Thomas L. Stokes:

Senator Joe McCarthy's ar
rogant bluff finally has been
called by his own Senate COL
leagues.
This, with all the attendant
circumstances, is the signifi-
canoe of the Senate's action in
upholding its Privileges and
Elections Subcommittee and in
Structing it to go ahead with
its investigation of the Wiscon-
son Senator. This investigation,
which has been under way for
some time, concerns allega-
tions of fraud, deceit and
perjury in connection with
his charges of Communists in
Government that was brought
by Senator Benton, Democrat,
of Connecticut in his resolu-
ton to oust Senator Mccarthy
from the Senate.
The Privileges and Elections
Subcommittee, headed by Sem
ator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, forced the issue and SIM
plified it to fit Joe McCarthy's
own special technique. 1t mere
ly took his own attack on the
subcommittee, accusing its
members of stealing tens of
thousands of dollars and pick
ing the pockets of the taxpayers
to investigate him, and held it
up before the Senate as another
example of the reckless and
false insinuations he has been
spreading about innocent per-
sons and the State Department.
His attack on his five col
leagues on the subcommittee
probably was Joe McCarthy's
big mistake.
For that provided the simple
issue which the subcommittee
took to the Senate which, once
there, opened the way for a
public airing of the bigger issue,
which is Joe McCarthy's assault
on individual and personal lib
erty and the very integrity of
our Government. No such con-
demnation of the Senator's
campaign of villification from
his own colleagues-other than
Senator Benton - hitherto has
been spread on the public rec
ord and. in fact, no such con-
deinnation of a Senator by his
own kind has been heard in
recent times.
Senator Mccarthy sought to
soften the blow by announcing
in advance that he was in favor
Of a continuation of the inves-
tigation and by introducing q
resolution Of his own to in
vestigate Senator Benton. Dur
ing the debate there was, here
and there, an attempt to mini
mize the issue as 1t was pre-

cially persistent In denuncia-
ton was Mrs. Smith, who has
been in the forefront in the
battle against McCarthyism.
It was with deep emotion
that Senator Monroney pre-
sented the issue Of Senator
McCarthy's attack on subcom-
mittee members. He recited the
simple facts to refute the Wis
consin Senator's charge in a
letter to the subcommittee last
December, which he released to
the newspapers three days in
advance, about the subcommit-
tee stealing tens of thousands
of dollars" to investigate him.
The facts are that the three
subcommittee investigators, who
worked not only on the Mccarthy
investigation but also on the
1850 Ohio election, were paid
$4,000 and, after Senator
Mccarthy was given these facts,
he continued his same wild
charges, characteristic of his
personal campaign of SANDER.
The subcommittee had full au-
thorization for its investigation.
Senator Monroney declared
that the Wisconsin Senator's
attack would destroy the very
power, integrity and dignity of
Government"

Senate Biffle into a cohesive
force which made the Barkley
nomination inevitable.
Mr.. Barkley went on to make
a vital contribution to the 1948
victory. None knew the Demo-
cratic story better or told it
more eloquently than he did
from coast to coast.
His present handicap is his
age. He is 74-six years older
than Mr.. Truman. He is also
an integral part of the regime
which has grown tired and is
suffering from corruption.
The voters have seemed to be
saying that they want fresh
faces and a new start. Mr..
Truman apparently thinks they
do and wishes that the Weep
would also admit it.
Like the President, the Vice
President is Shrewd politician.
His presidential aspirations
have been obvious-he is always
telling how young he feels and
how vigorous he is. But he has
managed to restrain himself
from impulsive commitments

