New Plan 10 Control
Defense Materials
BY the Assoeiossd Press

The administration is prepar-
ing to announce shortly a new
and almost painless" materials
control plan for the duration Of
the cold war. It is described as
convertible instantly into full
war ALLEGATION machinery.
The plan has the unanimous
approval of the cabinet-level adj
yisory board of the Office Of De-
Tense Mobilization, officials dis
closed. It is due for adoption
this spring if it clears two more
hurdles-the National Security
Council and the cabinet itself.
Four Requirements.
:. officials reported that the
plan, so far known only as the
new defense materials system"
(DMS1 is skeletoniZed alloca-
ton system designed to meet
these major requirements:
/. Although primarily a long
term preparedness measure. it
can protect the flow of basic
defense metals-steel, copper
and aluminum-to military con-
tractors as long as international
tensions exist.
2. 1t will eliminate perhaps
nine-tenths of the red tape
which. mobilization officials
state, would cause the existing
ALLEGATION machinery to "break
down of its own weight" under
peacetime conditions.
8. It retains a basic framework
which could be converted over
night into a controlled mate
rails plan'-the name given the
elaborate system for allocating
metal for military and civilian
users which was evolved after
two years of trial and error in
World War II. Nine months
were required to re-establish it
after the Korean invasion. OFF,
cials hold that such a lag could
not be permitted under the con-
ditions of atomic war.

by dietary changes have been sug-

The increasing Importance of cattle
asthma" will call for increasing
amounts of research until the cause is
determined and preventative measures
can be successfully applied.
Watch Cattle Closely
The only recommendation that can be
made at this time is to watch the cattle
very closely for about two weeks after
they have been turned into the hav
meadows in the fall. Some men ride
among the cattle every two hours night
and day during this time. If the dis
ease shows up, the cattle are removed
and fed hay for about 10 days. The
cattle are then placed back on the
meadows with no serious results. This
seems mighty strange but that is the
way it happens.
There is no specific treatment that
can be recommended other than hand
ling the affected cattle very carefully.
If at all. 1t is very easy to excite the
COW and cause extra strain on the
breathing apparatus. Some veterinar-
ians claim that the handling does more
harm than the treatment does good. All
kinds of remedies have been used on
the sick cows with varied results. Some
people claim that a laxative admins
tered when the cow first begins to show
breathing symptoms, prevents the dis
ease from developing further.

Try painting tracks on the floor of
your garage for your car to follow as
you drive it in. You'll be glad that you
did, especially if your garage is small,
for you'll be less likely to scrape the

either, or both.

Mr.. Hall and Republican Vitrio|
9. 0. P Chairman Described as Hardly the Man to Help
Curb Partisan Attacks for He Has Aided the Assault

Hall outlined these tours. de-

Abraham Lincoln by the
party's responsible authori-
ties.
Senator Mccarthy leads
these responsible authorities"
with nine speeches to which
he has given the malice
toward-none title of Twenty
Years of Treason"
Not single Senator identi-
fed with the Eisenhower wing
of the party appears among
the six runners-up. Senators
Duff. Saltonstall, Aiken, Thye.
Wiley and Margaret Chase
Smith are not in fact listed
for any Lincoln Day speeches
at all. Senator Carlson is
listed fol. three and Senator
Ives for one.
In contrast the party right
wing is largely represented,
behind Mccarthy, with Sena-
tors Mundt. Bennett and Gold
water listed for seven speeches
each; Senators Jenner and
Potter for five and Senator
Malone for four.
Nobody would expect the
President or Mr.. Hall to con-
troll members of Congress,
least of all Mccarthy. But
what Mr.. Hall has done is to
help provide the forums for
him and members of the party
who more or less share his
views.

ring statements by which Mr..
Truman sought to minimize
the cost to the American peo-
pie Of treason. If Mr.. Eisen-
hover now orders the Repub-
lican Party to be gagged on
such issues. he viii be flying
in the face Of q fundamental
principle that parties at all
times should be held account

and unless they show they

The mess" in Washington
was one Of the things the peo-
pie heard a great deal about
in the last campaign. Now
that the Republicans are able
to see what's in the files and
what's missing and have dis
covered how records We're de-
stroyed and personnel files
were tempered with. certainly
there are Democrats who want
to see these things suppressed
and covered up. But win Mr..
Eisenhower agree to such a
cover-up? 1t would be a big
victory for the Democratic
StrategistS If he did.
The argument is made that
the votes of the Democrats are
needed in Congress to support
the Presidents program. If
Mr.. Eisenhower, however, has
to buy their support by sup
pressing the facts about the
corruption and malfeasance of
the Roosevelt-Truman admin
istrations and the laxity about
Communists in Government,
the country will lose respect
for him as a political leader
and his opponents in Congress
will be found exacting every
day a higher and higher price
for their cooperation.
Mr.. EiSenhower's legislative
proposals will stand or fall on

