U. S. Maintaining
Hands-Off Policy
In Philippines
By Ralph Tcntnorlh

' Manlln ill-The United States
is observing a Jittery handsoff
pulley In the Philippine presiden
tial election this year.
American officials here and in
WashlnRton have expressed con
cern that their normal efforts to
restore this war-shattered coun
try may be misinterpreted. They
fear it may be taken as endorse
ment of the present Philippine
administration, or that the Fili
pino campaigners may try to give
the impression that the United
States has a preference of candi
dates. Myron M. Cowen, U.S. ambas
sador, has emphasized several
times, both publicly and private
ly, that the United States is strict
ly neutral as far as the outcome
of the November 8 election is con
cerned. This will be. the first presi
dential election since the Philip
pine republic gained its independ
ence from the United States on
July 4. 1946. Since then, certain
Filipinos have charged from plat
forms and in print that the moth
' er country has tried to interfere
in the affairs of its offspring re
public. Avoid Suspicion
Such charges were made more
frequently at first than in the
last year or two. American offi
cials wish to avoid, above all,
the suspicion of hand-picking the
presidential candidate.
As far as many Americans are
concerned, the main issue in the
November elections is that of
collaboration. Th a t, however,
appears to be a minor issue as to
the Filipinos themselves, since all
those who served the government
Turing the Japanese occupation
JT were forgiven officially more
than a year ago.
The candidates for president
are President Elpidio Quirino,
who was elevated from the vice
presidency when Manuel A. Rox
as died in office in April, 1948:
Jose P. Laurel, who was presi
- dent during the Japanese occu
pation, and Jose Avelino, an oust
ed senator who split the majority
liberal parly into Quirino and
Avelino wings to run for the high
office.
Courtesy Extended
President .Quirino caused be
hind - the - scenes American con
sternation when he visited Wash
ington, New York, Los Angeles
and San Francisco in August. As
president of a friendly republic,
he was entitled to, and received,
every courtesy it was possible to
give him.
But as a candidate for re-election,
American officials were
careful not to go beyond a warm
welcome. They reasoned that any
thing more than that, especially
the announcement at that time
of material aid to the Philippines
by the United States, could be
interpreted by Filipinos as giving
a nod of approval to Quirino's
candidacy.
STORM MISSES OREGON .

storm, spinning out of the Alas
kan gulf, had sidestepped the Pa

Instead of forecast rain, sunny

Congress Heads Into Home
Stretch; "Must" Bills Left
Washington. Sept. 19 UP Con
gress headed into the home
stretch today with administra
tion leaders determined to push
for action on a half dozen "must"
bills.
But there appeared to be little
chance that the major part of
President Truman's legislative
program would be acted on be
tween now and the session's end.
expected about mid-October
Democratic leaders were resigned
to postponing until the second
session of the 81st congress such
controversial proposals as the
Taft-Hartley repealer, compulsory
health insurance and federal aid
to education.
With house members scheduled
to return to their jobs Wednes
day after a month's vacation, con
gressional leaders line up these
"must" items for action arms
aid, measures to raise the pay of
the armed forces and some civil
ian employes of the federal gov
ernment, liberalized displaced per
sons legislation, and a farm price
support bill. There was talk, too,
that the administration would try
to push through one of the presi
dent's civil rights proposals.

Congress also must complete
action on the minimum wage bill
Hawaii Strikers
Voice Threats
Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 19 IP)
The striking CIO longshoremen's
union warned today there would
be "trouble" if the Matson Navi
gation company tries to sail the
passenger liner Lurline to the
Pacific coast with an AFL crew.
Union strategist Henry Schmidt
said there were "several indica
tions" Matson was preparing to
sail the Lurline. But he predicted
that Matson would send the liner
to the east coast to avoid a Pa
cific coast maritime tieup.
Union leaders reported Matson
was bringing in AFL sailors to
man its strikebound fleet.
Meanwhile, the union planned
to wind up today its federal court
case against the Hawaiian gov
ernment's stevedoring operations.
The court granted an extension
of a restraining order for 10 days.
The order banned enforcement
of the anti-picketing provisions
of the dock seizure laws and pro
hibited distribution of profits
from the stevedoring operations
to the privately-owned stevedor
ing companies.
and on appropriations measures
carrying more than &20.000.000,
000. These are now in senate
house conferences for adjustment
of differences.
Heading the senate's agenda is
the $1,134,010,000 arms aid bill
to free nations. Debate on the
arms aid bill was scheduled to
get underway today. Administra
tion leaders expected approval by
the week end.
But a major fight was in the
offing over a move by economy
advocates to slash the program
by 5700,000,000.
In other congressional develop
ments: DEP's Sen. Hubert H. Hum
phrey. D., Minn., appealed to both
democrats and republicans in the
senate to get behind a move for
immediate action on liberalized
displaced persons legislation.
Communism Sen. Glen H. Tav
lor said the United Stales should
n't worry so much about a com
munist attack "Our freedom." he
said in a radio address, "is en
dangered by resurgent fascism
more than it is menaced by the
prospect of any military assault
from communism."
Gas Sen. Burnet R. Maybank.
D., S.C., said the oil industry
made a mistake recently in boost
ing fuel and heating oil prices in
an effort to reduce the "spread"
between prices of those items and
gasoline. "The patriotic way" to

jni-khammers, these men working high on the sheer rock face of a
canyon wall might be mistaken for mountain climbers. But the
scene is Hungry Horse, Mont., site of what will soon become the
world's fourth largest concrete dam, ncross the Flathead River.
These jackhammcrmen are drilling holes to prepare for blasting the
canyon wall down to the solid bedrock that will support the dam.
So steep is the wall that two men are required on each iackhammer.
