Truman Threatens to Take Battle On Legislative Program to People; MacArthur Sees No Russian Attach « EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of extern Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) TRUMAN: All Aboard! President Truman, who obvious ly regards himself as the “man with a mandate," was tossing some not too subtle threats toward con gressmen inhospitable to his legis lative proposals. Keep fooling with me, he said, in effect, and I’U hit the old stump again—and you know what that means. The President meant that if con gress didn't set about soon enact ing into law the pledges he made to the people during the November campaign, he’d hit the trail again and take the issue to the people— the way Franklin D. Roosevelt used to do. MR. TRUMAN apparently felt that by so doing he could whip pub lic sentiment up to such a pitch that congress would be forced to go along with his program, or else face possible defeat in the 1950 elections. Not having the vocal equipment of his predecessor, who could get desired results with his “fireside chats," Mr. Truman would have to climb aboard a train if he wanted to influence the masses. Strangely enough, congress didn’t seem unduly perturbed at the President's threat. Things went along in congressional procedure about as usual, with Republicans charging that the 81st congress is also a “do nothing” congress, while Democratic members were inviting comparison with the “do nothing" 80th congress. IT WAS READILY evident that Mr. Truman was needled by lack of congressional action on his pro gram. Reiterating his campaign pledges of last fall, in which he de clared the central issue was the "welfare of all the people," Mr, Truman asserted that lobbyists, pressure groups, and controlled edi torial pages, columnists and com mentators were offering deter mined opposition to his legislative program. "All we have on our side,” he said, "is the people.” Pointing out that he found on his campaign tour that the people of the nation are concerned about their government, Mr. Truman termed that concern a “fine thing.' "I propose to do all I can to help it along,” he added. Then he hurled the threat: “In fact, I may even get on the train again and make an other tour around the country to tell the people how their govern' ment is getting on." INFLATION: Has Two Faces Observers purportedly on the “in side” of things in Washington re gard approval of the congressional committee on the economic report —Mr. Truman’s proposal for con trols to ward off inflation—as lip service only and argue that none of the committee expect the pro posal to win congressional favor. It was said the favorable com mittee report was made only to “save face” for the President as he seeks to implement the pledges he made in his election campaign. THE COMMITTEE vote, which will send the measure to the floor of congress, was 7 to 4 for approve', and that came only after the pro posals of the President had been toned down. Critics of the Truman plan say it poses the unique theory that the country is in the midst of an in flation and deflation period at the same time—a condition admittedly difficult of comprehension. They assert, too, that it would give dangerous controls to the President at a time when they ac tually are not needed. One commentator observed that if any members of the committee considering the proposal had had any idea it would be enacted by the congress, it would have been killed completely before it ever got to the floor of the house or senate. Virginia Wave, Cathedral films’ star, receives the annual award as the best actress of re ligious films from the American association of religious film dis tributors for her work in the film, “Simon Peter, Fisherman,” in which she portrayed Concordia. sian attack on Japan held a bizarre aspect. With the U.S. as chief oc cupation force, how could the Soviets launch an attack of the Japanese without, in effect, making war on the United States? But, General MacArthur evident ly held the subject serious enough to comment about it. “In case of another war, we do not want Japan to fight,” Mac Arthur said. "Japan’s role is to bo the Switzerland of the Pacific,” he explained. THEN HE MADE a telling point in speculation of a Russian attack on Japan: “Even if the Soviet government had aggressive intentions toward Japan, Russia would be incapable of carrying them out unless she could secure mastery of the air and either had a far Eastern fleet of her own or possessed the means of neutralizing any action by our fleet. “Russia could not obtain air pre dominance,” he went on. “On Okinawa I had constructed at the end of the war 25 airfields with the capacity to dispatch B-29’s, then our largest bombers, on 3,500 missions a day. The