-~ Still Tough U. S. Prob
til Tough U. ). Problem
BY PETER EDSON
" WASHINGTON—What to do about Dictator
Francisco Franco in Spain is one of the toughest
nutsthe U, S. has to crack. By dint of some fast
work in the U. S. Senate, Wisconsin Republican
Congressman Alvin E. O'Konski’s embarrassing
amendment to include Spain in the Marchall Plan
%}"B}ricken out of the new Foreign Assistance Act,
after it had passed the House, 149 to 52.
“The O’Konski amendment was in the bill oply a
week. But that was long enough for Communist
Jropagandists to get in some awfully good licks
%ainst U. S. intentions. They sold eastern Europe
”{Qxe idea that Ar{lerira'was just another Fascist
country, - willing Ito * swpport Fascist Dictator
Frauncisco Franco.
_~#Some of this propaganda has taken exceedingly
weird forms. A short time ago Maj.-Gen. August W.
Kissner of U. S. Air Force stopped off in Madrid
%fitg;j an inspection of the Mediterranean. Kissner is
a long-time friend of U. S. Charge d’Affaires Paul
T, Culbertson at the Ameriean embassy in Madrid. It
‘was-a purely social visit and it caused no concern
in-Madrid. When the Moscow radio got hold of this
évent, however, it reported that U. S. Gen. Lucius
@.‘dfiy"gwas in Madrid to make a deal with Franco.
‘mhad never left Berlin.”
~wsA. short time later U. 8. Adiml. Forrest W. Sher
man came to Madrid to visi‘ his daughter, who is
the wife of the U. S. naval attache in the Spanish
qual. The Commies reported this event as a deal
By which the U. S. was to turn over British Gibral
‘o Franco.
DS DREAM UP INFORMATION
gafhen when Myron W. Taylor, President Truman’s
persohal representative at the Vatican, stopped off
ic_*i'.-k,!iidrid on his way to ‘Rome, the Communists
l&#@ got worked up. Taylor made courtesy calls on
t%e ’apal Nuncio and the Cardinal. He also saw
Franco, alone. Communist propaganda reported
Taylor had come to assure Franco that Spain would
net:be excluded from the Marshall Plan. Official
desurances are given in Washington that no possible
chiange of U. S. policy towards Spain was discussed.
'Wml&lyr&viet Russia has no diplomatic rep
resentation in Madrid. All this inside information
it;gets is dreamed up in Moscow.
«flmat Generalissimo Franeé is a dictator of the
w-wrywno longer opén to doubt, The U. 8. and
er Allied nations did business with him during
the war to keep him from openly joining up with
fiwmand Mussolini, who were also doing business
R s
?gsthis time most American officials were saying
privately that Franco would have to go when the
war'was over. The big question was how to get rid
wfi{m Nobody knows the answer yet. In the mean
time, Franco has dug himself in more solidly than
at any time since he began his revolution in 1936.
Last July Franco put over a plebiscite authorizing
hita-4e name his own successor. Out of 17 million
€figißle voters, 15 million voted and 14 million voted
“Franco, Yes. Communism, No.” :
WET FORMULA TO GET RID OF FRANCO
~The Russian formula for getting rid of Franco is
to break off’ all diplomatic relations, apply economic
sanetions, blockade and boycott the country. Soviet
delegates proposed this course to the UN in 1946
gfiher ‘countries couldn’t see it. They feared that
tfiif _policy would merely produce chaos which
fim enable the Communists to seize power. .
180 a watered-down resolution was passed for all
‘&N’inembers- to withdraw their amhassadors from
Madrid. This is.a mild kind of snob insult.which
#eally doesn’t mean much. Nevertheless, the U.'S.
hasn’t*had an ambassador in Madrid since Norman
A¥mour, now assistant Secretary of State, resigned
in" December, 1945.
,fitfier countries withdrew their ambassadors a
year later, except for Argentina. Peron got real
friendly with Franco just as everybody else was
giving him the tilted nose. This Spanish-Argentine
Jove anatch is still going on to such a degree that
g:md radio now reports the two nations might
take a pact to stay neutral im any conflict which
ight break out betweer“Riigia and the west.
J‘f:he,re is apparently no sentiment in Washington
for a change of policy that would accept Franco as
apariner. Undersecretary of State Robert A, Lovett
says it's up to the European nations to decide
er‘ they want to cut Spain in on their recovery
program, So far, none of them does.
ONLY REMEDY FOR LEWIS
- ONLY REMEDY FOR LEWIS
Sonie people have hailed Speaker Joe
| Martin’s “settlement” of the coal strike as
la master stroke of greal political signifi
cance. They would have you believe that
'it has put Mr, Martin in the running for
“the Republican presidential nomination or
l’thut, at very least, he i 8 now a dark horse
sos a considerably lighter color.
But Mr. Martin is a shrewd citizen who
has been in volitics a long time. And we
would imagine that before counting any
chickens he has done some counting en
his fingers. If he has, he has discovered
that from April 12, when the pension dif
ll'i(-ulti(-s miraculously dissolved, until
June 20, when the UMW contract ex
‘pires, is 80 days. ‘
Now if the government had used its
]'l‘aft-}lartley powers on April 12 to send
'tvhu miners back to work, they would have
been forbidden to strike for 80 dyas. But
that would have been too much for John
1.. Lewis to swallow.
It would have meant that the power of
a law which he hates would have been
wielded by President Truman, whom he
bitterly dislikes. That probably explains
Mr. Lewis’ amazingly sudden acceptance
'of Mr. Martin’s remarkably sudden pro
posal. ;
By agreeing with Mr. Martin, Mr.
