Show Too Much Paint on the Brush On World Affairs Foreign Policy Not Perfect; Better Than Past Confusion By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER RQVQ. APFji UTAH, TUESDAY, COUNTY. UTAH 18; Senator attacks McCarthy'! upon the alleged presence of communists in the state department raises not one but three 1950 Growing States Deserve More Haiuse Seats i Since the first census in 1790, the. 10- Tyear nose counting has become such a broad SiaUSXlCai Survey mat ll imeiv; ymac gets obscured. That aim, of course, is to furnish data on which to base changes in - congressional representation, for the 48 states. As states grow, hold even or lose population, the U. S. house of representatives is supposed to reflect their shift in relative position. Each state'sj membership should be in proportion to its population strength. After recent decennial censuses, the required changes haven't been made without cries of pain. For the total house membership has been kept at 435, assuring; the gains by some states! will mean losses in others. No congressman likes to see his! district wiped off the map or his state in congressional power. In the past, many in the house have often of resisted the necessary auseats. But eventually: the thorized the changes and brought the line- . up up to date. The present arrangement is a little; different. The carrying out of the new apportionment is not wholly dependent on house action. If the house fails to endorse it, then automatic procedure comes into play and all states are formally notified of the cnanges tney muse maxe. .

Despoilers of Books The other day some visitor to the Betsy Ross flag house in Philadelphia tore a page "'from the Ross family Bible, one of the exhibits in the house, and made off with it. It was no easy tack, as the Bible was 'pro- tected by a glass case fastened to the! dis- i play table. This depredation, notable because of the value of the book involved, jwas ."special akin to countless similar acts perpetrated in libraries and other places where "'daily ' dooks ana various oojects oi interest: are available for public use.

' - i - A peculiar thing is that these mutilai ions are often performed by people who doj not steal other things. Apparently a person; who would be shocked by the idea of stealing a loaf of bread will rip a page from a book and stuff it into his pocket without iom-- s punction.

It will be a gfpat surprise if the usual resistance does r&ft show itself. Because of the substantial jaowth in national population, there .may tge more than usual effort toward increasing total house membership so the less fortui$te states won't lose their existing number pf seats. The prospective gains of California are enoujrh to stir alight. In the last decade it has added moe than s.uuu.uuu people and now boasts scgfne 10,000,000. It has surpassed Pennsylvania to become the nation's second most populous state. All this could faean 10 more house seats in 1952. For example, California now has 23 against 33 f$jr Pennsylvania. If California is to makeSjsuch a leap, its gains can only come out o the hide of New York, Pennsylvania ancjj other states which have either grown lesstpipidly, stood still, or actually lost population. The entrenchecfedelegations of the powerful eastern stated might form the core of the expected resistance, and perhaps lead a battle for highejrtotal house membership. Whether risingtSnational population justifies the latter coulee is something to argue. But there can "b.-- no doubt that any new seating formula $iust properly reflect the new distribution f population strength in the country.

COPPER Chief stumbling-bfyc- k in the path of Presidt Gonzalez Videla of Chile during his trip to ttte United States is a quiet, efficient senator froig Arizona, Carl Hayden. The highly re pecked Hayden works hard, speaks little, generalJV votes for the little fellow. But he also represertp the great copper state of Arizona, where one Vpmpany is especially anxious to have the excise tax on copper imports reinvteted. This tax, amounting to a tariff against JChilean copper, will automatically go into effuct June 30 unless congress rules otherwise, andM Senator Hayden probably has the power to salves or no. Other big copper companies Anaconda and Kennecott are less Hiterested in the excise tax because they import from Chile as well as mining copper in trj U. S. But Phelps-Dodg- e mines in the U. S. H This indirectly involves the state department's No. 1 Ambassador, L&vis Douglas, envoy to London, whose Canadian: family founded Phelps-Dodg- e. It also raisesthe question as to whether the state department ;jcould work a triple play to Senator Hayden Douglas to Phelps-Ijag- e in order to head off $e copper tax against Chile. Anyway, one poinfjboth the state department and President Gonzalez Videla agree on is that Communism is goinjoto be a lot more difficult to suppress in Chil$? if copper exports to the U. S. are curtailed ad miners are out of work. As in Iran, there isMnothing that breeds Communism like unemployment. Note Sohn Danaher of Connecticut, key hatchet manpr the Republican National committee, was once relentless high tariff man, but now is on the ftther side of the fence. He opposes Senator HaJlen of Arizona and wants untaxed Chilean cop$?r. Reason: Connecticut industries using copped retained him to lobby against the copper eBcise tax. Q's and A's Husbands More Dangerous Than Women's Lovers (U.R) 20 Years Ago By DREW PEARSON" i WASHINGTON Despite the red carpet tolled out for the likable young Shah of Iran durin hii lengthy visit to the U.S.A., alarming diplomatic dispatches from the Near East indicate that Russia is getting closer to taking over his vital, oil-ricountry. Able U. S. Ambassador John Wiley has; been cabling the state department for weeks! ttiat Moscow is making tremendous progress in Iran. Its weapons are largely beyond control of the' United States political and economic turmoil growing out of a crop failure, business panic and government graft. These are bringing! new members to the noisy Tudeh, or .party, which is being egged on by'Russian radio transmitters across the border. The Shah, who made a big hit during his American visit, returned to announce "a! holy war against corruption." However, this got him in wrong with wily politicians around the tjirone who now would be glad to dump him and; play . ball with ed they weren't afraid of being purged later by the Communists. Meanwhile, secret talks are taking place in Moscow on economic aid to Iran. The crisis is moving so rapidly that diplomatic cables indicate the Shah has prepared a proclamation dissolving parliament and revamping his government. t PRESIDENTIAL POKER When government notables slip into the White House or aboard the presidential yacht Williamsburg after dark, it isn't always to discuss problems of state but more often to play poker. In fact, few White House sessions are jmore secret than the president's poker parties. He invites only the most intimate friends to sit at his poker table, usually eight at a time, "there they see Truman's most sociable side, for jhe is full of mischief during a poker evening. The president deals loves to Haunt anyone needing a particular card. When defeling, if he has dropped out of play, he will jpeek mischievously at the card before dealing, then slap it down and chuckle gleefully if it'i the wrong card. Sometimes he takes a poll of pwhat his guests want to play, then deals something else. . Truman enjoys playing with wild cards.! parwild. He' is ticularly with a the low hole-caalso fond of game he calls- - "Papa- - Vinson," named in honor of Chief Justice Fred Vinson. This is ordinary stud, played with an extra draw. Another Truman favorite is regular sevenj-carstud, which he has dubbed "Jack Garnej" in honor of the former vice president who made a fortune playing poker. 4 FOR LOSERS faTr gels to no The president likes play for fun, kick out of letting the stakes run high ani the game get grim. Sometimes at Key West recently the stakes were around $400. To take caj-- of lo?er, TrumanMs taxes-- intoto a10 per cent of each stake which special kitty j and paid when a losing player goes broke, he is entitled to a free grant from the kitty. At the end rjf the game, the kitty, is divided equally among all players. Most presidential poker sessions are heA on the Williamsburg after dark'. The president doesn't let them drag much past midnight, howi ever, because he is an early riser.

