available for study by young Americans who some day may be called upon to say "yes" or "no" to requests that they become candidates for presi- dent of the United States The most recent contribution is from Senator Vanden-ber- g Michigan's famous Republican chairman of the powerful foreign relations committee Replying to a Harvard student who wanted to organize student support for the senator Vandenberg said: to be a candidate for the l do not desire or intend my presidential nomination I am very sure I can best servesenthe in of tour duty country by completing my present ate" Senator Vandenberg doesn't say he would not accept if nominated and would not serve if elected He leaves the door open a wee bit which is a good thing because conditions may shape up so that he becomes the logical candidate of his party It Just Ain't Natural It just ain't natural when one party in a national election obtains 92 per cent of the votes cast so we can be sure that there was not a free election in Sunday's Romanian parliamentary elections If the communist-dominate-d government's slate of candidates obtained 92 per cent of the votes there was a reason for that great majority —not a pretty reason The American people are familiar with an interesting situation that develops in a community when a division of approximately 5 develops even when the most able and respected citizen of the community ventures into the political arena by becoming a candidate for something Even the most disciplined American political party con vention will erupt into differences of opinion in the course of a conclave yet we are informed from tune to time that decrees and policies of a totalitarian dictator are indorsed absolutely unanimously when the dictator graciously puts his program before his party for party approval As we said before it ain't natural 55-4- Grand Jury Goes to Work Facilities of the Salt Lake City police department have been made available for the use of the Salt Lake county grand jury The attorney general's office has promised its cooperation and assistance The grand jury has its own resources and those of the district attorney and county attorney Yet the newspaper reporters who report all this still suggest that the investigation may extend over "several months" Which indicates the number and scope of matters calling for a looking into The seven grand jurors have an interesting task before them but an expensive one Their fee is only $4 a day It is regretted that the legislature which requested the organization of a grand jury didn't endeavor to increase the fees Does anybody know of a legal method to pay those men a living wage? selves Look to American Aid In fact there have already been unofficial and tentative approaches from the French looking toward the American aid in weak French army The military weakness of the French is symptomatic of the almost total military vacuum which now exists in western Europe Most of the effective French forces are committed in A and North Africa mere handful of French troops remain on the continent and their equipment is for the most part eithor obsolete Few er of the experts the including French themselves doubt that in case of war France with the rest of Europe could be quickly and easily occupied by the red army That is why seribus consideration is now being given at the highest levels in Washington to a possible comAmerican offer to pletely ten French divisions If this step is taken it will be only the first in a series of measures designed to help western Europe regain to use a favorite phrase of Secretary Marshall's "a military posture" Yet such an by the United States undertaking will in turn pose a number of problems of the gravest importance In the first place a United States commitment to help rearm the western European countries can only be fulfilled if American armaments production is greatly inA partial American increased dustrial mobilization might therefore be necessary In the second to the place military lend-leas- e western union nations will mean in fact that a tight military alliance has been concluded between this country and western Europe Planning Between Staffs Such an alliance will call for between the military joint planning staffs of the United States and of Detailed the European countries must be cnvolved for the plans over-a- ll strategy and for the disposition of troops and equipment in case of war Two approaches to this problem are possible Joint planning is already going forward between the United States and n Britain in the existing combined chiefs of staff with headquarters in Washington This could simply be enlarged to include France and the Benelux countries as well as Italy if Italy eventually Joins western union On the other hand the western union pact opens the way for a European combined staff Such a staff could be created probably In PariB and American officers attached to it In the first case the United States would openly assume leadalliance whereership in the newcase as in the second the emphasis would be on Europe Under any the conviction is circumstances vacgrowing here that the military uum which now exists in western Europe must be filled and the European balance of power upset by the war in some measure restored (Copyright 1948 New York non-existe- nt re-equ- ip

