ate, which passed the measure
once before. President Truman
vetoed it, and it has been pre-
Sumed he would do so again.
Recently a new and sound
solution has been offered, spon-
sored in the Senate by Senator
Lister Hill. Democrat, of Ala
bama and 10 other Senators.
This is to turn royalties from
lease of submerged oil lands into
the Federal Treasury, beyond
3712 per cent to the States
where it is found, to be used for
public education for the whole
Nation. This proposal, when
offered in the House by Repre-
sentative Mansfield, Democrat,
OF Alabama, was shouted down
by voice vote. It is to be pressed
vigorously in the Senate.
It would be fine if that body
would pass it but, If not, it gives
the President an alternative to
indorse strongly when, and if,
he vetoes the State control
measure. Tt is not radical or
revolutionary. Over 100 years
ago John Quincy Adams, a mem
ber Of the House after he retired
from the Presidency, and no
radical. proposed that revenues
from all public lands be used
for education. In the Lincoln
administration Republican
Congress went part way in the
Morrill, Act providing for land
grant colleges.
This is q good time to catch
up some more with John Quincy
Adams.

The move to make Ralph
Bunche, noted Negro diplomat
now serving with the United
Nations, the next United States
Ambassador to Russia is still
creation of the politicians. They
have interested the Truman
staff, however. and have assur-
anceS that the President will
consider it.
1t is not the first suggestion
that this country should make
more spectacular use of Mr..
Bunche's recognized talents in
the battle against Communism.
When Averell Hartman. who is
now mediating the Iran oil dis
pute for the President, retired
as Ambassador to Moscow, he
proposed Mr.. Bunche as his sue
cesSor.
Since then increasing use of
the color issue in Asia against
the Western world, especially
since China fell to the Reds,
has seemed to many to offer a
powerful reason for moving Mr..
Bunche to the front lines. Sen
ator Moody. Michigan Demo-
crat. the latest politico to push
the idea. insists that in Moscow.
Ambassador Bunche would be a
living refutation to Communist
racial propaganda against the
United States"
The State Department is
wary. It's conscience is clear
about Mr.. Bunche. Secretary
Acheson offered him the high
post of Assistant Secretary of
State in charge of Near East

Thomas L. Stokes:

Sometimes it is helpful, in
trying to find the meaning of
events today, to go back for pos
sible clues to past events.
There is, for example, a bit
Of interesting history, somewhat
circumstantial it is true, which
may throw some light on the
bill passed again this week by
the House to turn pack to the
States submerged coastal lands
within their bounds. If this
measure should finally become
law it would, as we know, set
aside Supreme Court decisions
proclaiming the paramount in
terest of the Federal Govern
ment in such lands as part of
the recognized public domain
belonging to all of the people.
Oil, of course, is the story
here, in particular the Iich oil
deposits in submerged lands of
three States-Texas. Louisiana
and California-eStimated to be
worth some $40 billion. The
coastal oil potential is large,
with prospecting now going on
in waters of other States.
Like submerged coastal lands,
politics often carries q rich
mixture Of oil. Oil is broad
minded. 1t is not choosy be-
tween political parties. 1t is
cozy with both our major par
ties, contributes to the cam
paign funds Of each and, for
this, expects dividends.
Let's go back a few years,
back to 1916, back to a senate
rial inquiry into the nomination
by President Truman of Edwin
A. Pauley. California oil man,
to be Secretary of the Navy-an
inquiry prompted by a series of
articles by able and energetic
Edward A. Harris of the st.
Louis Post = Dispatch bureau
here for which he won a Pu-
liter Prize.
Mr.. Pauley, former treasurer
Of the Democratic National
Committee. had a substantial
interest in submerged oil lands.
At the time of this inquiry the
Justice Departments suit to
confirm Federal title to such
lands was pending in the ST.
preme Court. Already, in antic-
ipation of the Supreme Court
decision, the House had passed
q bill for State control to beat
the court to the draw. 4

"One reason I am sure they
are going to keep on doing their
best is because of your new Sem
ator, Blair Moody. That fellow
is a go-getter, and he bothers
nearly everybody in Washington

Not a word did Mr.. Truman
say about the existence of the
Republican Senator from Mich

one of the most conscientious
public servants in the Senate,
devoted to the interests of his
State.
Now if Mr.. Truman wanted to
pay deserved compliment to
the able Blair Moody-who
comes up for election in q few
months-he has ample oppor-
tunities to do that in the Gus
tomary ways of politics. To in

Bark Cloth.

Bark-cloth. making in Central
Celebes is a primitive art from which
paper-making has developed. 1t is
strong and very durable, needs nc
sewing as the edges are pulped
together. 1t is amazing how bark
cloth is made into coats, jackets
and trousers, which stand hard use
Koelawi women, men and children
arise with the dawn when bark
cloth making must be done.
The principal bark used is that
|of the warigan tree, a species OF
fscus. The girls cut the branches
of the tree in short lengths, which
they tie into neat bundles to carry
on their backs.
In Koelawi, the beating of the
bark with its rhythmic "pung- -pung-
.pung' is heard daily throughout
most of the year from dawn to dusk
The bark is first peeled from the
wood, then peeled again to remove
the outer surface, this is to Sepa-
rate bhe bast, or flbrous layers used
in making the cloth.
Boiling is the next step which
takes considerable time for loosen
ing the fiber so that it resembles a
pulp. This is put in the brook or
stream. the action of the water con-
tinuues to loosen the fiber and wash
away the sap. At the end of four

Usually the pieces of bark-cloth
set aside for dresses are made In
cylindrical form, like a Malay
sarong. Sometimes an instrument is
used to make the face of the cloth
deeply grooved, the ridges are orna-
mental, especially the very fine
ones. Beating appears to be the
keynote to the softness and pliabilt
ity of the finished product.

covering it with black mud: To get
stripes, the cloth is folded SO that

We continue to see the words

worded thus: "I will make him E

In reading the verse aloud from

inclined to accept help" as, Il will
make him an HELP meet for him.
