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.

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

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. :

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.

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.
