ruary, 1854, when the de-
cisions were being made?
It is simple. Grant says 1t.
Let him say it:
II regarded the Army Of
the Potomac as the center,
and all west to Memphis =.
and north Of it as the right
wing: the army Of the James,
under General Butler, as the
left wing. and all other
troops south as q force In the
rear Of the enemy. In
this way 10000 men were
added to the Army Of the
James alone. / arranged
for simultaneous movements
along the line. Sherman
was to move from Chatta-
nooga, Johnston's army and
Atlanta being his objec-

ston. The Confederates did
not at that time think Of Lee
as commander. But, even had
they done so. Johnston was

"but I never wanted to put
my arms around him the way
I did Gen. Johnston.

said: Forward"
The roads were muddy.
His troopers moved along
them, swearing, digging out
the guns, fighting, dying. re-

The Plan to Close the Dollar GAP

lations job the contemplated
government tourist offices
abroad might do.
The suggestion has been
made recently in some unof-
ficial quarters that we adopt
the system Of "the tourist
dollar" and permit foreigners
to purchase a limited amount
Of American currency at low
er prices. This method was
used before World War u by
Germany and Italy, which
provided tourist marks and
lires to be purchased outside
their borders at a substantial
discount. It is being adopted
at present by the Soviet
Union, which has enhanced
artificially the value Of the
ruble.
Until recently the French
had q modified version Of this
method Of getting dollars into
their country. Many shops
selling luxury articles were
authorized by the government
to accept dollar checks and
offer Is per cent discount on
such purchases. The checks
then were accepted at the Of
ficial value Of the dollar by
the French national banks. %
But even this was an ad-
mission that the French
franc did not represent its
official value, and whichever
way one looks at such ma
neuvers. adoption Of similar
ones by the United States
would mean an admission
that the dollar does not rep
resent its value in free ex-

Two Orders Made in February, 1864,
Pres0ged Union Drive to Victory

In a time when the South
ern politicians Of the more
rabid, witless number. are
trying to draw leadership
from the past, let US take
some facts from the alter
nately bleak and Sunlit pages
Of history.
In February, 1864, Gen.
U. s. Grant sent in o report.
He was not q garrulous man.
He was up against politics.
We have persons today who
deplore military control. We
all fear 1t. We all are willing
to oppose 1t. But the facts
are that complete civilian
control in war can be worse
than complete military con-
troll. Note the implications,
of February, 1864, in the lean
language Of U. s. Grant, the
new commander Of all the
armies Of the United States
Army:
1.-THE Union armies were
divided into 19 departments,
though four Of them in the
West had been divided into
a single military division.
The Army Of the Potomac
was a separate command.
There were thus II district
commanders :. I deter
mined to stop this. :"
So wrote Grant.
Three years Of bloody war
had been fought.
On both sides Of the bor-
der things were the same.
Why did not Lee defeat
him? There are many rea-
sons Of manpower, supply,
transportation and equip
ment, and command.

Then there are the short

broadcasts lack simplicity.
They are written for the eye
rather than the ear. Mos
COW puts across its short
wave broadcasts in many in
stances In more understand
able English than does the
"Voice Of America" This
could easily be remedied.
The biggest single flaw In

Nome Firm Loses
 Ownership Rights of Buildings at Unalakleet

OLYMPIA. Wash. LR - The Washington State Supreme Court ruled against a Nome, Alaska, firm Thursday in a dispute over ownership rights of certain build ings used in the construction of the Unalakleet radio station in 1855.
 In 50 departmental decision, the court said the Lee Bros. Dredging Co. of Nome failed to live LID to it's contract with the Anderson Construction Co.,, Inc, of Washington State by not erec- ting housing facilities and a mess hall for workers at the site on Norton Sound.
 The high court upheld the de- cision of Pierce County Superior Court Judge Bertil Johnson in which he affirmed the right of Anderson Construction Go. to take over ownership of the buildings.
 The court said the Nome firm had agreed to transport certain surplus buildings at Marks Field in Nome and erect them at Una lakleet.
 However, the firm only de- posted the buildings on the beach. The Anderson Construction Go. then took over title to the build ings and finished the job.

Egan Takes Strong Security Measures Throughout Alaska

JUNEAU tP - A tense interna- tional situation has prompted Alaska's Governor to take strong security measures throughout the vast state.
 Gov. Egan, Monday issued a directive outlinging procedures to be followed by all state person. nel observing unusual movements of foreign ships, planes or per- sons which might have some bearing on national security or be in violation of state or federal law.
 The Governors directive fol- lowed by one week request to the State Department to increase patrol activities by the Navy and Coast Guard of Alaskan waters following a report of a Russian and a Japanese vessel being ob- served within Alaska's territorial waters fishing along the Aleu- tian Chain.
 Egan said that it is within the realm of possibility that the fish ing operations could be a cover up for the for the placing of electronic gear in the area that would relay information to the Russians.
 Egan said in his directive: "In view of the present international situation and Alaska's geographi- call location, it is urgent that the proper military authorities and the Governor be notified immedi- ately following the detection of unusual activity by foreign ships, planes or persons. The sequence of reporting will save valuable time and aid in averting possible disaster"

For that reason, we are fortunate to have our
new, permanent disarmament agency, working at
the highest level of our government. 1t is under the
direction of William c. Foster, man thoroughly
experienced in the areas of defense and international
negotiation. Now we need no longer rely hastily
convened committees and borrowed experts to meet
the life and death issues of arms control.
Those in the new agency can give continuity of
thought and preparation to their great task. They
can seek the final goal - they can also formulate
first steps toward peace. As you probably know that
was one of our main points of disagreement. The
Soviet Union says: General and complete disarma-

are worthwhile in themselves There are indications
we may be closer to an accord on this principle.

of how small first steps lead to final success. 1t
is the general and complete disarmament of the

Police State?

A few days ago, Senator Morse, who
opposes any change in the Mallory
Rule, declared: Don't tell me you can't
have an effective police force without
police state methods"
=. AS far as we can determine no one
was trying to tell the Senator that
police state" methods are essential to
effective police work. The fact is that
we did not have police state in the
Nations Capital before the Mallory
Rule, requiring arraignment of criminal
suspects without unnecessary delay,
was announced by the Supreme Court
And we would not have a police state
here If Congress were to enact legisla-
tion modifying the Mallory Rule to give
the police a reasonable opportunity to
question suspects before arraignment
This has now been recommended by a
House Judiciary subcommittee, and
Endorsed by United States Attorney
Acheson. A matter of this kind, of vital
concern to the community, ought not
to be discussed in exaggerated terms.

George Wharton Pepper

George Wharton Pepper, passing on
at "a, will be remembered nationally for
his services as one Of Pennsylvania
notable Senators and lawyers Wash
ington remembers him also, however, for
his long devotion to and energy in behalf
Of the Washington Cathedral. In fact,
it is no exaggeration to credit him with
major part in the founding, building
and development of the great Episcopal
institution on Mount ST. Adams.
Mr.. Peppers vision of an imposing
cathedral in the heights of Northwest
Washington began to develop many
years before he entered the Senate, in
1922. 1t was he who helped to obtain the
Cathedral charter more than go years
ago. He picked the site on which the
Cathedral now stands, took an active
part in raising funds for construction
of the edifice and organized the Ma
tional Cathedral Association, which has
aided in promoting numerous cathedral
projects. The South Portal of the Wash
ington Cathedral bears the name of the
late Mrs. Pepper, in honor of her and
her husbands work.
In short, the Washington Cathedral
stands as monument to the foresight,
tireless endeavors and faith Of the
former Senator. He could not have
asked for more appropriate memorial.
