Organization Of World For Peace Without War Belief Voiced By President Truman ' By ERNEST Bi VACOARO CHIQASO, July 20 ( AP ) President Truman said yester eley that "tensions and conflicts appear to be increasing" in areas controlled by communist tyranny. He,said he is optimistic the world may yet be organized tor peace without a war. Communism may have 'temporary triumphs," Mr. Truman said, "but in the long run it must either destroy Itself or abandon its attempt to force other nations into its pattern." Mr. lTuman new Mere to ao dress the Diamond jubilee Shrine convocation) and made it an oc casion for a major speech on for eign policy. He pledged this nation to con tinue its "great crusade for feace"., with action along . two ines: .. 1. Maintaining a strong and stable American economy "as the primary source of strength of the , free world." He said "we must make all our plans, private and public, in such a way as to give us more jobs and more out put." 2. Take steps to "Insure that the hard-won economic recovery of other free nations does not re vert to stagnation and despair." "One of the most foolish things we could do right now," Mr. Tru man said, "would be to slash our appropriations for European recovery- If we did that, we would be deliberately throwing away gains for peace and freedom that we have painfully made. Only the communists would profit if we took such a short-s i g h t c d course." Mr. , Truman's - address was broadcast by major networks and was short-waved around the world.

Faith Stronger Than Foroe On the possibility of war, the president said: ,-4 "Some people would have us believe that war is inevitable be tween the nations which are de voted to our concept of interna tional "organization and the con cept which now bears the name of communism. This is not the case. " "I am optimistic as I look to- House, Commercial and Industrial Wiring " Electrical Trouble Shooting Motor and Appliance Re . , pair ',.

"In the battle for men's minds, our faith is more appealing, more dynamic, and stronger than any totalitarian force. The world longs for the kind of tolerance and mutual adjustment which is represented by democratic prin ciples." The President said that those "who rule by arbitrary power" in other nations do not under stand the slow processes . by which United States foreign pol icy is formed and do not realize "the strength" behind it.

That was true of the decision to back the United Nations and to launch the European recovery program, Mr. Truman said. He predicted the North Atlan tic Security alliance will be rat ified because, he said, it also has the support of the people. The Senate Is to vote Thursday on Xhis treaty linking the United states ana iree western Euro pean nations in an alliance. SNAKE IN THE GRASS LEWISTOWN, Nontana UP)-t-Norman said he had the shakes after this experience with a rattlesnake: Norman and Ted Langford were out trailing cattle in t h e Missouri brakes near here. They stopped for a rest and stretched out in the grass to cool off. A and when they looked up, there was a rattlesnake between them. Norman rolled out of the snake's range, but Langford froze and lay still. The rattler slithered up to Langford, looked him over and turned and went away. Protect Your Family with the B. M. A.

SECTION TWO Established 1873 ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1949 169-49 Other planks in the platform the congressman could support or oppose, as he wished. And he would likewise be a free agent in all lawmaking beyond the limits of his party's expressed program. His chief guides in that area would be his general political bent, his wisdom, his integrity and his special interests. This system would tend to bal ance political responsibility, and perhaps to make our parties more effective instruments for governing. Lawmaker Faces Woe In Attempting Middle Course In His Activities . By BRUCE BIOSSAT How much party regularity should an intelligent lawmaker In Congress be expected to demonstrate? If he goes down the line for his party 100 per cent, critics may refer to him contemptuously as a "rubber stamp." On the other hand, if he pursues a wholly Independent course he opens himself to charges of party disloyalty. N Is there any middle path that might permit him to recognize the realities of politics and still show some free-thinking states manship? : It Is the fashion in some cir cles to dismiss party programs and platforms as worthless. Un doubtedly they have been on many occasions. But that does not mean they always are or should be. When the people elect a Presi dent or a Congress, they are voting for some sort of program, even if only vaguely. True, they often seem to pick a President because they trust him as a man, but implicit in such a choice is a. belief he will produce a satis- lactory program. Political parties developed not merely to give the people a choice among men but clear alternatives in national policy. If a party means anything, it must be de voted to the attempt to carry out the policies it stands for. Therefore, it seems entirely fit ting that a definite measure of party regularity should be re quired of a lawmaker. How else can a President or a group of party leaders translate programs into law? To achieve results party chief tains naturally need a working majority in Congress. A Presi dent is stymied if the opposition holds the edge. The opposition then will try to enact its own program over his objections. But it a fresiaent aoes nave party numbers in his favor he can enact his policies so long as his party members in Congress remain loyal. As we have sug gested, the question is how much loyalty they should offer. The best plan we nave seen for drawing the line, on party regularity is this: Let a party caucus decide what five or six proposals are crucial to the execution of its program. The leaders then would indicate that these "must items and these alone were to be regarded as a test of party loyalty. Failure to support them would place a lawmaker in peril of los ing patronage and other party favors. Extra Millions Slashed From Military Items WASHINGTON, July 20 OF) Economy-minded senators had a pleasant $108,000,000 surprise Monday. They learned from clerks of the senate appropriations committee they had slashed military spend ing for this year by $1,118,000,000 below the $15,908,000 previously voted by the house. Senator Elmer Thomas (D. Okla.), who led the economy ef fort, first announced the cutback as $1,010,000,000 on a basis of a quick computation by these same clerks. The extra $108,000,000 was dis covered over the weekend after hours of checking the hundreds of individual army, navy and air force items voted by the senate group against identical house items.
