j Britain Stands 50-50 On Steel ram By DEWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst Britain’s socialist government has won a doubtful parliamentary victory. It narrowly defeated the Conservative attempt to compel its downfall over the controversal steel nationalization program. This attack was led by former Prime Minister Winston Churchill in best fighting form. It was pre cipitated by the government’s an nouncement that it would assume control of the country’s vital steel industry on January 1. Churchill made a motion which in effect called for condemnation of this program, and Attlee an nounced that his government would stand or fall on the vote. Result Significant The significance of this battle lies in the closeness of the result. The Socialists won by only six votes—306 to 300. This represent ed an all-out effort by both sides, and involved routing ill members of Commons out of bed to attend the session. This means that the country also is almost equally divided (or was at the time of the general election last February) over the question of steel nationalization. That was the major issue of the election, in which Attlee sought a mandate for his program and got it by a hair’s breadth. Churchill naturally made the most of this almost fifty-fifty division of the country, and ac cused the Socialists or using their slender margin to “knock the other half” about. As a matter of fact there have been reports that some of the socialist leaders, in cluding Attlee himself, haven’t been too happy about the opposi tion to the steel program. Social ist doctrinarians, however, have insisted on going the limit in na tionalization. Industries Differ Steel nationalization in Eng land of course is in a different category from other industries, barring coal. Steel production is the very heart of the country’s economy in normal times, and is doubly so now that the nation is in the midst of the great defense program. Naturally this situation brings BSU to Hold Ice Cream Party for New Students An ice cream party will be given by the B. S. U. at the Baptist Stu dent Center in College Station Fri day night at 7 p. m. This will be the first B. S.U. social this year. Its purpose is to introduce the B. S. U. to freshmen. All Baptist students are invited for fun and fellowship. out the most vigorous of the ideol ogies arguments pro and con. The Socialists reiterate that control of this great industry by capital ists is a menace to the national interests. The opposition retorts that this is no time to remove directors who for years have been running tlfe steel industry success fully, and replace them by govern ment direction. In short, this bitter battle is the euitome of the political dif ferences between socialism and capitalism. Obviously it will have to be ironed out before the gov ernment can claim a clear mandate from the almost equally divided electorate to go “all out” in in augurating socialism. Another Election Prime Minister Attlee presum ably has this in mind, for he is said by informed sources to plan another general election early next year. This would be after steel nationalization is effective and the rearmament program is going full steam. It would give the electorate a wide open chance to declare it self. The next general election will provide an interesting showdown, not only as regards steel but in connection with other socialist programs which the country has experienced. The hotly disputed virtues of socialized medicine, for example, will be ironed out, along with heavy taxation and the high cost of living. By that time the nation will be in much better position to give a studied verdict on the socialism experiment as a whole.

I think it’s time he received some recognition. “Makeup men are creators in every sense of the word. Many of them are fine sculptors and paint ers.

Why not pay up now and avoid unnecessary and embarass- ing situations? In Passing . . . @ Wednesday night The Battal ion held a “coffee hour” program to enlist the help of freshmen in producing your paper. While giv ing a “pep” talk to these prospec tive journalists, one of the manag ing editors was telling of the many “firsts” which The Battalion had gained. From somewhere in the room the fact was mentioned that along with having the top safety section in the nation, etc., the Batt also has the best coverage of news of College Station in the nation. Maybe the boys are quick at realizing the importance of the city department or maybe they came to sympathize with us for such a poor joke, but nevertheless a fine bunch of eager Freshmen asked to become a part of the city department. © We were rather amused with the result of a heated argument at the city council meeting last Tuesday night. The matter of giv ing the same name to Jersey and Kyle Streets was proposed as a rather routine matter. Councilman Bob Halpin thought the name should be Kyle all the way through since more people lived on Kyle than Jersey. J. A. Orr came back with the argument that the street had been known as Jersey for a long time and should not be changed. Motions were made and voted upon, but no one seemed to agree on anything. Finally some one tried a motion which read simply, “The names of Kyle Street and Jersey Street shall remain un changed.” The motion passed una nimously. 1. Cut down overlapping unnecessary committees. 2. Concentrate under one com mittee the field which properly be longed to that committee. So Congress, under the act, re duced 33 Senate standing commit tees to 15 and the 48 House com mittees to 19. And many special committees were wiped out. Congress has stuck very closely to its new committee setup. True, new batches of sub-committees of the standing committees have sprung up. Some critics of Congress point to that and say it’s just a dodge by congressmen to have the same old special committees under an other name. But some of those keeping close check on how the reorganization act wo rife, argue this way: “Maybe there are too many sub committees. But at least each of them, attached to a standing com mittee, is working in the field of that main committee and not going off into some other committee’s domain.” Some other parts of the reor ganization act have helped Con gress. For example: Some com mittee staffs — but certainly not all—have been strengthened with experts to help the committees do a more intelligent job. Reds Reverse Boy Meets Girl San Francisco—UP)—“Boy meets girl” was a theme which the old China discouraged in favor of ar ranged marriages. In Red China it’s different. “Young men and women who fall in love should be encouraged to cultivate their friendship and affection on the basis of work, study, and common revolutionary ideals,” declares Teng Ying-chao, vice-president of the All-China Democratic Women’s Federation, according to a broadcast by the Peking (Peiping) radio. British Hide Paintings, Hiders Die, Lost Art Hong Kong—(A*)—T h e British buried 25 valuable paintings when the Japanese seized Hong Kong early in the war—and the paint ings may have to stay buried* Austin Coates, assistant colonial secretary, said three men buried the paintings in the grounds of the governor’s residence. Only they knew where. All three men died. Each be lieved the other two would tell where the pictures were buried. A search of government files has afforded no clues. ups for the historical period and the dramatic effect. “The art of makeup is more than ! just slapping on some coloring and j a beard. The makeup man has to know the psysiognomy of the face; he must know about all the mus cles and which ones sag with age. “He must also know what hap pens to the faces of different types. For example, an outdoor man would have a leathery face with white furrows in his fore head. A barroom bum would have a white face with dark furrows in his forehead.” Makeup men are career insur ance for character actors, Corey said. During 1950 alone, he has portrayed a sun-baked Indian, a grizzled frontiersman, a working man, a New York cop, and has just started a role as a bearded Mos lem. Can’t Recognize Him “In some roles, I have so much makeup on that you can’t recognize my real face,” he said. “In that way the public doesn’t get to tired of my face and I can play as many roles as I want.” The actor said that movie make up men have reached the height of a craft that began in the sixth century B. C. in the days of Thes pis, presumed originator of drama, Greek actors sought ways to pro ject themselves to the balcony seats.

