Pact Signed;
Israel Has
New Peace
by Ruth Lenkoski
United States
Last Monday at a gathering of
twelve Foreign Ministers in Wash
ington the Atlantic Pact was signed.
The document will not become ef
fective until it has been ratified by
all seven of the original drafters:
the United States, Canada, Britain,
France, Belgium, The Netherlands,
and Luxembourg.
In this country it is believed that
President Truman will press the rati
fication, although there is doubt
that any early action will be taken
in the Senate, which is already
flooded and behind schedule with
domestic measures.
Along with the comments upon
the historic significance of the pact-
signing was one comment of Repre
sentative Dwight Rogers of Florida
who pointed out the fact that the
signing of the North Atlantic Pact
overlooked a signal point—there
was no prayer.”
China
Peace talks between Chinese Com
munists and Nationalists have begun
in Communist-occupied Peiping, Gov
ernment leaders in the Nationalist
party talk hopefully of peace but
the military men disagree on the
basis that the Communists will soon
be crossing the Yantze in pursuit
of Nanking.
Whatever the outcome may be, the
present atmosphere in Peiping is
notably gloomy.
Island of Rhodes
On April third King Abdullah’s
Trans-Jordan, Israel’s most power
ful foe in the Palestine conflict,
signed an armistice with the Jew
ish state. Such negotations are be
lieved to have virtully liquidated
the Palestine war. The armistice is
valid for one year and is renewable.
In taking this action Trans-Jordan
was also negotiating in behalf of
Iraq and will take over Iraq-held
armistice lines in Northern Pales
tine. This leaves only Syria as an
active combatant with whom Isra,el
has yet to negotiate. The Israelis-
Syrian meetings began on Tuesday.

Salemites Interview Gramley
Gramley Interviews Salemites
After a whole day of re-making
the front page of the Salemite, of
frantically hunting for pictures, of
writing new stories at the last
minute, and all with a green staff,
we were anxious to meet the man
who had thrown us into this state
of turmoil—Dale H. Gramley.
Tliree of us were to interview the
man of the hour on campus. After
frantically getting dressed in an ef
fort to look like budding Dorothy
Thompsons we rushed over to the
Public Relations Office for our pri
vate interview.
Two of us were talking, when the
third one came in bearing Salemites.
That led our conversation around
to the newspaper problems rather
than personal facts about Mr. Gram-
toy. Soon we found that we had
discussed everything from the diffi
culty in writing one line heads to
linotype machines breaking.
l^r. Gramley mentioned that he
flight teach a course in journalism
l>ere at Salem if there were enough
people interested. He also said that
tests had proved that work on col
lege publications had a more last-
dale h. gramley
ing effect in later careers than any
other extra-curricula activity. Nat
urally, this set us to patting our
selves on the back.

For two hours Sunday afternoon! (
Salem campus was the background
for a number of pictures featuring
Jane Frazier in old surroundings.
Pictures in her room, outside the
dining hall, in classrooms, at, Mem
orial Hall, and at many favorite
spots on campus were taken to illu
strate an article labout Jane which
will appear in the newspapers of
large cities throughout the country.
This article, the story of an as
piring young singer, will appear in
one of the Sunday supplements com
piled by The Metropolitan Opera
Group of New York City, for the
Sunday editions of newspapers in
144 leading cities. The opportunity
for such publicity, both for Jane
and for Salem, was made possible
by Mr. Jack Starr, son of our own
Mrs. Nell Starr, and one of the
editors of these Sunday supplements.
Through his influence Salem has
taken a big step forward in her
effort to gain recognition.
