APBIL 1950 FILES FOR CONGRESS It could be helpful to have a high court finding on the power of Congress to subpoena officials and files of the executive branch of the government for committee investigations. Suggestions for -a, court test again have been heard followinig the clash between the Senate subcommittee probing the State Department and the custodians of files containing personal investigation reports on Department employees. This is not the first time a Congressional committee has tried to subpoena confidential gov files, and so far Congress hfis come off second best in such encounters. A court test ought to clarify the right of Congress to demand confidential -files and information, and the limitations of that right.

It also would hold a possibility of some exploration of these committee investigations into the Constitutional duties of Congress. But court tests take much time; has the State subcommittee no other way to complete its investgiations? The committee can submit to the proper investigating in a proper degree of privacy, the names of employees whose loyalty is questioned, and request a new examination of the files in question. It can then ask ihe responsible officials for a statement of the findings of the examination. If Congress is umvilliing to as reliable the statements of those officials, it and ought to employ the remedy of impeachment. If Congress is not prepared to.

go to the extent of impeachment of an official, it ought to display confidence in the word of that official. The intellectual planner of the Labor Party, he was generally thought to typify Communism.

While a lecturer in -government at Harvard Universty in 1919, he expressed sympathy with the striking Boston policemen.

It was opposition to this strike that made Calvin Coolidge president. Laski's stand made indignant wealthy Harvard graduates demand his dismissal. President A. Lawrence Lowell, himself a member of the social and economic group from which the protest? came, defended Laski's right to free speech, telling the university governing board, "If you call for Laski's resignation, you shall have mine too." Laski accordingly served out his term. President Lowell could be forgiven, however, for feeling relief when the young Englishman decided to go back home.

ROGERS CHILDREN IN SUMMER Summer camps for children have come to be relied upon by many city parents as a means of supplying their offspring with a few of the experiences and the skills which in pioneer days were by-product of everyday living. Speaking before a group of camp counsellors, Dr.

Roma Gans, of Teachers College, Columbia University, stressed the point that camp life should not include remedial teaching nor any other form of academic activity. She pointed out that some-1 thing like camp activities is' necessary because a youngster needs the ability to face the world on his from parents, neighborhood, and school. "Youngsters who have never been on their own frequently fail in later life." Camp routine trains children to set up their own laws and to obey them, increasing their feeling of personal responsibility. Rural children, with their 4-H clubs and other groups foster individual effort and responsibility, as well as concerted group action, have less need of- camp experience. Those who can visit on farms and spend their days in 'healthful outdoor activity, including a little real work, also form a privileged group of youngsters.

For most of the others. something 1 like a camp organization provides a worthwhile summer piogram. RED BONE WOMAN, by Carlyle Tillery (John Day; $3.) Son George packs up and goes off to a city job; daughter Molly is already married ti. wife Rose has died. Tnat leaves Mr.

Randall all by himself on the big Randall place in-Louisiana, with-a lot of his land exhausted, too much stock for one fellow to tend to and too many acres to plant. A man can go from lonesome to shiftless to worse, or he can figure, as Mr. Randall does, that he isn't finished just because he's abandoned, and that if the first family raised has left him, there's time to raise a second. For he isn't so old, and he gets to thinking about the barefoot Red Bone girl down the road a piece. She is Tempie Hamper, who stands day after day fishing in the creek near where he hoes.

White women would rather live in the city, he has discovered; anyway, he isn't young enough nor well enough off for a white woman. So thoug'n he knows how some folks in his neighborhood feel about the Red Bones, or Spanish white as they call themselves, ups and asks Tem- 'ie how she'd like to live ig house with him, '( She woud, she After they settle down to the daily chores the fields together, after he becomes used to her ways- about his. home, he though it seems unnecessary to her to marry her.

"I instinctively clutched, with both hands, and there is a ledge wide enough for me to pull myself onto while I caught my breath. It was my flash you heard going down.