Jap Girls Remain Faithful To GI Boy Friends at War By HAL BOYLE (Advance) Korea-UP)-One day on a hillside north of Taegu I was talking with a group of doughboys about their dapanese^girl Mends. ^ ^ ^ ^ 30 of Ameri . can troops who have spent much time m Japan have set up some kind of arrangement with a Japanese girl There is something endlessly touching and pcithetic these romances between our_ occupation forces and the wom en of an alien land and alien culture. Many > ef lect only- male opportunism. But others reflect the hunger ot lonely and troubled men for stability and love. i The odds are against these impromptu housekeeping setups ever ripening into permanence. There are many barriers to cross. But it is amazing how often the unions have developed into deep and genuine paitnei ships which the soldiers themselves seek to perpetuate by Christian mar riage. 1 1 “One thing about a Japanese girl—once she falls for you she will stay faithful,” said one soldier on the hillside. “I don’t worry about that as much as the guys who have girls back in the states.” • “Japanese girls don’t try to ditch. It was from a girl who gold-dig you,” a young private worked in a Tokyo cabaret, and said. apparently a rear area sergeant “They’re willing to give more had been trying to two-time the than they get. They don’t ask private. anything of you.” “Some sergeant told me you Rather shyly he pulled out a let- dyed,” she wrote in quaint pidgeon ter and handed it to me. Just then English,” so I thought you dyed an enemy sniper opened up on our and I prayed to G'ot and present position and I had to read the let- fruits and beer to your ghost yes- ter lying face down in a nearby terday. Then Your Letter Came “But your letter come today. I trust nobody except you. “Please come back to anywhere in Japan. I’ll try best to find you. You saying you want know way for send money for me but I can’t tell you about money because you fighting for peace. I don’t have any hope except you.” And then she told her absent lover: “We can look only one things together. Do you know what? That is moon. Always look at sky and remember. “I’m surely will be nice girl and waiting for you. You forget me. I’m worry one things only — if somethings happen you. I pray your safety and good lucky.” She signed it with her love. When the sniper’s fire had lifted I handed the letter back to the pri vate and he silently put it in the pocket over his heart. Then he picked up his rifle and went back to his business. War is strange and peace is often strang er. But unless the gods of battle send a bullet through that letter I feel sure the private’s little caba ret girl will fare better than did Madame Butterfly when this noisy time is past.

North Gate Phone 4-1145 Hardware Furniture Gifts Much deliberation and thoughtful planning is involved in moving one of these chessmen. People who play this game spend many hours contemplat ing the next move. Often a player finds his move has proved futile, and frequently he discovers his play has cost him the game. In chess, we are not always able to foresee the move that lies ahead. If we lose, we merely chalk one up for the other side and forget about it. But in another more serious game we are not able to treat our failures so lightly. In the game of life, we cannot deliberately ignore and forget our errors. In life also, we are faced with our inability to foretell the correct move, but here the outcome is more important. This is why we must put our faith in something greater, something more sure than mere human speculation. We who live in the Christian era are blessed with great gifts of inspiration and guidance—the Bible and the Church. Through them our lives may be made victorious.
