WATERLOO DAILY COmitR. WATERLOO. IOWA THURSDAY, JVtY 1MI. I li Four These Days I' '''V J' 'J '1 Editoziahi Debate by Vituperation. Sokolsky Says U.

S. Law Inapplicable in UN Area By GEORGE SOKOLSKY. A problem raised by establishing the permanent headquarters of the United Nations in New York City is defining the "United Nations headquarters district." An agreement was reached between George Marshall, secretary of state, and shall apply, and the federal, state or local law or regulation shall be inapplicable In the headquar ters district to the extent that the United Nations claims It to be In-consistent with the regulation of the United Nations. This section shall not prevent the reasonable application of tire protection reg ulatlons of the appropriate American authorities." Section 21, referred to above, pro Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the vides: United Nations, which was incorporated in legislation passed by the 80th congress. First of all was defined an area where the buildings are to bo at the eastern section of mldtown Manhattan.

This agreement provided not only that the federal, but state and municipal governments "(A) Any dispute between the United Nations 'and the United States concerning the Interpretation or application of this agree ment or of any supplemental agree. appropriate American authorities should enter into similar bind nient, which is not settled by nego. ing agreements with the United Nations on the subject. tiation or other agreed mode ot settlement, shall be referred for final decision to a tribunal of three The United Nations has the right to own: would have had more to gain personally by indorsing it than by opposing it. It is almost incredible that the administration should have formulated a farm program without consulting any of the farm organizations which represent the farmers.

Yet that is what happened; and that fact indicates the purely political na-, ture of the whole scheme. Those who, like Kline, think the farmers should be consulted on matters directly affecting their welfare are subjected to "personal abuse. We hope the administration will make the Brannan plan an election issue in 1950 and 1952. Any scheme to put shackles on the farmer by requiring him to rely on the government for his income is a test which every Republican should welcome. Under the Socialist government in Britain a farmer can be put off his land if he doesn't farm it according to government specifications.

Under the Brannan plan, the government would have virtually the same power because the market price of agricultural products would be so low as to force bankruptcy. And the farmer couldn't get the government subsidy unless he did what the government told him to do. Yet Allan Kline, according to administration spokesmen, opposes the plan because he is disappointed at not getting the job of secretary pf agriculture! After administration forces were badly routed in their icheme to push the Bran-nan "consumer subsidy" plan through congress, they began to shift their tactics on the issue in preparation for the 1950 congressional campaigns. Instead of dwelling on the alleged merits of the plan, they have begun to attack the integrity of opponents. Since Allan Kline, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, has been the foremost opponent of the Bran-nan plan, it is natural that he should be the first to be singled out for attack.

The current administration line, voiced in almost identical form by various administration spokesmen, is that Kline opposed the Brannan proposals because he was disappointed at not getting an appointment as secretary of agriculture under Dewey Fortunately, this charge is so fantastic that it could have been dreamed up only by Washington publicity men entirely unfamiliar with the farm group they are attempting to influence. For Kline is too well known in farm circles for any such charge to be received with anything but a laugh. We don't know whether or not Kline has any ambitions to be secretary of agriculture; but he is not a man to let any personal disappointment interfere with his interest in the welfare of agriculture. And, if the Brannan plan is good for farmers as well as the nation as a whole, Kline arbitrators, one to be named by the secretary-general, one to be named by the secretary of state of the United States, and the third to ba chosen by the two, or, if they should fail to agree upon a third, then by the president of the inter-national court of justice. 1.

Oleomargarine interests want the right to color their product yellow so that it will be mistaken and used for butter. They argue that the label on the package will prevent deception of the consumer. The debate has been so heated on both sides that it is difficult to obtain an objective view. But a close parallel is contained in the attempt of a soap company to produce a bar of soap colored red and pass it off to the public as Lifebuoy.

The Lifebuoy company took the case to a federal court which ruled: "Had the defendant masked its purpose by adopting only one of the characteristic properties of the plaintiffs product If, for In ttance, it had adopted a blue color or green instead of red; or if it had adopted the same color and a different odor, and had not ployed the world 'Life-Guard in obvious simulation of the plaintiff's trademark the mere use of the octagonal shape cake or the term 'Health Soap' could not well be the subject of complaint; but the aggregation by the defendant of all the characteristics of the plaintiff's product, as described, makes it abundantly clear that the defendant intended to imitate the plaintiff's product and to enter Into unfair competition with it, and there are no allegations of fact contained in the defendant's affidavits which point to a different conclusion." This is a close parallel with the butter-oleo case. For oleomargarine is designed to imitate butter in every possible way as taste, texture and other qualities. Oleo manufacturers have even gone so far as to put pictures of dairy cattle and dairy barns in their advertising and on their packages. Now they seek the right to adopt the distinctive yellow color of butter. There is just as much intent to deceive the consumer as in the soap case involving an imitation of Lifebuoy.

