Cslightly left of center'O has lust made
clean sweep of perfectly orderly election
by secret ballot, with the Russian troops
OF occupation staying strictly out of sight
on orders from Marshal Voroshilov. In
Czechoslovakla there Is every evidence
that the government of President Benes
Is pursuing its own policies with mini
mum OF interference from the Russians
In the less orderly, or at least less
politically united, countries, it is nat
ural to find the Russians playing a
greater part. But even in these-Ro-
mania alone excepted-the trend is be-
coming clear. In Poland, by all odds
the strongest and most popular figure is
Vice Premier Mikolajczyk, who has com.
pletely reorganized his Peasants, party
gotten rid Of its Communist wing and
made 1t the leading party in the co,,n-
try.
In Yugoslavia, where Marshal Tito still
reigns supreme by virture of keeping a
huge standing army at the expense of
next years harvest, the opposition min
listers have withdrawn from the cabinet
and the pattern OF the future seems
likely to become struggle for power
along traditional Yugoslavian lines, the
immediate question being, Tito in or
Tito out. Tito's present ascendency is
not so much due to Russian support as
to the fact that the opposition is neither
united nor possessed Of . real leader.
In Bulgaria, like Poland, there is an
agrarian leader, Petkoff, who appears
to be the man around whom the demo-
cratic elements In the country are
uniting.
A few months ago the Russians might
have been expected to be more active In
support of the Communist parties in all
these countries. But they are realists.
They are willing to learn from expert
ence. They are much troubled by the
hatred of the Red Army in many occu-
pied areas, due to the looting and lack
Of discipline Of some of the Russian
troops They are likewise troubled by
the complete incapacity for government
which mas been displayed by the local
Communists in most cases-Tito ex-
cepted, if one can accurately call Tito
q Communist And the Russian GI
wants to 60 home just as badly as the
American CT. Don't imagine that Stain
doesn't have to pay attention to things
Of that sort. He does, indeed.

Red Tide Seen TURNING
By Maj. Georse Fieldine Eliot

The bogey-man of Red domination"
in Eastern Europe appears to be COL
lapsing under the hard impact of
emerging facts.
We have been told from now on
Poland, Finland, Romania, Hungary,
Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Czechoslo-
vakia will form group of Russian
puppet states, completely controlled
from Moscow and run in accordance
with the dictates of the Kremlin.
We have even been told communism
makes such great appeal to the
people of these countries, in contrast
to western democracy, that they are
completely sold on it-and if they don't
stay sold, the Red Army will keep them
in line.
But on the record, most of this is just
q tissue of false alarms.
Let's get it straight, because the
average American has the idea firmly
fixed in his mind that the Russians
have taken over all this territory, and
a sneaking suspicion that some day
they may want to 60 farther. That idea
and that suspicion lie at the back of
most Of our international troubles. We
are so suspicious of the Russians that
we cannot treat them fairly and frank
ly. We say things that make them
even more suspicious of us. And so
the central necessity for stable world
cooperation, based on confidence,
between the American British group
and the Soviet Union-has not been
attained.
~ X
The overall conditions In all these
countries suggest sharp decline in
Russian influence instead Of its grow
ing power.
In the countries where there are
well-established governmental institu-
tions and reasonable degree Of po-
litical experience Finland, Hungary
and zechoslovakia-the Russian in
fiuence has waned most rapidly, and
the evidence of Russian withdrawal
from interference in local affairs Is
most evident. There is even evidence
that Russian policy is shifting toward
placating the democratic elements rath-
er than coercing them on behalf Of
the Communists.
Thus in Finland payment of repara-
tions to Russia has been extended from
six to eight years. a matter Of immense
importance In Finlands recovery. IN