Joseph McCarthy &f Wisconsin. Luck good and the New Yor Yankees willing, it will be old Marse JoeN manager of the Boston K$d Sox. The first Is whether such people exist.' If they do, then the senator ought to be thanked for bringing up the matter. If disguised communists or have been influencing our policy, we want to know it and stop it. The second issue is that of the senator's methods. These seem to be indefensible. I think he showed lack of sense in his first wild utterances and lack of guts in refusing to make them off the senate floor where he can be sued for libel. That was not the way of the old marines. The third is his attack upon the present foreign policy of President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson. This is where he and his friends are weakest. They are playing party politics with the foreign policy of the as Governor United States, Dewey recently pointed out. This certainly does not indi cate my belief that the present .foreign policy is the best pos sible. It is not. In my judgement, it is still remiss in Asia. It still relies too heavily on economic aid as against definite military support. It still fails to indicate that "ffreat something." that goal of a better world order which Democratic Senator Estes Ke fauver of Tennessee is so elo quently insisting on. Big Step n Right Road But once this is said, the fact remains that the. Truman-Ache-sforeign policy is a magnifi- pmi iinartnr from inf niina fumbling that characterized the American position between me two world wars. Improvising a rvrJ -ipv ut-tWW " . -i not- aV for a peopte that could so long take shelter from tne worm s norms behind isolationism. If the present policy is not yet the great policy tnai me woria crisis cam for, it could become that policy. In most of its concrete features it if right. The Truman doctrine of pledgthat ing American aid to peoplesubju-..linn are "resisting attempted hv trmnt minorities or by outside pressures" .was one of the finest things in American history. The military and economic aid to Greece and Turkey during rocked the . oinol n9riimr iiuuiiii communist imperialists back on their heels. American airplane carriers and other warships in the, Mediterranean prevented Stalin from taking people who feel that the United States should support the entire hemisphere. There is no evidence that Washington hat favored any of the new despotisms that are again spoiling Latin Americas reputation. To the contrary. Keeping The Balance In the Middle East, after con siderable wobbling, the Administration hit the sound line of supporting both the Jews and the Arabs keeping them in balance. In Iran and "Afghanistan we have bucked up regimes that badly needed moral support'. We have been friendly toward Pakistan and India and have swallowed India's first refusal to help ua stop communism in the hope that it will change its mind later. At long last, we are cautiously backing the Quirino plan for unitare being southeast Asia. Wenon-com ginning to give aid to munist Indo China. We are close friends with the Indonesians and have gained, not lost friends, in Japan. South Korea has not been taken over by the North Korean communists. ; The North Atlantic security pact was another piece of admirable statesmanship. Once Americans understand that we shall have to maintain a greater military establishment, it will make that area fairly safe. Now the secretary of state will seek a common world policy with Brit-ia- n and France a partnership that could later be extended to other countries. Taken together, all these un-- a dertakings add up into a lot of foreign policy. Yes, there remains the dreadful error of letting China go. But the origins of that error it cannot be said too often go back to F. D. R. and General George Marshall. President Truman and Secretary Acheson can be blamed for not changing trains before the catastrophe but not for put ting the U. S. On the wrong track.