whole of east ern Asia from Singapore to Vladi vostok would lie within range of those machines.” HE DID NOT point out that with development of the bombing arm of the air force since the war, even farther distances for bombing pur poses could be covered by present- day missile carriers. Of the function of Japan in the American strategy of defense, Mac Arthur said: “We never intended to use Japan as an ally. All we want her to do is remain neutral.” FEWER JOBS: For White Collars There are many fewer “white col lar” job openings than a year ago in most U. S. cities, but high grade personnel is still in demand. The volume of job-seekers, particularly men, is up all the way from ten per cent to as much as 300 per cent, but a heavy majority of the applicants are below-standard material and there is little market for them. This is the tenor of reports from 106 private employment agencies in 42 principal cities from coast to coast, surveyed by the family eco- : nomics bureau of Northwestern Na- ! tional Life Insurance company. THE “WEEDING OUT” process is now on in full swing, agency ex ecutives report, as employers prune down working forces to eliminate the lazy, the inefficient, the chronic absentees and the chronically tardy, “who don’t realize that the wartime gravy-train has rumbled to a stop, and the era of competition is back.” The biggest drop has occurred in jobs for untrained and junior office help, particularly male, the survey finds. But there is still a nation wide demand for salesmen and sales promotion personnel, and, in most cities, for accountants and other technically trained men. MOST AGENCIES report that sal aries are the same or slightly better than last year for experienced or trained personnel, but that employ ment requirements are stiffer, em ployers interview more candidates per job, and check their qualifica tions much more thoroughly. 1 The great majority of employers dealt with are uncertain as to the future, agencies report, but opti mists slightly outnumber pessimists. Most employers feel that pre-war competition is here again, and with it the immediate necessity of trim ming costs and sharpening effi ciency at every possible corner. The prevailing attitude is that good busi ness can be had by means of in creased efforts, if pending legisla tion does not turn out too unfavora bly; many concerns are reported as marking time on their future pro grams until they can see how the new tax program and labor law shape up. Answers Critics UNIVERSE: No Limits? Since the first man lifted his head and gazed in puzzled awe at a star-studded sky, mankind has been trying to discover the secrets of the universe. To that end, the huge, 200-inch Palomar mountain telescope was built and put into operation. But the telescope’s first contribu tion to the sum of man’s knowledge of the universe served only to deep en the mystery. Astronomers using it found that there is no outer edge to the uni verse of stars, and the look they took was twice as far as man has ever looked before. The astronomers got some pic tures of nebulae a billion light- years distant and spaced about a million light-years apart. Each one is a world of stars, like the Milky Way. The star worlds are about uniformly spread up to the previ ous limits of sight, about a half billion light years. THE NEXT STUDY will be to find whether there is any thinning of the celestial families as sight is extended outward. One stunning fact the discovery brought home was that there is more than one star for every hu man being who ever lived. Nearly every star family, or nebulae, con tains more than a hundred million individual stars. Now it is science concurring in the psalm: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firma ment showeth His handiwork . . Phone Aid Advances A bouse subcommittee has ap proved a bill to let the government make loans for a vast expansion ot l telephone service to farm areas. The unanimous action came after the committee had adopted amend ments aimed at protecting existing telephone companies and encourag ing the development of rural tele phones by private industry. The bill authorizes REA to make 35-year loans at 2 per cent interest. Former Gov. Mon C. Wallgren, Washington, nominated by Pres ident Truman to head the na tional security resources board, denies critics’ charges at com mittee hearing. He was accused of being "soft toward commun ism.” He branded the charges “ridiculous and silly.” WAR TALK: Little Ease-up There was little ease-up in the talk of possible war. War rumors were still flying, the latest reporting that the Russians had strengthened their garrisons along the Soviet-Norwegian border. A “well-informed” Finnish source was credited with the report. The informant said the