lead us into thinking that we shall
have relatively easy time Of 1t after
the Nazis are liquidated. As Mr.
Krug says. the task OF defeating the
Japanese will continue to have first
claim on the country's resources and
will impose a tremendous strain on
our productive capacity" More than
that, unless the limited reconversion
authorizations are distributed equi-
tably among different areas-as the
WPB hopes to do-serious difficult
tisS may develop, particularly as re-
CARDS the danger of workers shift
ing from essential to nonessential
jobs In places where the labor sup
ply is needed for vital arms indus
tries. Mr.. Krug paints a generally
optimistic picture. but nothing in it
would justify the feeling that we
shall be able to rest on our oars
when We Day comes.

Moscow Broadcast

The fact that the Moscow radio
has broadcast a Pravda article as
serting that the San Francisco Con-
ference is being held "at the right
time from every point of view" and
predicting that 1t will accomplish
its task" should quiet some of the
apprehensions concerning the real
Russian attitude toward the inter-
national security program worked
out at Dumbarton Oaks.
AS a result of recent developments
1t had been feared that the Soviet
government had little faith in the
theory of collective security under
lying the San Francisco meeting and,
in view of current differences among
the Big Three, that Moscow might
60 so far as to refuse to take part
In the conference.
The text of the Moscow broadcast
negatives any such assumptions as
these. This statement is in har-
mony with the views expressed by
Marshal Stain on November 8.
Evening star., 1945-04-05

when, while conceding that differ
ences did exist, he spoke favorably
Of the Dumbarton Oaks agreement
and remarked that what matters is
not that there are differences, but
that these differences do not trans
gress the bounds of what the inter-
ests OF unity of the three great
powers allow, and that in the long
run they are resolved in accordance
with the interests of that unity"
This language. together with the
tone Of the latest Pravda article,
may be taken to mean that Marshal
Stain does not intend to permit
minor differences to prevent the
working out at San Francisco of the
agreement envisioned in the Dunn
barton Oaks proposals. II this be
the case the outlook for the confer
ence is far more hopeful than might
appear on the surface, for the de-
cision in the matter very largely
rests with Moscow. and such ques-
tions as the seating of delegation
of Lublin Poles or the number OF
votes Russia is to have in the Gen.
eral Assembly will not assume dis
ruptive proportions if Marshal Sta
lin does not want them to do so.

Mr.. Kruq on Reconversion

At first glance, in his prediction
that the output of civilian goods in
this country will be near the 1899
level within a year after We day,
Chairman Krug of the War Produc-
ton Board would seem to be in con-
flict with Army and Navy of1icials
who have been warning that the
defeat of Japan will require vast
quantities of weapons and that there
can be no relaxation on the home
front
Actually, however, the two views
are not at variance. Mr.. Krug care
fully qualities what he says. The re-
conversion will be gradual. In the
first three months after Germany's
downfall, the cutback rate in arms
output probably will be only IL per
cent, increasing slowly to about 20,
81 and IS per cent. respectively, in
the second. third and fourth quar-
ters of the year. In other words,
the Nation will still have to produce
about IS per cent of It's present mill
tary requirements twelve months
after General Eisenhower announces
that victory has been achieved in
Europe.
The prospect of a step-by-step re-
turn to the 1899 level Of civilian pro-.
duction--a low level compared to
what we must have when the war

Wants Military Training

To the Editor of The Star:
Our Allies will suspect the sincerity
of our desire for peace if we have uni
versal military training after the war
at least we are so informed by Lydia
Wentworth of Brookline, Mass, who
proposes in its place training for
peace"
Suspicious folk, aren't they?-partic-
ularly as they all intend to continue
peacetime conscription after the war.
But, of course, we must not question
their sincerity on that account.
The finest imaginable training for
peace" will be a well-regulated system
of universal military training. which
will serve as the foundation for an
effective citizen reserve army and navy
such as George Washington proposed
and which at last is receiving belated
consideration. With it, we never may
be forced to 90 to war; or at worst we
will be assured relatively cheap
victory. Without It, a national disaster
of the first magnitude is more than
possible.

