"The eovernment may have controls to to stop p.it back operations like that. Ho has a ,rood chance of getting free on one of them supreme court five to four elections. Look what the court did in that lone-ly hearts case . . . they threw the case out because there was no quorum present." "I vish the high courts would agree on what is the law like the low courts do. When a girl meets a Russian agent in New York and she is carrying a bag loaded with secret papers from government files why should it make any dif-ference whether she worked for the Carnegie library and took a rug from some auto dealer?" "It's like that trial of the eleven Communists in New York.

The writer of this column does not claim to be the sev-enth son of a seventh son, but the following chapter from a book by him, "Private Turk-ey's Private Peace" (the orig-inal and much more apt title was "Peace, Wearing Purple Tights"), published a few weeks after World War II ended, revealed distinct pow-ers of prophecy. In the story, Private Purkey and several companions crashed a peace conference in Paris, a feat duplicated in a way by Garry Davis a few weeks ago.

In his economic report, Truman assured the nation that it is not in a depression, despite business decline. "Political reasons" lead some people to want depression, he said. He added that depression can be avoided. He blamed "selfish Interests" tot the tax cut that congress passed over his veto and for the denial ol n curbs he requested. HE FEARED a third great blund. er and warned that "to slash gov-ernment expenditures now would add to the downward trend." H defended his budget for government spending the next 12 months. He said, "If we follow the wrong budget policy at this time and slash our expenditures, we will de-crease employment, cut down in-vestment, weaken our defenses, and injure our efforts for peace." His speech was seen as a move-ment to line up popular support for a showdown fight with the econ-omy bloc in congress which is demanding that government spend-ing be cut to income. He criticized those who say we are in a depression. "Many of these persons for politi-cal reasons would like to have a depression," he said. "Others are saying that there is nothing to worry about and an increase of the number looking for work is a good thing. This attitude ignores the human suffering . . ." "CONEY ISLAND:" "Trivialication" Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, chancel-lor of the University of Chicago, demanded that mankind's expand-ing knowledge be turned toward achievement instead of "trivialica-tion" and formation of a huge "Coney Island." He spoke at the Goethe Bicenten-nial Convocation at Aspen, Colo. He said that world catastrophe is inevitable if the "tribal which goes under the name of patriotism continues un-checked." He asked for a world union of "men of good will," and said that world government is a step in the right direction to avert global POTENTIAL PEARL IIARKOKS . . .

Shown at the hearing, left to right, are Alaskan delegate 10. L. Jtartlett; Senator James E. Murray (I)., Mont.), member of senate interior affairs committee; Hoffman, and Senator Elmer Thomas (I). Okla.), chairman of the appropriations subcommittee. MONROE DOCTRINE: Poet Fuss John Foster Dulles, In his first speech as U.S. senator appealed for ratification of the North Atlantic pact and rebuked Senator Robert A. Taft and others opposing it. Taft's opposition was on the grounds that the treaty commits the United States to re-ar- its European signers. Dulles countered with the defense that the pact does not obligate this nation to enter any arms program which "isn't defensible on its own merits." Dulles said that the treaty doesn't give any individual mem-ber the right to get any particular thine from anv other member. No Vaughan Accused President Truman has been asked to suspend his military aide, MaJ. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan. The request came from Rep. Shafet, Michigan Republican, who cited the army's suspension of two other major generals, Herman Fieldman, the quartermaster gen-eral, and Alden H. Wuitt, chief of the chemical corps. They were suspended pending a senate investigation of army con-tract handling. Shafer said Vaughan was implicated in the same case, but gave no details. All three generals were men-tioned in a recent news story which particular member has any claim on any particular aid he averred. It does not require the United States to build each signer up so that it could defend itself alone, Dulles said. ANOTHER FOE of the pact, Sen-ator Flanders of Vermont, wanted to extend the Monroe Doctrine in place of entering the pact. He said this nation would not be obligated in details any more than in the ori-ginal Monroe Doctrine. Flanders also objected to possible arms commitments to Europe if we signed the pact. He said that if vast arms shipments are made to Europe we don't know what will happen to them in case of com-munist domination of nations bene-fitted. Senator Scott W. Lucas, the Dem-ocratic senate floor leader, said that the treaty imposes no legal obligation for an arms program, but added such a program is need-ed just the same. The Truman administration seeks a $1,130,000,000 program to rearm western Europe. ENGLAND: More Austerity Sir Stafford Cripps, chancellor of the exchequer, has placed a new austerity program before the British people. He announced that Britain will reduce her spending in the United States and Canada by $400,000,000, or one-fourt- in the current fiscal year. THE BRITISH financial situation is more serious than Secretary of State Acheson has made it appear. However, it is not insoluble. British difficulties cannot be attributed to the American slump. The British will benefit from declining prices here of raw materials and food. Inflated war prices are blamed for the rapid consumption of Ameri-ca's 1946 loan to England. inspired the inquiry into dealings of "five per centers," those who hire out to obtain government con-tracts. STRIKE RESPITE Steel Accepts Plan The steel industry's biggest cor-porations accepted President Tru-man's y peace plan under protest, thus averting a nation-wid- e steel strike. The fact-findin- board, appointed by the president will study the dispute over a fourth round of postwar wage increases and pensions and group insurance and will make recommendations. The United States Steel Corpora-tion had asked President Truman to alter his terms for a peace pro-posal with the United Steelworkers, as a steel strike deadline rushed closer. The corporation demanded that the president's proposed fact-findin- g board be given no power to suggest a settlement. The union threatened to strike against four companies U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Republic and In-land. These firms are against any fact-findin- g boards outside the Taft-Hartle- y act. Phillip Murray's big steel union agreed to a y postponement of the walkout at companies which agreed with the president's propos-al. The Taft - Hartley act provides for an inquiry board with no power to make recommendations. Earlier, Rep. Franklin D. Roose-velt, Jr. (D., N. Y.) flayed Ben-jamin Fairless of United States Steel in a speech before the United Automobile Workers in Milwaukee for not acceding to the president's proposal. "YARDSTICK" Cancer Gauger A "yardstick" for measuring the growth of cancer has been reported suicide. He argued that "communi-cation" with Russia is possible if other nations were sincerely willing to try. A "moral, intellectual and spir-itual" revolution is the only thing that will turn the world from a downward course, he argued. He attacked the "purposeless-ness- " of contemporary living, made more so by technology, and declared that new-gaine- d leisure has been used for meaningless rec-reations. Of atomic energy in peace and war he said, "If we have war, we shall be blown to bits; if we have peace we shall be bored to death." Hutchins compared today's civi-lization with the fears and hopes expressed by the 18th century humanist, Goethe. The theme of his speech was "Goethe and world unity." Goethe's dream for the world was that it should be a "world of friends," Hutchins said. He advo-cated Goethe's "civilization of dialogue."

