It’s Nice to Have a Man Around the House
EDITORIALS
BY MARQUIS CHILDS
Washington Calling
if we desire to secure peace . . . it must be
known that we are at all times ready for war.
George Washington to Congress, 1793.
Longer Jury Terms
The Texas House voted Tuesday, 116
to 5, to permit grand juries to stay in con-
tinuous session for a whole year if that
necessary to ferret out and correct
what proponents called a serious crime
situation in this stste. If adopted finally,
the bill would be effective for only one
year.
It was argued that grand juries need
more time in which to probe all the angles
of organized crime. Under the present
system they don’t much more than get
warmed up before they have to quit. In
some states, notably New York and
Michigan, “blue ribbon" grand juries
have stayed on the job for months before
sewing up the loose ends of criminal
syndicates, some of which operate nation-
wide.
The author of this bill at Austin cited
Tarrant County as one place where long-
er than usual grand jury sessions are
needed to clean up a bad situation.
The big problem will be finding able
and competent grand jurors who can af-
ford to be diverted from their normal em-
ployments to service a year-long investi-
gation. Even if the jury did not sit more
than two or three hours at a time, for two
or three days a week, it would still be a
great drain on any man’s time and busi-
ness interests. -----------------
sitting? That’s the average number of
times every day Harry Truman has to
affix his signature to various documents,
not including the testy letters he some-
times gets off his chest in the stillness of
early morning. He seldom has a minute
to himself. The weight of responsibility
any president must bear, and bear alone,
is enough to break any man.
There have been external signs that
Harry Truman has had enough, but he
can’t afford to say so until sometime next
spring, just before the conventions.
He told General Eisenhower upon the
latter’s return from victory in Europe
that there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t
do for Ike, up to and including helping
him get the presidency. His admiration
for Ike hasn’t diminished; if anything, it
has increased, as events have shown.
Fed up with party squabbling, sick of
living in a goldfish bowl, tired to the bone,
Harry Truman sometime next spring may
announce:
“I’m not running again I’d like to see
Ike Eisenhower get the Democratic
nomination. He’s the man the nation needs
in this time of peril, and I’m for him first,
last and all the time.”
Human Interest Stuff
The wires are full of news. Some stories
are short, some are long, some are sad.
In this connection, the New York Leg- some are gay—nearly all are interesting
islature has been asked to strengthen the to somebody,
law permitting women to serve on juries,
on the ground that a heavy diversion of
manpower to the defense effort makes it
necessary to use more and more women
on juries. Under a law passed in 1937,
New York’s women serve on juries only
as volunteers; they can get off for the
mere asking. The new law would make
service for women mandatory. The only
excuse would be when jury service would
work a hardship, as when the woman had
to care for a school-age child or helpless
older person in the household.
Not a great while ago the voters of Tex-
as rejected a constitutional amendment
providing jury service for women. It was
suspected at the time that more women
voted against it than for it

ROBERT ALLEN REPORTS
WASHINGTON. March 7. The
first cautious preliminary testing
is now going forward la Paris
looking toward a meeting of the
big four foreign ministers. Am-
bassador-at-Large Philip C. Jessup
has gone for the United States
with his fingers crossed, looking
back over his shoulder to be sure
that a hasty retreat is possible.
This caution is understandable
la the past, high hopes have been
dashed when the Russians con-
verted a conference into a propa-
ganda forum.
There is a special reason, too,
why policy-makers want to avoid
a build-up in public opinion here
of great expectations. The chances
are that those expectations would
be dashed, or fulfilled in only a
minor degree. When that happen-
ed, the resulting disillusionment
would be exploited by those who
foster the belief thst war with the
Soviet Union is inevitable in order
to destroy Communism.
