might have slipped the minds of

said. indicated that some had

Return Membership Cards.
Mr.. Albrook said he returned
his honorary membership card
when Senators called to ask him
about the cards they had re-
ceived, II advised them to send
the cards back" He said he took
care of the Senators he heard
about and as far as he knew
they had returned the cards.
Asked if any representations
for the club had been made to
him, Mr.. Mcleod said a few
months ago a. CongresSman's
secretary called and asked him
to talk with Quinn. He refused
to name either the legislator or
his secretary because he said he
was sure they knew nothing
about the previous investigation
of the club.
Quinn, accompanied by the
members secretary, came to
complain that there was too
much police traffic in the club,
Mr.. Mcleod said. He quoted
Quinn as saying that Judges
and other important people" Wis
tied the club and didn't like
police looking around all the
time.

expressed the idea that at the

sion of regulating legitimate

saw no reason why the hours of
legitimate private clubs should
be regulated.
1.-THE intention of the crime
bill was to eliminate bottle clubs
which were using the guise of
private clubs to get round the
limit on hours. The regulation
of hours of legitimate private
clubs is superfluous and unnec-
ceSSary."
He said the club was no longer
concerned about the police ac-
tivity. which at first was re-
garded as a form of harassment.

Doris Fleeson-

The inevitable next step in
the administrations monetary
program will be along any
minute now. It is a request
from the Treasury for an in
crease in the national debt
limit.
Senators expect that the In
crease sought will be from SIS
billion. to $40 billion. A Con-
gress which has now voted
four tax cuts is not quite In
a position to say no.
The Treasury tried and
failed last year to get Con-
gress to raise the debt limit
from $275 billion to $500 bil-x
lion. Then, however, the law
makers had extended the ex-
cess profits tax, though re-
luctantly, and were able to
take a high moral stand on
budget balancing with Secre-
tary Humphrey. They were
annoyed. too, because the re-
quest for the raise was flung in
at the last minute.
Senator Byrd, who had
warned the White House not
to attempt the maneuver, led
the fight to force the Treas
ury to manage as best 1t could.
The Treasury groaned but
made out, largely because 80
per cent of its corporation
taxes based on 1853 income
were payable within the first
six months of 1854. It also
adopted various emergency ex-
pedientS, including the moneti-
cation Of part Of the Govern
ment's free gold.
The anticipated loss Of reve-
nue. from the four tax cuts Is
between 81 billion and So bill
lion. Treasury statements in
dictate to Senators that on
June 80 the Treasury was
about So billion in the red
already.
They have not had any luck
at all in trying to get debt
estimates from the Treasury to
use in connection with the
tax cut debates. Mr.. Hum
phrey said he could not say
until the whole story of ap-
preparations and tax bills was
told.
Obviously the administra-
ton had determined not to use
the need for raising the debt
limit as q means of limiting
appropriations. It also wanted
the tax cuts, which are de-
Tended eloquently by Mr..
Humphrey as "help to the
economy to help itself. They
WILL" he argues, stimulate in
vestment and produce jobs"
That they are viewed as
good medicine politically was
proved by the fact the Demo-

still remains that the Eisen-

two before it. has preferred
more imitation to the risk Of
an accelerating def1ation.
June 81 last, for the second
time, the Federal Reserve
Board cut SIS billion from the
reserve requirements of mem
Der banks. The result is that
the banks can increase their
loans by about So billion
which means they can buy by
far the greatest part Of the
new securities the Govern
ment has to sell this fall. It
also will make private credit
cheaper, another infiationary
device.

tons, there is probably blame

were told was q great cause

United Nations. That organiza-
ton, moreover. passed in Feb
ruary, 1851. a solemn resolu-
ton declaring Red China the

alone remained the best means
Of ostracising the aggreSSor.
Now moral force Is collapsing,
too.
Nobody here has any quar-
rel with the people in China

inals In Peiping. To accept
these evil men as brothers is
to tell the people of all Of Asia
that the West is captivating.
1t would mean that South Ko-

Red China unless she decides
to fight for her life. A re-
sumption Of fighting would
bring new complications for
the United States. Japan
would be frightened. and the
chance to build an army there

be impaired. Admission Of
Red China indeed might set

Likewise, there is another

convince the American people
that its soldiers should go to
Europe to fight a third time.
The support of the American
people should be more inn
portant to the British and

Admitting Red China to y. N.
State Department Believed Grotfed to Have Leaders
Of Both Parties in Senate State Views on the Issue
Dovid LoWrence

