1 „ i !i-WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Bid for Early Ratification of United Nations Pact in Senate; U.S. Spending Hits Peak for Year — Released by Western Newspaper Union - (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed in these columns, they are those ot Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) At renamed Truman park in Dusseldorf, Germany, 96th infantry di vision holds G.I. horse races. For want of thoroughbreds, Yanks ride shaggy nags to wire for takeoff. jUNITED NATIONS: Pact to Senate With indications of overwhelming approval the senate moved to con sider ratification ot the United Nations postwar security or ganization, with none of the bitter debate expected which marked the rejection of the League of Nations after World War I. Back from San Sen. Connally Francisco, where ?;5 800 delegates from 50 United Nations mapped the histor ic pact, Sen. Tom Connally (Dem., Texas) bid for early ratification, de claring that although no effort would be made to railroad the thing through, “I don't want to see the senate dilly-dally, shilly-shally and honey-swuggle all through July and August just because some mem bers want to make speeches for con sumption back home.” A member of the American dele gation at the San Francisco parley along with Connally, Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.) also was prepared to throw his full strength behind the move for acceptance. Known for his efforts to reconcile U. S. sovereignty with international co-operation, Vandenberg said that although the security organization was not perfect, it represented a step toward effective world collabo ration to outlaw future war. With no major battle looming, dis cussion of the power of the U. S. representative on the security coun cil to vote for use of armed force without prior congressional approv al may be academic, with propo nents suggesting later legislation enabling congress to instruct the representative on the course to be pursued in such cases. Under the present provisions of the security organization, however, there is little likelihood of armed force being employed against any of the major powers, since anyone of the Big Five — the U. S., Brit ain, Russia, France and China—can veto military measures against themselves. By permitting the U. S. to retain conquered Pacific possessions for defense bases on the discretion of congress, the framers of the se curity organization also steered 'clear of vigorous objections which might have been raised against the trusteeship phases of the new char ter. Big Job for Ed As congress prepared to ponder ratification, former Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, who played such an im portant role in shap ing the new organ ization, was as signed the equally ' important job of representing the U. S. on the all-pow erful security coun cil. As the U. S. rep resentative Smil- £dw Stettinius ing Ed will have the power to cast America’s vote in the settlement of disputes, the applica tion of economic pressure against potential aggressors to bring them in line, or the use of force. His power only will be limited by what ever reservation congress may make. Big Business's Personality Boy, Stettinius has risen high in U. S. politics since leaving the U. S. Steel corporation to first take over admin MEDICAL BILL With the nation’s medical bill in 1944 totaling 4 billion dollars and a capital investment in hospital plant and equipment of six billions, medi cine today is one of the big busi nesses of America. The direct con sumers of medical care paid 3 bil lions of last year's bill, expenditures by federal, state and local govern ments were 800 millions, and the balance was contributed by indus try and philanthropy a survey re vealed.

