GOVERNMENT BY TREATY

Ever since our government established under the Constitution, have made own laws without foreign direction interference We have established a code that serves national purpose admirably and while we have at all times shown consideration for the rights of other nations they have not presumed to dictate to our lawmaking bodies. .
 However, we are now faced with new develop ment in aw-makng. Through treaty law" our nor maj legislative processes may be bypassed and our existing law nullified by international agreements ratified as treaties We could thus find ourselves in the unusual position of being governed by laws made not by Congress and territorial legislatures but by United Nations committees and commissions composed of foreigners who might not understand or sympahze with our concept of individual rights and freedom.
 The United States is the only important country in the world where treaty by only part of the legislative process becomes law of the land without mplementation by national legislation Article VI of the Constitution provides that
 " An Treaties F f. shall besthe supreme
 law of the Land i. r any Thing in the oon-s r
 stitution or laws of any State to the Contrary
 notwithstanding" N tFFf
 Under this article, ratified treaty may super scde every city and county ordinance every state constitution every law and feedral statute on the same subject and may under the doctrine of Mis- the United States The effect on State Laws has been specifically decided in the California alien land

Gregory, he would be very partial to MT. Gregory's side of the. picture.p
 Angel identified himself as an at- torney for the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, which has charged Gregory with mismanage- ment of the Long Beach Federal Savings and Loan Association Among other things, Gregory is charged with making utterly lan- tastic" loans to Wilhoit and the Jones Brothers, which has result ed in both the tax investigation and the S3o,o0o,o0o lawsuit.

CAUDLE WAS SUSPICIOUS

Though the tax probe was started in 1946, it was stimulated again last March by Theron Lamar Caudle then Assistant Attorney General in charge of prosecuting tax cases Though Caudle was fired by Pre- sident Truman last week, the fact is that, on March 3, he asked the Internal Revenue Bureau to in- vestigate allegations of influence in the Long Beach tax cases, includ- ing charges that Congressman King of California had exerted political pressure in behalf of Gregory.
 Under whitening cross -examina- tion, Angell admitted that he had helped write a memo sent to the Justice Department which aroused Caudle's suspicion. It was forward ed to the Justice Department by Sen. Lester Hunt, Wyoming Demo- crat.
 There is a paragraph in the memorandum which says that al- most continuously from the time that this dispute arose, Congress man Cecil King and. within the last year, Congressman Holifield, have exerted political pressure to compel the Department of Justice the Home Loan Bank Board and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board Cf San Francisco, to settle pending litigation wherein Long Beach seeks in excess of $30.000.00 dam ages rom the United States" ob- served committee counsel De Wind.

SHOE ON OTHER FOOT

De Winds own line of question ing, however. at times seemed to defend the Long Beach tax cases. Did it occur to you as a lawyer that if taxes are in dispute and litigation may be involved. it often takes years to get it settled, part icularly if the amounts are large?' demanded De Wind. Oddly enough, this is the same reasoning De Wind has received from alibiing tax of ficials for holding up cases-when the shoe is on the other foot.
 T understand these taxes are. 1922 to l946. That is a long time" 1" retorted Angell.e7
 "Yes, but didn't you also know that the investigation of this thing had started in late 1946 or early 1947?" hammered De Wind.
 That is why thought by 1850 they ought to be to the end of it." shot back the San Francisco lawyer,
 Have you had any experience in tax matters involving major tax litigation?" snapped De Wind.
 "No," shrugged Angell.

 No" Angell again agreed.
 So this was just an off-the-cuff action; long time had passed, and that was cause for sufficient con- cern to get some members of Con- gress interested in this matter. That is what it comes down to- snort ed the man who usually takes the opposite side in getting to the bottom of tax delays.

GOOD NIGHT (At Last!)
by Eddie Albert
STAGE AND SCREEN STAR

DEAR N1H. ALBERT: Is it up to the
hosts to let the guests know when it's
time to go home?
ANSWER: No guest should ever have to be
told that the party is over, but some do -
maybe because they haven't thought about
the problem in advance.
An invitation to cocktails at five-thirty
plainly means that the party is due to end
about seven or seven-thrty. WhetheT the
hosts are having dinner at home, or have an
engagement outside, tagging guests not only
make them go hungry, but can be down.
right embarrassing.
A week might invitation as rule means
that the party should break up before or
around midnight, because tomorrow is a
working day. Weekend parties may last
longer, but sticking it out to the wee small
hours is not indicated unless the hosts
specifically say this is going to be ball. }"
Even the weekend guest is wise to
leave fairly early Sunday evening, and
let the hosts get Strengthened up for
the coming week.
Beyond the common-sense rules, I've
found there is what might be called a
psychological means of knowing just the
right moment to say good-by. Every good
party rises to peak of general enjoyment,
and then goes downhill. Try to leave just
after the party has passed its crest.
But what of the guest who doesn't know
when to leave?
Then it's up to the hosts to help out.
Turning off the bar in no uncertain terms,
or yawning and making remarks about hav-

ing to get up early tomorrow are somewhat
rude in themselves and only to be resorted
to in emergency. But, at any mention of
leave-taking, the host can avoid saying.
"Oh, don't 60 yet" This remark, if not sin
cere can be as unfair to the guest as to the
host. And, once the farewells have started,
the host shouldn't launch into new story
that may prolong things indefinitely.
If you really have laggard on your
hands, physical action is one of the simplest
moves. You get to your feet; he gets to his
automatically. You move, ever so gently
but firmly. toward the door, and the chances
are very good that he'll move with you,
saying good-by.
You also have an invaluable aide - par
ticularly when it's a general exodus that's
needed - in your closest friend among the
guests. At a word from you. he can start
an audible leavetaking that will put the
whole party on the road in no time.
As for the guests who drop in unexpect-
edly and threaten to stay for hours when
you have other things planned. | think
simple honesty is the best policy. Say that
you're awfully glad to see them, and wish
you could spend more time with them. but
you're on your way to dine with the Fergu-
sons, or you brought work home from the
Office, or whatever it is You are well within
your rights, and it's far better than just
acting fidgety.

Low ceilings are no problem, either. A

Two of the four runways at Sola are more
than mile and half long and in addition
are extraordinarily wide. During the last
war; when Sola was occupied quickly with
the rest of Norway, the Germans at one point
were able to put down over 300 troop-trans-
port planes in less than two hours, in addition
to using it as a bomber and air-patrol base.
From standpoint of current Allied STRAIT

was made to secure Sola against German occu
patton - Norway simply fell and Sola fell
with it. In the event of another war, things will
