KEPT OUT OF AUSTRIA

Stalin's lengthy note also an swered the Truman Churchill in- quiry as to why the Western AL lies were not consulted regard ing the new Renner Government in Austria, created by the Rus sians overnight. Stalins explan- ation was that the Austrian peo- pie have proved their worth, that the situation demanded great speed, and so stain saw no ob- lection to their establishing their own government.
 Of course, under Yalta. it was stipulated that new governments in the liberated areas were not to be set up without c0nSulta- ton between the Big Three.
 Probably also cable from
 Moscow to London and Wash
 ington would have secured im-
 mediate approval of Karl Rem
 ner as the new Chancellor of Austria. But this advance mo-
 tice was not given.
 Stalin also explanied, in reply to the Truman-C Churchill inquiry, that the situation in Rumania was desperate, that there were serious disorders, that the Ra- descu government had deceived the Rumanian people and they them selves wanted an immediate change. He also explained that Pennsylvania had been given to Rumania without consulting Bfi- tain and the USA) m order to consolidate the new Rumanian government and give 1t support with all political factions.
 In regard to Yugoslayia and the Yalta pledge to reorganize the Yugoslav Parliament, Stalin ex- plained that no time limit had been set in the Yalta Agreement (Which is correcD and that these reforms would be carried out at the proper time.

 Meanwhile, another sore point arose to plague Allied-Russian relations when the Soviet delayed the return Of American and Bri- tish prisoners liberated by the Red Army. At first, the Rus sians gave the excuse that trans portation was difficult, which was

A man who would plunge without fear into jungle infested with proving and creeping dangers of every sort would be not a hero but a fool. Fear B given Us for the purpose Of protect ing ts against real danger; 1t be- comes evil only when it leads us to over anxiety about little things or about situations over which we have no control.

COMING HOME
Boston Post)


 The joy of coming home, now be- ing experienced by thousands Of service men, who have fought long, hard and well for their country, IS the culmination of years Of dreams. Since they went away they have thought of little save this moment to sit in their own homes to sleep in a real bed and as long as they want to, and to eat that home- cooked food. Although they humbly will deny 1t, these young men are heroes who offered Up their lives so that their country might live. They do not wish to be made of. But they are deserving of every con- Sideration. They offered all. They deserve much.

President Truman's conciliatory policy toward Congress has paid its first sizable dividend. Senators MacKellar and Stew art of Tennessee have abandoned their fight against Mir Truman's reappoint- ment of David Lilienthal as chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Thus an able administrator is kept at his job; a personal, time-wasting Senate fight is averted; the gulf between White House and Capitol is further narrowed. We congratulate the President -- and the Senators from Tennessee

mllQef note 10 truman.
 In neither did he back down on anything.
 Apparently Churchill has an unerring faculty for getting under Stalin's skin. Twice before they were almost at each others throats when the late President Roose- welt stepped in between. This latest Stalin reply to Churchill was in similar vein.
 The milder note to Truman was about eight pages long and re .. affirmed Russias desire to carry out the Yalta Pact, but differed dlametrically regarding it's inter- pretation. Stalin fell back also on the explanation that he and Roosevelt had a personal under. standing as to how the Yalta Pact was to be carried out
 Admittedly the Yalta Pact is vague. One of the late Presi- dents advisers reminded him Of this at Yalta and got the reply: q know it, but it's the best I can get the Russians to agree to without staying here six weeks and l can't stay here six weeks"
 'Vagueness of the Yalta Pact
 is why President Truman sent
 for Jimmie Byrnes to come up
 from South Carolina the other
 day. Byrnes, former court
 stenographer who learned his
 law the hard way, took sten0
 graphic notes all during the
 Yalta conversations. When he came back. he carefully trans scribed them and gave Truman copy. However, Truman
 wanted to query Byrnes about some of the details which were
 not entirely clear, and also there was one conversation be-
 tween Stain and Roosevelt when they were practically alone
 of which Byrnes doesn't have record. That Is one reason why Truman Is also comforting
 with Anna Boettiger, the late Presidents daughter, who was 4
 Yalta, about the interpretation of the fine points in the YaIta Pact"
 SWORN SOVIET ENEMIES'
 For instance, the Yalta agree- ment does not state specifically that members of the London Po- fish Goyenment-in-Exiie shall be taken Into the Lublin- Warsaw Government, but only that the latter should be reorganiZed lon 8 broader democratic basis with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itself and from the Poles abroad
 Stalin therefore replied to Tru- man that Russia intended 10 live up 10 the Yalta Pact on Polnad, but interprets it differently, He pointed out that the Lublin gov ernment was being broadened daily and now contains four arch bishops. He also said that at the next meeting Of the Big Three he would give convincing proof that the Lublin government was being broadened in accordance with Yalta, even If 1t did not include the London Poles, whom ne described as the Sworn ene- mics Of the Soviet UniOn".
 However, he apparently ignored the fact that the Yalta Pact does not provide that the Lublin gov crnment shall be broadencd in consultation with U. s. Ambassa- dor Hartman and British Am- baSsador Sir Archibald Clark Kerr. This definitely has not been done. Both Hartman and Kerr have been largely ignored regarding revision Of the Polish Government.

