A judge ruled that petting in parked cars is legal. All you have to convince, fellows. Is the gal. There bus been a lot of talk about regimentation, socialism and planned economy in connection with Secretary of Agriculture Brannan's proposed farm program. But the head of the American Kami Bureau Federation has a some- wlial more practical objection.

No economic group in this country would be willing to slake Us future on sued a precarious possibility." rejoice in the views of an honest man who feels that it's the money, not Die principle of tiie thing, that matters. VIEWS OF OTHERS The Great Labor Duel Chandler Seemed Eager To Lower the Boom on Leo There is nothing world-shaking or even nation-shaking about the suspension of-Leo Durocher. But the fact remains that it is important lo a lot ot Americans who will cheerfully admit that they spend more lime reading the baseball news than they do in following the war-in China or the possible lilting of the Berlin blockade. So the fate of the New York Giants' manager can at least qualify as authentic news.

It would seem that Baseball Commissioner Chandler may have lowered the boom on Leo. Maybe has been a bad boy in the past, and maybe Commissioner Chandler did bar him from baseball for a whole season a couple of years ago. But that isn't the point now. The point is whether he or did not knock down, kick and jump on a Brooklyn Dodger fan who had been heckling him all during a game in which the Giants got the daylights beat out of them. The aggrieved fan states that Mr.

Durocher assaulted him on the ball field before thousands of witnesses. A Brooklyn player, who a.sked not to be identified, corroborated the story. Mr. Durocher says that lie shoved somebody away who, he thought, was trying to snatch his cap. Several Giant players back him up.

So does a radio announcer who saw the whole fracas. The victim of the alleged assault went to a hospital where, according to an attendant quoted by the New York times, he "fell into a very impressive faint." But hospital officials said that X-rays failed to show any bruises or fractures, external or internal. The alleged victim, who had charged that he was kicked in the side and stomach, quit the hospital complaining of a pain in his head. So there would seem to be two sides to the story. But Commissioner Chandler hastened to suspend the Giant manager inside of 2J hours.

Almost every first- day story of the incident that we read mentioned that Chandler had just been waiting for a reason to put the finger on Mr. Dnrochur. We don't say this is so. We merely mention the fact that several baseball writers, close to the situation, thought it important enough to mention. In fact, criticism of Chandler's haste was instant and widespread, some of it coining from baseball writers who have.no love or respect for Lippy.

I Apparently this needled the Chan- 1 dler office into a belated explanation. An unidentified "source close to Chandler" said that the commissioner felt I that tension was too tight in New I York's Harlem and the quick suspension acted as a safely valve. VJ Perhaps so, but simply because his The Truman Democrats in the House won a maneuver only a musleriiiB voles enough to shelve the Wood bill, which had been passed Tuesday, had previously lost its fight to repeal the Tall-Hartley Act by passage ol the Sims bill. The Tnrt-Hni'1- ley Act remains on the books. The battle now shifts lo the Senate, where it is certain Dial many lealiires of Ihe Tafl-Harllcy Act will remain in any law that is passed.

It has been obvious lor a long time that Mr. Truman could not make good on his Hal, unqualified campaign promise 10 repeal the Tall- Hartlcy Act. He could not make good on It because there arc tunny provisions in the Tatt- Hnrtley law which the country needs. The law has been unjustly maligned by labor leaders. It is not the "slave labor act" that it has been called.

Time and experience have showed Ita value. When Mr. Truman made tils headlong speeches against the Taft-Hartley Act. he was. among other things, opposing a clause of high importance thnt he himself hnd effectively applied.

We refer the 80-day injunction lo protect the nation against strikes which imperil the national health or safely. This clause has hnd. a disputed history, but its very presence on the statute books has had a restraining effect on labor and has given the public some feeling of assurance. During the paralysing railroad strike ol 19-16, the country hnd no mechanism whatever lo deal with that kind of anarchy. Mr.

Truman went to Congress in a frantic mood. He even went so far as to suggest that I he strikers he dratted into the proposal, incidentally, that Senator Taft helped to kill off. And. of course, the suc- cries engineered by John Lewis have shown the need for such challenges to the snlcty ill the state. Seldom in American legislative history has a law been subjected to such searching analysts as The Tall-Ilarlley Act.

For many weeks, the Senate Labor Committee held hearings during which it was brilliantly dissected by experts. There were sound arguments against some of its and Senator Taft wisely yielded lo on the whole the law, stood the lest of microscopic examination. The leason is perfectly clear. The Wagner Act, passed in an era that cried for reforms, redressed labor's ancient grievances; moreover, it pave powerful impetus lo the growth ot Irade- uiiioni.sjn. 11 was ftnnkly and one-sidedly pro- labor.

Under the Wagner Act, labor has enormously increased in power. With power, inevitably, came unfairness and abuses. Time and experience showed clearly they had to be corrected. The pendulum had swung. As Voltaire said of God.

if the Tall-Hartley Act had not been created, another act of its kind would have had lo come into being. an inevitable historical process. And it is the genius ot Ihe American that it has always been able to seel: and tmd equilibrium. That's why Mr. Truman could not make gocd on a rash and un- stalcsmanlikc campaign slogan.

Reuter means, I take it, that we are about to see the start of a great struggle between Russia and the Western allies for control ol all Germany.

It's the old Germany was the keystone of much of continental Europe's economy. Wes Gallagher, AP chief of bureau In Germany, reports that many international observers there believe victory for the West would shatter the Red Iron curtain, The reason is that Eastern Europe traditionally has depended heavily on the Reich for necessities which it is doubttul Russia alone can provide.

Tile reference Is to Ihe platform adopted at Philadelphia last 'June.

In fact, psoriasis is one of 'hose diseases for which several new treatments are reported almost every year. A number of these have not stood the test o( time, and therefore one should be extremely cautious about accepting their value.

In many cases of chronic psorla- sois. good results may come from any one of the different treatments, but the psoriasis later re- turus. When the same treatment which produced good results the first time is tried again, nothing may come of It and a new method has to be used. For these reasons psoriasis is often an extremly discouraging thing for patient and doctor alike. Note: Dr.

At last week's meeting of the National Organization Strategy Committee, which was created by Chairman Scott after the Omaha National Committee meeting last January, did produce a draft statement of principles for which the party should stand.

No action was taken on it. The reception was so cool that nobody claimed authorship. In the opinion of some of the Republican congressmen who saw the statement later, the party would have been just well off' if this draft had never seen the light of day. Specifically, the eight-point program was against high taxes, more power for the chief executive and communism. It was for a sound national economy, the highest living standard for all.

an open foreigi policy, national defense and peace This set of principles could be on a post-card, all right But what they meant or how they i were, to be achieved was spelled on 1 no belter than in a similar state mem of Republican principle drawn up under the direction Indiana Congressman Charles Hallock, in 1016. It was just another Republican disappointment and a Killer held all Eastern Europe and the Balkan-s in the itching palm of his hand. Why? Because industrial Germany over a lonK period had built up all economic structure under which she supplied agricultural countries with manufactured articles, and took from them in turn Ihe agricultural pro- duels which the Reich didn't produce Itself. This arrangement wasn't Just somelhing that happened. It was the result of a carefully worked out plan.
