China’s New Cabinet Looks
Like the Same Old Furniture
; BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHlNGTON—Washingtonians interested in
the Chinese civil war have been taking a close look
at the newly-appointed Chinese cabinet, Their pur
pose is to see if it offers any hope for a broader
Chinese government which the United States might
back with more confidence in the cold war against
communism.
Three years ago, President Truman said that
“peace, unity and democratic reforin in China will
be furthered if the basis of this government
(China’s) is broadened to include other political
elements of the country.” There was something
of a row here last March over whether this meant
a coalition between Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang
and the Commies. President Truman said that it
never had and it didn’t, and since he has stuck to
it, that’s still official U. S. policy.
A lot of things have hdppened in China in the
meantime, which might have led to broadening of
the Chinese government. The new Chinese con
stitution went into effect a year ago. On paper it is
a broad and liberal document. .
Last April, the first National Assembly (conven
tion) to be elected under the new constitution met
at Nanking. Out of its 3000 ' delegates, the
Kuomintang had roughly 24440, the Young China
Party had 300, the Democratic Socialist Party 260.
It was still a one-party government.
VICE PRESIDENT HAD LITTLE INFLUENCE
Only job of the new Assembly was to elect a
president and vice president. Chiang Kai-shek was
elected ' president, but his candidate for the vice
presidency, Dr. Sun Fo, was defeated. Instead the
Assembly elected Gen. Li Tsung-jen, a liberal.
This looked like a real broadening of the govern
ment, but it hasn't worked that way. General Li
has had even less influence than an American vice
president, though he is still being mentioned as a
possible successor to Chiang.
Chiang was inaugurated president on May 20,
1948. Prer}rier of his first cabinet was Dr. Wong
Wen-hao, who lasted six months. It is the new,
succkeding cabinet which Washington is now
studying with such hopeful interest.
The new premier is Dr. Sun Fo, Chiang’s defeated
vice presidential candidate and son of China’s
George Washington, Sun Yat-sen. He is a graduate
of California and Columbia universities, thoroughly
familiar with the American viewpoint, but a
Kuominatang Party wheel horse and a member of
its Central Executive Committee since 1932.
Out of the 22 members in the new cabinet which
Premier Sun has attempted to build, five have been
members of the Kuominatang Central Committee
for “more than ten years, Two are ex-premiers.
Four are reappointments. Three are shifted from
othér posts in previous cabinets. Six are new faces.
Two positions are unfilled as this is written. At
least ten of the new cabinet members are known to
have attended American, British or German uni
versities. : ;
& & o
SEVERE SHORTAGE, OF PORTFOLIOS
The names don’t mean much to average Amer
ican readers, so there is no point in listing them.
But, from the Washington point of view, the most
important aspect of the new cabinet is the appoint
ment of five ministers without portfolio. If the in
tention here is to set up a small action group which
will have broad powers in directing Ibng-needed
economic reforms, as well as tightening up on con
duct of the military campaign against the Com
munists, it may be considered a move to strengthen
. the government. But actual performance, instead
of mere intent, is what will have to tell the story
of how broad this new government really is.
The five ministers without portfolio are of con
siderable interest. Two gre former premiers of
China—Gen. Chang Chun and Dr. Wong Wen
hao. Both are said to be aligned with the
Kuomintang’s liberal Political Science clique. An
other, Gen. Chang Chih-chung, is head’ of the “C.
C.,7 or conservative clique, and is considered to be
. in favor of a negotiated peace with the Communists.
Dr, Chen Li-fu, University of Pittsburgh graduate
who was in the United States all last surnmer, is
another C. C. man, the elécted vice president of the
legislative Yuan. He has been a Kuomintang Cen
tral Executive Committee member since 1929,
though new to cabinet office. Dr. Chu Chiahwa, the
fifth minister without portfolio, was minister of
eduication in the last cabinet. 4 .
- In fact, new jobs have been found for nei*fly all
the members of the last cabinet who were dropped.
aken as a whole, the new cabinet doesn’t look
broader than the old at this distance.

