ment bureau before they can contemplate the
construction of new enterprises. When the war
ends, U. S. farmers from the Atlantic to the
Pacific will see new stores opening up ready
filling out application forms and turning in
reports.
This is but sample of the difference be-
tween a government planned existence and
capitalistic freedom. Under one, the people
wait upon a government that may never act
Under the other they go ahead, driven by
competition and the spirit of experiment, to
new fields. Under one, they grow. Under the
other they stop growing to wait-for death.

Public Understands

A transcontinential train recently pulled into
a Pacific coast city twelve hours late. Pas
sengers missed connections to many points
The last halliday on the train they hac little
or nothing to eat as the dining car ran out OF
food
You would have thought carstic remarks
about railroad service would have flown thick
and fast But traveller on that train salo
mot one word of criticism did l hear. For
1900 miles we had been passing endless
freight trains and troop trains. The travellers
all seemed to realize that their affairs were
secondary and that the railroads were doing
a Herculean job, in keeping that volume OF
war traffic moving on schedule, and at the
same time meeting the needs Of civilians. F"
The failure to complain about the railroads
was a demonstration of public understanding
and appreciation of the unprecedented diff
cUlties the railroads are overcoming as they
carry both the war and domestic traffic OF
the nation American industries and American
citizens meet emergencies when put to the
test.

Fatal Loquacity

It occurred to Us, during the dying days OF
the Third Reich, that escape for many Of the
Nazi big shots might not have been too diff
cult. Not by elaborate hideaways or Sub
marines to Japan, either. What we thought,
could be simpler than adding or subtracting
whiskers and glasses, dying or shaving hair,
putting on a Wehrmacht private's uniform or
nondescript clothes, and joining the anonymous
thousands of bedraggled, confused homeless
soldiers and civilians?
Well Heinrich Himmler tried it. He almost
got away with it, too The fact that ne dldn
can be credited partly to British Army lntelll-
gencv and general alertness. But another rea-
son was that Himmler suffered to the end from
a notorious Nazi failing: he couldn't keep his
mouth shut
The fact that he was perhaps the most hated
man in the world seems not to have occurred
to him. He was big shot, even though his big
ness may lie in the fact that he seems destined
to be mentioned from now on in the same
breath with Attila the Hun. So he had to end
his masquerade and proclaim to his captors,
II am Heinrich Himmler''-as if it were act.
ually something to be proud OF.
All the conflicting stories of Adolf Hitler S
death by some of his associates lend CREDIBLE
ity to the notion that he is still alive. Perhaps
he made an escape similar to Himrnler's. But
if he is still alive, there will come day when
he cannot longer resist the temptation to shoot
off his mouth And then he'll be doomed, where
ever he is.

Intolerance

Never in the history Of this nation have
members of the medical profession and the
sciences had to spend so much time discus
SIM matters of political significance. Some
lock upon the distraction Of these men from
their worl, as sign of progress, OF social
scientific studies have been diluted with po-
litical controversy; it has always been con-
sdered blight. Why is it so different now?
History books record the barbaric dogmas
and autocratic oppression that hampered the
great mer of science in ages past. We all
realize that mankind would be far ahead OF
where it is today if intolerance had not inter-
fered with2 the tree pursuit of scientific
research. For over century, science in this
country has worked in uninterrupted freedom.
Medical men in the United States, up to now,
have never had to give a thought to political
questions. Their efforts conferred one-hundrd
per cent on the technical business of making
people healthy. They have felt secure in their
freedom, under our form of government-so
secure that they are stunned when they realize
the picture has changed and that government
is no longer a protection, but a menace.
Proposals to make government the master
Of nndcine in a blind grab for a medical
Utopia, are simply a form Of intolerance.
The age-old struggle of science against ignor-
ance and abuse is raging again-and we call
Il social progress!

End Of The Honeymoon?

There is some reason to fear that our ideo.
logical honeymoon with Russia may be over,
now that the war in Europe is won And the
reason for that fear comes not directly from
Moscow, but from a one-sided literary spat
between jacques Duclos, edi or of the French
magazine Gathers d, Commuaisme, and Earl
Browder, read of the American Communist Po-
litcal Association and editor OF the Daily Work
er.
M Duclos recently wrote lengthy attack on
Mr.. Brcwders policy of cooperation with this
government, his wartime liberation OF private
enterprise mis- condemnation Of wartime strikes
espousal of national unity, and other backshd-
ings from Marxism which the Duclos article
labeled false concepts and erroneous con-
clrsiors."
The New York WorldTelegram published ex-
cerpts from. the article in translation and ap-
parentIy forced the Daily Worker into printing
the full Duclos text, together with an introduce
ton by Mr.. Browder.
It was this introduction that was disturbing.
Mr.. Browder didn't even put on the gloves, let
alone fight back Rather he was meek as
Moses.
He said the article demands our respect
full consideration" He spoke OF formulating
clear perspective for the coming period OF new
storms along lines laid down by M Duclos.
He stated, 1T has been clear at all times that
the end of the war in Europe would require a
fund amental review of all problems of Ameri-
can Marxists.'
All of which seems rather omlnous. 1t
wouldn't seem so if this were just dispute
between two non-Russian Communist leaders.
But if past history is criterion, M. Duclos' S
attack and Mr.. providers swift retreat are
part of policy originating in Moscow.
We devortly hope that this assumption is
wrong. American-Soviet friendship is indispens-
able to world peace And that friendship has
been subjected to enough strain in the last
month without the American Communists open
ing a real breach with a return to the revolu-
tionary and obstructionist tactics which they
used before Germanys attack.
It seems 1ndisputable that the Moscow gov
eminent has more to win by maintaining friend
ship with this country on a political live-and
let-live basis than it has in permitting Mr.
Browder to resume the program which, before
the war, was clearly Moscow inspired and
which was the chief reason for Russia'a I'M
popularity with the American people.
The majority OF Americans want to under
stand Russia and be friends with her. But we
think that the majority Of Americans are also
coming to feel that little more show Of under
standing and friendliness on MoscoWs part
would be welcome and exceedingly helpful.

