EUROPEAN STRIKES Europe 1s having a wave or strikes_ which 80118 think may be the long expected drive ot' the Connunists against the Marshall Plan - the Red 11 SUDlller offensive. 11 Nearly a million workers are out 1n England and on the continent. The port ot . London was paralzyed today by a walkout or dock workers. In the Thames, more than a hundred ships were waiting to be unloaded - many or them craaed with perishable tOOdatutta, in danger of spoiling. rn France, there are strikes 1n the rubber, 11eea1, aircraft and automobile industries. · In Belgium, a quarter or a million steel, iron and shipyard wol'kers are out. In Ital.J - disturbances among agricultural workers. In Rome - a not or children, a mob of two thousand youngsters who took the municipal headquarters by storm. They streamed from the poorer quarters of the city, escorted by their mothers - and shouted their demams. They want to be sent to the seaside, to vacation camps, OD the beach. While their mothers waited outside, the children st8 ged a rush to IUROPEAN STRIKES - 2 the office or the vice-prefect of R0111e. They fought their way past policemen, who couldn't do anything about it - not wanting to harm the youngatera. In the ott1ce or the vice-prefect, the Juvenile rioters yelled their dlllallda, and -t(J-~~#. retu.■ed to leave - wit11 ,If•-~ i.d giYen t._ a written pl'Olliae that they would be sent to vacat1an CIIIPI on the seashore. PALESTINE Prom P alestine, we hear of opposition to any proposal to extend the present truce in the Holy Land_ opposttton? " the Government of Israel. Count Bemadotte, the u.1. mediator, has proposed that the armistice be extended tor another IIOllth, or even 1ndef1n1tely - 1n order to gain more time tor the ettort to arrange a permanent peace. But the report ta that a0111e leaders 1n the goven■ent or Israel are opposed to any such extension, becauae they tear G2--~-~ that an armistice might be prolonged beyond the,J>N11dent1al election. They are said to think that it ta 1n the 1ntere1t or the Jewish state to have the truce end, and have a peace . parley decision made - betore a new Aaer1can president 11 chosen. A United press dispatch from Tel Aviv expla1nl t.hat this opinion 1 8 based on the assU11ption that there•e a better chanc 9 of American support for the Jewish state - while the political campaign 1s on.-'letter tor Israel, that ts, while the parties and the candidates are looking for votes. Meanwhile, Israel today informed count Bernadotte pALBSTINE - 2 ott1c1ally that Israel 1a ready to send delegates to the peace conference at Rhodes next week. WHISTLE STOP enator R obert Taft or Ohio 1s known aa the atrong-m1nded statesman, who says what he thinks - and never mind the consequences.

So now the repl181 ~ 111) Ed Landro, Preaident ot the Challber ot caa1roe at · c,3,k;.,) POcatello, replies that apparently the Senator baa never A been 1n pocatello. In ract, nobody by tbe DBM ot fttt 1ia8 • been 1h Pocatello aince Nineteen Et.ght, when President Tatt, the Jenator•s rather, v1111ted~, and he didn't oall . any Whistle Stop - and that was torty years ago.

The Democratic Rational COIIDittee reports that it has not yet heard troll a IIUlber ot other towns 1n which Pl'es1dent Truaan blasted Congre11. Th••• include Chicago, Los Angeles, and san Pranciaco. STopa which are still to be heard trom. Vhiatle w ~ 11, thi rig s like that have happened 1il po11t1ca before. The one I remember best 1s the ramous crack made by a Republican stand-pat senator trcn an eastern state, who described the western insurgent Republicans of the Coolidge era as - " aons or the wild jackass." That made a lot of westerners hot under the collar, to the Senator's discomfort. VIISTLE STO P - 4 Well, 1t 1 s Qod•s own country, the great open spaces - aild 1t would be moat improper to speak or the eons or the nld JackaBB at the Whistle S~opa.

He Just ataply won•t stand tor it - 10 he soe• out into his back yard, picks up a rock, and let•a ri, at a speeding plane. The power or his pitching ana and tbll aharpneaa or his aiJI 1s illuatrated by the tact that recenti, several planes have landed at the airport with holes 1n the fabric of their wings and tuaelage - where they were hit by rocks. He's a human ant1-a1rcraft battery, and the Arm, had better enlist bim - if they•re thinking about bringing down hostile planes by throwing rocks. DEBATE two West int Cadets appeared - members ot the Weit Point debati team. They came to the University ror a contest ot words, meeting two Oxford debaters.