If oleo is a suitable and nutritious spread, as claimed, it should be possible to sell it as easily as it is to sell a good cake of soap without infringing on the trademark color and characteristics of a competing product. plane which would take them to the next stop on their current South American tour.

Waterloo's position as a center of the dairy industry is enhanced by the estab- lishment here of a National Dairy Shrine in connection with the National Dairy Cattle Congress. The various dairy breed associations are cooperating in the action.

The Shrine, which will be located in a property near the Cattle Congress grounds, will serve as a kind of clearing house for the activities and projects of the dairy industry. Although the Shrine will be on a modest scale in the beginning, it is hoped that it will grow to more impressive proportions in the coming years and that the breed associations will eventually make their headquarters here. In any case, the location of the Shrine here will naturally cause dairymen and breeders everywhere to view Waterloo as the capital of the industry. Pont, insisted on it.

The cardinal took no part in carried the state for Roosevelt, and for Al Smith before him. It was an almost unbeatable combination. However, Democratic political leaders are now privately and mournfully predicting that the alliance is almost certain to fall apart. They base this upon two factors: One, is the much-publicized attack on Mrs. Roosevelt by Cardinal Spellman, which has focused nation-wide attention on religious issues.

I Two, is the much-less publicized opposition of Cardinal Spellman to ex-Gov. Herbert Lehman, who had hoped to be the first Jew in history to be elected to the United States senate. opposesTeiiman. Lehman, who served as governor Of New York longer than any other man, was considered a sure winner for the senate seat of ex-Sen. Bob Wagner.

As governor, he had received the support of all religious groups. However, the cardinal and Lehman got into an argument last year over the banning of The Nation, a magazine, from New York public school libraries because The Nation had published a series of articles by Paul Blan-shard critical of the Catholic church. Lehman took the position at that time that, since the New York public schools are attended by Protestants and Jews as well as Catholics, Roosevelt's subsequent congressional race, which he won by a substantial majority. marked in loud tones: "Some people raise dogs instead of children."

GOP leaders were hopeful the Mediapolis farmers' forum would provide a format for future county affairs and the state gathering at Ames. country. It turned out, however, that he only wanted sheepherders to tend flocks in the west. McCarran want Thoughts Thof ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

Hickenlooper is expected to seek reelection. Governor's day at Clear Lake originated in 1939 when George Wilson was elected governor. He had been a summer resident of Clear Lake for many years prior to his election when city officials decided to entertain the governor and his family. Residents of Clear Lake opened their homes to legislators and state officials for the event.

Cardinal Spellman, however, new life in the United States.

Thus, senators were a little grown the now traditional Gov- letter. Now that Lehman is available for the senate, he has received word from Catholic leaders that, because of his stand on the censorship of The Nation, he would have definite church opposition. this would make it difficult, if not impossible, for him to win.

FDR, CONSULTS CARDINAL In the light of Cardinal Spell- man's criticism of Mrs. Roosevelt, it is interesting to recall a conference which took place between the cardinal and her son before from the bright-eyed efficiency of the northern Swiss. Public life assumes tne aspects of Italy.

The town square is draped with people going nowhere and in no hurry to get there. The outdoor cafes are filled with people who are convinced that eating and talking can be a joyous pastime rather than a reluctant interruption from work. The architecture, too, goes through one of those sudden transformations you come to expect in Europe. The neat little Swiss chalets have disappeared, and the homes are Italian-style, walled with fancy grill-work gates and vines running in eccentric patterns. Almost every room has a balcony, and every balcony a trellis.

Lake Lugano itself is almost unbearably beautiful. The region has changed surprisingly little in the century since Keats and Shelley hymned its praises, and the view from the foot of San Sal-vatore still wrings cries of rapture from the most case-hardened traveler. This section of the town is appropriately named "Paradiso." A funicular railway runs up San Salvatore, and you can then walk for miles, parallel to the lake, looking down on scenes that would make a crow sing like a nightingale. The combination of mountain, lake and valley conspires to bring out color-tones and contrasts seen nowhere -else in the western world. nas em, wears em, and we got young Franklin ran for congress em.
