Nothing has been agreed
upon with reference to the
forthcoming conference at
Geneva on the Korean and
Indo- China problems except to
talk. Hence misgiYings now
about what conclusions may be
reached will not necessarily
turn out to have been justified.
The Secretary Of State, John
Foster Dulles, knows by this
time that American public
opinion does not favor admis-
sion of Communist China into
the Security Council of the
United Nations. and Congress
has indicated clearly that the
day Red China goes in will be
the day the movement in the
United States to get out Of the
u. N. will receive its biggest
impetus.
So the fears which are being
expressed about a Far East
ern Munich" are in the nature
of warnings. They are based
on an apprehension that Great
Britain and France may force
the United States into an
isolated position at the Geneva
conference and that large sec
tons Of world opinion would
then blame America for
blocking peace" in Asia if the
American Secretary of State
refuses to go along with pro-
posals to put Red China into
the U. N.
The informal expressions of
attitude which have come from
congressional leaders now that
Secretary Dulles has explained
his viewpoint are in themselves
salutary. for they serve to
underline to the whole world
the fundamental issues and the
trend of American opinion. But
to assume that Mr.. Dulles will
be out-traded at Geneva or
that America will not be able
to support her moral position.

the Russians have done no less
than the West to avoid war.
They have at least equal rea-
sons with the West to view

shift in power relations, which,
with the adhesion of a re-

not write off that they con-

They have never said that

Britain both build up armed

Hoqerstown VA Office

BALTIMORE, Feb. "a. - The
Veterans Administration said
yesterday it will close its con-
tact office in Hagerstown effec-
tive March 80.
William L. Limburg, manager
Of the VA regional Office for vet
Grams at Hagerstown has de-
clined to the point that it is no
longer practical to keep the
Hagerstown Office open.
The Hagerstown Office was one
of six established by the VA in
l945 to handle the onrush of
veterans returning from World
War II service. Others were at
Cumberland, Frederick, Annapo-
lis. Salisbury and Cambridge.
Only the facility in Cumberland

are beginning to see that. AS
the Senator continues to lord
1t about the stage, sneering
at the State Department and
the defense establishment, he
strengthens the hold of the
party's right wing element
with which he is identified.
With a few more successes. he
could very nearly seize its
leadership. That wing of the
party has won no elections
and can win none.
It can be said with little
exaggeration that survival Of
the party depends on whether
this Old Guard right wing can
be brought under control.
That is the challenge to the
President. and also to his party
leaders in the Senate. 1t is
up to them to act positively to
back up the President plainly
and openly-otherwise he can
not win this battle in which
he seems finally to have en-
listed himself.
He is in a fight that will
require not only courage but
skill. For there is no single
Individual so powerful in the
political affairs of our coun-
try as an irresponsible United
States Senator. Especially is
that true If he is a committee
chairman, as Is Senator Nc
Carthy. Then he has not only
the power of baseless and
scurrilous indictment in his
cloak of immunity, but can
conduct a star chamber in
QUESTION by his power of
subpoena.

fired Jones and announced he
hoped Margaret Smith would

Union Wins $4,000
Judgment Against
Montgomery Ward
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Munici-
pal Judge Joseph B. Hermes
yesterday ordered Montgomery
Ward & Co. to pay $1,000 in
attorneys fees and S25O.0OO
damages to CLIO union which,
he ruled. the company mali
ciously attempted to destroy.
The Judgment was among the
largest in the history of Chi
cago's Municipal Court.
The award went to the United
Mail Order. Warehouse and
Retail Employees Union. The
unions membership at Wards
dropped in 10 years from 1000
to 10 at present. The union no
longer represents Ward en-
ployes.
The damages covered the
period from June Is, 1945. when
a temporary induction was issued
against the union prohibiting
it from making statements
against the company in union
publications. until May 10, 1948,
when the United States Supreme
Court ruled in favor of the
union.
Wards Filed Libel Suit.
The attorneys fees dated back
to November, 1913. when Wards
filed a 81 million libel suit
against the union.
Judge Hermes ruled the dam
ages were for loss Of member
ship by the union. loss of dues
and general expenses of fight
ing Wards injunction.
The union originally sued for
100000 in the suit filed last
April, but an additional $780,
600 in punitive damages was
asked during the course Of the
trial.
The union was certified as
bargaining agent in 1912, but
the company at first refused to
bargain, said Attorney Francis
Hessler representing the union
The National Relations Board
ordered Wards to enter into a
one-year contract with the I'M
ion and this was signed Deem
Der 6, 1912.
In fighting the 1945 injunc-
ton. the union commended it vio-
lated State and Federal consti-
tutional provisions for freedom
of the press.

