DENY YALTA AGREEMENTS
 AIDED REDS
Terms with Russia Did Not Aid Commies Against
 Chiang, Aeheson

WASHINGTON, June ' = tR - Secretary of State Acheson con- tended today there was no connec- ton between the Far Eastern con- sessions made to Russia at Yalta and the defeat of the Chinese Ma tionalists by the Communists.
 Acheson said that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, leader of the Ma tionalists, welcomed the agreements. which gave Russia entry into Man churia through concessions at Port Arthur and Dairen.
 It was Acheson's sixth day of testimony.
 Did Not Aid Reds
 Senator McMahon, a strong ad- ministration supporter, raised the question of whether the Yalta agree ments weakened Chiang's forces. He said his purpose was to dispel any notion that the concessions to Rus sia made it possible for the Chinese Communists to have victory in China"
 McMahon had Acheson read the terms of the Yalta agreement - an understanding reached by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill of Britain, Premier Stalin of Rus sia at a February, 1945. meeting in the Russian town of Yalta.
 Russia agreed there to come into the war against Japan three months after the defeat of Germany and, in return, was given certain Far Eastern concessions.
 Not Military Strategists
 After Acheson had read the terms, McMahon observed that neither he nor the cabinet member was mili- tary strategist, adding:
 "Have you ever heard or have you ever been told of any military connection between the defeat of Chiang Kai-Shek and those conces- sions that were made to the Soviet Union at Yalta?"
 No, Senator McMahon, I think there was none" Acheson replied.
 Acheson has said the United States was anxious at Yalta to get the Russians into the Far Eastern war in time to tie down l.235 900 Japanese troops then in China.
 Tough Question
 Acheson called it "a hard ques- tioni whether Russia could stop the

SEATTLE, June T --tR- They don't have any capable safecrackers around Scow Bay, Alaska.
 So when two Seattle men = Jerry Oaksmith and A. L. Rogers-bought the Scow Bay Packing Co.,. near Petersburg, Alaska. they were pug zled about one of the items that came with the property.
 It was an aged and heavy safe. It was locked.
 So the Seattle men directed that it be shipped aboard the Denali to Seattle, be opened, and contents noted.
 The old safe no sooner had been taken aboard the Denali than tongues began wagging. Maybe it was full of gold Or. more likely, contraband liquor from the prohi- bition era.

The w askington Merry Round
By DREW PEARSON 1881. oy Bell Syndicate. Inc.


 WASHINGTON. - General Mac Arthur's trip to Texas next week is much more than visit to admir- ing friends. Actually, it IS a care fully timed test of political popu- larity to see whether the General s packers should go any further Tn their latent plans to push him for the presidency.
 One of the men behind the Texas trip is Congressman Al DOC" Mil- Ter of Nebraska, the same COP leader who promoted Macarthur for President in 1948. It was part ly on Congressman Miller's urging that Macarthur entered the Wis consin and Nebraska primaries.
 Both primaries proved a disap- pointment, and Macarthur felt that his Republican friends had let him down. Earlier, in Tokyo, the Gen. eral had talked with optimistic yis- iting politicians who predicted that the American people would rise up almost unanimously to draft him. Macarthur had even told Lieut..

product of power, and power has
asserted itself over the passive eras
since the down ofcivilized thought.
We wall over it today as the
"Power to Control", literally a
One-Man's organization supervised
by the dictates of n man. This
menace has always carried on a
tryst with civilized man. Each
page in the novel of generations
found it more subtle in it's effort
to dominate than the preceding
one. 1t nurishes on a growing
wealth of concepts founded on a
perfidious evolutionary advance
ment, which attempts to prove
that biological efforts among
vanished is justified.
Under such a concept, motives
so often encased in our present
day monuments Of diplomacy go
unnoticed, and mutual alliances
based on good will lose import
ance. But there is a law which
says: EDO unto others as you
would have them do unto YOU"
This was the basic law of mans
existance millions of years ago.
1t was the foundation of civiliza-
ton, the very instrument of "Do-
minion over the Earth. We can
not thrust aside this law playfully
and hope to escape the pitfall of
armed conflicts.

