Bank ForecIoses Mortgages

effort to recoup losses on loans tc

The films include arch of Tri-

Germans into the military de-
fenSe picture of the West. No
decision was taken in Rome.
The discussions were postponed
for another time next February
when the same actors will meet
under the sunny skies of Portu-
gal for another pow-wow.
The military men of the
NATO whose jobs do not de-
pend on electoral votes and
parliamentary maneuvers are
unanimous in their desire to
get at least 250.000 German
fighting men in the ranks of
their still weak armies. Ac-
cording to an optimistic eval-
uation from Gen. Eisenhower,
our forces are at present just
sufficient to create a stalemate
in Europe should the Russians
decide in the near future to
change the cold war into a
shooting war. This evaluation
is said to be based principally
on the availability of six Amer
ican divisions in Germany by
the end of February.
1t may be that the political
leaders of Europe are aware of
the pressing need to include
the Germans. But they are
politicians and feel that any
concession to the military point
of view would deprive them of
their Offices through an adverse
vote in their parliaments.
According to reports from
American political observers. a
determined backing of the mill
tary standpoint by the Ameri-
can Government might give
these political leaders an out
with their own legislatures.
But our diplomacy is con-
Quoted in polite manner. This
is not interpreted as desire
to cooperate but as an indi-
cation that our political men
are even more confused about
what to do in our new role of
champions of the Western civ
ilizatlon than they are them
selves. And Europe fears that
when the blind lead the blind
both eventually will fall in an
ineXtricable hole.

Father on Way TO Claim

cohesion in a realistic organi-
zation of a military force in
Europe are giving the Kremlin
the feeling that the West talks
a good deal but cannot act.
The Rome meetings of the
NATO attended by top diplo-
mats and military men of that
coalition have proved a flop.
There were a great many
speeches and declarations of
undying friendship at the din
ners and receptions given for
these great policy makers. But,
as Gen. Eisenhower has pointed
out bluntly. there can be no real
rearmament of Europe with the
hope of defeating any aggres-
sion attempt of the Reds, unless
the Germans are willing to join
this military coalition of their
own volition. And the Germans
are giving only little thought
to this until they obtain a peace
treaty granting them full SOW
ereignty and equality in the
Western concert of nations.
The French and Benelux
countries are definitely opposed
to any such measure. It is highly
doubtful whether the parlia-
ments of these Western Eu-
ropean states would accept even
French Premier Rene Pleven's
cockeyed idea of a European
army drawing the same pay,
wearing the same uniform, COM
manded in only one language
presumably French - and re-
sponsible to a presently non
existent central European de-
dense department. The British
already have announced official
ly that they will have no part
of it while the Germans are
describing the plan as pre-
posterouS.
Gen. Eisenhower himself ap-
preciates the lack of realism of
such a suggestion which is not
being backed by any concrete
proposition for an economic and
political union of all the West
ern European countries. And
speaking only as a military man
he has served notice that some-
thing must be done to bring the

Republicans from winning in
1924. these Democrats overlook
one or two things. One Is that
it was Coolidge who was run

the mess had been pretty well
cleaned up by campaign time;
another, that mink coats are

that people were generally hap

another world war.
The all-important issue, of
course, is, and will be, foreign
policy. But the decisive issue
may be mink coats-the thing
that people understand.
This being the case, the Sen
ator may naturally believe he
has something politically valu-
able to offer his party in his

AS interesting as anything
that has happened in politics
lately is the statement of Sena-
tor Estes Kefauver of Tennessee
that he is permitting his friends
to enter his name in the Cali
fornia presidential primary.
While the immediate assump-
ton has been that this is a con-
ditional candidacy, subject to
withdrawal in case President
Truman decides to run, the
Tennesseean hasn't said so. On
the contrary, when asked about
that by Los Angeles reporters
he said he could not say"
Senator Kefauver is a serious
sort of fellow. He seldom does
anything impulsively. A good
deal of quiet thought is certain
to have preceded his decision
to let the people pass on him
self and his works, most particu-
larly his crusade against crime
and political corruption. And he
must have reached the conclu-
sion that corruption is likely to
be a decisive, perhaps the de-
cisive, issue in the coming cam
paign. In this he would be in
agreement with MANY Republi-
cans, who are determined to
make it the issue. rather than
with the many leaders in his
own party who think the excite
ment over mink coats and such
will have subsidized by summer
If this is his thinking. the
Senator may not be mistaken.

