U.N. Shuns Spain pase REASON why the American delegation to the United Nations abstained from voting on Spain was because Mrs. the state department publicly if it voted for Franco. Warren Austin, the U.S. delegate, was all set to vote for sending ambassadors back to Spain when Mrs. Roosevelt found out about it. Immediately she telephoned secretary of state Acheson and gave him her very blunt views on getting cozy with a dictator who had played ball with Hitler and Mussolini during the war. Any move to embrace him, Mrs. R. told Acheson, would only embarrass the truly democratic nations of western Europe and play into the hands of. the Communist propaganda machine at a critical time in world affairs. Acheson seemed impressed with Mrs. Roosevelt’s argument and suggested as a compromise that . the American delegation abstain when the vote came up. He further promised to issue a_ statement blasting Franco as a dictator created with the help of Hitler and Mussolini, which he later did. This satisfied Mrs. Roosevelt and she has said nothing more about the matter. Senatorial Triangle The two women who are fighting over Sen. Harry Cain, Republican of Washington actually came face to face the other day. Mrs. Cain, who was put on notice by her husband in a. public press conference that he was divorcing her, nevertheless turned the other . cheek and went to the Hospital to visit the sick senator. While there, Miss Mary Hall, a senate secretary who may marry Senator Cain after the divorce, also arrived for a visit. The sudden meeting was too much for Mrs. Cain and she lashed out at Miss Hall for stealing the senator’s affections. “You may have the game,” she sizzled, ‘‘but you’ll never get the name.”’ Later both women cooled off and ; walked out of the. hospital to. gether. The Cain divorce is supposed to become final on June 14. The lawyer who is handling the matter for Senator Cain in Tacoma, Wash. is Ed Eisenhower, Ike’s brother, Rent Control Battle The legislatures of Alabama, Texas, Nebraska and Florida now are considering bills introduced by real estate interests to abandon rent control. One of the _ public-opinion gimmicks put out by some of the real estate boys is that a state can temporarily get rid of rent control, then later restore it—under the rent act recently passed by Congress. However, this is not the case. The rent-control act passed by con: gress categorically and definitely bars any reinstatement of federal rent control if a state or city once votes to decontrol. In other words, if a state or city once breaks away from the rent-control program it can never come back again. Atomic Contracts Painstaking, persevering Sen. Joe O’Mahoney of Wyoming has been applying the scourge to big monopolies for years. Now he has come up with revealing information on the way big corporations handle big contracts with the government, In 1946 the atomic energy com‘mission signed a contract with General Electric for atomic energy work at Hanford, Wash. and Schenectady, N. Y., under which G. E. was paid all its costs plus a fixed fee of $1. The total amount obligated under this contract was 370 million dollars, of which seven million was paid to General Electric for salaries, training of pergonnel, etc. Meanwhile, Senator O’Mahoney points out that it has become a common practice of the atomic energy commission to get around congressional appropriations by authorizing blanket contracts in such a way that Congress cannot’ judge their validity. In the current year, for instance, the commission has contract appropriations of §90 million dollars and congress has no way of knowing what it’s all about. British Compromise American Ambassador Leighton Stuart in China is mad as a hornet at the British for trying to make a deal with the Chinese Communists behind his back. Without telling Stuart a word, British representatives talked with . . the Chinese Communists twice. By accident Stuart has discovered that _ what the British have proposed is ' this: If the Chinese Communists let the British keep Hong Kong, the ish government then will be willing to recognize the Reds. Eleanor . Roosevelt threatened to denounce SCENES LIKE THIS MARKED BERLIN BLOCKADE LIFT .. With the lifting of the Russian blockade in Berlin, the living standards of the people there have begun to look up with the arrival ‘of many objects and foods which had not been seen in those parts for a long time. The first carload of oranges for the German people was an occasion of festivity as shown here. This was especially true for the kids, many of whom were too small ever to have seen an orange before as there had been none since the beginning of the war. : FDR, JR., AND MOTHER SHARE VICTORY JOY . .

Roosevelt, Jr., is shown with his mother, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, after his election to the house of representatives from the 20th New York district.