distrust of the Western powers is
obvious, and not exactly unjustifi-

of the Western Powers attitude
towards the Asians during the
past century. The Deskman pre-

this with a UN slap on the wrist.
Meanwhile, u. S. delegate to
the UN, Warren Austin, has warn

to take a back seat. Russians have
been calling the U. S. all sorts
of names, but MI. Austin, yester-
day, not only called Russia an
agressor, but took in the Soviet's
shuckbuddy, Red China who, Mr..
Austin said, is a blackmailer.

man as it seems to be to the War
Department. The Deskman thinks

LMATA GLANCE
BY DAVID BETHEA

Can civilization recapture that
momentum that once marked what
was thought to be a tranquil era
of brotherly love or is the whirl
wind of distrust ~encircling all eff
forts to retard any progress to-
wards international unity?
Like a boy swinging on the
branch of an apple tree fearing to
plunge less he fall into the hands
Of his little angry playmates
ready to engage in battle; like a
cat perched on the branch Of a
mulberry tree, watching deceitful
wagging of a dogs tail, civiliza-
ton seems to be swinging hope
lessly on the branch of unscrupul-
GUS internationalism, watching
frightfully for a safe landing,
seeking to avoid the pitfall of a
a third World War in a little more
than thirty years.
Can the basic strain of integrity
regain that principle of fellowship
SO necessary if international order
is to be maintained; and can a
social order endure in a world of
confused nations, each having as
an objective a program of selfish
interest, wholly out of harmony
with the other, smashing as it
were, the very fundamental stan
dard of human idealism? There
can be but one answer; the con-
verting of aggressive expansion

Opponents of the plan to draft
18-year-olds, having failed to con-
vince the President, Defense
Secretary and the public in
general that is is Unnecessary to
call up the flower of
American youth, have won the
support Of Ralph w. Donaldson,
of the National Education Associ-
alton. Brother Donaldson want the
smart young things left free to
attend college, and urges lower
ing of mental and physical stan
dards for acceptance into the
armed forces. In a nutshell, he
fears a lot Of college professors
will lose their jobs and a lot of
young men won't get diplomas.
The Deskman sympathizes with
Brother Donaldson, the 18-year-
Odds and also the professors. The
boys should be given a chance to
acquire a good education, but
from where we sit, by the time
they would be graduating, a good
thorough knowledge of the fine
art of killing to keep from being
killed will be just about as use
full as those frayed copies of Vir-
gil and Plato. And unless the boys
learn how to protect their right to
an education, the professors won't
have any place to teach.

BABSON Discusses Where To Work

where-but few persons are wise enough to take
advantage Of such bargains The time to sell prop
erty is when someone else wants it badly But there
again most people will not sell then. The average
man will not use his brain or else lacks courage
when he buys or sells.
Here is another thought: Buy land by the acre
just outside any good city and later sell it by the
foot But buy it on the right side of that city-that
is, in the direction where the community is grow
ing. Every city-large ard small--is growing best
in some direction where the best houses are
being built.
BETTER FOR SMALL BUSINESSMEN
small city is sure to offer opportunities for
young businessmen. "a small toad is better off in a
small puddle"-he is apt to get drowned in a big
pool, In the same way the small businessman may
get drowned easily in some big city where he may
be forced to pay tribute to racketeers or be bled
BY crime gangs.
In the smaller cities any young man of good
character can join the local Chamber of Commerce
and one Of the Service Clubs and work up &c De a
director thereof. This he cannot do in ooe of tae
above twelve cities. He can buy stock in Z local
bank Of smaller cities and perhaps become director
thereof. His wife can become active in the Womens
Club and the Parent-Teacher Association
HAVE CHURCH AFFTLIATION
/ never feel so lonesome as when / go into big
city Church It is not the fault Of the Church; do
not blame the members for having no interest in
me- The same applies to the Y. M. c. AS of the
biggest cities. But a small city Church always
makes me feel at home.
Certainly no one should attend any Church just
to help himself in business even to get acquant-
ances. Yet we all must have some social life and
it IS best to find friends at a Church rather
than anywhere else. That is where / found the
girl with whom l have lived fifty happy years

is GRAFT IN GOVERNMENT
INEVITABLE?

