Soviets Object Over Soviet protest, Brig. Gen.' Carlos P. Romulu, campaigner from the Philippine' islands, was elected president of the fourth United Nations general assembly. Only the five nations of the Soviet bloc opposed his election. IGNORING the Soviet attitude, Romulu's first act was an appeal that the delegates make this gathering a real "peace assembly." According to newsmen, Yugo--' slavia apparently voted against the Soviet bloc for the first time, in the secret ballot for president, but declined to admit it publicly. The new president, acknowledging that mapy obstacles to peace still exist, said the danger of a new war had abated and that the delegates must press this advantage. HE CALLED upon them to move forward boldly in the spirit of international cooperation called for by the Mexican resolution approved unanimously in Paris last year. Romulus choice as chief of the assembly was seen as indicating friction in debate on issues as the Soviet bloc could be expected to leader at fight the every turn where opposition could be maintained. Top Russian delegate Vishinsky had also spoken out for harmony, but on the basis of past performance by the Russians, his attitude was open to doubt English-connecte- d d porters.

And pain borne bravely never fails to bring The high white look of Christ to any face. On any cross of sorrow and despair We learn the secret Gods own Son learned there. The declaration came from a man whose qualifications entitle him to the rating of expert Gen. Henry H. Arnold, wartime chief of U.S. air forces. The statement, made in a book, "Global Missions," was that it isnt armies or navies that Russia fears, but only bomber strength. "Lets put it this way," the general wrote. "Russia has no tear of an army, she thinks hers is just as good and bigger than any other in the world; she has no fear of a navy since she cant see how it could be employed against her; but she does fear our strategic air force which she cannot as yet match, or as yet understand. In the strategic air force, coupled with our atomic bomb, at this writing we hold the balance of power in the world." "But, he warned, "by tomorrow the picture may change. Arnold minced no words in the dim view he takes of the Russians. "The Russians, he says, "would have none of the American proposal that the American air force be allowed to build bases in Siberia to attack Japan." Similarly, he recalled that agreement for bases in Russian territory to be of Gerused for many, was ended after a short time by Moscow. The air force, in the current squabble over armed-servicprestige as a result of the unfication bill, could take much solace and encouragement from General Arnold's statements.

AND that was the chief rub was the solution one that would solve Just the current situation, or was it the entire answer? The bulk of the thinking on that angle was that it was not the panacea, with most observers preferring to "wait and see before committing themselves to any analysis of the devaluation effect Meanwhile Canada had joined the nations parade of devaluating the pound. THE DEVALUATION move was a sword in the British dollar crisis, for just as it might result in increased buying of British goods by Americans because of lowered costs, it would mean, feOb that the English would have to pay more for the items they bought at home.

He said he feared that any "meddling with the bill might impair its force and effect Republican Vandenberg, spokesman in the senate on foreign policy, declared that the arms-aiprogram might be regarded either as life insurance or fire insurance and said that in any case it is a bargain policy as far as peace is concerned. Referring to the North Atlantic defense pact he said that pact included a pledge to maintain forces that can resist armed attack. Too, he pointed out European allies have weaknesses that the arms bill would help overcome. Vandenberg declared that it would be in "honorable keeping" with U.S. treaty obligations to adopt the arms bill. "I think it is definitely and specifically in the interests of our own national defense," he went on. "I think it is a discouragement to I think it is prime and vital war peace insurance. He argued that the plan to send American tanks, guns and planes to Europe falls squarely within the commitments of the North Atlantic pact which the senate ratified by a vote of 82 to 13.

The night preced- ing the day of his arrival the ranchers of the Roaring River Valley held a meeting in the Paradis Saloon. Mark Raoul, largest cattle owner in the vicinity, was the spokesman. "No u se in expectin re- sults from this young deputy theyre sending up from the county seat. Hes a westerner with eastern ideas an a college education.

"How we gonna do that," Rex Rupert wanted to know, when we ain't got a notion where the rustlers is takin our cattle?" "We got as good a notion," Mark shot at him, "as any smart young deputy sheriff what aint dry behind the ears yet." Vic Stuart, redheaded, freckled, and friendly, arrived the next morning and announced himself to be the new deputy assigned to the Roaring River Valley cattle rustling business. Rex Rupert, committee of welcome, looked the youth over and decided the ranchers had been smart in postponing their vigilante organization. But Rex betrayed none of the confidence he felt when he explained the circumstances. Vlo listened and smiled and his blue eyes crinkled at the corners.

The rustlers were taken by surprise. They had no idea as to the size of the attacking force, and after a desultory attempt to fight off the invaders, the main body broke and fled. The big surprise of the affair occurred when Vic Stuart rode up with the masked leader of the rustlers and, standing before Rex and his riders, tore off the leaders mask, revealing the snarling features of Mark Raoul. "Matter of brains," Vic grinned. Funny thing It didnt occur to any of you hombres whove lived In this country all your lives that even a bunch of rustlers couldnt camp where there wasnt water.