vice president last night called
for change in the Wage Stabili-

of mounting profits and the ris-
ing cost of living"
Either stop profiteering or we
are going to demand more wages, "
Allan S. Haywood warned in

The veteran labor leader spoke
to delegates to the 18th annual

have been negotiating in Pitts

union leaders say may set a pat
tern for the whole steel industry
Mr.. Haywood gave no predic.
ton as to the outcome, but was
applauded when he told delegates
that Ernest J. Moran, president
of the Maryland CIO Council, has
pledged the organization to sup
port the steelworkers "in their
fight"
Earlier, Jack Kroll, national
director of the CLOS Political
Action Committee, told the dele

which was circulated in the cam
paign in which Republican SEN
ator Butler unseated the Mary

Mr.. Moran said his group "prob-
ably will take a position with

The dogs keepers, Mr.. and Mrs.
William T. Wootton of 9O4 Rit-
tenhouse street NV, and Pvt.

to Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark F. King in Municipal Court.
The hearing was to determine if
the Woottons should be charged
with allowing the dog to run at
large, but Mr.. King said no GRIM
inal action would be taken. It
was brought out that the dog had
been tied in the back yard but
had escaped.
The Woottons described the dog
as friendly, playful and lust m
the last stages of puppyhood.
Il always claimed the dog was
no good because he was not ag-
gressive enough" Mr.. Wootton
observed.
Boxers have ugly faces but
they're the most gentle dogs in
the world" Mrs. Wootton said.
Why don't police take a course
and learn about dogs"
Pvt. Mendonca reported that
after the dog tore off his glove,
the policeman started for the cali
box. En- route, he added, the dog
jumped at his face and then got
the policeman's left hand in his
mouth.
When he couldn't shake off the
dog, he said. he pulled his revolver
and killed it.
After hearing both sides, Mr..
King observed that if he himself
had had a pistol and didn't know
the dog, he would have been
prompted to do what the police
man did.

Wilson Sees Truman
On Defense Progress
After Senator'S S Blast
By Joseph A. Fox
Sfor Stoff Corresnondent

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. l.
President Truman today sat down
with Defense Mobilizer Charles E.
Wilson to talk over the defense
production program which has
come under fire from the Senate
Preparedness subcommittee head
ed by Senator johnson, Demo-
crat, of Texas.
Mr.. Wilson was due to fly into
the Presidents vacation retreat
shortly after lunch, and will head
back toward Washington later in
the afternoon.
Brings November Report.
Senator johnson has charged in
effect that arms output for the
Western powers is tagging be-
cause the country is getting but
ter instead of guns, and while
his attack is leveled at the De-
fense Department, it seems Ger
tain that President Truman will
look to the defense mobilizer for
the entire picture.
White House Press Secretary
Joseph Short said that Mr.. Will
son would bring down his No
vember report to go over with the
President. The Secretary ex-
planned that the Wilson trip was
arranged before the Senate group
leveled its dual blast at the pro-
duction program.
Gen. Smith Also on Hand.
When the subject came up at
the Presidents news conference
late Thursday, he said he felt that
the best efforts of the country
were being pushed forward to ad-
vance the defense program, but
he added firmly that if there was
any falldown, he would find that
out and do something about it.
He recalled that he had some ex-
perience along that line-a refer
ence to his activities in World
War II as head of a Senate inves-
tigating committe.
The President yesterday also
welcomed another key official in
the defense set-up, Gen. Walter
Bedell Smith, director of the Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency. Gen
Smith will be at the Little White
House" until tomorrow.
