Senator William Langer of Muth

overture by President Trunaan
might improve relations with the
Sowet Union. Langer said Mr.
Truman might, as he put it, "pidk
up a telephgne and .Call Joe Stalin,
arrange a meeting and get this
matter of fear which each country
has for the othe r out of the road."
Then with fear of war removed,
Langer felt that both countries
could r e'd e their spending
sharply.
WASHINGTON The Senate

The House has Voted a six bil
lion dollar reduction in President

lion dollars.. But the figure finally
approved by Congress prbbably
will be a compromise worked out

SayS Present Problem 'Cannot Be Solved
If Reich Is Ruled By Three Nations
`Tverywhere else in the World, the people are afraid of another
war, butt the Ger Man people are not allraid--ithey are hoping for an
other velar," said Erika Mann, auithorests and daughter of the late
Thomas Mann, in her recent Community Forum lecture in Schwab
Auditorium.
"Low Morale, lack of food a
fear of Comimunism are innjortant
the rest of Europe, or the rest- of
the world," she continued.
The only difference which is
labelled exclusively Germany, ac
cording to the lecturer, is that
Germany rather thin fearing an
other war, hopes for it.
Three Rulers
"As long as partitioned Ger_
many continues to be ruled by
three sets of congregations, the
German problem cannot be
solved," Miss Mann said.
She believes that the German
problem can be solved only if it
is "the fruit or Allied unity."
"There as everywhere on earth
everything depends on whether
the Western democracy and Rus
sia can come to terms," the news
paperwoman said.

Bunch of Farmers
Says Brat
It was fine to be home for a
week-end, thought the study
weary history major as he relaxed
with a coke in the drug store of
his hometown between semesters.
One year, he mused happily,
and his life work of teaching his
tory and economics in a high
school or college would begin.
Suddenly he became aware of
a small boy, prdbably eight or
nine years old, staring at him
through thick_lensed glasses, his
head tilted in curiosity.
"Do you go to college?" he
asked the student.
"Yes, I do," the future profes
sor replied.
"Where do you go to college?"
"Penn State."
"Oh,' said the little lad, relax
ing with a gap-tbothed grin,
"you're going to be a Warmer,
aren't you?"

Still Nazi
"Nazi Germany—and it is still

emphasized, "is waiting for 'Der

Last year the American tax
payer spent $200,000,000 on Ger

pointed out. This year she esti
mates that $300 ; 000,000 „ will be
spent. And her remark to all this
is, "The Germ ms don't appreciate

"Gerrnans d o not respect the
