This Changing World
BY Constantine Brovn

Between rs and 100 "misfit" missiles
have fallen in the last few weeks in
Sweden and Norway, where they have
been discovered and examined by COM
petent military authorities.
1t appears from available reports that
they are improved rockets of the Ger
man V-type. probably guided by radar.
The remarkable thing seems to be that
they are so constructed tnat they can
be returned to their launching site.
Those found in the countries neighbor-
ing Russia are said to have faulty con-
struction.
According to reliable informa ton. the
Russians not only obtained a large
number of Nazi V-bombs after the sur
render Of the Reich but also seized.
intact, the factory producing these mod
ern weapons near Nordhausen This
factory escaped damage from the raids
of the American and British air forces
which otherwise played havoc with Nazi
military installations.
According to reports from some Of
the satellite states behind the iron cur
tain, 1t appears that the Soviet govern
ment is working hard at the develop
ment and improvement of the V-rockets.
number of German experts and sci
entiSts were found in the areas invaded
by the Soviet armies
X
These men were faced with the prop
oslt1on of either working for the Soviet
government or being sent into exile or
concentration camps in the provinces
behind the Urals. If they accepted the
first choice they were guaranteed that
they end their families would be safe
and would have all the comforts of liv-
ing which Russian scientists are enjoy
ing. Of course, they were told that their
treatment would be in proportion to the
results they obtained.
The vast majority of these German
scientists, many of them members of
the Nazi party, naturally agreed to work
for the development of the Russian
military technique. They were given
quarters in remote and inaccessible areas
where the bulk of the Russian war in
dustries are placed. The new servants

Index Exhibition

The current exhibition of water
color renderings from the Index of
American Design at the National
Gallery ought to be of particular
interest to the lay public for several
different reasons. First, it proves
If proof were needed-that not all
the money spent by WPA was wasted
on boondoggling and leaf-raking.
The hundred pictures now on dis
play were made by men and women
employed by the Federal Art Project.
But they were not engaged merely
to express themselves. It was to
serve a larger, more notably social
purpose that their skill was enlisted.
They were asked to study the fruits
Of the esthetic genius of America in
the age before the global wars and
to reproduce as accurately as pos
sible the outlines of those relics of
the past.
What resulted is history in the
best meaning of the word. The
Index is ethnographic; it shows
beyond challenge the elemental art
instinct of the people of the United
States when their country was in
process of birth. Granted, the
pioneer settlers, coming over from
Europe, brought the tradition of
craftsmanship with them. Here,
however, they encountered new con-
ditionS, new materials, new stimula-
ton of accomplishment. The trend
of their development was in the
direction of the decoration of their
/ own homes.
To illustrate the principle in
volved: 1t is obvious that a ship
could sail without an ornamental
| flgurehead on its bow. Nobody
arbitrarily was required to labor for
days or weeks with hammer and
chiSel, cutting human figure out
OF the resistant oak to adorn a
vessel whose only justification, in
theory If not In solemn fact, was
utilltarian. Yet hundreds of boats
were SO decorated Similarly, a
chair or desk, a kitchen cabinet
or a tavern sign or a circus wagon
could be soberly plain and unpre-
tending. The point Is that, by de-
liberate choice Of their makers, they
were not unlovely. America was
conscious OF beauty from the start.
So much the Index exhibition
demonstrates incontrovertibly. The
paintings available for inspection

with limitations of various kinds Had
his opinion prevailed, the commission
would have been barred from raising
issues which might encroach on politics
But American support failed the Eng
lishman. He found himself completely
isolated and therefore, did not insist
on any further restrictive measures.
Inquiry into the complex problem
concerning German coal, which the For
eign Ministers Council prescribed three
weeks ago, bids fair to be exhaustive
The time limit set in Paris (August 1O)
has been extended The first report
bearing mainly on the distribution of
German coal will be sent to the control
council in Berlin on or before August
"a. Moreover, report No. l. dealing
at great length with the output of Ger
man collieries and the modes of exploit
tation in force, will have to be ready
by mid October.
French delegates on the coal commits
sion are sure to collect every bit of
evidence likely to substantiate the thesis
expounded here that the fast diminish
ing output of German mines in the
British zone is the outcome of clumsy
technique and clumsy British policy.
They hope to win American and Rus
sian approval on the strength of facts
duly registered.
London no longer hides the fact that
deliveries of German coal to France
will be reduced sharply in September.
Already the French have made repre-
sentations to London on this point.
They maintain the British government
is not entitled to cut down deliveries
of German coal to them as long as the
final report of the coal commission has
not been handed in.

