advantage of the defenseess position of the other countries.
 The temporary cessation of fighting in Korea or the conclusion of peace treaty in respect to that conflict should not blind Americans to the necessity of continuing our program to increase the armed services. This initiated, as almost everybody recalls by the world situation that existed before the Korean fighting began.
 The reason for increased armed forces continues whether there is peace in Korea not. It stems from the armed might of Russia the autocratc con- trol of that country by a few men and the possi- bilty that they are ready to launch military moves to gain national objectves.
 The armed services now limited to 3,5OO0o0 mem- bers want 100000 men. In addition, there is a laree-scae expansion of the Air Force under con- sideration Ships, planes, guns, weapons and the other paraphernalia of battle are being built i'll increasing numbers While the nation not prepar- ing for immediate warfare. no one can deny that it preparing to defend itself in the event that sudden war occurs Moreover it has accepted the principle that the defense the United States and it's inst- tutions includes participation in the defense of free nations in Western Europe.
 While the facts recited abundantly justify the military program underway and the demands that it makes upon our youth and our money we should not lose sight of the dangers that arise in any country when military segment of the popu- latioD becomes considerable group.
 The objection of many Americans to conscrp- ton has been based upon the belief that 1t develops mitarism This danger be averted more easily we recognize that it exists. Consequently, constant efforts must be made to keep the military subJect to the civilian officials of the country. There must be no glorificaton of war and the creation Of an officer-caste must be avoided.
 Even so until the world gets on an even keel with peace more likely than war, there IS nothing for us to do as a nation but to be strong and ready to fight Every effort should be made to avoid any overt act which might produce major conflict put TO risk should be taken with the security and safety of this country or the liberties of our people.
 The preparedness program with it's economic burden and it's interference in the civil life ot our youn. people, will remain a constant policy untli Communist Russia has advantage in the way oi military strength and, consequently, is without the temptaton to use it's armed power against other nations in an attempt control the destines CT all the peoples of the earth.

All but six were corporations, including such out-of- state corporations as Quaker Oats, McGraw-Hill Publishing Company and Standard Oil of Indiana.

LAX OHIO OFFICIALS

However, the report blasts the flax attitude on the part of State officials" as contributing to an "at- titude of carelessness on the part of political committees in comply ing with the law"
 Specifically, the investigators re- port scorches Ohio Secretary of State Ted Brown.
 Secretary of State Ted Brown informed our staff that he did not consider it his duty to search out violations of the law" blisters the report "The function of his office in his opinion, was merely to serve as custodian of the reports actu- ally made
 The report then quotes the Ohio law that requires the Secretary oi State to report promptly" any law violations to the Attorney Genera who shall forthwith institute sucf civil or criminal proceedings a: may be appropriate"
 The secret report also warn! sharply that an election trick uset in the Ohio campaign promises tt play an important role in the l95. general election campaign"
 This device" say the Senate in vestigators, was the use of psuedo political advertising which created atmosphere favorable to one of tn candidates. The principal example in Ohio were the large display ad vertisements and the short reader advertisements of the Timken Roi Ter Bearing Company, and the ire enterprise series sponsored by tn publishers of the Columbus Dis patch and appearing in l3 leadinl Ohio newspapers.