But there is no such unanim-
ity in Indo-C China.
The war in Indo-C China is
now in it's eighth year, and the
lengthy struggle has tended
more to separate the people
from the rulers than to unite
them. Korea was. and is, an
independent republic. But the
several states of Indo- China
are still under French rule.
Only very recently did Paris
make few concessions to the
Indo-China demand for self
rule. The truth. unpleasant
though it may be, is that Ho
Chi Mini is considered today
by many of the people of Wet

nationalist patriot fighting for

Pile. Indo-China has been
either a colony or a protector
ate of France for nearly 100
years. Under these conditions
it is not too difficult to under
stand why its people can be
lured to the support of self
styled "liberators."
Ho Chi Mini is a French
educated revolutionary who
fought the Japanese in the last
war when the Vichy govern
ment had yielded the whole
country to the japanese invad-
ers. The strong nationaliSm of
Korea was given even stronger
sinews by the Red attack.
There is no such feeling of ma
tional resistance to aggression
in do-China, where most of
the people dislike the French
after years of colonial rule.
There has been no effective
propaganda campaign to con-
vince the Indo-C Chinese. that a
Wet Mimi victory would mean
only the absorption of Indo-
China into the Soviet Com
munist imperialism under the
tutelage of Peiping and Mos

y. S. to Stay Out Of Indo-Chino
Only the improbable Possibility of Red China Incursion
Southwark Could Bring in American Combat Forces
Constantine Brown

It is safe to say that only
an about incurSion of the
Chinese Communist armies
into Indo-C China will lead the
administration to take an
"active hand" in that war
and by "active hand" is meant
the actual use of American
combat forces.
For the time being, this
likelihood is viewed in the
Pentagon and at the State De-
partment as most improb-
able" The war in Indo- China
still has the characteristics of
a guerrilla campaign. There
are no indications that the
Chinese Communist troops on
the borders of Wet Mini will
be poured across the frontier,
as was the case in the fall of
1850 when up to a million Reds
were rushed across the Yalu
into North Korea. Then the
Chinese felt compelled to
march because the forces of
Red Gen. Nam II were being
annihilated. Without the
Chinese intervention. the Red
Koreans would have been
wiped out, and the country
reunited under the Seoul gov
eminent. Such a development
would have been disastrous to
Communists all over Asia.
No such condition exists at
present in Indo-China. The
rebel chief, Ho Chi Mini, is
more than holding his own.
The French and Wet Namese
are on the defensive. The war
equipment and supplies the
United States is sending will
bolster the defense, but no
military man in Washington
or in Saigon can visualize the
French forces going on the Of
fensive. Moreover, there is a
great difference in spirit be-
tween the Koreans and the
Indo- China peoples. The Red
blitz in 1850 rallied all South
Korea to the support of the
Rhee government. and political
diSsension was Sidetracked.

Out in Minnesota They Hint Of SkuIduggey in Connection
With Routine Renewal of Old Pneumatic Tube Contract

Way back in 1898 when Nc
Kinley was President, the New
York City post Office had a
problem. Mail deliveries in
that congested city were too
slow. Horse-drawn vehicles
spent too much of their time
in traffic jams. This was
embarrassing the New York
Office and the department in
Washington, endeavoring as
they were to live up to He
rodotus' description of the per-
feet postal system. Or maybe
you didn't know that it was
Herodotus who penned those
familiar lines: And neither
snow nor rain nor heat nor
gloom of night stays these
courierS from the swift accom-
plishment Of their appointed
rounds" He was talking
about the horSe-relay system
of the ancient PerSianS.
New York's problem was
solved by radical innovation,
the installation of a pneumatic
tube network beneath the sur
face of the city. Eventually
there were 81 miles of double
track tubes. connecting %
Substations with the main
Office. using $4,000 carriers,
each containing 400 to 500
letters, the carriers travelling
IL seconds apart. Nothing
like it in the world, and the
post Office was proud of it.
It was until quite recently. In
December, Postmaster General
Summerf1eld announced he
was canceling the contract
under which the system oper-
ated and abolishing the tube
service. Wasteful and ineffi-
cient. he said; he could do all
the tubes were doing by adding
q couple Of trucks to the New
York feet and save the coun-
