Even these want a settle

war as anybody else. During
the election campaign they
assured the American people
that a settlement could be had
if Eisenhower were elected.
But it is almost too much to
hope that, once a settlement
Is in the making. they will
stand aside and allow it to be
completed. No terms accept
able to Eisenhower and to the
United Nations, in whose
name he must negotiate, are
certain of acceptance by these
ultrahigh-frequency patriots.
Whatever is conceded. they will
demand more from the ene-

be master in his own house,

Representative Clardy, Repub-
lican. of Michigan asked Con-
gress today to bar payment Of a

contributions to the fund would
be returned to him, plus 4 per
cent interest. Mr.. Vincent's pen
sion is $500 annually.

should have been fired forth
with" last year when a loyalty
review board created by then
President Truman expressed
doubt about his loyalty.
Secretary of State Dulles later
erased the doubt" finding. but
ruled that Mr.. Vincent failed to
meet State Department stand

Mr.. AttIee Went Wide Of Truth
There Are No Americans Who Do Not Want Settlement
In Koreo-Some, However, Make 1t Hard to Achieve

Clement Attlee didn't tell us
anything we didn't already
know when he said in the
House of Commons that the
Eisenhower administration "is
not really the master in its
own house" in the handling of
foreign policy Although leader
of the opposition, the former
Prime Minister was speaking
in general support of Prime
Minister Churchill's proposal
on the previous day for a re-
newal of talks among the
major powers "at the highest
level" This being taken as
m e ming talks between
Churchill, Malenkov and Eli
senhower, it was implied by
Attlee that the President
could not speak with au-
thority for the United States.
He explained that this was be-
cause our executive branch is
tied hand and foot by the
legislative branch under our
system of constitutional checks
and balances,
This criticism, directed not
at Eisenhower personally, but
at our system, can be accepted
as valid. Our Presidents often
have great difficulty in meet
ing their responsibility for for
eign policy. But Attlee was
guilty Of a wisecrack he might
better have avoided when he
remarked that it is sometimes
hard to tell whether President
Eisenhower or Senator Joe
Mccarthy wieldS the greater
power. However much painful
truth there may be in it. the
remark is one for Americans
to make, not the spokesmen
for any friendly nation.
In another statement, the
Labor Party leader went wide

While such powerful
speech by the usually moder-
ate and timid British Labor
leader might have received
only scant attention had it
been made in Hyde Park or at
a party meeting. its delivery
in the House of Commons has
a special significance. Unlike
this country, there is always a
close correlation on foreign
policy between the leader of
the loyal opposition and the
Prime Minister. With us BIZ
partisanship in international
affairs is something of very
recent date. In Britain it is a
tradition. It is not a custom.
but the duty Of the minority
leader to discuss with the
PM (the Prime Minister)
the contents of the speech on
foreign affairs he intends to
make. BY the same token, the
Prime Minister talks with the
minority leader before the
latter makes an important
pronouncement from the floor.
Thus. Mr.. Churchill must
have been acquainted with
and possibly he approved the
opposition leaders speech. In
fact, Mr.. Attlee was inter-
rupted only by the rounds of
applause from the Conserva-
tive and Laborite benches
when he blistered American
politicians and described Pres
ident Eisenhower as a captive
of an "inSidious group of the
Republican Party led by Sen
ator Mccarthy" His denuncia-
ton of our Constitution that
is to blame mot only for the
misunderstanding which con-
stantly bedevils British-Amer-
ican relations, but makes it
impossible for the executive
branch of the Government in
Washington to implement its
words" was received with equal
approval.
Today. when the world looks
like a volcano in eruption and
the Kremlin is using all avail
able tricks to break up flimsy
cooperation between the free
nations which the United
States is straining to keep
alive. the speeches of the two
most responsible British lead
ers are perplexing most Amer
leans.

was chosen by President Eli
Senhower because of two
things: First. a commitment
publicly made in 1949 before
a congressional committee by
Gen. Eisenhower that the
Craftsmanship should go by ro-
tation to the different services
and that he thought a Navy
admiral should be selected
next; and second, an admi-
ration for Admiral Radford's
work in the Pacific where he
has been commander in chief
of the fleet.
There is some mischievously
expressed opposition to Admi-
raj Radford in certain quar-
ters on the ground that he
testified in criticism of the
Air Force concepts on weapons
in the famous congressional
hearings in 1949 concerning
the B-36. But, since the Con-
gress sought the testimony, it
should not be any more of a
barrier to his advancement
than was the testimony of
Gen. Bradley. The latter, as
Chief of Staff of the Army,
testified in the same hearings

there would never be another

Every so often the American
system which seems so full of
flaws to Mr.. Attlee of Great
Britain works out in a human
and amusing way which does
much to relieve the accumu-
lated tensions of this hard
working Capital.
One of the great vested in

Army Engineers. Presidents
have tried to overthrow It's
private empire but in vain.
The engineers cleverly service
the special needs of local in

being asked to make sacrifices

fends it to the death.
After the disastrous Kansas
river floods of 1851, the en-

Kansas basin, including one

been spent of an estimated
cost Of $50 to $50 million.

clare that the dam, when
completed, will represent sub

currence of the billion-dollar

AMONG THE
H0MEMAKERS

Because man-made fibers offer
new possibilities in textile and
clothing important to the con
sumer. Homemakers' Clubs will
consider them in their October
programs. Project leaders met
September % in the Agricultural
Center, at Gaithersburg, to pool
their experiences with the COM
mittee responsible for the train
ing. The committee was composed
of Mrs. H. C. Kirst and Mrs. w. S.
Clabaugh, of the Lynnbrook Club,
Mrs. Warren Seaton, Wheaton
Hills Club, Mrs. Carol Sleek,
County Clothing Chairman and
Mrs. Irma Bell, assistant Home
Demonstration Agent.
Following a summary of the
characteristics of some Of the
fibers by Mrs. Bell, the group re-
ported what fabrics were available
in dresses and suits. 1t found that
the consumer needs more informa-
ton about the performance Of the
fabric or garment, including direc-
tons for obtaining satisfactory
wearing qualities. 1t was pointed
out that limitations of the new
fibers are being overcome by
blends or combinations with ma
tural fibers. The many combina-
tions developed and manufacturing
processes used, produce many diff
ferent fabrics which the consumer
can not identify nor properly care
for unless adequately labeled. Mrs.
Sleek explained that the American
Standards Association label is a
guarantee of quality for rayons
and acetates. Adequate labelling, it
was pointed out, will help not only
the consumer but the retailer,
manufacturer, dry cleaner and
launderer.
