TODAY and TOMORROW
by WALTER LIPPMANN


Soviets and the Red Army as their
saviors. They know how great was
the part the Soviet Union played
in their liberation, and how gallant
ly so many of their own Commun-
lists behaved during the resistance.
But it is certain as anything can
be that the great majority have no
intention of trying to buy relief
from their economic misery by
esurrendering those liberties which,
as Hitler reminding them, are NOR
precious than life itself.
Finally, there are many strong
indications that the discipline Of
the Red Army and Of Soviet Of
ficialdom is tending to break down
as result OF their contact with
countries which are not Russian,
and have not been subject to the
indoctrination and discipline Of the
Soviet system. The reports are too
circumstantial and too numerous
to leave any doubt that underneath
all the smoke Of the stories about
indiscipline and even desertion
there is a substantial fire.
1t is, I believe, a principal reason
why local Soviet officials are so
sticky about giving American cor
respondents free access to coun-
tries within the lines of the Red
Army, and it may well have been
a determining influence upon the
action of M. Molotov at London.
There is, believe, tendency for
the Soviet power to disintegrate In
Europe; our own is certa My di-
minishing and so also is the Brit
ish. It would be only natural then
that the Kremlin, especially it at
the same time it is concerned with
the succession to Stain, should feel
that it cannot now make firm
agreements, and that it must re-
examine its whole foreign position.
The belief, which has played so
great a part in our own policy,
that Red tide was moving ire
sistibly westward, was a natural
enough hypothesis in the days
when the mighty Red Army was
moving forward so majestically. If
the German Army could not stop
it, nothing, it was supposed, would
stop it till it reached the Atlantic,
and it was easy to Jump to the con-
clusion that the Communist idc-
ology would move forward H.
re sistibly with the invincible Red
Army.
But the hypothesis was untrue.
1t assumed falsely that the prestige
Of the Red Army, which was SO
high when it liberated eastern Eu-
rope, would continue and would
even grow during the occupation.
But occupation never makes an
army popular, nor does it ever fail
to corrupt the army. The farther
west the Soviets, the more nom
Soviet peoples they have had to
deal with, the greater have become
their difficulties - not so much
with their big and distant Allies
as with the local inhabitants and
the Red Army itself.
Other influences have contribut-
ed to our own over-estimate of the
Red expansion. There has been a
very strong propaganda conducted
by displaced officials Of the govern
ments in exile who have believed,
many Of them no doubt honestly,
that but for the Russians, certain
ly with American backing, they
would again have a political future
at home. They have exercised
great influence on our officials and
upon newspaper men.
It is impossible not to refer also
to the fact that our attitude h a S

Beware Of This

Have YOU ever started to read book and
after turning few pages realized that you
don't know what you have read, because your
mind had been turning over many other
subjects in vague, indefinite way, and you
had to make a fresh start, only to find that
YOU could concentrate upon the book only by
a strong effort Of willpower
If you have, your predicament has been a
clear reflection Of the mental situation OF the
world at this writing.

but an actual obsession, so that whatever else
he may be thinking about it obtrudes its fate

Polish Justice
Up in Senate
Vsndenbere Plan on
Settlements Backed

WASHINGTON, April 7 INS)
"A senatorial round robin" let
ter, urging the American govern
ment TO seek justice for Poland
and also TO support the Vanden-
berg plan for review OF current
war settlements, is being consid-
cred today.
The proposal grew out OF fears
of some senator's, who are strongly
supporting the creation, of an in
ternational security organization
in the San Francisco conference
that the American public is be-
coming discouraged over many
developments.
Senator Bridges (R) of New
Hampshire, an ardent supporter
OF an international agreement. re-
ported that there is strong senti-
ment in the Senate for the
Vandenberg amendment to the
Dumbarton Oaks agreement for
review OF war settlements.
CAN'T, STAND SHOCK -
There IL no doubt that the
disclosure Of n secret agreement
on voting procedure came as
shock 10 those working toward
q permanent world peace or
ganization," said Bridges. "They
believe that franl<ness and can
didness must be one Of the key
stones of the organization.
eff we get many more disclos-
ures and shocks, the strength
and position OF those In Con.
gress urging a security organi-
zation will be damaged. There
are two points upon which many
senators are insisting thst -we
are:

