NORTHEAST HIT
BY SEVERE COLD
By The Associated Press

Crisp, cold weather gripped the
northeastern United States last
night in the wake of snowfall
that left many areas to the west
and south still blanketed.
Light snow continued in New
England, where Montpelier, VT.
had 20 inches in mid-afternoon.
and in the Middle West, spreading
to the Great Lakes region.
Rising temperatures brought
rain to Texas. Light snow and sleet
was the outlook for Tennessee.
Steamboat service was suspend
ed to Nantucket, off New Eng
lands sleet-lashed coast, and some
bus runs were cancelled. Icecover-
ed roads remained dangerous from
New York as far west and south
to Kentucky. One death was re-
ported in upstate New York.
Eastern Pennsylvania shook Oft
snowfall that broke 50-year rec
ords, reaching 20 inches at York.
At Philadelphia, 80 sailors on leave
took up shovels at the Reading
railroad terminal
Early morning sub-zero tenn
peratures in Wisconsin, Michigan
and Minnesota mounted to the EOS
before shutdown.

can stand before his own people
without being called traitor
Mr.. Mikolajczyk is saying, I
take it, that the three powers must
decide the frontiers of Poland
both as respects the Soviet Union
and Germany and that when
they render a combined judgment.
backed by combined guarantees of
carefully worked out provisions
for the transfers and of economic
help for the new state" then there
is the best chance that there
would be no feeling of injustice
Mr.. Mikolajczyk is saying to us
that we should no longer leave the
question lin allegiance" That can
only lead to unilateral solution,
and the creation of a puppet gov
eminent. He is saying, then, that
a just solution cannot be arrived
at by voluntary agreement of all
the Poles, that the issue is one
which can be settled only if the
three powers now take the respon-
slbility of judging it and settling
it, and will then guarantee to the
new Poland assistance in meeting
its economic and other difficulties.
He is saying, in short, that the only
solution which can be acceptable
is one which is presented to the
Polish nation as a judgment by
the three great powers combined.
To render such judgment
would not, it may be argued, con-
form with the letter of the Allan
tic Charter. But surely we must
listen to this eminent Polish
salesman when he tells us, out of
his own experience, that no solu-
ton is possible which conforms to
the letter of the Atlantic Charter.
We are entitled to believe that the
solution which he proposes will not
be regarded by the majority of
Poles as so great violation of the
spirit of the charter that it is bet
ter to have no solution at all
Surely Americans can with a
good conscience let the man who
was until recently the Prime Min
lister of Poland, the man who may
still be the Prime Minister of a
united Polish government, inter-
pref for them the meaning of the
Atlantic Charter as it applies to
Poland.
Considering how urgent it Is to
settle this explosive question, we
cannot afford to be more dogmatic
about the charter than is Mr..

BUFFALO,, N. Y, Jan. 17.-P)-
A ball python at the Buffalo ZOO
has become the first of her species
to lay eggs in captivity, reptile
house keeper Frederick A. Meyer
said today.
Meyer, who discovered the snake
coiled about five three-inch eggs
yesterday, explained the ball
python is a mild-dispositioned, re-

Good Suggestion

SENATOR Arthur H. Vandenberg,
Of Michigan, discussing the re-
lationship between the United
States and the new world security
organization, suggests that this
country accept, in connection with
other American nations "the ex-
elusive responsibility for any
armed forces required to. maintain
peace and security in the Western
Hemisphere"
This suggestion will undoubtedly
meet with the approval of the peo-
pie of this country, who, as the
Senator says, do not want "any
other armed forces to enter this
area" Moreover, in view of the
general approval of regional. asso-
Citations among the nations of the
world, there seems to be solid
basis for the realization of the
Vandenberg suggestion.

| believe that history will show
that the Presidents claim will be
literally true. This may not mean
that America got the majority of
the things she wanted but rather
that what could be agreed upon was
largely the result of the Presidents
policy of insisting on a solution by
compromise rather than a STALE

The great test of Americas posi-
ton will come later. We are the
most conservative of the great

which capitalism is threatened by
attack from within more than from

British government (the only other

tenn, most observers in Washington

whose selfish interests are the
greatest threat to the system of
private enterprise.

For Cancer Research

THE ALFRED p. SLOAN Foun-
dation has made grant of
$4,000,0OO for the establishment of
a cancer research institute, to be
established in New York, for the
purpose of studying the causes of
cancer and of seeking better meth
DDS of treatment and possible
cures for the many forms of can
GER that now resist treatment.
The institute will bear the name
of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., and DR..
Charles F. Kettering, both Of
whom are connected with General
Motors Corporation, but it is point
ed out that the financing will come
from the Sloan Foundation and
that the institute will be a person
al undertaking of the two men.
inasmuch as cancers form one
of the chief mysteries of medical
science and result in the death of
a large number of Americans every
year, the establishment of this in
stitute will undoubtedly mean
much in the fight upon the disease.
The research work that it will ac-
complish will be in the interest nf
the entire world and there is no
way to estimate the good that it
might do.

