THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. BY-PASSING UNITED NATIONS WASHINGTON. — The more the diplomatic corps scrutinizes the Tru man doctrine for Greece and Tur key, the more its members are in clined to think the USA made a historic mistake in by-passing the United Nations. This is the conclusion of friendly disposed diplomats, many of them Latin Americans, whose ^future is tied up with the peace and prosper ity of this country. While they rec ognize the need for speed, they are convinced that President Truman should have placed all the facts be fore the United Nations at the very start, not as an afterthought. They also fear the USA established a prec edent that may boomerang. Two cases are cited to prove their point. 1. Suppose the situation is re versed and Russia wants to ap ply the Truman doctrine to Lat in America. She now has an ex cellent excuse for by-passing the United Nations. To be more specific, Nicaragua and Panama are the two Latin American nations corresponding to Greece and Turkey. Panama, like Turkey, is on both sides of a water way just as vital to the USA as the DardaneUes to the USSR. Nic aragua, alongside Panama, could control the Panama canal, just as any nation controlling Greece could control the Dardanelles. It is no secret that Russiap agents have been extremely active in parts of Latin America, and the day may come when Communist governments in one or more of these countries will appeal to Russia for help against the USA. As sovereign nations they could argue, just as do Turkey and Greece, that they have a right to get help from whomever they please— by-passing the United Nations. In such a case, Russia would have the precedent of the Truman doc trine and could argue that what’s, sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. According to this doctrine, Russia would have the right to send military equipment to Panama and Nicaragua regardless of our oppo sition. This illustration may appear far fetched. But diplomats point out that already Chile, where the Com munist party holds the balance of power, is signing a trade pact with Russia. 2. As a reverse illustration of what the United Nations can do to stop aggression, diplomats point to the case of Iran. This was the greatest victory so far achieved by the United Nations, and came just as the security council got on its first wobbly legs, with the world watching to see whether it could really walk. Iran, to Russia, is one of the most strategic areas in the world, second only to the Dardanelles. Sitting astride the Gulf of Persia and an outlet to a warm-water port, Iran is just as important as the ports of Manchuria. In Iran, Russia was trying to do what she is now trying to do in Greece—set up a Communist gov ernment friendly to the USSR. How ever, strong factions In the Iranian government were opposed and ap pealed to the United Nations. The United Nations had no police force, no international inspectors, no international organization to speak of. It had only the force of public opinion. Yet its emphatic stand stopped Russia in its tracks. The boys in the Kremlin scarcely knew what had hit them. They complained to high heaven, but the United Na tions stood firm and won a great victory. That victory, according to the dip lomatic view, now has been nullified by the Truman doctrine. If Truman had sent a note to the United Na tions simultaneously with his mes sage to congress explaining his con templated Greco-Turkish action and asking long-range U. N. cooperation he might have taken off part of the curse. Instead, he went fishing. • * * COMMUNIST STRATEGY Investigators for the house un- American activities committee have learned of a new, secret strategy by which high Communist officials hope to avoid disloyalty prosecution. Here is their formula* All key Communists called to tes tify by the committee will refuse to do so on the grounds that the com mittee is unconstitutionally consti tuted. This means that the Com munist officials will merely be cited for contempt of congress—which lets them oil easy. The nn-American committee, however, isn’t going to let them get away with it. Every one of the top Communists, including Hans Eisler, Leon Josephson and Eugene Dennis—real head of the American party—has used this angle. Significantly, each also is involved in passport frauds. Accordingly, the committee and the justice department now art working up a major passport con spiracy case against a dozen top Communist officials, all of whom will be brought to trial swiftly. In other words, the administration plans to pull the strangest fangs from the American Communist con spiracy. The Broadway Spotlight: It'll be denied, but certain key military re serves have been ordered to stand by. . . . Have the intelligence serv ices checked the report that the attacks on the U. S.

