PORTER MISCELLANEOUS IN WASHINGTON Endangered by Allied Bickering as ecee The American plan for a united EUROPEAN ARMY European army to check Communist aggression In Europe, to "which America has given millions of dollars, equipment, and its greatest military brains, is on the verge of being smashed. Old and bitter national feelings have climbed out of the grave of history and asserted themselves The big question is how and under what conditions West German troops are to be included in the European army. The United States has proposed that West German manpower be brought into an integrated force under General Eisenhower. West Germany and France have their own views of how this can be accomplished and to what extent. The German view: She will agree to participate in the "integrated force only if taken m as a full partner in the Atlantic alliance. In addition she wants several other concessions, including maximum sovereignty under the peace contract" yet to be signed. The French view: France would agree to inclusion of German units, but stipulates that they can not be recruited until after the five other participating nations have ratified the treaty. These nations are France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, and Italy. This stipulation means a delay of months at least since ratification of a final treaty is a long process. In addition, the French want several other checks, particularly control of war production in Germany as a safeguard against the rebuilding of German military might. The three big powers the United States, Britain, and France have already told the Germans they can not be included in the Atlantic alliance for the time being. There was a hint that if Germany signed the European army pact, however, and showed the Allies she could behave, then it would be a much easier job of selling western Europeans on the idea of bringing Germany into the alliance. The three powers did offer concessions, including a seat on a projected appeal board that will have power to review and modify the sentences of more than 1,000 German war prisoners. West Germany and France are still far from satisfied and remain suspicious of each other. The door is still open for a possible settlement, but the whole thing hangs by a thin thread. A few wrong words at the wrong time can still wreck the plan that has cost home towners of America millions of dollars. But more important, it could cost the west a united front against communism. It has been said that an European army can not work without West Germany and France. It is obvious, then, these two must compromise their demands for the good of the whole and world peace. Probi Violations PHIS column has repeatedly re-ported concerning the violation of civil rights of citizens who are partly attributed to increased tax payments Dividends were reported up in all fields except manufacturing. Automobile dividends dropped 25 per cent and electrical machinery and chemical goods manufacturers reported dividends down about 10 per cent. The oil refining Industry registered one of the biggest gains with 19 per cent, mining was up 16 per cent, railroads 10 per cent, and paper and printing 8 jer cent. ATOMIC TESTS A new series of atomic tests will be held at Enl- wetok atoll in the Pacific, it was announced by the Atomic Energy Commission. It was also revealed that further tests are planned for the near future in the Nevada desert near Las Vegas. In keeping with the secrecy that surrounds such tests, exact dates and the type of atomic weapons to be tested were not announced. Meanwhile, the British government has announced it will test its first atomic weapon this year in Australia. The British turned down an offer from the United Slates for a site for the tests and it was understood that no U S. observers would be on band to witness the experiment. POLITICS As the political pot begins to boil in earnest, the biggest question in the minds of most home towners remains: will President Truman seek the Democratic nomination? There seems to be little question but that the President can have it by simply saying so. Since January when most observers were willing to say, I dont think he will run again, observations have gradually changed to he might" and he will". But until Mr. Truman announces his intentions, the Democratic side of the question is wide open. There is increasing evidence that Senator Xefauver although he is unseasoned as far as presidential timber is concerned is gaining strength. His campaign is showing surprising strength at the grassroots level and if Mr. Truman suddenly announces he is not interested in reelection. he will have a great advantage over candidates who will come out into the those The armed forces will draft 19,000 men this month the Army and 4.000 for the Marine Corps. The April call brings the total of announced draftees since the draft was resumed in September, 1950. Also, the April call is the lowest since September, 1951, when 16,900 men were requested by the two services. KOREA The United Nations have agreed to the Communist proposal for a conference after an armistice is signed in Korea to discuss political issues concerning Korea An armistice in Korea, however1, is still a long way from an accomplished, fact. At the moment there are three important unsettled questions. They are: (1) The Communists want Russia included as a neutral power to help Nations since supervise the armistice. This is unacceptable to the United it has been established without any doubt that Russia has trained and kind. supplied Communists in Korea with arms of all in 2) The Communists insist upon their right to construct airfields this Nations United The right. deny armistice. an North Korea during of war will (3) How, where and when the exchange of prisoners take place. When these questions are settled, the home towners of the nation can then begin to hope for an armistice. THE DRAFT 15,000 for to 894,000 by ASCAP W ANTED crap tron.

Said Senator Welker: . . here an unfortunate individual that some of our detectives or Investigators want to bring before us have never perhaps seen a United States senator before. They are racked up before us, before these cameras and microphones and the august body of senators presiding, and they are nervous and it affects them, and by one slip of the tongue, they may become guilty of perjury, they might incriminate themselves, or they may find themselves in contempt of the body investigating them".

It remains, however, for a freshman senator to really rebel at the tactics used in these probes and administer a verbal lashing to his colleagues in the United States senate. He is Sen. Herman Welker of Idaho, a member of a senate crime investigating committee, elected for his first term in 1950. Senator Welker was particularly incensed at the use of radio and television which has made a spectacle of many of these senatorial inquisitions. In a television forum sponsored by Georgetown University he charged that these probe committees have no rules of evidence, no rules of demeanor and could browbeat a witness and force him to testify about something he would not like to mention; that the committees are not governed by any sacred rules of law, admit hearsay evidence and conclusions; that the witness is subject to the whims of the men con- Lvriii Publishers Agent Submit for and free exam. olH CtSIlRY MUSIC AGENCY, ill Santa Clara Are., Oakland, Calif BMI brow-beatin- g four-pow- er The Department of Commerce reports corRECORD DIVIDENDS porations in the United States paid a record $8,053,000,000 in cash dividends during 1951, a 2 per cent gain over 1950.

Ickes from the Washington scene, death has stilled one of the most powerful voices in the nation's capital against the persistent efforts by large special Interests to grab the nations natural resources. During his more than 13 years as secretary of the interior the old curmudgeon had his sights raised above the petty chiselers in and out of government in a continuing fight to preserve the countrys public lands, to preserve the natural resources in water and electric power, and to keep for the people generally the untold millions in wealth of tidelands. the nation's But even as he lay upon his death-be- d the big oil companies which he had held at bay, with the aid of a presidential veto and two supreme court decisions, were moving In again. Settlement of this dispute, under the guise of states rights, will be one of the major issues in this cam' paign In two decisions, in 1947 and in 1950, the supreme court has held that coastal states have jurisdiction over submerged lands in bays, rivers and inlets and along the coast e from high to the mark, but that farther out to the continental shelf, these submerged lands belong to all the people of all the states, California, Louisiana, Texas and Florida have joined with the oil lobby in an effort to wrest this bon anza oil reserve from federal jurisdiction. There is now up in the senate a compromise bill, which is merely an entering wedge, which would give royalties from oil produced from these tidelands to the public school system.
