United States A bomb stockpile.
Coming to the question of bust
ness, he said that the general con-
census of opinion in Washington was
that the outlook for business
throughout the nation in 1852 was
extremely good
Then, on the all important ques-
ton of politics, the speaker said that
the situation was clouded and then
laughingly added, "the denseness of
the clouds depends on whether you
are Republican or Democrat" This,
of course, brought up the subject of
the presidential candidates and Mr..
Folliard stated that this was Just
about as clouded as the rest of the
political picture.
AS far as the Democrats were con-
cerned, he said that some ten weeks
ago he felt positive that President
Truman would not be candidate,
but that right now, while he still be-
lieves that he will not run, he is not
quite so certain about it. But he
added that, if he did not run, he
would have lot to say about who
the candidate would be and it was
Mr.. Folliards opinion that he would
select Chief Justice Vinson.
On the Republican side he pointed
out that when an effort was made
to get General Eisenhower to run in
'48 he emphatically turned it down
and decried the Eisenhower clubs
that got started all over the coun-
try. But right now, although he
has made no statement at all, he has
also made no effort to stop his sup
porters from actively engaging in
the campaign on his behalf.
AS to who will become the next
President of the United States, Mr..
Pollard said that in his opinion, if
General Eisenhower does get the
nomination he would have better
chance than anyone else-either a
Republican or Democrat - but he
warned his hearers that he was so
sure four months before the pre-
yious presidential election that Dew
ey would be elected, that he dis
missed the presidential race as be-
ing practically over.
Regarding the Washington scan
dals, the speaker was of the opinion
that they would definitely hurt the
Democratic Party in next years
election, but the hurt could be less
ened if President Truman followed
the example Of President Coolidge
who, in the days of the Teapot Dome
Scandal, appointed an independent
committee to investigate and prose
cute the wrong doors to the hilt. He
ended his talk by stating that the
public should not be surprised if
still another scandal is exposed in
the near future which, according to
information he has received, will be
! bigger than either the RFC or the
Internal Revenue cases.
At the close of his address, Mr..
Pollard answered several questions
from the floor

Edward Pollard, Washington>Po Post
Reporter, Addresses Jaycees Here

Gives "a Report On The Washington Scene" To Junior
Chamber Of Commerce Members And Their Bosses Boss
Mite" Meeting. Doubts If Truman VIII Run Again
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-12-13

The Junior Chamber of Commerce,
one of the really live organizations
of the community, came up with an
unusual program for their regular
meeting, held in the Potomac Room
of the Hotel Alexander on Monday
night.
The gathering, designated as ''Boss'
Mite" called for each member to
bring his boss with him-and that's
exactly what they did. Roland G.
Hebb, president of the organization,
was in the chair.
The guest speaker was Edward
Pollard, White House reporter for
the Washington Post, former presi-
dent of the White House Correspond
ents Association, and a Pulitzer
Prize winner.
The meeting opened with a brief
business session, during which DR..
William T. Layman, chairman of the
National and International Affairs
Committee, presented to President
Hebb certificate of membership in
the newly formed International
Junior Chamber Of Commerce, with
which 80 countries are already af-
filiated. In making the presentation
DR.. Layman pointed out that Hagers-
town was the first chapter in Mary
land to join.
Dr. Harold Winder, first vice-pres-
ident, then introduced a number Of
new members, presented them with
their membership cards and pins,
and then informed them that the
Hagerstown Jaycees organization has
again been presented with the Henry
Giesenbier plaque for being the most
outstanding chapter in the state This
is the fifth time that the award has
been presented to the Hagerstown
chapter
Ralph Goldman, chairman of the
program committee, then introduced
Mr. Pollard.
During his address, in which he
gave "a Report on the Washington
Scene" Mr.. Folliard discussed five
phases of the Scene = Korea, The
World Situation, Business, Politics
and Washington Scandals.
With regard to Korea, the speaker
said that the situation was hopeful
but still filled with uncertainty. On
the subject of a possible armistice he
said that, to the best of his knowl-
edge, Communist China was not US
ing the armistice talks for the pur-
pose of setting a trap, adding that
he based his opinion on the fact that
he understood General Ridgeway
was convinced that Communist
China really wants an armistice, due
to the terrible losses they have sus-
tanned since they entered the cam
paign.
Touching on the world situation
Mr.. Pollard felt that although it
was brighter than it has been for
some time, it is still quite serious.
In discussing this phase he said that
since Stain made no attempt to push
through the West before General
Eisenhower began building up the
allied forces in Europe, he would
think twice before trying it now
when the building up of the armed
forces of the allies is well underway.
He also stated that he believed an
other lettering factor was Stains

reason for wanting to move from
the House to the Senate was so that
he could better serve his constitu-
ents, as well as all of the people of
the great Free State of Maryland,
and to help keep the United States
of America free.
The complete text of the Congress
mans statement follows:
UNLESS some unexpected influence
intervenes, this Congress will end
my ten years of service in the House
It is my intention to take short
trip. I am told it is not only the
most expensive short trip on record,
but it is also the most hazardous
journey which has been charted, al
though it is merely 500 feet leading
from the House of Representatives
to the Senate of the United States.
Il have appreciated the oppor-
tunity given me to work with the
various Members of Congress. The
years 1 have served have given me
growth of vision and reasoning. It
has been my goal to represent the
best interests of the people of my
constituency and my country. While
l have differed at times with some
of my colleagues as to what was
best, l shall not forget the lessons
learned in the House dealing with
patience, forbearance and under
standing.
my reason for wanting to make
this journey is to better serve my
own constituents, as well as all of
the people of the great Free State of
Maryland, and to help keep the
United States of America free.
'The ideologies held by many peo-
pie in high places are contrary to
our American precepts. They can
call it planned economy, the Fair
Deal, or social welfare - but it is
still the same old Socialist baloney,
any way you slice it. In my opinion
planned economy costs the individ-
ual vast amounts of money and part
of his freedom = it is definitely a
step toward absolute Socialism.
Il am well aware of the Com
munist threat. l do not discount it.
The dangerous spread of atheistic
Communism under the present Ad-
ministration in Washington is well
known. I will continue to fight it
relentlessly. But there is another
threat almost as dangerous but more
difficult to recognize It is the threat
presented to our free institutions by
that group of cynical men who, I'M
der the guise of providing political
panaceas for certain social and eco
nomic problems, are selling the
American birthright for a mess of
political pottage.
Slowly but surely they are chip
ping away the freedoms which are
essential to the survival of healthy,
strong and productive nation.
when my journey is completed,
mean to continue my public service
on the same basic principles which
have motivated my actions through
out my political career"

Appointments in Alaska Civilian Defense Announced

Three appointments in the Alaska civilian defense organization were announced today by Col. Earl Lan- dreth, territorial director.
 The territorial civilian defense council at it's first meeting July 31 agreed that two coordinators would replace the four district directors authorized by the civil defense act passed by the 1851 legislature. The defense districts are the same as the four judicial divisions.
 The council voted that a full-time coordinator be appointed for the third district and a part-time man for the fourth district.
 Two reasons were given by Lan- dreth for no coordinatOrs in the first and second districts. De- fense work in the second district would not warrant one there, he said. The office of information and education would perform the duties of a coordinatOr in the first district. The council voted that the money for first division cOOrd- inator be used for an information and education section in the of flee of the director.
 Ed Fortier of Anchorage has been designated by Landreth for the third defense area. Appointment of the region four corrdinator to be sta tioned at Fairbanks will be made in October