Strength For The Day Bj EARL DOUGLASS CONCERNING ANGELS. What does the Bible teach about angels? man has almost ceased to think about angels and yet the Bible has a about them. great The deal word to aay "angel" both in Hebrew and Greek means messengers.

The angels are God's mssengers. Jacob saw them ascending and descending on a ladder taking the petitions of men up to God and bringing the blessings of God down to men. Jesus spoke of the angels which guard little children. Angels came to Jesus and ministered to him after his temptation. Jesu spoke of the angels as the reapers of the wheat and tares on the last great day.

The of the Bible is that angels are celestial beings higher than man who appear to be engaged in continuous activity in mans 1 behalf. We are justified in believing that we have guardian angels and that every day they exert considerably more influence on our lives than we Are accustomed to think. Modern man may disregard angels or indeed scoff at them, but this in no way makes any difference so far as the reality of their existence i concerned. Unless the testimony of the whole Bible and the testimony of the New Testament in particular, is fallacious, angels are very real, very active, and very near to us; and whether we recognize the fact or noi, they play a very important part in our daily lives. "You almost tempt me," he said, nadly.

"No. Do not stop 's one of my decent love you so much I'm going to do the only thing I can. Iris loyal 1 bless you both!"

There was a wet liine sightly above it on, the cliffslde. The -tide was going out "It is better that way," said as Iris wept heartbrokenly in my arms. "We'd better get her to her room as soon as we can and send for a doctor. suggest eofng away for a time." "I've got to know," said Iris. "I can't stand it if I don't.

Was Greg actually Ian at the end.7" "No," Bald Steve. "At first he was "Just overly interested in the traditions and family background of the castle. Ian had always appealed to him because of his romantic life and because there was, as you both noticed, a slight resmblance. That' interest became too concentrated, and that, together with other reading he had.ben doing, played on his high-struncr nature and unbalanced him mentally." "But both Hugh and I saw Ian'!" thought you said Steve. "In both cases you woke out of a sound sleep and Greg must hav.e.

been an expert Hypnotist. He not only hypnotized you so that you saw what he wanted you to- see, but he also hypnotized himself intp the that he was actually dominated by the spirit of- Black Ian!" We had brought Iris back to her room, and the doctor had given tier a sedative and' departed. Steve and I were talking It'over in the library. "I'm afraid I gave you a rough time of it," Steve apologized. "As I I didn't know you, am Greg handed me pretty much the same line about you that you handed me about him.

"Yes, except one who after al hadn't been proved killed here and. washed out to sea." "So it was only hypnotism after all," I 'said after a silence. "Something of a disappointment for you.

Isn't it?" "I don't know," smiled Steve "I have still to find a case which is really supernatural! When I do find I search will be over, and then what will I do for a hobby? Of course, Hugh, after a decent interval you'll marry Iris. How about bringing her over to America for a honeymoon? I'd be glad to put my summer place in the Adirondacks at your disposal for as long as you like." "I'll probably take you up on that. Right was my friend. Later on, and don't forget there's a little matter of a police investigation to be faced in the morning!" "There'l be nothing to that," he smiled. "Don't worry about it." "I am worrying about it." I smiled back, "and I hope you're a good both counts!" As it turned out, he was a good prophet, and on' both counts! THE END Little Benny Featuring BENNY POTTS A Bo?

MACKENZIE'S COLUMN By DeWTn MACKENZIE, AP Foreign Affairs Analyst It begins to look as though the democracies finally may call off the boycott against lad of Western Europe ever since Gen. Franco became dictator in '39 aa the result of his revolt against the Communist-su orted republic.

The trend was first indicated some weeks aco when V. S. Secretary of State Acheson announced a change In American policy towards Snain. Ho favored resumption of full diplomatic representation In Madrid as soon as the United States repeals its 1946 recommendation that aH members withdraw their recommendation which was followed. This reversal of policy seems t) have paved the way for a striking development at the recent meetings of the Atlantic Pact defense ministers in The Hague.