CYRUS EATON's SECRET GIFT

Deceptive" contributions were al- so uncovered from Cyrus Eaton, head of Otis aud Company. to the United Mine Workers non-partisan league.
 Our investigators have uncov- cred evidence that Cyrus Eaton Sr., of Cleveland contributed S5,000 di- rectly and at least Sl2,500 indirect ly to labors partisan league United Mine Workers of America" the secret report charges. The in direct method MT. Eaton used was to deposit $5,0O0 in the bank &C., counts of his son, Cyrus Eaton Jr, and a total of $7,500 in the bank accounts of two employees of Otis and Company, John A. Kruse (S5,- 000) and Dorothy Workal ($2,500) :. Cyrus Eaton Jr., and the two em- ployees then gave their checks to labor's non-p partisan league.
 "The report filed by labor's non- partisan league in Columbus shows that five other employees of Otis and Company contributed total of $17,500," adds the report. Tt is 1 therefore possible that Cyrus Eaton Sr., was responsible directly and indirectly for a total contribution of $35,000.
 Cyrus Eaton's concealment ere ates a deceptive statement and therefore is, in our opinion, viola tion of tthe Ohio election) law, concludes the report
 Note Tt was only two decades ago that Senator Ware of Pennsyl- vania, Republican, was barred from the Senate because he spent ap- proximately $200,0O0 in the Repub- lican primary against George Whar- ton Pepper. Sen. Frank Smith of III. inois was also barred from the Senate because he spent approXi- mately $100,000, while Senator New. berry of Michigan was so severely criticized by Senate colleagues fol campaign expenditures that wher move was started to unseat him he resigned.
 In those days, public opinion wa alert and virile. Today, one reason for violation of the corrupt practic es and graft in public office appear to be the blase reaction of publi, opinion.
 Note 2-The Senate investigator also lectured the CIO for staginl anti-Taft rallies and using an ef figy of Taft as the target in base ball game.

Jesus. long. long ago. It is all wrapped
up in the deep meaning of phrase
coined by great New England preacher,
the "expulsiye power of new affection"
It is the power Of the new that keeps
the old from re-entering.
How relevant this principle of houses
for rent is with regard to its bearing on
our increasing hours of leisure! Ma
chinery now offers us a hundred me-
chanical slaves to wait upon each of
us. Time -their-hands is coming to
all classes, but the pertinent question is:
What are we going to put into the leisure
time thus created as we get rid of the
old drudgeries? If the answer is, soften
ing ease, complacent drifting with the
current or a wild debauch of pleasure
seeking, we may find ourselves worse off
by far than we were before. An unin-
telligent use of increased leisure, given
to millions Of our people, may mean the
degeneracy and decay of the Nation.
In view of the fearful things happen
ing in this violent world today we cannot
think Of the evil spirits which once were
hurled out of the House of Nations in
the First and Second World Wars. But
the glaring sin of omission has been

And All Is Well

Despite the objections of the Baltimore City
Council, some 1000 students of that community's
City College have listened to a speech by Owen
baltimore, and seem to be none the worse for
the experience.
The council had called upon the Baltimore
School Board to ban the speech, which the board
to its credit, unanimously refused to do It's only
concession was to excuse students from at
tendance who did not want to hear the talk
The result, needless to say, was capacity
audience AS one student said, "Everybody's
going because it's like being banned in Boston"
So Mr.. baltimore, who has been one of Senator
McCarthy's pet targets, made his speech If
there was any Communist propaganda in the
talk, it escapes detection. The students had a
good time. They gave Mr.. baltimore an ovation
after his talk, and, prior to the meeting, they
chased away three left-wingers who were dis
tributing some kind of peace conference PAM
phlets.
And thus ends another silly episode No
harm has been done to the students or to the
City of Baltimore The only thing that has
suffered is the reputation of the City Council
for ordinary common sense.

Foreign Secretary. That is why they have found
him formidable man to deal with not merely
in international conferences, but on the British
home front as well, where he has played key
role in combating communism. In that sense
1t may truly be said Of him that he has been
good and faithful servant whose contribution
has extended far beyond the limits of his own
country to all the lands now working together
for collective security and the establishment
Of a decent international society.
Happily although the two have been bitter
rivals in the Labor Partys intramural politick-
ing, the new Foreign Secretary-63 -year-old
Herbert Morrison-is essentially one with Mr..
Bevin in recognizing the Soviet threat and the
things that must be done to counter it. They
differ in personality, Of course, but not in back
ground or ability. Judging from London reports,
Mr.. Morrison-despite having had little expert
ence in world affairs-can be counted upon to
do good job filling the shoes of his predecessor.
Much as Mr.. Bevin's departure may please them,
the Russians have no cause for rejoicing.
Britains international policy will be changed
in no basic respect.

these artistic German drinking vessels
is. in short, the latest fad. The cost of
a really fine collection of stems would
reach well into the hundreds of dollars,
but for those who are content with
few pieces representing the less ex-
pensive ware the value may be gagged
in other ways than by mere money

the stems because of their intrinsic