and the very people who should fear Him most are the ones who fear Him least. We may well fear God if our hearts are unrepentant and if We persist in our evil ways. This is what the Bible means when 1t says that the fear Of God is the beginning Of wisdom. This Is whole- some fear. The exhortation Fear not" which rings through the Bible is directed toward those who worry because they do not know that God is their partner in every right en- terprise.

 There will be numerous inhuenc- ing factors. Transportation will be one Of them. A vast amount of 1t is going to be needed to move sup- plies to the Pacific. That may limit ability to deliver gas to Eastrcn United States.
 Beyond that and the war needs for gas itself, the people will want and demand reasonable mad sem sible handling of the gasoline ques- ton.

tile.
After dinner we went into Cuer-
navaca to shop. Juan took US to
the famed La AVenida del Guerrero.
1t was the most fascinating street
l have ever seen. In some ways it
resembled Maxwell Street in Chi
cagO but far more exciting.
The avenue began with the plaza
where the band was playing. As
far as one could see, it was thick
with people of all kinds. On one
corner a man was having his for
tune told. At least sixty people
were listening. The fortune teller
yelled the secrets of the mans fu-
ture to all who cared to draw near.
In front of a shop there stood a
painted clown. Juan told US that
he was there to entertain the people
so they would enter his shop and
buy.
Peddlers, beggars, lame and blind
people, townspeople and tourists
walked along this narrow street.
The shops showed everything
from the daintiest handmade and
hand-embroidered blouses to the
latest in silver jewelry. Collins
were boldly displayed in one win
dow. In another, we saw Ritz
Crackers, and so it went.
Juan reminded US that we should
wait to purchase our silver later.
We bought blouses and shoes here.
In the plaza there were many
people. Here and there were pine
apple stands. The sliced pineapple
could be purchased by the slice. 1t
had lain in the hot sun so long that
it was sticky and golden yellow.
The air was full of the wine-like,
sun-cooked pineapple fragrance.
Hamburgers were also simmer
ing on open stoves. Everything
looked so tempting. Juan warned
US time and again to content our
selves with bottled coke and not to
touch the native fruit, food and
drink at these places, because it
would surely make US sick. 1t was
agreed when we left Monterrey that
Mrs. Harvey and l would never eat
or drink anything unless we asked
his opinion first. Only at the es-
tablished hotels would he ever say
Eyes"
AS evening came We stopped
shopping and made ready to go on
to Taxco, Guerrero. Taxco was
located in the heart of the silver
mining industry. Again we went
up and up into the mountains, and
again l chewed gum furiously to
prevent that dreadful feeling of
stopped up ears.
About nine at night we arrived
at the Posada De La Mission, where
We were to spend the night. After
a delightful four course dinner Zone
of which was of steak) we drove out
to see the town of Taxco and to
shop at last for silver.

