Going Back TO Europe.
It was our idea to spend our
vacation seeing various parts Of
this country this su ener. We
wanted to see bears tcrn over
garbage cans in Yellowstone Park,
check on the faithfulness Of Old
Faithful. dynamite a few fish in
IMichigan's crystal waters, and eat
ourselves a mess Of salt water
taffy at Atlantic City.
But we're going back to Europe,
simply because every resort hotel
we wrote to offered us nothing
but the American Plan.
The American Plan is vicious
thing. You get your food much
cheaper on the American Plan.
and that is very tempting when
your vacation budget is always

BY using the American Plan you
can usually save enough to buy

a vacationist must bring home to
show where he has been.

American Plan makes of a vaca-

for the Baruch plan. the oppor-

Russia would agree to practical

No Integration by FDR.
Under Roosevelt there was no

was made. in various areas, by
whoever caught the President
ear. Throughout the war, and
during the early postwar period
it involved intimate collaboration
with Russia and Communists
everywhere. Under President
Truman this policy was reversed
in Europe; but never. to this
moment, in the Far East, except
in Japan. The architects of the
China policy advocated "nationa
revolution" in Asia, spearheadec
by Communists. Everywhere We
brought pressure against Britain
the Netherlands, France, for hasty
solutions of the colonial ques.

cept in Japan.
Thus, in Asia, we pursued 6
revolutionary policy; in Europe {
conservative one. In Asia we op'
posed the West. in Europe we op'
pose the Soviets.
3. In Germany our policy
largely influenced by Henry Nor
genthau, jr.. has never been dras'
tically revised. We continue t.

On the Other Hand
Floridians Deprive the Senate
Of a Man Who Will Be Missed

MIR. Pepper has been. and Is a
true friend Of the Negro. While
he would not go as far or as rapidly
as some Northerners toward es-
tablishing the Negroes full equality
before the law. he was always in
the forefront of those in the South
moving toward that end. Yet the
nature of the campaign forced
him into position of seeming to
deny the full measure of his
friendship. The cry of "Nigger
lover" still has its potency in the
South and the people out to get
Senator Pepper raised the cry to
its full shrill power. Whether he
would have Jared better had he
met this accusation" head on,
cannot be said. but as it was, he
failed to obtain the overwhelming
majority Of the Negro votes that
has been his in the past.
True Enemy Of Reds.
Senator Pepper has been and
is a true enemy of communism.
Yet, believing as do so many
others that some means of achiev-
ing workable peace with Rus
sia must be found as an alterna-
tive to another world-shattering
war. he found himself forced on
the defensive, charged with being
a Communist or Communist SYM
pathizer himself. This in a day.
when merely to be accused is al
most tantamount to conviction.
For the rest of the issues, Mr..
Pepper stood by his guns. He car
ried the Fair Deal platform to the
voters. Federal health insurance.
Taft Hartley repeal and all. This,
to be sure, did not affect the ma
tional administrations DISPOSE
ton to stay out of the fight. not
withstanding that Mr.. Peppers
opponent repudiated some of the
platform planks dearest to the
Presidents heart. The Senator.
who with all his Shrewdness and
political experience is sometimes
quite naive, unquestionably was
naive If he expected the President
to forget what happened at Phila-
delphia. when Mr.. Pepper allowed
himself, for one day, to be con-
sidered an opposition candidate.
So Senator Pepper Is going. In
many respects this is a real loss
to the Senate and the country.
But he is only so years old. Maybe
some day he will come back.

IlXeS upon tne SWORD by which
he was struck down and they
find it two-edged.
More tolerable to most South
erners is the edge which hacked
at Senator Peppers economic
views. The Senator is far to
the left of his region, even far
left in the Fair Deal spectrum.
But the other edge of Mr.. Sma-
thers' sword cut into civilized
attitudes toward social change
and intellectual freedom which
all Senators prefer to maintain.

Senate May Call
Calendar to Act
On Walter Bill

WASHINGTON. D. c., April Il
(ADC)-With the Senate in recess
until Monday, there was speculation
here today the Senate may call the
calendar sometime next week, ac-
cording to the JACL Anti-Discrimi-
nation Committee.
On recovering, the Senate Is
scheduled to take up the River, Har-
Dor and Flood Control bill. A calen-
dar call probably depends upon how
soon action on this measure is COM
pleted, Mike Masaoka, national
JACL ADO legislative director, said
Informed observers expected the
bill TO be voted on sometime yester-
day Tuesday, depending on whe-
Their a controversy over reclamation
projects called for in the bill.
Should action on flood control be
completed early in the week, the
calendar call then is expected to
come either Immediately afterwards,
or following Senate conference on
Basing Point legislation, otherwise
slated to follow flood control.
Masaoka said every effort is be-
ing made to encourage unanimous
approval of the Walter Resolution
on the next calendar call. This will
mark the resolutions third appear
ance before the Senate.
1--WE are ready to agree to minor,
technical amendments if that will
assure favorable action" he said.
But of course we will not compro-
mise the basic Issue of removing
race as a barrier to naturalization"
Masaoka referred to the recent
statement by Sen. Richard B. Rus
sell Cd, Ca. lone objector to the
Walter Resolution, that he might
propose an amendment to insure
that treaty visitors" do not become
qualified for naturalization if the
Resolution passes.
Masaoka said the basic liberality
of Congress on immigration and nat
uralization was exhibited by action
on DIP legislation. hope this atti-
tude will prevail when the Walter
Resolution comes up on the next
call of the calendar.

B. {. Government
Faces $4,000
Aid Measure

VICTORIA. B. c.. April Il - The
British Columbia provincial govern
ment is faced with a bill of $240. 600
for the care of those Japanese who
are incapable of working because the
japanese people were uprooted from
their homes on the west coast.
When the evacuation took place
in 1912 the Dominion Government
assumed full responsibility for the
welfare of the Japanese, and in so
doing ruled that no Japanese coulo
reside west of line through Hope.
b c.
With the ending of the war and
the majority of japanese Canadians
scattered throughout Canada, of
which most settled in Alberta and
Ontario, only 5000 of the $4,000
japanese remained in British Col
umbia. Many of the remaining 5000
are persons incapable of working
and previous to the war were sup
ported by their relatives.
AT the closing of the war the fed
eral and provincial governments
drew up an agreement whereby both
would share equally the expense of
supporting these INDECENT Japanese.
Acting Health Minister E. T. Ken
ney explained that the term of
agreement expired this year and
the provincial government must
shoulder the full expense. In the
past few years, the provincial gov
eminent had been paying approx
mately $125 900, but this year the
bill totalled nearly doubled with
$4,000.
Most of these INDECENT japanese
are housed at present in New Den

SAYS COMET HEADS FROZEN

Cambridge, Mass. --(AP)-Dr.
Fred Whipple, Harvard Observa
tory, has a new theory of the
stuff that forms the heads of
comets. This is a combination of
various ices and of meteoric par
ticles. The ices are frozen water,
dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide)
and an unusual dry ice which is
poisonous carbon monoxide, froz
en- methane or marsh gas, am
monia and syanogen. Frozen me-
thane and ammonia are part Of
the surface of the planet Jupiter.
The metoric PARTICLES would be
stones and bits of nickel-iron. Dr.
Whipple thinks that the ices melt
when the comet gets close to the
sun. They freeze again when far
away.
