Jayeees Sponsor Tour
A GANGLING Austrian youth
with an engaging smile is the
! pay-off in a great campaign for
international good will. He is Eric
Geiger, a Junior Chamber of Com
merce member from Salzburg,
Austria, and now an adopted son
of Texas.
Geiger has been touring the
United States as a guest of patriot
ic Jayeees in the U.S.A., living in
their homes, taking part in their
dinner-table arguments, and meet
ing their friends.
The project began with letters ex
changed between the Salzburg and
Amarillo, Texas, junior chambers
jof commerce. Finally, as one step
in promoting people - to - people
friendship, the Texans “adopted”
the Salzburg chamber and ar
ranged for Eric’s visit to the U.S.A.
, He stayed in Amarillo with a dif
ferent member each day, and even
tually arrived in Washington where
he watched sessions of congress,
took in the Lattimore hearing, and
■met Secretary of State Dean Ache-
son.
' Congress fascinated Geiger. “It
is so democratic and so individual,”
he said. “In our parliament if a
member dares defy his party, he
mxist resign. Here, you have so
much freedom!”

Communist Who’s Who
! The Communist Daily Worker has
(Violently denounced Earl Browder,
ex-leader of the Communists, and
Bella V. Dodd, ex-Communist, fol
lowing their testimony that Owen
jLattimore was never a Communist
iparty member nor a Soviet spy ...
|You can’t tell who’s where or when
about Communists any more . . .
Speaking of who’s where, the files
of the Communist New Masses
show that blue-blood governor of
Massachusetts, Leverett Saltonstall
'(now senator), wrote a special ar
ticle for the New Masses in 1944
stating: “The Moscow pact and
Cairo and Teheran parleys are the
answer to the prayers of millions
of people that nations can get along
together.” . . . Better not let Sen
ator McCarthy or Congressman
Smathers see that . ^ . Also Gard
ner Cowles, Jr., publisher of Look,
Quick and Flair praised the Rus
sians in the same New Masses. So
did A. M. Hamilton, vice president
of American Locomotives ... In
cidentally, Earl Browder was ex
pelled as boss of the Communist
party for repeatedly arguing that
Russia and capitalist America could
live together harmoniously.
Capital News Capsules
, KANSAS CITY CLEANUP—Most
Interesting fact developed at the
Kansas City crime probe is that big
racketeers are carefully obeying
federal laws. They aren’t afraid
of state and city laws where local
officials are easier to bribe. But
they are afraid of federal laws . . .
That’s why the underworld is lean
ing over backward not to get caught
in conspiracy. In Kansas City, at
least, they operate in small groups,
rather than in syndicates that cross
state lines.
what McCarthy really
SAID—Secretary of State Acheson
now has two affidavits from people
who heard and recorded Senator
McCarthy’s famous speech at
Wheeling, W. Va., stating that the
state department had 205 card-
carrying Communists. The man
ager of the local radio station, who
recorded McCarthy’s speech, is one
of those who is giving the state de
partment an affidavit.
BYRD'S LOBBY—Senators »can
thank their colleague, Harry Byrd
of Virginia, for increasing their
office work. Byrd secretly inspired
a flood of telegrams to congress on
deficit spending. He even dictated
what several groups should say in
their wires to congress. The farm
equipment association promptly ap
pealed to its dealers to carry out
Byrd’s bidding, but warned: “Please
do not mention Senator Byrd’s
name in your telegram to congress
men, and change the wording
around so that all wires will not
read the same.”
AIKEN’S PAID AUDIENCE—
Good old Senator Aiken of Vermont
can add the name of another public
official who has been speaking to
paid audiences — himself. Aiken
fitirred up a national hoopla over
the fact that the agriculture depart
ment paid Minnesota county com
mitteemen to hear Secretary of
Agriculture Brannan speak in St.
Paul. But the other night, Aiken,
himself, addressed a similar meet
ing of Vermont county committee
men in Burlington. They were also
paid, as is the custom in every
state.
U.S. COLD - WAR STRATEGY—
GHQ for the new cold war offensive
will be the grimy old state, war
and navy building next to the White
House. The planning of strategy
will be by two agents known to
few Americans—the national secur
ity council and the national security
resources board. They will call the
signals for the defense department,
atomic energy commission, the
state department, EGA, and other
agencies. This explains why Stuart
Symington, a head-up operator, was
taken from his post as secretary
of air to run the resources board.
WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS-
Senator Pepper Is Defeated;
Savings Bond Drive Underway;
Loyalty Files Opened to Probe
The Winner!
(EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those of
Western Newspaper Union’s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.)
POLITICS:
A New Trend?
Political observers were face to
face with the question: is there a
new political trend in the wind?