SOUR GRAPES
IN A FEW DAYS LABOR JAY will be here and with it
the long holiday weekend that brings the summer vacation
season, more or less, to a close. It is an appropriate finale to
summer ~gaiety-LABOR DAY, reminder Of work to be re-
sumed, studies to continue and vacation clubs to be fed
until Summer rolls around again.
THE FIRST Monday in September, the day set aside.
and dedicated to the LABORER, was instituted by the
KNIGHTS OF LABOR in 1882 and made a legal holiday by
Congress in 1894. Working men parade, hold meetings and
are generally festive on this day. Samuel Gompers, champion
Of LABOR, founded the American Federation Of Labor AZ
IL and was its president until he died in 1924, before the
advent Of the LABOR TYCOON. He advocated SHORTER
HOURS, MORE A and CREATED FREEDOM for Work
ers. Late in his career he tried to work out a world program
for LABOR, but RADICALISM, REACTIONS & STRIKES,
ironically threatened to undo the good work he had done.
POWER rs dangerous and STRIKES, the UNIONS
number one weapon, a human shillalah they WELD ihdiscrimi-
nately over the Capitalists, is unfortunately one Of their
worst features. UNIONS have done much to improve the
status Of the working man. Never has he had it 50 good.
His salary affords him a car, televsion, radio, telephone and
yery often his own lovely home. UNION LEADERS, how
ever, drunk with power, power fostered by the millions Of
dollars dues poured into Unions cash boxes, and the thou
sands of workers behind them, are not satisfied and have be-
come greedy, worse than Capitalists, really. Dictated to, re-
gimented, the Workers have to STRIKE whenever they are
told, whether they like it Or not, remaining unemployed
months at a time, picketing, walking up and down sandwich
ed in between STRIKE signs, victims OF violence, and pedes-i
trian Jokes, insults and scorn, their families suffering.
SOONER OR later the Capitalist boss agrees, then jacks
up prices, thus Unions sire a vicious circle that has Mr.
John q. Public paying through the nose. LABOR UNIONS
have staked a definite claim on our American way Of life, one
that is yielding rich pay dirt. Politically, they have the Ia

Flexible Plan
Fits House for
Country Living
Design Permits
Formal and
Informal Use
By Robert J. Lewis

In houses, as well as in pol
itics, people can be misled by
symbolism.
One sees a fiat roof and one
is apt to think: "Ah, a modern
house." when actually the plan
Is an abomination that the
modern architect would be
first to condemn.
What you might suspect at
first glance to be an original,
clean and bold contemporary
house may turn out to be. on
close examination, only a
wretched plagiarism Of the
real thing-fit only to photo
graph and not really to live in.
What seems, on the other
hand, to be the sober garb of
unobtrusive traditionalism
may. in reality, be merely the
surface masquerade of a house
that is gay, bright and a real
whingding when it comes to
advanced, imaginative and
harmonious planning.
The house shown here today
Is proof that in homes, as in
other things, appearances can
be deceiving. Aside from the
traditionalism of its hipped-
roof and its H plan, this house
has relatively few links with
the far past.
In some respects, it's interior
plan is as unconventional as
that of many houses avowedly
contemporary.
For one example, the kitchen
is wholly open to the living
room and is a part of its dec
orative scheme, as you can see
by one photo on this page. For
another, large glass areas open
the living room and inclosed
terrace porch to a view of a
garden and rolling pasture be-
yond.
This is a country house near
Middleburg, Va, located on a
120-acre farm having an en-
tirely separate farmhouse on
another section of the prop
erty. The architect was Will
liam Dewey Foster. Owners
are DR.. and Mrs. E. H.
Gushing.
The house itself has maxi
mum dimensions of 80 by Sc
feet. Besides a large living
room, there are a master bed
room suite with dressing room
and bath; guest bedroom with
bath; two children's bedrooms,
each with bath; large kitchen,
laundry-utility area, inclosed
terrace porch whose one end
serves as a dining area, and an
entry with clothes closets and
gun rack.
The house Is built Of brick,
painted a warm gray. It has
a slate roof with vents at the
ridge. Interior walls are plas-
tered.
Floors are of concrete sur.
faced with terrazzo, except in
bedrooms. which are carpeted.

two rooms are kept open to

that are recessed into the wall