YuIeHopes Lost ByGIs
 Portland Forced
 To Stop at Azores

New York, Dec. 20. (UP)-Hopes of spending Christmas at home were dashed today for 1,041 veter- ans aboard the cruiser Portland, and thousands of others were be- ing delayed by Atlantic storms.
 Naval authorities here reported receipt of message from the Port land, which was bound for New York from Le Havre, saying that she was putting into Horta, the Azores because her fresh water sit- uation was critical, and because of boiler room leaks. She had reported Tuesday that she was riding out a gale at six knots.
 Today's message said the weather had moderated, but that she would go into Horta for water, additional fuel, and to test for leaks. Her posi- tion was given as some distance west of the Azores, at 43 decrees six minutes north and 35 degrees 52 minutes west.
 Aboard were 947 Army enlisted men, 36 Army officers, 50 enlisted Navy men. seven Navy officers, and one civilian.
 As military authorities took emer- gency measures to speed veterans who may arrive in the next few days to their homes, the Navy ended speculation that the battleship Washington, with 1870 troops aboard, might be in trouble, by an- nouncing that the ship was in mo danger whatever"
 The New York Port of Ernbarka- ton received from the Navy 8 mes- sage saying that the Washington would reach here Saturday. It originally had been scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

s. s. Crime Described
 To Tribunal

Nuremberg, Dec. 20. CUP)-Doc- tors of the S.S., trying to perfect poison bullets for the German Army, shot five condemned prisoners with poison missiles and three of them died 8 violent death, frothing at the mouth, the War Cimes Tribunal heard today.
 A report by pr. Krugowsky, chief S.S. hygienist, was introduced show ing that he and two other doctors shot the five prisoners through the upper left thigh with 7.65 centimeter bullets in September, 1944.
 The bullets were filled with a chemical called akonotinnitrate in crystal form. They passed through the legs of two prisoners without effect.
 The other three victims, the re- port said, suffered disturbance of the motor nerves after 20 minutes and a flow of saliva became so strong they could not down it by swallowing.
 "The foamy saliva flowed from the mouth, then the sensation of chok- ing and vomiting started the coldly analytical report said. Death oc- cured 121 and 129 minutes after they were shot"
 The evidence of SS atrocities and weird experiments was presented in support of the prosecution's charge that every branch of the SS was involved in the Na1 con- centration camp program and the entire organization was guilty of war criminality.
 This was the last day of hearings in 1945. Today's adjournment marked the beginning of holiday recess, with the trial to be resumed early in January.

Bing Crosby On Checkup
 Full Secrecy Kept In Boston Dolngs

Boston, Dec. 20-(UP)-Croonel Bing Crosby was here today osten- sibly to undergo a physical checkur but he had cloaked his activities in more secrecy than any wartime meeting of the big three.
 One thing was certain. He defin- itely was registered at the Ritz Carleton Hotel-or at least someone had taken a plushy suite there in his name.
 You couldn't reach his suite by telephone because MT. Crosby isn't taking any calls until late this afternoon" If he were in the suite 1t was a safe bet he was "treed' because a bevy Of newsmen and women were camped on the various front and back stairs.

Have 10 Days
 Defense counsel have ID davs or until Jan. 9, to decide whether such situation exists in the Zukauskas case. ''''
 If no such motion is filed then the State will have 30 days from yesterday, or until Jan. l8. to pre- sent Zukauskas in court here for setting of new date for execution.
 IT the motion is filed then the appeal proceedings will not be closed until 30 days after the Su- preme Court rules again.
 Citizens to Appeal
 The petition to the Pardons Board VII pc for communication of the sentence to life Imprisonment. It IS understood that several pront- nent local citizens will appear with counsel to plead for Zukauskas' life when the Pardon Board holds its special session.
 If the case goes to the nations highest court, extra funds will be necessary for Zukauskas. The State of Connecticut has never been asked to pay for expenses of such an ap- peal. and precedent might be set in the Zukauskas case.
 . The possibility of financing by friends also has been cited. The ex- penses, however, are not expected 70 be high since most of the prelim- mary work is already completed.
 If the defense decides to go be- fore the Washington court, then a writ of certiorari, asking the court to review the case, will have to be filed. There is no time limit on such a writ.