While driving downtown, we
passed hearse. Immediately Mrs.
Harvey (who is a licensed morti-
cian) said, Juan, l want you to
take US to a funeral home. You see
I'm in the funeral business in Jack
son, Mississippi"
Juan swung around and looked at
her with great surprise. Then he
laughed, shook his head and said,
mop
Later learned that funerals are
strictly mans business in Mexico.
Mexican women do not go to the
cemetery along with the mourners
as women do in the States.
Widows, particularly the Indian
women, wear deep black mourning.
They wear black from their head
scarf to their stockings and shoes.
We saw many of them on their way
to the churches. So many, in fact,
that in our ignorance we once in
quired as to whether they were
some kind of religious group.
While downtown we saw bride
in front of a photography shop.
She was dressed in a long white
dress and wore a full length veil.
She was seated in a wedding car.
The car was black outside but up
holstered within with white silk and
decorated with white flowers and
white ribbon streamers. 1t did not
take much to guess that this was
a wealthy bride!
We left Mexico City around noon
for Cuernavaca. Cuernavaca was
about seventy-fve miles out of
Mexico City and the capital of the
state of Morelos. Cuernavaca has
always been a fashionable resort.
Here the wealthy Mexican has his
weekend relaxation. Here, too,
came Lindbergh, movie stars and
wealthy foreigners. Some people
came for honeymoons, others for
divorces.
We dined at the Hotel Chula
Vista to the strains of soft dinner
music. had beef tenderloin, sweet
creamed carrots, salad, Mexican
fried beans, iced tea with fragrant
lines, lovely rolls with unsalted
butter and ice cream. Always the
waiter assured US that the food was
North American style. Maybe so
but it had been improved on so that
it was delicious to taste and t.
smell.
The Chula Vista hotel looked like
a Hollywood technicolor extrava'
ganza, with its contrasts of cream
stucco and red painted trimmings
patios, blue-tiled swimming poo
and terraced lawn. Each step was
decorated with many colored mosaic

The street cars and buses were
simply packed with people. Some
even hung on the back. Sometimes
they fell off.
The streets were filled with auto
mobiles. This seemed strange to
US as we were accustomed to gaso-
line rationing and fewer cars.
Whenever someone drove past US
faster than usual or cut across at
a peculiar angle, our guide would
say, HE must be from California. l"
Some of the streets were crooked,
narrow, and for one way traffic.
Others, like the famous Paseo de la
Reforma, were long, wide and beau
tiful to drive along.
On our second day in Mexico City,
Mrs. Harvey and l went shopping.
Our guide suggested that we con-
suit him before buying jewelry,
blouses and leather goods as we
could purchase these things for
less at Cuernavaca or Taxco.
The better shops had beautiful
clothing and displayed a wealth of
silver and gold costume jewelry
such as Minneapolis plastic filled
show cases have not seen in many
years.
Having heard Mrs. Harvey and
me mention perfume, Juan left US at
a delightful Chinese perfume shop.
We saw perfume from all parts of
the world and of every scent and
in every shape of bottle. We made
a dash for Chanel number five. But
at IS to 100 pesos for tiny bottle,
we lost interest. (Our money was
worth $3.50 in Mexican money to
$1.00 in United States currency in
Mexico City,
Every time We parked on the
street, Juan would look up the uni
formed street attendant and ask
him to watch his car. When he re-
turned, he would tip the attendant
thirty-five centavos.
Doesn't the attendant get any
salary?" asked.
"Oh sure" said our guide. "He's
paid by the government. He reports
any violations of the law. But if l
ask him to watch the car, then he'll
stay nearby and I can be sure that
no one will break into it."
Juan said that women clerks
averaged 80 pesos per week. Men
usually earned from $50 to 200
pesos per week. He pointed out
that people were paid in Mexican
money and according to the Mexi-
can standards, but the prices they
paid for things were on the United
States scale. This made it hard to
make a living in Mexico. Things
were high in comparison with
wages.
