The Geneva Conference on
the Indo-C China crisis-which
begins April 90 is of ma
jor Importance. 1t could well
be a turning point between
peace and war.
The questions being asked
in Washington-and perhaps
in all other capitals of the
world-are these:
CD How much more aid
will America and her allies
give France?
(2) Will the outcome re-
suit in about war i'm the
acknowledgement bomb age?
Or
(3) Will Geneva bring an
other stalemate which will
drain resources of this ma
ton more deeply in the stug-
gle between Communism and
the free world?
No one in Washington
knows w h a t will happen.
The Congressional leaders of
both parties have been brief
ed as to the seriousness of
the situation. Even if all
out war does not come
there will be terrific pres
sure to increase defense
preparations, which means
increased spending.
1t is unfortunate-to put
it mildly-that the Eisen-
hover administration is
faced with this problem at
a time when the steps taken
to adjust the nations fiscal
affairs are commencing to
bear fruit. 1t is needless to
add that tension such as this
is not helpful to the Eisen-
hover in a campaign year.
The situation confronting
the Eisenhower administra-
ton appears to be this:
CD Criticism by the press
and radio corps and the col
umists who still adhere to
the philosophy of the Roose-
velt- Truman era over what
ever Mr.. Eisenhower may
do.
(2) The western allies are
likely to be critical as they
culver with fear at basic
decisions.
(3) The Communists will
seek to build up the picture
of the United States as a
great warmonger.

Charlottesville Will Haze n
Public Housing authority
BIZ Randolph l.. White


Amid cries of socialism" the part of opponents
and equally insistent clamor les clean up slum
areas" by proponents of the establishment of Public
Housing and Redeveopment Authority in Charlottesville
the longsmoulderng question settled through city
wide referendum last Thursday, April Is.
The vote-1,1O5 FOR to 1,O6s AGAINsT--resulted
in producing the narrowest margin in the cts reeren-
dunn history The alarmingly low margin of 36 votes
poses quite problem for the five-member housing
thorty yet to be appointed by the Mayor.
In view of Council being predominanty against seek
ing federal aid for the project the result of the reeren
dunn is everything but comforting to those citizens and
groups that have fought treessy for sum clearance
and decent low-rent housing.
That Council composed will take advantage
of this fact is a foregone conclusion among many
citizens.
During the past five years that the citys govern
ing body has wrestled with the housing problem there
has been than two of the fve-member
Gil who voted to support publicly aided housing and
slum clearance project Since the question in 1949
of the two members favorable to the project has long
since left the body The other member will leave this
September.
However, bleak the picture may appear, pro-
ponents still have in the hole Since is generally
concluded that year will have passed before sum

align themselves firmly behind candidates who through
their forwardooking attitudes, leave for doubt
that they will to the job of steering Chariot
Young blood is needed to put the job because
too many of elder backward-lookng politicians have
proved wholly incompetent to solve the problem Con-
servatism like liberalism is dangerous when overpayed
And certainly Charlottesville has experienced album

most part of its history.
The theme song that federal subsidy invites social

plies to French Ind0-China.
1t is a pretty good guess
as to where the powerful
U. S. Navy carrier task
force = which was used
around Korea is manuver-
ing-and it is not around
Cape Horn.
1t is also a pretty good
guess that the powerful Rus
sian submarine fleet in the
Far East is keeping it's peri
scopes trained on this fleet.
You will recall reading
recently that at least two
marine divisions have been
participating in landings on
Pacific islands. One such
landing was on famed Two
Jima where the marines dis
covered more than 1000
dead Japanese sealed off in
cayes in World War II, and
the enemy knows full well
that the United States uses
it's marines for crash action.
In this background, the
Commerce Department, un-
der Mr.. Weeks, has put into
effect a more simplified pri-
critics and ALLEGATIONS sys-
tenn. This covers only the
military and the Atomic En-
ergy Commission. AS yet no
plan has been completed for
priorities and ALLEGATION for
essential civilian goods.
Such is a thumbnail of
the peace-war picture.
TAFT HARTLEY: What
will happen?
On the Senate side, sup
port is gaining for a series
of amendments to the Senate
Committee bill. These
amendments include: % a
restoration of the right of
free speech along the lines
of the House measure; (2)
restoration of state authority
over strikes and picketing !;
go Qualification of the Sec
ondary Aboycott provisions !;
and az a secret strike bal
lot.
On the House side, the
conflict is still unresolved
between the supporters of
recognizing t h e admins
tration of Taft Hartley, so
as to have unfair labor prac-
tees handled by the Federal
courts, and those who feel
that such a step is too dras-
tic. The fact is that a bill
without the court provision
cannot muster a majority
vote in the committee. I'm
less the opponents of the
court provision swallow their
aversion to it, there may be
no Taft-Hartley amend
ments considered by the
House this session.
