the future he would save his
speeches for only the most impor-
tant occasions because he didn't
want people to get tired of hearing
him. The President dwelt expan-
sively on the problem of making
his utterances count and made it
clear he was no longer going to be
so readily available for either pri-
vate or public quotation.
The friend agreed this was prob
ably wise decision and he was
also able to tell the President that
he thought the spring storm of
criticism had appreciably subsided.
Neither mentioned the most recent
Shower" resulting from Mr.. Tru-
mans apparent sponsorship of Win
Iston Churchills unpopular call for
an Anglo-American alliance.
The Vinson accolade does not
portend any changes in the White
House setup. The Secretary already
is fittingly located to give his coun-
sci as required and he has better
rank than staff duties would give
him. Although Mr.. Truman's dec
laration puts him ahead of the So
called Assistant President, John
Snyder, reconversion chief, there is
no need for Mr.. Snyder to be shifted
or denoted. Hence that old friends
face can be saved.
Ever since his Ways and Means
days Mr.. Vinson has enjoyed a good
press. He maneuvered safely past
the shoals of New Deal financial
policy before the late President
Roosevelt promoted him to the
bench and he did his wartime jobs
acceptably. A Kentuckian, he has
fitted neatly into the Southern wing

Mr.. Douglas directors in his vari-
Gus corporations have thus far re-
fused to let him take the job, this
potential grievance is expiring.
His first big dose of adverse criti-
cism followed the World Bank con-
ferences in Savannah. Financial
circles accused him of steam-roller-
ing the conference, especially the
proposals of the British. His an

Of his personal wishes.
Basic Difference.
There are a lot of other differ
ences between the two systems, but
the one indicated is perhaps the
basic difference. The problem is
WhSher they can both exist in the
SAM, world. If either country should
decide they cannot, that would mean
tnat one must try to conquer or ex-
terminate the other. We are sure
Rat Russia could not conquer or
eNerminate the United States. We
are not sure that we could conouer
or externinate Russia. Most of us,
III any case, are sure that we do not
wish to attempt it; we would not be
willing to pay the price even if we
were confident of success.
We prefer to try to live in the
same world with the Russians.
This is the explanation, in part,
Tor the appearance one day last
week OF three eminent Russian jour-
nalists before a meeting of the
American Society of Newspaper Edi-
tors. They were here by invitation
to discuss ways and means of bridg-
ing the wide gap between the two
systems, nowhere wider than with
respect to the press. 1t was very
friendly session.
"We shall return and tell our
people about the friendship shown
U.s." said Ilya Grigorevich Ehren-
burg, of Izvestia, at the final meet
ing.
1t was as easy as that, but
Yet on the Same Day.
On the same 'day there appeared
in a Russian magazine, appropri-
ately named The Bolshevik, a dis
cussion Of the American press.
1.-THE overwhelming part of the
American press" said the writer,
sis in the hands of the representa-
tives of big industry and finance
capital or under their complete con-
. troll" He quoted Oswald Garrison
Willard, an American, as saying our
newspapers had ceded their free
dom to advertisers, to businessmen
and, monopolies and he charged
that our press uses "the dirtiest
means Of blackmail and provoca-
ton in writing about conflicts be-
tween workers and employers"
While conceding that there are
some honest newspapermen in the
United States, his conclusion was
that the press is only place for
trading. where every word is valued
in dollars"
How are we ever to get along with
people capable of such weird i'm
aginings?
1t may be that Ehrenburg and
his colleagues will carry a picture
resembling the truth home with
them and will devote themselves
to convincing their brother jour-
naists that the American press is
not the sinister institution it has
been considered in Russia.
There is ground for hoping this
may happen, unless one of our
visitors accidentally got his hands
on certain type of newspaper
while here. You know the type, the
newspaper that makes the word
communism a synonym for crime,
that loves to call Russia's number
one hero, pal joey" and counts
an edition wasted If it fails to

arouse some further distrust of the
Russian people.
Inc members Of the Society of
Editors have made a good start to-
ward bridging, the deep chasm of
misunderstanding between the two
countries. Their efforts will be
speeded if they can find the means

Q. Who is allowed to wear the
french Fourragere other than men
OF the 1st Division?-C. C.
A. Any unit which has been cited
on three separate occasions for the
French Army's Fourragere is en-
titled to wear this decoration. It
was awarded to the I'd Infantry
Division for World War 7, and has
been awarded to the Sd Infantry
Division in World War II by Gen.
de Gaulle.
Q. Is the Civil Air Patrol cred
tied @ith specific activities against
enemy forces? If so which ones?-
j. N. jr.
A. According to the War Depart
ment, the Civil Air Patrol conducted
antlsubmarine patrol along the
Atlantic Coast and Mexican Gulf
coast as far as 100 miles out to sea.
On occasions, CAP planes were
equipped with death charges which
they dropped when submarine posi-
tlons were evident. CAP also flew air
cover for coastal shipping and con-
Voys that were within CAP OPERA
tional range of United States coastal
limits. CAP was officially credited
with sinking two submarines. How
ever, since Army, Navy and CAP op-
Grated together on these occasions,
some argument has resulted as to
who should be credited with the
sinkings.
Q. Were there any Negro para
troopers in World War II?-M. r.
A. The 555th was the only Negro
parachute battalion in the Army. It
did not 90 overseas but was selected
oy the War Department to be alerted

qualify for material or financial
benefits unless they served and re-
ceived military pay for their duty.
The reasoning behind this decision
is based upon the fact that bene-
hts have been granted to assist
man in recapturing the. economic
position he was forced to abandon
by his call into military service. The
great majority of temporary men,
bers OF the reserve volunteered their
services without pay and their duty
did not require their leaving their
homes or positions.
