Three Republicans
Given Places on
ion
By Lyle C. Wilson
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington. Feb. 14 UP) Ex
pected republican acceptance of
joint political responsibility for
the April 25 United Nations con
ference would speed the pro
posed post-war antl-aggresslon
treaty toward ratification.
But there was a shadow on the
bright prospect. Sen. Arthur H.
Vandenberg, R., Mich., refused to
say whether he would accept
membership on the United States
delegation to the treaty-making
conference.
Three republicans were among
the eight persons named yester
day to represent the United States
in San Francisco. They were van
denberg, a member of the senate
foreign relations committee; Kep.
Charles A. Eaton of New Jersey,
senior minority member of the
house foreign affairs committee,
and Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen, the
37-year-old political fireball from
Minnesota.
'No Comment'
Vandenberg firmly said no
comment" when asked whether
he would accept delegation mem
bership. It is believed he will ac
cept, but the senator is under
stood to feel that the administra
tion should discuss with party
leaders the matter of selection
of republicans to represent the
G.O.P. There also is the political
actor of the Polish dispute.
The broad outlines of the, Anglo-Russian-American
plans for
world' stability evidently appeal I
to vandenberg. But ne nas not
endorsed the partition of Poland
nor, especially, the apparent as
signment of the cities of Vllna
and Lwow to the Soviet Union.
There will be bitter objection by
many persons of Polish extrac
tion in the United States. Many
of them live and vote in vanden
berg's state of Michigan.
Membership on the American
' delegation probably would re
quire direct or Indirect approval
of allotment' of Die-war eastern
Poland to the Soviet Union.
Is Key Figure
-. Vandenberg is the key. figure
among the three republicans. If
he balked, the momentum for
early antl-aggresslon treaty ac
tion would diminish considerably.
Announcement of the delega
tion personnel, with Secretary of
State Edward R. Stcttinlus. Jr..
as chairman, followed within 24
hours the release of news that
the big three in the Crimea.had
agreed on the pattern of the post
war world.
- Members of congress, with as
tonishingly few exceptions, still
were speaking well If sometimes
sautimmlv of thp nrnprnm whpn
the San Francisco conference del
egation was announced.
Unlike Woodrow Wilson, who
went alone to Versailles in 1919,
Mr. Roosevelt is Inviting individ
uals among his political opposi
tion to help write the peace bond
that he must ask the senate to
sign.

Old Age Pension
Change Opposed
Salem, "Ore., Feb. 14 IP Oppo
sition to Gov. Earl Snell's plan to
transfer the old age assistance
fund to a general fund appropria
tion basis from its present depend
ency on the liquor revenues of the
state was evident today after a
hearing on the bill (HB 47) last
night.
Proponents of the bill were
largely concerned with the onus
of accepting "tainted money" from
liquor revenues, although there
was a suggestion made by H. H.
Wilcox, Townsend representative,
that liquor interests were oppos
ing the bill for fear that the
state's "oldsters" would back pro
hibition measures u tney were no
longer dependent on liquor
money.
Cliff Leigh, director of educa
tion for the Old Age Beneficiaries
Inc., Portland, said that a proper
study of the effects had not been
made on the bill.
Fear Expressed
'We don't care where the
money comes from," he said. "We
merely want competent adminis
tration."
Some fear was expressed that if
the old age money were to come
from the general fund there
would be difficulty , In getting
biennial appropriations, and also
raising the amounts due to the'
present six per cent limitation.
- No opposition to HB's 52 and 57
was evident at the meeting. They
are the bills which would respec
tively eliminate tne $4U ceiling on
the amount payable monthly to
beneficiaries, and raise it to $60.
Several persons spoke favoring
the complete freeing of the
amount from limitations, and
"giving the old folks what Is com
ing to them."

