still be lurking in the vicinity.
To tell the truth, most New
Dealers suffered from a delu-
sion similar to that affecting
the Senator. They were dis
posed to bewail the critical at
titude Of the correspondents,
to consider them anti-New
Deal almost to a man.
There is a strong tendency
to exaggerate possible differ
ences within the Republican
Party" says Taft.
Now that is distinctly unfair.
The correspondents have been
making big news out Of the
harmonious relations between
Taft himself and the Presi-
dent. OF course, if the two
should stop speaking to each
other or break up their pres
ent golf1ng partnership. the
correspondents probably will
mention it. What does Taft
think news is, anyhow? He
tells:
II know Of a number Of
accomplishments alre ady
achieved in the bureaus Of
which I have seen nothing in
the newspapers" He should
tell the correspondents about
these achievements. In the
meantime he cannot complain
that the achievement attempt
ed by Secretary Weeks in the
Bureau of Standards Is being
overlooked.
Despairing, however, Of the
correspondents, the Senator
calls for a better publicity de-
partment in the Republican
National Committee. It never.

and he tells what a good job
would be.
1.-THE particular job to be
done Is to publicize constantly

We are far from having to-
day such a sling" despite the
$3.50 billion appropriated by
Congress for defense in the last
six years. At the beginning Of
this year we had about 100 air
groups. Some Of these were not

from the last war. The goal Of
the Air Force Is to have 1875
combat groups by the end of
1855. The estimated minimum
needed to meet any major
emergency Is $50 combat
groups consisting of 1880
modern aircraft. The Russians
have more than 10000 up-to-
date fighter and bomber
planes. The cost Of such an
air armada would exceed $40
billion. ...
There have been suggestions
in the past that this country
should increase the number Of
air bases abroad for any
emergency. The consensus Of
top officials in Washington to-
day is that Malenkov and his

American boys home from all
overseas lands,
The American isolationiSts
have a new argument. They
say that the Truman 'iSola-
tionists" were much worse
they isolated American armies
in Korea, got little help from
the allies, accepted, neverthe-
less, allied interference in mill
tary operations, and finally
the isolation became complete
when ammunition needed in
Korea was withheld SO a GER
tain type Of sitdown war could
be fought with American boys
as the guinea pigs Of an en-
pirical diplomacy. It's the
kind Of argument that viii be
heard on the stump in the
next congressional elections if
the present administration
joins with Britain in giving up
the objectives for which Amer
ican boys were told they were
shedding their blood these last
80 months in Korea.
Collective security and con-
'tinued membership by the
United States in the U. N. are
related to the failure or success
Of the Korean war and, when
the facts are all in. there will
have to be a realistic appraisal
of whether Uncle Sam was
played for a sucker in Korea
and whether he will not by
inference find himself in the
same Ak in Europe If appease-
ment becomes the rule in the
future peace conferences which
are to follow a cease fire. The
domestic political lineup can
be seriously affected by the
debate on these points.
How to preserve allied SOL
idarity in the face of the So
viets' biggest opportunity to
break it down is the real issue
which the new era of peace"
conversations poses for Amer
lea and Britain. For, If allied
solidarity does break down
the Soviet regime can do what
= it pleases in Europe and even
risk large-scale war. They're
doing some real worrying here
in Washington as the much
to-be- desired armistice in Ko-
rea comes closer to being con-
Summated.

Dovid Lowrence:

They're just beginning to
realize 1t around here-that
Soviet Russia by suddenly NOV
ing toward a cease fire"
agreement in Korea has con-
fronted the Western alliance
with a crisis in peace" that
may provide a more dangerous
threat Of large-scale war in
the next few years than an
unchanged cold war might
have brought.
For merely to enumerate the
consequences Of the cease
fire" is to sketch the scope of
the dilemma to which, the
Western allies will have to find
the answer or be entrapped.
First. the moment there's a
cease fire, the British will in
dicate their belief that Red
China should be admitted to
the q. N. and Chang Kali
shek's NationaliStS be aban-
doned.
Second. since the armistice
agreement settles only the
questions relating to a cease
fire, the next step is a politi-
cal conference at which the
future Of Korea must be con-
Sidered. Here the Communists
will insist on the North Ko-
reans staying in power. Any
uniflcation plan, in their eyes,
must start with dominance by
the North Koreans. Already
the South Koreans are max
ing public demonstrations de-
manding that Chinese forces
be completely withdrawn from
all Korea, that North Korean
forces be diSarmed, and that
no member Of the U. N. give
aid to Communist North
Korea "militarily, financially
or otherwise"
Third, If the South Koreans
are sold out in any political
conference, it means that the
North Koreans will overrun
all Of Korea and render futile
everything that the U. N.
forces have tried to do since
June. 1850, and for which
America has incurred more
than 10000 casualties.
Fourth, If the South Koreans
are disaffected, how will the
u. N. keep peace in Korea?

