Temptation to Soviet

Most dangerous fact about the present international situation is that four important countries now face elections. This is probably a greater temptation to the Soviet to strike than all other political con- alterations combined.
 The countries facing major elec- tions are England, certain to stage an election in the fall; France, due for general elections this summer Italy, which has important munir cipal elections this year; and of course the U. S. A., which is already warming up for the great four year political tug of war to see who will be the next president of the United States.
 Chief difficulty with elections is their effect on international rela- tions. The British labor govern ment, for instance, cannot support our position regarding Communist China without getting a deluge of criticism from a powerful and quite vocal section of voters.
 The French government cannot spend too much on it's budget for European rearmament without risking defeat at the polls.
 Meanwhile in the United States the Macarthur debate has already become a political row. closely linked with the 1852 presidential race.
 Most important of all. pending elections make it difficult for the Democracies to act in a hurry in case Moscow should move on one of the many potential war fronts.
 All of which is one reason why the year 1851 is such a crucial one when it comes to the question of peace or war.

in rough tumble debate, don't Know the tricks of backstage wire- pulling.
 However, it took a lady to out smart the most powerful Republi- can in the Senate - Bob Taft of Ohio.
 Last fall, Sen. Margafet Chase Smith. Republican of Maine, was bumped off the Senate 1nvestiga- ting Committee. The man who in- itiated her exit was Sepator Me Carthy of Wisconsin who wanted revenge for Mrs. Smiths "Declar- ation of Conscience" in which she urged a fair hearing for those recklessly and falsely smeared by Mccarthy.
 However, Mrs Smith would not have been dropped from the irvest- igating committee had it not been for Senator Taft's covert support for Mccarthy. It was Taft, rather than Mccarthy, who really gave the ax to the lady senator from Maine.
 Mrs. Smith had little to say at the time. She smiled sweetly, bided her time, and worked at another committee job Investigating the Maryland elections.
 Several times, Senator Taft tried to pour cold water on this Mary land probe, claiming that the cleo ton scandals in Maryland were peanuts compared to what hap pened in Ohio. The elections com mittee should take good look al Ohio, he said, if it wanted to un- earth real skulduggery.
 So Mrs. Smith quietly took Sen- ator Taft at his word Senator Taft is quite right" she sweetly told her Democratic colleagues or the election subcommittee, 'wt should investigate the Ohio elec- tionp

Strong Statements

Sen. Wayne Morse's recent state- ment denouncing General MacAr- thur, despite the fact that most of his fellow Republicans take the opposite view, came after some in- teresting probing of U. s. public opinion.
 The Oregon Senator went up to normally Republican Minnesota a short time ago to address a mid west conference of young Republi- can clubs. There he made some strong statements about MacAr- thur
 Our party" Morse told his fellow Republicans, ''can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by follow ing MacArthur and involving the United States in an all-out war with China without allies.
 If we must fight to preserve our liberties" Morse continued, i've should fight at the time and place selected by us, not by the enemy
 The other issue," Morse said, lis whether civilians or the mili- tary shall guide the destinies of our foreign, policy. We can look south to Argentina to see what happens when military dictatorship takes over"
 Judging from the applause Sen- ator Morse decided that there was considerable COP support for his stand against MacArthur.

BOOKER WASHINGTON BIRTH
PLACE, Va The eyes of the
world are focused on the proceed
ings, now unfolding in the United
States District Court in Washing
ton, d. c., involving the eminent
scholar, writer and world-traveler,
DR.. w. E. B. Dubois.
The point at issue seems to be
this: the Government is attempt
ing to prove that the Peace In
formation Center, located in New
York City, spread propaganda bas-
ed on Soviet idealogies in behalf
Of the World Congress Of the De-
tenders Of Peace which sponsored
the Stockholm PeaceAppeal calling
for a ban on the atomic bomb.
Dr.. W. E. B. Dubois, along with
other former officers of the Peace
information Center are charged
with failing to register the Cent
er as a foreign agent.
Apparently the trial of Dubois
will not determine whether he is
or is not a Communist. The big
question is: Was the Peace In
formation Center acting in the in
terest Of a foreign government,
an diff so, why did it not register
as a foreign agent?
All Of this is of no particular
concern to US except that Dubois

