LAXATIVE Any hope the western world may have had that the march of communism in the Far East had been checked vanished as Chiang Kaishek ordered the evacuation of Hainan island. Thus, one half of Nationalist China became Communist territory, and the West listened for the first rumors of the invasion of Formosa. It was an embarrassing defeat for the Nationalists, who, having previously boasted of victories over the invaders, found it necessary to report in the next breath complete defeat. Observers said the Nationalists simply ‘‘counted their chickens’’ before they hatched, and, that the Hainan command deliberately put out false news to prevent panic and enable prominent leaders. to flee the island. Whatever the cause, General Chiang found himself minus. five armies, totaling some 125,000 men, 13,500 square miles of territory, and rich deposits of iron ore, coal and petroleum. MOST surprising angle in the Nationalist’s defeat, in the eyes of western military men, was the compartively small number of ommunist invaders, estimated at 10,000 to 15,000 men. Chiang’s aos outnumbered them almost 10 to Pie was immediately rampant on possible exaggerated Formosa defenses. Further, in some quarters, the fall of Hainan was called the beginning of the end of Nationalist China. eesy Truth Campaign Editors of the nation—little and big—have been asked to join the greatest eampaign in the world today—“‘campaign of truth.” President Truman, speaking before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, said we must make ourselves known as we really. are —not as Communist propaganda pictures us. We must pool our efforts with those of the other free peoples in a sustained, intensified program to promote the cause of freedom against the propaganda of slavery.’’ Then the President told the editors something they already knew, but no doubt liked to hear: “There is too much nonsense about striped trousers in foreign affairs. Far more influence is exerted by the baggy pants. of the managing editor.” The editors, in general, were inclined to agree. Although the individual policy of their newspapers might or might not be pro-administration, it was high time the United States counteracted Communist Perna. with truth, é i In utshell: the President neal saves propaganda conStantly reviles the United States. The big problem is to tell the peoples of the world exactly what Americans. are like. At home the editors are the allfmportant’ bridge between the American people and world affairs by informing them “‘well and completely,’’ the President added.

The vote was startling in two respects: (1) The house passed the bill with a record vote; and (2) the congressional ‘‘economy. drive’ which has prevailed in. Washington during the past year got a sudden jolt which was not unexpected. As passed by the house, the bill oe the Veterans’ administration to proceed with construction of 16,000 came hospital beds for war veteran With veterans os two world wars demanding and needing increasing hospital aid, congressmen agree to the need, but shook their heads at the idea of tying a knot in the economy trend becoming more popular as a presidential election year nears. It took longer, incidentally, to pass the million dollars for the coast guard than it did to enact the hospital bill.. That, some observers point. out, would indicate that perhaps the congressmen have not enMee piscina their economy drive : HOUSING: Urge Rent Control Undoubtedly the most unpopular move of the administration since World War II has been the continuation of rent controls. Now, several officials have urged extension of rent controls beyond their scheduled end June 30. For all their yelping, and, although President Truman has called for a year’s extension, there is a general feeling that this time the congress will let the law lapse. Louis F. Budenz, admitted ex-Communist and sometimes called Sen, Joseph McCarthy’s secret witness, testified before senate loyalty probers that Owen Lattimore, Far East ex_ pert, was a member of a ‘‘Communist cell’? in the Institute of Pacific Relations. Next move is up to Mr. Lattimore. Russia Watches DECORATIONS: or Peace From action of the United States senate some wondered if this country was at war or peace as. that high body decorated 10 airmen who lost their lives in the Baltic, presumably shot down by Russian fighters. ’ To spectators who gazed down upon the senate floor it .was obvious the senators were in no mood to dally, but filled with a fury that had not been experienced: since a declaration of war against Japan. With such denunciations as “criminal”? and “‘barbarous’’ and demands that steps be taken to prevent another such occurrence, the senators voted praise and decorations for the airmen. Numerous foreign affairs experts took special note of the state department’s protest which said in part: “The cause of furthered when the tatiously decorates in a manner to Truman Tour President Truman isn’t giving his rivals a chance to cut down the Democratic majorities in both houses, most observers believed, s he planned what he called a ‘nonpolitical’ swing through the West. The ‘“nonpolitical’ tag that has been hung on the Truman tour has no one fooled. It is, no doubt, the official opening of this year’s political: campaign and will have a great bearing on the 1952 presiden- | tial election. Observers are inclined to agree that five key objectives are in the back of the Democratic strategy: 1. In 1948 the Democrats swept to unexpected victory because of Truman’s popularity. They don’t want that popularity slowed down. 2. Visit and talk to the midWestern farmers and thus extend the party’s hold upon them. 3. Find candidates who, if elected, will back the Truman administration. This is felt necessary to offset the revolting Southerners. 4. Rescue and revenge enter into the tour in that an attempt will be made to save some party faithfuls and to punish a few enemies. 5. To bring about some discipline within the party itself in an effort to put on a united front. Arabs The United States air force display of air power, punctuated with the explosion of heavy demolition bombs, jet planes, rockets and flaming oil bombs, was a big success for the 1,500 spectators, including prominent business and civic leaders and Harry S.. Truman. It was .being watched in other quarters, too, and the administration made no secret of its hope that those quarters would be duly impressed. In fact, the government hoped the explosions at Fort Benning, Ga., would be heard across the Atlantic at the moment when Russian and American relations were at their lowest point. U.S. State Secretary Dean Acheson, who recently has ceased pulling his punches, along with other high government officials, hoped the display would warn the Soviet Union that the United States was prepared. he To demonstrate his hope, the said a few days later: country must be strong, ‘with defenses organized wisely and prudently, and with all possible resources, for protecting the ae in which this freedom aboun Of the bursting ee and mighty guns Mr. Truman said nothing when asked what impressed him most.