Constituting a small but power-
ful party, they have already push-
ed this conviction a long way. The
subtle and insidious acceptance of
this is worrying responsible offi-
cials. It is one reason why Jessup
took time out from a heavy sched-
ule just before he left tor Paris to
make a speech assailing this view-
point in strong language:
"It assumes that we are incap-
able of determination, that we
cannot stand a prolonged ef-
fort, that there is no strength or
value in the basic traditions and
principles of our democracy’and
our way of life. To put it crudely,
this line of argument is the theory
that the American people have no
guts. It argues that when we are
faced by a brutal enemy we ean-
not hold out either in the struggle
for men’s minds or in the struggle
to save their bodies from destruc-
tion."
CHANCE FOR PEACE
Harry Isn't Running?
This week’s U.S. News & World Re-
port presents as its leading story, “Why
Truman Will Not' Run in 1952.” It says
this is Truman’s last term, that he has
made up his mind. “He’s proud of his
record and feels a younger man should
takeover next time. He can’t see starting
a new term at 68,” says U.S. News.
But, the magazine goes on, the Presi-
dent will not make an announcement at
thia time. It would only touch off a battle
among bigwheel Democrats to pick a suc-
cessor. Also, his lieutenants in House and
Senate and the bulk of the administra-
tion’s bureaucracy would soon get out of
hand, knowing their future didn’t depend
on the boss.
The presidency always has been a man-
killing burden. Mrs. Roosevelt wrote re-
cently that Harry Truman’s burden is the
greatest in history, greater even than
that borne by FDR Did you ever try to
write your name 600 times at a single

Still another brief one. this time from
Washington: Civilian employment in
February was 58.905,000—“much the
highest for that month on record.”
And from Pittsfield, Mass , comes the
word that a motorist with a license plate
reading 611-969 finally got it straighten-
ed out at the request of the cops. He had
the thing on upside down, and his real
number was 696-119.

CAPITAL COLUMN
Pacific Peace Is Complex
%, PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, (NEA) — Background for
John Poster Dulles' efforts to draft a U. S.
Japanese peace treaty maxes a highly complex
picture. In some respects, the situation in Eu-
rope Is simplicity Itself by comparison. There la
at least an agreed - upon, single objective in
Europe Peace prospects in the Pacific are
rolled by many political crocs - currents.
The usual way to get a peace treaty la in a
full dress peace conference. Mr. Dulles, as
special representative of the President with
the rank of ambassador. Is apparently trying
to get a peace treaty by direct negotiation.
It la a now technique. It seema to have a good
chance of initial success within the next six
months. If achieved, it will likely come in two
or three steps. *
got a peace treaty with the Japanese through
separate negotiations, rather than through a
peace conference of them all.
Getting the Japanse to go along on the Amer-
ican peace program also will require consider-
able finesse. The Japanese people are believ-
ed to be 90 per cent pacifist. Their new consti-
tution forbids rearmament "forever." So the
lap government wanta guarantees of security
and protection from the United States.
As Ambassador Dulles outlined in his speech
before the American - Japan Society in Tokyo,
the United States will sympathetically consid-
er an invitation that U. S. troopa be retained
in Japan.
THEY’LL HAVE TO ASK FOR 0,l’S
This would be an entirely voluntary arrange-
ment. The Japanese would,ask for U. 8. forc-
es. The United States would then agree to their
First a separate U. SFJapanese treaty. A
still secret, draft text is already supposed to
have been largely agreed to by Japanese negoti-
ators under Premier Yoshida, £ collective security of the Pacific island area.
This might be to a United Nations force, com-
retentlon, also stipulating that the forces
could bo withdrawn without notice U the
Japanese did not contribute their share to the
The second step would be for Australia, New
Zealand, the Philippine Islands. Nationalist Chi-
na and perhaps other powers to mske similar,
separate peace treaties with Japan.
The third step would be to tie everything to-
gether In a Pacific pact agreement. The pur-
pose of this part would be to fit Japan into an
island screen, so thst sn off - shore Asian group
would be s barrier to Communist penetration in
the Pacific.
