Wallace, former vice president, who has been touring Europe advocating appeasement of Soviet Russia and denouncing the proposed $400 million loan aid by the United States to Greece and Turkey to resist totalitarian aggression and seizure as American imperialism, is now advocating a $50 billion loan through the International bank, nf which Russia should tret one third, sort of a world-wide W.P.A -with Uncle Sam holding the sack. The United States public debt incurred by winning the war is over $300 billion, but apparently this does not phase Mr. Wallace. Nor does the fact that Russia has refused par ticipation in the world bank, the food and agricultural and other international groups, and is therefore not eligible for a loan. And Soviet Russia's refusal to live up to ncr iena lease and other agreements shows plainly where the United States would get off in playing the role of international Santa Claus. i World bank officials state that Russia could not possibly qualify for the $15 billion loan, even if she was a member of the bank. They point out tnat under me articles oi agree ment establishing the hank, the total of its outstanding loans at any one time cannot exceed the $8,000,000,000 capitaliza tion. Furthermore, they point out, the bank cannot make loans to non-member countries. Russia failed to take mem bership in the bank by the January 31, 1047, deadline. But she still could join by making application and by approval of the board oi" governors which next meets in London in October. The bank has 44 member countries. By May 1, each must have put up 20 percent of its share of the $8,000,000,000 capital, including two percent in gold or dollars. The gold and dollar part of the initial capital will be about $725,000, 00056.15,000,000 of it from the United States. IntinI loans will be made out of this capital fund. Obvi ously, no early loans can be made to anyone in billion-dollar figures. Later the bank will try to raise additional funds by selling its own securities. This Wallace proposal is as crack-pot as his other proposals, such as providing a quart ot milk tor every cluld in tne world, and must make the hard-boiled Bolsheviks laugh at its absurdity. r " """"""" ------,, I Life's Little Tragedies 1 ...,r.....

I By DeWitt MacKenzIe (AP Foreign Affairs Analyst) Former Vice President Wal lace has produced a heavy crop of question marks and exclama tion points by his declaration in Paris that Soviet Russia should get 10 to 17 billion dollars worth of goods and services under a ou billion dollar world con struction program which should be financed mainly by the Unit ed States through the United Nations. Any such program would be the height of inconguity to those vho agree with the Washington administration's policy of aid ing weak nations to stand off communist aggression. If both plans were in operation simul taneously we should have the weird spectacle of America sinking billions to restore Rus sia's war potential and at the same time expending other vast sums to combat a communistic offensive on the grounds that it might lead to another World war, Search on for Missing Youth Roseburg, Ore., April 24 (Pi A three-state search for a missing 16-y e a r-old Seattle schoolboy was underway today after the arrest here of John William Huson, 27, driving an automobile the boy had borrow ed from his grandfather in Ta-coma. Huson, held in jail under $100(1 bond on a charge of pos- secretary of commerce also stated in Paris yesterday that me united States would face the gravest business depression history unless it took the lead in world economic recon struction. He predicted that this will be one of the most serious depressions the United States ever has had, a most amazing phenomenon which will affect the whole world." So far as concerns Russia's huge losses in life and resources during the World war. they nave aroused the keenest sym pathy throughout America Of course, Wallace's proposal Uncle Sam has rendered aid to The most remarkable and larg- Lawmaking Made Easy A "Mistake" Veto President Truman's first veto of the 80th congress is admitted as a mistake by the White House, which announces that it will be "rectified" but the method for doing it has not been determinted. Who made the mistake has not been announced. The veto was on a bill to permit Former Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana to serve as special counsel for the senate war investigating committee and at the same time continue the private practice of law before government agencies. Wheeler was retained by the committee to investi gate navy purchases of Arabian oil. The choice before senate leaders was whether to pass the bill again so Mr. Truman could sign it, or to override the veto. Indications were that the decision would be in favor of the former, although some republicans hinted they might insist on a move to override. White House and justice department, officials consulted with senators on how best to undo the damage, but the de cision belonged to congress. Once a veto has been transmit ted, it cannot be withdrawn. There was no immediate ex planation of how the mistake happened. It was pointed out, however, that bills of a routine nature often are read by presidential aides who recommend to the president whether to sign or veto. In the veto message, the president said he objected to the bill because it "might be interpreted as granting authority to the committee counsel to initiate civil or criminal pro ceedings on behalf of the United States." As soon as the message had been read, Senators Brewster and Hatch told the senate the veto was the result of a "mis understanding," its basis was "clearly erroneous" and said White House officials agreed. Brewster said Mr. Truman previously had signed an iden tical measure for the employment of special lawyers by the Pearl Harbor investigating committee. He recalled also that Mr. Truman himself sponsored the same type of bill when he was chairman of the war investigating commtitee during his senate days. Wheeler, a close friend of the presi dent, had made a White House visit Tuesday and had re ceived no indication then- that the bill would be vetoed. Small-pox Epidemic Averted The city of New York has successfully averted a threat ened epidemic of small-pox, despite a temporary shortage of vaccine, whicn delayed the three weeks program of immun ization. Some details of the drive reveal its immensity. Over 500, 000 New Yorkers were vaccinated a day in the 250 free public clinics established, and in 85 police stations. Some precincts had long queues formed around the blocks. Private phy sicians have in addition given half of the vaccinations. Manufacturers delivered 200,000 single units a day to drug stores. The physicians charged the regular fee, but vaccin ations at health department clinics, hospitals and police sta tions was free, and volunteer physicians assisting were paid by the city. The total cost to the city of the effort to protect the 7,500, 000 New Yorkers is estimated at $850,000. est array of exhibits ever staged by 4-H club boys and girls here is on display at the Chamber of Commerce to be open until 9 o'clock tonight and until o'clock Friday afternoon with a number of big side events like the parade Friday morning and doings at the high school audi lorium Friday afternoon, as well as demonstrations and various contests. Development of the 4-H club movement in Marion county has been remarkable over the years and the results are well worth looking over especially by anyone who thinks that nothing but juvenile delinquency grips the young generation just com ing on. The country can stand a whale of a lot of this sort of juvenile delinquency Engineers Open Detroit Dam Bids rorlland, April 24 (Pi Bids for housing and dainsite city works at the North Santiam river site of the Detroit dam were opened yesterday by the district army engineers.

