President Truman's peevish
outburst against a Senate
Banking Subcommittee's report
charging the use of political
influence in granting of loans
by the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation seems to have had

has been stung by Mr.. Trumans
criticism that its report was
asinine into a determination
to explore further and dig up
more detail. In the course Of 1t.
opportunity for a hearing Is
expected to be offered to those
mentioned, including RFC
members; Donald Dawson,
White House aide formerly at

A thorough investigation
would be salutary. It Is good
every so often for the public
to get an insight into the in

into what is known as the Elm

here year in and year out what
ever party is in power.
This might serve at least as q
check, even if temporary. to
practices contrary to good gov
eminent. What might. or could
be, done to prevent it is an
other matter. Very little likely,
politics being what it is. and the
opportunities in politics for bus

Dovid Lowrence:

Former President Hoover and
Senator Taft, by their speeches
urging q greater emphasis on
sea power and air power rather
than land power, have demon
strated that helpful though it
be to debate such issues these
two statesmen are not really
Up to date on military strategy
rs it will affect the next big
scale war in Europe.
What both men are talking
about has made military men
here gasp with astonishment.
For there Is no such thing as
a sharp line of demarcation
in our overall strategy between
air power, sea power or land
power, respectively. Korea has
proved that it is the combina-
ton Of all three rather than re-
lance on any one or two Of
these components which makes
for success against an enemy,
even though the aggressor pos
sesseS only one force-land
armies.
Both MeSsrs. Taft and Hoo
yer have spoken repeatedly Of
land troops and have attempted
to argue that a certain number
Of divisions will be modified
by Russia against which it
would be futile to match Ameri-
can or European divisions. The
speeches have given the impress
sion that because the Russians
have more divisions already, it
would be a mistake to try to
build up manpower against
them.
What seems to have been
overlooked is that air power,
for example, consists Of a. large
amount of ground power. Thus
the big bases in Europe, whether
in Britain or France or Spain
or North Africa or the Middle
East, will require a sizable num-
Der Of ground troops to pro-
tect those points against land
attack.
The theory that air power
can make sustained attacks
from our own continent and
that these alone will be ade-
quate has been found fallacious.
There are, of course, intercon-
tinental bombers which in the
initial stages of any war will

 The wind shifted late last night as the flames were bearing down on the suburbs of Extension, White paniSs Road and Harewcni and car- ried the fire back up the slopes of Mount Benson.
 Before the wind-and 600 loggers turned the blaze, it had reached a point eight miles from the city center.
 The blaze, started Saturday-by a careless hunter. forestry men said was burning on a 61a-mile front. It covered 2,000 acres and has des- troyed 100000 feet of timber.

 However, here is an almost ver- batim account of Congressman Scott's talk with General Ike in Paris, on which the Pennsylvania Congressman based his earth-shak- ing prediction
 Scott asked Eisenhower if there was any hope" of Ike's accepting a COP draft nomination for the White House.
 Scott added: q know you're a good Republican, General-lsn't that a fact?"
 Before Eisenhower could reply, an aide. Brig. Gen. Charles T. Lanham, who was present at the meeting, broke in jokingly;
 I've never heard the General say anything to indicate that he isn't a good Republican"
 This struck Eisenhower as so funny that he reared back and let go with belly laugh that almost