American by this time had learned the

The Meaning of Words
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Sometimes I wonder how we can
ever surmount language differences in
our endeavor toward world peace when
among ourselves our own words are
used outside their denotations and ac-
cepted connotations. For example. the
letter of P, F. J. in answer to Sorrow u
P. F. J. states, II have compassion
for him and for others like him who
don't have enough of what it takes to
face life and accept death courage
ously." This sentence is contradictory,
at the least, in that the second part
bellies his compassion. For compassion,
according to the same dictionary, ''is a
combination of sorrow and tenderness;
it is gentle and merciful toward the
grief stricken and the burdened." Or
did he mean contempt?
As for his statement that "only the
weak ask for compassion-the strong
detest it," vehemently disagree with
him. Compassion is one of the elements
of true strength and courage. Without
it, there is nothing but brute force. 1t
is possible that, again. p. F. J. has not
used the word which has the meaning
he intended to convey.
With reference to what I think he
means by his letter. should like to say
that since he disagrees with Sorrow"
whose plea was for dignified observ-
ance of the end of hostilities in Eu-
rope, understand that he is in favor
of the wild. uncontrolled celebration
of the Armistice. That, believe, is
unworthy of us. am in favor Of a mo-
ment of communion in prayer and of a
visit to church in memory of the fallen.
And in the memory of the years that
have been lost to those who already
have served so long in the armed serv-
ices. I shall think, too, of particular
young boy who lost his youth and the
fun and wonder and glory that goes
with it, in all too short time In my
own JOY, please God, let me remember
that We day came too late for him.

intend to overlook such rebuffs as the
defeat of the former National Youth Ad-
ministrator at the hands of the Senate
and stripping of Mr. Wallace of control
over the great lending agencies of the
Government. 1t looks, therefore, like
real fight is on which may tear the
Democratic party still further apart.
Further, the more the New Dealers
hammer at the group of Senators and
members of the House whom they con-
slider backsliders, the more difficult il
may become for the administration
forces TO control on Capitol Hill.
One of the Democratic Senators who
voted against Mr. williams said frankly
he expected the New Dealers to attack
him wnen the time rolls around for his
denomination next year. I'VE will meet
the situation when it comes" he said.
1T will be fight between the real lib
erals in the. Democratic party and the
radicals"
The attempted 1888 purge of recalci-
trant Democratic Senators failed miser-
ably. Senators George of Georgia
Tydings Of Maryland and the late Sem
ator Smith of South Carolina, all espe-
cially listed for the political ak. were
triumphantly renominated.
Democratic Senators who voted
against Mr.. williams and who come up
for denomination and reelection next
year are Bilbo of Mississippi, Byrd of
Virginia. Connally of Texas, Gerry OF
Rhode Island, McKellar of Tennessee
and Radcliffe of Maryland Mr.. Con-
nally is chairman Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and Mr.. McKellar
not only Is President pro tempore of
the Senate, but also the ranking Demo-
cratic member of the Appropriations
Committee and its acting chairman.
Two years later. eight more of these Will
llams opponents are to run again-Sen-
ators Bailey of North Carolina. Bank
head of Alabama. Chandler of Kentucky,
Eastland of Mississippi. Mcclellan of
Arkansas, ODaniel of Texas. Russell Of
Georgia and Stewart of Tennessee.
Attention will be centered on the 1916
senatorial elections. If the purge fails
again next year. it will scarcely be at
tempted in 1913, when a presidential
election is coming up.

two main lines serving the German
armies on the Italian front. On April
4, Marshal Tolbukhins men were re-
ported as being in the outskirts of
Vienna
We do not know yet whether Vienna
will be defended with house to house
desperation. Certainly the important
industrial center of Wiener Neustadt was
not strongly held. though German re-
sistance in Bratislava seems to be con-
tinuing tThe fall of Bratislava was an
nounced after this column was written)
Inevitably, the question comes-wnat
next after Vienna?
Perhaps the answer may be seen in
the slow but significant advance of the
left wing of Marshal Konev's 1st
Ukrainian Army group into the northern
entrance of the Moravian Gap. Here
the Germans are resisting with bitter
determination.
It would seem probable that the Rus
SLAMS will now seek to close up the front
between Banka Bistrica and Ratibor
and thus link tightly the flanks of their
two army groups (Malinovsky's right
with Konev's left through the Moravian
Cap. This would deprive the Germans
of another industrial region that
around Moravska Ostrava), and it
would isolate the Germans still fighting
east of the gap in the High Tatra,
where they are being squeezed by Gen.
Petrov's 4th Ukrainian Army group.
Petrov is also having hard time Che
has not advanced since March 30 but
the sealing off of the Moravian Gap
would certainly reduce his problems to
those of mere mopping-up operation.
More important than all this, however,
the capture of Vienna and Bratislava
and Russian link-up through the Mo-
ravian Gap would bring the Russian
Armies up to the eastern border of the
German inner citadel, the western
fringes Of which have already been
penetrated by the Americans and
French. It would also immensely IA
ciitate a general advance by the Rus
sian armies farther north, directed. on
Berlin and Leipzig.

