First Things
A JOINT COMMITTEE of the U. S. Congress
is still conducting an investigation into the
conditions that existed in Pearl Harbor at the
time of the Japanese attack.
This method of approach to the subject is
like locking the barn door after the horse has
been stolen. It is too late to remedy any action
that has been or could have been taken and
the whole matter is becoming slightly ridiculous.
There are a great many more important
matters that Congress must attend to and the
time and energy given to this one could best
be used for something else. Present prob-
lems are pressing for attention, the war is over
and Pearl Harbor should be a closed book.

Brazil emocracy
T HROUGHOUT World War II the United States
has exemplified herself as a country with a
democratic form of government. She has not
been content merely to assert this but has even
tried to effect the formation of other govern-
ments on a similar basis. At least in conquered
Germany and in warring China, she seems to
favor democracy.... she has taken a more than
active interest wherever there have been signs
of the rise of democracy.
Latest in the rank of countries attempting to
develop this form of government is Brazil in
eastern South America. A pledge to this effect
has recently been made by President-elect
Eurico Gaspar Dutra. The former Minister of
War had stated that "No one in Brazil is more
anti-Fascist and anti-Communist than I".
First and foremost among General Dutra's
plans is the replacement of President Vargas'
totalitarian constitution with one similar in,
many respects to that of the United States. To
carry out this plan a Constituent Congress
will meet soon to chart the exact form, which
is expected to restore to the Brazilian states
considerable power.
The United States may also expect to see her
southern neighbor relax immigration laws. The
present tight laws in Brazil became necessary
around 1934 during an exceedingly large migra-
tion of Japanese to Brazil. At this time, how-
ever, the facilitation of immigration would seem
desirable as the country still has many rich dis-
tricts practically unpopulated.
Another reform stressed by General Dutra in
his plans for a democratic Brazil is the admission
of foreign capital into the country. In recent
years Brazil has had several laws which hin-
dered the establishment and operation in Brazil
of foreign countries and foreign capital. Thej
President-elect has stated bluntly that he will
modify these laws to better the situation if nec-
essary.
These three reforms are but a few of the
steps in President-elect Dutra's plans for a
Brazilian democracy. Whether and to what
extent he will succeed in them cannot yet be
clearly foreseen. However, they do indicate
WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND:
Press Invades Truman Home
DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
By DREW PEARSON
ASHINGTON -A woman photographer wear-
mg toeless shoes has finally won the dis-
tinction of being the first and only press repre-
sentative to invade the sanctity of the First
Lady's living room in Independence, Mo.
For months photographers have been trying to
take a picture of the interior of the Truman
home, but Mrs. Truman hasn't even let them
inside the front door. In the first place, the
home belongs to her mother, and in the second
place, Mrs. Truman believes that a home is to
be lived in, not displayed to the public. How-
ever, Marie Hanson of Life magazine got in-
because she wore toeless shoes.
Miss Hanson's toeless shoes had caused con-
cern all during the President's Christmas trip
to Independence. Tne snow was deep, but
she insisted on doing her job in a pair of
summer sandals, her toes sticking out into the
snow. Even the Secret Service agents got
worried.
"If she doesn't do something about it," re-
marked one S.S. man, "I'm going to catch cold
just thinking about it."
Finally, President Truman happened to step
out on the front porch. Miss Hanson was stand-
ing in the snow in front of the Truman home,
her toes sticking out of her summer shoes. Mrs.
Truman, standing in the door, called out:
"Why Marie, what are ycu doing down here?"
"I came down with the press Party," Marie
replied. "I'm covering the President this trip."
"Well, aren't your feet cold?"
"Yes, they are," admitted the lady photog-
ra pher
"Why den't you come in and warm them
awhile?" invited the First Lady.
"Can I take a rain check on that," Marie said.
"I'm going to take a few more pictures."
"Yes," replied Mrs. Truman, "Come back when
you want to."
After spending 30 minutes in the neighbor-
hood, Marie ieturned to the summer White
House and knocked on the door. She was ad-
mitted by Mrs. Truman, and remained in the
living room for 15 minutes chatting. However,
no pictures were taken. Mrs. Truman didn't vio-
late her rule.
NOTE-Energetic Miss Hanson made the Pres-
ident "do his stuff" twice because she was on
the job when he left the little White House one
morning to deliver Christmas packages to his
mother in Grandview. She had risen early and
went to Independence alone, leaving other pho-
tographers asleep in warm beds. However, when
they wailed long and loud over the fact that
they were "z ooped," the President agreed to
pose for the benefit of late-sleepers. So at
3:30 p.m. the bed-boys got their pictures of Tru-
man carrying Christmas bundles.
NOTE-Photographers were invited inside
the Truman home for pictures of the 14-foot
Christmas tree, but reporters were not admit-
ted and members of the Truman family did
not appear in the pictures.
Russian Toast
THIS HAPPENED just before the Nuernberg
trials started.
The four Allied prosecutors met for cocktails.
The British and French prosecutors were very
-olemn. The American Prosecutor, Supreme
Court Justice Bob Jackson, was in genial humor.
But the man who was feeling best of all was
Soviet Prosecutor Andrei Vishinsky, the man who
handled Stalin's pre-war purge. As the conversa-
tion warmed up, so did Soviet Prosecutor Vish-
insky. Finally, Vishinsky arose and said:'
"I propose a toast to the Nuernberg trial which
gets under way tomorrow."
The others rose to join him in the toast, lifting
their glasses.