WASHINGTON CALLING
t)V
MARQUIS CH1LDS

WASHINGTON The way in
which President Truman's Cabinet
shake up has been received, both
here and in the country, is indica-
ton that Congress is likely to ap-
prove the Presidents request f o r
broad powers of reorganization.
It was during his labors as chair
man of the Senate's Defense In
vestigating Committee that Truman
became thoroughly familiar wi h
the unwieldy, top heavy structure
of the federal government. Sew
eral committee reports signed by
Truman were sharply critical OF
government organization, or lack
of it.
The Republicans last fall fasten-
ed on certain Truman committee
quotations in an attempt to convict
the Roosevelt war administration
of incompetence and inefficiency
by their own words. But Truman
never hesitated to pass out criti-
cism where he thought it was due.
Some of the comment on tine Cab
1net changes has been in terms OF
left and right" appraising the
political direction in which Tru-
man is moving. Such considerations
were decidedly secondary in h e
-choices made by the President.
believe he is honestly interested in
getting good men to do RESPONSE
BILE job.
The appointment of Lewis B.
Schwellenbach to be Secretary Of
Labor is excellent. He knows Cap
itol Hill, he knows the government
downtown and he now has a limited
| judicial experience.
In the long talks that Truman
had with his old friend Schwellen-
bach-they were junior senator's to-
gether-the President said he in
tended to restore to the Labor De-
partment all the powers that had
slipped away during the long ten
ure of Secretary Frances Perkins.
This was one Of the arguments he
used in persuading his friend to
give up a lifetime federal iudgeship
and come to Washington.
The War Labor Board will be
put in the Department of Labor.
Other powers will be restored. Then
as the President expressed it to
Schwellenbach, the new secretary
will have full responsibility. No one
will be permitted to cut in between
him and the White House, as has
happened so often in the past.
The new Secretary Of Agriculture
Representative Clinton Anderson
of New Mexico, will likewise begin
under suspicious circumstances. He
was made an excellent record in
the House. Almost everyone agrees
that the special committee investi-
eating the current food crisis, of
which Anderson is chairman, has
sought to do thorough, objective
job.
Anderson. through his committee,
has pointed out many of the weak
spots in the present system of food
controls. Wisely, he will push that
investigation through to final con.
clusion. Then it will BIZ up to him,
with full powers over food concen.

culture, to move quickly to bring
some order into the disorganized
food picture.

assurance. Perhaps this is because
it is linked with reports that, at
the instigation of Chairman Rob-
ert flanagan, Oscar r. Ewing,
vice chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, is to be ap-
pointed solicitor general-replacins
Charles Fahy, who will move on to
a court appointment.
According to one report, Biddle
might have stayed on at the De-
partment of Justice if he had been
willing to approve Ewing. Before
the death of President Roosevelt,
Biddle had his own candidate for
solicitor general. Hugh Cox, one OF
Biddle's assistants in the Depart
ment of Justice. Judge Samuel
Rosenman was President Roose-
veT's candidate for solicitor gen.
eral AS an alternate Roosevelt
proposed Assistant Secretary of
welt proposed assistant Secretary OF
State Dean Acheson. Shortly be-
fore the Presidents death, Acheson
had agreed to accept the post.
The office of solicitor general,
second only to that of attorney gen.
eral, is additionally non-political
office. This has not always been
true in the strictest sense.
But the position has been custo-
marily reserved for a lawyer Of
outstanding distinction. The solicit
tor general is the legal officer of
the executive branch, as distin-
guished from the attorney general,
who is more nearly an administra-
tive officer. Two men named SOL
icitor general by Roosevelt. Robert
H. Jackson and Stanley Reed, are
now on the Supreme Court.

CHERRIES WITH NO CHERRY

April played a strange trick with the Mo
cherries around the state. The trees were full

bearing well-formed cherries, but now it is
being discovered that the cherries have not

seeds covered with green skin, and that bodes
ill for cherry pie.-The Bentztown Bard, in
