Guard Arranges For
Use Of Fair Bldgs.
Battery c, 19Srd, Due To Be Trans
ferred To Harrington Shortly

Brigadier General, the Adjutant
General Joseph j. Scannell, to-
gether with members of his staff,
announced this week that a meet
ing had been held with officials and
directors of the Kent and Sussex
Fair Association, relative to the use
of buildings for Battery c, 19Srd,
AAA AW Bn., which has been as
signed to the Harrington area and
will be transferred from Milford as
soon as the necessary buildings can
be put in shape.
According to General Scannell'
the Fair Association officials have
tentatively agreed on the use of the
All and Agricultural buildings. 1t
is the idea of the National Guard
officials to seek the necessary
funds from the Legislature, when
that group meets again to build a
modern armOry structure in Har-
rington to care for the unit. Until
such time, however, as the funds
are available, the buildings offered
by the Fair Association will be mOst
I acceptable for drill purposes.

Delaware Turkey And
Apple Production Up
Trend Toward More Turkey Pro-
ductiOn Is Surprising

Fifteen per cent more turkeys,
and ten per cent more apples in
Delaware this year. That's the
word from the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service.
The turkey trend is surprising,
says Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics. Last year, growers said
they planned on only a one per
cent increase, because of low hOl-
day turkey prices. But rising
prices during the spring changed
the outlook. The $4,000 turkeys
raised in the Diamond State this
year is the largest number since
! 1946.

Nightmares in Peace PIanninq
Stote Department Heads Expect Russians Will Throw Up
Road Block at Coming Japanese Treoty Ceremonies
John Henry:

State Department officials are
fearful today that the next con-
versational road block to be
thrown up by the Russians will
be at the Japanese Treaty cere-
monies.
At this point the Russians
have not even accepted the in
.vitation to be present in San
Francisco during the week Of
September 3. There have, how
ever, been some StraWS in the
wind to indicate their intention
Of being on hand. Gromyko,
for example, was pleasantly
polite when the official invita-
ton was extended, inquiring
about expected length of the
sessions, size of delegations, and
so forth. In the past 10. days
it is known that the Russians
have been sounding out some
of the other members Of the Far
East Commission on the make
up of their delegations.
Washington has been hoping
for a short and harmonious
ceremony extending from Tues
day afternoon, September 4,
through the climactic signing of
the treaty on Saturday morning.
President Truman is expected
to attend and to speak. All dele
CATION heads will have the
privilege of speaking, Of course.
but it is hoped at the State De-
partment that this opportunity
will not lead to debate on the
substantive provisions Of the
treaty. If the Russians choose
to attend, the party very likely
will take on a different COM
plexion.
One of the mild nightmares
haunting the Washington plan
ners is that the Korean peace
talks may string along until
treaty time, when an atmosphere
OF benign agreement may take
possession of the Red nego-
tiators. An outbreak Of complete
peace on the eve of the treaty
ceremonies could give a Russian

delegation fine opportunity to
press the issue of Communist
China and North Korea repre-
sentation at the pact table.
While such a proposal could
not collect a majority of voting
support from the so or so dele
cations expected. it could pre-
cipitate a protracted wrangle,
perhaps requests for a recess
pending instructions from home
governments and a general up
setting of hopes for quiet har-
mony.
Meanwhile, the current draft
of the treaty continues in cir
culation among the interested
nations with a target date of
August 13 set for the launching
Of a final" draft. Reaction
thus far has not deviated sub
stantially from the expected.
The Philippines are generally
unhappy, mostly over the rep
arations issue, and may not
even sign. India, rather con-
Sistently disappearing Western
conduct in Asiatic affairs these
days. has proposed several
amendments.
Despite these and other reser-
vations, no major overhauling of
the document is likely. The
United States Government feels
that it was the principal par
ticipant in the war against ia
pan, that the cost to us in
money and casualties was high,
that we have spent literally in
money and effort to assist the
rehabilitation not only of Japan
but of most of the other nations

Bunche refused because he did
not wish to bring up his family
in segregated Washington. 1t
rejoiced in his work in Pales-
tine and pushed him for the
U. N. post he preferred.
1t has two fears, however. One
is Of appearing to pull irons out
of the fire for aspiring politi-
clans with large Negro voting
blocs. The other is of setting
precedents for naming i'm
portant officials because they
represent important racial or
religious minorities.
Several months ago a Negro
delegation called on the Sec
retary OF State and in some
what peremptory tones insisted
that more Negroes should have
better diplomatic posts. A fast
man with a touchy question, Mr..
Acheson quietly expressed dis

stress the issue Of quality rather
than equality.
He said that he had asked
Mr.. Bunche to be an Assist
ant Secretary because he con-
sidered him the best qualified
man for the job in view. He
added he would always try to
appoint the best qualified men,
regardless of color.
The middlemen of this pulling
and hauling are found at the
Democratic National Committee.

