will forthwith face whatever cum
ulative opposition there united al
lies deem necessary to beat him to
his knees and to restore peace and
security.”
The Michigan Senator said that
“open conspiracies” have the
United States as their eventual
goal.” We are the final target,” he
said, "though other independent
peoples are in nearer jeopardy.”
He described the treaty as “the!
best available implement to dis
courage armed aggression and
thus to stop another war before it
starts.”
While the Senate w’as debating
the pact, there w’ere these other
devlopments elsewhere on Capitol
Hill:
Economic—The real danger to
the nation’s economy, said a man
ufacturer-turned-lawmaker, comes
from businessmen who may be
“frightening themselves into a re
cession.”
“Many of them,” said Senator
Flanders <R.-Vt.>, “are pursuing a
perfectly silly course by curtailing
their supply of goods and materi
als when there is no good reason
for doing so.”
He expressed hope that Presi
dent Truman, in his forthcoming
economic message to Congress,
will give the errant merchants “a
j darn good pep talk.”
Flanders, a member of the Sen
ate-House committee which will
study the President’s report, once
was chairman of the board of
Jones and Kanson Machine Co., in'
j Springfield. Vt.
Unification—Defeated in an ef
fort to put the national military!
establishment beyond President |
Truman’s reorganization reach,
Rep. Vinson <D.-Ga.» made plans
to try it again from another direc
tion.
Vinson, chairman of the House1
, armed services committee, said
yesterday he will try to tack an
amendment to the Senate-passed
i unification bill exempting the
! armed forces from the reorganiza
j tion law.
i Vinson tried to write such an
| exemption into the law itself, but
! the Senate turned that down.
The unification bill would give
the secretary of defense greater
control over policies and opera
tions of the military services. Vin
son said that’s all right, but “we
' want to make it so no man ever
can beomc a military dictator in
this country.”
Labor —Freshmen Democrats
j on the House labor committee said
that if the group doesn’t make a
fresh stab at repealing the labor
hated Taft-Hartley act “there will
I be real trouble.”
Those words were spoken by
Rep. Steed (D.Oklad, but he had
strong support from other commit
tee members.

j FIREWORKS STAND GOES
UP IN SMOKE
Nome has a pre-Fourth of July
i celebration on Saturday when the
fireworks stand of Vera Lonergan,
located next to Juniors Meat Mar
ket, was set off by a Mexican
sailor from the oil tanker. The fire
department was called out to put
out the fire which destroyed the
stand.
The Mexican, Rudolph Heran
dez, was fined by the city for be
1 ing drunk and disorderly and was
taken back on the ship.
It was reported that no charges
• were brought against the man by
Vera Lonergan, although she lost
a quantity of her 4th of July sup
plies.

the globe suffer in this modern
nge.
“Only a spirit like that of our |
great Declaration of Independence
can throw off chains and end these
grievances.”
Speeches by many of the na
tion’s top military men followed,
a similar line.
Lt. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith,
former Ambassador to Moscow, i
said that America’s growing mili
tary strength has halted commun
ist expansion in Europe at least
for the time being, bringing “hope
and renewed courage” to Western ,
Europe.
General Smith, now commander
of the First army, spoke at Wil- '
liamsburg, Va. Gen. Omar Brad
ley, army chief of staff, spoke at
Fort Leavenworth, Kans.
"The advantage has swung to I
our side . . . and the aggressor who
was once a friend is now on the
defense,” General Bradley said.
President Truman retu r n e d j
from a quiet three-dav cruise of'
Chesapeake Bay.
At Greenville, S. C., former sec-,
retary of state James F. Byrnes1
predicted Russia would follow a :
policy of rearmament and militar
ization in its part of occupied Ger
many.
He reiterated his stand against'
a ‘welfare state" and called on the
United States to be strong militar- j
ilv and economically.
Court Declares
Hiring Hall Illegal
NEW YORK </P>—'The operation
of hiring halls for job-hunting sea
m e n — a long-time, jealously
guarded tradition of the CIO na
tional maritime union—has been
declared illegal at Great Lakes
ports.
The U. S. court of appeals yes
terday upheld a finding of the Na
tional Labor Relations Board that,
the halls discriminated against
non-union seamen in violation of
the Taft-Hartley law.
Under union hiring hall proced
ure, job hunters must register
with the union. They are then as
signed to ship jobs by rotation.
The court did not rule on whe
ther all hiring halls are illegal un
der the Taft-Hartley law. How
ever, the NLRB was epected to
seek to apply the ruling to hiring
halls at all ports, for both long
shoremen and seamen.
