I UN Gets Public Airing; I CIO at War With Reds By BAUKHAGE Nnvt Analyst and Commentator. WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. HUNTER COLLEGE, The Bronx, N Y. Fifteen minutes ago the ses-sion of the security council of the United Nations adjourned and the attractive room which it is hard to believe was ever the gymnasium of Hunter college in the northern lati-tudes of New York City, is almost empty. Since 11 o'clock the council mem-bers have been at their places at the curving table on the platform and every seat in the "audience" has been filled. The first 40 persons to line up at the gates are given seats. Tickets are issued only to those with some plausible reason to hold them. Some of the "visitors" remain and the marine guards are still on duty while other attendants clear away the various impediments before each place from the Russian ambassador's at one end, to the Polish delegate's at the other. After each day's performance the actors and the audience in this play are soon far from the brown and rose room of Hunter college, but for a long time there are scores of busy men and women. They are the people whose busi-ness it is to report this drama and the long run making repetition of an entire speech unnecessary some-times twice or sometimes throe times, as at San Francisco. But here at Hunter the business moves with a briskness that adds to the in-formality, May Leave Reds On Political Limb I never realized before that New York was NOT an "early" town. When transportation is normal I can buy a New York newspaper in Washington on my way to work. On the other hand in New York at the same hour (7:30) I found there were no newsstands open be-tween the club where I stayed on 57th street to the subway station, nor in the subway where I got on, or where I got off, 40 minutes later. Of course the crowds were pour-ing southward in the subway at that hour and they had been able to buy their papers when they got on, but in the normally busy area of the 50's the natives were not abroad in suf-ficient numbers at 7:30 to Justify the presence of news vendors. On the streets at the end of my run which is about 200th street (Kingsbridge station in the Bronx) the stands were open and most of build up opinion strong enough to discourage war. I refer to the mem-bers of the press, radio, the news-reel-the photog-raphers, the sound - recorders. As I sit here they are gathering up their notes and memorada, making quick contacts before delegates g e t tMitfbHnbt9r Sa! away, pulling off head-set- pack- - Baukhage the people who bumped against me, as I reached for the staid Times and the Republican Herald Trib-une, were buying the left-win- g PM. PM can't be called Communist since Editor Ingersoll is not a Com-munist but while he was off to the wars it hewed pretty close to the party line. The Daily Worker, however, is considered to express the official "wishes" of the Com-munist party and, according to most of the other newspapers these "wishes" come direct from the Kremlin or maybe next door. Heretofore the Communists have supported the American Labor par-ty which is a New York party which in general embraced Democratic, New Deal. CIO supporters and had the of the Communists. Now the war is on between the CIO and the Communists and ructions are expected to arise in any cor-ner. Nevertheless, when the Russian delegate walked out of the United Nations security council meeting, it was said that until he walked back the American Labor-CI- planning board had decided to withhold sup-port of Senator Mead, Democratic possibility in the race for the New York state governorship. This move was looked upon by conservative papers like the SUN as if the Amer-ican Labor party were willing to plan its political strategy according to the attitude of Moscow toward the United Nations. Since in the council meeting when, the Iran af-- fair came up Secretary of State Byrntl led the fight against the Russian stand. The fact that he lat-- er offered the resolution which la-beled the Russian reply as satisfac- - tory and postponed the discussion of Iran in which Ambassador Gromyko had refused to take part beyond the time that the Russians themselves had demanded, the left wingers went to bed satisfied. However critics of the American Labor party and the CIO still insist that they are now on record as hav- - lng tried to line up American votes to please a foreign power. What the repercussions of this little flur-ry will be remain to be seen. If this is supposed to be an evidence of left-win- g displeasure over the Dem- - ocratic admuiistration's foreign pol-icy and subsequent events have not removed that displeasure, the ques-Uo- n remains, where will the left wingers go? John Lewis, whose love for the Democrats evaporated when he rOlllrin't collect on his generous lng up cameras and tripods and then perhaps pausing for refresh-ments in the "press lounge" espe-cially installed in the basement of the gymnasium where their quar-ter! are located. UN Recognizes Popular Interest I have covered many interna-tional gatherings from the peace con-ference of Paris after World War I and none has given as much pro-portional attention to providing the necessary facilities for bringing the proceedings to the citizens of the world as this gathering at Hunter college. Of course the council is relatively small and the army of reporters seems large in comparison to its scant 11 members, the secretary and assistant secretary general and the various advisors. The fact that the principals are so few increases the informality and the feeling of intimacy which seems to exist be-tween the organization and the group of men and women who ob-serve, record and report its doings. Along the wall, opposite the coun-cil table at gallery level are a row of glass windows, the booths of the American radio networks, the BBC, and some separate stations. In a glassed-in-corne- r behind and to the left of the table are radio engineers and the equipment which records all the spoken words of the mem-bers. At any moment a speaker may be cut in and heard by lis-teners on any of the networks. At special points of vantage there are places for taking movie and still photographs. Whenever some dra-matic moment arrives you can see the Klieg lights slowly rise (and the busiest delegate Is likely to straight-en his tie, take off or put on his glasses) while the moving picture do-nation to the Roosevelt campaign fund, is expected to become a hun-dred per cent Republican when it comes to the next presidential elec- - Uon. It would take a great stretch of the imagination, however, to visu-alize either the communist append-age of CIO, of the CIO-PA- head, Sydney Hillman, embracing the elephant. It has been demonstrated that the Communists are becoming anything but an asset to the Democratic par-- ty and Hillman probably would be glad to get rid of them. Where the Communists will go is a question. It is not likely that they and such fellow travelers as are willing to travel with them would essay a third party. But politicians hereabout believe that they will be able to shift their weight about in such a manner as to upset more than one state and congressional political apple-car- t. camera? grind. Most of the speaking by the dele-gates, except when formal state-ments are read, is done from notes or completely ad lib and since all of the members speak either English or French the pauses for interpreting are short either into French or English, except when Am-bassador Gromyko speaks in Rus-sian. These words must be inter-preted into both French and Eng-lish and Gromyko doesn't hesitate to stop the interpreter and give his own English translation if he doesn't like the interpreter's choice of words. He could speak in Eng-lish himself if he wanted to but probably wants the Russian for the record for home consumption. Eventually when the permanent meeting place is established the sys-tem employed at Nuernberg will be used earphones and simultaneous translation.