De Gaulle To Be Reckoned thl
Charles® DeGaulle is not being com
mented on very much by the press just
now, but he is one Frenchman who will
h.ave to be reckoned with in French poli
tics and the future rehabilitation of
France.
While he is not in power now, it is|
probably true that DeGaulle is the most
powerful living Frenchman and that the]
DeGaullists constitute the most powerful
gingle political power in France today.
DeGaulle is a bitter foe of Communism
and in politics is an extreme rightist. The
other political parties in France are Com
munists, Socialists and various wings of
the leftist group. That is the chief reason
why DeGaulle is not in power. He is too
far to the right to suit the ideas of lhel
combined leftist organizations. |
Yet it is said that the DeGaullists are
steadily increasing their strength. That is
evidenced by the last municipal elections
held in that country and DeGaulle is
quite certain that his party will gain con
trol of the French government when a
generla election is held. That will prob
ably be over a year in the future but he is
keeping rather quieit and is biding his
time.
There are a great many who fear De-
Gaulle as a would-be dictator and a
stubborn one at that. He is rather dictato-|
rial in his personal attitudes and quite,
stubborn in the handling of governmental
questions. Yet he is quite popular with
millions of Frenchmen.
This much can be said of Charles De-
Gaulle. He.never bowed his head or bent\
his knee to Hitler like many other French
leaders did. He got out of France when
Hitler's army overran that country and at
all times he kept the French flag flying.
There was no compromise with the en
enmy in him. There is none now.
He is an ultra conservative and opposed
not only to Communism but also to every
thing that leans to the control by the pro-|
letariat. It is therefore natural that he
should be opposed by all the leftist groups.l
Just whether he could satistactorily run
the French government should he ascend
to dominating power is a question t.hatl
future developments alone can settle but
it is quite certain that in whatever comes
to pass in France in the years shat lie
ahead he will be a conspicuous figure.
old Line Republicans Die Hard
There is little doubt about the attitude
of Republicans in the national Congress
concerning the old-line standpatiers. For
the last twenty-gsix vears they have been
repeatedly repudiated by the American
electorate, but they seem to he willing to
stand by their guns. They die hard. ‘
' This is made manifest by the apparent
determination of the Republican minority
in the United States Senate to continue
Senator Taft as the chairman of the Re
publican steering committee policy that
will control the movements of the minor
ity in the Senate.
The younger Republicans in the Senate
seem to be willing to veer somewhat to the
left and become more liberal in their
views, but the old standpatters are stub
born and refuse to yield the positions of
power they hold in the Republican minor
ity.
Taft is a good, clean man, but he is not
in touch with the prevailing political
trends in this country. He has publicly
announced his wish to remain as the head
of the Republican minority in the Senate
so far as directing Republican policies is
concerned and it is being predicted that
his wish will be granted. In that event it
is likely that the requests for legislation
that will be made by President Truman
will be stiffly opposed.
The Democrats have a large enoug.h
majority in the Senate to override this
opposition except along two lines. It is
quite likely that Southern conservatives in
the Democratic party will combine with
the Republican minority to force the
adoption of certain amendments to the
Taft-Hartley Act rather than vote to re
peal the entire act, and also that such a
combination will cause the defeat 'o.f at
least two of the civil rights propositions
that the President is insisting on, the en
actment of an FEPC biil and an an anti
s&gx‘egation bill as to the races. f

TORTURE BY TELEPHONE
NEW YORK — (AP) — Re
member the name of Walter Cur
ry. :
Immortality crooks a finger his
way. Let the common man bugle
his fame. §
Who is Walter Curry? He is a
kind of junior Abraham Lincoln,
heralding the pattern of a prom
ised freedom for the new slaves
of the mechanical age.
In more prosaic terms Walter
Curry is a superior couft judge in
Providence, R. 1. And he has just
made a provident decision — a
decision provident for the health
of all mankind.
Only Wednesday it was that
Judge Curry ended by padicial
decree a case of what four lady
complainants called “torture by
telephone.”
The feminine quaretet com
plained that a fifth lady for six
years had annoyed them several
times a day by calling them on
the phone. They said she greeted
them with “curse, epithets and
Bronx cheers.”
