Truman Should Take ChoIIenoe
David Lowrence:,

The logical sequel to the
speech made by Senator Taft.
Republican, of Ohio, is for Presi-
dent Truman to accept the chal-
lenge In it and ask Congress to
adopt a resolution authorizing
the President to send our armed
forces wherever the obligations
OF the United Nations charter
may so require.
If the United States has any
doubts or hesitancy about
carrying out the moral obliga-
tions of the charter, other ma
tions which have recently been
criticized for not bearing their
fair share of the armament bur-
den can scarcely be blamed for
similar reluctance.
The Taft speech offers this
country an unexampled oppor-
tuuity to make up its mind as
to the method of which it's
military policy shall be carried
out under our constitutional sys-
tenn.
Senator Taft's speech
whether one agrees with it in
whole or in part-refects a sub
stantial sentiment of dissatis-
faction throughout the country
and as such cannot be regarded
as merely a partisan speech or
the criticism Of partisan. Such
criticism can only be met by the
fullest kind of debate.
The Ohio Senator's address
contains a number of inconsist-
encies. This in itself is not
strange. for the administrations
policies have been characterized
by the same thing.
Where Mr.. Taft goes off base,
however. is in his readiness on
the one hand, to agree that we
must fight Russia if her armies
sweep across continental Europe
because our obligations under
Evening star., 1951-01-08

aggressor and apply mild sane
tions. Thus far, it has failed.
Only diplomats can shut their
eyes to the fact that China is
waging a full-scale war. If they
don't think so. they should ask
the men on the battlefield.
The sanctions which the
American Government is urging
the United Nations to adopt in
volve little If any discomforts to
the member nations. They call
for a declaration that Red
China is an aggressor, with
drawal Of the ambassadors from
Peiping and a blockade of the
Chinese mainland.
In fact, there are only three
Western chiefs of mission in
Peiping representing lesser West
European countries. Red China
has refused to accept the recog-
milton Britain hastened to ex-
tend a year ago. Yet Britain is
the most ardent Western sup
porter Of the Peiping regime.
The idea Of a blockade of the
China coast is unacceptable to
our friends; it would endanger
the small pickings the British,
French and other Europeans are
able to get by selling essential
war materials to the Chinese
Communists.
This attitude of the q. N.
members is creating real con-
Germ among American political
leaders. They argue that if on
matters Of principle and inter-
national law as set forth in the
U. N. Charter we cannot obtain
even that small degree of CO.
operation, what kind of CO.
operation can we hope for when
the chips are really down in
other parts Of the globe?
Evening star., 1951-01-08

the basic issue the amount of
or the extent of the imitation
resulting from excessive debt
is not to be considered. Sena-
tor Taft's questioning of the
Truman policy of failing to con-
suit Congress for authority to
do what he has been doing is
100 per cent right. Likewise,
in Taft's plea for plan to aid
undergrounds and other forces
that might be willing to harass
the Soviet regimes in the vari-
Gus satellite countries is also
sound advice. Indeed, there are
many points in the Taft speech
that could well be taken to
heart by the administration.
Fundamentally, moreover,
there is every reason why the
Congress should be asked to
pass upon important steps of
national policy. To do SO is to
require members of the legis-
lative body to stand up and be
counted. Likewise, the world
has a right to know whether
under our divided constitutional
system the President is speak
ing for the country or for his
own political party only or for
an arbitrary course which the
Constitution forbids him to
take. For only Congress can
declare war.
Certainly the operations in
Korea are such that congress
sional authority for action there
seems desirable. Had the Presi-
dent done this last July he
would have been given the nec-
essary authority without hesi-
tation. He can get such a vote
now even with the debate which
in itself will help to clear the
air. If the President chooses
to ignore the Congress he will
be forfeiting a magnificent OPP
portunity for leadership and he
will miss the chance to forge
a real unity In this country and
the free world.