Wall Street ers are still chortling at a ga zette’s financial department, which indexed the stock market quotes under “Amusements” on pages 18-19. I * NEW VINTAGE VOGUE IN OLD BOTTLES ... A thing is new to you merely because you haven’t seen or heard it before. That is why the “unseen audience” laughs at the jokes of radio comedians, women’s hats or dresses. Were milady old enough to have watched the parades of yesteryears, in the “gay nine ties” she would be astounded at the resemblance that her “dernierl cri” of a ducky costume bears to the creations worn in her grandmother’s day. Can you pick out the new designs? CLOTHING FEB. 1947 132.7 DEC. 1941 Ml 98.4 HX BUILDING MATERIALS FOODS FEB. 1947 162.0 FARM PRODUCTS MORE HOMESTEADS FOR VETERANS . . . Opening of 43 irrigated farm units in the Minidoka area of southeastern Idaho for homestead ing by World War II veterans has been announced by the bureau of reclamation. Photo shows two veterans who already have proved that such land can break all records for high-yielding crops. Veterans will receive two buildings without charge from the War Relocation author ity evacuation camp in the area. This is not the first time that home stead land in the Pacific Northwest has been opened to veterans. Other land will be opened in the future. The demand for homestead land far exceeds those now available and veterans are advised to con sult their local veteran organizations or veteran administration to be informed of any additional openings that might become available. FIRE WATERFRONT GUARDS . . . The ranks of San Francisco’s waterfront customs guards were slashed from a total of 76 men to a scant 11 as a result of recent cuts by congress of funds allocated to the treasury department. Photo shows a group turning in badges and pistols. Gov.

Prince Constantine of Greece, who became the crown prince at the age of five. He is shown with his mother as they review a mili tary parade. The crown prince has an older sister who is barred from the throne. AS DRAFT ENDS . . . Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective serv ice head, is shown checking office records. Records will be filed in state capitals. General Hershey must end work in one year. 0 Science and the Weather "Mark Twain’s famous crack, “Ev erybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it,” is a dead duck. Plenty is being done about it. In fact, General Electric company and the army signal corps have signed contracts to do some thing about it • Papers were signed the other day for a war on fog, rain and snow in which science and army B-29 bomb ers will cooperate in an all-out drive to blitz bah weather. It will begin over aviation fields, with fog the No. 1 foe. But scientists predict a day when the “manipulation of giant nat ural forces will control weather ev erywhere." * It all began when scientists flew over Greylock mountain in Massa chusetts last year, dropping six pounds of dry ice pellets at 14,000 feet, which produced artificial snow. Experiments have continued until it may almost be said that science has weather in the bag. * “There’s a fog over our airport. Take an order to remove it right away,” is about to become a rou ting message. * • Ultimately a man who wants a fog can, by a reverse process, get it. A ski course operator can order his snow direct. If your lawn is burning up, the time may come when you can wire a local weather serv ice station and have a shower de livered the same day. * The man of tomorrow, planning a picnic, a field day or a parade will arrange with Schenectady for suit able weather. i * All of which, we suppose, repre sents wonderful progress. However, the outlook is not all milk and hon ey. We have moods where we like fog or snow or rain and we don’t want the man next door fixing to ruin a nice gloomy spell just be- sause he wants sunshine. * • • Your America and Mine Squiddyhunk Creek: Sep Gates, who served all through the war and hasn’t been able to get wood for a log cabin, went down to the station yesterday to see the trains loaded with timber for roller coasters pass through. • Luke Gibsey, chairman of the drive on gambling, announces the regular weekly bingo game at the community center this week. * A bus full of speakers at a local safety first meeting collided with the one full of delegates to a conference on better enforcement of speed laws last night. Both cars were out of control. > Col. Walt Beers, who left home some years ago, has become a man of wealth. He struck sugar. * Caraway Bissby’s little boy, Ho race, has run away from home again leaving a note in which he said he couldn’t stand for his folks talking back to him any longer. * * * We liked Joe H. Palmer’s com ment on a costly racing filly. “This filly for which John S. Phipps paid $54,000 at the Keeneland sales looks splendid. So does $54,000.” • • • “Marshall Rejects Chinese Talk in Moscow.”—Headline. We don’t blame him. It’s hard enough to get the hang of it in Eng lish. PROOF OF INSANITY You can get an idea of what life in New York is like from the fact that two men who avoided the subways, never rode in a bus and lacked a radio or a telephone were considered crazy by the authorities there. • « • The Acid Test! “We have more than two dozen top Hollywood stars and any one of them, with a new plastic makeup, could pass for President Roosevelt, the producer of a second Roosevelt film said.”