And what did Judge Curry do?
Why, he forbade the fifth lady
from ever phoning her four neigh
bors again under pain of “dras
tic punishment.”
This decision may at {first
glance appear to be only a minor
foot-note in the long history of
jurisprudence. But it could end
up by making Walter Curry the
best known judge since Sir Will
iam Blackstone laid down his En
glish wig.
Sharp Blow
For he has truck a clear sharp
blow for freedom from one of the
greatest mental perils of the
twentieth century — ‘“torture by
telephone.”
Millions hailed as a blessing
this small instrument, the ele
phone, when it was first brought
to widespread public attention by
Don Ameche after earlier re
search by an obscure putterer
named Alexander Graham Bell.
What joy it held at the begin
ning, — carrying a loved one’s
voice and helping dear hearts to
span the distant miles! It brought

year-old Merry Carson learns that?
her dashing father, Kin, has asked
her selfish mother, Susan, for a di
vorce, her whole world turns top
sy-turyy. Kin leaves home and
Susan goes to pieces. Aunt Jane
comes to look after things. The
doctor tells Merry her mother
needs a change and suggests they |
take her to St. Vincent’s, an island
resort. He says Susan’s illness is
only a state of mind; what she
must have is a new interest in life.
VIIiI
I Jefferson Layne, Kin'’s attorney,
came to the house with the neces
sary papers on which he had to
‘have Susan’s signature, and to ex
plain the very ample settlement
Kin was making on his wife and
daughter. He emerged from Su
san’s room white and shaken and
very grateful for the stiff drink of
Kin’s famous Irish whiskey that
Aunt Jane had waiting for him.
“Good Lord!” said Jeff, wide
eyed. “Poor old Kin!”
“Quite!” said Aunt Jane grimly.
“But don’t forget, Mr. Layne, Su
san is suffering, too, very deeply,
and if it’s chiefly.in her pride —
well, for a woman like Susan,l
that's a terrific blow.’ !
“Of course,” said Jeff, and drankt
again, and looked at Aunt Jane
curiously. “Are you Kin’s sister?
Or Susan’s?” g
“Neither,” answered Aunt Jane
with her usual briskness. “I'm a
sort of thirty-second cousin, twice
removed. I belong to the ‘po’l
white trash’ branch of Susan’s
'family, the Aunt Jane who is al
‘ways being sent for when things
blow up and Susan can no longer
cope.”
| Jeff nodded.
| “I tried to explain to Susan that
Kin insists that he see Merry oc
casionally,” he said. “He will ex
pect her to spend at least a monthl
of her summer vacation with him
and Lissa.”
“Merry’s going to be 17 come
vacation time, laddie,” replied”
Aunt Jane. “I've an idea she
will have something to say about
that. However, leave us let sleep
ing dogs lie! We'll take this thingl
a day at a time, don’t you think?
That’s as far ahead as I seem able
to find strength to plan.” I
Jeff looked at her with honest
commiseration. “May I say youl
have my deepest sympathy?” he
said frankly. ]
“You may,” said . Aunt Jane
cheerfully. “And thanks. I'm go
ing to need it.”
In the meantime Merry had
slipped out for a walk while her
mother slept. She had avoided
any contact with her old, beloved
gang—had refused to talk to them
when they called; had even re
fused to go downstairs when Tipl
presented himself, as he did with
a dogged persistence at least once
every 24 hours.
This afternoon, to be sure of
avoiding anyone she knew, she
had gone down through the kitch
en garden, out the service gate and
into a narrow alley, one end of
which opened out into the fields!
and after that woods. She follow

people closer together than they
lhad ever been before. It shrank
continents + and then the world
—to the size of the room. A per
son could speak into it and be
| heard at almost any point in the
globe he chose.
And the blessing, like blessings
often do, became a kind of curse,
too. The telephone made it possi
|ble for a big mouth to be heard
lanywhere and everywhere.
It got to be an instrument that
brought people together who
didn’t necessarily want to be to
gether. It reached the point where
thousands of peopie nhated to ans
wer its bell, because they thought,
“Oh, oh, here’s trouble.”