History

Most Of the things that really mat
ter in your life and mine are events
that took place before we we're
born. Whether we are rugged or
frail, rich or poor, happy or miser-
able result in large part from de-
cisions and struggles that somebody
made long ago. The old saying,
Life is what you make it," is only
partly true. Life is what you make
it from what you had to begin with.
OF course men and women are
free moral agents and can do a
great deal with their own lives if
they will, but departed years in
huence every generation. They at
feet everybody more or less and
have more to do with some peoples
lives than the people themselves.
In order TO take from the past what
helps us and avoid what binders,
men have to study history and learn
its good from its bad.

Utilizing Atomic Power

THE EXPLOSION of the first
atomic bomb to destroy
Hiroshima, Japan, also Embossed
the imaginations of many people
in this country. Some are already
predicting that utilization of the
process will result in transforming
everything connected with the use
of power.
This is said without any inten-
ton of deriding the predictions
which, in some cases, will come
true some day. Nevertheless, as
William B. Stout, automotive en-
gineer, points out, long study and
experimentation lie AHEAD of any
practical application of the atom
as a source of power.
Mt. Stout admits that he expects
ito see gasoline used as long as
! live to propel automobiles, but
insists that the possibility of
atomic power means even more to
peacetime progress than to war
fare. He foresees an automobile
engine no bigger than a mans fist
and says that the future will see
ships, planes, railway trains and
other transportation propelled by
energy secured from atoms.
Mr.. Stout says it is too early to
speculate on the use of atomic
power because of the danger in
volved. Lack of knowledge of how
to control the energy of the atom
prevents the immediate utilization
of the great power but, eventually,
mankind will receive vast benefits
from its discovery and utilization.

Hospital" Ship Was
Loaded

THE JAPANESE hospital ship,
recently brought into a Pacific
port after having been seized for
carrying contraband munitions of
war, was a dirty, ill-kept vessel,
with only three doctors and sur
gical table for more than 1900
patients.
Most of the patients lad ma
laria or beri-beri but an American
medical officer estimated that
three-fourths "could be returned to
combat after brief, fresh-air treat
ment." The ship carried no battle
wounded and examination revealed
only a few men suffering from
non-incapacitating ulcers.
The ship had been observed oper-
ating in the Indies area. Over
hauled by two destroyers, the YES
sci stopped upon flag signal ana
was boarded by A American Off
GERS, accompanied by three inter-
prefers. All were unarmed and,
because of uncertainty as TO what
the Japs might do, had written
final letters to their families, to be
mailed in case the Japanese killed
them.
After about an hours inspection,
box was opened and found To

Falls Four Stories
And Lives

THE AVERAGE person, falling
from the fourth floor of build
ing, would not expect to survive a
landing on a sidewalk.
However, press dispatches relate
that three-year-old Irene Oliver, of
Cincinnati, fell from the fourth
floor to the ground and that ply
sicians could locate no injuries.
Such events are hard to explain
and this leads many people to con-
clude that the miraculous has hap
pened. However, the law of chance
operates and sometimes produces
results that are hard to believe.

Pressure On General
Franco

THE FRANdO regime, now in
power in Spain as the bene-
ficiary of Axis military assistance,
rejects as arbitrary and unjust"
the decision of the Big Three to
exclude Spain from membership in
the United Nations organization.
Undoubtedly, the indirect CON
demnation of Francois government
will produce reaction against the
dictator because the exclusion of
Spain from the organization of the
United Nations will become Sc
rious handicap if the new organiza-
ton works successfully in improv-
ing world conditions and presery-
ing peace.
While General Franco was re-
ceiving arms and munitions from
the Axis powers, the democratic
nations, in their desperate effort to
preserve peace in Europe, refused
to permit the Republican govern
ment to secure arms and ammuni-
ton from them. This handicap
was intensified when Axis troops
appeared in Spain and fought ac-
lively to establish the Franco
regime.
Francois sympathy with the Axis
nations was apparent and has been
revealed in some of the memoirs
published since the war ended.
Moreover, it is evident in the form
of government that he established
in Spain and public pronounce
ments of his government.
The Allied governments, having
successfully concluded war to re-
move totalitarian governments
from Europe, will leave their work
unfinished unless they apply all
possible pressure to bring about
the reorganization of the Spanish
Government. While no one sug-
gests a punitive expedition INTO
Spain to bring this about, the
Allies are well within their rights
in refusing to collaborate with the
Franco regime. 'iNlMM