not want any "face-saving" government.
Ambassador Hurley will meet In Lon
don the first hurdle toward settlement
of the Polish impasse. He expects to
be able to convince the two British
leaders that Mr.. Roosevelt is attaching
such an Importance to the San Francisco
Conference that a further adamant
Interpretation Of the Yalta protocol
concerning Poland might rock the
United Nations ship of state.
But Gen. Hurleys Job will be much
harder in Moscow despite his blunt and
frank manner Of approaching the high
est Russian oficials. In the past this
has stood him in good stead. But the
concessions he obtained two years ago
from Stain were OF very minor per-
sonal character. This time he has to
handle a problem which is close to the
heart of the Russian policy-framers.
Whether he will be able to convince
Premier Stain that the long-range in
terests of the u S. s. R. call for more
cooperative and yielding attitude re-
mains to be seen.
For the time being there is no indi-
cation whatsoever that the Kremlin
intends to satisfy the American and
British governments by including any
personalities recommended by them in
the Lublin committee. This is not a
Russian whim. but definite policy
which Russia has followed ever since
her armies began winning victories.
The Kremlin appears convinced that
since its two other major Allies have
yielded in the past on every political
matter in which Russia showed direct
interest, there is no real danger that
America and Great Britain would try
to frustrate Russia's plans regarding
Poland at this time.
Under these circumstances Gen. Hur-
ley's mission may prove Tess fruitful
than his previous jobs as Mr.. Roosevelt IS
trouble shooter. unless he is able to per-
suade the British that they should not
object to any person Foreign Commlssar
Molotov decides to place on the broad
ened Luhlin committee even though
that person might be stooge.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The l946 purge" Of Democratic
Senators who have displeased the White
House and the radicals represented by
the PAC and the Farmers Union is
already underway 1t had its launching
last week at the victory" dinner in
honor Of Aubrey Williams, defeated by
the Senate for appointment to be di-
rector of the Rural Identification Ad-
ministration This dinner, organized
by James G. Patton, head of the
Farmers Union, was attended by Mrs.
Roosevelt, wife of the President JON
to the President: James M. Barnes, ad-
ministrative assistant to the President,
and by two members of the Presidents
lace and Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard, not to mention crop Of the
more ardent New Deal Senators. Mr..
Patton previously had made it clear
that he and his organization were
after the scalps of Senators who voted
against Mr.. williams. Nineteen of
them were Democrats. Most of them
were from the solid South" and the
border States. although Senator McCar-
ran OF Nevada and Senator Gerry of
Rhode Island were in the list.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Mr.. Wallace both
made speeches at the dinner, not only
extolling Mr.. williams but also breath
ing the fire Of future attack upon the
men who turned him down. The Presi-
dents wife said she refused to consider
Mr.. Williams rejection a defeat because
'it has just put before the country a
situation. We don't realize until it
is forced upon us that We have to fight
We have to fight every step of the way.
We can't leave 1t to others-we have
to do it ourselves

Although President Roosevelt Is deter
mined that the San Francisco Confer
ence be held regardless of any trend IN
Europe that might threaten to delay 1t
until summer, the United Nations politi-
cal picture Is more blurred at this
moment than at any time In the past.
The State Department is making great
efforts to erase at least one of the many
irksonle problems which will fill an al
ready vitiated atmosphere at San Fran
cisco by endeavoring to settle the ques-
ton of Polands representation.
Ambassador Patrick J. Hurley left
last Tuesday to return to Chungking
via London and Moscow He Is reported
to have been intrusted by President
Roosevelt with the task of attempting to
hasten the stalled negotiations for the
creation OF "broadened" Polish gov
ernment. Since he is believed to be
very much In the graces of Premier
Stain, the White House and the State
Department thought that he might be
the best man to lend support to the
heretofore futile effort of Averill Harri-
man, Ambassador to Moscow Gen.
Hurley expects to be received by Premier
Stain soon after he arrives in Moscow.
Beforehand, he will have a heart-to-
heart talk with Prime Minister Churchill
and Foreign Secretary Eden in London.
Because only 20 days remain before
the opening OF the San Francisco
meeting, the State Department is
anxious that some sort of broadened
Polish government is established at the
earliest possible moment Since Foreign
Commissar Molotov has turned down
about 80 names OF acceptable Poles"
suggested by the American and British
Ambassadors at Moscow, the State De-
partment would be willing to accept
almost any person in order to get the
Polish question out of the way, at least
temporarily.

