G.I. War Brides Attending Night School Classes Here

Newcomers Co this country, and anxious Co learn the English lan- auaee and American ways several CT war brides have enrolled m Americanisatlon classes conducted three nights week at Crosby High School.
 The young brides among the most enthusiastic students at the sessions, arc quickly increasing their vocahularieS, and their craving Tor factual information has led to the injection of history, civics, and other subjects into the language teaching course,
 These students have come here from all parts of Europe, many Of them from the midst of the war fury,
 Four Years At BuChenwald
 There is le-year-old Stanislava KalisgewSkL whose happy smile and robust health belle the four years she spent In the infamous German concentration camp at Buchenwald after she fled from her home in war-torn Poland,
 There Is also the vivacious Louisa Solomita, who saw her home in the port of Naples wiped out not once, but twice.
 Then there is the pretty French girl, Genevieve Lampiette Scampor- lima, who still marvelS at the world of plenty" that opened up before her when she left her famished native land.
 These students are in class of 20 taught by Miss Anna E, M, Dwyer, well-known elementary school teacher and an instructor in Americanization for the past l7 years.
 They are among my best pupils, Miss Dwyer said, chatting informal- ly during a recess at the last ses- sion. But they aren't satisfied with just learning to speak English. They want more and have to give it to them"
 And the young women, anxious to back her, proceeded through an Illustrative question-answer period, during which they scored perfect"

Tax Cuts and Spending
By RavmON MOIev

income in 1947 must be affected adverse
". Only an industrial peace that
passeth all understanding can keep the
purchasing power of industrial workers
at the 1916 level.
II we are to have further wage in
creases, we can assume that even the
August figure Of the cost of Government
must 60 up by billion or so because
Of increased prices Of what Govern-
ment must buy. That increase would
certainly go on into the prices paid by
Government In 1947.
Those who are suggesting q 40 per
cent cut in. individual income tax rates
say that Such cut will increase busi-
ness, presumably by increasing invest-
ment money and purchasing power. In
short, investment money would be avail
able among big income tax payers and
purchasing money among small income
taxpayers.
With reference to investment money,
1t is doubtful whether such additional
investment supply Is needed or would
substantially help There is plenty Of
capital available at low rates. AS one
wise economist says, You can pull
money into business: you can't push it. :
As to more money for purchasing,
there is plenty Of purchasing power
now. The issue is lack Of things to
buy. More money In the hands Of small
buyers win mean more material for in.
fiation. IS long as commodities are
scarce.
The decisive question Is where and
how. to cut expenditures.

The Rebel Luborites

Considering that almost one hun
dred members of the Labor Party
sbstained from voting, the House Of
Commons unanimous Endorsement
OF Britain's foreign policy must be
regarded as something less than an
unqualified triumph for the Attlee
government.
The vote was on left-wing La
borite amendment calling upon the
government to review and recast"
its policy and provide democratic
and constructive Socialist alterna tive
to an otherwise inevitable conflict
between American capitalism and
Soviet Communism" The less ex-
treme advocates OF the proposal
argued that Britain, grouping itself
with other Socialist powers. should
seek to be sort OF mediator or
counterpoise between the United
States and Russia. The extremists,
on the other hand, while advocating
the same rather vague idea, made a
special point Of saying harsh things
about us.
In this respect, the Commons de-
bate was an echo in reverse OF Henry
A. Wallace's attack on the Truman
Byrnes approach to world affairs
an attack picturing the United
States as playing into the hands Of
British Imperialism" and being
duped into a London made gang
up" policy against Russia. The
"rebel' Laborites said the same
thing, except that they placed Brit
ain in the role of the dupe, doing
the bidding Of American capitalistic
imperialism" and following wash
ington-made anti-Soviet policy.
Even though Mr.. Attlee's able
speech IN defense Of British policy
was followed By 4 353ato-0 rejection
OF the proposed amendment, and
even though this gives good sup
port to Foreign Secretary Bevin at 1
time Of delicate United Nations
negotiations, the fact of the absten-
tions remains disturbing. In effect,

these absentions detract from the
show Of unanimity: they strongly
suggest that many Laborites, while
not ready to oppose 1t In q show
down at this time, do not think
enough Of their own governments
international policy to back 1t with
their votes.
When he succeeded Mr.. Churchill
as Prime Minister it was predicted
that Mr.. Attlee might have trouble
with discordant elements in his own
party. The rebellious tendency on
foreign policy Is therefore worth
watching. Unless the Laborite lead
ers are able to check it, it may lead
to developments whose significance
will extend far beyond British do
mestic politics.

Mun-Mude Snow

BY flying over Greylock Mountain
In Massachusetts, and tossing out six
pounds of dry-ice pellets. a scientist
of the General Electric Company has
produced a heavy snowfall from a
cloud three miles long. This opens
up fascinating new vistas that
should be of particular interest to
street cleaners who dread winter and
to all the wistful among us who keep
on dreaming with Bing Crosby-year
after year-of a white Christmas.
The magical character of the ex-
pertinent has been made clear by
Or. Irving Langmuir, associate di-
rector of the General Electric re-
search laboratory and one of the
most eminent of our scientists.
Forthcoming issues Of the learned
journals will doubtless explain pre-
cisely how carbon dioxide idry ice)
can be used to make a cloud do
tricks, but DR.. Langmuir has given
us good nontechnical idea of the
. new wonder simply by saying that
a single pea-size pellet of the stun,
dropped 1000 feet through the air,
could precipitate several tons of
snow and that hundreds of millions
Of tons could be produced over a
large area by plane shooting out
a number of the pellets in Ave-
hour fight.
The practical meaning of all this,
ss DR.. Langmuir says, is that 1t has
Gow become possible for man to do
such things as these: "a To precipi-
sate snow where it may be wanted
very much, such as at skiing resorts;
% to eliminate icing conditions and
overcast around airports; CD to
cause precipitation in areas where
the moisture can be stored up in the
soil for springtime irrigation, and
t4 to lombard approaching clouds
before they reach cities, thus allevi-
ating the snow-removal problem and
the awful winter slush. Scientists,
In other words, have at last caught
weather by the tail and succeeded in
doing something about it. They do
not have the thing completely under
control, of course, but at least they

