A Supreme Court decision to review
the case would bring the issue of segrega-

segregation is in force but has never ruled

Ohio's Bridges
Failing Down

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. Is (INS)
The Ohio Department of High
ways is getting caught with it's
bridges down.
Highway Director T. J. Kauper
reports 1914 bridge failures on the
state system during 1919 and 49,
so. Seventy-seven Of these 33 in
1949 and "A last year : were to-
tai losses. The remaining lit he
described as partial failures, only
temporarily out Of action.
Kauer said illegal truck loads
were directly responsible for the
cave-in of 25 bridges and were a
contributing factor'' in the failure
of 129.
His report also showed that col
lisions wrecked % bridges, floods
washed out 16 and fire Quilted one.
He said one-fourth of all the
bridges onthe state system r un-
safe for today's heavy loads and
estimated it would require 10

cans continue to insist to the edi-
tors Of the papers which publish
Pegler's column that he stick to
the truth and not indulge in char
acter assassination Of men like DR..
Tobias, the hem of whose garment
Pegler is unworthy to touch"
The full text of MI. Whites
statement follows:
"Pegler, as usual, is running
true to form. Having attempted
by misstatement and innuendo
to injure the regulations of a
distinguished and loyal Ameri-
can like DR.. Claiming H. Tobi-
as and to discredit the report Of
the Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights, he now screams in
anger that he is being 'smeared
ed through being accused of
smearing DR.. Tobias What a
travesty on decent journalism
or just plain decency!
"The public should not for
get that the ex-baseball reporter
achieved his first notoriety by
fulsome praise of the lynchers
who murdered two white men in
San Jose, California, in 1888.
He has deviated from that
kind of action or philosophy.
The attack on DR.. Tobias and
the Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights is as vicious as any
statement Bilbo or Rankin ever
made. He characterizes law OBJ
and constitutional
guarantees of equal protection
as attempts i'm a furtive way to
dissolve important parts Of the
Federal Constitution and revoke
inalienable right of the people
and of the States
SIN Pegler's book an inalien-
able right seems to be that of
lynching, denial of the right to
work, play and live on the same
terms as. other citizens and to
help build democracy by proving
to the rest Of the world that
justice and fair play are the rule
instead of the exception In A.

TRUMAN BRANDS
TAFT PROPOSAL
WAR INVITATION

WASHTNGTON-tPp - Presi-
dent Truman has hung an 'invi-
tation-to-war" tag on a proposal
by Senator Taft (R-Ohio) to re-
duce the manpower goal of the
armed forces by 100000 men.
If Congress should permit the
defense program to get snarled
up, or delayed, or slashed, we
would be counting disaster" Mr..
Truman said in a speech prepared
for the National Conference on
citizenship meeting at a local
hotel.
The President denounced Pen
ny-pinching' on foreign aid, and
accused some of his opponents of
playing politics" at time of
very reap' danger of war with
Russia.
He also called on the people
to counter special interest" lob
bies by urging their congressman
to support higher taxes. and
stronger price. rent and wage
controls.

controls, due TO expire June 30,

tion program. 4aS sure as Nola reI
born, unless the main body of the
citizens of this country get busy
and do something about III"
Mr.. Truman did not mention
Senator Taft by name bue he left
no doubt he had the Dhioan in
mind when he told the conference:
"A suggestion was made by one
senator the other day that we
ought to cut down the goal of our
armed forces by half million
men. AT time like this, such a
cut would be very foolish.
'Slashing the size of our armed
forces would not be an economy,
ii would be an invitation to war.
Taft told a US. Chamber of
Commerce meeting here April 30
that the administrations goal
of a 3,500,000 tM)-member armed
force should be cut by 100000
since he said it would be too bic
for the economy to support indef-
initely.
Mr.. Truman said 1--WE have got
to have more taxes if we are to
pay for our defense program and
hold down initiation"
Taxes are not so hard to take
If everybody pays his fair share,
in accordance with his ability to
pay" he added. But if we Let
the special groups come in riddle
the tax program with special ex-
emptions, we won't have a good
tax program, or fair tax pro-
gram. We won't be able to balance
the budget, and we won't be able
to stop initiation"
The president said he had no
doubt that Congress will vote
