has about given up the idea of a summer

4 The main reason is that Cotigrens is behind with its + work, It is, to tell the truth, further behind than usual. Right at the moment, the two Houses are trying to jam pl through legislation. to continue the Defense Production Act, Which expires tomorrow. This is the law which sets up most of the administrative authority for handling the “economic background to our military preparedness. It is improbable Congress will finish this job by to‘morrow. ' i Tomorrow is the end of the government's fiscal year, Jt won't be possible to pass, before then, the necessary .* appropriations to start the government off on the new fiscal year. That means more stop-gap measures. : The administration's tax bill, watered down by the "House, still faces long hearings and probably drastic revigion in the Senate. This may take until mid-September, © And there is President Truman's request for $8.3 billion ‘to spend on military and economic assistance abroad-—a * proposal which calls for the most thoughtful consideration.

" ” » . . » : THESE ARE only the main items, They are the ones congressional leaders have promised the President they

“will attend to before they go fishing. But they are by no

means all that are urgent, ‘The reasons for the predicament in which Congress . now finds itself are numerous—administration delays in : ; sending up recommendations, the distraction of the Mac“Arthur and other congressional investigations, and Congress’ own fiddling. The point is, Congress has trapped itself in Washing“ton for the summer—and maybe longer. Washington can be ‘disagreeably hot in the summer, despite all the airin the Capitol and elsewhere. But these are explosive times—and Congress gets paid “ty the year. Powder kegs are all around us and our

own domestic problems, which knit so closely with the.

. national safety and world peace, call for a constant readiness to meet day-to-day eruptions. Sen. Ernest McFarland, the Democratic floor leader, gays the Democratic caucus decided the “welfare of the country and the national defense demand” Congress stay

on the job. To say the least.

Way to Real Peace . TE 16 NATIONS with combat units in South Korea have declared their willingness to take part in any action to bring about a genuine and enduring peace in Korea,” but they want further clarification of Russia's cease-

! proposals. Y U.S. Ambassador Alan G. Kirk called at the Kremlin

Wednesday seeking these details and then reported by cable "to the State Department.

©" Thus in due time we may be told officially what this

peace talk is all about. - i Ps whatever comes of this let us not be confused by - diplomatic verbiage and face-saving formulas. ; The Alliedmations are prepared to make any deal which © will not appear to reward aggression. If the Red aggressors are in the mood to negotiate on that basis a settlement may in prospect. That would get us out of Korea—for which aany would be thankful. But there cannot be “genuine and enduring peace” in : orea or anywhere else until we are strong enough to make future acts of aggression unprofitable. © . » ” r : IF RUSSIA is sincere in wanting to end this particular . war it is only because it is to Russia's interest to lull us into a sense of false security. ; . There isn't the slightest reason to hope that the So“have abandoned their dreams ‘of world conquest. re will be no possibility of that so long as Russia is d by men committed to the Marxist-Lenin philBO eonhy. But if we rest our future course on the whims of © evil men, it will be our own fault. ; Russia is dangérous only because Russia is strong. . We can become stronger, if we will. That demands the fobilization of our might. Only then can there be real ity. - We must be strong enough to discourage aggression | if we can, and to defeat it if we must. Whatever the outcome of this Korean situation, we ‘ cannot afford to relax our preparedness for defense in the - slightest degree. While the diplomats proceed with “their I § exchanges of notes, let us get on with the job at hand. It “«could be our last chance.

“War of Ideas

"THE House of Representatives has happily put a new face i on the congressional resolution which affirms the friendhip of the American people for the Russian people and her captive populations behind the Iron Curtain. When the resolution originally came up in the House ly this month, only 43 members voted —36 to 7-—and hat fact was promptly siezed upon by Soviet propagandists indicating there was little support for the proposal. "It so happened that vote was taken on a Monday, a poor ‘day for Congress to make a show of strength on any- © thing because of the Tuescay-to-Thursday club.

