Our Daily Bread Sliced Thin by The Editor Alex. H. Washbuni Telephone Company Makes Investment Safe Air Lines From time to time in recent years The Star has had something to say about Southwestern Bell need for ''a permanent investment in Hope, a new building, and installation of the automatic dial system.

Unpaid press releases usually go into the editor's waste-basket with timing, but I salvaged this one from today's mail because (1) it's about aviation, and (2V it's a startling story in itself.

There are no such simpletons here as would let it drop. Perhaps we use it more, but that is because we are in the minority and the veto balances power." frank words were spoken by Russia's Andrei Vishinsky before the Political Committee of the UN General Assembly. They are not encouraging. Yet they constitute, in a way, one of the more admirable statements yet made in the Paris sessions. They are undoubtedly honest.

They are not iced over with diplomatic niceties. With them Mr. Vishinsky did much to wipe away the Russian pose of desiring peace and irig for the good of "the people-." He admitted that Russia is playing a power game and using the veto just as it was meant to be used. Certainly the Soviet government is the worst and most frequent offender in perverting the instrument of the UN to the uses of power politics. At the some time it is hard to challenge his assertion that "there are no such simpletons here" as would let the veto drop.

If the rest of the Big Five had not wanted the veto in the first place, they uurely would have challenged its inclusion when the UN Charter was being framed in San Francisco. The Charter was written and agreed to by men who for tho most part sincerely wanted an international organization that would really insure peace. But they were reared and schooled in the world of power politics, a world in which not only national security but national cdvantage and prestige are paramount. They could see how others a niight abuse the veto power as it has been they were afraid to be without it for their own protection. This docs not fit in with the idealistic concept of the United Nations.

And the noncent has tn be idealistic. The old pattern of thought needed to be replaced. Vishinsky, being an old-school and.particularly hara'-hcaded diplomatist, thinks of those who would replace the old thought pattern as "simpletons." They are the ones who would conceive of the UN as representing a true body of world th'p'Vlght and action, rather than a focal point of of-power maneuvering TheV would accept ma- Irf absence of com- agreement foi settling international differences and avoiding 'believe that the "simpletons" 'would be a lot more representative of people than of Rovcnimonls.

4 Vice Admiral Oscar C. Badger today denied American forces were: being withdrawn from China. Admiral Badger, commander of the Western Pacific fleet, said the "rumors were based on reports U. S. Marines had terminated their barracks." Badger made his denial in a cabled statement from his Tsing- tao base to the Associated Press in Shanghai.

His statement admitted discussions between the Chinese ministry of education and the navy as to "the feasibility of returning the campus to the university for educational The admiral said he ordered an end of the negotiations "upon learning these discussions were being used as a basis for with- drawl rumors." The statement did not say whether any agreement had been reached before negotiations ended for returning to the university the buildings the marines have leased since the end of the war. A Tsingtao report nad said marines were preparing to pull out because peace talks were already underway between Communists and the national government. There were plenty of rumors, but no indication that "either side had taken a single step toward actually negotiating an end to the civil war. Nanking heard rumors that Communists already have representatives in either Nanking or Shanghai. But these were generally discounted in the cap-tal itself as wishful thinking.

Even government warplanes have joined the peace offensive, drooping leaflets on Red troops urging them to lay down their arms. Communists, whose armies dominate the military scene, have made no replv to any of the flood of pleas ahat they initiate peace negotiations. The Nationalist government has made no move since Chiang Kai-shek's New Year's day message. This expressed willingness to talk his terms. A Tsinfitao disontch said some United States Marines arc leaving their barracks and board- mg naval vessels in harbor.

It reported they wore expected to withdraw from Tsingtao, anchorage of the U.S. Western Pacific fleet, before Jan. 25. American naval and diplomatic sources here denied marines were preparing to leave China. But their denials were One sookesman, who should be in a position to know, said: "That report isn't wrong it's premature." The Tsingtao report said "the reason officially given for the surprise move was that since the Chinese government has now decided to negotiate for peace settlement with the Reds, there is a good prospect for peace being restored and the presence of the marines is no longer needed." There was no confirmation that peace talks are underway.

New demands for peace came from Shanghai businessmen. And Communists were reported pressing for local negotiations to ciid the civil war in five northern provinces. Tho Tsinstao report came from the Associated Press' local correspondent. Mo said Vice Admiral Oscar C. Radnor, commander of the western Pacific fleet, would Continue to maintain his base in Tsingtao.

