Wtnrf "" VAVAWAV yxy?'.gM EDITORIALS Furse's Fresh Flashes UNITY IN EUROPE Probably within two months, we will know whether France, West Germany, Italy, and the Benelux nations will be successful in forming a voluntary feder ation. For about two years now this idea has received strong support from the United States. The first step in uniting against the common danger from the East is nearing completion, the establishment of a pool for Western Europe's coal, iron and steel industries. After travelling a very rocky road, the Schuman Plan, as it is known, is about to become a fact. France's National Assembly ratified the coal and steel pool by the -unexpectedly strong vote of 377 to 233. The second part of the plan for strengthening Western Europe is the es tablishment of a European Defense Force. This will mean a common uniform for the soldiers from these six countries. Actually, the two plans, industrial and defense, are one. And as Gen. Eisenhower has pointed out, Europe cannot attain the material stature possible so long as it is divided by patchwork territorial fences. Certainly if these small European nations attempt to stand alone they will be broken just like so many small twigs under the wheels of the Soviet war machine. In unity there is strength! And the next two months will probably determine whether these countries are willing to give up some of their national sovereignty and are able to overcome the other obstacles that stand in the way of a Europe united against Eastern aggression. MEAT SUPPLY WHICH WAY? The Department of Agriculture now predicts that the pork supply will be smaller next Spring than at first antici pated and, as a result, meat prices may be higher than once anticipated also. The buying public, which was only recently given a rosy picture by the Department of Agriculture, now finds that Government forecast was incorrect. The Department still says the beef supply will be plentiful, which may tend to bring down beef prices, slightly but since the pork supply will be shorter than anticipated, it may also affect the beef supply and beef prices. A check over Department of Agricul ture predictions in recent years will con vince the average reader there is little reason to become concerned with the lat est forecast. These forecasts have been altered so frequently in past years that it has been next to impossible to get a fixed and accurate picture of the future meat supply more than a few weeks or months in advance at best. Thus, by the time next Spring and Summer roll around, several additional Agricultural Department forecasts will probably have been released to the press. UNDER-GROUND BANK Herman Knaust, a former mushroom grower, is building a gigantic under ground bank to guard valuables against the perils of an atomic attack. The vault, which will have several levels from one hundred to three hundred feet beneath the surface of the ground, will contain hundreds of thousands of cubic feet of space inside the rock walls of an aban doned iron mine. New air-tight, water-tight floors, walls and ceilings have already been built of concrete, reinforced with steel. Thick doors have been installed and they will be guarded by both time locks and individual guards. This iron mountain storage vault is hghted with electricity by a public power line and with a stand-by power plant in side for emergencies. Inside the cave we a so find a small radio transmitter to sup plement the telephone service.

DREW PEARSON SAYS: CHURCH ILL AND TRUMAN LAST MET OFFICIALLY IN POTSDAM; TRU MAN HAS CHANCE TO SELL CHURCHILL ON EUROPEAN UN ITY; CHURCHILL STILL THINKS IN TERMS OF EMPIRE WHICH CAN NEVER COME BACK. Washington. The last time Winston Churchill met in an official conference with Harry Truman, he was on the ebb tide of a great and glorious career as war Prime Minister; Truman had just taken over the complex burdens of Franklin Roosevelt. That was at Potsdam. The other fig ure at Potsdam was Stalin, and Churchill has never forgotten how Truman new, nervous, peppery began that session. He began it by bawling out Stalin for being late. The train through Poland was one day late arriving, and Truman, with out directly referring to this, delivered a 20-minute lecture to the Russian dictator that sessions would begin on time, would be conducted with regularity, with a definite agen da, and o on. j uurins me leciure, tnur'r.iu and Jimmie Byrnes. th-n Sec retary of State, exchanged glances. Thev wished they could find some way to scft-pedal the new President. But they couldn't tug at the Truman coattails. And after it was all over and Secretary Byrnes was about to give Truman a friendly sugges tion that the time to bawl out Stalin was when the conference was deadlocked, not wherr it started. General Vaughan piped up to tell Truman how wonder ful the bawling out had been. A few days later. Winston Churchill went down to over whelming defeat in the British elections, packed up and de parted from Potsdam. Leaving Harry Truman to pilot Anglo American relations over the un charted seas of the stormy post war world. EBB-TIDE OF EMPIRE .Truman and Churchill met again at Fulton, Mo., in 1946, but Churchill was only an ordinary citizen then and there were no problems to discuss. Today Churchill comes back at the ebb-tide of his life, at the ebb-tide of the British empire. He will try to recover