Washington over the education of
Negroes.
The differences Of opinion ex-
pressed by these two men were re-
solved with the passage Of time.
Fortunately, the theory Of Wash
lngton was proved beyond the
slightest doubt when the United
States became involved in World
War l. The lack of skilled Negroes
during that period seriously handi-
capped this nations productive
capacity. 1t was then that DR.. Du-
bois recanted with the frank adj
mission that Booker T. Washing
ton was right in his advocacy of
industrial training for Negroes.
Even though it took a presidential
directive in World War 1.-THE
celebrated Executive Order 1902
to assure employment opportuni-
ties for minorities in defense
plants employable Negroes were
still largely in the unskilled class

1t has taken the better part of
thVee generations for Negroes to
learn that their best chances for
economic security in America must
be in the skilled trades. The do
minant group has realized that

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (INS)-
Everyone probably remembers the
old wheeze concerning the gentle
man who attended the formal din
ner party and later was asked
what the ladies wore.
II don't know" was his honest
reply, 81 didn't look beneath the
table,"
By and large, I would say the
situation above table this season IS
status quo. But, lawsy me, what
goes on beneath the table! If wo-
mems skirts get any wider, it will
only be possible to seat n women
to a table in the near future.
1 am particularly conscious OF
the situation because | have been
doing a speck of travelling lately,
and, as a result, n of my proud
est boasts is in the dust.
1t has been my contention for
a god many years that | could go
round the world and be suitable
dressed for all occasions and chimes
with the contents of no more than
two mediums sized %suitcases.
AS a matter Of fact, | have even
proved it a time or two. But this
season, every time | go out OF
town, l am followed-by a thea
trical wardrobe trunk, just to hold
my p%etticoats.
After s P. NJ. this season, any
w~ell-dressed woman looks like a
cross between a boudoir lamp and
a bale Of goods caught in a re-
volving door. Naturally, the only
reason I submit to all this chi-chi
and nonsense is because [ want
to look like the other girls, only
better.
It's not enough to own one or two
of these circus-tent petticoats and
crinolines. With some cocktail and
| evening dresses it is absolutely de
| rigeur or nuts to wear as many as
three and four p~etticoats, the con-
| tents of which would clothe a Zulu
regiment.

that looks and feels like window
screening and which I suspect, is
window screening in disguise.
By the time I get into full even
ing gear, with three or four OF
these petticoats under a skirt like
an awning, I can stand alone al
right, just like it says in the ads
for the simple reason that no one
can possibly get within six feet OF
me. It amt cozy, but it's chic, il
that's any consolation.

squeeze this kind of a get-up in
to an ordinary taxi or private car.
And how to get a woman under
full sail around New York was a
problem until my spouse solved it
brilliantly. When we are now in
vited out to a formal party, he
hires a horse van. These are pad
ded and more comfortable than the
ordinary truck, which he discarded
after the first try.
Only one Of these petticoats has
given me any real pleasure, as
divorced from the satisfaction Of
having as many as the other girls.
And that's the taffeta one. The
first time | put it on, it rustled
as I walked, and it carried me
back years and years to Mama and
her RUSTY petticoat.
When | was a little girl, RUSTY
taffeta petticoats We're, very
fashionable. Every woman, or SO
it seemed, in Caldwell, Ida, had
one except mama, who was so
pretty, hankered for a RUSTY pet
ticoat for a long time before she
got one.
I don't know how many 2O-cent
dozen Plymouth Rock eggs mama
and [ sold that autumn to get the
RUSTY petticoat. Or how many s.
cent quarts Of jersey milk that
were pure, rich golden cream half
way down the bottle.
I longed for mama to rustic like
the other ladies, and I was over
joyed when. the day came that the
egg-and-milk money permitted ma
ma to buy a lovely golden brown,
shot taffeta petticoat that rustled
like music when she walked. Oh,
it was beautiful, and so was she
But mama had good sense. One
was enough. Mama knew how to
deal with petticoat fever. I wish
her daughter did.