In Florida 36-year-old George
Smathers defeated Sen. Claude
Pepper, one-time new dealer, by
well over 65,000 in the democratic
primary. Critics of the Fair Deal,
especially the revolting southern
ers, called it a victory over alarm
ing “creeping socialism,” big gov
ernment, unbalanced budgets and
the welfare state.
The winner, however, told Re
publicans to take no comfort from
his victory. He said:
“The people of Florida in this
election proved they were unwilling
to depart from the well-established
and basic principles of the Demo
cratic party. They do not wlsfo to
venture off down the side roads of
extremism or dangerous experimen
tation.
“Nor are they interested in turn
ing the clock back to isolationism
and the do-nothing attitude of the
Republican party.”
Meanwhile, the people of Texas
elected the first Republican con
gressman in 24 years when Ben H.
Guill, 40-year-old Pampa broker
and former schoolteacher, defeated
10 Democrats. It was a sudden-
death election to fill the unexpired
term of Gene Worley who had re
signed to become a federal judge.
Guill said he was going to Wash
ington as one small protest and
added: “ If I go up there
as one small protest, maybe the
powers that be won’t think they
have the whole country in the bag.
Maybe some of those big shots will
take a look at this little segment of
Texas and take warning.”
BOND DRIVE:
Save for Independence
With a gentle tap on the Liberty
Bell, Secretary of the Treasury
John W. Snyder on May 15 opened
the greatest savings bond drive in
the peacetime history of the coun
try. The drive continues through
July 4.
The bell is the symbol of the
1950 drive. The theme: “Save for
your independence—buy U.S. sav
ings bonds.”
Fifty-two replicas of the historic
relic are on tour of the 48 states.
District of Columbia, Alaska,
Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. They will
visit over 2,000 communities and
will be viewed by millions of peo
ple.
The bells were made at the
foundry of the Sons of Georges
Paccard at Annecy-le-Vieux in
France and are said to produce the
exact tone of the Liberty Bell be
fore it was cracked in 1835.
The treasury department has one
objective—to promote the sale of
savings bonds in order to encour
age thrift. An attempt will be made
to contact every potential buyer of
savings bonds in the nation.
At the conclusion of the drive,
Snyder said a bell will go to each
state and territory for permanent
exhibit.
INDOCHINA:
To Get Aid
Secretary of State Acheson an
nounced in Paris that Indochina
would get immediate American aid
in the form of military equipment
in an effort to rid the country of
the guerrilla war which has been
going on for four years.
He announced the bulk of $75,-
000,000 already appropriated to com
bat communism in the Far East
will go to the ^French backed Viet
namese of ex-Emperor Bao Dai
and the associated states of Cam
bodia and Laos' to fight Moscow
backed Ho Chi Minh.
Many observers felt the move
was an important one in the battle
against communism in that Section
of the world. Some believed the
Communists may have made too
many gains and the aid will be
“too little and too late.”
Acheson indicated the United
States would expect a greater de
gree of self-government for the
three Indochina states under the
French.
He added, “The United States
considers the situation to be such
as to warrant its according eco
nomic aid and military equipment
to the associated states of Indo
china and to France in order to
assist peaceful and democratic de
velopment.”
KING:
Crowns Self
Boston-bom Phumiphon Aduldet,
who has been on the front pages
of American newspapers a great
deal recently because of his mar
riage and ttte announcement that
ha had written music for a Broad
way production, lifted a nine-tiered
crown on his head and weeame
Rama IX, king of Thailand.
The coronation was performed
with all the mystic pomp and cere
mony of the Chakri dynasty.
LABOR:
Strike Settled
George Smathers, 36, casts
his vote in his race against
Senator Claude Pepper for the
U.S. senate. Smathers defeated
Pepper by well over 65,000
votes. Pepper had been a mem
ber of the upper honse for 14
years. His defeat is considered
a blow against President Tru
man.
SPY HUNT:
Files Available
The Communist spy hunt, called
by many a witch hunt and a mud
slinging campaign against admin
istration big shots, took a new turn
when President Truman agreed to
give investigators the complete
state department loyalty files on
the 81 cases cited by Senator Mc
Carthy.
Although Truman’s approval did
not cover F.B.I. files, a great
amount of F.B.I. material is in
cluded in the reports.
It now comes to light that the 81
persons named by McCarthy have
been investigated by four other con
gressional committees.
Senator Tydings, chairman of the
subcommittee which has been look
ing into McCarthy’s allegations,
said: “No adverse report concern
ing these employees came to the
floor of the house or the floor of the
senate and none was sent to the
state department after the other in
vestigations.
Some sources are saying public
opinion is beginning to blow the lid
off the scandals of the Truman ad
ministration. But others believe
too much time and money are being
wasted in an effort to create Com
munist hysteria for political rea
sons.
The public, meanwhile, was be
coming a little bored and skeptical
of explanations from either side.
Some logical explanation of what
has been going on had better be
made and soon, the voter was say
ing.