Red Push on Vienna
By Mai. Georse Fieldins Eliot
The Russian armies are breaking into

The Russian armies are breaking into

Thus, a magnificent l2-day offensive
by two Russian Army groups-the End
Ukrainian marshal Malinovsky) and
the Sd Ukrainian (Marshal Tolbukhin)
comes to it's logical climax
This operation began on March "a
The situation Immediately preceding
that date was as follows: On February
13 enemy resistance in Budapest was
at an end. It may be presumed that the
Russians Immediately turned their at
tention to the. improvement of their
lines of communication; for their OBJ
jective in the siege of Budapest was to
obtain possession of the network of
railways and roads centering on the
Hungarian capital
So great was German anxiety regard
ing the results of such an offensive as
has now taken place that despite the
heavy Russian pressure on the ap-
proaches to Berlin, the Germans threw
strong forces into a great counterattack
on the approaches to Vienna. They had
fought desperately to relieve Budapest;
they continued to fight just as desper-
ately in an attempt to recapture it.
On March %, the I'd Ukrainian Army
group lay along the Hron, facing west
ward from the area of Banka Bistrica
down to the Danube and across that
stream; some distance south of the
Danube its left flank Joined the right
flank of the Sd Ukrainian Army group,
whose front extended southwest to the
Drava River. In front Of the Sd lay
the great obstacle Of Lake Balaton,
around both ends Of which the army
group would have to push its way in
general advance on Vienna.
On March "a, according to the Rus
sian communicates (actually the opera
ton may have begun little earlier)
both Russian Army groups went over
to the offensive, the Germans having
exhausted themselves in their counter
attacks while the Russians were build
ing up their supplies and repairing their
railway system.
From that time onward the Russian
advance was steady, each day bringing
new successes. The I'd Ukrainian Army
group pushed eastward astride the
Danube, directing the center of its
advance on the Slovakian capital, Brat
islava, which Marshal Malinovsky's adj
vance guards reached on April 3. The
Sd Ukfainian Army group pushed
around both ends Of Lake Balaton,
swept up to the Austrian frontier on
q broad front, crossed 1t on March 80,
took Wiener Neustadt on April and
pushed forward to cut the main-line
railway leading to italy by way OF

For the Ruqqed

Shakespeare perhaps was wiser
than he knew when he suggested
that the soul of man might be in
his clothes. He had before him the
precedent of the Latin affirmation:
CLOTHES make the man." and one of
his followers, Thomas Carlyle of
Chelsea, in "Sartor Resartus," pub
lished in 1886, was to repeat that:
Clothes have made men of U.S." The
whole subject of the relation of attire
to personality has held fascination
for successive generations ever since
before Deuteronomy. Saint Mark
and Saint Luke saw a connection
between being clothed and being of
a right mind. The American poet,
Muriel STROBE, having come into pos
session of an oil we'll about 1925,
devoted the royalties received from
it's exploitation to the providing of
whole wardrobes to girls and women
who, as she believed, needed that
kind Of help.
And the United National Clothing
Collection drive, now current, repre-
sents like idea. Residents of Wash
ington and nearby Maryland and
Virginia have been asked to con-
tribute their proper quota of usable
clothing, shoes and bedding for the
relief of a multitude of men, women
and children in many different war
torn countries overseas. Each house
hold group in the Metropolitan Area
is petitioned to search closets, attics
and all other feasible storage spaces
for discarded but wearable raiment
and blankets, afghans, quilts and
sheets. The materials to be donated
should be tied up neatly in bundles,
preferably not wrapped in paper,
and carried to designated collection
depots, including Fire Department
stations and police precinct Offices,
where they will be packed for ship
ment abroad
What more requires to be said?
Nothing except possibly repetition
of Saint Basil'S effected injunction,
more meaningful today than it was
when first he set it forth more than
fifteen centuries ago: The cloak

Greet Corset Crisis
By David Laurence
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

from the st. Louis Post-DiSpatch:
AS far back as>memory goes, the ex-
hale and heave-to industry has quaked
for the caprice of Occidental femininity.
Surely, it was declaimed, feminine mod
esty-let alone public morals and the
corset industry-would be ruined when
she abandoned the 18-inch waist rising
out of A below into 36 above. Every
body knew, too, in the 1920s, when girls
adopted fiat sides and waist lines a
palms breadth above the knee and q
inch-wide garter belts to prove that they
could never quite look like boys, that It
was only matter of time until there
would be depression and war. And now
the Corset Guild, British institution
of some antiquity, shudders for the fu-
tire
