan is that
1t gives a tremendous advan-
tage to One-party states, and
particularly to the IL southern
states, in which there S an over
whelming Democratic majority.
Thus, if the Republicans carried
Ohio by 125,000 votes, which
would be a fairly good majority,
the Is electoral votes of Ohio
would be divided 13 to the Repub-
licans and IL to the Democrats.
On the other hand, in Georgia,
which has less than half the popu-
lation of Ohio and II electoral
votes, the probability is that the
Democrats would get about nine
and the Republicans three. Thus,
Georgia would give the Demo-
Gratis six net votes in the calcula-
ton against one for the Republi-
cans in Ohio.
THE application of the Lodge
amendment to past elections
proves this point. Bryan would |

Keep Matches Out
Of ChiIds Reach

A cookie jar =. box of matches
/. five-year-old boy left in
charge of three smaller children
while the mother went on an er-
rand-these were the ingredients
of a recent tragedy in one of our
large mid-western cities.
The matches were beside the
cookie jar when the five-year-old
decided to have a cookie. He took
the matches and began lighting
them in another room, where a
baby sister lay in her crib. One
of the matches fell on the baby's
blanket, and she was burned to
death before the neighbors could
rescue her.
This tragic case should serve
as a warning to all mothers, The
Cleveland Fire Department says.
Don't leave small children alone in
the house, and above all KEEP
MATCHES WELL OUT OF
THEIR REACH!
