own more complex world today.
THE standards of the public
will be raised if leaders in public
life practice vigorous integrity.
They will be lowered if these lead
Iers are lax in their personal or
official behavior"
Turning to practices in Congress
which could be corrected, the SUBJ
committee made these sugges-
tions.
Former members Of Congress.

denied the privilege of the floor.
The employment of relatives as
members Of Congressional stats,
paid at public expense. should be
forbidden by law.
Phase Of Blackmail.
The subcommittee said impro--
Ipriety in the activity of members
of Congress who refer matters to
administrative agencies and in
Ftervene in behalf of constituents
can only be controlled, under
existing circumstances, by the
self-restraint of Senators and
Representatives.
The report said the consensus
among members who are, most
scrupulous in this matter is that
cases should be referred and
argued only on their merits.
Senator Aiken suggested, in his
separate statement, that "a people
determined to reassert its SOW
ereignty will not place its entire
faith in commissions on ethics
but will use its power of direct
action-the power of the ballot
to correct this unsavory and
dangerous condition"

Douglas Quotes Old
Quotroin to Make
A Point in Ethics

Poetry and verse rarely find
their way into congressional
reports. but Senator Douglas,
Democrat. Of Illinois, found
an appropriate stanza to Illus
trate a point In his report on
ethics In government.
He was trying to show that
morality Is violated, not mere
ly by politicians and the weak,
but also by the strong and
powerful. who sometimes are
able to have their anti-social
acts approved by legislation or
court action" Then he added:
The medieval English quat-
rain about the way in which
the common lands were in
closed and taken over by the
nobility of England has also
real meaning for our times:
The law locks up both man
and iUontGs
Who steals the goose from of
the common.
But lets the greater felon loose
Who steals the common from
the goose.

nor their confidence impaired in
the gallant Marines committed to
battle in Korea when that fight
ing body of menof such illustrieuS
tradition and fame was so griev-
|ously and unjustly assailed."
This appeared to be an allusion
to Mr.. Truman's statement last
year that the Marines had "a
propaganda machine" equal to
Stains.
Would Breach Defenses.
Gen. Macarthur declared there
still is reason to fear "that it is
still the overriding purpose of
some of our political leaders,
under the influence of Allies who
maintain diplomatic ties with
Communist China, to yield the
Island of Formosa at an opportune
time to the Chinese henchmen OF
international communisin.s 5
Such a move. he added, would
breach Americas chain of island
defenses in the Pacific and en-
danger the Pacific coastal area.
President Truman and his top
civilian and military advisors have
said the general was ousted be-
cause he was in public opposi-
ton to United States policy in
Asia. And the administration has
denied there was ever any inten-
ton of giving up Formosa to the
Reds or seating Red China.
Gen. Macarthur said it is nee
|essary to help our Allies build
their defenses-but he insisted it
should be a helping hand" only
to those with a will to help them
selves.
"Recklessly and abnormally ap-
piled" he said. lit could encorri-
tpaSS our own destruction. This
country obviously lacks the re-
sources militarily to defend the

Publicity of findings of improper
lpractices would serve as a further
deterrent"
The recommendation that all
lofficials, in and out of Congress
file annual statements of income
from all sources was made by
President Truman in a special
message on September 27. The
subcommittee, however, already
had the proposal embodied in q
rough draft Of its report. The
Icommittee plan would include
officers in the armed services
along with civilian officials. The
statements would be filed with the
Controller General.
/ Congress also is urged, in the
report, to encourage private citi-
zens to form non-partisan ma
1 tional organizations to make sug-
Egestions and to work for further
lifting Of ethical standards.