The cheating scandal at West Point was
simply the latest in a series of shocking de-
velopments within and without the govern
ment. In the Academy case, some of the
accused cadets said that such practices had
been going on for a considerable period Of
time, and that men had been graduated and
commissioned who had been guilty of them.
1t is noteworthy that most of the members
of West Points big-time football team were
involved. West Point has extremely high
academic standards, and large numbers of
cadets who are unable to meet them are
dropped each year. The football players,
apparently, had to devote so much Of their
time and energy to practicing and travelling
that they couldn't properly cope with their
studies. So the system of cribbing was de-
veloped and, it seems, rather widely accept
ed within the corps, despite the fact that it
was a clear and fragrant violation of an
honor code which has existed since the school
was founded during the Monroe admins
tratiOn.
Prior to this, the nation was treated to
the revelations concerning the bribing of key
players IN some leading college basketball
teams by professional gamblers. The players
concerned either deliberately threw games
or saw to it that the winning margin was
restricted to a certain number of points. The
gamblers thus had a sure thing and cleaned
up.
We have recently witnessed the dramatic
Kefauver investigation Of organized gam
bling It brought to light an amazing amount
of state and municipal official corruption.
In instance after instance, police chiefs,
sheriffs and other influential officials work
ed hand in hand with the gamblers and re-
ceived handsome payments for their ser
vices.
At about the same time the Fulbright
committee looked into the moral standards
of certain Federal officers, including men
close to the White House. Apparently moth
ing actually criminal was unearthed. How
ever, to say the least, some extremely ques
.tionable practices and associations were dis
covered. Some men in public positions of
responsibility and power seemed to think it
was quite all right to exchange official favOrs
for "gifts" from people who were interested
in government contracts, RFC loans and
so on. With few exceptions, the official in

WILL TRUMAN STUMP THE COUNTRY
THIS FALL AND FOR WHOM?

President Truman has been advised that
his name is being entered in the Oregon pri-
maries next spring, and is reported to be
working up his "bOX score" on the Eighty
second Congress and no doubt his blood
pressure as WELL Indication of this is seen
in his statement that his "whistle-stOp" tour
of the nation will depend upon when Con-
gress adjourns and what it has done by that
time.
So we may as we'll brace ourselves for
the news that, after all the Republican, "do-
nothing" Eightieth Congress which the Pres
ident assaulted in 1913, really wasn't the
worst in American history. For it looks as
though Mr.. Truman will confer that dis
tinctiOn on the Democratic Eighty-second.
Adherents point out, that at this point in
its session the "dO-nOthing" Eightieth had
passed 1888 public laws, while the present
body has polished off only no. 1t could be
argued, with considerable justice, that this
Congress is deeply concerned with the Q1tGL-
ity of it's output, and has refused to be STAN
peded into rushing vital, highly contrOver-
sial, and unprecedently expensive bills into
law just to get rid of them and go home But
Mr.. Truman has passed few compliments on
the new legislation that has come to his desk,
giving at least one bill, the Defense Produc-
ton Act, the distinction of "the worst bill''
he had ever had to sign.
Present indications are that the Truman
advisers will have until October LIST to de-
bate the propriety of the whistle STOP tour,
since that is the latest adjournment goal men
toned in Congress. One faction is advising
beginning the campaign year in advance,
while another says the President would steal
his own election year thunder that way.
Of course, no one but Mr.. Truman knows
whether he will be a candidate, as he has
said himself. But it would seem as though,
since he is accepting a fairly good salary
for the job, he ought to keep on working at
the presidency F. at least this gear We
shall probably not live to see it, but we can
hope the day will come when a President of
the United States, approaching the end Of
his term, will say: 'Im too busy at the big
gest job in the world to go out and make
speeches myself. You should know by now
whether or not you want me to stay here
