" NATIONAL REPREFENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. FOR CONFUSED HOME BUYERS One of the prelintinaries to buying a house is the reading of real-estate ads. Because this can be a con- fusing process, Changing Times, the Kiplinger maga- zine, has compiled its own handy glosary of real-estate terms and phases to help the prospective buyer. These samples will give you a general idea of it: Owner leaving town — He's hoping to retire to Florida on the proceeds. Seldom have we been privileged to offer such a buy — A white eelphant, the kind with eight bedrooms end a 1908 bath. On a hill overlooking river — Just climb the hill | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE--JUNEAU, ALASKA plete demobilization in such parlous times as these.[ At the same time, it is quesionable whether we can afford the expense of constituting ourselves as a “giant minute man ready to go to all-out war on the fighting and home fronts the instant war is declared.” This phraseology appears in an Associated Press dispatch reporting Iglr Baruch'’s speech. It is not immediately clear how the noted t}nancler | and adviser to Presidents would achieve this state of | readiness without frightful expense — expense wiich over a period of years might so weaken us that we would be much easier for the Soviet to infiltrate and overwhelm, Mr. Baruch did make several very valid points. It took us two and a half years to achieve a maximum of industrial output in World War II. (It also took us quite a while to get going in World War 1) And in each case we had forewarning of our peril. We can- possible World War III—it might be decided with frightening rapidity. So, we'll agree with Mr. Baruch that all possible plans should be made for immediate mobilization. We'll agree with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhoewr that we probably have allowed some of our defense arrange- ments to dwindle below the danger point. But we cannot—we simple cannot—exist for long as a free and prosperous country if we try to maintain ourself as an armed camp indefinitely. Bungling Senator (St. Louis Star-Times) There were valid reasons why the State Depart- ment interceded with a Federal judge to have Val- entin Gubitchev sent back to Russia instead of to jail. But Senator Wherry refuses to recognize them. The Gubitchev deal, Wherry charges, demonstrates the “unfitness” of Secretary of State Dean Acheson. It does no such thing. It marks the secretary’s alert- ness to delicate problems of international relations, problems that involve the welfare of American citizens abroad. If Gubitchev’s 15-year sentence had been carried out, he would have become the darling of Soviet pro- pagandists. His case could have been cited in defense of Communistic governments’ persecution and arrest not afford to be so leisurely in our precautions for a and you can see the river.

QUESTION OF PREPAREDNESS Bernard Baruch’s speech before the Naval War College dealt with an evident need. unduly dramatized the situation is Obviously, we cannot afford the luxury of com- >/ i Washingion Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) weuld ke political dynamite to in- crease the French army now ,they said. Other smaller countries also didn’t want to overtax their mili- tery budgets, all of which paved the way for two important pro- pesals: 1. Bringing Spain, together with Franco’s 500,000-man army, Mto the North Atlantic Pact. 2. Arming a west German army cf 150,000 men, THUMBS DOWN ON SPAIN Neither proposal got anywhere. The Spanish proposal, long ad- vocated by the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, was vigorously opposed by British Defense Minister Em- manuel Shinwell, who explained that the British Labor Government had only a margin of six votes in the House of Commons, and that bringing Spain into the North Atlantic Pact would lose Premier Attlee about 40 votes. Political opinion in British labor circles, he said, was adamant against dic- 4ator Franco. So the Spanish proposal was dropped. Note—Seeretary of Defense John- son has told friends that the Tru- man administration is not anxious to resume full-scale relations with Francos until he gives Protestants the right of free worship. Spanish Protestants are now virtually sec- ond-class citizens, it being difficult for a Protestant to win promotion in the Spanish army or in other government posts ‘The plan for a 150,000-man Ger- man army was made by the British, who argued that such a force could rot be a threat to France unless equipped with an air force. The British prorosed giving the Ger- mans land-army equipment instead. But the French said no. A Ger- man army, they argued, would do a right-about-face, and go over to the enemy in case of Russian at- tack. So the idea of a German army was also dropped. That left western Europe still considerably shy of the armies considered necessary to hold back a Soviet attack, and with some private talk among European de- fense chiefs that the United States should keep an army permanently on the continent. - mtfimxous SENATOR * Wa%mn's ' pugnacious GOP Sen. rry Cain started to beat up a reporter half his size the other day, but changed his mind when the little fellow stood his The near-brawl was in of Americans. ‘Wherry’s blast serves only one purpose: It enables the propagandists to salvage something from the Gubitchev case after all. Now, they can say that Gugitchev's release was something of a fluke—that if it hadn’t been engineered quietly, men like Wherry would have blocked it with the support of American public opinion. Senator Wherry is playing the bull in the china shop again. If anyone’s unfitness has been demon- strated, it is his as a spokesman in matters involving diplomatic relations. — Been trying to Sometimes we have a spell of wondering how happy people would be if they knew what they wanted and could get it.

McNaughton jumped up, |prepared to defend himself. “If yecu've got any tricks up your sleev: you go ahead andl pull them,” challenged the mild-l mannered little reporter. But Cain changed his mmd,l ordered McNaughton out of his office instead, then proceeded to air his wounded vanity on the Senate floor, where he told amused colleagues it wasn't true that he! was one of the Senate’s most ex-; pendable members. The more he talked, however, the more the Washington Senator convinced his listeners the opposite Snarling defiance, Cain roared up at McNaughton in the press gallery, calling him “smug, arro- gant, self-centered, vain and frus- trated.” Exactly the reverse happens to be true. McNaughton is an able, modest, sincere newsman. Then Cain sank to a new low in statesmanship. Lashing out from behind his Congressional im- munity, Cain called McNaughton a “4-F in war and a 4-F in peace.” 1! “McNaughton has undoubtedly encouraged other men to die, but he has never stood on the side- lines &nhd watched them die,” har- angued Cain. “I lost even what had been my desire to laugh in the face of this pigmy,” he sneered. “I did not even want to bat him around physically because that would have m'"lke punching ‘a bag of e Senators sat silent, shocked at the vituperation of their Republi- can colleague from Washington.

The joint chiefs of staff have sent Secretary Acheson a stiff memo asking that he stop the shipment of steel from western Germany to Communist China.
