E.: ALLEGRA PASQUALETTI -1 M Flying Saucers D URING THE PAST two weeks, one crazy report after another has kept this "fly- ing saucer" business alive, much to the country's delight. For a while I believed, but now I want to see evidence. The point of credibility was passed early this week when one Michigan resident claimed he saw a saucer "with a little man sitting on it, steering." Scientists scoffed at that. Now a few are timidly suggesting that the whole "mystery" is a hoax. However, the scientists themselves have helped to keep the fantasy alive by polite- ly commenting on various lay theories. For instance, two Chicago astronomers volun- teered the information that the discs are probabaly "man-made". An unnamed Cal- ifornia Institute of Technology scientist in nuclear physics suggested that the saucers might be the result of experiments in "transmutation of atomic energy". Dr. Oli- ver Lee, director of Northwestern Uni- versity's. Dearborn Observatory, soberly af- firmed that "the Army and Navy are work- ing on all sorts of things we know nothing about." Dr. Harold Urey, noted atomic physicist, on, the other hand, called the "transmuta- tion" theory "gibberish." Other interested observers, searching the .... skues have reported all kinds of flying discs That's the point. No two people have been able to agree about what the discs look like. Some of them have been reported with tails, some as large as washtubs, some 18" in diameter and some made of a transpar- ent substance. There must be several spe- cies then, like buttercups. The only authenticated "flying sucer" ob- served so fare was reportd by a Ohio wom- an who threw one at her husband. This is the biggest hoax since "invasion" from Mars.- -Fred Schott Bike Ordinance HE STUDENT LEGISLATURE last week passed an ordinance prohibiting the rid- ing of bicycles on campus. As yet, however, no action has been taken to enforce this ordinance, and bicycle riding has not de- creased. One of the lessons which those of us who were in the service soon learned was that if an officer gives an order which he does not enforce, or can not enforce, he will quickly lose respect. The Student Legislature should take this lesson to heart. Some action to enforce this ordinance should be taken immediately if the Legis- lature hopes to retain any influence on the campus. For if this ordinance is not en- forced, the Legislature can not expect any of 'its future activities to be regarded seri- ously. -Dave Wagner Foremen's Strike COLLAPSE of the 47-day-old foremen's strike against the Ford Motor Com- pany seems to mark the first direct appli- cation of the Taft-Hartley Act to a labor dispute. The new law withdrew the Wagner Act's recognition of foremen's unions, and the 3,800 strikers have now voted 10 to 1 to return to work. The strike fared poorly from the beginn- ing. The C.T.O. United Automobile Workers By SAMUEL GRAFTON tJP TO NOW, Mr. Truman has been hav- ing trouble on his foreign policy main- ly with the left wing in American life. But there's a change coming. As his policy veers over toward the direction of aid to all of Europe, rather than just guns for Greece and Turkey, the President is going to come into conflict. with the right wing. There is a fatal symmetry at work here. In place of the Wallace meetings, we are now going into an era of low moans from the Republicans. There will also be (I hope I don't sound cynical) a certain switching of argument. When the issue was the arming of Greece and Turkey, the liberals complained that we were too poor for such adventures and that we would bankrupt ourselves, while. the right contended that we were the great- est power on earth and had, a duty to keep the peace, even if that meant individual action. Now that the issue is world re- construction, the liberals will find that we have money enough, while it is the right which will suddenly plead national poverty,. and will piteously display thin wrists and famished cheeks in the Washington sun. But this traffic in debaters' points can not obscure the fact that there is a real change in the basis of our foreign policy. It even sounds different. One remembers the high, nervous squealings with which the Truman Doctrine was defended. In con- trast, Secretary Marshall's warm defense of our policy of economic aid to all co- operating nations seemed very bariton, very. It was an unnervous, up-from-the-ankles wallop, with a wonderful lack of apology in it, and no need for any, as Mr. Marshall held up our offer of aid to the world, and showed that there were no strings on it, Perhaps the liberals are right in feeling that we do have enough money for such pur- poses; there are times in this anxious world when it is worth spending a couple of bill- ions just to be able to make one speech like that. But now we come back to the question of how American conservatism will react to the new policy. Time Magazine, last week, polling the European man-in-the-street, found him, in more than one case, wonder- ing realistically ,how much of American opinion there was behind Secretary Mar- shall And we must remember that Mr. Herbert Hoover's recent long essay on for- eign relief was more of an argument for keeping it down than for increasing it. American conservatism seems, at the moment, primarily interested in short- range objectives. It showed that when it put the new rent increase bill over, while vigorously giving lip-service to the need for lower prices. It just couldn't resist.. One wonders whether a conservatism pitched at this level will be able to stand for the deprivations implicit in the Mar- shall Plan, the export of articles we could perhaps use here, and the possible implied postponement of tax reductions. One has a "no" feeling about all this, a feeling that tax reduction will look bigger to American conservatism than Europe and two planets thrown in. One wonders, too, whether the first con- servative who publicly scorns the Marshall Plan and demands that we save our money will be hounded as Henry Wallace was re- cently hounded, and denounced, as he was denounced, for upsetting the foreign policy of the land and for causing foreign peoples to have doubts about our steadiness of pur- pose. The tune is changing, friends; choose your partners for the next set.

