Foreign Affairs and Defense |
. .
Measures Pile Upin Congress -
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—The program of unfinished
foreign affairs and national defense legislation still
before Congress is enough to choke any ox of a
congressman. That the 81st Congress can get around
to it in time for adjournment in July is incon
ceivable. It is doubtful if it could even be cleaned
up by a special session running from, say, October
to Christmas. Perhaps one reason for not getting
it done is to save something for the second session
in 1950, which is an election year. L
President Truman has asked Congress to take
care of not more than 40 international and military
matters. Bult many require extensive hearings, and
they take up the time.
Twenty foreign affairs issues of top importance
are on the congressional docket. Only two have
been made law—European Recovery authorization
and relief for Palestine war victims.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is now
wrestling with ratification of the North Atlantic
Pact.-Final action before mid-June is unlikely. After
that the House must repeat the performance. If the
President has anything to sign by July he’ll be
lucky. For after that, legislation to authorize and
appropriate for military aid to Western Europe
must go through Congress.
OTHER IMPORTANT WORK PILING UP
In the meantime, much other important interna
tional business is log-jamming up. The House has
passed three-year extension of the reciprocal trade
agreements act, but the Senate has yet to act on
it. Even when it is out of the road, both Houses must
pass on the proposal to set up an International Trade
Organization to regulate and stabilize world trading
conditions under the United Nations. ;
The International Wheat Agreement must be
ratified. The 80th Congress failed to get around to
that last year. So the participating governments had
to re-negotiate it this year and give the lawmakers
another whack at it. :
Displaced pex‘sonse’cgislution offers another case
of a job badly bungled by the 80th Congress, which
the Blst Congress must do over. The House
Judiciary «Committee has now approved a bill to
admit more DP’s and ease up on unworkable reg
ulations. But in the Senate Judiciary Committee,
this issue is bottled up tight.
Payment of Swiss claims for damage from U. S.
bombers is still a third hold-over from the 80th
Congress. Ralification of the Charter for the Or
aanization of the American States will reguire ac
tion by the Senate. A number of United Nations
matters are pending.
Legislation to carry out some of the international
proposals President Truman has made to Congress
hasn’t even been drafted. That’s the fault of the
State Department, not Congress. In this category
are President Truman’s inaugural message “Point
IV,” to give technical assistance to underdeveloped
countries, increase in lending authority for Export-
Import Bank, and control over munitions exports.
Strictly in the nationai defense field, but with
~ important bearing on international affairs, are an
other score of measures which should be dealt with
by the present Congress. So far, Congress has com
pleted action on only the establishment of the radar
defense network and provision for an undersecre-~
tary of defense, the job given to Steve Early. The
House has approved legislation to provide for the
guided-missile test range and to fix the size of the
Air Force.
Further revision of the National Security Act,
which was supposed to unify the armed services, is
now before the Senate Committee on Armed Serv
ices. Increased pay for the armed services, training
and drafting of doctors and dentists, strengthening
ol the Reserve Officers,Training Corps, establish
ment of a U. S. Air Academy, revision of the mili
tary code of ' justice, and Cefftral Intelligence
Agency legislation are still in the works.
Army, Navy and Air Force themselves originate
much of the national defense legislation considered
by Congress. Under this heading now are the
proposed bills to authorize greater military research
programs, construct a supersonic wind tunnel and
develop a civil defense program.
The matter of drafting espionage laws so tighten
internal security is being handled by the Justice
Department. i
President Truman’s request for universal mili
tary training, to which he has stuck doggedly ever
since he was a senator, has apparently been given
the go-by. The House Armed Services Committee
simply took the allo¢ation for this out of the mili
tary budget and gave it to the Air Force to build
more planes
The curvature of the earth measures approxi
mately eight inches a mile. :
To the millions in the world who cry in their
despair for a new day of freedom and justice, we
here in America, out of our sfrength and by our
example, can give hope and comfort.—President
Truman,

