YOU JUST NEVER KNOW

When the Federal Government is spending great sums of money to inculcate democracy in Japan, and when many devoted Americans are conscientiously serving Japan missionaries of political democracy one might suppose any City Council in the United States would cooperate And almost any Council would But not the Council of Boston,, For Boston is quite often different-especialy when the oppor tlnity arises to ban something that other cities accept.
 The latest proof that Boston is out Of step with the nation was given when it's Council voted, by a slight majority, to exclude delegation from the Japanees Det-a delegation touring the United States to learn more about the democratic process. The visitors Japanese. Certain other Japanese were responsible for Pearl Harbor Therefore, in the req sonng" of Bostons elder statesmen they should not be allowed to watch the proceedings of the Boston Council.
 Perhaps it is just well that the visitors were rudey treated in city For the fact IS that democracy is imperfect process. There are times when majority is stupid There are times when legislative bodies act hastily the basis of prejudice and fanatcism, and act quite against the dictates of good sense. Since those things occasionally happen in democratic America it is doubtless wholesome Tor our Japanese visitors to for themselves one example of democratic sef-government when it is fmctioning imperfecty.

IN FOND RECOLLECTION

We've been reading the results of the Associated Presss poll the sports greats of the last half cen tury, and we've been struck by thing Every win ner, with single exception, has been topnotcher from around the 20's. The exception in basket ball. where George Nikan got the nod Hank Luisetti the only really close vote of the poll But then basketball didn't come up with any great national heroes the 2Os All the other sports did and it's they who have been tapped for first places Babe Ruth in baseball Bobby Jones in golf Big Bill Tden in tennis, Johnny Weismuller in swimming.
 And all of a sudden we have theory: It isn't their calculated judgments that the sports writers have been voting; it's their fond recoectons of boy hood heroes Everyone his rosy recollections of the past Everyone thinks that the athletes he wor shipped when he in his teens were the greatest ever to come down the pike
 Maybe Byron Nelson could whip Bobby Jones 3 up on the best day Jones had. Maybe Jake Kramer could have taken Bill Tilden in straight sets No one really who particularly when recollection insists it could never possibly be?
 One thing though, ought to be kept straight:

UNIVERSAL PANHANDLING

While we are being involved more and more in responsibilities beyond our capacity, it might be import ant to note that universal pan handling is being recognized as a human right" The assumption is that the doctrine of the great est good for the greatest number requires that 150,000,000 Americans must carry on their backs all the weak, backward, idle, lazy, incom- potent, wilful peoples of the earth to the number of more than 2,000,- O00,O00
 Secretary of State Dean Acheson and ECA Administrator Paul Hoff- man have already warned us that although the Marshall Plan ends in 1852, this country is to continue thereafter to provide some more of the same to those Europeans who are becoming accustomed to panhandling and like it. The theory is that we are to continue to brlbe them against Communism, Senator Brien McMahon of Connecticut ap- parently believing that bribery be- ing so excellent a device, we ought to use it on the Russians.
 In fact, Dean Acheson seems to feel that what we should do is to wreck American industries by en- couraging European and Asiatic dumping of their goods in this country, the American sufferer re- ceiving compensation for his losses from his Government, which means from the American taxpayer.

IBL00D-TYpING PROGRAM IS PLANNED FOR CORONA

Plans for blood-typing program which will furnish Cordova with virtual walking blood bank were under way this week, sponsored by the Cordova Health and Welfare Council.
 During the blood bank drive, all Cordova residents will be offered the opportunity of having free blood test. The samples are to be shipped to the Alaska Department of Health laboratory at Anchorage for analysis and cards showing the blood type and Rh factor will be mailed to each donor, according to information about the drive re- ceived here today.

 Hts an unpleasant but Mestep able fact that civilian defense pre- rarations for dealing with any sur prise attack on the United States are being speeded up in important talks inside the Pentagon Build ing
 The old days of afraid wardens, sand buckets and tin hats are now over, and the new civilian defense against atomic war will concentrate chiefly on diversification of indus try, blood plasma, and underground garages.
 Medical experiments, as result of the Hiroshima bombing, have shown that whole blood and plasma are the only effective treatment fo1 radioactivity Thus, large blooc banks must be built up.
 Also under consideration are un- derground garages in all major cities It is believed that these not only can help to solve downtown traffic problems, but serve as air raid shelters in case of emergency The program now under considera- ton may be so great that federal funds will be awarded to states ol cities.
 Military planners have also beer considering the whole field of war plant dispersal. In general it's be- lieved that it would be too eXpen- sive to uproot certain major in dustries, such as the auto industry in Detroit. Instead, military plan. ners propose to duplicate facilitie! built on a standby basis.
 The civilian defense program may lead to enormous expansion of industrial capacity and the relo. cation of some parts of the popu' lation, but there will be no drastic changes overnight.