Lewis kept the law from forcing him to
lose face by ending the strike. He also
has, or probably fancies he has, turned
the spotlight on another possible cenven
'tinn threat to Senator Taft, whose co
luuthmship of the labor relations law
‘seems to have added him to John L.s
lengthy hate list, .
But the results will doubtless be the
same, ,whether they are achieved by
agreement or injunction. Some coal will
again be doled out to our hungry factor-;
jes, generators and railroads. The miners
may work through the Republican con-|
vention week. But that doesn’t-mean that
the country won’t hear the familiar an—l
nouncement of “no contract, no ‘work” on
the 30th of June.
We may all be grateful to Mr. Martin
for finding a temporary solution to one of
the periodic crises which John L. Lewis’
swollen ego inflicts on our economy. But
we don’t think that his welcome service
in helping to end the strike is enough to
start a Martin landslide rolling in Phila
delphia next June. We don’t think that it
has solved the problem of John L. Lewis.
We doubt that Mr. Matrin thinks so,
either.
Somehow it seems an admisison of in
capacity when Congress has to tailor a
piece of legislation to fit one man. But it
may be done in Mr. Lewis’ case, ag it was
in Mr. Petrillo’s. . . |
‘The threatened tie-up of the nation’s
economy every few monthg by John L.
Lewis has long since become insufferable.
It is dgngerous and degrading that this
country must make sacrifices to the self
importance of a pompous labor dictator
and his undemocratic organization.
Distasteful as restrictive labor Taws
may be, it seems that strong restriction is
the only remedy in this case. The contest
is between freedom of action for Mr.
Lewis or for the American people, their
government and their commerce. As
things stand now, Mr. Lewis has the free
dom, and the country suffers.
NO LAUGHING MATTER
There is a tendency in this country to
laugh at South Amercian revolutions. But
the rioting in Colombia 'was a serious
matter. It not only took hundreds of lives
and caused tremendous damage. It also
showed the trained ability of Commun
ists to exploit and profit by such upris
ings. : e
Communists are now a strong factor in
Colombia and Costa Rica, on each side of
the vital Panama Canal. In Panama they
were instrumental in that country’s denial
of military bases to the U. 8. It is time our
government gave the South American
Reds the serious attention that their men
acing activities warrant.
President Truman feels, with . Mark
Twain, that the first thing to reform is
the habits of other people. Bob Taft feels
that the first thing to reform is the habits
of government,—Mrs. Martha Taft.
‘ We want to live in freedom and we are
going to say so all together. — Georges
Bidault, French Foreign Minister, de
fending the right of western Europe to
jorganize.

THE POOR MAN’S
PHILOSOPHER
The “Free Lunch” Is Coming Back
| NEW YORK—(AP)—The old
time ‘free lunch” is back—at
least it has one foot in the bar
‘room door.
It is coming back the hard
‘way, one street at a time. So far
it has been seen here chiefly in
poor men’s stork clubs along the
bowery and Third avenue.
Rat cheese and salami sand
wiches now bloom again in scat
tered bars in the shadow of the
“el” like spring flowers poking
up through old snow. And bar
flies—excuse me, gentlemen with
a dime—are greeting them with'
glad cries. In the tonier estab
lishments even the pickle is
back.
Significand Comback i
The new free lunch is only a
morsel of its old robust self. But
its comeback on Third avenue is
significant. Why? Because Third
avenue is to the elbow-bending
gentry what the Aberdeen prov
ing ground is to artillery—a test
ing field that sets the trend.
- In the bars along this noisy
thoroughfare where roaring
overhead “el” trains make con
versation a muscular feat, Park
avenue comes to ogle “the char
acters.” “The characters” like to
ogle right back. it
Fads that become popular here
often set the pattern for the
town — spread one way by “the
characters” and the other by the
penthouse ‘“swells.” This may
spell' a new future for: the free
lunch.
Tiyme was when the free lunch
was big enough to give a har
vest hand the colic. | ;
Remember? R
For a nickel beer a hungry
citizen of good standing could
waddle over to a counter creak
ing under plates stacked with
roast beef, baked ham, boiled
ham, oysters, steamed clams,
three kinds of cheese, hardboiled
eggs, lunch meats, pickles, relish,
stacked bread and huge slices of
raw white onion fragrant of
Bermuda.
In the classier joints a burly
bartender with a “keep off” look
stood guard to shoo customers
with run-down heels away from
the trough. : 3
What happened to the “free
lunch?” g
Ate It All
“What happened to it?” said
one bartender. “They just ate it
all . up. Too many people got to
thinking saloons were boarding
houses.” b
Others say it was buried with
prohibition. It didn’t die out en
tirely, however. It surViVed‘"i"fl
anemic form in the present cock=-
tail hour custom of serving ca
napes. These one = bite - and=
they're-all-gone sandwiches are
‘Bo tiny that a big man can lose
one in a hollow tooth. ¥
These revolting delicacies, con
sumed more in sorrow than in
anger, are blamed by some el
derly bartenders as the real
cause of increasing jitters among
their unsteadier clients. s
“They’re too small to support
a vitamin,” said one gloomily.
‘And what’s in ’em—little bitty
iish in erl, stuff that looks and
tastes like toothpaste, cheese that
don't even have a smell, and
eggs that come out of a sturgeon
instead of a hen. No wonder peo
ple get the shakes.” ’
But if the free lunch makes
a real comeback the canapes’ will
be cut out—the hors d'oeuvres
will have had their hour. This
will be true in the homes as well
as in the bars.
