Iniernational News May Toss

Convenions Into Background
By PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
CHICAGO—No one will t'lk about it officially,
but there are all kinds of possibilities for big news
on the international front while the U. S. Political
conventions are on in Chicago. Usually, all other
news takes a back seat in the back pages of the
newspapers while thete biggest political shows on
earth are playing.
This time it’s different. These are some of the big
stories that might break while Arrerican attention
is concentrated on Chicago: .
Resumption of full-scale fighting in Korea,
Chinese Comunist attack on Indo-China,
New Russian blockade of Berlin.
- New Russian attacks on Scandinavian traffic in
Baltie,
More clashes on East-West German frontier,
East German demonstrations against West Ger=
man rearming.
German parliamentary refusal to ratify peace
man rearming, 3
German parliamentary refusal to ratify peace
contracts,
British and eor French government crises.
Fresh Comvunist-inspired - uprisings in Tunisia,
Greece, Iran, India, Malaya, Japan,
What effect, if any, these developments would
have—short of an all-out war—on Chicago conven
tions is untertain. An American alert against a pos=-
sible sneak Russian air raid will be maintained,
beginning in mic-July.

The posibility of the election of a Democratic Sen
ate and even & Democratic House of Representa
tives this November, along with a Republican Pre
sident, is not being regarded as too serious a handi
cap for any GOP man in the White House.
This is particularly true if the new 83rd Congress
is of the same temper as the expiring 82nd. Though
nominally in eonirol of the Democrats, the 82nd
Congress has voted oftener to follow the Taft
lea“ership than President Truman’s.
A President Eisenhower might have a little dif
ficulty in getting along with that kind of a Congress
on :oreign policy. A President Taft should get along
wiia it swell.
- ntrance of Indiana Gov. Henry F. Schricker in
to the political race as Demccratic candidate for the
U. 8. Senate has made the inumbent Republican
Son, William E. Jenner’s chances of re-election a lot
skcier, &
* Until a year or so ago, Senator Jenner was de
clarng that he didn’t like Washington. What he
wanted to do then was go home and run for the
Hoosier governcorship. If he had stuck to that inten
tion, his political future might be a lot brighter to
daz.
* hat newspicture of Presidential Candidate W,
Ay _rell Harrirran and wife sitting in the driver’s
sex . of a fire engine had a curious story behind it.
liarriman had gone to a Washington fire house
dur.ng his tour of District of Columbia primary
voting booths. When the photographer asked the
cold and distinguished candidate to pose, he never
thought for 2 minute he'd get the picture. To his
surprise, Harriman accepted instantly.
“['ve always wanted to drive one of those things,”
he said, giving in to a long-suppressed desire. So up
he climbed, bis aristocratic wife beside him, and
posed with a fireman’s hat aad a big kid grin,
% * > .
The chanceg of a ‘“stop Taft deal” or a “stop Ei
senhower deal” at Chicago are considered slim,
There was a time in 1948 wnen Taft and Stassen or
Taft and Warrea might have combined forces to
stop Dewey. But nothing happened.
"Lhis year, if both Governor Warren of California
and Ex-Governor Stassen throwing to Taft are re
mote.
Victory in the Republican convention rests with
the approximately 200 unpledged delegates. They
are not s¢ much independent as they are state ma
chine politicians who will vuie with their state po
litical leaders.

While Senator Taft has soundly repudiated the
Eisenhower smear campaign conducted by Joseph
Kamp, other anti-Eisenhower literature is still
flooding the mail. Latest entry is another elaborate,
two-color printing job from Hoffman Nickerson of
Oyster Bay, N. Y., who seems to have plenty of
money for hig campaign.
His newest is a pamphlet, “Who's Backing Ei
senhower?” He lists Governor Dewey of New York,
Senators Morse of Oregon, Duff of Pennsylvania,
Paul G. Hoffman, Henry Ford II and George E.
Allen, former Truman buddy and RFC chairman,
Nickerson ciassifies them as, “Me-tooers, inter
national spenders, Trumanites and Wallaceites, big
bankers.” He asks, “What good are recruits like
these to the Republican Party? Is Eisenhower tak
ing them into camp or are *hey taking the general
into camp?”
Mr. Nickerson is president of the E. A. Hoff
man estate. A. Harvard graduate and ex-Army of
ficer, he lists himself in Who's Who as an author,
His last work, “The New Slavery,” was published in
1947,