Spook caller
It forced people against their
will to talk to people they didn’t
want to. It became an instrument
of solicitation and unwanted invi
tations.
People began to jump when the
phone bell rang. Thousands -and
thousands of people with names
like “Phil Graves” were plagued
with practical jokers who woke
then at night to say: “This is the
cemetery calling.” s
Subscribers began demanding
unlisted numbers. They didn’t
want to be in the phone directory.
| The new dial phones helped
some also — they tended to cut
down the calls from people who
couldn’t count up to ten.
But Judge Curry has opened a
real way to liberty from “torture
by telephone.” He has shown the
law offers ready relief from this
invisible plague. Yet it still takes
a brave man to go to court to end
his annoynance, and it takes time.
Congress could be helpful.
What is really needed is a fed
eral statute, for the problem goes
beyond state borders. It is a na
tional nuisance.
One way would be to pass a law
making it a felony for a man to
phone anoter man without send
ing a letter in advance and getting
his written permission.
| Oh at least he ought to be made
Ito call up first to see if it it's
okay.
as she came out into a favorite
spot, a small secluded stand of
pines, Tip rose up before her.
Merry caught her breath and
took an involuntary step back
ward, and Tip said grimly, “I've
been watching for you, Merry, and
waiting for you. But you don’t
have to look so scared.”
“I'm not scared. Why should I
be?”
“I don’t know. But you’ve been
giving me the brush for so long I
had to think of some reason why.
I haven’t done anything to make
you run out on me.”
His young face was grim and
tired and his eyes were bitter.
“Tip, you know why I didn’t
want to see anybody.”
Tip looked at her curiously.
“This thing has blown you clear
off your rocker, Merry. You've
always seemed like a sane, sensi
ble girl.. I don’t get it—running
around hiding out from your
friends.”
“I'm not hiding out.” She broke
out in a little wail, “Oh, Tip I've
always been so insanely proud of
Mother and Dad. I've always
thought I was the luckiest girl in
the world to have two such won
derful parents. Why, I never
dreamed that they weren’t as de
voted, as fond of each other, as
your Mom and Dad. And to find
that for two years Dad has been
in love with another woman—Tip,
it just about kills me.”
She began to sob like a heart
broken child, one arm . crooked
over her convulsed face.
.~ “Poor baby!” said Tip, and
would have taken her into his
arms. But she evaded him, putting
out her hnads, holding him off,
lifting her young, earnest, tear
stained face, not knowing or car
ing how she looked.
~ “It’s only the people you love
‘who can hurt you, Tip. So I'm
going to be smart; I’'m not going
to be in love with anybody—not
ever!”
~ “I mean it, Tip. That’'s why I
sent you back your ring. I want
you to forget all about me, Tip,
now while you're young and we
‘haven’t made any plans.” g
I “Plans? We’ve had plans ever
since we finished grammar school,
|Merry. You’ve always been my
girl; we've always known that as
!soon as I started to work, we'd be
married.”
But she thrust her shaking fin
gers into her ears and cried out,
“No, no, no, Tip. I won’t listen.
;I won’t. You’ve got to forget me.
We're going away, Mother and
Aunt Jane and I. And I hope we
never come back. I won’t see you
again, Tip.” 2
And suddenly she was running
back along the little alley to the
green gate and banging it shut be
hind her and stopped her ears
against Tip’s voice calling her
name,

SOVIET SWAMPS DRAINED
MOSCOW — (AP) — The
subtropical swamps of the Chol
chides are being drained.
Located along the seacoast of
Soviet = Georgia these swamps
were famous in antiquity and en
tered into Greek mythology and
chronicles. They have rich soil
but all attempts at drainage of the
area formerly undertaking failed
because of the fact that the
swamps flooded whenever strong
western winds forced up the wa
ters of the Black Sea coast and
drove them into the swamp areas.
The Soviets have now for years
been carrying out a scientifically
planned major effort to drain the
swamps. Large areas have been
reclaimed for citrus and other
subtropical culture.
