This will make the third major exposition San Diego has held; in its Balboa Park, the first in 1815 and the second in 1935.

According to Moscow's version, it was the South Koreans who started things in Korea. The North Koreans are merely counter-attackinAnd of course the United State, too, is held to be guilty of aggression against the "Korean people." But thanks to the UN Korean commission, the world knows exactly what the facts were when the invasion began. By that date, the North Koreans already had sliced across the 38th parallel bordering South Korea at several points. These salients, designed to give the northerners tactical advantage, were never wiped out by the defenders. The United Nations could wisely adopt a church group that watch-d- o , a proposal :by commissions be placed in trouble spots all around the world. The suggestion comes from the commis- sion of the Churches on International Affairs. Its leadership includes John Foster Dulles, Republican adviser to the state department; Francis B. Say re, U. S. delegate to. the UN trusteeship council; Arnold Toynbee, British historian; Charles Malik, Lebanon minister to the U. S., and several other prominent figures. It's perhaps doubtful whether such watchdog commissions would act; as the, group declares, as a "deterrent to aggression and a third World War." After all, a UN observer commission was in Korea June 24 and before, but it didn't stop the North Koreans from marching. But such commissions can perform one vital service: carefully assessing the political and military situation in each of the critical areas, and establishing the truth about aggression if and when it occurs. We need only listen to the prattling of ' Russia's representative on the UN security council, Jacob Malik, to realize that any J aggressive move anywhere by Russia or her satellites will be twisted into a "peace- - g. . . made clear that the North Koreans were massing men and armor and were clearing civilians out of the border zones from which an attack would be launched. In contrast, the South Korean constabulary army was doing little or nothing. Not only was it not deploying for, an assault; it wasn't even placing itself wisely for defense. More than that, as we now; know for more all too well, it wasn't equipped ' action. internal than police All these facts are documented and in the UN's hands because a commission was on the scene to establish them quickly. The information actually was in the UN's when the security council met to to end the aggression. try ' Russia being what it is, we will get this same fantastic inversion of the truth everywhere she threatens.

We have documentary! proof of this daring plan, which already has the secret backing of nationally known conservatives. ' In brief, the plan calls for Republicans and ' Southern Democrats to join forces, without changing party affiliations. However, they would merge their seniority and run congress jointly. Then the next step would be to organize a similar coalition to dominate the electoral college and- name a conservative president. The ringleader of this amazing plot is a North Carolinian, named J. stocky, ruddy-face- d Harvie Williams. Though comparatively unknown, he claims to have the support of such GOP leaders as Senator Karl Mundt of South Dakota and John Bricker of Ohio. Congressman Charlie Halleck of Indiana and Frederic Coudert of New York; also such southern stalwarts as . Senators Harry Byrd of Virginia and Dick Russell of Georgia, Congressman Gene Cox of James F. Georgia, and Dixiecrat Governor-Ele- ct Byrnes of South Carolina. I PAINSTAKING PLAN Williams has set forth his "political realignment", plan in painstaking detail in . a series of "strictly confidential" memos, which are also marked: "Please do not discuss outside al-lia- nce - - ity of 54 seats to 42. In the house; he expects to lose 21 Republicans and 13 Southerners, giving the coalition control of the house by a margin. WiUiams explains: "In effect, this realignment would create a new party, but without the necessity of any change of party names. This realignment is legally possible now. The rules of the senate and the rules of the house speak of the majority and of the minority rather than of Democrats and Republicans; and members of congress are elected under the election laws of the 48 states. "Similarly," he "continues, "presidential electors are elected under the laws of the several states. The 1948 'secession' of the Democratic parties in four southern states indicates the method and the possibilities of extending into the election of the president." "FRONT" ORGANIZATION Williams has already formed a "Front" organization to carry out his plan. He calls it the citizens political committee, though he admits frankly "its title does not disclose its purpose." 240-to-1- 95 jt ar - joint-nominati- ed sympathetiecircles." "Our plan for political realignment is a simple one," he writes. "It involves nothing more than ' a formal alliance between Republicans and Southern Democrats in the senate, in the house and in the electoral college." Of the 64 senators in the Republican-Souther- n Bloc, Williams calculates that three Southerners ane seven Republican senators would refuse to join the alliance.

In World War II, with an increase' of less than 7 per cent car ownership, the over pre-woutput of railroad freight service was more than doubled.

In a private letter, dated May 13, Williams names Albert Hawkes of New Jersey as the leading money raiser. "Senator Hawkes has agreed to handle that (money raising)- for us," Williams writes. "I am not going to initiate any new prospects, and have turned over to Hawkes the- names of the men he knows whom I've seen or corresponded with on the subject." In another letter, dated May 1, Williams also writes: "Two things need to be done to put the proposal in shape for presentation realignment to a group for substantial financial support (about $200,000 for a one-yebudget). Harold E. Talbot has agreed to arrange that group meeting. Two things are required- by southern senate leaders. They are: (1) A rather detailed in 1952, and (2) A plan for the merging on paper of committee, seniorities of Republicans and Southern Democrats." CONGRESSIONAL REACTION As a sample of private congressional reaction, Williams received a letter from Senator Mundt, dated May 16, and addressed ".Dear Harvie." "I am 'still inclined to believe that the merger at the congressional level has too many practical barriers to make it feasible at this junction and that the most realistic approach, is one which would handle this matter in the electoral college," the senator from South Dakota suggested. Note Williams' political thesis is that the United States is now a nation of "mongrels" with most of the "alien" elements concentrated in the urban north. His basis for realignment is of "white, English-speakia geographic unification stocks" to elect a "conservative president." For this post, Williams favors Senator Bricker or possibly Senator Byrd. I 1 SECRET POLL now running for governor Jimmy Roosevelt, of California, is frustrated over a secret public-opinipoll he took the other day. It revealed that 30 per cent of California's Democrats think Jimmy's opponent, Governor Warren, is a Democrat. When asked about the poll, Roosevelt grinned: "I don't want to run a smear campaign, but I'm determined to expose Warren's affiliation with the Republican party!" IMPRESSIVE HANDSHAKE Genial William "Fishbait" Miller, doorkeeper of the house, is a great favorite with children, especially those of his Sunday School class at the Fountain Memorial Baptist church in Washington. After each service Miller stands outside the church and shakes hands with the youngsters. id One little girl, who- - had just attended her first Sunday School, rushed home to tell her father all about it. This would involve, of course, "Guess what, daddy'." she exclaimed.

Congressman T. C. Hennings Jr., defeated the president's preference, Emery A. Allison. This has naturally, been heralded by political opponents as a repudiation of Mr. Truman, yet is not necessarily so. Local considerations are reported to have played some part. A struggle over a proposed new charter for St. Louis is said to have caused the local politicians to line up solidly behind Hennings, enabling him to cose out Allison by a slight majority. ' Presidents are not always able to control their party in their home states. Back in Grover Cleveland's time, in 1892, Gov. David B. Hill seized the party machinery, . and instructed the state delegation to the i Democratic National Convention to vote Ifor Hill for president. Cleveland, also a candidate, thus had to go before the convention without the support of his own state, yet was nominated in spite of that. In 1942 James A. Farley took control of Jthe New York political organization away from President Roosevelt, with disastrous results to the organization and to Farley's reputation for political wisdom. No such rift has appeared so far in Missouri. The president has now announced his support of Hennings, and Hennings has! refrained from criticising administration1 ' policy. Apparently that is that.