We'll Soon See If Budget Cuts
. . .
Were Wise, Or Security Risks
This spring Senator Taft and General Eisen
hower declared their belief that sharp economies
were possible in the nation’s defense establishment,
We shall now have an opportunity to test the wis
dom of this viewpoint.
For Congress has approved military appropria
tions for the new fiscal year which are roughly
$5 billion less than the $51.4 billion requested by
President Truman., That is a pretty fair-sized cut
in any year,
The men in the Pentagon naturally are displeased
at this outcome. But theip temper is not to the
measure by which we must go in judging the ef
fect of this reduction in expenditures.
If the Pentagon adjusts to the slash without too
much anguish and without serious harm to our
defensive picture, then we will know that the cut
was substantially justified and that there is in
deed room for severe economies in the military
budget.
If, on the other hand the $5 billion reduction ne
cessitates a dangerous weakening of American de
fense in the ensuing months, if the so-called stret
chout of our preparations becomes an actual thin
ning out, then we will under stand that the budget
trimming was a foolish move.
In the nature of military budgets, one can't easi
1y tell where savings may be safely mrade and where
they may not. So it is perhaps unfair to assume
that if the cuts turn out badly the blame must fall
on a “reckless” Congress. -
“What will be important to watch is this: if the
damage done by the cut is heavy, the Pentagon un
questionably will request supplemental funds to
make up the deficiency. The attitude of Congress
on that request will be an accurate measure of the
sense of responsibility the law-makers have for the
nation’s real security. ‘
The public should keep a sharp eye out for pos
sible deficiency appropriation requests for another
reason. If they are made and granted, that will
mrean Congress was wrong. It will also mean that
in the end Congress did not save the country $5
billion on defense, or perhaps anything at all.
You hear a lot about the old Army game, but you
don’t hear nearly enough about the old congres
sional game.
That game is to trumpet loudly budget savings
made in the spring, and then quietly restore the
cuts later on through deficiency appropriations to
which the public customarily pays little attention.
It is a politician’s way of taking credit for no-!
table savings without, in the end, actually produc
ing those savings.
Since $5 billion is quite a kit of money, the new
delense budget reduction provides a good test this
year of congressional motives and good sense.
We all ought to know in the months ahead
whether Congress was playing the old pheny econ
omy game, whether it was taking a grave risk with
American security, or whether it really nrade ‘a
wise, shrewdly calculated reduction to ease our
staggering burdens. -
Tomorrow’s Financiers
There was a time when the college athlete turned
securities salesman was an &lmost stock—no pun
intended—figure on the social and finansial scene,
That era came to an end about the time of the 1929
stock market crash., From then until the end of
World War 11, investment brokerage had limited
appeal for younger men.
That is on the word of a veteran West Coast in
vestment broker, who thinks that men now in their
twenties and thirties, who are in the securities
business, are “fortunate.” These young mren will
assume leadership responsibilities in their field 10
to 15 years earlier than men of the same age in
other businesses, the West Coast expert insists.
It is an interesting conclusion. How persuasive it
will prove to prospective recruits remains to be
demonstrated. The securities business, if it is not
being glamorized, is being popularized. The New
York Stock Exchange once demanded that visitors
obtain a pass to witness trading operations. Now
“red tape” is being abolished.
Visitors are invited to walk right in. There are
even beautiful receptionists t» show visitors around.
“We live in a glass house at the New York Stock
Exchange,” the invitation reads.
This change in attitude was brought about, in
part, by legislation of the last two decades, to a
better appreciation of the importance of public re
lations and to more intelligent management. Trad
ing in securities has its esoteric aspects. The fewer
these are, the better it will be for the repute of the
Stock Exchange.
Eating Dirt
As if the federal government wasn’t already con
cerning itself with enough :matters which are none
of its business it has taken on another prograpy
which is really one for the book. The U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture is worrying about the Kansas
wheat crop.
While Kansas farmers are happy over harvesting
what may be a record crop, Washington is getting
ready to start a cleanup of the grain. If it shows
signs of having been nibbled at by birds or insects,
beetles or moths, it will be condemned for human
food and sold for other purposes at a great reduc
tion in price.
If wheat needs cleaning up now it needed it in
past years. Presumably hungry people of the world
have been eating a lot of dirt and didn’t know it.
Henry Wallace says he would save capitalism but
not old-fashionad capitalism. Probably few capital
ists are in‘eresied in the kind of capitalism Henry
would save.

Cooper Repartee (?) Suffers
From Evening At Video Screen

NEA Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD —(NEA)— Ex
clusively yours: Television is
crampping Gary Cooper’s repartee.
Hollywood’s famous man of few
words told me when I asked his
opinion of television:
“It stifles conversation. You sit
with your friends and watch feur
of five TV shows—mysteries and
murders and some beaten-up
danece acts. The evening’s a com
plete conversational loss.”
Yup, that's what the man said.
The late Robert Walker’s two
sons, who haven't been happy
away from California, are due
back in Hollywood and day from
their New York schools to join
mama Jennifer Jones and David
0. Selznick. Jennifer will enroll
them in California schools from
now on.

Workers' Vacafion
WASHINGTON, Juty T—(AP).
President Truman accused Con=-
gress of breaking faith with fed
eral employes by changing the
rules on their vacations.
“I hope the Congress will soon
take corrective action to strike
this unwise and unjust provision
from the law,” he said in an
nouncing yesterday that he had
“reluctantly” signed the $6,272,-
836,303 independent offices bill.
The measure carries funds for
the Veterans Administration,
Atomic Energy Commission and a
score of smaller agencies.
A rider to the bill forbids fed
eral employes to accumulate their
annual leave, and forces them to
use up their annual vacation with
in six months after the end of a
calendar year or forfeit it.
In the past, leave time could be
accumulated and taken in cash or
as paid vacation time.
Truman saia@ thas when Con
gress in, 1951 approved a new
leave act drastically reducing the
amounts of time granted, “the un
derstanding was clear that in re
turn . . . the then existing prohi
bition on accumulation of leave
would be eliminated. This was
done.
“But now Congress by again
prohibiting a reasonable accumu
.ation of annual leave . . . has
broken faith with a large body of
federal employes.”