"Adopted Athenians” And |
- Adopted Athenians” And
The Native Spirit 1
They call themselves ‘“aAdopted Athenians.’
They are a group of business and prot‘essionall
men who are taKing time from their private pur
suits to promote passage of the proposed $1,000,000
school bond issue May 24th. They were organized
several days ago and among their number are
only a few who were born in this community, but
they are Athemans to the core, if our definition
of an “Athenian” is the correct one, We would
define an “Athenian” as a citizen who believes in
Athens strongly enough to work for it, who be
lieves in its destiny strongly enough to invest his
money in it and who, unlike the transient, is con
tinually tryihg to improve his surroundings.
Those persons who try to squeeze all they can
cut ol a business without investing money in it
to broaden its scope, keep its facilities up-to-date
and prepare for its growth would not be called
constructive persons. People who rent houses and
let the grounds go hang, are not good tenants.
Owners of houses who never make repajrs and
refuse to keep their property painted, end up in
due eourse of time with tumble-down structures
and less than they had. These people. are trans
ients, at least in spirit. All they want is some
thing that will last as long as they last. They are
not interested in what comes after them. They
are even so transient-minded they cannot project
themselves into the future through their children,
they cannot think in terms of theip children’s
future. They are genuine transients. Some natives
are transients when it comes to their attitude
toward their own communities. And they are not
the kind of people who build communities, Their
interest is just a day-by-day concern, epheme
ral.
On the other hand many of those who are not
natives are among the best and most constructive
builders of the community which they have
adopted as their own, We place in this category
those who have organized themselves as “Adopted
Athenians” to Improve their pubuc schooss
through a bend issue. They are not atraid. They
have shown that they. are unafraid by the fact
that many of them have been unusually success
ful in business nere. LThey are substanual taxpay=
ers. Like them, there are many success{ul Athen
ians who were born somewhere else. This com
munity is full of citizens who came from sur
rounding counties, and farther away than that.
While they were not boirn here they are reaity
native Athenians because they possess the origi- |
nal, the native, forward-looking spirit of this com—%
munity which in times past has blazed the trail
in many realms of human endeavor. We salutes
the “Adopted Athenians” and other “natives”
who, actuated by the spirit that impels the tender‘
plant to shoot its tendrils upward and outward,
ave carrying this community upward and on-}
ward. » ]

Congratulafions, "C. &S 3.
We congiatwiate the Citizens and Southern
National Bank on the completion of its magnifi
cent remodelling and expansion project.
There is no bank in Georgia with finer looking
quarters than the modernized “C. & 8.” The ex
pansion of the bank’s quarters is indicative of the
faith its officials have in Athens and its business
prospects.
1t 1s a [aith being exemplified by other citizens
and business concerns that are investing in the
future of the community.
It is the kind of faith that makes fine commu
nities and that contributes to the development of
civic pride and productivity.
Such a faith and spirit is worthy of the highest
commendation,
« Our theme is the revival of the greatness of
Britain and the British empire. We are told we
must not use the word empire. It is haughty. I
know of np reason why any of us—liberal, con
servative or socialist--should be ashamed of the
word after the parts we all played in the late
war.—Winston Churchill, : - j
We are in the process of getting ourselves a}
peacetinge adjustment. The thing that is really
scaring us is that we haven’t had the depression
that we have been waiting for. We feel it is long
overdue.—A. D. H. Kaplan, Brookings Institution |
economist.
Behind its iron curtain (the Soviet Union) is
manufacturing fear. Out in the open, we, along
with 51 other countries, are building peace—U. S.
Ambassador-at-Large Philip C. Jessup.
It is not only the fate of China that quivers inj
suspense; the future of all Asia hangs on the out
come of the Communist drive for China’s con-‘
quest and utter subjugation.—George Creel, head