Help Needed in the South

To the Editor of The Star:
The immience of widespread mech
anization in cotton production, and
the generally insecure position of South
ern sharecropper families now and fol-
lowing the reconversion period, present
many problems for rural areas which
during the next few months will be
difficult for adjustment.
In some sections, due to delays and
uncertainties incident to the return of
peacetime economy, the present un-
happy situation for many Negro farm
families will probably reach its most
acute stage during the coming winter
months.
For many years. Tuskegee Institute
has served as a medium for receiving
gifts of clothing and other necessities
and distributing them to disadvantaged
and INDECENT families. Already appeals
from such families have been received
by us for clothing for children entering
school which indicates that at Christmas
time children in such homes will be
denied pleasures of the holiday season
to which they SO eagerly and hopefully
yearn. The empty Christmas stocking
may represent an economic principle,
but to them it is fearful and tragic
disappointment.
Our field workers who serve in rural
areas tell many heart-warming stories
of how gifts sent in the past by devoted
friends have dispelled the chill and
spiritual depression of poverty stricken
homes and helped to mend the family
ties so often weakened when severe want
exists.
We, therefore, solicit discarded cloth
ing, shoes, books, toys, pictures and
other such articles for our annual dis
tribution. Many friends prefer to send
money. All gifts are used with utmost
care and discretion to reach the neediest
and most deserving families.

President, Tuskegee Institute, Tuske-
gee Institute, Ala.

declares, "the tools of science car
conceivably provide for its attain

of organized common sense" is not
naturally perverse. On the contrary,
the force of intelligence which has
disintegrated the atom ought to be
competent to integrate the confusion
which thus has been created. Ger
tainly, it is duty to try. The pitiful
situation of the human race in this
vital moment of its age-long ordeal

Letters to The Star
Argues That Experience Supports

Decentralization Principle
To the Editor OF The Star:
The burden of proof rests upon the
proponents of the radical proposal to
combine the War and Navy Depart
ments and integrate our armed forces
into one organization with single
commander at its head
To date the public has not been
vouchsafed any bill of particulars set
ting forth palpable defects in the plan
evolved during World War II for guild
ing us to complete and early victory,
namely, joint chiefs of staff with
unified command in each theater of
operations.
To promote our national interests in
peacetime, we have created separate
departments of Treasury, Interior, Agri-
culture, Commerce and Labor, and it
is difficult to conceive that the func-
tions of these agencies could be better
performed if they consolidated into
one organization.
To the contrary, Congress, in spite
of the fact that these departments cover
the whole field of national life, has
deemed it wise to create numerous in
dependent agencies in order, to deal
effectively with specific problems in the
field of transportation, housing, rural
electriflcation, flood control, etc.
Likewise in the field of private indus
try, experience has proved that admin
istrative efficiency is achieved through
decentralization. The United States
Steel Corp for example, has created
numerous autonomous subsidiary cor
porations to manufacture wire rope,
pipe, bridges, ships, oil-well equipment
coal, cement, etc.

The CIO and its Political Action
Committee have discovered - again.
that it is one thing to back a popular
Democrat like the late President Roose-
welt and win and quite another to put
forward a candidate of its own, like
Richard T. Frankensteen, and hope for
victory, even though Mr.. Frankensteen
had democratic support in the recent
mayoralty election in Detroit. It's a
lesson that may become increasingly
clear as time goes on.
Mayor Jefries, who defeated Mr..
Frankensteen by upward of $1,000
votes, was running as non-partisan
candidate for his fourth term, but it
is well understood that the Republicans
rallied to his support. He has never
had to declare party affiliation, since
the mayoralty elections in Detroit are
held on non-partisan basis. The
closest Mayor Jeffries has come to any
declaration was when he made a speech
last year, opposing the late President
Roosevelt for fourth term, on the
ground that no man should aspire to
so many terms in the White House.
Another thing that was rammed
home to CIO consciousness in the De-
troit election was its inability to get
the American Federation unionists to
back its candidates. One AFL union
is reliably reported to have put $46 900
into the campaign to defeat Mr.. Frank
ensteen.
The defeat of the CIO in Detroit also
is regarded here-and in Michigan-as
forerunner of victory for Senator
Vandenberg. Republican, when he comes
up for reelection next year. The CIO,
it is expected, will undertake to defeat
the Michigan Senator
Senator Vandenberg, however is not
only extremely popular with the voters
of his State, but the Democrats and the
CIO have no politically strong candi-
date in sight with whom to oppose him.
IT he is reelected, as it is now con-
f1dently predicted he will be, Senator
Vandenberg will loom large on the 1s4s
horizon. He is not q candidate for the
presidential nomination, but that does

he batted home Mayo Smith with
