Dulles Washington Post) Citizens of other States as well as those of New York have an interest in the announcements that former Governor Lehman and Senator Dulles will run for the Senate in a special election in November. In a narrow sense a Senator is the representative of the people of his State, but in practice he becomes a law- maker for the entire Nation. When men of broad | experience and high caliber offer their services as Senators, it may be taken for granted that, if elected, they will become primarily national legislators acting in behalf of their is concerned, one Some years back ile Paralysis was Senator.

Mr. Lehman clearly falls into this category. As a four-term Gov- ernor of New York, as director general of UNRRA and as a citizen interested in world problems, he has amply demonstrated the qualities that make a good the same tribute to Senator Dulles. resignation and the election in Appointed by Governor Dewey to fill the gap between November, Mr. Dulles has already established himself as an influential member of the Senate. the fact that he was denied a seat on the Foreign Relations Comimittee, enabled him to step into an important role In spite of his long experience in foreign His record of public service will make him a formidable contender.

One British counter-idea was that the| news of Russia’s possession of the| atom secret should be leaked in- | stead to a newspaper. This would | give the American public a less sudden realization that Russia had| the bomb. | There had also been some op-| position to the announcement on| the part of U. S. military men on the ground that we could better| watch the Russians if they did not know we, knew their secret. The British shared in this view. However, the British arguments got nowhere. President Truman | had made up his mind categorical- ly that the American people were entitled to knew what had hap- pened, and no one could have de- terred him. That was why when the Cabinet met the next morning he stated: “I have decided to make the fol- lowing announcement.” He did not ask the Cabinet for advice as to whether he should make it. “BOMB” EXPLODES | | With doors bolted and shades | drawn, the Senate-House Atomic | Energy Committee got an advance | report that Russia had exploded | and atomic bomb. The legislators listened with long, solemn faces to the announce- | ment from Chairman Brien McMa- | hon of Connecticut. | “This is information of trans-| cendent importance,” McMahon de- clared, dramatically.

The legislators jumped in their seats, then Lroke into laughter What they had heard was the be- sginning of a-‘ thunderstorm breaking over the Capitol dome. “There goes your Russian atomic bomb,” quipped Millikin The tension was eased. { 4 MINERS' WELFARE FUND What very few pcupler--lncludingi ‘miners—realize about John L. | that the pension fund has suffer- | drawn somewhere.

But what Ithey didn’t know was that: 1. Only three or four coal op- erators in the entire United States | had stopped contributing. 2. The pension part of the fund was not overdrawn and could have/ continued paying pensions. However; since no public ac- counting of the welfare fund is available it was impossible for either the coal miners or the Amer- | ican people to know this. And, in the end, it is the American coal- burning public which feots the bill. Neither the miners nor the general public could ' know, for instance, ed from all sorts of extraneous | expenditures—te say nothing of $35,000 paid annually to beth Sen- ater Bridges of New Hampshire and Ezra Van Horn for sitting on the board. When Lewis stopped all pay- ments to miners just before the| strike, it was announced that the' welfare treasury had dwindled to $14,685,504. But what Le didn’t reveal was that, out of this remas 1m<| ing balance, only a little over $1,000,000 was earmarked for pen- sions to retired, miners. ! MAYBE LEWIS WANTED FUND DEPLETION I | When Senator Bridges acted as | “neutral” arbitrator ‘for the fund in 1948, he decreed that pensions | were not tc be paid to miners who retired before May 1946.

The Senator from Washington, a former paratrcoper, quietly shifted his brief case from his right to his left hand. “Glad to see you,” he mumbled. But Bez brushed this greeting aside. He was sore because Cain 1had once charged that Bez kelong- ed to a Communist-front organiza- tion. That was the reason for the threat against Cain's nose. “Why did you call me a Com- munist?” snapped Bez. “If you had read your newspap- (ers, you would know that I never called you a Communist,” Cain re- torted.

B. D. Stewart, Jr, is to be used to help keep the Richardson high- way open this winter. It is in addi- tion to $1,000 contributed earlier by the Valdez Dock Company. Alaska Freight Lines has pledged $30,000 cash to the drive. It will ke paid in two installments on Nov. T and Jan. 1. Valdez, population 500 and the farthest north year-around open port, provides the shortest direct line to interior towns and military bases. Use of the highway to Fair- banks, however, is confined to sum- mer months because of a lack of winter maintenance equipment. ‘The 'highway carried tens of thousands of tons of military freight during the war and civilian and military freight is increasing yearly. Contributions will provide all necessary labor and major equip-! ment, the latter including two large rotary plows now being built by the Isaacson Iron Works in Seattle. Karl K.