FEARFUL OF OLD IMPERIALISM BOGEY
For the near future, It would seem wise to
keep the British, French, Dutch and Portuguese
out of this Pacific alliance. Otherwise It would
take on too much flavor of an old - time co-
lonial imperialism.
All this is going to require considerable dip-
lomatie management. British Commonwealth of
Nations would probably have to give its con-
sent » Australian and New Zealand partici-
pation. The British fear anything that might
jeopardise their position in Hong Kong. They
fear American dominance In the Pacific
British, Australians and New Zealanders all
fear Japanese rearmament in any degree.
They mistrust possible revival of Japanese com-
mercial rivalry. The Filipinos still talk about
wanting to collect reparations from Japan for
war damages. It would of course be impos-
mible to get India and Nationalist China to agree
to B Japanese peace treaty in the same room.
All these are reasons, however, for trying to
patible with the Japanese constitution.
In his Tokyo press conference, Ambassador
Dulles made clear that revisions of the Jap-
anese surrender terms would not even be con-y
sidered. This means that Formosa would re-
main Chinese. It means that the United States
would retain Okinawa and the Ryukyus under
United Nations trusteeship.
The arguments to be used on the other Pa-
cific Island powers is that It is necessary to
bring Japan into a collective security agreement
to maintain balance of power against Russia.
How Soviet Russia will react to all this pro-
vides subject matter for interesting specula-
tion. The Russians are now believed to have sev-
eral divisions to Sakhalin and the Kurile Is-
lands, within easy invasion distances of north-
ern Japan. But if the Russians attack while U. 8.
troops are on Japan, it would mean war. The
Russians might not care to risk that.
The Russians may be expected to object to
any settlement which permits U. S troops to
remain on Japan or Okinawa, or permits Chi-
r.ese Nationalists to remain on Formosa.
But the Russians really haven't a thing to
lose, themselves, by making peace with Japan.
The Russians got all their loot in Manchuria.
If their title to Sakhalin and the Kuriles were
confirmed in a new treaty with Japan, they’d
have that, too.
Behind Production Squabbles
menL Federal ing instances of interlocking con-
trols. ,
"The food industry," declares the
report, "exhibits an extensive ar-
ray of interlocking directorates
which are significant both for les-
sening competition within the in-
dustry and for close relations with
other industries. In meat packing,
five of the 12 largest companies
are indirectly interlocked to ways
leading to reducing competition,
while in.the sugar industry, 16 of
the 23 largest companies have ties
with each other by having directors
on the boards of other companies.
"Half of the companies in the
grain products industry have ties
with producers of competitive pro-
ducts. Seven of the 10 largest bak-
ery companies are directly or in-
directly interlocked with directors
sitting either on competing com-
panies or together on a board of
a third company ” — (Post-Hall,

By ROBERT I ALLEN
WASHINGTON, March 6.—A
conversation at a dinner party of
Capital big-wigs shed some highly
revealing light on a main influ-
ence behind the fierce feud be-
tween Mobilization Director
Charles Wilson and labor chiefs.
The talker was Sidney Weinberg,
leading Wall Street banker and
Wilson's closest lieutenant.
What Weinberg said is signifi-
cant for two reasons. His ap-
parent confirmation of the bitter
backstage charge of the unlonites
that he, and not Wilson, is the
real mobilization , policy-maker;
and (2) his exposition of what is
the controlling rule behind this po-
licy-making.
, Weinberg expounded his views to
another top official, whom he has
known since World War I when,
as now, Weinberg held a high in-
ner circle job.
"I never thought I would return
to Washington," be said. "I fig-
ured I was through the last time.
But here I am. back in harness
again. I just had to come down to
see that things ran smoothly."
"I'm sure you’re doing that.”
smiled the other official.
"It isn’t easy," continued Wein-
berg "For example, I was over to
see Attorney General McGrath and
his staff the other day, and before
we finished they were calling me a
reactionary and Old Guarder.”