This Changing W World

The British government may have to
step into another wasps nest, Ii the
Greek government asks British troops TO
intervene to stop the @Macedonianp Of
fensive on the Saionika front. An ap-
peal by the Greeks now seems likely.
Despite the dificulties OF climate,
the so-called Macedonian troops are
reported to have started 4 full-fiedged
drive and have penetrated, several miles
into Greek territory.
For the time being the government
troops appear adequate to meet the
onslaught, but II the struggle in the
Varder Valley increases In violence, 1T
is highly improbable that the Creeks
regular army will be able to cope with
the situation. Under such conditions
the Athens government will ask the
British to order the $1,000 British
troops In Greece for assistance In ac-
cordance with the existing agreements.
On advice Of the British government.
Prime Minister Constantin TSaldaris is
getting ready to come to New York and
appeal to the Security Council to take
a hand In the dispute which could easily
develop into q major conflict threaten
ing the peace OF the Balkans. What
luck he win have In New York depends
entirely on the mood Of the Soviet rep
resentatiye in the Council.

American, British and Greek diplo-
mats fear. however. that while the
question Of Intervention is being de-
bated the military situation might
deteriorate TO such point that the
British troops win be compelled to act.
In that event another major schism
would be created among the Big Powers
which have assumed the role OF paciflers
Of the world.
Trouble In Greece has been expected
for some time; In fact, 1t is surprising
that 1t has not developed earlier.

eral expenditures. The House leaders
are talking about eating their cake and
keeping 1t, too.
One of the great surprises in the
Presidents revised budget estimates OF
August, 1916, was the rise in anticipated
individual income tax receipts for the
fiscal year 1947. In the Presidents
January budget message, these receipts
were estimated at l2,874, 900 900. In
August, they were increased to $18,367,.
600 900. This made up the greater part
of the increase from $33, ,0O0, ,0O0, 900 to
sal ,000. 600, ,00O-in the total anticipated
revenues. Apparently, the Republicans
believe that the larger figure viii apply
to the next fiscal year. This is an ex-
tremely dangerous assumption.
x&E Fl
The tremendous national income OF
1916, which will be higher than the
highest of the war years, is based on
several factors which are not likely to
recur. 1t Is. In part. based on some-
thing that the optimists themselves in-
tend to reduce Government spending.
1t IS based on the prices that ran away
from Chester Bowles and rose again
after ceilings were lifted. It is based
on the spending Of money saved BY In
dividuals In war years.
Moreover, II We are to get so, 600 000,-
600 from Federal taxes after the rates
are cut by 40 per cent, we shall have
to have sharp wage, price and othes
increases from July. 1947. to July. ls48..
A preponderance Of opinion among
economists IS that such increases are
not likely. Many wise heads believe that
there will be decreases. Certainly, there
/ will be some decline in agriculture.
Secretary Anderson has already told
us to expect agricultural surpluses in
the latter half Of 1917. He has
also said that he expects the de-
mand for agricultural products to turn
downward This means that the pur-
chasing power Of agriculture will

Whatever the outcome Of the Gov

wanted to make up on lost time and
lost income, the contract permitted q
A-hour week with time and one-half
overtime, and double for holidays. This
they accepted only in part. At no time
during the contract have they worked
anything like 81 hours, the average Is
under 40, and at no time were they
compelled to work more than IS. Tho
reason they did not care to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to earn
more Is reflected In their wages, which
average $62.37 per week, the highest in
American industry. Their welfare fund
amounts to $S.000000

The contract was made for the dura-
ton of Government operation and the
operators accepted it. The contract did
not forbid reopening negotiations for
changes, but it certainly forbade uni
lateral termination. and the law forbids
strikes against the Government.
The Government has been planning to
return the mines to the operators. Mr..

The Greeks have been unable to re-

than minor scale. The Athens
government lacks the vast means AT

plies have reached the Greek Army and

Moreover, because the "otner side,
seems to possess ample means.

persuaded to desert and have been
smuggled by the Greek Communists
across the border to create what
eventually will become the national
Greek Communist army.
The several army corps at the dis
posal Of the Greek government are
sufncient to cope with incursions
from guerrillas who are armed only
with tommy guns or machine guns. But
the battles which have taken place so
far are considered only as preliminaries
intended to learn the real soft spot in
the Greek armor. It is doubtful whether
the royal army can resist q determined
effort by the forces from across the
border without the support of the
British units.
These British troops have q syn-
bolic rather than an effective strength.
It Is admitted in military quar-
ters that they would have no chance

Greek borders II 1t came to q show

governments think Moscow would
hesitate to give the green light to Tito
and his confederates in the Balkans il it
were known that the British would de-
tend Greece's territorial integrity.
Whether this belief is based on wishfiIl
thinking Or is the result OF indications
received from Moscow, nobody can saw.
