Manila Roosters Crow

At the bottom of the mer.u is
printed, in underscored letters half

IN order to protect their per-
sonnel from such prices, the Army
and Navy have opened a number
of eating places where American
prices prevail. Occasionally, how
ever, an American dates a Filipino
beauty who insists on eating at
a public restaurant.
Transport is Problem.
Ninety per cent of Manila's
public transportation system was
destroyed during the war. There

use OF surplus Army trucks and
Jeeps to get around the city.

This era of ill feeling can easily de-
stroy the very basis of labor's argu-
ments for higher wages. 1t Is clear
already that industry cannot now pay
the real wages which were possible two
months ago. And if the same dollar
wages are paid now, the need for higher
prices will be sharpened by the dam
age done to the flow of materials and
other essentials of production. In short,
things are not what they were in No
vember. If immediate agreements were
to prevail in the automobile industry,
it would be weeks before the efficiency
of the industry could be restored
Shortages have developed, and for
that reason alone many departments
The balance between supply and demand
has been pulled badly out of shape.
The building industry is the latest to

Time to Coll q Halt

General Eisenhower's order BAN
ming further rehabilitation demon
strationS by American troops should
occasion no surprise. Indeed, there
are many persons-especially those
now or formerly in the armed serv-
ices-who have been surprised that
such an order has been so long de-
layed. The spectacle of supposedly
disciplined soldiers participating in
mass meetings of protest over Army
policy-however justified the griev-
ances-is not "a pretty one at any
time, and especially at this critical
hour in history when American
prestige and leadership and self-dis-
cipline mean so much to an impress
Sionable world.
Certainly the War Department
and Army commanders in the field
have exercised remarkable restraint
in the face of the unprecedented
challenge to authority - bordering
In several instances on mutiny
which was implicit in the recent
series of disturbances here and
abroad. In tolerating the outbreaks,
high officials realized that the SOL
diers had been UNDERSTANDABLE con-
fused and dismayed by demobiliza-
ton procedures and policies. Added
to the confusion were such irritants
as natural homesickness and a let
down in spirit attributable to the
end Of hoStilities.
Now that General Eisenhower has
clarified the situation by issuing
definite rehabilitation pronounce
ment, it is but logical that he should
follow 1t up by an order designed to
restore traditional Army dignity and
discipline. That does not mean that
individuals may not air any "gripes"
which they still may harbor, pro-
vided they do so in the approved
and orderly way-through proper
channels. And to facilitate the air.

General Eisenhower has directed the
inspector generals office to take
special steps to see that every dis

opportunity to state his case. Thus,
there can be no reasonable excuse
for any further demonstrations or
disorders by the troops, and the

He is chiefly responsible for the stream
lining and reorganization of the State
Department by which entirely new or

abolished.
Although this streamlining sub

partment, his work has been praised
by the Secretary and Undersecretary
of State because they believed it would
make the Department more efficient.

But while Mr.. Schwarzwalder has
earned for himself good reputation as
a streamliner in the War, State and
Navy Departments, his knowledge of
the work of the FBI Is still very scanty.
In the two years he has been engaged
in looking into the organization and
work of the military and naval in
telligence he is said to have been able
to obtain only superficial acquaint-
ance with what a variety of problems
fall under the jurisdiction of Mr.
Hoover's organization.
These problems extend from catching
kidnapers, counterfeiters and other
criminals to special intelligence work
in foreign countries and at home 1t
was the job of the FBI to locate and
catch enemy saboteurs and prevent
those in the pay OF foreign countries
from doing the jobs assigned to them.
The duties of the FBI have become
SO diversified since 1910 that only men
with wide knowledge of this complex
work can successfully cope with the
agencys many assignments.
Although from the past activities Of
Mr.. Schwarzwalder it would appear that
he might not be the ideal man to re-
place the incumbent director of the
FBI, he has very powerful support from
friends he has acquired recently and
