Defends Steel Seizure
Having followed the events leading up
to the steel seizure by President Truman,
and having read thousands of words
of opinion expressed by editorials, COL
~umnists and armchair constitutional
lawyers, I have been bordering the semi
historical outbursts that appear in this
column concerning constitutionality, la
Dor "bosses," Americanism, socialism,
and all of the semantic confusion that
clouds the mind of many Of these people.
"Schoolteacher" writes that all red
blooded Americans are behind Judge
Pines decision, failing to realize that
her contacts comprise only molecule
of the entire population. Those letters
now clamoring for impeachment of the
President will no doubt scream for
heads to roll in the Supreme Court if
it justifieS the seizure.
For these rather childish outbursts we
can blame the bulk of the newspapers,
The Star included. for prejudging the
issue before the Supreme Court ruled
on the matter. The Star, like most other
newspapers, has allowed it's anti-Truman
malice to interfere with the rational
attitude necessary in such issues. This
stereotyped response is now exhibited
by large segment Of the population.

Punishment Doesn't Fit Crime

Is modern sentimentalist.
AS it is, fear we are entirely too
tender and humane with our criminal
population. The irony of it all is that
we are becoming the laughing stock of
other countries, even the most liberal, by
the manner in which we are permitting
the hoodlum empire to become so mas
terful and arrogant. One insult after an
other is thrust at us by individual and
organized hoodlums; yet we continue to
search for ways by which Ito restore
their confidence in humanity" as though
they were capable of having confidence
in anything other than their own filth
and degradation.
There is mistaken notion which SEN
timentalism has helped to establish. 1t
is that criminals are the result of i'm
moral environment Of poor communities.
Immoral environment exists anywhere,
and there can be found almost as many
criminals from so-called good" families
of the finest of communities. The juve-
nile delinquency of Chevy Chase and
suburban Maryland is perfect example,

the road to professional felony.

our penal institutions become nurseries
and rest homes for the outcasts and mis-
fits of society. or that sentiment becomes
such that our States will dispose of capt.
tai punishment when there are so many
foul and brutal crimes for which it can
be used.
Let us. as supposedly practical and
intelligent people, awaken and come to
our senses before 1t is entirely too late.
If we are not careful, surely we will fall
victim to the internal enemy, the domes-
tic criminals. Then we will have no de-

Pravda Halls Chance
I'm Soviet Statutes
AS Historic Event
By The Associoied Press

MOSCOW, Aug. 21.-Pravda, the
official newspaper of the Soviet
Communist Party, said today the
new statutes which the 10Th party
congress will approve in October
will mark a historic event."
The newspaper stressed the i'm
portance of that portion of the
new statutes which call for
Strengthening by all means the
active defense of the Soviet home
land from aggressive actions of its
enemies"
Pravda published yesterday the
new statutes which are to be ap-
proved by the Congress, the first
to be called in 13 years. In its
editorial comment today. it did
not touch on that section of the
statutes which indicates that the
Politburo, as such, will no longer
exist and that its functions, along
with those of the organizations
bureau (Orbguro) will be COM
bined in q new Presidium.
Pravda also failed to comment
on the fact that the party is be-
ing renamed, dropping the brack-
eted historic word "Bolsheviks'
from its title, so that it becomes
only "the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union.
The Communist Party, said
Pravda. will go into it's 10Th Con-

Steel Output in U.S.. Double
Russia S Goal for 1855
BY the Associated Press

The United States now is turn
ing out more than twice as much
steel as Russia hopes to produce
by 1855 under the Soviet'S newest
five-year plan.
A comparison also shows the
United States is producing more
than four times as much oil, three
times as much electric power and
1R times as much coal as the
Soviet has set for it's targets.
American steel mills are now
handling 95.4 million metric tons
of crude steel annually. Moscow
hopes to step up production to
Al million metric tons by the end
of 1855. an increase of so per cent
over its present output.
The United States is producing
sos million metric tons of oil,
compared with Russia's goal of
I03 million tons, and 523 million
metric tons of coal as compared
with RuSsia's objective of 1868 mil
lion.
American power plants are pro-
ducing 432 billion kilowatt hours
of electric power as compared with
1924 billion kilowatt hours, Rus
sia's 1855 goal.

A solid clue pointing to Rus
sia's next ruler may emerge from
the full-dress meeting of the
Communist Party Congress in
Moscow October S.
American diplomats will not be
surprised if tough. 50-year-old
Gorgi Malenkov steps up as Josef
Stalin's personal choice as next
Russian prime minister.
In fact. some suspect Stalin's
aim in staging the whole affair
may be to give a formal hint as
to who the next boss should be-
This may be Stains way, they
believe, of lessening the possibil-
ity of a bloody struggle for power
within the Communist high COM
mand after he dies.
Until they have more time to
analyze Moscow's announcement
of the calling of the first Com
munist Congress since 1899
American diplomats say their view
is a theory rather than a con-
sidered opinion.
But here is what they think:
Stalin's heir apparent will be
the man who is chosen to be
chairman of the new Praesidium
to be organized at the meeting to
replace the Politburo.
Might Choose Himself.
The 12-man Politburo, now the
top governing body. has no chair

