The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

The School of Political Action Tech
niques," which Is to be launched in
Washington June 26-and run for four
days--ls sponsored by the National Citi-
zens' Political Action Committee. If il
turns out success, in all proba bility
there will be other similar schools" in
other cities.
The political actionists are going IN
for teaching the "intricacies of profess
sional political campaigning in a big
way, and have 80 specialists ready TO
teach 80 courses. They will teach how
to build ward and precinct organization,
how to organize women for political &C
tion, the use of radio. leaflets and post
ers-and a variety of other significant
things.
StreSSing its nonpartisan complexion
the school prospectus declares that any
citizen of the United States is eligible
for admission but that registration for
the first session" is necessarily limited
to 500 students. The citizen, however
must hand over SO as tuition fee, ana
an additional 50 for the manual sup
plies. literature and admission to Films
for Action and Songs for Action"
*
The National Citizens Political Ac-
tion Committee-which arose as q kind
OF national extension of the CLOS PAC
went to town for the late President
Roosevelt in the 1914 political campaign
Presumably it is going to town for the
candidates of New Deal Democrats and
the CIO in the coming congressional
and State elections.
The school is to have department of
political strategy, a department of po-
htlcal organization and administration,
a department Of political groups, de-
partment of political research and a
department of public relations-each
giving several courses. One of the
courses of the political strategy depart
ment is on the major issues in the 1916
election campaign" with special en-
phasis on those issues which will best
mobilize masses of voters" Other
courses will deal with the raising of
money and how to spend it.
Since the CIO and it's Political Action
Committee have announced a $4,000 900
goal for its campaign funds for this
year-just twice the sum allowed
major party's national political commit
tee in presidential election under the
Corrupt Practices Act-it should be i'm
portant for their friends and allies to
know how, not only to raise, but also to
spend these funds without running afoul
Of the law. Indeed, it looks as though
the students at the school are to be
taught techniques of politics in a thor
oughly realistic manner.

Some Muy Remember

Some may remember July'S drowsv tune.
And some the dance OF spring, and
some may long
For dutunlnS chorus or the chant of
June;
But I remember the end of the soma.
Only the end. the last full note and clear,
Dying on lips that drank the lees of
being
-pathos as the end dra,Ds near.
That is the song of songs, the Uordless
seeing.
All may be totGled in that last lou stoh.
Murmuring family through the des-
ert sage:
LoUe and the uoUs ,pe Cancelled. child
hoods cry,
Blind youth resisting loss, and grayin1
age.
Only the end, the rumbling OF the storm,
Just ns the sun breaks THROUGH on
beduty's form.

means OF effecting deciSively destructive
results. This confronts the realistic Rus
sian planner with a perfectly clear al
tentative: Either % to cooperate
Fundamentally in finding a means to
restrain, by common agreement, the use
OF such weapons by anybody, or (2D to
find means of restoring the military
balance to one more favorable to the
Soviet Union.
1t must be said that the Western
powers, and the United States in par-
tlcular, have not moved very rapidly
toward convincing the Russians that
the first alternative is within reach. The
Mcmahon bill still fingers in senatorial
doldrums, the United Nations Atomic
Commission is not yet functioning, the
Lllienthal report remains a mere sug-
gestion.
If they are not so persuaded, they
will seek to follow the second alternative.
Ihey cannot attack us at present; their
military strength is almost altogether
IN the realm of land power and short
range supporting air power. These
weapons cannot reach even the British
Isles from existing Russian bases, much
less North America. But they can con-
tlnue to use these military means to
support policy of gradual continental
expansion, either by direct occupation
or by supporting political elements
favorable to them and comfortable by
them in various countries, regardless of
the desires of the peoples thereof.
succession of Azerbaijans NAV
IN the end bring the Russians to COM
plete military dominance of the Eura-
sian continent plus Africa, providing
them with resources far superior to
those of the western hemisphere plus
the British Isles and Australia. The
farther they advance. the more nearly
this dominance seems to be within their
reach, the more irresistible will the
second alternative appear to the gentle
men of the Kremlin. That is why we
should spare no effort to make the first
alternative attractive and reasonably
attainable, but at the same time we
are under the necessity of making the
path toward their second objective as
difficult as possible, both in the interest
OF world security and for our own
ultimate safety.

setup would be In the best interests
OF economy and efficiency. More
important still, it would be a better
instrument than any we now have

stricken countries back on their own
feet-Where all of them Yearn to be.