Russian troops had come from the Mur mansk area. While not estimating the number involved, he said the troop movements had been observed and apparently were in connection with the stand taken by Norway on the north Atlantic defense treaty. THE INFORMANT said there were no indications of similar troop movements along the Finnish bor der. Norway and Russia now have a short common frontier in the far north. The frontier was established when the Petsamo region of Fin land was ceded to the Soviet union under terms of the Russo-Finnish peace treaty. The Soviet union recently pro posed to Norway that both nations sign a non-aggression pact. Norway has made it clear she will not en ter into such a treaty Instead, Nor way appeared disposed to cast its fortunes with countries in the pro posed north Atlantic treaty—The United States, Canada, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Luxem bourg and Belgium. SLOWDOWN: Banned By Court The supreme court has upheld a Wisconsin ban on the slowdown as a union tactic in a dispute with man agement. By a 5-4 vote, it sustained a state law which prohibits any concerted efforts by workers to interfere with production except by going on strike. The specific action Involved was a series of unannounced work stop pages. Scholar Who Dared Death Three Weeks Learns Old Secret i TEHERAN.—An American profes sor, who dared death every day for three weeks, said he had learned the secret of the inscriptions Per sian King Darius had carved on Mount Bisitun 2,400 years ago. Prof. George Cameron of the Uni- I versify of Michigan and the Ameri can School of Oriental Research copied the rock carvings by means , of a rubber compound. He did his work suspended 194 feet from a mountain ledge and 100 feet above the rocky ground just east of Ker in anshah in western Iran. Some- j times his son, Thomas. 15, went up ; with him on the scaffold and helped “The story of Darius’ life now appears with remarkable clarity,” Mr. Cameron said. “I know now the secret of four huge columns of the inscriptions, which have not been read befoVe because they were in an inaccessible spot. The full secret, however, is one that 1 shall not divulge until I have had fur ther time for study.” The Bisitun inscriptions, in three languages, are ranked as the most famous antiquity of the kind in western Asia. I II Churches Too Comfy, Congregation May Sleep CARLISLE. ENGLAND.—The chancellor of the diocese of Car lisle says he is against proposals to disperse the immemorial gloom and dampness of English churches. He says it might en courage naps during sermons. A consistory court recently consi dered a proposal to install lights and a heating system in the church at Gilsland. “If the heat in a church be comes excessive people might go to sleep durng the sermon, or at least have an excuse for doing so,” said Chancellor II. H. King. “Also, we don’t want theatrical lighting in churches.” The chan cellor also disapproved install- i n g electrical heating tubes under pews. The whole project was tabled for reconsideration. Cumberland mists will continue to invade the Gilsland church on frosty Sun day mornings. • Male Shoppers Rated Best By Girl Clerics in Stores NEW YORK. — The department store girls wear their prettiest smiles for the shopping man, but they don’t want to take all his money, Mrs. Lorraine Frankland says. "We try to sell him something within what we judge would be his wife’s price limit,” she ex plained. If he spends too much his wife will bring it back anyway and be mad at the store for selling it to him, she figures. Mrs. Frankland is the head personal shopper at Lord and Taylor’s department store. To figure that price list limit, Mrs. Frankland says she starts out low and works all the way up, mak ing a mental note of the point he starts perspiring. Then she goes back and "encourages” him to buy below the boiling point. What the girls really love about the men shoppers, Mrs. Frankland said, is they make up their minds so fast. The average man, shopping for his wife and maybe his mother or daughter, spends about $50 all told, Mrs. Frankland said. And not one in 500 of them buys black underwear, she said. Chicago Found To Have More Taxicabs Per Capita CHICAGO.—The nation's capital has more licensed taxicabs per cit izen than any other city in the land, although New York has the greatest □umber of licensed cabs, according to the International City Managers Association. The association, citing figures compiled by the American Taxicab Association, reported today that there were 9,024 cabs to serve the estimated 987,000 citizens of the District of Columbia, a ratio of one cab for every 109 Washington resi dents. New Orleans was said to have the second highest ratio of cabs to cit izens among thirty-nine of the larger United States cities, with one cab per 466 persons, or 1,500 cabs for its 700,000 inhabitants. Boston was rated third, with 505 citizens per cab, and Louisville fourth, with a 531-to-l ratio. New York was fifth, having 11,814 licensed cabs, or one to every 658 of its estimated 7,783,000 population. Greater Cleveland (Cuyahoga County) ranked last, with a ratio of 2,601 persons to one cab. Mrs. FDR to Devote Life To Furtherance of U. N. PARIS.