tions, warning that Russia S

Gen, Bradley testified before a
closed session of the House For

uted to reporters.

of the Russians or a slowing up

he declared, continue vigorously
to modernize the forces that they
could throw against the free
world"
The general urged approval of
the 81 billion military aid part
of the mutual security progra n
as "all-important to the collec-
tive security of the free world. "
He also stressed the need for
continuing the so-called de
fense support" program, aimed
at bolstering the economies of
the NATO countries.
These funds for the long
pull" Gen. Bradley said, "are
almost as important as the mill
tary end items to be supplied.

The general emphasized that

to have much more to help equip

Temporary Court Ban
Put on Store Pickets
In Bott|ing Strike
Judge HoItzoff Gronts
Injunction Pending
Final NLRB Ruling

Federal Judge Alexander Holtz-
off today granted a temporary
injunction to stop striking work.
ers of the Washington Coca
Cola Bottling Works from picket
ing retail stores which deal in
Coca-Cola.
The temporary injunction does
not forbid the picketing of the
Coca-Cola bottling works itself.
The temporary injunction was
granted in a suit brought by the
National Labor Relations Board,
which charges the picketing con-
stitutes an Illegal secondary boy
colt under the Taft-Hartley Act.
Against Beverage Union.
The injunction is against Local
81, Brewery and Beverage Driv-
ers and Workers, affiliated with
the AFL 1eamsters' Union.
Judge Holtzoff of the u. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia said that the court is
of the opinion that the question
is a "close one" as to whether
the picketing does constitute a
secondary boycott. He found,
however, there was proper cause
for the court to issue the tenn
porary injunction, pending a
final determination by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board as
to whether the picketing is legal.
Attorney James V. ConStan-
tine argued for the board that
the picketing of the retail stores
had the effect of stopping de-
liverymen of other products from
entering the stores because they
did not want to cross a picket
line.
Defense of Picketing.
Attorney Martin F. O'Dono-
ghue, representing the union
local. argued the picketing was
simply to urge consumers not
to buy Coca-Cola and declared
the picketing does not constitute
a secondary boycott. He argued
the union had a right to seek
a consumer boycott.
At one point. Mr.. O'Donoghue
said he would be glad to make
a public statement that mem
bers of a union group should
disregard the pickets and not
refrain from entering the re-
tail stores picketed.
The picketing of the retail
stores began in February, at
torneys said, sometime after
some As drivers and statesmen
had walked off the job in a dis
pute over union recognition.
Complaints were filed with the
National Labor Relations Board
by Coco-Cola Counsel Earle K.
Shave and Buckingham Super
Markets, Inc. The latter has
been a customer of Coca-Cola.

The general, 81, first was ap-
pointed chief of staff on April

berg, then not eligible for re-
tirement, would not have to take
q subordinate position.

Air. Force Secretary Talbot,
commented that on June 80 he
would have more than "a years
service and will have served more
than five years as Air Force
Chief Of Staff.
Accepted Reluctantly.
Mr.. Talbot accepted the re-
quest with reluctance" and told
Gen. Vandenberg that he had
"the grave responsibility of di-
recting the Air Force through a
buildup of it's strength while
guiding and supporting it at the
same time in the air war in Ko-
rea."
No successor has been named.
But Secretary Of Defense Will

what was described as serious
operation last year but the Air
Force declined to discuss it's ma
ture. After several months of
recuperation he returned to
active duty at the Pentagon.
Mr.. Talbott's letter noted that
he had discussed the "circum-
stances" that prompted Gen.
Vandenberg's action. but did not
elaborate on this point.
Gen. Vandenberg's departure
is the first in a series which will
revamp the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

French Oppose
Plea toU. n. on
Laos Invasion
Asiu Threat Worries
U. S. as Foreign Aid
Measure Is Studied
BY the Assoeioted Press