This is her very first batch of ice cubes and she's afraid they won't turn out well." DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ON WORLD AFFAIRS: Our Russian Poli*cy - By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER T IS EVIDENT that American policy makers are facing the real problem of forming a policy toward the Soviet Union. Such a policy has been in the making ever since 1943 when it became evident that Russia would insist upon the partition of our ally, Poland, as its pound 'of flesh. To convince the American Congress and people, a policy must be intelligible, not too complicated and consistent. It can- not be mere subtle diplomacy. For the American people do not believe in subtle diplomacy and they will not back their rep- resentatives in carrying it out. The Truman Doctrine is indeed the foun- dation for a policy-one that makes sense to Americans. The Marshall plan for Euro- pean rehabilitation (whose existence State Department officials frantically deny) was a splendid first concrete step in putting such a policy into effect-if carried out. But meanwhile things are happening. The Soviet union goes on tightening its claws around countries like Hungary. The re- sentment ofndecent Americans rises ever higher. It is therefore time that the Administra-! tion announced a definite policy, not towar~d the world, or toward Europe but toward the Soviet Union. What can such a policy look like? In my judgment, there are several pos- sible attitudes. One is that of "trusting Russia"-advo- cated by the people like Henry Wallace and Claude Pepper. The United States should disarm unilaterally, offer Russia a big loan for reconstrgetion and the atomic bomb for reassurance-and hope for the best. A second is that of a "long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Rus- sian expansive tendencies . . " "Cool and collected," U.S. demands "should be put forward in such a manner as to leave the way open for a compliance not too detri- mental to Russian prestige." This view, ably expressed by X in the current number of Foreign Affairs Quar- terly, admits that the Soviet Union is and will remain an opponent of the United States maintaining "a cautious, persistent pressure toward the disruption and weak- ening of all rival influence and power." The same view-roughly-is expressed by Harold N. Groves of the North American Newspaper Alliance. Offering a "Summary of opinion of the best informed and most objective quarters open to him" in Wash- ington, Mr. Groves states that we "must contain the Russians in an unprovocative way and confront them with superior strength whenever they attempt to erupt from their present sphere of influence." A third policy would be to "force a show- down" with the Soviet at the earliest op- portunity. An occasion could be found in the discussion over atomic control that is almost bound to occur at the next Assem- bly of the United Nations. Or it could oc- cur over Germany at the London meeting of the Foreign Ministers next November. Unless Russia climbed down at that time and accepted our views, we should thence- forth oppose Russia actively in every part of the world Since Russian fifth columns are everywhere active, this would amount to widening the Truman Doctrine still more apd applying it everywhere. It would mean definite diplomatic and economic efforts it is negative. It ignores the fact that Rus- sia's real strength lies in its fifth columns in ;very country which the said policy would not eliminate. Moreover, it entails a par- tial retreat to some sort of hemispheric isolation and ultimately an atomic arma- ment race and a war in which the U.S. might lose its basic liberties. ' Policy 3--the tough line-also promises an armament race and an ultimate war un- less we could bluff the Russians out of them. Policy 4 alone would give a reasonable chance of peace--but it is still the idea of a minority (There is of course a fifth possible pol- icy of doing nothing and muddling into trouble.) (Copyright 1947, Press Alliance, Inc.) COAL MINE operators must have short memories. Already they must have for- gotten the deaths of those 111 men in Cen- tralia No. 5. Else how could they be fighting tooth and nail against the enactment of a not too adequate federal safety code? They