The unification notice was sent to the Arab states and was received in Israel without too much comment since Israel had an armistice agreement with the new kingdom However, Israel was not pre- pared .to accept the annexation. Observers agreed that the. move might prejudice future talks when all points concerning the ultimate peace are discussed. GREAT WRITINGS: Bible Not Included Robert M.

At first reagier’s | were shocked that the greatest work of literature in the history of man was not included, but were quickly relieved by Hutchins’ reason. The Bible, he explained, was not included because it already is universally available and almost universally owned. The collection includes 443 works by 74 authors and was said to include the works acclaimed. “‘indispensable to the liberal education of a free man in the 20th Century.”’ The first limited printing of 1,000 sets had been. scheduled for that many patrons at $500 each.

Defendants are the Great New York Atlantic & Pacific Tea company inc., the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company of America; the Great A &P Tea Company of New Jersey; the Great A & P Tea Company of Arizona; the Great A & P Tea Company of Nevada; the Quaker Maid company; the American Coffee corporation; White House Milk com- contributed more than any other distributing organization in the world today to the solution” of maintaining the standards of living for individuals in the face of constantly increasing populations and greatly inereased tax burdens. It alleges that instead of being in restraint of trade, A & P operation “has greatly promoted trade and increased competition.”’ It declares that if the food distributors were no more efficient than the distributors of other consumer goods, it would be necessary to add an additional 10 billion dollars to the nation’s retail food bill. The third line of defense sets out that they have changed their operation since the government’s criminal suit against the corporation in 1944 and says: ‘“‘The defendants have surveyed their acts which were the subject of criticism in the previous litigation, even though the courts stated that such acts in and of themselves may not have been illegal; and defendants have made serious and bona fide efforts to conduct their business as a matter of permanent policy so that it will not be subject to such criticism, even going beyond the Beers of the anti-trust laws.” ® * * The fourth defense alleges it is impossible for the A & P corporation to have a monopoly, for “‘by its very nature this (food) industry is one in which monopoly is impossible.’ This defense sets out that the company has decreased its number of stores from 15,819 in 1931 to 4,647 at the time the complaint was filed last September. that fifth defense although the sets out company has been in business since 1859 and. the Sherman anti-trust act has been on the statute books since 1890 and the department of jus- tice has had jurisdiction for the past 60. made A & years no P \to prosecute, complaint alleging against general it the restraint of trade or menopolization 1942. until by a Hollywood Rosalie’s ward L. jealous Bruce, waisi-length other She’s make-up * = tresses men from a redhead. off to admiring Unworthy company time as» the agent for A acted produce & P and at the same purchasing also as agent Ed- for the farmer in selling his produce to the advantage of A & P ard the disadvantage of the farmer.
