Constantine Brown:

The Chinese Communists are
continuing their relentless drive
in Korea.
Our military leaders feel con-
fident that as the Chinese lines
of communication are length
ened our strategic position will
improve, SO long as we have
our present mastery of the air.
But from the political point
of view it has become question:
able whether we should hold the
Pusan beachhead. Some of the
SO nations which approved the
police action" against the
Korean aggreSsors last June now
are shaking in their boots and
fear to label the Chinese Reds
aggressors.
Under these conditions our
continued stay in Korea would
be an American, not a United
Nations, operation.
The American delegation at
the United Nations for nearly a
month now has been asking our
associates to declare the
Chinese Communists aggressors.
A number of old-fashioned
diplomatic subterfuges were
used by Britain and her associ-
ates to prevent our resolution
from coming before the body
which last June ordered the
police action" In spite of our
pleadings, and discreet but
clear warnings that the atti-
tude of the appeasers may de-
stroy the effectiveness of the
United Nations, the member ma
tions are still evading the issue.
The British and Indian gov
ernments are urging us to get
together directly with the Peip-
ing puppets to find an "equit-
able solution" to the present
problem. In other words, these
governments feel that because
the Chinese Communists have,
by their armed Intervention,
succeeded in preventing United
Nations forces from accomplish
ing their mission, we should
hoist the white flag and go hat
in hand to ask Mao -tung
for forgiveness.
It is understandable that the
European governments, like
others of the remaining free
nations, should be worried about
the present military potential
of Russia and her satellites.
1t is equally understandable
that the European nations
should want everything that
America has of military value
poured into Europe. where the
Red land and air forces are far
superior to what the Western
nations have ready for defensive
purposes.
1t is difficult, however, to un-
derstand why they believe that
abject surrender to China. such
as they propose. would improve
the present situation. 1t is
difficult to understand how the
free nations, which are pledged
to support the United Nations
to the limit, can hope that
this organization can survive by
condoning aggression.

June and the intervention of
the Chinese Communists last
November were planned in de-
tail in the Kremlin. The pres
ence of Soviet officers and Of
the latest types of Russian war
materials is ample proof of
Moscow's designs, even for the
most determined Wishful think
erS.
1t is hard to conceive how
the British and Commonwealth
prime ministers can imagine
that by yielding to Moscow's
puppct Mao we do not actually
surrender to the Soviet govern
ment.
Napoleon's great victories
were due as much to his mill
tary genius as to the fact that
he was fighting coalition armies
belonging to countries which
had divergent interests.
Will history repeat itself?
There is a desperate need for
unity between the free nations.

higher prices and new demands
by labor for wage increases.
The President has recognized
that the labor front is in a
bad way by drafting former
Senator Frank P. Graham of
North Carolina to help Mr..
Wilson with labor problems. Mr..
Graham has had a long eXpe-
rience in mediation and concili-
alton; he has the confidence
and respect of all segments of
labor.
His appointment also amounts
to White House recognition that
the break between the Presi-
dents labor advisor, DR.. John
r. Steelman. and the unions is
about complete.
The railroad dispute, its slow
progress and the present con-
fusion over settlement terms
was the last straw. Labor will
deal with DR.. Steelman no more
than necessity dictates and with
out confidence.
But labor Senators are, not
happy over the labor approach
to mobilization. the insistence
on a freeway for wage in
creases and attacks on credit
controls. They foresee a bad
press and hostile public opinion.
1t is an additional reason why

dent doesn't accept the chal-
lenge laid down by some con-
gressional leaders. It has been
limited that some of those Sen
ators who think Congress should
have a chance to vote on the
issue would nevertheless give
their support to the President.
The power to declare war was
given to Congress by the found
ing fathers because of a belief
that the war-making power
should be confined solely to the
legislative branch of the Gov
ernment. The trainers Of the
Constitution foresaw the con-
tingency that Congress might
have to debate the issue of war
or peace at considerable length,
so they provided for instanta-
neous action in an emergency.
The Constitution says:
mo State shall, without the
consent of Congress engage
in war, unless actually invaded,
or in such imminent danger al
will not admit of delay"
The power granted to one
State is obviously the same as
could be assumed to exist for all
of the United States. Hence it
is possible for the United States
to engage in war Immediately
when there is imminent dan
ger" This has happened when
ever America was attacked. Even
before Congress voted on the
resolution declaring a state of
war in April, 1917. and also in
December, 1941, orders went out
from the President to our armed
forces to engage in retaliatory
action.

Pact and that he need not ask
the approval of Congress. He
has the right to forestall an
attack on the United States. and
it can be considered that allocat-
ing troops to European bases is
tantamount to preventive steps.
The situation in the Far East
is altogether different. There
Mr.. Truman sent American
forces to carry out a mission for
the United Nations. If it be
asserted that what went on in
Korea from June 26 to the latter
part of November was a mis-
sion of liberation, 1t can hardly
be asserted that the intervention
by the Chinese Communists later
on wasn't war. For American
forces to engage in a war with
substantial numbers of American
troops does require the consent
Of Congress. It is a grave mis-
take for any President to take
the risks Of such a step without
being given authority by the
Congress. To do so is to build
precedentS under which the
Chief Executive can engage in
wars on his own hook while ig-
noring the wishes of the people
who normally are consulted
through the votes of their rep
resentatives in Congress.
Mr.. Truman could get not only
the necessary authority now for
the continued use Of our armed
forces against Communist i'm
perialism IN the Far East, but he
could get thereby a vote of con-
fldence that would be at the
same time a sharp warning to
Soviet Russia.

