Revival of 'Go It Alone' Spirit Said Evident in American Politics By LYLE C. WILSON Uniltd Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Putting one and one together to make two. there is more than a touch of isolation in current Ameri can poll tical trends. It is not the old time relig 1 o n isolation ism of the 1920s. Then the United States was spurning the League of Nations and trying to collect the war debts of 1917-18 But, the trend is evident. If it continues it will considerably reshape the foreign policies of the United States as they were developed during the Truman administration and carried on without amendment by Presi dent Eisenhower. A dispatch to the London (England ) Daily Telegraph writ ten by its chief Washington cor respondent, Denys Smith, was printed under this headline: Revival of "Go-Ii-Alone" Spirit in U.S. Congress Smith is a veteran of 30 years of Washington reporting. His paragraphs summed up what is happening, as follows: "There is a somewhat disturb ing common factor in the simul taneous congressional drives to reduce military foreign aid and to increase Air Force appropria tions for long-range jet bombers. "It is that Congress is showing a preference lor a reliance on the United States' own military strength, rather than on the Western Alliance for its secur ity. It is in some respects evi dence of a 'Go-It-Alone' spirit." Smith made the point that after Gen. Curtis E. LeMay jolt ed Congress with his estimate Laughs of the Day . . . Chicago (U.R) Harry Owetis, 36, of Dallas, Tex., had a ready explanation when de tectives found his car loaded with a revolver, 100 bullets, a tear gas gun with three shells, 11 daggers, three switchblade knives and burglary tools. "My hobby is shooting," he safd, "and I throw daggers and knives to amuse myself." The tear gas gun? "I like to see peo ple cry." ' Palisades Park. N.J. (U.R) 'The Palisades Amusement Park said something went wrong with some of its electri cal controls and lit up the tun nel of love bright as day. When the trouble finally was corrected, the management gave free passes for another ride through the darkened tunnel for the couples whose romancing was interrupted. Montreal (U.R) Lucien Menard'jacked up his house and moved it half a mile to a new site in suburban Ville LeMoyne. Then he found that the lot was too small. Wallaceburg. Ont. (U.R) The Town Council installed new fans to make the fire house cooler, following com plaints by firemen that their own prespiration caused them to stick to the brass pole as they slid downstairs to an swer alarms. Chicago Demos, 34, e (U.R)-' .. Christ got too excited when the White Sox won a double header victory over the New York Yankees and it cost him $5 in court. Demos said the "excitement was just too much for me" and that's why he dash ed onto the field in the middle of the game and made a hook slide into second base. Machinists Strike Chile Copper Mine Santiago, Chile (U.R) A stroke by machinists in protest against the dismissal of two fel low workers halted operatioqs Tuesday at the Anaconda Cop pany's Chuquicamata mine. The two men' were fired last week for disobeying orders from their superiors. Chuquicamata is the world's biggest open copper mine. It em ploys some 5000 workers and produces more than 200,000 tons of processed copper annually. There appeared to be little prospect of an early settlement of the dispute. A company spokesman warned that if the tieup continued for more than three days the copper ore also would have to be stopped. Meanwhile a strike by more than 9000 employees of the Anglo-Chilean and Lautaro nitrate companies went into its fourth day. The nitrate workers walk ed out Saturday to enforce de mands for a 120 per cent wage increase.

High School Stadium Benefit YMCA -Camp that the Soviet Union was pro ducing long-range bombers fast er than the United States, Presi dent Eisenhower had to make a basic decision. It was whether to sliift all-out effort to home-based, long-range aircraft or to main tain a mixed air force of long range craft at home and me dium bombers based on foreign soil. Mr. Eisenhower chose the latter. That is the core of the dispute now raging between the White House and Congress over how much should be appropriated for foreign military aid and how much for the air force. The Eis enhower administration seems to be losing on both counts. The break-away from Truman-Eisenhower foreign policy has not yet changed the over-all collective defense picture. But it is a break-away, just the same, and the break largely has been among congressional Dem ocrats. The Democrats were more solidly for the . big-time foreign aid programs begun in the Truman administration than the Republicans ever were. And now they begin to balk. Iceland's vote to send the Americans home is contributing its bit to the new isolationist sentiment in the United States So does the news from Great Britain that defense spending to be considerably reduced. And the seeming inability of French-' nen to govern themselvts or to -ive wita tneir colonies is a factor.