IRAN . . Religion and the

TEHRAN, June 29—Religious fundamentalism is playing a big part in the current oil crisis in Iran. Without the revival of old-time religion in this country it is unlikely that the Iranians would now be challenging the power of the British to control E Iran's oil. Ironically, here we have a case of religious feeling working on the side of anti-religious Russia. There are two great Islamic sects— the Shia and the Sunni. The Sunnis— most Mohammedans are Sunnis -- trace their descent through Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet (who had no sons)... The Shiites trace from All, who was Fatima's husband and the son-in-law of the Prophet. The Iranians are Shiites. Racially. not of Arab stock, they early rebelled against the temporal power of the Arabs. The religious beliefs reinforced their nationalism. In matters of faith, they incline toward puritanism. For example, many Moslems honor the injunctions against smoking or drinking in the breach. But there there is a stiff fine for smoking in the streets, at least during the holy season. And the Indian parliament is considering a national prohibition law, I've been in Tehran before but never can I remember seeing 80 much public prayer-—prot-estations toward. Mecca in the streets. Nor can I remember when the muezzins calling out the prayer times from the minarettes sounded so commanding. Ramadan is the Moslem eqyivalent of Lent— a time of fasting from sunrise to sunset. An

ancient cannon on the city’s edge booms out the beginning and end of each day's fast. This new display of religion is a reaction from a long period when Iran followed the prevailing fashion of secularizing Islamic society and outlawing the outward symbols of religion. The former Shah, Reza Khan Pahlevi, an illiterate cavalryman, took over Iran in 1926 and went in for a series of religious de-empha-sizing measures which aroused the hostility of the religious leaders. Shah Pahlevi is credited. .with having started the gossip that only prostitutes wore the heavy veil. When devout women of the older generation resisted exposing their faces in public, the Shah’s soldiers sometimes tore away their outer clothing. He also severely Iimited the number of religious holidays. Those public processions of dervishes flailing their bodies as an act of piety were banned. Well-to-do boys and girls were sent abroad for higher education. Western dress, habits, and amusements became the rage. The Shah built a western-style railroad station and a western-style opera house,

Hand in Hand

IN WORLD WAR II the old Shah was compelled to abdicate in favor of his son, sthe

present Shah, because he guessed Hitler would

be the winner. Britain and Russia jointly occupied Iran, with some aid from the U. S.

to facilitate the movement of lend-lease sup-¢

"to Russia.

Since the high tide of secularization under Shals Pahlevi, Iran has been drifting back to her older days. Religious revivals often have coincided with nationalist movements.

DEAR BOSS .

WASHINGTON, June 29 — Sen. William E. Jenner (R. Ind.) made the best received speech of nis “career here in the Senate on Wednesday. He delivered it in a new statesmanlike manner and Senators on both sides of the aisle listened with more than customary attention. In temperate phrases, the junior Senator from Indiana once again

condemned U. 8. foreign policy, which led to the Korean conflict, and warned that the Russian peace suggestions of J. N, Delegate Malik should be spelled out in U. 8, terms to be acceptable. Sen. Jenner's suggestion for such terms is a Monroe Doctrine for Korea protected by a well-trained army of Asiatics. The new seriousness of . his delivery caused at least one Hoosier Republican Congressman to suggest that maybe Sen. Jenner intends to stay in the Senate, instead of seeking the governorship next year. His senior colleague, Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind.), wasn't present in the Senate

