chance at another examination.
Civil Service Commissioner Arthur
S. Flemming yesterday announced
that, Of the 80 900 from the Wash
ineton area who took the test, only
$4,000, or 4s4 per cent, passed. An
estimated $1,000 from all over coun-
try took the examination, with only
40 to SO per cent of the employees
passing. In some regions, he said he
was advised, failures ran as high as
so per cent
All but 1000 who took the test
from this area were war service ap-
pointees who could not be replaced,
officials said.

tiles, in stressing that most of those
who failed in the examins ton will
continue to hold their Government
Jobs. pointed out that in the last
four or flve years, business schools
have not turned out stenographers
or typists in any great numbers, be-
cause higher wages in other fields
during the war attracted the poten-
tial students. Accordingly, produc-
ton of stenogra piers and typists is
below the normal demand.
Never since before the World
War has there been a surplus of
stenographers or typists here in
Washington, declared a spokesman
from the commission.
Eventually, 100000 Government
war service appointees must take
examinations, officials said.

The stenographer-typist examina-
ton was described by the commits

one devoted to general intelligence

and the other strictly to tipping OF
stenography.
While there Is no ofhcial informa-
ton available on the percentage of
those who failed in either section,
officisls sampled small group. This
disclosed that while about rs per
cent of the typists failed the intel
ligence test, only about per cent of
the stenographers were unsuccessful
in this phase of the examination.
Ofiicisls explained this by saying
that standards were necessarily low
cred during the war, and a great
many people came into Government
work who would not ordinarily be
considered. They insisted the recent
examination was not any more diff
cult than those given before the war.

The Political Mill
By Gould Lincoln

presidential candidate Mr.. Wallace is
from Iowa. Yet even in 1910, when Mr..
Wallace was Mr.. Roosevelt's running
mate, Iowa went Republican. 1t would
be bold prognosticator who predicted
that Mr.. Wallace, if nominated in 1948,
could carry his own home state.
Democrats have a habit of looking to
New York-provided the Governor of the
Empire State happens to be Democrat
for presidential candidates. Al Smith
and Franklin D. Roosevelt, both New
York Governors, received the last five
Democratic presidential nominations. Up
in New York this year there is a guber-
material election. Senator Mead is at
present the expected Democratic NOM
inee, to run against Gov Thomas E.
Dewey Senator Mead is a New Dealer,
an ardent friend of labor unions. Should
he be elected Governor next fall-would
the Democrats turn to him for a stand
ard bearer in 1913? It's doubtful he can
beat Gov. Dewey-but if he did, it does
not seem likely he could successfully
challenge President Truman for the
presidential nomination
1t may be within the cards that the
Republicans will win control of the
House, and possibly of the Senate, in
the elections this year, and that they
will elect a President in 1948 If they
do, that would spell the end of Mr.. Tru-
man as a political figure But for any
group to wrest the Democratic presi-
dental nomination from Mr.. Truman
two years hence, they will have to find
candidate. It's an old political axiom
that you cannot beat somebody with
nobody. No one, apparently is yet on
the horizon.
Two former members Of the cabinet
Henry Morgenthau, jr., and Harold L.
Ickes-have denounced Mr.. Truman
Mr.. Morgenthau said, after listening to
the Presidents address to Congress, Mr..
Truman has decided to make an open
and final rejection of the Roosevelt in
heritance" and that "his policies and
his purposes are totally different from
those of the man to whom he actually
owes the presidency" Mr. Morgenthau
was practically invited 'out" of the cab
met by Mr. Truman.
1t is a fact, however, that in all his
recommendations to Congress they
have been many-Mr. Truman has fol-
lowed the Roosevelt line undeviatingly.
He even took his proposal to draft strik-
ers in Government operated plants from
a message of Mr.. Roosevelt to Congress
when sthe latter vetoed the Smith Con-
nally bill

