pocket IT days later 2l divisions had been liquidated, 325 900 prison CTS had been taken and Germany's war power was gone.
 The Ruhr has never recovered from that battle and from the years of airpounding which preceded 1t and the effects of its crippling reach far beyond the struggled British zone of occupation and the borders of Germany as a whole.
 Food Needed as Incentive
 The Ruhr is caught in vicious circle of coal and food. With more coal the population could be fed more than the present near starva- vation diet. But without more food the incentive to mine more coal is gone.
 Until this riddle is solved the Ruhr seems destined to Stagnate among its ruins. Far from making the contribution 1t should to a peaceful recovery of Germany 1t will continue to function more com pletely than any other part of Ger many in the grip of "handout mentality" which is the Reich's most outstanding characteristic to- day.
 You realize this when you begin to notice that most of the tall chimneys of the Ruhr are not smok- ing, that the giant wheels which plunge the cars down the slanting mine shafts are usually motionless. And you start watching people trudging along the roads and through the streets of towns where rubble is banked high inside the skeletons of dead buildings.
 People pull their little carts load ed with brush or firewood of a few salvaged belongings or lug the knap- sacks they used to use for summer riking tours-or just stand. Dwellers Appearance Testifies'
 The faces of the city dwellers are yellowish in testimony to the in- adequate diet and aimlessness IS their outstanding characteristic.
 The British occupational author ities face here in the Ruhr fan tastic job of stimulation. It is use- less to speak or recovery until a stimulus for 1t can be germinated.
 Now there is no incentive to work. There is little or nothing to buy in the stores. There is only meager food rations. And there is no fu.- ture to which miner or steel man can look forward to-at least none on which he is yet able to focus. He might better stay home and try to repair his shattered roof, if he has a home at all, or help some farmer outside town two or three days a week in return TOT a little cabbage, few potatoes or some carrots.
 The result is labor shortage and absenteeism in every plant.

Wallace, Truman to Talk About Secretary's Program,

Washington, Sept. 17-(UP)- A campaign year explosion which would rock the Administration seemed likely today if Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace goes through with his plan to oppose State Department foreign policies.
 Wallace announced yesterday that he would continue to discuss for eign policy in public addresses along the lines of the speech he de- nvered in New York City last Thurs day and which was repudiated by President Truman on Saturday.
 Postmaster General Robert E Hannegan, chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee, yester- day discussed Wallace's activities at length with MT. Truman. Both men are presumed to be concerned wheth- CT Wallace's invasion of the field of foreign affairs will be accepted without protest by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes.
 To Clarify Hand
 Wallace and MT. Truman are ex- pected to get together today at the White House. It is understood Wal lace will stand pat on his proposal that the United States go along with Soviet Russia's expansion of influence in the Balkans. But af- ter his White House conference Wallace probably will explain in all future public discussions that he is speaking only for himself and that MT. Truman and Byrnes are the men who determine our foreign policies.
 Unless Wallace so qualities his dis cussions of foreign policies 1t is more likely than not that Byrnes will pro- test against the program of address ses arranged for Wallace. Wallace has taken at face value President Truman's statement that he ap- proved the public expression of opinion by cabinet officers in dis agreement with Administration policy.
 Between them, MT. Truman and Wallace have scuttled such party discipline as has existed hereabouts, which has not been too much at any time. Wallace's speech came only shortly after MT. Truman had help ed purge from Congress a Democrat who had opposed Administration policy
 Wallace's own understanding of party discipline had its own con- fusing angles today. Under the rules as he has stated them him. self, 1t might seem that the Secre- tary of Commerce deliberately was reading himself out of the Demo- cratic party and out of the ca binet. On March 19 he told a luncheon of the Women's Democra- tic Club that Democrats who failed to support vital Administration leg islation should be denied party sup port in their political campaigns.
 Stated Propositions
 He said he would not suggest dis ciplinary action for bolts on minor questions. But he said there were certain propositions which any Pres- ident must regard as essential. He named three upon which he would at that time base a judgment of party regularity.
 One of the fundamental issues named by Wallace was foreign re]a- tions, especially as they relate to the Soviet Union and Great Britain. Wallace's address last Thursday
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-09-17

night was direct challenge to Ad- ministration policy toward the So- viet Union and Britain. Under the rules as he proposed them last March, MT. Truman certainly could ask Wallace to turn in his suit for bucking the Administration on 8 vi- tai policy.
 There will be much conservative Democratic pressure on the Pres ident to do so, anyway. The con- servatives were angered by Wallace's remarks on party discipline. But they were angry with him long be- fore that. Conservative pressure compelled the late President Roose- welt to take MT. Truman in place of Wallace as his vice-presidential running mate in 1914. But Wallace landed in the cabinet after the votes had been counted and MT. Roosevelt was inaugurated for a fourth term.

BROADWAY BALLAD

There b no way to lose the lonely It creeps like fog across the road Of years, For we must pay for all our sins at last And count the cost in heartbreak and in tears. There Is a price for ev'ry vanished kiss,
 That is a fee for viohns and wine, What have we done that life can come to this? Where are the nights when all your thoughts were mine? Now we are ghOstS-the rain is sharp and cold, Now we are dOne-the viOlins are still, Once there were dreams that flecked the nights with gold, Once there were trTumpetS sound ing from the hill There is no way to lose the lonely past When we were young and thought that love would last!