sented. This was by a simple
motion from the subcommittee
for its own discharge, which
was brought forward to get a
vote of confidence. The motion
was defeated, so to 0, thereby
giving the vote of confidence
and authorizing the subcommit-
tee to proceed with it's inveSti-
cation.
But the debate, itself, recog-
nized the bigger issue involved.
This was injected at the out
set by Senator Lehman, Demo-
crat, of New York, who said
that "this matter goes far
deeper" and, deploring the dis
trust and the threat to per-
sonal liberty created by the
Wisconsin Senator's techniques,
he said the Senate must speak
out in condemnation and until
we do that we are going to
forfeit the confidence of the
people in this body"
The bitterness Senator Nc
Carthy has stirred up was re-
f1ected in Senator Gillette's
statement that, since the in
vestigation began, he had never
received more vicious, vile and
vindictive insinuations" against
himself in his whole public life.
This indicates the atmosphere
in which he and other subcom-
mittee members have worked,
the others being Senators Mon
roney, Democrat, of Oklahoma;
Hennings. Democrat. of Mis-
souri,: Margaret Chase Smith,
Republican, of Maine, and
Hendrickson, Republican, of
New Jersey.
1t has taken courage-for this
has become a menacing political
issue. How deeply Subcommit-
tee members have come to feel
about the fundamental issue
with which they are coping was
manifest in the emotional fer
vor with which they spoke about
the Senator's attack on the
subcommittee, and its implica-
tions to the Senate, itself, and
to the whole Government. Espe-

ther pressures for presidential
intervention in SllhSen1ent wears

ther pressures for presidential
intervention in subsequent years.
Today the railroads are being
operated by the Government.
Seizure is being fought in the
courts by the rail unions just as
vigorously as the steel companies
are fighting the sudden taking
over of their properties. The diff
ference in the two cases is an
embarrassing one for the Presi-
dent. In the case of the railroad
unions, Mr.. Truman isn't allow
ing any negotiation to be carried
on that departs from the things
both parties had agreed upon
before seizure. In the case of the
steel dispute, he is encouraging
negotiation and presumably will
approve a settlement that diff
ferS from that of his own board.
The net of it all is that presi-
dentially appointed boards do
more harm than good in the
field of labor relations. There
is. of course, a place for fact
finding tribunals which, if i'm
partially chosen, can come in
with a comprehensive report on
facts but without recommended
tions. Once the facts are estab-
lished and made public without
such distortions or misrepresen-
tations of the facts as were
handed Mr.. Truman by his
advisers to insert in his radio
speech Tuesday night. the
American people-and this in
cludes the stockholders of the
companies concerned as we'll as
the rank and file of the unions
can quickly tell who is right
or wrong. If there were more
reliance on volition and the
simple processes of reason and
voluntarism and less reliance on
coercion, there would be a diff
ferent story to tell about labor
management relations in Amer
lea today.

seven months in which to build
up their strength
The fear that the Soviets
might have intervened to save
their Far Eastern puppets had
been taken into consideration
by the dismissed general. He
recognized that his plans rep
resented a calculated risk. but
was convinced that the U. S. S. R.
did not have the capability to
engage in a war in that area at
that time. Moscow's forces in
Siberia were numerous but de-
pended entirely on supplies from
Western Russia. We had def
mite air superiority which could
have smashed their only line of
communication, the Trans-Si-
berian Railway, and the dozen
tunnels between Lake Baikal
and Vladivostok.
The prospects that a deter
mined effort by Macarthur
command would bring a third
world war were being mini
mized by all except those who
wanted to justify the action Of
the chickenhearted. The Mos
cow planners carefully calcu-
late their opportunities and the
Far East was a bad risk for
them.
The armistice discussions &C
cepted eagerly by the adminis-
tration last year are now in
their tenth month. During this
time the enemy has increased
his air force to the point where
it is superior to our own and
has also provided its forces in
Korea with firepower greater
than ours. The Allied ground
troops, estimated at about 30O,-
600 men, are faced by a force at
least three times larger. This
is the net direct result of the
dismissal of Gen. Macarthur.