Muintuininq Order

In announcing his determination
to maintain law and order in In
diana, Governor Ralph F. Gates
should have the full support of all
rational citizens, including, espe-
cially, those who belong to labor
unions.
The Governors announcement
was made in connection with his
decision to use National Guardsmen
to protect employees of the strike
bound Rex Manufacturing Company
at Connersville, Ind, who want to get
to their jobs. What has been hap
pening in Connersville is an exhibi-
ton of unionism at its worst. The
company has a contract with an
AFL union. A CIO union, contend
ing that most of the employees want
to quit the AFL and join their or
ganization, went on strike two weeks
ago and closed down the plant in
an effort to compel the company to
recognize the CIO as the bargaining
agent. In other words. there is no
wage or similar issue involved. It
is exclusively jurisdictional fight
between the AFL and CIO.
The strikers have reSorted to the
discreditable technique of mass
picketing, and in this they have
been reinforced by hundreds of CIO
workers from other plants in the
vicinity who have no direct interest
in the dispute. They were able,
however, to prevent some $50 en-
ployes who wanted to work from
getting into the plant, and this in
spite of court order restraining
them from interfering with office
and maintenance workers who
might desire to pass through the
gates.
In the absence of a determination
such as that shown by Governor
Gates, to protect the rights of all
workers, these mob tactics can
achieve some temporary success.
Certainly thousand or more
pickets prepared to use force can
prevent few hundred from getting
to their jobs But it would seem
that even the least enlightened
union member would realize that
such tactics, in the long run, can
only succeed in alternating the pub
lie and ultimately damaging the
union cause. Unfortunately, how
ever, there are too many cases in
which this truth evidently is not
appreciated, and in those instances
responsible public officials have no
alternative except to employ what
ever force may be needed to main
tain law and order. That is what
Governor Gates is doing in Indiana.
and 1t is a course of action which
merits the fullest commentator.

slams envy.
1t is believed in military quarters in
America and Britain that the Soviet
government is making every effort to
match the western industrial nations In
military and scientific research.
The development of atomic energy Is
only part of this work at which the
Germans. who are now the Soviets
honored guests, have been active for
the last 20 years. 1t is we'll known that
soon after the first defeat of the Reich
in the First World War, the hidden"
general staff attempted by intensive
technical studies to overcome the Iimita-
tion of the Treaty of Versailles regard
ing the size and equipment of the Ger
man Army. This extended from chemi-
cal warfare, which was never employed
in the last war, to the V-type rockets
belatedly sprung on the Allies in the
west by Hitler
American and British intelligence
services know that shortly before the
end of the war the German scientists
had developed long range radar-guided
rocket which could have reached the
United States or penetrated behind the
Urals. From the available documents
and testimony of the German scientists
captured by the western powers, the
studies had been completed but no ex-
periments or rockets had been made
because OF the intensity of the Ameri-
can and British air raids and the lack
of vital materials.
Had Germany been able to obtain
the whereWithal for these missiles at
much earlier date, the United States
probably would have suffered from these
rockets.
The discovery OF the "misfits" which
have landed in Sweden and Norway
would indicate that the German sci
entists working in Russia have made
progress and have reached the expert
mental stage.

Liquidutinq UNRRA

Geneva by representative of several
nations over Director General La
Guardia's announcement of plans
for beginning liquidation of the
United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration undoubtedly
was genuine, but it is hard to recon-
clle their professed "astoniShment"
with the fact that it has been per-
fectly obvious for some time that
the program must end shortly for
lack Of money. Decision of the
United States, Great Britain and
Canada to discontinue further con-
tributions to the UNRRA pool-a
decision well publicized in recent
months-meant the cutting off of
the chief source of financial support
of the world relief organization. It's
early demise therefore has become
inevitable.
1t is always difficult to abandon
a relief program of this kind, once
its blessings have been felt by the
beneflciarieS. In the case of UNRRA
the ministrations have extended to
many parts of the world and have
benefited many War-ravaged peoples.
1t has performed a herculean task
with minimum of confusion, con-
Sldering the need for haste. the in
adequacy of shipping facilities and
the shortage of food supplies in the
have" countries. While it is true
that hunger is still a problem in
some parts of the world and prob
ably will continue to be for an in
definite period, the main purpose
which UNRRA was organized to
achieve has been attained, namely.
the rendering of emergency aid to
tide suffering peoples over the i'm
mediate dislocations of the postwar
era. At a cost of nearly three bill
lions Of dollars it has distributed
l4,OOO000 tons of grain and other
food to nearly tWoscore countries.
This has been an expensive but
thoroughly worthwhile investment
in human welfare and an insurance
policy against disorders and possible
anarchy.
AS Herbert Hoover, who investi-
gated world famine conditions at the
request of President Truman. has
pointed out, the fall harvests in the
Northern Hemisphere should help to
place some of the hunger ridden or
hunger-threatened regions on a self
supporting basis before the year
ends. Neither Director General La
Guardla nor Assistant Secretary of
State Will Clayton contest the
assertions of representatives of
YugoSlaVia, Poland, Austria, China.
Greece and other countries that all
present and future relief needs have
not been satisfied Or provided for.
But Mr. Clayton summed up the
situation with the observation that
the emergency relief period which
uNRRA was designed to cover is
drawing to close and the time for
Iong-range readjustment through
normal relief and trade channels is
at hand
One permanent approach has
been proposed through the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the
United Nations, which would under
take to stabilize world food produc-
ton and trade and avert famine
through creation of a world food
reserve. The practicability of such
a program is open to debate, how
ever. Meanwhile, private agencies
engaged in sending food and other
aid abroad will have greater oppor-
tunities for service and greater need
for public support.