Medal Of Honor Goes
To Pennsylvania
By the Assoeioted Press

A Pennsylvania soldier has
been awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor for destroying
an enemy submachine gun nest
in a one-man charge that cost
his life.
He is Corpl. Clifton Speicher,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John w.
Speicher Of Gray, Pa, and the
58th announced Army winner of
the Nations highest military
award in the Korean war.
Corpl. Rudy G. Polin Of Los
Angeles, one Of Corpl. Speicher's
comrades in Company F, 223d
Regiment. 40th Division, told the
story of the gallant action.
Corpl. Speicher was knocked
down and wounded by an enemy
hand grenade when half way up

a hill during an assault last June
IA. He got up. refused medical
aid and continued up the slope.
The assault unit was pinned
down by Communist machine
gun fire about three-fourths of
the way to the crest. Corpl.
Speicher leaped from his posi-
tion and charged alone into the
blazing fire. About 10 yards from
the bunker he was hit again, but
pulled himself up and charged
into the bunker.
A few minutes later three men
from Corpl. Speicher's squad
cautiously approached the enemy
strongpoint. They shot a Com
munist soldier who apparently
had just fired at Corpl. Speicher.
Three Chinese lay dead on the
bunker floor. ...
"Corpl. Speicher walked un-
steadily outside and down the
hill without saying anything to
any one," Corpl. Polin said. At
the foot of the hill he collapsed
and died.

tions to regulate labor. educa-
ton, social security and other
human rights. Given the force
of treaty, such agreements
would override the civil rights
blockadeS set up in Congress
by the South.
Both sides of the argument
secured distinguished legal
backing and the politicians
nibbled at the issue to some
degree in the campaign. It
was, for example. a fair shot
when Senator McCarran re-
minded Secretary of State
Dulles that Mr.. Dulles, the pri-
vate citizen with State De-
partment ambitions, saw more
merit in the proposal when he
addressed the American Bar
Association last year.
The opinion which has
proved persuasive with the
White House is that any
President would find it diff
cult to conduct foreign affairs
under the Bricker amendment
because it would so drastically
restrict If not actually paralyze
his power to act in a crisis.
The President. ordinarily so
reluctant to cross Congress,
has therefore spoken out
against the proposal.
Mr.. Dulles sought to mol
lily the amendments sponsors
by suggesting that they had
helped to develop a public
opinion which will not permit

Lowell MeHett:

This seems like nice day to
quarrel with Senator Taft. He
has Just published in Look
magazine an article that isn't
o bit fair to Washington cor
respondents, and somebody
should say a word in their de-
tense.
His theme is the job that
faces the Republican Party
what it must do to win the
congressional elections Of 1884, ,
how to hold its slight edge in
the House and Senate and, If
possible, obtain a flrmer con-
troll. Most important to this
purpose, he finds, is adequate
publicity" And that, he avows,
the G. o. P. has thus far sadly,
lacked and. unless something
is done about it, will continue
to lack. That's because "a.
it is clear to me that a ma
jority of Washington writer's
are inclined to view the Eisen-
hover administration with a
critical eye."
The Senate Majority Leader
is on sound ground there. A
majority Of the correspondents
are inclined just that way. But
they were inclined the same
way toward the Truman, the
Roosevelt, the Hoover and all
other administrations Of recent
times. Rightly or wrongly.
most Washington correspond
ents seem to think that's partly
what they're here for, to keep
q critical eye on the Govern
ment. Not unfriendly, just
critical. But
''MoSt Of them" says Taft,
supported the New Deal dur
ing a period Of 20 years, and
1t is hard to change the habits
Of q lifetime. They tend to be
anti-Republican."