WHAT WE HAVE
"That must have been tough for
Justice Depart.-. ------
Trade Commission and other agen-
cies.
Note: Considerable resentment
exists In the cabinet against Wein-
berg and Gen. Lucius Clay, other
top lieutenant of Wilson. At meet-
ings of Wilson’s advisory cabinet
board, he is almost always flanked
by Clay and Weinberg, who do not
hesitate to Intervene and offend
the cabinet members.
ALL SET
Opponents of the long-stalled St.
Lawrence Waterway apparently
are all set to shelve it again—de-
spite President Truman’s fervent
insistence that the project is vital
for the defense program.
Senator Tom Connally (D., Tex.)
a militant foe. disclosed the secret
scuttling plan in a talk with a
utility lobbyist. ,
“When do you intend to hold
hearings on this proposal” the
latter asked.
"I don’t think there will be any
hearings,” replied Connally "Ac-
cording to my Information, the
Waterway bill will never get to the
House."
"You mean it will be killed in
the House Public Works Commit-
tee?”
“No. not there.” said Connally.
"The job will be done in the Rules
Committee. They’ll bottle it up
there." '
Similarly George F. Kennan,
formerly head of the State De-
partment’s planning staff and now
with the Institute for Advanced
Study at Princeton, argued in a
magazine article that so long as
there is a thousandth chance for
peace it should be guarded and
nurtured. He added that in his opin-
ion the chances for preserving
the peace are considerably better
than a thousand to one.
But while the need for caution is
understandable, especially since
we have a tendency to rush from
the extreme of hope to the ex-
treme of despair, there is another
need equally important. If there
is to be negotiation with the Rus-
sians, then public opinion must
be ready to accept the results of
realistic dealing at the conference
table. If concessions are necessary
on the part of the United States to
order to avoid the ultimate disas-
ter of a third world war, we must
be prepared to believe that our own
negotiators will safeguard this
country’s vital interests.
In the recent past from the State
Department itself, a tone of
gloomy pessimism has seemed to
preclude any resolution of the dif-
ferences between East and West,
however far in the future. Timidi-
ty and doubt dribbled out through
official spokesmen have implied a
lack of a positive constructive ap-
proach to counter whatever plans
the Russians may bring to a four-
power meeting. It sometimes
seems that our diplomats have be-
come so intimidated by the criti-
cism and abuse heaped on them
that they have lost the capacity to
try for a negotiated settlement
against a background of strength.
WASTE OF TIME
If this were indeed true, then it
would be a waste of time to bother
with still another meeting. To go
into a new conference with a de-
featist attitude is to invite failure.
Add It could also convince the Rus-
sians that there was no choice but
"What is too often forgotten Is the
fact that another set of attitudes is
involved. Ample evidence exists to
show a real fear among the men
who make Russia’s policy over
talk in this country of a preventive
war against the Soviet Union to be
unleashed with an all-out atomic
attack.
It is a safe guess that most
Americans have forgotten the sug-
gestion Secretory of Navy Francis
Matthews dropped into a speech
last August to the effect that the
United States bad better strike
first. The average citizen has prob-
ably even forgotten who Matthews
is. But they have not forgotten in
Russia. His name, together with
this proposal, constantly crops up
with the fact underscored that he
still holds what is presumably ah
important policy-making position.
That Matthews has little to do with
policy of any kind is a fact the
Soviets could scarcely be expected
to understand.
There are fears which are Irra- 4
tional. Every attempt at reassu-
rance is considered a sign of weak-
ness. That was the paranoid
mentality of Hitler and the top
Nazis. Sure of our own strength
and the rightness of our own esuse,
we shall not fall victim to such
fears. Patience, persistence and
fortitude will see us through not
one but a dozen conferences, and
always with the conviction that
nothing must be left undone to try
to preserve peace with honor—