Arab Power to Resist

To the Editor OF The Star:
In letter addressed to you, appearing
on May %, Benjamin Akin takes issue
with Constantine Brown on the ability
of the Arab countries to stage a full
scale war should the United States Gov
eminent and Britain decide to imple-
ment the recommendations of the
Anglo American Committee of Inquiry.
Mr.. Akin argues that the Arab coun-
tries have not at their disposal the
military forces necessary for such a war.
What armies they have, he says, are ILL
equipped and inefficient. So argued the
Germans when they set out to conuuer
Europe, until the underground forces of
Yugoslavia and the Maquis of France
proved that they were wrong The fact
that these forces withstood the on
slaught of the German armies for such
length of time and inflicted upon them
such heavy casualties is highly signifi-
cant
What Is at stake for the Arabs in
Palestine is far more serious than any,
thing they have had to face since the
Arab movement for liberating the Arab
countries began. 1t is the complete
alienation of q territory which for the
past 1900 years has been part and parcel
of the Arab world. Furthermore, situ-
ated as it is, Palestine under foreign
domination would constitute a perma-
nent threat to the independence of the
Arab countries and make further unity
between them virtually impossible. That
they would all resist with all the means
at their disposal any encroachment on
this territory, should therefore not be
doubted by any one.
For entirely different reasons, how
ever, do agree with Mr.. Akin that
the conflict probably will not materialize.
The Arabs have no particular desire to
fight the Americans or the British.
American soldiers. on the other hand,
would not wish to go and fight the
Arabs in order to force on the in
habitants of Palestine Zionist rule.

This Changing World
BY Constantine Bro,cn

At time when Secretary of State
Byrnes is making earnest endeavors to
hold another Big Four conference to
draft peace treaties for Europe and is
insisting that all participants park their
guns outside the council room, there are
ominous rumblings throughout Soviet
dominated areas of Europe.
Marshal Tito, the nominal dictator of
Yugoslavia, arrived in Moscow last
Tuesday. Outside the official statement
that he went to make friendly call on
the Soviet government, no further ex-
planation about the purpose of his visit
has been given the public. But the fact
that he was accompanied by the Yugo-
slav chief of staff, 1t. Gen. Koca Popo-
vich; the Soviet ambassador at Belgrade,
Lavrentiev and the chief of the Soviet
military mission in Yugoslavia, Maj. Gen.
Kesselyev, who is the real ruler of Yugo-
slavia, lends color to speculation that
Marshal Tito's talks with his bosses will
cover principally the political and mill
tary situations in the Balkans.
The Yugoslav Army is on war footing
and has concentrated twelve of its best
divisions in the Istrian area facing four
skeleton American British divisions.
Mr.. Byrnes and British Foreign Sec
retary Bevin do not intend to change
their point of view regarding interna-
tienalization of Trieste, and neither the
Moscow nor the Belgrade government
accepts this proposed solution.
The unexpected friendly" visit Of the
Belgrade rulers to the Kremln is Great
ing a good deal of uneasiness. Wash
ington and London still hope that the
Yugoslav government will not precipitate
solution" by some rash military
action, but nobody can discern the in
tentions of the Soviet government and
how it wishes to use its puppets.
At the same time, Soviet forces have
entered Czechoslovakia. According to an
official statement made last week by
the Prague government, these troops
five divisions strong-were being moved
from Austria to Germany as replace
ments for the Red army of occupation.
In some Allied quarters it was specu-
lated that these divisions were to be
sent to the Sudetenland, which faces
American-occupied Bavaria, to bolster
other Red Army units in Germany.
1t is impossible, however, to determine
Evening star., 1946-06-01
Not Xisitina Now

Since Prime Minister Stain, citing
doctors orders, has already rejected
two presidential invitations to visit
the United States. it is doubtful that
he will ever come. Yet there is just
the bare possibility that he will
change his mind some day and de-
eide to take the trip. No personal
appearance could have a more STIR
ring effect in America.
The very fact of Stalin's coming,
of course, would be a spectacular
demonstration of friendship between
our two countries, and it would have
the effect of deepening that friend
ship. But at the moment rela tions
between us obviously are not good,
and until they are better the idea of
dropping in to see us probably will
strike him as a bit ridiculous. Never
theless the thought may occur to
him on occasion that if he made
such a gesture at this time he would
be doing the one thing which more
than any other would symbolic a
genuine Russian desire to work
closely with us and the rest of the
world to build decent peace.
The course of history is profoundly
influenced by what is done or not
done by strong personalities, and a
seemingly little move like a Stain
visit to America could be the begin
ming of great events. In the present
state of affairs, however, it is idle to
speculate over such matters. For
some time to come. at any rate. the
Russian Prime Minister is going to
stay home, and the effort to achieve
fuller understanding and more CO.
operation between his country and
ours will have to be continued
without letup through the channels
of regular diplomacy and the United
Nations. That is the right machin-
cry, after all, for such long-term
laborS.