to alleviate acute financial prob
lems of Oregon school districts,
headed by HB 123 to appropriate

posed school equalization fund

the districts; $500,000 for school
transportation, and $90,000 for dis

Washington, Feb. J4 (IH Stick
close (you, too, Sen. Thomas) and
we'll have a discussion of briga
dier generals, hound dawgs, and
naivete. Particularly of naivete,
, Now there's a word for you. I
mean you, Sen. Thomas. Here's
where you're going to learn some
thing: The boys in the senate had up
the nomination of Elliott Roose
velt to be a brigadier general and
pretty soon the argument got so
hot it was hard deciding whether
Elliott was being promoted, or nls
doe. Blaze.
Sen. Harlan W. Bushfield of
South Dakota said there were
nearly 10,000 active colonels in
the army, mostly sore about El
liott. "But their lips are sealed," he
said. "Mine are not."
They weren't, either. He said be
ing a brigadier general was not
like managing the hosiery counter
in a department store. He said
the 34-year-old son of the presi
dent had bad eyesight, that he
never had achieved a pilot's rating
in the army air force, and that
he'd brought dishonor upon him
self in le affaire Blaze.
"Giving this bull dog an A pri
ority to the Pacific coast was ,"
he began.
"It wasn't a bulldog; it was a
mastiff," interrupted Sen. Charles
W. Tobey of New Hampshire.
"Well, it weighed 110 pounds,"
said Sen. Bushfield.
"One hundred and thirty
pounds," amended Sen. Tobey.
"It was not right," continued
Sen. Bushfield. "A Col. Ireland
took the rap for giving this dog
the priority. Now this Col. Ire
land mysteriously left the coun
try after this thing happened."
Sen. Elbert C. Thomas of Utah,
chairman of the military affairs
committee and the man who's go
ing to learn about naivete in a
minute, rose in defense of Elliott.
. "Does the distinguished chair
man imply that Elliott is so bril
liant he should be promoted above
the 10,000 other colonels?" de-:
manded Bushfield.
"He is very, very worthy," said
the egg-bald and dignified Thom-I
as, a leading educator and holder! .
of such degrees as A.B., L.L.D.,
and L.I.T.T. D. He defended E1-;
liott at length as a soldier and
iigmuig man. xie saia the army
had promoted young Roosevelt
upon his merits. He read the cita
tions to prove
Sen. Clyde M. Reed of Kansas
jumped up then to ask: "Is the
senator from Utah naive enough
to belief that anybody in the ar
my, all the way up to the chief oi
staff, would even think of remov
ing from the list the name of the
president's son?"
"That word, naive," replied Sen
Thomas, long-time professor 0
political science at Utah univer.
sity, "I don't know what it means"
Sen. Reed bowed elaborately
and said that the senator Iron
Utah certainly should be able t
recognize a little word like that I
sen. i nomas said ne was sorrvj
but he didn't understand it. 5
uiuous nomination was con
firmed, with only 11 senators vot
ing no. All 11 were republicans
That's that and I don't think weli
be hearing much more about
Blaze, unless he takes a bite ol
Faye Emerson. The only thing left
is that word, naive.
Webster says, Sen. Thomas,
that it means artless,, or unsophis
ticated.' Kind of a polite way of ac
cusing somebody of being a little
dumb, or maybe slightly dopey.
All right, professor?

G. O.P. presidential nominee, Stas
sen is not loved by all his fellow
party leaders. He went far beyond
most republicans for full United
States participation in world af
fairs. Stassen appointed Sen. Joseph
H. Ball, R., Minn., to the senate.
Ball in turn managed the com
mander's 1944 campaign for the
republican presidential nomina
tion, but finally bolted the G.O.P.
ticket last autumn. Stassen is
smeared with that bolt. But he
undoubtedly has a considerable

1W 'em up"
Like
Ice an eager dog on a leash, the train waits
at the station impatient to start its long trans
continental run. The carman swings his lantern
from side to side above his head. There's a
swish of air as the engineer sees the signal to
"set 'em up." That's railroad language mean
ing "test air brakes". . . one of the many Union
Pacific safety operations.
Over its "strategic middle route," uniting the
East with the Pacific Coast, Union Pacific trans
ports thousands of service men and women.
Carloads of materials and supplies are shipped,
east and west, to home-front markets and ocean
ports. Ifs a tremendous job but despite the
problems of manpower and maintenance it is
being accomplished with remarkable efficiency.
By putting the brakes on unwise personal
spending, by buying war bonds and saving
them, we can help guard against depression,
keep the wheels of industry running, and the
avenues of opportunity open for individual en
terprise and initiative.