signs of trouble is l.. nor crop.
You begin to hear a lot Of stories
most of which later will prove to
have been untrue. They may be
started by subversive groups; some
will have a grain of truth in them.
They will include tales of planned,
imminent violence; of some group
arming itself for attack or outbreak.
Then come stories of violent as
sault, crime and murder. This
creates the beginning of tension; the
group accused becomes frightened
and shows it. This lends color TO
the tales.
Then come the incidents"
Incidents usually begin 10 occur in
crowded gplaces.E They might be
passed off and forgotten if a back
ground of hate, fear and suspicion
had not been built up. AS one OBJ
server said to me: Riots always
start when, folks get out and bump
into each other"
The third point to look for when it
is clear that rumors have been
thick and incidents have begun to
happen is some subversive group
which may be promoting the trouble
for its own ends. Some of these
groups will have very high and
mighty ideals and very frequently
they will be wrapped up in the flag.
(Ku Klux, Black Legion. etc.
The fourth point to watch is crime
reports because it is really the
hooligan element which finally steps
in to do the actual rioting.
The fifth is the police attitude. If
there is evidence of increased
friendliness with the hooligan ele-
ment and of distrust of the police
by the minority group it usually
means that the tension has reached
a high point the forces of order
and the forces of disorder are max
ing common cause against the al
legged threat of the minority.
The two other danger points are
congestion, of which I spoke before
dumping into each other which
may grow out of crowded housing,
and labor conditions where the
minority protests or appears to
threaten to protest discrimination in
hiring and firing.
With these points as guide any
citizen can learn to recognize the
symptoms of danger. There are
plenty of people in any community
who know what is happening = the
people whose work takes them into
the danger zones, like social workers
and police reporters. A school teach
er can learn lot from what the
children say and do.
But long before the situation
reaches even the rumor stage there
must be emergency planning in the
community A program must be set
up in which certain groups have GER
tain definite things to do the moment
the observers" see the danger sig
nails. Here they are:
Be sure the mayor knows exact
ly what steps to take to gel the help
of the state militia. Have the clergy
men lined up TO use their influence

While President Truman was still
on the high seas en route for home,
he and his staff began the careful

ing them many details which were

They also gave out specific news
items for publication, one Of which
stated that it was largely the sug-
gestions of the American delegation

and Immediately a signal was
flashed to the destroyers which

was not completed when the ship
locked, it was carrying rifles, ma

Country Warned 10 Guard
Against Race Disturbances
Insecurity in Reconversion Period May Be
Cause for Smoudering Resentment;
Minor Incident May Start Trouble.
By BAUKHAGE
'etUs analyst and Commentator.

There is a small group in Wash
ington very much concerned over a
matter which is a part of recon-
version and about which they can
do very little. That is the question
of race riots likely to accompany de-
mobilization.
was surprised to learn how pre-
dictable these clashes are, from the
following statement by Alfred Nc
Chung Lee in a pamphlet produced
by non-profit agency, the Ameri-
can Council of American Race Re-
lations. It was this:
The federal office of facts and
figures Qater called the Office of War
Information) had a confidential re-
port Is months before the 1913 De-
troit race riot that included this
sentence: Unless some socially con-
structive steps are taken shortly,
the tension that is developing is very
likely to burst into active conflict /"
The day after the rioting began
the Detroit Free Press stated:
1.-Two months ago everybody in De-
troit familiar with the situation knew
that race riots were inevitable"
1t is worth noting that the profess
sional observers were much farther
ahead than the newspaper and
newspaper reporters are pretty
highly trained investigators them
selves. And they did know what was
coming well in advs&e.
But the fact REMAINED that nobody
did anything about it.
And that is where you and / step
into the picture.
Now nobody but a very small
class of professional incitors of riot
want race riots anymore than any,
one but a very small class of profess
sional criminals are in favor of
crime. But most people do not
realize that these clashes can be
avoided and very few indeed realize
that they are symptoms and not the
disease itself
The basic cause of the group ten
sions which burst into savage flame,
destroy property, interfere with
business and nearly always cost
lives, is insecurity just as insecurity
is one of the basic causes Of wars.
A man with a job and firm pros
poets of keeping it who lives in
healthy and decent surroundings
does not want riot with anybody.
1t is the man who is unhappy and
because he is not able to do any
thing about it, who looks around for
a scapegoat upon whom he can
blame all his troubles. He ma
turally turns against group whose
members have different appear
ance and different customs from
his own.
The long-range cure for this
disease is better living conditions,
housing and employment But it is
not of the long-range treatment
want to speak, but of the imme-
diatc. simple things that you and l
can do TO stop these tensions before
they break.