After the boiling, rinse well. istration of lend-lease and then move into the state department as its head when the ailing Cordell Hull retired. With Smiling Ed’s departure, for mer U. S. senator, supreme court justice and war mobilizer, James F. Byrnes, was prominently mentioned as his successor. A southern Demo crat, Byrnes long was a leader in national politics, first stepping into the international picture when he accompanied President Roosevelt to Yalta. Pointing up talk of Byrnes’ succession to the secretaryship of state was announcement that he would attend the forthcoming Big Three conference in Berlin. OPA: Extended for Year Giving Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson veto power over food pricing orders, including proc essed farm products and livestock, house and senate conferees agreed to a one year extension of OPA. In granting Anderson pricing supervision, the conferees knocked out the senate amendment calling for the payment of cost plus a rea sonable profit for farm products. Though backed by the agricultural bloc, the measure was strongly op posed because of its displacement of the parity system, designed to create a balance between what pro ducers get and what they must pay for goods. In addition to granting Anderson power over food prices, house and senate conferees sought to improve the tight meat situation by permit ting non-federally inspected packers to increase production and ship be tween the states, relieving the pres sure on federally-inspected slaugh terers whose civilian supply has been sharply cut after army set asides. Reports Japs Seek Peace Backed to the wall, with S. superforts pounding their cities to rubble and American armed forces drawing a noose around the home land, the Japanese have advanced peace terms to this country, Senator Capehart (Rep., Ind.) said. Although declaring he was not at liberty to re veal details, Capehart, indicated that the enemy was willing to surrender all conquered territory, including Manchuria. Little could be gained over the proffered terms from un conditional surrender, involving at least a two-year war in China, the senator opined. U. S. SPENDING: Sets Record Ending June 30, fiscal year 1945 found* the U. S. collecting more, spending more and running into debt more than in any other similar pe riod in the nation’s history. Though revenues rose to almost 45% billion dollars for the year, expenditures rocketed to almost 100 billion, leaving a deficit of 54 billion. As a result the nation al debt soared to more than 255 billion dollars. Standing at about 90 billion dol lars, war spending constituted the greatest portion of outlays. While expenditures for military produc tion, supplies and services were up, contracts for construction, subsidies and other obligations of government corporations dropped off to less than one-half billion dollars. As fiscal 1946 got underway, less expenditure and less income ap peared to be in order. Military ex penditures have been cut to reflect the decreased cost of a one-front war and revenues are expected to drop because of less overtime wages and reconversion layoffs. Waterfowl Drop According to estimates of Dr. Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service, the waterfowl population of the U. S. stands at 105 million. This is approximately 20 million less than the 1944 figure. The apparent decrease may not be exact, Dr. Gabrielson points out, as the population may have been overestimated in 1944. Medical Surveys Medical surveys have been pre pared for enemy regions where American troops are likely to go. This precaution is of immense value in preventing and controlling dis ease and infection of wounds. SAVINGS: Nest-Egg Grows Despite heavy payments due on income tax installments for the final quarter of 1944 and an increase in inventories of unincorporated businesses, individuals’ savings for the first three months of this year totaled almost $8,500,000,000. During the period, individ uals’ deposited almost $5,000, 000,000 in banks; bought almost $1,500,000,00# of government bonds, and paid up $1,000,000, 000 in national service life in surance and $900,000,000 in pri vate premiums. At the same time, individuals strengthened their position for the postwar period by reducing con sumer debt $200,000,000 exclusive of mortgage obligations. POLAND: New Government With the formation of a new gov ernment designed to be repre sentative of the whole country, the troublesome Polish question ap peared resolvec^ thus removing a bone of contention between the Al lies. Including political leaders who had fled abroad as well as those who had remained behind or found sanctuary with the Russians, the new regime is based on the Moscow sponsored Warsaw provi sional government to assure the Reds of a friendly buffer to west ern Europe. Though U. S. and British recogni tion of the new regime loomed, the Polish government in exile in Lon don assailed it as a “self-appointed political body composed of com munists and foreign agents.” As long as the Red army and police occupy Poland no freedom can ex ist, the exiles said. PACIFIC: Hara-Kiri “Twenty-second day, sixth month, twentieth year of Showa era. I de part without regret, fear, shame or obligation. Army chief of staff, Cho Isamu. Age of departure, 51 years.” Inscribed on a white silk mat tress cover found in his grave at the base of a cliff on Okinawa, the above phrasing constituted Lt. Gen. Isamu Cho's own epithet writ ten before he committed hara-kiri in typical Japanese warrior style be fore the island’s fall. American troops were within 80 yards of enemy headquarters on a seaside cliff when Cho and Com manding Gen. Mitsuru Ushijima knelt down on a narrow ledge over looking the Pacific and plunged knives into their naked abdomens while aides stood by to slash their spinal columns to assure death. With the two Jap chieftains, over 100.000 enemy troops also met their death on Okinawa in the savage fighting. FOOD: Fat, Oil Pinch In revealing another boost in the point value of margarine, the inter agency committee on foreign ship ments warned American house wives that fats and oils will remain in tight supply until the spring or early summer of 1946 because they are among the top requirements of hungry Europe. The committee’s announcement was made as OPA revealed that civilian meat supplies would be 5 per cent greater this month than last, with the largest increase in beef. Reflecting smaller hog numbers on farms, pork stocks will fall below June. Over 90,000,000 pounds of beef will be available weekly for civil ians compared with 73,530,000 pounds last month; 85,100,000 pounds of pork as against 91,240,000; 24.180.000 pounds of veal as against 23,040,000; 10,030,000 pounds of lamb as against 9,950,000, and 2,790,000 pounds of mutton as against 2,190, 000 pounds. STRIKES: Plague Officials With the victory in Europe remov ing previous restraint, the wave of strikes sweeping the country has taxed the resources of the U. S. conciliation service and War Labor board, and created anxiety among government officials concerning pro duction for the Pacific war. As the officials looked to Pres ident Truman and Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellen bach to correct the situation, latest reports put the total of idle at 86,000. Though the num ber of requests for strike votes had been rising since March, actual walkouts were checked until V-E Day. Wages have not been as important a factor in the strikes as union rival ry and struggle for leadership in the unions themselves, officials said. Another source of unrest has been unsettled grievances in war plants, with workers striking to forcq action. TRANSPORT RISE Total volume of freight and pas senger transportation of all types of carriers has shown a steady expan sion during the war period, rising in 1944 to the highest level on record. Airplane transportation showed the greatest increase during this period, rising 421.4 per cent. While railroad traffic increased 171.4 per cent: pipelines. 137.7 per cent; mo tor trucks. 123.5 per cent. The gains made by these carriers more than offset a curtailment of 29# [ per cent in water transport. Legume Seeds The proteins of legume seeds are generally of low biologic value, but when the seeds are heated and or supplemented with the amino acids, cystine or methionine, they give sat isfactory growth in animals.

Mrs. Helen Hicks, 2722 Lake St., GERMAN ATROCITIES We are hearing a lot of talk ex cusing or minimizing the German atrocities. It is coming from those' who wish to increase our isolationism by exonerating Germany, so that we may share the blame of war and thus all internationalism may be discred ited. The line is: “Look at the crimes and cruelties of Russiaffi Look at the awful things Great Britain and France have doneffi Look at our own black record Hi Not pretty, are they? Who are we to cast the first stone?” Whetn we hear this, we have only one thing to remember: None of these countries made a modem virtue of torture and extermination—none is proud of its misdeeds. Only Germany has proclaimed that such acts were national policy, and deliberately trained its people and its youth to commit them. -;- the wire to in A AC r otticers read: ONE—GUIDE .“FEPC appropriation expected to is now working at the Laundry andreacli House floor July 5.

C.—In an effort to stave off any compromise or legis lative trickery, NAACP Secretary Walter White and Leslie Perry, ad ministrative assistant in the Wash ington Bureau, made an all-out effort to muster every possible support for the FEPC appropriation. Cognizant of the fact that many congressmen friendly to the agency, would be out of the city over the July 4th holiday, wires were sent to each one advising them that an effort would be made for restoration of funds on the floor of the House, and urged them to be present to support every such move. Because there is no other way for Negro and liberal groups to know definitely who are the friends of FEPC, the NAACP is attempting to get the legislative proponents of the appropriation to move to secure a record vote so that the agency’s enemies will be forced to face their constituents. The Washington Bureau NAACP kept in constant touch by long dis- | tance telephone calls, with larger NAACP branches and state confer ences urging them to flood congress men’s desks with wires and messages demanding support for FEPC.