worth of scientific instruments and $52,000 worth

of non-metallic minerals. > From China, Japan received $5.2 million worth of trade goods. Included were peanuts, soy beans, rice, sugar, oil, hides, bristles, silk, textiles, coking coal, lacquer and $57,000 worth of iron ore. Japan got only $282,000 worth of goods from Hong Kong, principally foodstuffs. Bulk of the trade goods obtained from China was immediately re-exported to Hong Kong, Mr, Hale said. Bd ob SINCE December, Mr. Hale said, trade -between Japan, Hong Kong and China has dropped 80 per cent. Until the Chinese intervened in the Korean War, however, Japan's China trade was growing each month, The peak was reached in November, 1950—five months after the war started—when the total reached $20 million. China's heaviest purchases that month, he said, were “mild” steel, concrete reinforcing rods etc. At that time, he explained, mild steel was not on the U, 8. strategic blacklist. During this same period China bought considerable mining machinery, railroad equipment etc. Exports to Red China and Hong Kong now are limited to non-strategic materials. China currently is making fairly heavy purchases of cotton and other textiles. However, the amount shipped from Japan to China is less than one per cent of Japan's monthly output. Mr. Hale insists that none can be used to make uniforms or tents, Meanwhile, Japan is buying cotton from the United States. However, Mr. Hale said U. 8. officlals are certain that no American cotton is being resold to Red China. Hong Kong traders protested violently when

WASHINGTON, June 29—John L. Lewis, in the opinion of some union rien here, is ‘Opening another phase in his career as a union leader. His associates expect him to make - other speeches of the kind he delivered last night in

Detroit before a big insurgent local of the CIO United Automobile Workers. Whats the “old man’’ e's still robust ahd full of fight at 71 driving at? The question is beginning to worry his rivals in the AFL and CIO.

A study of his Detroit speech has produced this conclusion: That Mr. Lewis sees the probability of an industrial depression in the not distant future, and if it puts unions in a bad way he would be in position to step into his ultimate objective—undisputed leadership of all American organized labor. Many statements in his Detroit speech support that theory. He wanted to know, for instance, what happens if the nation gets fully armed and finds nobody to fight. He warned ‘that “there is no guarantee of perpetuity for our labor institutions or our living standards ... American labor should awaken to the fact that economic and social peril lies not far down the road ahead.” The belligerent leader of the United Mine Workers pointed to the continuing disunity in

‘Moral Rearmament’ MR. EDITOR: . In your column “What Others Say,” Monday, June 25, you quoted ex-Communist Max Bladeck of Germany as saying that “Moral re-

armament is changing the world by giving it a new ideology of peace within a world wide classless society.” Those of us in Indianapoiis who believe moral rearmament to be the practical answer to the divisions of the world, either individual or national, appreciate this brief reference to the efféctiveness of this program. Max Bladeck and many other former Communist leaders from different countries, spoke in person at the World Assembly for Moral Rearmament just concluded at Mackinac Island, Mich. They, all said in effect, that communism must fail in the war of ideas, because it seeks to change systems instead of human nature. We here in America can develop a demonstration of inspired democracy, based on moral and spiritual values that will outmode class war and the Communist ideology. The price is our personal acceptance of absolute moral values and an honest seeking for “what's right, not who's right” in every relationship. ‘This basis will unite the sound elements in every nation, above class, creed or color. Nothing less will be adequate to do the job. This is the objective of moral rearmament.

Japan embargoed shipments there after ‘China rad the Korean War. As a result a plan was devised whereby Hong Kong purchasers submit certificates of essentiality. They are required to swear that nothing purchased from Japan will be re-exported after it reaches Hong Kong. All export permits involving Hong Kong are referred by U. 8. officials to the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry. “We don't take anybody's word,” Mr, Hale said. “We make our own investigations. We have eyes and ears all over the world. Nothing goes to Hong Kong until we are certain it is needed there and will stay there.” Japan currently requires export licenses for goods in 32 broad categories. Mr. Hale says ft is much more comprehensive than our blacklist. It includes most minerals and foodstuffs, and all petroleum, natural or synthetic rubber, chemicals, medicine, fertilizers, fats and ofls. It also includes all scientific precision or professional instruments and parts, all mining, pumping, oil well, construction, transportation, communications or agricultural equipment plus machine tools, ball bearings, roller bearings etc.