Collective Bargaining Put Aside
Coercion Is Now Dominant Note of Government Policy
And Neither Owners Nor Workers Are Happy About 1t
Dovid Lowrence:

Coercion is now the domi-
nant note of Government policy
in the economic world. The
days when disputes and diff
ferences of opinion were sub
mitted to the voluntary action
of the parties. especially in the
labor field, seem to have passed.
Since the establishment of
Government tribunals to decide
labor disputes or even merely to
recommend" a settlement, the
process of collective bargaining
has been brushed aside.
That's the basic reason for the
fact that today the railroads
and the steel companies are in
the hands of the Government,
and neither the owners nor the
workers are happy.
The fundamental mistake was
made when powers of negoti-
alton were turned over to the
Wage Sterilization Board. AS
long as there is some Govern
ment board at the end of the
road in a controversy over
wages or working rules, the
unions feel that they can do
better by waiting for the Gov
ernment boards or panels to
report.
One reason, of course, is that
President Truman has never
pretended to be impartial about
the personnel he appoints to his
various labor boards. He makes
sure they are pro-union. When
Mr.. Truman appointed Charles
E. Wilson as Director of Eco
nomic Mobilization, with power
over wages as well as prices,
labor union leaders baked. They
refused to participate. Mr.. Tru-
man didn't surrender immedi-
ately but in due time he gave
the labor leaders what they
wanted-a new personnel in the
defense setup and an order that
the Wage Sterilization Board

that might injure his dignity
as an elder statesman.
He must have been affected
by Mr.. Truman's analysis of the
situation as shown in his with
drawal. It is in itself the best
possible proof that the Presi-
dent believes the hints he has
dropped to Mr.. Barkley.
The Vice Presidents plans, of
course, are not unalterable; he
is also under some pressure from
Kentucky and from other
Senators to make his wants
known.
Some of his friends argue that
prudence is his best counsel in
any case. The press. they say,
would harp upon his age and
impress it upon the convention
weeks before it met.
They would prefer to have
him enter the convention as the.

sible in a stalemate, the best

cratic deliberations as a result of

well, but don't 'overdo it-espe-
cially cuts with open surfaces,
such as chops. Smoked and cured
meats. of course. are the safest
in the long run. although many a
frankfurter doesn't stand old age
at all well. Sliced meats and
hamburger should never be kept
more than "a hours, and then
only under ideal conditions.
OF course some meats may be

stance, may be parboiled one day
and kept in the icebox until the
next, when they can be broiled
or fried or creamed or used in
any way you like. A boiled fowl,
too. keeps well. and may be re-
heated in its broth and served
with rice. or used cold in q salad.
But it is a pity to precook such
things as liver, kidneys, outlets,
chops. steaks and so on-they are
never as good as when cooked
fresh and eaten Immediately.
II you have freezer compart-
ment in the refrigerator you can
keep meats in that with perfect
safety. but remember to give it
time to thaw out-and then cook

1t at once. It must never be re-
frozen after it has once thawed.
Another culinary point to keep
in mind is that you can't expect
icy cold meat to cook in the time
scheduled in the books, It also
will taste better and be tenderer
If you let it reach room tempera-
ture before exposing it to heat.
Take it from the icebox an hour
or so before you plan. to cook 1t,
it and let 1t lose its chill
slowly in the normal warmth Of
the room.
And just as an additional
thought-fish should never be
kept even overnight-it must be
eaten the day 1t is bought.

Advice on Buying and Storing Meats Properly

Proper storing and keeping Of
meats is just as important as
care in their purchase especially
in warm weather. II you do not
have a really large and efficient
refrigerator or freezer it is wise
not to buy more than just what
you need for one days meals.
But If you have the equipment
and the space you can market
once or twice a week, bearing in
mind that certain meats are more
perishable than others, and plan
ming to use them first.
For instance, the "glandular"
meats, such as liver. sweetbreads
and so on, are apt to spoil far
more quickly than roast of

ist is not necessarily a good teach
er, since teaching is a highly spe-
cialized field, in music. A beginner
especially. needs a teacher, quail
fed by training, and experienced
in teaching young children.
Perhaps you could have your

and let the son help her with her
lessons. He could go with her
when she takes a lesson and later
help her with her practising, fol-
lowing the teachers suggestions.