HEAVEN
%5os You'll


A good many people feel
that heaven is a far. farawav
place ; only for a very few of
the sanity and the pious.
Have you ever felt that way2
That somehow, it Just isn't
the place for you?
Actually the absolute opposite
IS true: heaven Is a very real and
tangible place, and it is yours for
the asking! But this does not
in any way mitigate another i'm
portant truth: no matter how
SANITY" you apparently may be-
come, You can never reach heaven
by your own goodness!
This is due to the simple fact
that there is a law which you
and everyone else in this world
have broken: the Ten Com
mandments. These Command
ments, given by God Himself
Exodus 2O:3-17) are His law
of conduct for this world. Any
thing We have done that is out
of harmony with this law of
God is sin and, obviously, no
sinner" can ever enter Gods
paradise.
Sin" the Bible says, as the
transgression of the law" John
8:4. We are also told that "all
have sinned." Ro-
WsyniDo mans 1928. So, since
the wages of sin"
and is eternal death, the
n : situation doesn't
IfouiSs! look too good for
any of US, does it?
But in this very same statement
of warning we are given a thrill
ing promise: THE gift of God IS
eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord" Romans 6:23.
This is exactly what the gospel
story is all about 1. God has a
standard of conduct for US which
cannot be annulled. 2. The 7 en-
atty of that law is eternal death.
8. We have all broken the law and
thus must pay the penalty or find
Someone who will save us from
it. Thus, 4, the gospel, the good
news" of salvation, can be re-
duced to one simple statement:
"Christ hath redeemed US from
the curse of the law! Galatians
3:13.
How has He done this? By
abOlishing the law? No, for
then there would be nothing to
transgress, and thus no sin from
which we need to be saved! He
has redeemed us by taking the
curse" of that law, death, upon
Himself. He gave His life for
ours, and thus we are saved, by
His grace, from the penalty of
a broken law.
Some believe that because faith
in Christ saves Us from the PEN
atty of the law, faith also annuls
the law itself!
But saint and sinner are both
bound by the same law. The sinner
is a sinner because he breaks that
law. The grace of
Christ can COM What

transgression, but Is d

not do away with the law of the
land because it requires the grace
of the governor himself to annul
the penalty.
The very fact that we need
the saving grace Of Jesus proves
more than anything else that
there is a law against which we
have transgressed, and which
cannot be done away. That is
why Paul said: do we then
make void the law through
faith? God forbid: yea, we es-
tablish the law" Romans 3:31.
These Commandments will be
cherished by those who, through
faith in Jesus, are counted
worthy to "enter in through the
gates" into eternity. Revelation
22:14.
Heaven is not illusory and I'M
attainable. 1t is the most real of
all realities and may be won by
whatsoever will" But it may
be well to study those Command
ments more frequently. Exodus

LOS ANGELES, Calf, May g.
(JACL-The Japanese American
Citizens League will urge the At
torney General to eliminate the
names of 81 pre-war japanese or
CARNATIONS from his newest list of
allegedly subversive organizations,
George j. Inagaki, national JACL
president, announced this week.
Inagaki made this announcement
following a conference in Phoenix,
Ariz., over the weekend with Mike
Masaoka, Washington representa-
tive, Mas Satow, national director,
and national board and staff men,
bers.
Inagaki noted that last week At
torney General Herbert Brownell,
Jr., in announcing the addition Of
62 new groups to the roster of 1872
organizations on the Department Of
Justice list, declared that all desig-
mated organizations would be af-
forded hearings before being plac-
ed on the final revised list which
will govern the Eisenhower admi-
nistration in its security program.
The National JACL president re-
called that the first listings were
made in Nov, 1947, and included 81
Japanese organizations as totalita-
rian When new listings were an
nounced thereafter, no new Japa-
nese organizations were added.
Because these listings are used
to deny both Issei and Nisei gov
eminent employment, to authorize
the deportation Of worthy aliens
who are parents of American-born
citizens, to prohibit the issuance of
re-entry permits to Issei desiring to
visit Japan. to deny visa applica-
lions to stranded Issei in japan and
to immigrants seeking to enter the
United States, and to cast suspicion
on the otherwise generally favorable
war record of the Issei and the Nj
sci in the United States, JACL feels
The Northwest times. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1947-1955, 1953-05-09

very strongly that if at all possible
these now defunct organizations
should be dropped from the new de-
signations," Inagaki said.
He declared that Edward j. En-
mis-, Washington JACL legal coun-
sci, and Masaoka would prepare the
letter to the Attorney General and
would request an appointment to
discuss the matter informally with
him.
He said that the JACL represen-
tations would point out that all OF
these listed organizations have been
defunct since Dec. I, 1941, that none
of these we're subversive in the sense
of being espionage or sabotage a
gents for Japan, and that none OF
them could be classed with such
groups as the German American
Bund Or the Communist Party and
its front organizations.
I'm the light of the new relation
ships between Japan and the Unit
ed States and the well known fact
that no resident alien Japanese Ell
ther inHawaii or the United States
committed any acts of sabotage or
espionage against this country, the
Attorney General should eliminate
these pre-war japanese organiza-
lions. They serve no useful purpose
and indeed cause embarrassment
and hardship to both the citizen
and non-citizen groups" Inagaki
said.
He also announced that the JACL
regional offices in Los Angeles and
San Francisco would call meetings
of community leaders during Ma
saoka's short visit to the West coast
in order to discuss what might be
done to allow these listed organiza-
lions to request individual hearings
if the JACL plea for the elimination
of all groups is ignored.
Prescribed totalitarian Japanese
organizations include:
Black Dragon Society
Central japanese Association (Bei-
koku Chuo Nipponjin KaD
Central japanese Association of
Southern California
Dali Nippon Butoku Kai military
Virtue Society of Japan or Military
Art Society of Japan