Macarthur said you cannot prof.
itahly negotiate with Commu-
nists"
I'VE negotiate and negotiate
and negotiate, never seeming to
learn that you cannot profitably
negotiate with Communists any
more than you can with any other
type of Ynalefactor in civilized so
ciety," he said.
The only persuasion that will
move them is the resistance to
their abusive pressure by adequate
counter-pressure."
The general did not call for a
break-off in the KeaSong truce
talks. but he left it clear he puts
no faith in them and would open
all-out war against the Reds in
the Far East as the best way to
get an agreement.
He also charged this Nation is
plunging toward socialism and
economic disaster under the pres
ent national leadership and he
said the people win insist that
American policy be reoriented to
American tradition, American
thinking and American needs"
There had been some specula-
ton that Gen. Macarthur would
mention the presidential candi-
dacy of Senator Taft, Republican,
OF Ohio But the general made no
mention of Senator Taft or the
coming presidential election al
though the assailed the Truman
administration policies.
Other highlights of the MacAr-
thur address included:
l. A charge that there has been
q startling and dangerous shift"
IN basic United States military
policy which forces the armed
forces to soften our blows and
send men into battle with neither
promise nor hope of victory"
2. A call for this country to
bolster the defense of allies with
out depicting our own resources
and only if those nations pledge
their own lives and full resources
to secure their own defense"
Tone of Distrust.
The whole tone of Gen. Mac
Arthur's address was one of dis
trust of the Administrations for
eign and military policies.
And while he never mentioned
President Truman by name. there
was no doubt he was referring
to the President and next years
election when he said:
Il have faith that the wisdom
and determination of the Arneri-
can people are not going to per-
NIT our country to continue down
the road to national jeopardy"
And then the general said.
Americans will not be fooled by
the bombast of violent propaganda
and vulgar language which in
evitably meets every honest
criticism directed at the govern
ment. They were neither fooled

The subcommittee reported that
the basic integrity Of the Fed

branches, is relatively high.
..Most public servants, it was
agreed, are honest and faithful .
lit added. "We also believe that
the ethical standards of public
officials are probably higher than
those prevailing in business and
other walks of life. :. There is
nothing In the testimony, how
ever, when considered as a whole,
to make either the public or pub
lie servants complacent.''
The subcommittee stressed the
point that the ethics of people
in private life are. a factor. The
report suggests that double stand

most men realize and are, per-
haps, at the. root Of the problem

In another place the report had
this to say:

would be little honest necessity

Gen. Macarthur bitterly assailed

Mr.. Ravendal told foreign cor

men and Senators in Washington
that they were receiving thou
sands of letters from all parts of

Two Storm Cenfers
Reported in East and
In Area Of Chicago
BY the Associated Press

More crippling weather in the
form of snow, rain. sleet and cold
hit wide areas of the country to-
day.
Fresh snow and cold struck the
snow-covered and chilled Mid
continent.
Heavy rain and winds of gale
force swept over much of the East
ern States and into parts of the
South.
Transportation in hundreds of
cities was disrupted after nearly
a week of near-record snowfalls.
Severe wintry weather has hit
areas from the Pacific Northwest
to the Atlantic Seaboard for a
week-and the winter season does
not start officially until tomorrow.
Death Toll Now 249.
The stormy, frigid weather of
the last week has caused 249
deaths.
In South Dakota, hit by bliz-
yards almost daily for more than
two weeks, Gov. Sigurd Anderson
considered calling for Federal aid.
Chicago, with more snow this
season than for a normal winter
of four months, was battling a.
serious transportation problem.
Similar situations were reported
in a number of Midwestern cities.
Two vigorous storm centers
were reported by the Weather Bu-
reau today, one in the vicinity of
Chicago, the second near New
York City. The storms brought
rain and snow over wide areas
from the Mississippi Valley east
ward to the Atlantic Coast.
Snow fell over much of the
Great Lakes region and the Upper
Mississippi Valley and in North
ern New England.
Heavy Rain Fall.
Rain pelted areas to the south
and east, with heavy falls in the
Middle Atlantic States and in
some sections of the Atlantic Sea-
board. Southeast winds of nearly
40 miles an hour, with gusts of
gale force, were reported in New
York City.
Temperatures rose in the rain
belt. In New York it was SO
early today, a climb of more than
80 degrees in "a hours.
But there were sub-zero read
ings again today in the northern
plains, with a low of 26 below
at Bismarck. N. Oak, and-22 at
Miles City, Mont.
The sub-zero blasts moved
eastward and a cold wave was
predicted for most of the North
Central region tonight and to-
morrow.
Cold Weather in Texas.
The cold weather also extended
into the Oklahoma-Texas Pan-'
handle, with temperatures drop
ping to near zero early today in
some areas. 1t was near zero in
Kansas City.
