ies for a truce and to. suggest a trustee-

Carl had warned the General As-
last November that chaos and vio-
e would result if partition were not
mpanied by enforcement. Now he re-
newed his argument in the light of recent
developments
asked whether the Assembly was
•ed to gamble' with the lives of in-
nocent people in Palestine,” he said. “The
appeal fell on deaf ears. You were pre-
pared so to gamble; we,did gamble and
we lost. But we do not pay. You know
today who is paying ... British boys dying
at their post of duty .. the people of Pal-
estine, be they innocent or guilty, be they
Arab or Jew.”
His chief points were these: If parti-
tion was right in November, it is right to-
day, for circumstances have not changed
in the slightest. The Assembly’s Novem-
ber decision was the right thing, but it
was done in the wrong way. As a result
of that error, there is “death, bloodshed,
murder, outrage and agony in Palestine.”
As a further result, the Assembly is

If the UN member nations are willing
to take their proportionate part in enforc-
ing a trusteeship, he^aid, then by any logi-
cal basis they should be willing to do the
same for partition. This is a test, he con-
cluded, and the future of the UN and of
the world may depend upon the way in
which it is decided.
We do not think that Sir Carl’s warn-
ing is in any way exaggerated. One only
needs to recall the League of Nation’s his-
tory to find a frightening parallel. The
League had almost as much machinery for
stopping aggression as the UN. But in the
great tests the major powers hesitated to
use that machinery for reasons of national
policy, or through fear of war.
The so-called “Manchurian incident” in
1931 was an example, when Britain, es-
pecially, hesitated to offend Japan too
grehtly. An even better—op worse—ex-
ample is found in the Italian invasion of
Ethiopia in 1935.
Britain led the League up the hill and
down again, as America did with the UN
in the Palestine matter. It favored sanc-
tions, then backed water, began to see
some justice in the Italian position, and re-
fused to enforce the embargo on the war
materials that Italy needed most.
From then on the League was finished
as a force for peace. The toleration of

LETTER FROM
WASHINGTON
By Jim E«di, A,P Staff Writer
Washington—The U; 8. Office of Vital Sta-
tistic* want* to mpke clear that it does not favor
tattooing numbers on all babies bom In this coun-
try after January 1, 1849. It seems a lot of folks
got that idea, and other ideas just as out-of-this-
world, when the Office backed a proposal for stan-
dardizing the numbering* of birth certificates In
the States.
The standardization project was generally
agreed upon by state registrars of vital statistics
in a 'work conference" sponsored by the statistics
office here in March. The idea is merely to make
the registration of ail births in the United States
“simpler, more positive and cheaper” by a stan-
dard method adopted by all the states. There
would not be a central federal file of birth regis-
trations, and the project if carried through depends
entirely on' the states’ adoption of the system.
Montana and the District of Columbia have al-
ready voiced approval of the idea and other states
are following suit, says Herbert P. Dunning, acting
chief of the Office of Vital Statistics. He says
that although there are approximately 8,750,000
births in the United States annually, it would take
more than a generation to get an appreciable por-
tion of the population included In the newly-num-
bered group. If tho project goes through it will
be done this way with three groups of figures
printed oh each birth certificate.
1. The first serial wilt consist of three figures
indicating the registration area in which a child is
born. The first figure will be the numeral 1,
which will stand for United States. The second
number, or seeond and third number, will repre-
sent the state, territory or city. (Canada uses a
similar system. Its serial numbers start with “2”.
If other nations join the system they will use "3”,
“4”, etc.)
2. The second serial will consist of two digits,
indicating the year of birth—’49— ’50— ’68 and
so on. Births are already filed and indexed by
year in most registration offices throughout the
country. 3. The third serial will list six' digits, in-
dicating whether the registration lists the first,
forteth, 600th, or 899,998th certificate to be filed
in that state within the year.
Mr, Dunning says that most people will accu-
mulate from five to 25 numbers In a lifetime any-
way—Social Security Numbers, numbers on driv-
er’s licenses, insurance policies, bank accounts and
charge accounts.