—News item. • How about having ’em all parade up and down in front of the Repub lican club for a tryout? • • • "NOTICE—I will not be able to sharpen lawnmowers this summer. Eli Fall, Wolfeboro Falls.”—Granite State News. * Don’t say you weren’t notified. • • • When Greek meets Greek they open a restaurant. When American meets Greek they open a keg of in ternational dynamite. • • * Elmer Twitchell says that what Uncle Sam is now proposing is lend- lease with a fuse attached. • • • John L. Lewis always seems to us to resemble the Metro movie lion except that lion has but one chin. • • • Some people are calling it the Trumanrow Doctrine. IT MAY interest you to know what * various ball players, scouts and managers think about the next two pennant races. Taking a general consensus, here is the vote in both leagues. In the National league, the Dodg ers are sure to be an improved team, with more experi ence and greater consistency in pitching. Youth rides faster from midsummer on. But the Cardinals are also much stronger than they looked to be a year ago—espe cially with George M. Cooper Munger and John ny Beazley back to help out Pollet, Breecheen, Dick son and others. The Cardinals look to be the class of both leagues. They have a young hustling star catcher—a great pitch ing staff—the best infield in baseball, with Musial, Schoendienst, Marion and Kurowski, and one of the best outfields. They have class and spir it They are not getting any young er and there are still a few “ifs” connected with Terry Moore’s knee, the arms of Kurowski and Slaugh ter, Marion’s back and Johnny Beaz ley. But so far, these highly impor tant cogs seem to be grinding smoothly. The serious experts I've talked to pick Billy Southworth’s Braves as the serious threat. “If Mort Cooper picks up where he left off last year,” one scout told me, “the Braves can challenge the Cardinals and Dodgers. Cooper is a great pitcher—not merely a good one. Southworth is two deep. Elliot will help a lot. The Braves can be a tough club to handle any time.” Cubs for Fourth Place The Spring vote for fourth place goes to the Cubs. After that, it is anybody’s scramble, with the Phil lies, Giants, Pirates and Reds in a hard drive to head the second divi sion. But the experts are cagey enough to suggest that one of these might reach the first division. The Cardinals are the pick. “By all odds, the best all-around team in baseball,” one veteran told me. “Only savage ill luck can let them down. They are all class. The Dodg ers will hustle, but they won't out- hustle this Cardinal team—not on the ball field, where they win and lose games.” The Dodgers are packedwith “ifs” —Branca, Barney, Head, first base, third base and Pete Reiser. The only Cardinal “if” is a few removed, and replaced, bones. The consensus in the American league circuit leans strongly to the Red Sox. I know the Tigers think they will beat out the Yankees. They don’t think they can beat out the Red Sox —but they figure there’s a chance with better pitching, which they might get. And better pitching can pick up a lot. Yanks Need DiMdggio The collapse of Yankee hitting last year, plus the type of spring train ing they have employed, won’t be any big help. Both the Red Sox and Tigers will leave Florida much bet ter conditioned teams. The injury to Joe DiMaggio has been a hard blow. Joe is the Yankee spearhead. There will have to be a terrific up ward lift on the part of the Yankees to beat out either Red Sox or Tigers —possibly to head off the Indians. At this moment, the Yankees are not in any too high favor as pennant people. Russo could make a big difference. Yankee pitching can be O.K., as it was last year, but there must be a big change in Yankee hitting, Yankee spirit, and Yankee hustle. This refers to the Yankees of 1946, not the squad getting ready for 1947. But the 1947 Yankee squad must know by now how many games it lost last year through this wrecking fault. A few transfusions of Cardi nal blood could help more than a trifle. You can bank on Bucky Har ris, Chuck Dressen and Red Corrl- den to handle more than their share of the plot, but they are not out on the field winning games. A Yankee revival could make a big difference, but this means prac tically the entire team must play better ball outside of Spud Chandler, who is still their best pitcher after some nine years of major league service. Cleveland Has Hurlers The vote we have picked up gives Joe Gordon a good year, possibly a big year, with Cleveland pitching al ways dangerous. The Cleveland out field, however, is below par. The Tiger infield isn’t any too hot, al though Kell is close to being the best third baseman in the league. The main job, of course, is sup pressing the Red Sox, with Ted Wil liams, Tex Hughson, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky. The vote, at this moment, is Cardi nals vs. Red Sox. The next vote is Dodgers vs. Red Sox. The third vote is Cardinals vs. Tigers. But after all, there is a hot sum mer on ahead, plus the grind of the stretch CLASSIFIED D E P A R TMENT CLOTHING, FURS, ETC.