TRUMAN:
On Tour
President Truman began his west
ern tour with four speeches on be
half of the Brannan agricultural
program, but took time also to
preach the gospel against isolation
ism.
And it was a new Truman, using
gentle ridicule against his political
enemies instead of the free-swing
ing, sledgehammer blows he used
on a similar trip two years ago.
That in itself was enough to make
many a politician raise his eye
brows.
The President shoved his needle
of ridicule deep when he touched
on isolationism. He said:
“Now isolationism would be a
cheap policy to follow. It would be
easy and cheap to stop spending
money on our army and navy and
air force and to stop sending sup
plies to other countries who sur
vived the great war. We can stop
these things today.
“Isolationism would be mighty
cheap for today and tomorrow and
maybe next week. You remember
how cheap isolationism was in the
1920’s. Taxes were cut, at least for
the big fellows, but look at the ter
rible price we have paid for iso
lationism in the second world war.
“Today exactly the same issue
faces us. There are still some men
who keep telling you that we can
economize by following an isola
tionist policy. These men can’t see’
beyond the end of their noses.
“They don’t see that isolationism
would let the rest of the world be
swallowed up by communism. That
would certainly bring on a new
world war Just as it did in 1939. We
reneged in 1921, just as Russia to
day is doing with the help of our
own isolationists.”
Beauty
Elizabeth Taylor, generally known
as one of the most beautiful women
in the movie world, was married
in what has been publicized as the
movie capital’s wedding of the year.
The groom is Conrad (Nick) Hil
ton, scion of the hotel family.
Seven hundred guests were in
vited to the wedding and about SM
to a reception at the Bel-Air coun
try club.
The 100-day-old Chrysler strike,
the second longest and costliest in
the history of the automobile in
dustry, has been settled.
The union claimed it won the “10
cents an hour package” in pensions
and hospital and medical benefits
for which the strike was called.
To put the strike above the mer
cenary level, UAW president Walter
P. Reuther said, “The Chrysler
strike was a part of a great human
crusade to build a better tomorrow
and a better world.”
But labor observers said the
strike was too long and too costly
for anyone to benefit. About 89,000
Chrysler workers in 25 plants and
50,000 in supplier plants had been
idle.
Also on the labor front, John L.
Lewis announced that the UMW wel
fare fund would resume payment of
benefits next month. Benefits were
suspended for almost a year during
the UMW’s drawn out strikes and
restricted work weeks.
Another -important move in the.
labor world was the announcement
of William Green of the AFL that
his union is willing to meet with the
CIO to form a united organization
“of all forces and groupings erf or
ganized labor.”
In a letter to Philip Murray,
Green proposed:
1. To co-ordinate work on econom
ic, legislative and political prob
lems.
2. To achieve organic untiy.
T-H LAW:
Non-Red Oath *
Labor unions, bitter enemies of
the Taft-Hartley act since the day
it was enacted, found themselves
confronted again with one of the
most disliked provisions of the law.
The U.S. supreme court upheld
the provision that requires union
officials to file non-Communist
oaths if their unions are to use
machinery of the national labor
relations board.
Both national and local officers
of most unions have filed such af
fidavits, although a few holdouts
remain.
Chief Justice Vinson said in his
31-page opinion, “Those who, so
Congress has found, would subvert
i the public interest cannot escape
I all regulations because, at the same
time, they carry on legitimate po
litical activities. To encourage
unions to displace them from posi
tions of great power over the na
tional economy while at the same
time leaving free the outlets by
which they may pursue legitimate
political activities of persuasion
and advocacy, does not seem to us
to contravene the purposes of the
first amendment.”
DERBY:
Near Record Bet
A Texas colt and a Texas boy
won the greatest sport event on the
American scene—the 76th running
of the Kentucky derby. The colt
was Middleground. The boy was
Bill Boland of Corpus Christ!.
There was another news story in
the event, however. Those who keep
an eagle eye on the nation’s purse
were startled that wagering on the
race was only $5,016 short of the
record.
A total of $1,248,026 was bet. The
record handle of $1,253,042 was set
in 1947.
For the full nine-race derby day
card, the handle was the third
highest in history. A total of $3,-
559,382 was wagered. The 1947 rec-/
ord was $3,636,403. The handle in
1943, second highest in history, was
$3,608,208.
If betting is any indication of the
economic trend, the prospect for
the rest of 1950 would seem excel
lent. Observers point out that peo
ple don’t wager when times are
hard.
Beauty Married
Beautiful Elizabeth Taylor
and Conrad (Nick) Hilton, Jr.,
son of the hotel magnate, were
married In what was publicized
as the Hollywood wedding of the
year. At the license bureau the
clerk told Hilton he didn’t look
old enough. Hilton went home
to get his birth certificate.

concerning Germany, one from
Russia and one from the western

2. The western powers are near