No one can predict when the "norther," a sharp, cold wind, will strike any part of the state. Nearly a mil-lion acres are Irrigated, and such cities as San Antonio, Houston, Gal-veston and El Paso get their water from artesian wells. There are 230 kinds of fish in lakes and streams, and 4.000 different wild flowers blos-som within its borders. Between the twisted salt cedars of the Gulf coast and the desert reaches of ocotillo and sotol in the west, there are 12 million acres of commercial forests, 550 kinds of grasses and 100 varieties of cac-tus. There are alligators on the coast, horned toads in the desert, and rattlesnakes wherever you And them. Once 60 million buffalo grazed in Texas, and it still knows the armadillo, chaparral bird and road-runne- r. Here Is a land of forest and des-ert, of fertile fields and jagged mountains, of rolling prairies, sleepy rivers and wide Gulf beach-es. And here Texans created Hous-ton with its ship channel to the Gulf; San Antonio's ancient houses with yard-thic- k adobe walls and skyscrapers; Dallas, the city of the north; Fort Worth, the cow town; Austin, the capital; Galveston, picturesque port and beach; El Paso, with American en-ergy and Mexican color. It is suit-able that there should be added such as Randolph field, "the West Point of the air corps," and Fort Sam Houston, the army's largest post. Oil wells have brought scores of El Dorados to the state, and Texas natural gas is piped to Col-orado, Kansas, Wyoming, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois. If the gas ever runs out, plenty of coal re-mains. Quotations like these tell the story of Texas: "Who'll go with old Ben Milam into San Antonio?" "I'm going to Texas to fight for my rights," a Tcnnessean on his way to join Texas' War for Independ-ence. "The Americans were so stub-born that not one of them would sur-render," Gen. Santa Anna.

Remember Goliad!" Sam Houston. "The Repub-lic of Texas is no more," Anson Jones. The shrine of Texas is the Alamo where 182 men, including Travis, Crockett, Bowie and Bonham, re-fused to escape or surrender. At Goliad, a Texas force under Fan-nin surrendered and was massa-cred. At San Jacinto, the furious Texans, under Sam Houston, in 20 minutes shattered Santa Anna's army and won independence for Texas. Texas, still in cowboy boots, has its great trading centers and sea-ports, its flying fields and oil der-ricks, its mines and fields, and cat-tle ranges. It retains its old flavor, but combines the glories of its past with new energies and new horizons. In agriculture, industry, culture and recreation, the Texas tradition of "biggest and best" is making new strides. There is only one Texas it is the expansive, friendly, hospitable and progressive Texas we all know. San Jacinto Monument knives; with corn, cotton, cattle and barbed-wire- ; with books and Bibles, schools and churches; with sugar mills, gin mills, sawmills; with oil drills and oil refineries. The first settlers found an acre-age that was unlimited, soil that was fertile, a climate that was caressing, a land abundant in na- - tural resources. So they set to work and gave Texas its traditions, its culture, its costumes and customs, its manner of speech, its swagger, its reputation. They gave it big hats, handsome riding boots, sheriffs and Texas Rangers. Texas is a mighty empire of the southwest, a land of superlatives. It sprawls huge across the map, sniffing breezes from the Gulf of Mexico and ozone-lade- n air from the Rocky mountains. It has jts coastal plain, its central plains, and western high plains, ranging in altitude from sea level to 4.700 feet and peaks pointing even higher. There are 800 long miles between the semi-tropic- Rio Grande and the northern border, and the greatest distance east and west is 775 miles. Water covers 3,408 square miles of Texas with plenty of dry land left. Texas has 254 counties, some of them large enough to be states! Along the Sabine river on the east, the annual rainfall is 55 inches: El Paso haas only 9 inches.

Feeling that he needed a few pets around his shack, he, invented centipedes and tarantulas. He used mountain lions for saddle horses. Taking up a bet, Pecos Bill mount-ed an Oklahoma cyclone and trav eled across three states. Mountain, were leveled and forests uprooted From this jaunt there emerged the treeless Texas Panhandle. Bill was "throwed" when the cyclone "rain, ed out from under him." It is natural that the Texas cow--i boy. who has known the feeling of the earth and sky while tending the herds during round-up- s and drives, should create a mythical super-cowbo- y to talk about around the chuck wagon and the bunkjaouse. That's how Pecos Bill came into existence. There are various accounts of Pecos Bill's birth, but any puncher will declare with a great deal of pride that the hero was born In Texas. While his family was mov-ing west. Bill dropped out of the wagon. Since there were 17 or 18 other children in the wagon, Bill's ma and pa didn't miss him for two or three days. Then it was too late to turn around and go back to look for him. But Bill didn't starve. The coyotes so goes the legend "took him up and raised him."