A simple, quick and inexpensive method of gauging the growth or decline of a cancer was reported by Doctors Phillip West and Jessa-mine Hilliard of the medical school at the University of California. The technique is based on an analysis of blood compounds and will measure the effectiveness of curative treatments. It is not a cure itself, nor is it a test for the presence of cancer. Among the Injured in the crash of the New York-Californ-airliner that came to grief in the Santa Susana mountains near Chatsworlh, Calif., was movie actress Caren Marsh. Latest estimates place the death toll of the crash at 25 with 18 injured. The plane crashed shortly after the pilot radioed that a violent fight was going on in the plane among the passengers. SCIENCE: Turbine Aircraft Research on e engines at McGill University, Montreal, may bring about improved flying. A turbine engine is a scientific version of the mill wheel. It has many small blades instead of a few big ones, and instead of water, hot gas is used to push the blades. THE HOT GAS is produced by a blowtorch in which fuel is burned with the aid of air scooped from the atmosphere and compressed.

In a moment he was back on the flat ground looking over the edge, not daring to hope. Fifty feet below he made out a green patch, like a wisp of cloth caught in the gnarled branches of a hardwood shrub.

"We can quit and go down," she said. Her voice held the barest hint of a taunt. She hated herself for it. "Quit nothing! Just because I've been away for two years you needn't think you can stump me." Tracy's eyes flicked over the girl's slim, wiry figure. "Boy, you always could take it," he admired. "Ever since we were kids I've had to hump to keep up with you." The reference to their childhood escapades brought on a flood cf re-grets. Two years ago he had left her with a brotherly dap nn the back and a firm handclasp. She had almost hated him. He had gone down to the city to become an architect. Then he'd written about Jessica. She was a sinK. er in a niRht club. He had fall-e- n madly in love with her.

Lunching with three mem-bers of the press, she could hard-ly get in a word until they finished telling her, at length, how won-derful she had been in "State of the Union," and how much they hope that Hollywood will soon do right by her. That same day Betty Field lunched at an adjoining table. She and Miss Hussey hadn't seen each other since they worked together in "Gatsby." in which Mis FieM and Alan Ladd star. MacDonald Carey and Barry Sullivan are featured. Off-sta- atmosphere: Two deputies of the Hollywood sher-iff's office stood guard for two days over the machine gun used in RKO's "Follow Me Quietly." The law demands ihat such guns be constantly under the eye of a law enforce-ment officer while in use in a picture, and that it be in the hands of an officer of the law between takes. No unscheduled shooting allowed! Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, who wrote "Buttons and Bows" for Bob Hope's "The Paleface." have done such a good job on "Fancy Pants," written for his "When Men Are Men." that he thought that would be a good title for the picture. However, the other title sticks. Meanwhile Evans and Livingston, authors of "To Each His Own" and other hits, are writing a second song for him. IC1SMM M s ACROSS 2. Kind 19. One of a 1.

Circuit Court of Appeals In New York ruled that three Com-munist defendants, on trial for con-spiracy and recently jailed for con-tempt, must stay in jail for the remainder of the trial between court sessions. The action 0 federal judge Harold R Medina in ordering the .three men, Gus Hall, Harry Win-ston and Gilbert Green, confined in jail, was upheld by the appeals court. With eight other defendants and high party leaders, they have been free on bail.