ting bath was about right. I felt
very professional now that our
prices were approved.
" From our experience with the
| Morgans, we learned two new
things to be feared: cooking on a
laundry stove and baby sitters.
1 knew that sound rose, and I
spent a minute or two wondering
'just how homesick Roger might
become—though it was hard to
iimagine him a father—when baby
squalls rose from the basement
bedroom to his room two floors
above. “Never mind about Roger,”
my good fairy should have said.
l“Think of yourself. Smells rise,
too.” I won’t say that Betty cooked
;Eyetalian spaghetti three times a
Iday; that would be hyperbole. For
lbreakfast, she scorched eggs. Ev
ery zephyr that blew picked up
those aromas as they were brewed
on the gas plate and wafted them
|from the open window in the
lalindry, up two stories, and into
my open, windows. Caron should
consider homely scents in the
manufacture of perfyme, for there
are people who prefer them to
Moment Supreme. I knew one such
onman, and where there's one
there must be more. She inquired
lof the saleswoman behind the
toiletries counter what was new
lin perfume. The clerk mentioned

down where riding is most

Grass and Hay as being new and
popular.
“Thank goodness!” exclaimed
the woman. “Whé wants to go
around smelling like a Night of
Love?”
But if it’s a choice of reeking
of browning onions, bacon fat,
chilies, and | burning eggs; or of
Danger, or Stop, or Black Desire,
gimme the erotic label. I used to
enjoy Italian spaghetti; now I get
hay fever at the mention of the
name.
Baby sitters were something
else again; it was ears, not nose,
that had to get accustomed to
them. We returned from the Club
to finish the evening at the Annex
and were greeted by sounds of a
dance band in our basement. Rog
er tuned in to a station for music,
but his and the one that was al
ready sounding out did not gee;
two dance* bands in one small
house is one band too many. I
listened at the head of the stairs.
I judged there must be at least
six girls and as many boys.
I walked down the stairs won
dering how I could justify the
fact that whereas we were danc
ing wupstairs, the children might
not have the same privilege in the
basement. My intrusion was met
with cold stares. I had been right;
there were a dozen flaming youths
jitterbugging. Since they didnt
choose to notice my appearance at
their party, I walked over to the
radio and turned it down so I
could make myself heard. “Which
one of you is the girl Mrs. Morgan

hired?”
‘Uneasy glances from several of
the children directed at one of the
girls identified her as the sitter.
“Did Mrs. Morgan tell you you
could have a party here tonight?”
I asked.
“She didn’t say I couldn’t,” she’
ground out.
“Well, I'm home and I'll take
care of the baby,” I said. “You
may go now.” -
“The longer I stay, the more
money I get.”
“I'll pay you for an extra hour,
but T want you to go now.” Some
of the children stirred uneasily.
The sitter stood her ground. “Mrs.
Morgan hired me and I only take
orders from her.”
“Very well. You stay, but your
friends will have to go”.
1 felt my. neck getting red and
hot. “This is my house,” I said
“You may stay and watch over
the baby if you like, but your
friends will have to go.”
Several of the children edged
toward the stairs.
“Don’t go!” the sitter command
ed. “I'm hired to work here and I
got a right to have my friends in.”
I don’t know which of us would
have been carried out on the shut-+
ter.if the Morgans hadn’t appeared
at this crisis. : l
| I returned upstairs boiling in the
opinion of a dozen kids and two
adults I was not the ewner of the
house at all, but Yer Old Ant
Emmer and a buttinsky to boot.
Later, I explained to the Mor
gans that there wasn’t anything
fair about it, I realized that, but
since this was our house, Mr. Rob
erts said we’d-do, anything we
liked in it and that the same privi
lege would not extend to our lod
gers. .
Dick agreed but Betty was
troubled. She said it was hard
enough to find sitters—if she
couldn’t use high school girls, she
didn’t see how she’d ever get out.
I admitted it was'tough, but held
‘to it that we couldn’t have gangs
of children turned loose in the
house. Betty said she’d try to get
a woman next time.
She got one. The woman arrived
alone and remained alone; she
didn’t need to have friends in to
entertain her. She had me.
