We could use a couple ol new sections added to the prc- sent structure, a modern lighting system and a larger press box And the way the crowds have turned out in recent Jose or could pay for all this quickly enough. A press release from the Arkansas Employment Security Division, Little Rock, advises me that charges, by Mexico that Ar- icansas planters have violated labor contracts with imported Mexican cotton pickers have been investi- gated a found, for the most part, to be unsubstantiated. State Administrator Purifoy Gill reported that Mexican pickers arc satisfied generally with housing and wages, but a few of the younger Mexicans "were homesick and wished to return to their native In any event, the state is constantly checking on the quality of treatment given the and that's a good warranty for continued friendly relations between Mexico and the U.S.A But I wonder if the very fact that America has to import foreign labor for various jobs due lo the scarcity of native labor doesn't suggest continued caution on lhe part of thc Employment Security Division in every state in puttin" out "unemployment benefits" for alleged inability to find jobs. 'There is actually no genuine unemployment anywhere in America today, and it is absurd to pay out taxpayers' money to natives at a lime when America is having to import foreigners to do our own uscuil and necessary work.

War Scares, Off and On, May Be Soviet's 'Planned Chaos' By JAMES THRASHER Our three defense dcpartmcnls are now wondering whether they can get by on the budget for fiscal 1950 that Mr. Truman has limited to $15,000,000,000.

They also seem uncertain how they will apportion the sums they get. The confusion is not due to service rivalries, it' reports on the budget discussions a.re correct. Thc principal trouble is that the dclense heads do not know what sort ol a war to prepare for, or when to prepare for it. The world's war-fever chart has recently shown some sharp rises and falls. The Berlin situation grows tense, and up it goes.

A new quiet days, and the fever subsides. All of this is bound to produce uncertainly in the top military circles of the western nations. But the question it's one that doesn't seem lo have had much public whether the uncertainly may not be part of the Russian strategy of economic, not political, war. This is only a question, not a certainty. There is no doubt that the Soviet government has millions under arms and millions more available, or that it is working in closest secrecy lo perfect new and terrible weapons.

The western countries cannot ignore lliese laclors or fail lo prepare defenses against them. At the same time it is possible that all the Russian accusations and professed fears and provocative tactics are part of a long- range Soviet plot to gain a number of Communist objectives with a minimum risk of conflict, haps Mr. Vishinsky. with screarnings, Ihumpings and apoplectic countenance, is coolly currying out a well-prepared program. Perhaps his mission lu Paris is simply to create more urmoil, with no thought of negotiation.

Possibly the Russian leaders are thinking somewhat in Ibis vein: We are not in shape 1'or a long war, and the United Slates wifl not launch a "preventive" war. But the more we accuse the Americans of planning aggression the more' lhe western world will think iluu apparent today even amid the jubilation of the election triumph. Southern congressmen talked harmony but warned ominously against any attempt by the Northern wing of the party lo ram through legislation outlawing the poll tax, lynching or job discrimi nation. Vice president- elect, Albcn W. Barkley went on record with a forecast that President Truman will ask the 81st Congress in Jan uary to fulfill the Democratic campaign platform by passing those measures without delay.

But Sen. Olin D. Johnston, S. an outspoken foe of the racial rights program, said "I'm still against it." The Senator, who of the first to congratu Truman when the latter late one Mr. returned to Washington yesterday, suggested that Congress let the individual states handle legislation on the poll tax and'lynching.

Sen. John C. Stennis, said he hopes the administration press the civil rights issue. won't It was recalled that House Speaker-designate Sam Rayburn of Texas admitted in a recent campaign speech that he is dead set against the civil rights pro gram. Since Rayburn is one of thc men Mr.