WASHINGTON — It now looks as FAST til didn't Wartime censorship sometimes operated in a peculiar manner The manner in which U S planes were caught napping and burned on the ground at Pearl Harbor was known to the world and the military commanders responsible were severely But the manner in reprimanded which General MacArthur's bombers were also caught napping at Manila and burned on the ground was censored Three hundred planes sent to Manila at great sacrifice to U S air forces in other areas were lost as a result MacArthur had been demanding that planes be sent him instead of going to beleaguered England at that time unmercifully ponded by nazi air attacks But though MacArthur had a special warning that the Japs were attacking while Pearl Harbor didn't he-- left his 300 planes helpless on the ground The Truman committee discovering this fact devoted two paragraphs to it in a quarterly report dated March 4 1944 The copies of the report were in type and circulated confidentially to committee members when three senators— Hatch of New Mexico and Connallv of Texas Democrats with Rail nf Minnesota Republican — ob Truman yielded to their iected objection and withdrew the crit ieirm of MacArthur The two censored paragraphs read: Insult to Patriotism "OnsorshiD is an insult to the patriotism and intelligence of the American people in we paai ii has led to many unwise acts such as the concealing of facts known to the pnemv and even the aissemi nation of distorted information For example the Japanese knew perthey fectly well the destruction had wreaked upon our airplanes in the Philippines but for two years the war department requested that it be kept secret from the public that 300 olanes were destroyed on Philippine airfields a number of hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor was known "The loss was only recently made at least a suspublic and there ofis the reason for that part picion considrequesting the committee to was the er the information 'secret' desire to avoid resentment by the 300 planes public of the loss ol so valuable which would have been to the defense of the Philippines' Merry Maury Quoth Maverick after returning to San Antonio following several months in Los Angeles: 'I love my worst Texas enemy more than my best California friend" Payne Rat-ne- r of Kansas recently dropped in to see Captain Howard Yeager efficient aide to Chief of Naval Operations Ad miral Louis Denfeld asked Yea to use his influence with his ger father-in-laRoy Bailey publish er of the Salina Kan Journal in favor of Senator Arthur Capper Ratner admitted Kansas didn't have much of a choice between Capper and his c O P primary opponent Andy Schoeppel but claimed Cap per was the lesser of two evils Replied Captain Yeager: "My Job is the navy not running my father o-Round w 's politics" Relief Far ITCHY SKIN Zerao — a Doctor's tnvitxble antiseptic liquid — promptly relieves itching of sur- face akin irritations m §— mm Also aids hoalLng!

Because there are several necessary expense items which the prospective home buyer must take care of in spite of the guarantee which goes with a GI bill home loan they're not paid in cash then they have to be added to the loan itselt Some of them do have to be paid in cash For instance there is the appraisal fee No home can be bought under the GI bill loan pro visions unless the asking price is less than or equal to what the veterans administration thinks its reasonable value is If the asking-pricis greater than the appraised value than the loan cannot legally be made The appraisal fee must be paid by the veteran and it ran run anywhere from $12 to 130 That's just a starter Look at the case of Morris D Morris bought a brand-nehouse last fall in Maryland Just over the District of Columbia line He found out a lot about unexpected expenses when he started negotiating for this GI bill loan He found for one thing that he'd have to have the title of his new place examined That cost him $49 50 He also took out something called "title insurance" which released him automatically from any future obligation arising out of a flaw in the title That cost Morris $34 Then the deed to his property had to be "prepared" and so did the mortgage (or trust) Together they cost $15 Then Morris had to record the deed and record the mortgage at a further cost of $8 Real estate transactions are taxable When Morris bought his new house and land he had to buy a "revenue stamp" from the The stamp state of Maryland cost $1540 The notary public took S Also under ths law Morris had to have his new place surveyed It had been surveyed before by the builder but that didnt make any difference The survey charge was $20 Morris also had to pay f "settlement fee" of $12 plus taxes and insuranoa Finally Morris was billed for a $500 item labeled "county improvements" Ho has five yasnrs to pay this but part had to bo paid at once That adds up to more than $175 not counting taxea and insurance That's cash which Morris paid out of his pocket Although it's theoretically possible to got a GI bill home loan without making a down payment Morris wanted to put iown as much money as he could That would reduce the interest charges during the 25 years he has to pay off the loan Ho had to pay a deposit (not down payment) when he first told the seller he wss interested The deposit wast $500 Morris signed a contract agreeing to pay the difference between the deposit and the down payment as soon as his loaa was approved by the VA It's the same contract all home buyers sign and Morris Warns all veterans not to sign such a contract until they If e w er Dr Brady's Health Column signed letters oot more than one page or It words pert a mm? to personal health and hvrtene not to disease diagnosis or will be answered by Dr etc Ma Beverly Hills Callfe rnlsw Pm Sorry but I meant What I Said Recently I said here that men-struation is a function not an illness nor a weakness except in the mind of the misguided young woman who so regards it Know-tehow readily moat resders miss such a statement a just of my notions I embellished it by adding that too many ignorant" people regard the monthly But I'm function as "sickness" a tactful cuss so I took "pains to explain parenthetically that I referred only to your ignorance of physiology and hygiene Make no bones about it you are that 99 of you high school and college graduates and all just as ignorant as I am of (name almost any subject aside from physiology and hyH a of an-oth- er giene Thar allusion to ignorance or mental weakness made the ones the terms fit beat pretty mad Boy they told me!
