Korea Is a Red Test ] 7 VERY move Russia is. making in the United Nations Assembly these days in relation to Korea reveals more clearly the Kremlin's determination to control that “liberated” country. If Stalin succeeds in this he will hold the |

Of course Russia objects tothe American proposal that the United Nations supervise elections, because the Reds cannot win elections that are not rigged and in which the voters. are not terrorized.

When Russia saw it was losing its case in the U nited Nations Assembly it proposed that Koreans be invited to testify. But again, when the American delegation tested ‘Russia faith by proposing that the lnited Nations gend a commission to Korea to insure that Korean representatives were honestly elected, Russia objected.” It wants only handpicked Simges.

WAY TO WORLD UNION

HENRY USBORNE, labor member of the British Parliament, has come to this country to urge a plan which is backed by 100 members of Parliament, It. provides that in the summer of 1050 the peoples of each nation shall hold an ‘unofficial election to elect delegates, one for each million, to

a conference which would. frame a constitution of world government. These delegates would meet in Geneva In 1050. They would submit this COIs i stitution to the various nations for ratification just as our Constitutional Convention meeting at Philadelphia in 1787 submitted the American Con-

Dogs Have Their Rights | By Mary Stidebaker, 1850 Centra} Ave. — Dogs being .the only creatures to have crossed

side with mankind, have every right 10 expect certain humane qualities in their owners. I cannot. urge too strongly the necessity of checking ‘over the below mentioned qualities before giving a dog into the kéeping of a new owner. ° ONE: A prospective dog owner must expect a . dog to shed and just be prepared to bear with it. We shed, too—and we certainly do not expect husbands or wives to throw each other out. because

‘proper dog owner must expect a dog to express himself and his emotions with a bark, a crying, or a whimper—as well as springing up and down joyously. Do not give a dog into the hands of a self-styled dog lover who Punishes a dog for any of these things.

‘of owning a fine, lovablé dog, always ascertain if that person’ will guarantee to keep the dog in the house all night long, every night® This is the one most urgent requirement. = Alsd the dog

is bad. The only way a good dog owner can possibly have his dog outside is by one of the following methods: Walking with him on a leash: putting him out in a ‘completely fenced-in yard: or securing his leash to a ring on ‘the elothesline. THREE: The third requirement of a proper dog downer is love. Unless the owner is capable’ of giving his pet a quiet, steady and constant love, with low-spoken words and daily companionship, then the helpless, loving animal is ‘better off as “an unwant. tray. For love is the entire core of life to a dog: People who expect a dog to be kept in “his place” and indicate that place is not beside. the ‘master, are people who should never be allowed to become dog owners, °

A FEAR THAT T might leave incriminating evidence Behind when I check out, moved me to investigate our attic the other day. And to my consternation I found a yellowed time-worn copy of “Night Scenes in’ New York; In Darkness and by Gaslight,” ‘the author of which was Old Sleuth.

He wasn't fhat way about other forms of literature; but for some reason, ( he wouldn't tolerate the sight of a dime novel around the “house.

Winter Made It Tough

ONE BUMMER, 1 recall, we read 10 glorious dime novels in the shade of those trees, including “The Pioneer Gambler's Wife” and “The Double Daggers, or Deadwood Dick's Defiance.” The literary excel-

“lence of both justified the lies we told when asked

to explain our absence away from home.

In the winter, the problem of reading dime novels was ‘much more difficult. To tell the truth, the problem was never solved. The best we could do under these circumstances was to sneak in a little reading in bed.

‘Always Available’

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY DURING THE DAYS that Paul V. McNutt held various high of fices with the Roosevelt and Truman administrations, he sometimes was referred to as being “always available” for a place on the minal Democratic ticket.

Now, however, the former Indiana Governor is in private law’ practice, with such well-heeled clients as the insurance companies and movie industry, and he has lost this gonfalon. But it seems to ‘have been snatched up by another native son of Indiana—Oscar R, (Jack) Ewing. - ¥

When he was among" those mentioned as a possible viee p: dential candidate during the Democratic, National Committee meeti here this week, Jack quickly pointed out that he “wasn't running} Back of that statement is the unwritten law that the President picks his own running mate and therefore any open campaign would unseemly. Yet: you can put it down that “Jack” Ewing is just available for a place on the 1048 ticket as McNutt was for those yesteryear,