the Atlantic Pact require us to
defend our continental allies
and his reluctance, on the other
hand, to send many troops to
Europe now.
What really is bothering
Senator Taft is military strategy
not foreign policy. He con-
cedes that when we do fight we
must help our allies of Europe
and that we cannot forsake
them now. He agrees that we
must defend Britain now and
also any other areas overseas
where we may need bases for
air power. But when it comes to
setting up the right defense
against an aggreSsor he ex-
presses doubt whether we should
send our armies to continental
Europe where they could be
overrun by the Soviet forces. He
offers advice that amounts to
a fatal caution. If not defeatism.
To notify Russia now that con-
tinental Europe would not be
defended is to invite attack.
To say that Britain can be de-
Tended solely by sea and air
power is to say that we would be
willing to let France and Ger
many be thrown into the arms
OF the Communists. The indus
trial strength of Germany in
particular when added to what
Russia already controls would
give her an arsenal in which to
build supplies to destroy Britain.
What is needed today is a
considered Judgment by the best
military leaders on the whole
allied side. What they may say
is the minimum military re-
quirement it is our moral and
legal obligation to supply. Gen.
eral Eisenhower has gone to
Europe to determine this very
thing.
To argue that this is expen-
sive is to put dollars ahead of
human life. Where survival is

Truman Democrats Plan Bloc

The out-numbered Truman
Democrats Of the Senate are
taking a leaf from the book
of the ascendant Southern bloc
in the shape Of moves to keep
their voting strength intact on
issues they consider crucial.
The 10 Senators who lost
their fight to elect a majority
leader of their own choosing,
Senator O'Mahoney, will meet
tonight at the home of Senator
Lehman of New York to discuss
ways and means. Some of the
more belligerent want to name a
leader. whip and secretary to
organize regular meetings and a
legislative program.
The moderates, who are the
majority of the minority, are
opposed to such drastic proce
dure. They believe it will scare
off Republican liberal support
and also needlessly infuriate
Majority Leader Mcfarland.
The fact is that the Majority
Leader is already irked by the
liberals who have made their
opposition to his selection and
actions so clear. At the most re-
cent conference of the leaders
with President Truman, Sena-
tor Mcfarland unburdened him.

Doesn't Usually Eovesdrop
But This in1eHeB eBrokeRu|e

Eavesdropping is nothing I
make practice Of doing. AS
a matter Of fact don't approve
OF eavesdropping. The only
time I ever eavesdrop is when
get the chance.
Som etimes eavesdropping
brings rich rewards as it did
yesterday. It not only allowed
me to listen in on a conversa-
tion which was none Of my
business but it also allowed me
to coin a phrase. Now, when
I coin a phrase 1t stays coined.
I'm always coming up with
some new item such as "It's a
small world"
II I hadn't been eavesdrop-
ping I wouldn't have had the
opportunity to coin this new
kind OF phrase. But I hap
pened to be listening to my
wife Jean talking to q maid we
had gotten through one of the
large agencies in New York.
AS my wife went out to talk
to Lois, the girl we had hired
to do some washing, pressing
and mending. I did q little
eavesdropping and here is what
I heard.
Remember, If it hadn't been
for eavesdropping I could never
have coined that wonderful
phrase, Its a small world"
Jean said to Lois that she didn't
sound much like a Northerner
to her. Lois told her that she
wasn't from the North and this
was their conversation:
Jean: Where were you born.
Lois?"
Lois: I'm Florida"
Jean: $50 was I. Where in
Florida were you born?"
Lois: "In Daytona Beach"
Jean: $50 was T."
Lois: II was born on Orange
avenue"
Jean: $50 was T."

Our mobilization is proceeding
at a slower pace than the situa-
ton requires; but it is gaining
momentum. There is no indica-
ton. however, that the nations
which are directly in the path
of the Red hurricane are doing
anything to increase their
tempo. They still expect Ameri-
can forces, thousands of miles
away and committed to the de-
fense Of other vital strategic
areas affecting the security Of
this country. to be in the first
line Of defense in Europe.
Those who have spoken out
frankly on this subject, such as
Mr.. Hoover and Senator Taft,
have merely urged that collabo-
ration and unity among the ma
tions Of the free world be a
two-way street. The antics Of
our allies in the United Nations
in connection with the Red
China question have so far
shown that no such thought
actually exists in the minds Of
their political leaders.