Relief for Tito's Refine

To the Editor of The Star:
Why does UNRRA continue to send
supplies to Yugoslavia, if as recent re-
ports indicate these supplies are being
used to strengthen Marshal Titos regime
at the expense of the Yugoslav people
themselves
The Yugoslav governments action in
refusing visas for American and British
supervisors and its insistence on Rus
sian control Of the distribution of these
supplies seems sufficient cause for the
United States to withhold It's share
until the Yugoslav government adopts
more reasonable attitude.

petence, as, for example, the decora-
ton with the Legion of Merit of a
colonel in the Engineer Corps who
had so badly mismanaged the only
source of replacement parts for en-
gineers equipment in the world that
the War Department had to send in
a special team to clean up the de-
pot.
The committee does not demand
infallibility and is we'll aware that
errors will be made where action
must be taken in haste and where
nonaction might be an even worse
error. However, the armed services
should devise and utilize a personnel
system which will reward the alert,
the intelligent. and the farsighted,
and punish the careless, the stupid,
and the wasteful. Such a system
is particularly essential in the high
er echelons Of the armed forces
The committee lacks evidence that
Army and Navy promotions and
other personnel practices operated
on any such basis. What evidence
has come to its attention is all to
the contrary.
No consideration of future ma
tional defense is complete unless a
discussion of the human element
is included. A body of able, intel
ligent men in our armed forces, to-
gether with a promotion system
which has the result of thrustine
the ADLER men, regardless of age OF
seniority in service, into positions
of major responsibility where the
more important decisions are made
would be the greatest single factor
in assuring an adequate national
defense. The national defense is
a matter of interest to the entire
country and should not be consid-
cred to be the private preserve OF
small clique. + ="
With high-grade leadership In
the armed forces, many of the
other problems of national defense
can be more easily solved. Without
high caliber personnel, the best
possible plans will mean little.

in the original demonstrations that
led to the riots.
Both the Federal police chief and
the commander of the Rio de Jane
iro military region said the riots
were an outgrowth of a movement
inspired by agitators who were
taking advantage of student &C
Invites against high prices to pro-
woke disorders.
Police said that among the many
persons arrested were 200 who were
registered as Communists. Detec-
tives were stationed at Communist
headquarters.
Hundreds of Windows Broken.
Steel shutters we're slammed shut
across the doors of the capitals
stores after a night in which hun
dreds Of windows were smashed by
mobs releasing pent-up anger
against shopkeepers for what they
believed was practice of with
holding food for the black market.
The Ministry of Justice issued a
communique deploring the riots and
begging for cooperation with the
government. 1t warned that the
government would use all means at
its disposal to keep public order.
President Dutra, moving to meet
a nationwide economic crisis and a
grave food situation in the capital
decreed a moratorium of 100 days
on payment of bills by all producers
OF livestock. Exports of prime food
stuffs have been banned and permits
sion has been granted for importa-
ton Of various types of food duty
free.
organized Movement"
War Minister Pedro Goes Mon
teiro said there is no doubt that
this is an organized movement" He
promised vigorous action against
those who inspired the rioting.
Federal Police Chief Lira, who re-
Gently charged Communists with
plotting a revolution in Brazil, said
the police we're aware of who was
responsible for this rioting anc
would take measures necessary tc
public security.
Taking cognizance of such accu-
sations, the Communist newspaper
Tribuna Popular said the student
movement had been peaceful unit
"provocateurs inflltrated among the
students and rioted in the city"
The demonstrations actually be.

District Tax Refunds
Total $50, 1913 in Year

The District Board of Tax APP
peals ordered refunds to taxpayers
totaling $50,59367 out of the 68 ap-
peals disposed of during the fiscal

annual report filed yesterday with
the Commissioners by Lawrence
Koenigsberger, sole member of the

Camara, Catholic priest and

Mario Lins in the nose.
Leaders of almost all political
parties, however, joined in pro-
testing to President Eurico Gaspar
Dutra against Correia's arrest and
the disregard of congressional i'm
munity by police in entering and
ransacking the homes of other Com
munist congressman.
1t was reported that Dutra's wife
suffered a heart attack during the

OF the Senate War Investigating
Committee, made public last
night by Committee Chairman
Mead.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-09-01

When we went into World War II
we had little basis for judgment ex-
cept trial and error. With the wealth
OF experience of this war behind us,
it would be tragic mistake to allow
the knowledge thus gained to be-
come stale and to fail to set it down
as definitive guide for the future.
Furthermore, there must be a con-
tinuing study modifying and revising
plans in the light of new develop
ments so that another emergency
Will not catch us with a plan which
is obsolete and unavoidable.
The committees experience, in
general, was that any attempt to
impose a very tightly knit. control
over every major phase Of the war
production mechanism necessarily
had to fail. American industry Is