Tito Warned Aouin

The simultaneous protests lodged
by the American and British gov
ernments with the Yugoslav regime
headed by Marshal Tito bring once
more into the spotlight of public
notice the strained relations exist
ing between that regime and the
western powers.
These diplomatic missives, though
not identic in form, center about the
Yugoslav attitude and actions re-
garding the disputed Italian prov
lnce OF Venezia Giulia, including the
big port city of Trieste. According
to the understandings arrived at be-
tween the big Three" at Yalta and
elsewhere, the disposition of this
territory was to be made at the
postwar peace settlement, and in
the meanwhile temporary occupation
was divided between the Yugoslavs
and Anglo-American forces, the lat
ter controlling Trieste and the west
ern portion of the province, known
as Zone A.
That understanding was vigorously
objected to by Tito, who, at the close
OF the war last spring, tried to oc-
cupy the whole of Venezia Giulia
and face the western powers with
an accomplished fact. It was only
by quick action of the Allied COM
manders in Italy that such a coup
was prevented. Ever since then
Tito and his followers have adopted
provocative and harassing tactics.
which, some months ago, called
forth a virtual ultima tum from the
local American and British COM
manderS In Trieste, warning the
marshal that any attempt to upset
the existing arrangement would be
met with force.
However, after period of relative
quiet, Yugoslav provocations appear
to have started up again and to have
reached point that has called forth
the fresh protests from Washington
and London. The disquieting thing
is that, during recent months, the
Soviet government has consistently
and strongly backed Tito's claim to
the whole of Venezia Giulia. Indeed.
it was a clash over this issue that,
perhaps more than anything else, led
to the failure of the recent Paris
conference of Foreign Ministers.
Tito is repeatedly at present in Mos
cow, where he has been received
with acclaim and consequently en-
couraged in his truculent attitude.
Indeed, it is unlikely that he would
have gone so far unless he felt that
he had Soviet support.
While the American note appears
to be concerned chiefly with the
Trieste situation, the British note is
repeatedly concerned also with vari-
GUS complaints concerning the treat
ment of British subjects and their
property in Yugoslavia. There is
also the collateral issue of Albania,
where British warships were recently
fired upon by the forces of a local

Short Memories

President Truman was on firm
ground in more than one sense when
he told his press conference yester-
day that his emergency labor bill,
especially the section relating to the
drafting of strikers against the
Government, had been grossly
miSrepreSented.
MIR. Truman was referring Spe-
ciflcally to Misrepresentation and
misunderstanding as to- the intent
of the provision and the use he
expected to make of the power
which it would have conferred upon
him. In view of the Senate's re-
lection of the draft, this matter has
become somewhat academic. 1t may
not be amiss, however, to direct
attention to some of the misrepre-
sentationS or Misunderstanding to
which the President did not allude.
One of these has come from
Harold Ickes, former Secretary of
the Interior, who, attacking the
Truman draft proposal, said that
President Roosevelt had no such
power and that he did not have to
draft labor or compel workers to
work at bayonet point to keep our
factories running This is true as
Tar as it goes, but it does not tell
the whole story. More striking was
the comment of Henry Morgenthau,
former Secretary of the Treasury,
who said that Mr.. Truman has
decided to make an open and final
rejection of the Roosevelt Inherit
ance," and that Mr.. Truman's
policies and purposes are totally
different from those of the man to
whom he actually owes the presi-
dency."
The author of that statement is
the victim of short memory. On
June rs, 1943, in his message vetoing
the mith-Connally Act, President
Roosevelt said: Il recommend that
the Selective Service Act be amended
so that persons may be indicted
into noncombat military service up
to the age of Sixty-five years. This
will enable us to induct into military
service all persons who engage in
strikes or stoppages or other inter-
ruptions of work in plants in the
possession of the United States"
Congress was as unwilling to give
Mr.. Roosevelt this power as it has
been unwilling to give it to Mr..
Truman. But the fact remains that
both Presidents asked for essentially
the same thing, and the charge that
Mr.. Truman, in asking for power to
draft strikers, has rejected the
Roosevelt inheritance or that his
policies are totally different from
those of his predecessor simply is
not true.