—Mrs. Franklin D. Roose velt plans to devote the rest of her active life to the United Nations as "the best hope we have for peace.” “We may slide into war,” she said, “but we must support the United Nations. It may yet save civilization from the terrible set back of another war.” Mrs. Roosevelt is chairman of the United Nations eighteen -nation Human Rights Commission, which will seek next year to draft a human rights treaty legally enforcing those rights.

Leadership School Lesson for March 20, 1949 Make This Smart Doily I r TAKES more than a call of God to be a Christian leader. It takes study, it takes work. The call is nqcessary, of course, but it is not alL 4 Jesus set the church an example here as always. He called his Twelve; but he was not so foolish as to think that just because he had called them they were all ready to go out and take the lead. Jesus put them thrirngh what Dr. Foreman may be called the first Leadership Training School in the history of the Christian church. Who Was Enrolled? T HE TWELVE Apostles were the training class. Not all Jesus’ disciples were equal to it; perhaps some of them actually did not have the time. But these Twelve had al ready been set off from the others, not because they were better men, but in order to do more direct ser vice in Christ’s name. There was nothing formal about Jesus’ training school. It met wherever he was at the time—in a honse, cr by the roadside, or on a hill-top. There were no set hoars, no textbooks, credits or diplomas. Jesus kept it going to the very end, for even after the Resurrection, as Luke tells us (in Acts 1) he was still teaching his Twelve. What Did They Study? T HERE WAS no printed circular, no bulletin, no prospectus or catalogue. All the “courses” amounted to just one thing: learn ing to do what Jesus was doing. To this day, that is the aim of all Christian training. Mark and Luke mention at least four things Jesus’ training-school students learned from him: preaching, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and pray ing. It would not be quite true to say that part of what they learned was spiritual and part practical, for there is nothing more practical than praying as Jesus taught it, and Jesus never ministered to people’s physical needs without touching their spirits too. Many s person now in some hospital for the insane need not have gone there If he had had the help that a well-trained min ister can give. Ministers today are not taught how to perform miracles like the feeding of the 5,000; - but knowing that people’s physical well-being has a great deal to do with their spir itual welfare, the alert young Chris tian minister of today will be keen ly interested in Chiristian social ac tion. How Did They Learn? T HE TWELVE learned by doing. It is the only way you learn any thing of a practical nature. Memo rizing a textbook, memorizing rules, is not learning. You have learned how to do a thing only when you can do it. Of course you have to see it done, first. A boy on the farm learns to be a farmer by watching his father and helping him, more than from school courses in agriculture, useful as they are. There is nothing to take the place of apprenticeship under ons who knows. So Jesus' Twelve watched him, listened to him, helped him, before they were trusted on theil own. • • • Will It Still Work? T HE METHODS Jesus taught are just as effective today as they ever were. Not all churches nowa days follow his line to the letter; in fact, most churches do not. But the basic principles which Jesus drilled into his first traveling representa tives are still good. One is faith. Missionaries in the 20th Cen tury are required to take a great deal more equipment with them to their fields than one pair of shoes, one cane and an empty purse. Yet who can deny that any missionary of any church. In China or in Korea today, must live by faith from day to day? Another of Jesus’ principles was direct contact. People are n>t won to Christ chiefly by sermon: from pulpits, bul by in-the-home contacts. Ministers know this, missionaries know it; Sunday school teachers ought to know it too. Getting ac quainted with your boys and girls at their homes, and being a friend to them there, is what will give your Sunday teaching its greatest force and success.