If the gentle man had attended some of the hearings and understood some of the American language used and written into the bill and if he had given us some helpful sug gestions instead of sitting there and voting "present" when he came out of a doze, then he would have more knowledge about this situation. Those gen tlemen who were there and slept through most of the pro ceedings answered when the roll was called either "no" or "pres ent should not now here be weeping and wailing. Sometimes they were physically present but not mentally present at the hearings. Pickets at the telephone com pany parked in automobiles with their signs posted nearby made it look like a sitdown strike against picketing. Like Our City Bus Question South Royalton, Vt.

The former vice president would give aid to Russia, and to other war stricken countries, including Greece, As a matter of fact there wouldn't be any incongruity in thus assisting Russia if she gave a satisfactory quid pro quo. The quid pro quo obviously would have to be that Moscow would halt such world-wide activities as have given rise to the Greco- Turkish situation. It has been the western world's dislike of and fear of commu nism which has so often damp ened international relations since the Soviet government was established. It wasn't until 1033 that Washington recog nized the Soviet Union, and then promise was exacted from Moscow that it shouldn't inspire any further communistic activi ties in America. But things have changed mightily since then. As matter now stands, U. S. Assistant Secretary of State William Benton yesterday declared that Russia spends more for propaganda than the other big powers combined In advocating the huge aid for Russia, Mr. Wallace makes the proviso that Moscow should be required to forego her heavy reparations demands on Uer- any and to become a member of the International bank. He adds: The world cannot afford to allow reparations claims to shift from devastated Russia to tier many the misery and depriva tion that create in Europe a danger spot.1 The former vice president and our ally, and done so gladly And you can bet your last dol lar that he would go all out in giving further assistance to Rus sia if she would announce that she finally had reached the end of her colossal program of ex-i panding her zones of influence, and agree to remove her political pressure from other countries. sessing a stolen automobile, was quoted by Police Chief O.