Goal of Twenty Year. Being
Reached on Flood Control Pro-
ject..
Our district is now reaping ben-
efits for whichhave fought
the past twenty years. The Civil
Functions Bill, which is now re-
ceiving approval of Congress, in-
cludes for the year commencing
July 1st $8,300,000 for the Texar-
kana Reservoir on Sulphur River;
$1,000,000 for leVee and hank
stabilization below Denison Dam,
covering Red River Valley, in Bo-
wie, Red River nnd Lamar Coun-
ties; $130,000 for planning in
connection with the Ferrell’s
Bridge Reservoir project i n
Marion County; and other im-
provements.
In addition, Congress has auth-
orized the Corps of Engineers to
make expenditures for projects
which receive their approval for
the purpose of clearing nnd snag-
ging streams under the Flood Con-
trol Act of 1937. Six of these pro-
jects in our District are now re-
ceiving active consideration. They
are: Harkman Creek, $50,090; Sul-
phur River (near Cooper), $50,-
000; Mustang Creek, $25,000; Mc-
Kinney Bayou, $50,000; and Lit-
tle Cypress River (Harrison Coun-
ty), $50,000.
Secret Hearing.
Notwithstanding the rules of
thought that the Senatg will ap-
prove the measure; if so, it will
end a 62-year period of unfair
and discriminatory taxes against
a valuable food product.
Parity Payment.
The Committee on Hnnking nnd
Currency, of which I am a mem-

of the Commodity Credit Corpo-
ration and provided for parity

Administrator Hoffman Gets
Ready to Swing Into Action
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent V
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—The big parade to Washington “to 6
* Piece of the llve-billion-dollar Marshall Plan business” is
on. It’s spearheaded by over 7000 people wanting jobs With
newest alphabetical agency—the ECA, or Economic Co^perata
Administration. But the main, attacking force is people who
surplus prunes or bulldozers to sell. Do-gooderi who just want
give expert advice *n how this thing should be run make up the
guard.
There has been nothing like this trek since the national defei
effort first got going in 1940 and 1941. Then people came to get
contracts or to offer their services as dollar-a-year men. These
peace contracts they’re after now, and nobody is offering his servi
at such pre-infla$»rt prices.
First stop for anyone coming to Washington to get something is. c I
course, his congressman's office. It’s significant that one ol the firs
things congressmen wanted to know after Paul G. Hoffman was
firmed us Economic Co-operation Administrator was. “What’s h
telephone number going to be?” Where could constituents call him up
For the first few days Hoffman was operating from his hat in
hotel room. Being fresh back from a business survey job for tl
Army in Japan, he couldn't be expected to know the Answers
European recovery.
rTHE principal free advice now being offered by interested citiz
is in the nature of. “Just leave everything in normal trade channel
Don't try to set up a big international WPA. Let private busin
handle it all."
Government planners have been agreeable to this program.' Tl
have been advising salesmen to go ahead and sell all they could, dir
to the countries needing relief. The more private business did, thl
less government would, have to do.
This, however, has not been what the first foreign aid contract
hunters have had in mind. What they want to do is sell to the U.
government. The selfish interest is more in getting a good thing fol
American business than it is in European recovery. Fighting off thil
approach to the problem will apparently be one of Hoffman's toughetf
jobs. EGA was not set up as a relief organization for America!
business.
Hoffman is the first witness as hearings get under way this weei
before Congressman John Taber’s House Committee on Appropnal
tions.
pOR expert testimony justifying the preliminary estimates on ho
the money is to be spent, Hoffman will havegllo rely on the flgurel
of State Department experts. These are the “cookie pushers if
striped pants," as they call themselves in fun.
Congress didn't wunt the State Department cookie pushers to hav$
anything to do with running the foreign aid program. But it is nov
up to these hard-working young gents who have lived with this thin
day and night for over half a year to do the first exporting.
On supplies, like railroad cars and machinery, firm orders can
placed. They will take a long time to fill. Supplies like wheat, coal
or cotton are to be allocated for three months at a time. As eondif
tions change, as new crops come in and as other sources of raw mute]
riul supply are opened up. allocations will have to be changed fron
month to month The whole program will have to be kept flexible!
Selling Congress on this idea may be difficult. Figuring where amf
how the $5,000,000,000 is to be spent as the program goes along will I
ECA's biggest job.
Administrator Hoffman has indicated he wants to keep his organizal

But watch him grow.

from having secret hearings, the
various appropriations sub-corn'
mittees of the House continue to
hold such secret hearings. Now
it is proposed that there will be a
closed hearing on the bill to ex-
tend Reciprocal Trade Agree-
ments. A government, such as our
own, is certainly setting a bad
example by permitting open and
flagrant violations and rules. It
should be remembered that the
Constitution of Soviet Russia pro-
vides for habeas corpus and gua-
rantees prompt trials, but the offi-
cials In Russia simply ignore
them. Let us not make even the
shortest, step in that direction.