PARIS, May 7.-France has
Informed the United States that
she is firmly opposed to bringing
the Communicated Wet Mimi
invasion of Laos, in Indo- China,
before the United Nations.
United States Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles yester-
day told a congressional COM
mittee he was exchanging views
on a possible U. N. airing of the
Laos invasion with the govern
ments of France, Laos Wet Nam
and Thailand. He had already
been advised of the French views.
These governments are directly
affected by the powerful assault
on the independent Laotian king
dom.
(The State Department made
clear today that the question
is still open. A spokesman
said: 1--WE are continuing dis
cuSsion with the French."O
The French Foreign Minister,
Georges Bidault. called United
States Ambassador Douglas Dill
Ion to the Foreign Office Sunday
night and handed him a men,
orandum outlinging Frances op-
position to the move.
Would Dignity Reds.
The note was understood to
point out that such a step would
give Communist Wet Mimi leader
Ho Chin Mimi the status of an
international belligerent, digni-
flying his case before the world.
The United States is reported
to have expressed understanding
Of the French reasoning without
being wholly convinced.
The United States believes the
Laos invasion is a fragrant vio-
lation of the neutrality of an
independent nation and that. as
such. the United Nations can
hardly overlook it. The American
attitude, in addition. is that ex-
posing the Laos invasion to the
forum of international opinion
would make for a better under
standing of Frances role in In
do-China and her problems there
U. S. Would Pay 400.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton has advised Congress that
the United States proposes
with congressional approval-to
shoulder 40 per cent of the cost
of the Indo- China war. France
is grateful for this. But she is
said to fear that if the U. N.
StirS the troubled waters of
1ndo- China, the ripples will be
felt in her touch-and-go protec-
torates in North Africa.
The Arab bloc in the U. N.
would, she reasons. be sure to
seize the Indo-China question
as an excuse for more attacks on
French administration and
policy and in Morocco and
1uniSia.
The French are sensitive also
to the possibility that a parti-
ton of Indo-China would be
suggested in the U. NJ, or Com
munist participation in the gov
ernment there. France also fore
sees the likelihood that Soviet
Russia would seize on the issue
to make powerful propaganda
designed to weaken the position
of the West in Asia.

This week one of our readers questions right to
publish certain controversial letter to the editor For
his information as we'll as any others who not ac
quated with the policy of the Arizona Post let us state
that if writer is willing to sign letter to the editor
we're willing to publish it, provided it is within the realm
of good TASTE and does not seem to be malicious or libel
GUS. Naturally have space limitations.
The Arizona Post has great faith in the ability of its
readers separate what propaganda from honest opn
ion And whenever viewpoint is expressed which has
another side to it (and which hasntD you can be
sure that reader will send in letter pronto,
pressing that other side
The better part of the American press through its
mandate of freedom of the press prints all facts and
vews-ets the readers form their conclusions from
the facts and views thus presented How else we ar
rive at the truth of any situation?
So far as the Arizona Posts views Communism
and Fascism concerned they matter of record
We have learned by experience that Communists, like
Fascists the first to cancel subscription ad when
opinion is published contrary to their own party
which has a line like that-cannot possibly be good
party, so far as we're concerned.
The democratic way is good enough for U.S. True
sometimes don't get the democracy that is promised
in our constitution But that isn't the fault of phil
osophy of government It's the fault of the people who
administer it. Fight to turn the rascals OUT The easy
way when fails to realize certain liberties is to join
up with other political dogma. That's where some
were taken in by Communism mostly back in the '3OS
Most of them realize that they duped and that
they should have fought for the democracy they seemed
to have been denied rather than to have rushed into the
mysterious abyss from which there to be point
of return.
For ourselves we shall never cease in the fight for
what consider the real Amerca-with all the rights
guaranteed by founding fathers. 1t is humble
prayer that newspaper with that thought In mind shall
continue to survive in this land of ours

Dear Editor:
With bleeding heart 1 read in
your Informative paper about the
infamous cards mailed out by
what is called the Christian Anti

ly bear the title, "Anti-Christ Anti

This word of explanation from
Christian to our Jewish friends:
No one can rightly take the
name Christian who does not re-
fleet the character of the Birth

which is as Jewish as the Tenach.
Thus, any person who processes
to be one, but with animosity for
the Jews, contradictS the faith,

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
I am protesting the publishing
of the letter about the RoSenbergS
by the Arizona Post, Jewish
newspaper. also object to your
printing announcements about
the activities of the "Jewish Peo-
pies Fraternal Order" a Commu-
nist-front organization. When a
Jew embraces Communism he
ceases to be a Jew, he deserts the
faith of his fathers, he denounces
the God of Israel and becomes a
worshipper of the idol Stain.
The Post must take a stand
here if it desires to parade as a
Jewish newspaper.
The most cruel persecution of
the Jews in the Communist coun-
tries is being perpetrated by these
Jewish apostates. I quote from
the NY. Times, Nov. II, 1852 ''Er-
no Geroe, whose real name is Sin