LeWis's Tragic Climax

John L. Lewis, at the age of TO, has reached the most tragic climax of his long career.
 His tragedy lies in that he has done more for one great segment Of labor than any other individual in history, yet the more he has done for the miners, the less de- mand he has created for their pro- duct. As a result other fuels today have become almost as important as coal
 Another tragedy is that, in wag- ing his battle, John L and his bushy eyebrows, his stentorian statements and his bulldozing man. ner have become such symbol of dislike to the American public that

The doctrine of ranhandling has been incorporated into document entitled, universal declaration of human rights" prepared by the United Nations under the Aegis of Eleanor Roosevelt. Should this de- claration be ratified by the govern ment of the United States, it would I be the law of our land.
 Also, it would place upon this country obligations and responsible ities beyond our capacity. The fin ancing of some of these obligations would bleed us white and should anyone try to enforce these rules and regulations, we should be in permanent war
 Of course, the United Nations is only declaring. This is a proclaim ation of intentions, "a common standard of achievement. :" To 1 be kept constantly in mind" There, ] is not much harm in keeping this in mind, so long as it does not cost us money and send our sons all over the world enforcing these rights.
 Take, for instance, Article 25: "d) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of him. self and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medi- cal care and necessary social ser vices, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sick ness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in CIT cumstances beyond his control" Now that promises a great deal more than all the expenditures since the end of World War II have achieved The British still have to go easy on eggs, and in this country, as a result of last years | prohibitive. On the basis of this | guarantee, every Englishman is en- | titled to two eggs for breakfast, whether they exist or not, and want my lamb chops, blizzard or no blizzard. What right has a hliz- gard to interfere with the inten- | tions of the United Nations?
 And look at Paragraph of Art icle 25 of this declaration of good | intentions:
 "(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and
 assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection"
 Is this an encouragement to all , the young ladies of the world to have babies out of wedlock? By
 social protection" is meant sub sidies, state care, all that sort of
 thing. The United Nations ap-
 parently wants provision made in all countries for comfortable illeg-
 itimacy When Hitler encouraged his storm troopers to increase popu- lation by the same method, public
 opinion was mortified at the re-
 duction of the family to the mech
 anics of biology.
 The defenders of the United Ma tions and of the progenitor Of this
 declaration, Eleanor Roosevelt, will say that Hitler's proposal was based on bad intentions, but UN's is based
 on good intentions. That kind of reasoning has led us astray before: It is like making the distinction between good and bad dictators
 Intentions, can know nothing about: They are in the conscience of those who intend. But encourage ment to bastardy is a renunciation of the family as the elemental unit i of social system. It is destructive of the moral restraints which, while often irksome, alone preserve civili- zation.

there is little sympathy for the miners he represents. And they deserve sympathy.
 Finally, John L., aged, lonely and at the reak of his career, appears to have lost control of his miners for the first time. He had partly lost control during the three-day ! week, which many of them blam- Iedh oN him, misunderstanding that the demand for coal had lessened Now they are sore at the operat- ors and Taft-Hartley, and the gov- ernment which has invoked the I'll Act.

Sick Industry

The truth is that the coal in dustry is sick And Lewis, by his work stoppages to win wage in creaSes, has made it sicker. Every strike he called, every wage boost he won increased the demand for oil and natural gas, until today only 26 percent of the nations passenger trains burn coal, as against 68 percent two years ago. Today, also, so many factories, el- sctric power plants and homes are turning to oil that it is doubt ful the mines will ever need to work much more than three days a week except in case of emergen- cies.
 That is why President Truman, if he really wanted to solve the coal crisis, could have appointed not a Sact-finding board for wages but a fuel commission.
 What the nation needs to know IS WilcJllcl CEIId QllYi OIltSViNS mines should not be closed down with other mines operating full time; whether some miners should not move to other jobs, allowing other mines to work full time. In brief, what the very sick coal in- dustry needs is not prolonged bick- Ing, but overall planning. Dewey Dictum J. Russel Sprague, Shrewd pol tical adviser to Tom Dewey, had a meeting with COP leaders i'll and around New York City the other day. He, Sprague, laid down orders that the party leaders must:
 Pledge their support for Dew ey's renomination, if Dewey decides to run, and
 Eff Dewey decides to step out, they must support his choice for the nomination.
 COP leaders went along on the first request, but refused to swallow number two.