Clue to Stain Heir May Come
From Party Congress Meeting

Communist in Russia next to
Stain.
1t is entirely possible that
Stain himself will be designated
chairman of the new Praesidium.
But. if so. why for the first time
since 1925 is he not to give the
main address to the Congress,
the report of the Central Com
mittee?
This is a sort of state of the
union speech summing up Com
munist stewardship of the Soviet
Union since the last Congress
met. In this case it will cover a
13-year period and will be espe-
cially important.
Malenkov, a Communist party
wheel who worked his way up
from the ranks like Stain, is now
scheduled to give this report, the
most important thing on the
agenda.
M0lotov Not Mentioned.
Furthermore, neither Marshal
Beria, head of the Soviet secret
police and Deputy Minister Malen-
kov's main rival, nor Deputy Pre-
miem v. M. Molotov, is scheduled
at this time to play any impor-
tant role in the Congress party
session. This may be a clue that
Molotov is being pushed into the
background. since he read the new
f1ve-year plan at each of the two
previous Congress meetings, in
1884 and 1889.
Molotov is 62 and his age has
been considered a factor against
him in speculation on Stains sue
|ceSSor.
American officials know little
about Malenkov except that sew
eral years ago he launched a de-
termined campaign to make sure
the floors of all Soviet factories
were kept clean.
He also was a key figure in
setting up the Cominform, the
guiding Soviet policy bureau for
Russia's Eastern Europe satel-
lites. At present, he is a mem
Der of the Central Committee Sec
|retariat under Stain.
May Surprise Experts.
American experts on Russia en-
phasize it is entirely possible
Stain may surprise them and be-
come chairman of the Praesidium
himself, appoint no chairman, or
designate some one else.
Economic experts looking into
the announcement of Russia's new
flve-year plan to be approved at
the Congress meeting, acknowl-
edged they were mystif1ed as to
why Moscow delayed announcing
it for 20 months.
The plan. which boasts espe-
cially of efforts to boost food
production, already has been in
effect 20 months. It is due to-
end December 81. 1855.

Senator Nixon Says
Eisenhower Is Man 10
Clean Up Washington
BY the Associated Press

HAMPTON BEACH, N. H., Aug
I21.-Senator Nixon, the Republi.
can vice presidential nominee
says there's mess in Washington
and Gen. Eisenhower is the man
to clean it up.
Speaking at a beach rally yes
terday. the young Californian saio
there is only one question to be
decided on the corruption issue:
who can clean up the mess
Stevenson, the man who owes his
nomination to Truman and his
machine, or Eisenhower, the man
who owes his nomination to the
millions of people who voted fo1
him in the primaries?"
Senator Nixon said the Demo-
cratic "big city bosses" were re-
sponsible for what he termed "the
corruption of the Truman admin
istration," and challenged Gov
Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic
presidential nominee, to repudiate
their support.
Senator Nixon also challenged
Gov. Stevenson to shed himself of
Truman administration ties to
show the President sis not calling
the signals for him.
"The time has come" Senator
Nixon told a crowd estimated at
10000, "for Mr.. Stevenson to
choose between Truman and the
people"
He said that while the Repub-
lican convention accepted the
verdict Of the people in the
primaries and nominated Eisen-
hover, the Democratic convention
cast aside the candidate the peo-
pie indicated they wanted in the
primaries and selected the candi-
date Harry Truman and the
bosses preferred"

rift between hackers of Senator
Taft and Gen. Eisenhower is vir-

Louisiana Democrats
Pledge Stevenson
Party's 10 Electors
By the Associated Press

BATON ROUGE. La. Aug. 21.-
Louisiana Democrats have pledged
the States 10 electors to preSi-
Dental candidate Adlai Stevenson
but have withheld Endorsement of
the party's ticket.
This victory for Gov. Stevenson
came on a 77-to-9 vote by the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee yesterday and assured the
Stevenson-Sparkman ticket full
billing under the traditional and
familiar rooster emblem on the
November ballot.
Even so. members of the 100
man committee said they were
not necessarily indorsing the
Illinois Governor and his vice
presidential running mate, Sem
ator Sparkman of Alabama, and
that they certainly were not rati-
flying the party's platform.
A top party platform leader who
asked not to be identified said the
, action gave the nominees "a seat
, in the balcony instead of the
front row Of the party"
Split Ticket Bid Loses.
Members snuffed out a split
ticket" move by a 1892 vote.
Committee Vice Chairman w. J..
Erikson of New Orleans termed
the final decision a big Stevenson
victory because cit pledges our
electors to his ticket"
: In the past, the committee
2 usually has not pledged its elec-
tors.
. Two electors, w. Scott Wilkin-
{ son and Grove Stafford, prompt
ly resigned after blasting the
national party. They will be re-
placed by action of congressional
district committees.
The split ticket proposal would
have put Gov. Stevenson and Sen
sator Sparkman under the donkey
symbol instead of the traditional
rooster emblem which is far more
familiar to Louisiana Democrats.
Gov. Robert Kennon, strong
anti i-Trumanite who refuses toI
discuss Gov. Stevenson or Sen
ator Sparkman, said he was not
surprised at the committees ac-
ton.
Voters Can Decide.
Members made it easy for the
people of the State as whole to
see the difference between the
national Democratic platform and
the ideals of our Louisiana party
Gov. Kennon added.
With that information, and
with the action of the committee
before them, Louisiana voters can
make a clear-cut choice between
the two parties"
w. j. Cleveland, who introduced
the main resolution pledging the
electors, insisted 'our party nom
mated Gov. Stevenson and Sen
ator Sparkman and believe, by
our moral obligation. we as Demo-
Gratis should do all in our power
to legally elect them"
The pledging of electors to
Stevenson, but without committee
Endorsement, appeared as a COM
promise to bring together oppoS-
ing views.