Record Hunting Seascn Fills
 Cold 5torages

All cold storages in Anchorage, Seward and Fairbanks are filled to the last locker according to Dan Ralston, enforcement supervisor for the Fish and Wildlife Service, who returned to Juneau yesterday. This hunting season there were more reople out to track down moose or caribou than ever before, Ral- ston said and the cold storage facilities in interior cities are now filled to capacity.
 Ralston said that more moose and caribou would have been taken except for a series of flash floods in the Anchorage, Cordova, and Fairbanks areas two weeks ago Road washouts and the flooding of the Copper River flats cut down the number of animals taken.
 To aid the enforcement program the U. s. Army assigned 12 men in the Anchorage and Fairbanks areas as special game deputies.
 On his trip to the interior, Ral- ston inspected enforcement offices at Seward, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Cordova.

175 Violations Found in Drive
 For Beef Control

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 = R - The government reported today the nationwide drive to enforce beef price controls has turned up ITS violations in 47 cities.
 The Office of Price Stabilization has said the figures still are incom- plete. Full reports were not avail able from the Denver and Seattle OPS regions.
 An OPS official said the drive which began Tuesday with the agency's full enforcement staff in operation is continuing. Several hundred slaughter houses are under check.
 The official said the agency ex- pected a decline today in the num- Der of violations uncovered as the slaughtering houses themselves frightened their operations to comply with the law.
 OPS reported that in at least one city-Buffalo, N.Y.-an agent seek ing to check on operations of a plant encountered violence. An of- ficial said the agent was punched in the nose" and that court action would be taken as result.
 A preliminary report from the Atlanta price office said enforce ment raids there showed a ma iority" of big and little slaughters in violation.

Warning Given by National Guard on
 Use of Rifle Range

Alaska National Guard head quarters announced today that the Mendenhall rifle range is un- der Forest Service use permit" to the guard.
 Under the terms of the permit, the public is authorized the use of the range without expense whenever usage does not conflict with use by the National Guard.
 Organized rifle clubs take prece- dence over individuals, the guard headquarters said. A telephone call to 811 during business hours will give clearance to avoid conflicts over use of the range.
 "The safe and skillful use of fire arms is an American tradition" a spokesman at the guard headquart- CTS said. Shooters using the range are requested to use common sense and observe safety rules. The red range flag to be displayed while the range is in use is in the box at the end of the range house."
 Because the lake shore trail is in frequent use, he said, extreme care is necessary to make certain firing is confined to the range it. self. Careless firing over the lake or along the shore can cause ac- cidents.
 Target holders" the spokesman said, "have heen used as targets. "The range house has been used as a target far more often than the odds for accidental discharge of firearms would indicate"
 The spokesman stated that des- truction of government property can become "an unpleasant exper- fence to those apprehended."

Kiwanis Neis S2SS.37, i Washer, i Token In Kids Day Drive

Pictures of the 1851 Rose Bowl Parade and football game were shown at a regular meeting of the Juneau Kiwanis club at the Bar anof Hotel Wednesday noon. Com mittee reports were given on Na- tional Kids Day and the status of the clubs scrap metal drive.
 Ken Morgan, chairman of the Kids Day committee said that 300 youngsters took advantage of the free show provided by the club last Saturday, that ten older children were brought in from the Winfield Home for the occasion and that ice cream was sent to those too young to go to the show.
 In reporting on the results of the tag days held last week for the pur- pose of raising funds for the club underprivilegrd children's fund, Morgan stated that S462.37, one washer and one Anchorage bus token were contributed. Sixteen hundred buttons were sold.
 This left a net of $288.37, the washer and the token.
 He said that other service clubs had cooperated and that they were being thanked. "The Teen Age Club, which is a junior service club, sent 12 members to assist in the drive" Morgan said, and they were good promoters"
 Dr. Ted Oberman, chairman of The scrap iron drive, pointed out that the drive had a definite pa triotic angle since the government had urged the salvage of scrap met als in order to meet current de- fense needs.
 He said that he had received many calls from local persons who had scrap to contribute. He called a meeting of his committee for next Monday.
 Ed Hinke was program chair man and the Rose Bowl movie was furnished through the cooperation of the Union Oil Co.,
 Neil Friedman, president of the Juneau Rotary club was guest.