This Certainly Isn't Fair Play
Truman Used Major Networks Put Across Political Speech
At Supposedly Non-Porson Ceremony in Detroit
David Lowrence::

The party in power has a
tremendous advantage in the
influence it wields in preju-
dicing public opinion, but this
advantage was never better il
lustrated than in the circum-
stances under which President
Truman delivered his speech
last Saturday in Detroit.
Here was a supposedly nom
partisan ceremony-the cele-
bration of the 250th anniversary
of the founding of the city of
Detroit. All the major radio
networks and televiSion stations
turned over their facilities freely
so that the Presidents address
might be carried in full.
This privilege is given a Presi-
dent on the assumption that
his speeches are non-political.
Otherwise. he would have to pay
for broadcast time, just as do
spokeSmen or candidates OF po-
litical parties.
But what did Mr.. Truman do
with the facilities given him for
a non-political address? Using
the familiar technique of attack
on unnamed groups of his op-
ponents, he aSsailed those who
disagree with him and reviewed
the record of the Democratic
Party with a boaStfulness about
its achievements that was un-
mistakably partisan.
Although a Republican Sena-
tor. Homer Ferguson of Michi-
gan, was the man who invited
the President to come tc De-
troit for the occasion, accom-
panied him by plane on the trip
from Washington and sat on the
platform during the address.
here is what Mr.. Truman, after
discussing the unemployment
situation in the auto industry.
said in that speech:

Oil Is Not ChoosY Between Political Porties
'oliticoI Parties

At the inquiry into Mr..
Pauley's nomination, the then
Secretary Of Interior Harold L.
Ickes created quite a sensation,
as may be recalled. He testi-
fed under oath that Mr.. Pauley
had told him in his (Mr. IckesD
Office some time before that
filing of the suit would be bad
politically, and that, if it were
withheld. several hundred thou
sand dollars could be raised for
the Democratic Party among
California oil men. Mr.. Ickes
referred to his diary for his
testimony.
Subsequently, also under oath,
Mr.. Pauley denied this. as he
did other charges that he had
exerted his influence in other
quarters to stop the Govern
ment suit and to push the nulli-
flying bill through Congress.
So that was that-considerable
smoke, at least. Not long after
ward, Harold Ickes' resignation
was accepted. Also Mr.. Pauley's
nomination was withdrawn by
President Truman at Mr.
Pauley'S request.
However all that might be,
it was no secret that oil inter-
ests were Pumping for State
control, and that is still what
they want. They won an over
whelming victory in the House
this week, 265 to 109 for State
control, well over the two-thirdS

politics. they select some op-
ponent for a reply broadcast but
not necessarily the most effec-
tive speaker. nor do they clear
all the networks to present such
a program simultaneously.
Thus. for instance, President
Truman banged away at General
Macarthur in his Detroit speech.
although he didn't mention the
general by name. A week be-
fore. on the other hand, when
General Macarthur spoke before
the Massachusetts, Legislature,
his address was not carried on
many radio stations, and only
one television network gave a
view Of the occasion and then
only by film an hour after the
speech was delivered. Yet it
was one of the most newsWorthy
speeches delivered this year re-
fiecting an opposition viewpoint.
The broadcasting companies
are controlled in a sense by the
party in power, because they are
beholden to the . ederal Com
munications Commission, whose
members are appointed by the
President. Not long ago q ~
ing, affecting millions of dol
lars of revenue, on the kind of
color television to be permitted
hereafter was awarded to one
of the broadcaSting networks
over the protest of a competing
company. This is an example
of what's at stake in winning
or losing administration favor.
1t is possible, with the vast
control over facilities Of broad
casting and televiSion, for the
administration to disseminate
political propaganda and unfair
attacks, just as the President
did at Detroit, without ade-
quate facilities being given to
anyone else on the other side
to reach the same audience in
reply. This certainly isn't fair
play.

leadership in establishing the
formula for peace in the Pacific.
This realistically tough line Of
reasoning was laid on the table
in recent weeks in London and
Paris, to the end result that the
British government is now a CO.
sponsor of the treaty draft and
the French have indicated their
own approval of the terms.
Other qualms have been allayed
by formulation of a three-way
security pact between the
United States, Australia and
New Zealand
If the signing goes on as
scheduled, there will still be q
lapse Of time before the required
ratification makes the treaty
effective. By provision Of the
document the effective date is'
reached when a majority of the
signatories, necessarily includ-
ing the United States, have rati-
fed. In our case, ratification by
the Senate is not expected until
a new session of Congress con-
veneS in January.