for the empire, and he will try to re cover the policies dropped when he was defeated at Potsdam. He will not find things quite the same as during his previous conference with Mr. Truman, however, nor on his previous visits to the White House. Mr. Truman is older, more experi enced, but just as peppery; just as inclined to bawl people out. In fact, some of his advisers have feared he might bawl out Churchill himself for proposing another meeting of the big three Stalin, Truman and Church ill. If Mr. Truman bawled out Mr. Churchill regarding the unity of Europe, it might set a new mile stone for world peace. For most of Europe will be watching the Churchill-Truman conference to see whether the United States follows Churchill's lead for the disunity of Europe, or whether Churchill follows our lead for the unification of Europe. So if Mr. Truman took Win ston to task on this vital policy, he would get cheers, not only from most of the mime minis ters but from the ordinary folks of Europe. Truman is more likely, how ever, to deliver a lecture not on this major issue, but on the much less important matter of unurcnm s idea nf a bis:-3 mM. ing. For he has repeatedly stated that it was up to Stalin to come to see him, not vice-versa. And Mr. Truman was a bit irked when the new prime minister would not listen to the advice of our American embassy in London to omit from a recent speech all reference to a big three meeting. Another thing Churchill will find different is the atmosphere around the White House, nnr- ing war davs. the Whitp Hnms became a sort of second home to Winston. He and his personal staff occupied a suite of rooms in the White House and the PM used to thump down the corri dor to the bedroom of the presi dent in his slippers, a gold ki mona flapping round his half naked torso at al hours of the night, in order to push British policy across on the sometimes reluctant Roosevelt. 3 A. M. CONFERENCES These midnight conferences became so routine that Ameri can admirals and generals wor ried about them. Churchill has the habit of not getting up un til ten or eleven, then going to bed after lunch and sleeping most oi me aiiernoon. Much of jhis mast important business, therefore, is carried on between tut luu kjl uiiiiici aii iu y. in, anu bedtime at 3 a. m. These late hours, American military claimed, wore Roose velt out. Furthermore they sus pected that the British prime minister chose them to discuss important decisions, because a weary FDR was more likely to compromise; second, because the military was .not around during these octurnal confer ences to object to Churchillian decisions. Be that as it may, Harry Tru man is not going in for these late parleys. He has already sent word to the British em bassy that his bedtime is around 10 p. m. And he will not be able to confer with Churchill later nan 9 p. m. PATHETIC HEROIC PICTURE In a way Winston Churchill presents a pathetic picture on his present mission the last great defender of an empire that is no more. , When he was wartime leader of Britain, Winston told Roose velt he had not been made prime minister to "liquidate the Brit ish empire." Yet he now faces an empire shorn of India, grasp ing desperately to retain Suez, with iron deposits exhausted and coal getting lower, thinner and more expensive to mine. Yet Churchill still thinks in terms of empire in those lush days when he was a buccaneer ing war correspondent in the Sudan and the Punjab the days when the world shook whenever the British lion roared. Intertwined with Churchill's past is one great policy which he has always followed friendship with the United States. Some times that friendship has been a slightly domineering partner ship wherein John Bull piped the tune and Uncle Sam paid the bill. Neverthless Churchill has fundamentally and contin uously felt that British and American friendship was the best guarantee of the peacs of the world though the empire, of course, always came first. If now, in his meeting with Truman, he can build on top of that friendship foundation a policy of European unity, re gardless of the old empire, then the peace for which he and the world have groped finally may be fulfilled. KEFAUVER TO RUN BY DREW PEARSON Sen. Estes Kefauver of Ten nessee definitely plans to an nounce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination early next week whether President Truman runs or not. The an nouncement will follow a private meeting in Washington with close advisers. One important decision to be made at this meeting will be the selection of a campaign man ager. Ex-Congressman John Carroll of Denver and Congress man Wayne Hays of Ohio are among those being urged on the crime-busting senator. Kefauver tells intimates that, in the event of his nomination, it will be entirely up to the con vention to select the vice-presidential running mate. However, he is being urged to accept a prominent midwest Democrat leader such as Gov. Frank , Lausche of Ohio, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, or Gov. Mennen Williams of Michigan.

He called the family physician and his diagnosis was appendicitis. His advice was to take her to the hospital at once. After an examination, his advice was to get her into the operating room as soon as possible. This was hard to take but he asked the surgeon to ex plain to his daughter. Her remark?