GETTING HIS APPLE SLICED THE HARD WAY .. Even in Melbourne, Australia, they say an apple a day keeps the doctor away— but will it keep the undertaker away if one makes a habit of having it sliced like this?. Pictured here is the assistant of a traveling knifethrower. One of his chores is to hold the apple on a stick in his mouth while the marksman, Smoky Dawson, heaves the shiv and chops the fruit. This photo was made a split second after the apple was split and one half on the way to the floor. = LEAVES HOSPITAL AFTER FOUR YEARS .. Raymond Edward Alderton, in the arms of his father, Raymond C. Alderton, leaves Kansas City’s general hospital where he has been a patient for four years, four months and 15 days of his lifetime of five years. The boy was near death from a throat infection when he entered the hospital in January, 1945. He was unable to utter a sound until a few weeks ago when surgery was performed on his windpipe and now is learning to talk. NEVADA CITY NUGGET _ ‘THE WHISTLER’ . . Elevenmonth-old. Jeannine Elain Arlaud of Des Moines has been whistling since she was nine months old after her parents took her to a band concert, She now puckers up and whistles when she is hungry, wants. to pet the dog or listen to the radio. $25,000 SMILE ..

Some of his injuries were permanent, MUNCHABLE MILLINERY .. If you wore this hat, you wouldn’t be reckless if you promised to eat it on a wager.

Jerzy. Michalowski, Polish ambassador to Britain, arrives at the foreign office to protest seizure of Gerhardt Eisler, bail-jumping Communist agent, who is wanted by authorities in the United States. Tuesday, June 7, 1949 LE a aE WRIGHT A. PATTERSON Socialized Education? RESIDENT TRUMAN proposes that the school children of today shall be the recipients of governmental care and protection during their future years. The government will plan for them; will keep them from. want; will pay their medical and. hospital bills; will educate them and their children; will provide them with homes, and other essentials. The government will plan and do for them what their progeny have in the past done for themselves. It is a glorious utopia that is promised, but what will it cost, and who is to provide the funds needed to meet the elaborate welfare programs? Government experts who claim
to be versed in such matters figure the cost over the next 50 years will be but the trifling sum of one and a quarter trillion dollars. I have no idea of the meaning of such a sum. I have no conception of its magnitude. I doubt if any one other than, possibly, Professor Einstein, or the astronomers on Palomar mountain In California, could envision such figures. In numerals, it looks ‘like this: $1,250,000,000,000, It is five times the amount of our present national debt. Where is such an amount of money to come from over the next 50 years? Those responsible for these wild welfare programs propose to take it all right out of the pockets of those who are today the school children of America. Each to pay in proportion to what each may earn, or what each may have. It is made to sound like a utopia, but it does not provide for that “something for nothing’ which it would seem to promise. The school children of today and tomorrow will pay for the ‘“‘benefits’’ they are so glibly promised. They will pay not alone for the ‘‘hand outs’’ they get, but they will pay the wages of the armies of bureaucrats who will be employed to plan for those who pay, and those who have will pay for those who have not. In addition to the 1,250 billions that constitute the one and a quarter trillion dollars they are to pay for government planning and care, they are also to continue to pay, .as their parents have, the local, county, state and federal taxes, with no indications of even a slight relief. That one and a quarter trillion dollars, equal to 1,250 billions, the school children are to pay is expected to provide for old-age pensions, low rental homes, socialized medicine, old-age and unemployment insurance, and other things. For all of it, the bureaucrats will do the planning, make the rules, and the children of today will pay to the tune of one and a quarter trillion dollars. From that sum the children, when grown to manhood and womanhood may draw some meager sums provided it has not all been paid to the bureaucrats. Each year the cost is to mount , to higher peaks, but, of course, the child of today will be the wage earner of tomorrow, and more and more is to be taken from the pay envelope of those who may have a pay envelope, to meet the increasing costs. It is Uncle Sam turned Santa Claus, providing the good little boys and girls deposit with him, in advance, the toys he will return to them IF—! Senator Taft asks the president and his followers to slide along a bit, so as to afford him a place on the welfare platform. He insists that unless the Republicans have a hand in. the welfare handouts, the party can have no chance of winning. The senator, too, believes all of the people can be fooled all of the time. But former President Hoover urges careful consideration of these welfare projects, and the terrific expense they will foist upon those who are the children of today. To him they are the fallacy the children will find them to be in the years to come. Herbert Hoover is the children’s better friend. How long will the American people stand for these grandiose, and ridiculously expensive schemes, the only possible purpose of which is to attract votes. Let. us hope we awaken before congress has voted the payroll taxes that will take from our children during the next 50 years that trifling sum of one and a quarter trillion dollars, most of it to be spent for bureaucrat salaries. Such a sum will never be paid, but the effort to collect it will break all of us. ae a * The FBI is a department of the federal government of which there . are no complaints offered by the patriotic, law-abiding citizens.