Vishinsky then continued: "To the graves
of the defendants!"
His horrified fellow-prosecutors, mindful of
Anglo-Saxon justice which doesn't pre-con-
demn a defendant, refused to join.
DangerousT rips
HARRY TRUMAN'S TRIP home still is big
conversation among the old-timers of Inde-
pendence, Mo., who stay up late in the drug
stores and gather around the stoves in the gaso-
line stations. And even though his pilot, Lieut.
Col. Henry T. Myers, said it was just another
routine flight to get the President home to be
with his family on Christmas Day, the folks in
Independence think they know danger when they
see it.
No one to date has tried to tell them that
Harry's motor-car trips over Jackson County's
icy conditions on the roads began breaking up.
of his trips to Grandview, Mo., to visit his
mother, Mrs. Martha E. Truman, were made
over highways described by the Missouri State
highway patrol as passable but unsafe for
travel, It wasn't until his final motor-car ride
to Fairfax airport in Kansas City, Kan., that
icy conditions o nthe roads began breaking up.
And it was only a few minutes after his plane
left the airport in a dense fog that the Presi-
dential limousine driven by the assistant chief
of the Kansas City, Mo., Secret Service crashed
into a gasoline transport truck. The agent ad-
mitted it was his fault because he was unable
to stop the huge Lincoln on the slick pavement.
The incident could have happened anywhere
in the 20) mies the Presidet traveled on
Jackson County highways.
Pepper in Mosemt
WHILE IN MOSCOW recently Senator Claude
Pepper o fFlui ida w\v shown through the
subway by Soviet rade Commissar Mikhall
Mikoyan.
"We invited designs and bids for the engin-
eering contract from all over Europe," Makoyan
explained, "and the two most attractive pro-
posals came from London and Berlin."
"Were they very similar?" Pepper asked.
"The Berlin proposal was considerably less ex-
pensive, and looked very attractive; but finally
we accepted the Iondon bid."
When the florida Senator asked on what basis
the decision had been reached, Mikoyan ex-
plained: "The Berlin firm had proposed an ex-
tremely shallow excavation, while the London
engineers proposed a very deep tunnel-deeper
even than most of the London tubes. The Ger-
mans were very insistent about the advantages
of building close to the surface.
"But we were very grateful that we accepted
the British pians, for in 1941 the subway tunnel
sheltered hundreds of thousands of people in
Moscow while Nazi bombers tried to blast the
city apart. We sKiall always be grateful to those
British enginee ,ysy"

SPECIAL PERIODS
, I
NOT MORE than one book a year can be
classed as an event. Today Sylvia Lombroso's
"No Time For Silence" can be classed with the
Japanese Emperors renunciation of divine or-
igin as two inpre: sive events. "It (the book)
was intended, first for my children, I hope it
now will be read by those who have measured
their Calvary and find, today, in their prodigious
reawakening a sacred sense of man's fraternity",
says the wife of the Criminologist.
Here is a report of great reconstructive qual-
ity. It carries the reader in feeling as well as
ideas, equates sin to few, sees ourselves as
victims cf an era's vices and commends our
persecutors to the Grod who alone is the great
arbitor. Only a Christian who is as scientific
as her illustrious partner in home life, study
and exile could write as she has written.
The other event impels us to question the
type of divinity we emulate in the west. Shinto-
isrn emulated power. In 'Three Bamboos" Rob-
ert Standish suggested that this concept was
learned over three generations of five families
educated in England, Germany and the United
States. Here we are one thousand four hundred
forty six years beyond the coming of Jesus, the
world's poetic friend and teacher, divided into
walled tribes: Lutherans, Calvinists, Catholics,
Baptists, Methodists, and Episcopalians.
The walls are creedal statements built stone
by stone years ago by able logicians for whom
ne Sylvia Lombroso availed to introduce Jesus
whose misson was to communicate man's bro-
therhoed in God. The walls stand even after
war has created a United Nations Organiza-
tion of fifty nations.
Creation of the U.N.O. dates the leveling of
walls of sovereignty, governmental. How shall we
level the walls, religions? Word has just arrived
that the United Lutheran Church, one of sev-
eral divisions, has joined the World Council of
Churches, which leaves only one of the larger
bodies of Christians outside the Council. By laws
of power we should now see a struggle for su-
premacy in Christianity between the Roman
world church and the World Council of Church-
es. Yet Jesus, the founder specifically repudiated
power as a solution to man's problems. His was
an entirely difzerent solution. The very fact that
in governmental matters fifty nations have final-
ly so far repudiated absolute sovereignty that a
world organization can be introduced puts a
heavy challenge to all Christians.
The case is immediate and local as well as
remete and general. In the United States in
1945 certain bodies calling themselves "Evan-
gelical" prevented Unitarian Christians from
entering the Fereral Council of Churches and
in Ann Arbor, after fifteen years without
creedal distinctions in the Student Council,
the newly constituted Inter-Guild, by vote, de-
liberately excluded their Unitarian associates.
We hope our associates, the pastors concerned,
will read "No Time For Silence".
On the world scene it is Hinduism with its
Ahimsa, or respect for life, Zoroasteranism with
its worship of the Sun, Buddhism with its eight
commandments not unlike Judaism's ten, the
followers of Confucius' spirit of Li, plus Islam
in its worship of Oneness, and Christianity which
should be setting new patterns of peace, discov-
ering methods of orderly action and evolving
adventures in human government.
Oh Lord and Master of us all
What ere our name or sign;
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call;
We test our lives by Thine.