Henry McLemore:

NEW ORLEANS.-The hot
water bottle is something I
haven't given much thought to
in many years, but since being
bedded down with flu here in
New Orleans, the homely hot
water bottle has become quite
important to me.
1t is on my mind practically
as much as it is on my feet.
I have been thinking about the
hot-water bottle. and how to
improve its status, when I
know I should have been think
ing about more vital things such
as President Truman's State of
the Union message and why he
hadn't made it two years ago:
what goes on in Britain's head
when it keeps stalling on United
States demands that the U. N.
brand China as an aggressor,
and just what shade of red
Louis Johnson's face must be
now that the super aircraft
carrier is to be built with all
possible speed.
But those things aren't right
in bed with me, and the hot
water bottle is. That is, it was
right in bed with me up until
a few seconds ago when I sum-
moned my feeble strength and
kicked it out before it could
burn off two or three of my
favorite toes and an instep that
has been a lifelong friend.
The hot-Water bottle-or some
form of it-has been in use
since before the time Of the
pharaohs, but it hasn't been
improved a lick. 1t is just as
impossible to handle now as
it was centuries and centuries
ago.
1t is either too hot or too
cold.

David LoWrence:

Most unfortunate is the con-
troversy that has arisen between
the President and the Congress
concerning the right of the Ex-
ecutive to send troops abroad
without approval by Congress.
1t is unfortunate because it
can lead to unnecessary dissen-
sion and perhaps present
picture of disunity in the Ameri-
can Government which is wholly
inaccurate.
AS usual. the technical prece-
dents do not afford much of a
guide, because each situation in
the past had a different set of
circumstances. Presidents of the
United States have often sent
American armed forces abroad
to protect American lives and
property, and this has been done
without the prior approval of
Congress.
Back of this type of action.
however, is the common-sense
rule that sometimes the Presi-
dent has to act before he could
possibly submit the matter to
Congress. Usually the action has
been submitted to Congress to
ratify after the event. and ap-
proval has always been given.
What is really involved at
present is not the power of the
President to send troops abroad
on missions of enforcement of
American policy but the power
of the President to carry on a
war without the consent of
Congress.
1t can be argued academi-
cally, of course, that the Presi-
dent may send troops to Europe
to back up the North. Atlantic

STATIC CLUB PARTY
HAS HALLOWEEN AIR

The Static Bridge Club met
with Mrs. Nick Stevens at her
home last Monday evening, and
as customary at the October meet
ing all members came masked.
Much guessing was enjoyed among
the members, especially when two
extra costumed guests appeared.
Two daughters of a member join
ed the group unknown to every
one there including the hostess,
who was quite surprised when she
counted noses and found two ex-
ira in the crowd. Lighted pump
kins and black cats added gayety
and mystery to the evening.
Mrs. John Graves won the prize
for high score in the bridge game
Members in reminiscing recalled
that the club was organized %
years ago and all but one original
member still belongs to the group.
Those present were Mrs. Graves,
Mrs. Oscar Herring, Mrs. Charles
Fought, Mrs. Max Griest, Mrs.
Cliff Rymers, Mrs. Virgil Wolf
and the hostess. Mrs. Cy Frank
was unable to be present At the
conclusion of the evening Mrs.
Stevens served delicious refresh
ments in keeping with the Hal
lowe'en spirit.

Soil Types Change
Time For Flowing

Whether farmers plow their
land in fall or spring depends
largely upon soil types found on
their farms.
Fourteen years tests on light
soils at the Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station at Wooster
indicate that fall-plowed ground
has a tendency to become conf
pacted by spring. 1t loses favor
able structure and aeration need
ed by corn. On light soils, spring
plowing is preferable, either with
or without green manure crop.
On heavier soils, such as the
lake bed Brookston clay in north
western Ohio, however, tests have
shown that late fall plowing gives
as good or better granulation of
the soil than spring plowing. In
eight years tests at Holgate, in
Henry County, corn yields were
higher after fall blowing than
spring plowing. Early spring
plowing, before May l, gave next
highest yields.

.Cranberries Good
With All Meats

We like cranberries with poul-
try at our house, and they're good
with many other meats too. Since
very abundant crop is in store
for us, we should all consider
using this tart, rich colored fruit
often.
Cranberries are grown in bogs.
After harvesting, the berries are
bounced over a series of inclined
boards. The sound berries bounce
freely over the boards, but the
soft ones drop without bounce
and are discarded. Over half the
nations crop is sold fresh and
the remainder is sold canned as
sauce or bottled as juice.
The tangy distinctive flavor Of
cranberries along with its bright
color can add real zest to meal.
Cranberries contrib butte fair
amounts of vitamin C to the diet
and small amounts of other vita
minis and minerals.
For a salad with zip, grind 3
cups of fresh cranberries and 2
whole oranges (even the peel),
add l cup of sugar. Use combin-
ed with a package of fruit jello,
nuts, and celery. Serve on a let
tuce leaf.