are voicing their opposition before a special senate committee which investi- gated the Centralia disaster and which has before it two bills-one introduced by Re- publican Senator Butler of Nebraska call- in for a one-year extension of the safety provision incorporated in the Krug-Lewis agreement which expires next week, and the other by Democratic Senator Kilgore of West Virginia calling for an indefinite ex- tension of those safety provisions. Although the Illinois disaster clearly showed that federal mirle inspectors do not have enough authority to prevent such trag- edies, the mine owners are clamoring that the continuation of the present code would give the government unwarranted "political" powers. This is nonsense. It is dangerous nonsense which places profit ahead of hu- man lives. If anything, the Federal Bureau of Mines and its representatives should be given specific authority to close a mine in case of imminent danger, rather than of merely turning in a report which the opera- tors may ignore. And if politics entered the Centralia story, it certainly was at the state level. It was the Green G.O.P. machine which sought to use state inspectors as lug collectors. There is nothing partisan about safety in the mines. This is indicated by the fact that a Republican and a Democratic senator are sponsoring the same safety regulations. If the owners cannot see that in their hazardous industry adequate safety meas- ures are paramount, the Senate committee members might read to them the pathetic letter in which some of the Centralia vic- tims had appealed to Governor Green to save their lives. If the committee- and sub- sequently the Congress-does not auhorize proper safety regulations, the legislators may find themselves in a position not un- like that of the Illinois politicians when the news came to them of the disaster in Mine No. 5. -St. Louis Star-Times Publication in The Daily Officiai Bulletin is constructive notice to all members of the University.

Indeed, the enthusiasm of the European re- sponse has surprised even those who helped Marshall to plan the policy. Yet while the news from abroad is more hopeful than the most sanguine expected, there are signs of real trouble ahead on the home front This fact was re- cently underlined by one of the most capable and best informed Senators, himself deeply convic- ed that the Marshall proposal is our last, best chance. "The State Department," he said, "is failing to protect its rear. If Bevin and Bidault and the Europeans came up with a first rate plan tomorrow, and Marshall asked for the necessary appropriations the day after, he'd be turned down flat by an over-~ whelming majority in both Hous- Nor is a flat, total rejection of the plan the only danger. That there is another, perhaps more pressing threat was dem- onstrated in a recent meeting of freshman Senators, organ- ized by able Senator Cabot Lodge, to discuss the whole problem of American aid to Europe. Present at this meet- ing, as a guest star, was Harold Stassen,, contender for the Re- publican presidentialenomina- ion. Stassen repeatedly ex- pressed the view, which lie has already put forward in speech- es, that countries applying for aid must abandon attempts at socialization before becoming eligible. The technique of terrorizing Congress, at the last minute, into doing what must be done, has been used before. It has been used so often that it can no longer be relied upon. Both in the State Department, and in the moreen- lightened and far-seeing quar- ters on Capitol Hill, the convic- tion that there must be a better way is gaining strength. One such way is now under dis- cussion at both ends of Pennsyl- vania Avenue. That is the ap- pointment of a high-ranking State Department official with a thoroughly competent staff, whose first and only duty would be to explain to Congress factually and in detail what American foreign policy is, and why. Such an of- ficial must have certain quali- fications. He must have rank: probably at least an assistant sec- retaryship. Otherwise most Con- gressmen, not unconscious of their own political rank, would remain unimpressed. He must have meal experience of foreign affairs, for he must be capable of making his case convincing. (Copyright 1047, N. V. Tribune Inc.)