Spain of vast strategic Importance militarily, the question naturally arose of her relation to the 12-natlon Atlantic Pact. The conference military advis- ers favored the leasing of air bases from Spain, rather than giving her direct membership in the Pact It Is said this proposal will be placed before the meeting of the Pact nations' foreign ministers in London early next ionth. All 12 nations must approve before Spain can be approached In the matter. Chief opposition comes from Britain, whose Labor government objects to the Franco regime on ideological grounds. The point is that if bases should be leased from Spain, it would open the door to full Inclusion of Spain in the Western defense system if she should wish to participate.

Believers in democracy abhor dictatorships. But it is an interesting note that the Western world should turn thumbs down on th Madrid government because it is a dictatorship, while playing ball with other totalitarian regimes which are tougher, for example, Soviet Russia, THE NATJ mes Marlow WASHINGTON, April It's going to be interesting to see what President Truman does, if anything, to offset the battering his administration has received from the Republicans. This is an important year for Mr. Truman. It's an election year, when the people will have to vote for all 435 members of the house and' 36 of the 96 senators.

Although right now the Democrats have a majority in both houses, Truman's 'program at least the part of It which affects us at been doing well. His plan for middle-Income housing got knocked on the head. His hopes that congress will continue federal rent Control when the. law ends next June look pretty dim. Ills civil rights program Is getting no place fast.

Ills desire to wipe out the Taft-Hartley labor law looks hopeless. So much for his program. Meanwhile, his administration has been bludgeoned by some of the Republicans, led by Senator McCarthy, Wisconsin Republican. McCarthy charged the state department was padded with Communists or pro-Communists, and tie named some names. Those accused by him.

or some of them, have denied his charges and called him some unpretty names, ncluding "liar." But McCarthy las conducted a kind of triple attack. He attacked people, he attacked state department, and he at- the wisdom and leadership of the secretary of state. Dean Acheson. He called Acheson a "pompoua diplomat with a phony British accent." And some of the top Republicans in the of Ohio, Bridges of New Hampshire, Wherry of joined in lambasting the state department, particularly for the way it has handled policy toward China. (Not all the Republicans go along with McCarthy.

Some, like former Secretary of War Stlm- son, have denounced his performance, and former Senator John Foster Dulles wrote to Acheson that "public dissemination of rumors and suspicions encourages "our Truman, vacationing In Florida, opened up at a news conference there with the statement: "The greatest asset that the Kremlin has is the partisan attempt in the senate to sabotage the bipartisan foreign policy of the United States." McCarthy so did the senate subcommittee investigating his Truman let the subcommittee see the secret and confidential files on the people named by McCarthy. The senator said the files would back up his charges. Truman refused, as other presidents before him have refused, to let out secret files. Truman'has told his loyalty review board' to check over once again some of the people named by McCarthy, and report back to him. It's possible Truman will have some statement on this report when he gets it.

Farming Is Near A Standstill From Lack Of Moisture AUSTIN, April 5 was at a near standstill over all the state except East Texas last week. Dry soil was the cause, the United States Department of Agriculture reported. Crop growth, planting and soil preparation were all locked in the drouth grip, USDA said. Some Partial Belief Local weekend showers in a few central counties brought only partial relief in that favored area. Wheat continued to deteriorate with practically all areas badly in need of surface moisture.

The situation was reported particularly critical in the high plains where infestation of greenbugs remained heavy and where drying winds further depleted limited moisture supplies. Many irrigated fields were not responding as expected because of severe greenbug infestation. USDA said rain was urgently needed to revive dying plants and warm weather was needed for propagation of narasltlc Insects to destroy the greenbugs. Small grain in the northern black- lands was also suffering from lack of moisture. Prospects for South Texas oats remained poor.

Drouth was retarding corn and sorghum; planting In many areas. Most corn in South Texas, up to a stand, was making very little growth. Growth at Standstill Drouth, high winds and the wide dally range in temperatures were hurting commercial vegetable crops. Growth of green feed was at a standstill over much of the state and dry cured feed was getting short on many Western ranges, USDA said. In East Texas, moisture conditions were better.

Corn and cotton planting made good progress.
