the sound policies of the Demo-
cratic Administration.
There is no room for partisan
pickering over the great issues
Of National survival. Our for
eign policy ought to be the for
eign policy of the United States
and not the foreign policy OF
one Senator. or one general, Oh
one admiral, or one party. The
Democratic Party understands
this.
The Republican administers
ton has repeatedly played
political tricks with the grave
and serious issues of both foreign
and domestic policies.
The State of the Union adj
dress by the Republican adj
ministration In 1853 launched
this business of conducting for
eign affairs for domestic political
advantage. 1t was in this ad-
dress that the administration
announced 1t was unleashing
Chang Kai-Shek to attack the
mainland of China. They an
nounced they were moving the
Seventh Fleet, which was there
only to protect Chang. Anyway
1t was a serious blunder, and
they had to put the fleet back.
The Republican administra-
ton must have known that the
picture Of an unleashed Chang
Kai-shek invading China was q
bare-faced political fraud. But
the idea behind all this was to
attempt to discredit the sound
policy Of the Democratic adj
mmistration which was carefully
designed to limit the conflict in
the Far East.
Hopes for Cease Fire
And now the Republican. adj
ministration is desperately try
ing not only to limit the con-
f1ict in Asia, but to get a per-
manent cease-flre there. I fer
vently hope they do. But the
administration, by this unfor-
tunate political maneuver in its
State of the Union message, has
enabled the Communists to pic
ture US as instigating and pre-
pairing an attack on China and
has embroiled us in contro-
versies with almost all our allies
In Asia and in Europe.
IT We are face to face in Asia
with the prospect Of war, a wal
which the administration says
may have to be fought with
atomic weapons. nobody is going
to get any political advantage
out of it. If we are pushed into
the abyss Of a new war, the
whole world may tumble into
that abyss with us.
I suggest that as Americans
working together in good faith
we ought to back a National BIZ
partisan foreign policy with
these simple fundamental aims
First, let us keep the free
nations together for a common
purpose, and that is to defend
our common freedom.

New Jersey filed suit today to
recover 100000 in State funds
which it contends was diverted
by the late Harold G. Hoffman,
former Republican Governor, to

Attorney General Grover C.

State Senator Is Winner
OF One-Punch Cafe Frocos

II hit my head on the table on

The Baltimore businessman
said he went before Magistrate
Stanley Richardson and tried to
get a warrant for Mr.. Bertorelli's S
arrest, but was refused.
Judge Richardson said he
would not issue the warrant be-
cause Mr.. Vittelo had no wit
nesses and showed no visible
marks of battle.
Mr.. Bertorelli termed the
fracas "a minor scuffle-nothing
to it." The Baltimore Senator,
like Mr.. Vittelo, did not care to
disclose what caused the fight.
Mr.. Vittelo was once a candi-
date for the State Senate from
the I'd district of Baltimore City
but withdrew before the election.

admitted being involved in a

The match pitted State Sena-

Michael A. Vittelo, cab company
operator.
Mr.. Vittelo acknowledged he
came off second best. He said
he had words with Mr.. Ber-

and said, II don't have to take
that from you"

Mr.. Wickersham thinks that
other members are almost as

and has borrowed on his life
insurance and his salary.
Believes People Are Willing.
He believes that the people
are willing to pay their repre-
sentatiyes in Congress what he
calls "a living wage commensu-
rate with the work they do"
Some members. he admits are
fearful Of voting themselves
more money. They tell him that
if he doesn't like the ill-paid job
of congressman he can always
quit.
But any other man, no mat
ter who he is would face the
same problem. says Mr.. Wick
erSham.

City Tentatively Okoys
Hacker Requirements

The District Commissioners
today tentatively adopted a list
of qualifications for taxi drivers,
but postponed decision on a plan
to have police approve hackers
licenses instead Of the Depart
|ment Of Veehicles and Traffic.
In addition. at their regular
Isemi-Weekly board meeting, the
city heads:
1. Failed to decide on when
or how to tear down the shack
in front Of the District building
which was occupied until yes
Iterday by the Veterans Service
Center. ,5
2. Formally approved a $749,-
655 contract between the Rede-
|veiopment Land Agency and the
Federal Housing and Home FL
nance Agency to help pay for
surveys and planning Of the
Northwest Urban Renewal Area,
which generally covers the Sec
Iond Police Precinct.
3. Approved Redevelopment
Land Agency resolution under
which the Interior Department
will give up the south portion OF
the Randall Recreation Center
in exchange for land to the east
lof the center. This was a legal
lity involved in laying out the
lredevelopment pattern of Area
B in the Southwest Redevelop-
Iment area.
4. Took under consideration a
complaint by the Board of Exam
liners of Veterinarian Medicine
against the use of the signature
of the director Of the Depart
ment Of Occupations and Pro-
fessions on Veterinary licenses.
The qualifications proposed for
would-be taxi drivers require
hackers to have lived at least
one year in the last three in
the Washington Metropolitan
Area; that they be able to read,
write and speak English; be over
81 years old; have driven for
one year; not be covered by
diplomatic immunity: not be on
parole or probation except with
official permission: have not been
convicted or served a criminal
sentence In the last three years:
nor have any disease which
would make them unable to
drive a taxi.
Despite previous agreement on
transfer Of the responsibility for
issuing hackers licenses from the
Traffic Department to the Police
Department. Traffic Director
George e. Keneipp made last
minute objection.
He suggested that his depart
ment. which is now responsible
for final approval of hackers
licenses. now take over giving Of

cause the Police Department is

than a license issuance agency.
Deputy Police Chief John j.
Agnew said the department
previously had tried to shift the
JOB to the Department OF
Vehicles and Traffic, but that
the director had said he could
mot handle 1t.
Speaking for the Veterinary
Board, Secretary Irving O.

to new license forms which carry
the signature of Robert e.

iment Of Occupations and Profess
lsions. Calling 1t a matter OF
principle" he said, mo sigma
ture, other than those Of the
board members. should be re-
lquired to validate a license"
