shines in all of the requirements of
appearance and performance.
In her first number on opening

He said conditions are very grave
Then he added a prediction there
will be no World War III if labor
management disputes do not cut
American production and if Con-
gress restores the reductions that
have been made in his defense
and foreign-aid budgets.
The recent production losses and
the congressional move to trim
military and foreign-aid spending,
the President declared, are right
down Stalin's alley.
Mr.. Truman said also:
HE has no present intention
of announcing his choice among
the various candidates for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton. But he reserves the right
to do so when and if he chooses
and he said the 194S election shows
he's good Judge on political mat

Act at this stage. He declined COM

it is before the Supreme Court.
3-There was no politics in the

tion of credit controls Wednesday.
The board uses its control powers,
he said, to meet threats of infla-
ton and deflation alike. He added
he hopes Congress won't get the
idea these control powers are no
longer needed.

platform to be adopted at Chicago

connection with this anniversary

Soberly, the President replied
tha since that date this country

tanning lasting world peace.
To date, through the years of
the cold war and Korea, we have
been successful, he added.
But, said the President, condi-
tions at the present time are very
grave.
He mentioned the steel dispute,
the oil strike and threatened la

In the same breath he spoke
OF the critical attitude of Congress

Appeal to 'NeutroIists'

The men of the Kremlin are overlooking
nothing in their effort to block ratification of
the Anglo French American peace contract with
Bonn and the six-nation treaty on the European
Defense Community. Their latest maneuver to
that end has taken the form of a propaganda
offensive in which the satellite countries are
appealing directly to the Western Parliaments
to vote against the two historic documents.
Since many members of those parliaments have
"neutraist" sentiments, the appeal is poten-
TALLY dangerous, and vigorous leadership will
be required to keep it from succeeding.
Red Czechoslovakia has made the opening
move in this offensive. 1t has done so by having
its puppet National Assembly adopt an 85O-word
message for formal delivery through diplomatic
channels-to the parliaments OF Britain, France,
italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg
The message besides calling for a mo" vote,
declares in substance that the peace contract
ana the EDO treaty are American war agree

Almost every family, even the poorest,
kept such a bag and handed the coins
down through the ages, probably on
the supposition that they would be
worth something.
Unfortunately, most of the old coins
of that time are worth little more today
than then. For every trade dollar worth
real money now. there are hundreds
of specimens not worth any more than
they cost.
Yet it was pretty gesture and the
finding Of such bag of coins in the
attic or in an old trunk was always in
teresting.
One small boy found such collection
and all unknowing started dropping
the coins into the collection plate at
church.
While the worthy pastor may have
believed that he was being cheated. ac-
tually he was getting real value.
If one hands one of the old coins to
clerk today, it will be received as
worthless. in practically every case, with
the added implication that one is try
ing to cheat.
The average human has pretty keen
eye for this sort of thing and prides
himself on it. He seldom knows any
thing at all about the value of old coins
and should inform himself. since some
day he may loose a fortune when he
thinks that he is being pretty smart.

zen. MACARTHUR, in or out of mill
~ tary garb, joins long roll of ma
tional political convention keynoters
whose ranks are anything but uniform.
A few literally talked their way into
high Office. Some reused dispirited dele
gates. Others coined phrases which still
echo df they didn't bounce back
through the corridors of hot partisan
times. Most of them faded away into
footnotes Of soon-forgotten proceedings.
Selection of Gen. Macarthur as a
sound-oh and send-off for the Repub-
lican National Convention in Chicago
is unusual and in part unprecedented.
He is the first General Of the Army
and probably the first strictly military
man-to take that assignment.
His duty to deliver the keynote ad-
dress without doubling in brass as tenn
porary chairman is something new.
Moreover. the keynote chairmen pro
tenn. customarily has been delegate,
which Gen. Macarthur is not.
Seekers for significant Signs-either
in precedents or in possible strokes of
political lightning-will find that the
nominating odds usually run against
the keynoter, even though the conven-
tions generally agree loudly with him.
No keynoter ever walked from the
platform with presidential nomination
in his grasp. although Warren G. Hard
ing got it four years later in 1920.
Alben w. Barkley anG Charles w. Fair
banks come to mind as a couple of tenn
porary chairmen whose opening-gavel
words may have moved them toward
the vice presidency.
Elihu Root. Homer s. Cummings,
Harold E. StaSsen and Earl Warren did
not count the day personally lost on
which they keynoted conventions. And
Alton B. Parker, who had been de-
feated as Democratic nominee for Presi-
dnt in 1904. was not too proud to make
q fighting keynote speech in 1912.
Other keynoters who have not fallen
into the oblivion Of the speeches they
made include Carl Schurz. Theodore M.
Pomeroy. Senator John Sharp williams
of Mississippi, Gov. Martin H. Glynn
Of New York, Senator Pat Harrison of
Mississippi, Claude q. Bowers, former
Gov. Dwight Green Of Illinois and SEN
ator L. ]. Dickinson Of Iowa.
Unlike television, which with radio
has made the choice Of a temporary
chairman much more important and
