Agreements Must Stand

And somewhat along the same line, 1t
may be stated that in the Truman code,
an agreement is an agreement, and the
President may be expected to insist that
any conclusions reached at the Big
Three meeting be carried out, book,
chapter and verse.
Despite the accord that was hailed
as the result of the Big Three Confer
ence in Yalta in midwinter, there have
been troubled STRINGS in world capi-
tails since because of indications that
Russia proposed to play lone hand
whenever 1t suited her purpose. In de-
fense of the Soviet, it has been said
that the misunderstanding developed
from differing interpretations" of just
what the -Yalta agreement meant In
certain important particulars.
President Truman is likely to spare
no effort to make sure that there is
no ground for such misunderstanding
after the next meeting breaks up.
Must Stick Together
It has been made more than clear,
however, that the President is heading
for his first Big Three meeting in q
strongly conciliatory frame of mind.

major Allies must continue to stick to-

Then the position OF conflicting ele-
ments in the London Poles began to
figure in the colloquy, with a series OF
questions of the character that Presi-
dent Roosevelt used to brush away as
"iffy' being tossed in. Mr.. Truman
attempted to answer these, but when
the speculation went too far afield, he
choked it off without further ado.
With mild expletive, he told his
questioners not to get themselves all
tangled up, and admonished them fur
ther not to upset the apple cart. Plainly
he said that all that had been done was

Expression of Good Faith
This informal exchange was as I'M
portant as it was revealing.
First of all, it was good example Of
the candor which has characterized Mr..
Truman's utterances in the presidency.
1t demonstrated his calm, measured
approach to the job in hand.
Finally. it was simple expression OF
this Governments good faith-and an
unspoken declaration that the same
good faith was expected in return.

promises to be the most nfomentous Of
all because the problems of building a

He had only $1,000. Van Der Horst
.ays the Dresser Industries, Inc,
financed the erection Of a plant for
him in Olean, N. Y, where he manu-
factured the porous chrome plating
for Deisel-powered ships. The business
became the Van Der Horst Corp. OF
America and expanded to two plants in
Olean and one in Cleveland, Ohio.
Van Der Horst became president Of
the company and so per cent owner.
The plating process, on which he holds
patents, was applied to airplanes and
tank engines as we'll as to those on
ships, and the company's annual gross
income has reached 100000. Mean
time, Van Der Horsts patents were
made available to other companies, to
assure maximum benefit for the war.
Van Der Horst quotes Capt. Edward
Ellsberg, naval salvage expert, as say
ing that porous chrome plating was one
of the main reasons why not one of the
thousands of Deisel-powered naval craft
used in the Normandy invasion was out
of service because of engine trouble on

HOLYOKE, MaSS.-Children suffer IN
war more through separation from their
parents than through any kind OF vio-
lence, according to Miss Berta Gutt-
mann, until recently teacher and house
hold supervisor in the Hampstead Nurs-
cries in England. These nurseries are
known to countless Americans as the
place where w. L. White found his
adopted daughter and the Journey for
Margaret began.
Miss Guttman, who left her native
marched into the Austrian capital, came
to this country last November to join
her father. Now on the staff of the
Jackson Parkway Child Care Center in
Holyoke, Mass, where the city and
nearby Mount Holyoke College collab-
nursery school for the children Of war
workers, Miss Guttmann finds that the
same serious harm can come to small
children in the safe" United States as
in V-bombed London.

The British nursery is one Of three

daughter of the great psychoanalyst
Her two recent books, War and

Miss Guttmann and her fellow workers
in children suddenly separated from
their mothers.
Jill, an unusually bright little girl of
2l2, went readily to the nursery, when
her mother feared disease from the un-
wholesome AFRAID shelter where they
slept But half an hour after her moth
er left, Jill became aware of the sep
artion, stopped playing and rushed des-
perately through the house, opening
every door in the building. She re-
peated this frantic search many times
a day, lost her sunny disposition and
took to following strangers for atten-
ton. After eight weeks, when her moth
er found place in the country for them

high spirits.

just a few hours the announcement
that meeting Of Polish factions had
been arranged to start work on the new
Polish government OF national unity
contemplated by the Yalta pact. The
result, naturally. was that the theme
of Russo-American relations dominated
the session.
Truman Sums Up Feelings
Mr.. Truman expressed qualification
at the outcome of the visit of his ennis
saries with Prime Minister Churchill
and Premier Stain, and announced
definitely that he was now to get to-
gether with these two.
Then in one sentence, he summed up
his own feeling toward this conference:
The all-important thing which con-
fronts us is that the unity, mutual con-
fidence and respect which resulted in
the military victory should be continued
to make secure just and durable
peace"
And, he added, the heads Of the three
great powers must be able to trust each
other and have full confidence that each
wants this peace.

NEW YORK.-A Dutch industrialist,
stranded here without funds when his
country was invaded, has turned his
1910 dilemma into $1,000 ,000-a-year
enterprise.
Moreover, DR.. Hendrix Van Der
Horst's process for lining naval engines
is not only essential to war, but has
been acclaimed must" on peacetime

machine that has bearing surface.
Unlike the romantic flavor of Van Der
Horst's life, his product, or process, is
prosaic; 1t is called porous chrome
hardening" and it goes into cylinders,
piston rings, crankshafts. The value is
that it's porous, absorbent, holds its oil
lubricant. That makes it an enemy of
the hot box, the turnout bearing.
1t has multiplied the life of bearings
six-fold and increased the tactical eff
cheney of fighting ships as much as 20
times, Van Der Horst says.
It means greater cruising range.
For example: A submarine equipped
with porous chrome plated engines,
could lie off the japanese coast six
times longer that 1t could without this
lubricating aid.
Van Der Horst came to the United
States by Navy invitation. He tried out
his process on the reclaimed submarine
Squalus, which was rechristened the
Sailfish and went on to win presidential
citations; then on other naval craft.
Later, after his work was finished,
Van Der Horst was on the dock waiting
to board ship for home, when the sail
ing was Cancelled and the ship taken
over.

passage on another ship, but when his

2 and 3, Sylvia had lived in six different
foster homes Although her war-worker
parents visited her regularly in the
nursery and took her home with them
on each occasion, she had been so serl-
ously upset by her year OF insecurity
that she continued hysterical, disobe-
dent. and full of fantastic tales and
unchildlike fears.
Loss of parent in an air raid was diff
ferent. BERTHE, aged 4. had gone with

The Gradual Process
Separation Of children from their
mothers is less dangerous when the
process is gradual, Hampstead workers
found. Hetty, high-strung child of
2, made the transition to the London
nursery easily because her mother
brought her in during the day for two
months before the birth of the next
baby. Hetty had time to become used
to the place, to the people and to the
fact that her mother would surely reap
pear again after she disappeared.
On the other hand Mary, ~, taken
to the country house so her mother
could work in a munitions factory,
needed six weeks to recover from the
shock of sudden separation. She cried
a great deal and was so insistent on
holding some ones hand every minute
that they finally tied skipping rope
around the teachers waist so Mary
could hold tight without disrupting the
work of the nursery
