And that was the happy

incarceration because he re-

then released to work in a

He returned to Bieyalei to
find about 200 survivors Oh
the 10000 Jews. Like him

Life there was good-he had
a home, a good trade as a
painter. But came ShabboS,
the holidays and his unhappi-
ness became intolerable. AL
though he was among Jews,
in a beautiful land, it was not
enough.
To hear him express the
ever-present longing, the need
for proximity to his own
"blood and kin" that drove
him relentlessly so that he
had no peace until he could
be with his brother in Amer
lea, is stark drama. Now he
contently looks forward to a
good life in Tucson.
Zemel Yuden hopes to go
back to Israel to visit, maybe
some day again to live. Over
and over again he talks of
that beautiful country, much
like Tucson. The cultural life
is rich-the theater, opera,
music. Americans should all
visit the "shOenSte land"

For many weeks now, as the
Indo- China question has been
debated in Washington, the
administration has made clear
that it would not intervene
alone in the Indo- China crisis
but would take military action
only if the states or nations
concerned wanted America to
do so. The fact is that the
French forces, together with
the native troops. are adequate
for the f1ght>against the Com

dire need for air and sea
power, both of which the
United States has available for
immediate use in the Indo-
China area.
Already, talks are going on
among the major powers of the
free world as to how best to
use combined military forces
in the Indo- China war. This
has been done fortwo reasons:
First, the Communist delegates
here must understand that
they cannot refuse to agree
to an armistice on terms which
take the aggressor armies out

a veritable revolution breaking

Oklahoma, and Smathers of

that lasted for two days, slowly

Two Senators Are Credited With Stopping Bricker Proposal
To Permit Higher Charges Before Approval by the ICC

How the Eisenhower program
In Congress has been obscured
somewhat by the publicity
cloud thrown up by the Sena-
tor McCarthy-Ar Army investiga-
ton has been the subject Of
concern among administration
leaders, aS is well known.
But such a cloud also offers
often q convenient screen be-
hind which other things, not
so laudable as that program
or even contrary to the public
interest, can go on in Congress.
OF this there was another
illustration in the Senate last
week which had a dramatic
aspect because the play was
broken UP by two younger
members Of the Senate. The
whole episode, which ran along
for three days because Of the
rumpuS the two Senators
stirred up, got only scrimpy
publicity and most of that on
the financial pages of news
papers. though it affects every
body as consumers, as well as
farmers and shippers directly.
Involved was q bill brought
In by Senator Bricker, Repub-
lican, of Ohio, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commit

GENEVA, May IL. = The
United Nations may have to
order the action permitting
the United States and associ-
ated governments to take the
military steps In Indo- China
that are necessary II Commu-
mist aggression In Southeast
Asia is to be stopped inn
mediately.
This procedure would be
separate from what is con-
templated In the Southeast
Asia security treaty, which is
designed for the long-range
protection Of the area and not
for the current situation. The
mere fact that this pact, too,
is being planned now could
buttress the United Nations
approach to the Indo-C China
problem in the near future.
It will be recalled that
President Truman felt that
no congressional authorization
was necessary to send Ameri-
can forces into Korea in June,
1950-merely q notification to
leaders Of both parties In the
Senate and House. The mill {
tary operations that followed
were held to be implicit In the
treaty by which the United
States had accepted the obli-
cations Of the United Nations
Charter.
: For q long time, world opin-
ION has been mobilized behind
the thought that, if aggres-
sion occurs which threatens
the territorial integrity of any
country-that is. if there is a
threat to peace anywhere-the
members of the United Ma
tionS have a duty to collab-
crate in a collective action to
remove the threat or to put
down the aggression.
Certainly, as Of today, there
are aggressor armies In Laos
and Cambodia, and these in
vaders come from Vietnam in
the form Of q Communicated
force known as the Vietminh.
For many months the question
has been asked why. with such
an obvious case for United Ma
tions action, no use has been
made of the U. N. machinery.

lead Immediately to an emer-
gency meeting Of the United
Nations General Assembly,
which could by ajority vote
call on all members OF the
United Nations to- act together
militarily to curb the agrees
sion in Indo-C China.
The fact that this procedure
Is available and has been dis,
cussed by the British, French
and American delegations here
in the last few days is known
to the Communists and could
have q salutary effect on their
attitude toward the making Of
an immediate armiStice. II an
armiStice doesn't come now,
the issue is certainly headed
for the United Nations, with
military action to be taken by
q group Of associated powers
analogous to that which oc-

contingency Is under way now
on q theoretical basis, as It

need for further meetings at

are concerned. and that rail-

Most persuasive, perhaps, in
stopping the bill was q recital
of the circumstances Of its

brought protests from every

ed with transportation, includ.
ing the ICC, by shippers. farm

to railroads. Because of the
complaints, the bill was re-
written by Senator Bricker and
its two co-sponsors. Senators
Capehart, Republican, Of In

Of Colorado. in an effort to
meet objections.
It was this rewritten bill

this form, it never had been