MR. HALE said enforcement was Handled by U. 8. Army officers in charge of Japanese ports. The system, he ‘said, is rigid enough to preverd smuggling. All goods destined for Hong Kong or Red China must be opened in the presence of U. 8. officials and inspected by them. He admitted, however, that it's possible a Currently the Russians are holding more than 100 .Japanese fishing boats accused of infringing in Russian territorial waters off Hokkaido. It's possible, Mr. Hale conceded, that some such boats get themselves captured in order to carry trade goods to Vladivostok for transshipment to Red China. But he insisted this was negligible. ‘

organized labor—which, incidentally, he caused by organizing the CIO—as a cause for alarm, and for that he blamed union officers, not the rank and file. He detailed his own efforts, after he had abandoned the CIO and returned to the AFL for a short stay, to reunite the two big organizations. In the depression of the 1930's. organized labor reached a low point of influence. It was brought to increased power by the New Deal's Wagner Act, and it has continued to grow under the Taft-Hartley Law. A factor in this growth

_has been competition between the CIO and AFL.

But Mr. Lewis now predicts that a combination

‘of Taft-Hartley and a falling market for labor,

plus the disunity, means troublesome days ahead. ; £

‘Just a Nitwit’

_ MR. LEWIS’ unmerciful twitting of Walter Reuther, auto workers’ president, on his. home grounds is regarded here as an incidental part of his larger plan. He apparently is not out—at least, not yet—to take over any segments of the world’s largest union, but to- weaken the faith of his followers in the probable heir-apparent to Philip Murray in the CIO presidency. His characterization of Mr. Reuther as a “pseudo-intellectual nitwit,”” and his remarks about Mr. Reuther’'s visit to Moscow 30 years ago and his alleged {failure to understand Marxist writings were of the kind to make “redheaded Walter” grow redder. But they apparently drew no protest from his huge Detroit audience (most newspapers estimated it at 50,00013. So far there are no takers, and none likely, for Mr. Lewis’ offer to put $10 million of mine worker money into a national labor defense fund if 40 other unions will put a million apiece. Mr. Lewis previously had made a somewhat similar proposition.

LATER HE pointed out that no matter how good the sucgestions of Sen. Jenner might be in regard to Korean peace, they will get no attention “because he is not a member

of the Senate Foreign Rela-

‘tions Committee.”

Sen. Capehart, who is serving his second term, then philosophised on some of the techniques of the Senate which

he has learned the hard way. “1 found out,” he said, “that it is idle to try and get anything done, unless you are a member of the committee handling that particular matter. “The closest I ever came to getting any recognition in the foreign field was when I got some votes for my substitute Marshall Plan, which would have put the financing on an RPC basis. I still think that if I had been on the. Foreign Relations Committee, my plan would have been adopted by the Republican 80th Congress. But of course I had no chance when the late Chairman Arthur M. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) turned thumbs down on it. I noticed then that Sen. Vandenberg never devoted his attention to any domestic matters, but was an acknowledged specialist on foreign relations. Now that is what I am trying to do.”

The senior Senator from In-

diana has‘*two committee assignments that are right down his liey as a successful busi-

ab

nessman, manufacturer and large-scale farm operator. nn » " THEY ARE banking and currency, and interstate and foreign commerce. Each deals with economics and finance, a field in which Sen. Capehart

has some specialized knowledge. “The main thing necessary,” Sen. Capehart continued, “is to be present for all the committee meetings and hearings. It is just impossible to become an authority on anything in the Senate If you neglect this daily grind of committee work. “Of course you can get a spectacular name by playing the lead in a Senate TV show and then write for magazines and tour the country lecturing, but those things just do not count in the actual functioning of the Senate itself. In fact they are a handicap. For fellow. Senators soon list you as a shirker, who is so busy out talking or writing for fees that Senate work must be carried on without your help. “I've learned my lesson about these things. So far as 1 am concerned, these foreign speeches will -all come from Sep. Jenner of Indiana -— not We.”
