NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Ala Prurth Averue Blde., Jeattle, Wash ska Newspa, HARD TO CREDIT Unofficial reports coming from Washington that President Truman to send the Congress a $37,000,000,600 budget calculated to make Republican hackles rise The objective various Republican members of Congress has been a 1948 budget with maximum expenditures of $30,000,000,000 and the same dispatch that told of the President’s reported plan stated the Repubican chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Taber of New York, had voiced his view that the needs of government can be met with about $29,500,000,000. The thirty billion doliar estimate seems reasonable when the current budget is taken into consideration for about a quarter of the 1947 $41500,000,000 budget is made up of non-recurring expenditures. Subtract- ing those from the total would leave $31.500,000,000 and further economics to total $1,500,000,000 should be pnssn;]c without touching essential expenditures for national defense, for vetérans’ benefits and for interest on the public debt Those unofficial figures that are floating around Washington accordingly seem more than a shade incredible. It is difficult to believe that an ad- ministration in need of support in the Congress could give them serious consideration. For, even if Federal tax rates were left unchanged, it is doubtful whether they would vield enough revenue to balance the budget at thirty-seven billions. If expenditures. were to remain at so high a level, there would be no surplus for modest reduction of the debt or for reduction of taxes in any one of the different ways already recom- mended—though Mr. Truman is also reported set to take a strong stand against any tax cut Nevertheless, to offer a Federal budget is ready are well announced of new only a credited to it or not other- | 1 | bulkheads and piers. Seventeen Fateful Acres (New York Times) Events have reduced the probable area of the United Natiohs' permanent home from forty square miles to about one-fortieth of a square mile. They have transferred it from a site in Westche ind Connecticut, or in Philadelphia, or it San Francisco, where in time a new city within a city might have | risen, to,a spot from which its towers, rising above the East River, may bleand with the majestic skyline |of Manhattan. They have brought it out of the ealm |of dreams into that of sticks and stones, or “firm | offers,” of unanimous action by the New York City | Board of Estimate to turn over the necessa reets They have suddenly ed ithe | tex and removed the doubts that threatened to cause an indefinite postponement of a final choiec It was pleasant enough to contemplate a dream city dedicated to peace—a city cf structures set in wide spaces, a city of vistas, lawns, parks, wocdlands, a city in which all the personnel and all the activities of a great international organization could have been | beautifully and tranquilly swallowed up. It was also { pleasant to think of Flushing Meadows, held in fond { memory by those who went to the World's Fair, com- | ing to life again with a serious purpos2. But the East River site, so generously offered by John D. Rocke- feller, J tirs the imagination in a different way Here is the open space of the river, never to be cut off. Here is rock to build upon, providing, as the Headquarters Committee agreed, “foundations for ¢ ! tallest buildings that may be desired.” The del tion from Iraq protested against the site's smal against neighboring industrial plants, again unavoidable smoke, noise and traffic. But these advantages, if such they are, are part of of being in and of the world. We cannot say that the Le dis- pric: the ue of Nations failed because it was cloistered but we can be re that the idea of a cloistered existence can never part of the United Nations. All through the r runs like a refrain the phrase “international and security,” but it is not the peace and security of open fields, or quiet forests, of escapc from the drive and tumult of human life on this earth. The peace and security must exist in ihe desires and emotior the purp and plans of men at the points of their greatest activity New York has welcomed the United Nations tenants in this city. It has welcomed its visitor: in a truly metropolitan manner, without fuss or display It has welcomed them as it has welcomed other visitors and prospective. residents, offering what it can offer and leaving them to make their own adjustments. The visitors will detect no coldness in Mr. Rocke- feller’'s action, in Commissioner Moses' painstaking efforts to find a suitable site, in the swiftness with which Mayor O'Dwyer and the Board of Estimates acted when the site-seemed to have been found. If U. N’s days of tenancy are soon to end, all geod New Yorkers will rejoice. If the campaign for international peace and security is so successful that more room than seventeen acres is some day re- quired, we believe the extra space will be forthcoming. We like to think that upon those eternal rocks of mid- Manhattan a solid edifice for mankind may be built.

Swalr asked “COSAIC,” Churchill replied is the Commander of the Supreme Allied Invasion Corps “What's his name?” Stalin asked “We're going to name him later,” Churchill replied TOES made CHURCHILL V MARSHALL Stalin then it quite clear that he didn't trust Churchill, that he believed Churchill would still oppose an invasion across the Channel andy that unless a Com- mander-In-Chief was selected be- fore the Big Three left Teheran, all agreements were off. Roose- velt then agreed to select the S preme Commander immediately and recessed the session Moving into the next room, Roosevelt summoned Admiral King and Admiral Leahy, asked, them who they thought the Supreme Commander should be. Both plied that there was only one choice, General George Marshall The Chief of Staff, they said, not only deserved but wanted the job “I agree,” Roosevelt said, “it should be George I'll clear it with Churchill right away.” Roosevelt then called on Chur- chill and told him his candidate was General Marshall “I'll take anybody except Mar- shall,” Churchill replied. “If you insist on Marshall, then TI'll with- draw all my commitments Rocsevelt knew that Marshall had rebuffed Churchill on his ideas for an invasion via Italy to the Balkans, and that the British Prime Minister, who considered himself quite a military strategist, had not relished these rebuffs. But, though Roosevelt argued that Mar- shall was not anti-British, Chur- chill remained adamant Finally Rocsevelt summoned Marshall and told him the result of his ccnterence with Churchill | If you appoint me, they're liable to | 'hold up all of them at the last minute, just out of spite.