The big mystery in world
affairs today is not that the
British government wants to
see Red China admitted into
the United Nations, but why
the issue was raised at this
time.
There is nothing new in the
British or American positions.
Everybody has known for
some time that London favors
the move and that Washing
ton opposes it. Then why has
the matter been given such
widespread publicity at the
moment, giving rise as 1t has to
formal statements by the Re-
publican leader and Demo-
cratic leader Of the Senate
reiterating the American OBJ
position? It is no answers
Representative Mccormack,
Democratic party leader In the
House Of Representatives, ex-
presses it-that Congress is
taking the initiative" away
from the executive branch of
the Government. TO say this
is to ignore the true situation,
which is that the Department
OF State was gratified to have
the Senate leaders proclaim
their views publicly. For the
State Department couldn't, in
the very nature Of things, say
anything except in the pri-
vacy Of diplomatic channels,
and this wouldn't get very far
toward swaying public opin-
lon either here or abroad.
Actually there wasn't much
time given In the Churchill
Eisenhower conference to the
discussion Of the problem of
admitting Red China to the
United Nations. It was men,
toned only briefly and didn't
have the Importance of even
being made a topic on the
agenda.
What, then, was back of it
all? The most plausible ex-
PLANTATION may be derived
from these two points:
Cd The British position his
torically is to play the role

Of broker" between the two
nations In conflict with each
other. Probably there isn't
the flimsiest idea In London
that the wishes Of the United
States with respect to keep
ing Red China out Of the
u. N. would be rejected by
two-thirds Of the members
Of the United Nations AS
sembly. But by sticking to
the Red China side, the Brit
ish and perhaps the new
French cabinet become the
friends Of the Peiping regime.
This could mean a whole lot
in East-WeSt trade negotia-
tions and other diplomatic
moves and could even cause
the Moscow government to
make concessions to the Brit
ish and French. The result,
therefore, might bring bene-
fits to the British and French
without any substantial harm
being done to the objective
sought by the United States.
For Red China would be kept
out Of the U. N. anyhow.
90 It is conceivable that
London and Paris are totally
unaware Of the depth Of feel
ing in the United States about
Red China's aggression. To
talk about the United States
withdrawing from the u. N.
if Red China is admitted may
really become academic. For
II the U. N. did admit Red
China, its prestige would
sink so low in the United
States that the absence or
presence of the United States
delegates in the u. N. would
be meaningless. Once an or
ganization tears up its own
pledged word and makes of q
treaty q scrap Of paper"
there is not much use worry
ing about how many meetings
the American delegates would
attend thereafter.

day because they were asked

Lowell WeHett-

Just a little belatedly the
Eisenhower administration has
done right by the man who did
so much to advance the mill
tary career Of the man now
President and who, by doing
so. made his political career
possible. The man, of course,
is Gen. George C. Marshall,
President Eisenhower's chief
during World War II, later
Secretary of State and Secre-
tary of Defense; likely to be
best remembered in the history
Of our times as the formula
tor Of the Marshall Plan,
whereby Europe has enjoyed
some security and achieved
some rehabilitation since the
end Of the great war.
This is the man of whom,
however, United States Sen
ator once said:
Gen. Marshall is not only
willing, he is eager, to play the
front man for traitors. The
truth is this is no new role
for him, for Gen. George C.
Marshall is a living lie. The
truth is that no one has been
so much a part of the tragic
betrayal of America that has
taken place during these re-
cent years."
The Senator who said this,
in a Senate speech, Septem-
Der Is, 1850, is William E. Jen-
ner of Indiana. Two years
later, without ever having re-
canted, Jenner received the
blessing of Gen. Eisenhower in
his campaign for reelection to
the Senate. He Is now chair
man Of the powerful Rules
Committee and Is presently
presiding over the considera-
ton Of proposed changes in the
rules governing committee in
'veStigations. This is said to &C
count to some degree for the
general doubt that anything
important will be done toward
introducing some needed re-
form in investigating methods,
said to be desired by the adj
ministration.

One of Grantland Rice's newspaper
colleagues once wrote, I'D rather be Rice
than be President" The written remark was
more than facetious plagiarism of Henry
Clay's oft-quoted announcement. It was,
instead, fair reflection of the respect and
fondness in which thousands Of persons in
many walks of life held the man who came
to be known as ''the dean of American
sportswriters" For Granny" Rice was a
personal friend to almost everybody he
ever knew He believed there was some
thing good and honorable in every man,
that each of them possessed the qualities
of loyalty and integrity which were so much
parts of his own character. Living by this
belief, he earned the friendships that were
his.
Until the very day of his death, at Is,
Grantland Rice was working at his beloved
career of covering the sports world. In
more than so years Of pounding type
writer, he had contributed millions of words
to the press and no thoughtful study of the
American way of life during this half
century would omit q reading Of the sports