'Continued efforts were being made to reach Admiral Badger for a clarifying statement.) The correspondent's report said marine authorities notified National Shantung university they were vacating their Quarters on the campus they had leased since day. Buildings were to be turned back to the university by January 21. Some quarters' in Shanghai said the order pertained merely to evacuation of shopkeepers and concessionaires for the buildings. The announcement touched off a series of rumors in Tsingtao. One was that Communists, who control most of Shantung peninsula, I were preparing for a large scale (attack on the Tsingtao area, and did not want to get in- jvolved.

Another was that the U. S. i government has accepled a re- iciuest of the Chinese government that it mediate a settlement of the civil war. (State department officials in Washington expressed surprise at the Tsinstao development, but said Admiral Badger has authority to pull out of the Tsingluo anchorage.) Sources in Shanghai said they had heard no such report officially, but said it would not be surprising. Some 600 marines are at Shanghai, quartiM-ed aboard the transport Bayfield.

A heavy hailstorm hit northern Hempstead County about mid-afternoon yesterday with McCaskill and Ozan the hardest hit.

4 Signs of some unexpected Republican support for President Truman appeared on Capitol Hill today as the new 1 81st congress ironed out organization details. Mr. Truman will face the lawmakers tomorrow when he delivers his annual state of the union message to a joint senate-house session. Developments in yesterday's openinp session indicated clearly that Mr. Truman will have far less difficulty getting what he wants from congress thr.n he has had in the past.

He is expected to want just about everything contained in the platform adopted last summer by the Democratic national convention. Mr. Truman campaigned for repeal of the Taft-Hartley labor law and for passage of laws t'o provide housing, health and education by the Seattle Air Charter com' pany, a non-scheduled airline, to 27 Yale students returning to firmer farm price supports and protection of minority groups against discrimination. school after the Christmas hoi- With both senate and house in idays. recess until tomorrow, members The ship crashed into an the Democratic majority and 1 the Republican minority were trying to interpret an opening-day house vote which, on its face, indicated that President Truman may have a lot of Republican support in the new congress.

In addition to the 14 killed, 13 students were hospitalized with burns. Three students escaped uninjured.

Flood made his statements last night before a Civil Aeronautics Board investigation. At the time of the crash, the plane was flown by Pilot William Chavers of Seattle. Testimony given Civil Aeronautics Administration regional Director R. D. Bedinger indicated that Chavers attempted the takeoff on I the icy runway "despite warnings from the Boeing field tow.er of below minimum weather requirue- ments." Bedinger said the tower had warned Chavers twice that there was not sufficient visibility or ceiling for takeoff.

"And that advice is tantamount to telling Chavers the field is closed," Bedinger addend. Jack R. Cluck, company attorney, said that a stenographic transcript of the tower-pilot conversation prior to takeoff within minutes of the chartered plane's clearance to.the runway. The er pointed out that requirements are stiffer for non-scheduled planes. Cluck answered Flood's refusal to fly the plane with the contention that at the last minute flood was switched to co-pilot duies because he had not been checked out in the cross-country route.

"Therefore, we feel his reasons for declining to fly were inspired I tom art Hope and is well Watermelon Year Around in Home of Mrs. Hamilton Its watermelon every day at the home of Mrs. S. R. Hamilton 4 miles east Patmos.and just to prove it she brought a couple of 25-pounders to town today.

Allies Demand Soviet Count of War Prisoners Washington, Jan.

4 Western powers, in a sharp counterblow to Communist propaganda charges, have demanded an exact count of German war prisoners still hold in the Soviet union. Under a four-power agreement, all. prisoners of war were to have been sent home by the end of 1948. Russia has been claiming that many former German soldiers are being held as phony "volunteer" workers in the Western zones of Germany. The United States, France and Britain gave their answer to that charge yesterday.

4 Autopsies were ordered today to determine if smog conditions' in adena during the New Year's Tournament of Roses caused the death of seven persons. Coroner Ben Brown said he wanted to learn whether the deaths, originally attributed to heart attacks, could be compared to those which occurred in last year's smog tragedy at Donora, Pa. Autopsies will reveal whether carbon-monoxide or other poisonous gases contributed to heart failure. However, the Los Angeles county smog control district, set up last year to combat industrial fumes and smoke, said the area's smog on New'Year's day was light compared to conditions last autumn. The police emergency hospital at Pasadena treated 32 persons for heart attacks and 33 for fainting on Saturday, but reported the number not unusual for Ihc crowd of 1,500,000 which filled tho city for the annual parzde and Rose Bowl football game.
