Merry-Go-Roun

WASHINGTON, June a4-GeneEal Joseph T. Mc- Narney, who Is doing better job as commander of occupied Germany than most people think, likes to sing And when he up to Berlin for his regular visits with the other Allied commanders he always engages in song fest with the Russians.
 As result, the Russians have adopted . new song which they virtually regard the American national anthem. They sing 1t on any and all oCca- sions They think it brings pride and pleasure to the hearts of Americans: and the Red Army in Berlin at least is anxious to please Americans.
 Actually, the song may bring great pride end pleasure to General McNarney, but other Americans privately are getting bit weary of 1t. The Russians have learned the English words, end to the tune of .The Stars and Stripes Forever, here is what they sing as the new American national anthem:
 '-Ta,ree cheers for the Sam Jones Junior
 High School,
 The best junior high in Toledo"
 There are lot more words to the song, and the Russians, apparently not realizing that not all American soldiers have had the benefit of educa- ton in Toledo, Ohio have carefully learned all the words.
 The fact that they have done illustrates point which some of our bracket statesmen don't always realze-namely despite our difficulties with the Soviet Government we have no quarrel with the
 
 relations between the American and Soviet Armies in Berlin have been extraordinarily good At first the Russians suspicious didn't want any fraternza tion of their troops with ours But that suspicion has largely disappeared. The Red Army is a large, unwieldy badly disciplined very human cross section of the Russian people, and that part of the Red Army which Is in Berlin likes Americans.
 However, nobody in the higher brackets in Wash ington or Moscow is doing much to bring the Russian and American people together. This column has long maintained that if we had the US-USS.R. interchange of students that have with China and England as result of the Boxer Rebellion and Rhodes Scholarships, Russian troubles gradually would go up in smoke.
 President Truman had significant talk recently with his old friend Senator Harley Kigore of West Virginia regarding the development of scientific periments and their monopolizaton by big business
 The West Virginia Senator had introduced a na- onal science bill which the great majority of scien- tists supported but which the National Association of Manufacturers has fought tooth and nail. Tnev even induced nice naive Congressman Wilbur Mills of Arkansas to introduce counter bill by which the U. S. Government subsidies scientific development but big business will have large hand in reaping the patents and the results of that subsidy.
 President Truman told Kilgore that he was ena- phatically opposed to this business control especially

A Thought For Today
The Challenge of Russia

Two authors of widely different political backgrounds nd temperaments have recently and separately reached common conclusion about Russia. They Max Eastman, sesyled radical and former admrer and defender ot the Soviet system and John Foster Dues Republican, nterna tona lawyer and expert foreign affairs Their conclu sion is that Russia embarked upon policy o world domination.
 Mr. Dulles writing in Life magazine bases his opinion m Russias domestic policy and her visible of epan sion in the last years. Mr. Eastman in series for the newspapers quotes from Prime Mnste Stan's book Problems of Lennism from other Soviet writings and from speeches by Mr. San and other Kusn leaders.
 other Mr. Eastman stresses the copous record of SoVle commitment to world revolution Mr. Dulles feels that to- day the KreinS emphasis is less revolution than on security"
 intimate experience with Russian thought that the Soviet Union considers democratic capitalism dangerous mpaca be enemy that be overcome and believes that the Soviet Union will not be safe until the Soviet political dea is dominant and unchalenged throughout the world.
 The logic of both authors sound Their evidence can be read behed Perhaps then, is time that the American and the American people stop atng much oratorca heat and start facing facts ana making concerted intelligent plans for avertng crisis
 The government may at length have decided where It's lies. But the people have not And It IS up to the United States of the worlds two strongest naons to oppose Russia's world plans.
 Too many of us waste too much hatred Russia We give way hot exasperated impoen at the ncon- sstencies of Russas prossed democracy and at the m anatory actions of Russias Communist followers In tnls country But fuming and sputterlng will get us noWhere
 Russian policy is what is and we might well accept it. Hatred and anger might better be hardened into de- termination face the facs accept the challenge and pre- vent the ultimate showdown.
 For only when world political policy of lve-andlet-ve h established will the United Nations really be able to start functioning effectively Only then will the prospect ot as ing peace really be bright.

Great Silver HOld-Up

WASHINGTON, June A-( (NEA) The hard boiled bloc of 12 Senators from the six Western silver producing states today faces the mounting ire of U. S. newspaper magazine, photographic and silver industries. Supplies of bar silver and silver chemicals have hit new lows and stocks are becoming increasingly hard to get The threat of newspapers without illustrations is imminent Photographic sup ply houses report stocks of silver nitrate used in film print paper and photoengraving negatives, are now less than two months reserve.
 Behind this shortage is a complex plot involving Congressional politics, the U. S. Treasury and Mint, Lend-Iease operations the OPA ceiling price on silver and the world silver maret.
 Before the war it was generally true that there was silver in the world than anyone knew what to do with. Silver sold the open market at from 20 to A cents troy ounce, though the monetary value was set by law at $1.20 an ounce.
 In 1894 the silver bloc wangled through Congress a law requiring the U.. s. Treasury to buy stocks of silver equal to one-fourth the stocks of gold At that time 1t was pure WPA boondoggle. The growing stocks of silver bullion at West Point became na- tonal scandal though the highest the stockpile ever
 Emboldened by this success. in 1889 the silver bloc got Silver Purchase act passed requiring the Treasury to pay Ill cents per troy ounce for all new silver mined in the U. S. It was rank subsidy as the world market price was then around 90 cents an ounce.
 Under these two acts the U. S. silver stockpile raised to three billion Then the war came along Uses for silver increased As substitute for copper the Treasury authorized to loan out silver stocks for bus bars in heavy elec- trtcal installations. Over 873 million were loaned in this way 250 million ounces going into the atomic bomb plants alone.
 Then All million ounces were Lend Leased to foreign countries to gtve them enough silver for coinage to keep their monetary systems going. This

 An interesting election takes place in Maryland today which will test peoples memories regarding wartime patriotism.
 During the war, Maryland tate Comptroller,
 During the war. Maryland State Comptccller. Willard Tawes, received nationwide publicity of Cadillac all the way to Georgia to attend wedding People who were carefully counting their gas coupons at home didn't like 1t bit. Furthermore the auto driven by Willard Tawes to Georgia was owned by the State of Maryland.
 When Republican Editor in Maryland, RiveS Matthews, brought out these facts, the Democratic Administration in Maryland jumped him rather than on the gasoline wasting Tawes The Republican editor indicted for criminal libel while the De- ocratic Comptroller merely forfeited some gas cou- ponS.
 Now, however, the same Willard Tawes is running for governor in the Democratic Primary with the backing of Democratic Senator Willard Tydings. It will be interesting to see what the voters now think of his wedding march to Georgia.
 Another interesting figure is also running In the Maryland primaries, hkable Gov. Herbert OConor, who aspireS to the U. s. Senate. At the time of the TaweS gasoline scandal, 1t was discovered the Governor OConors wife had been equally wasteful She drove car, also owned by the State of Mary land, all the way to Charleston, S. C.. "for her health" when other people stayed home and walked The gasoline which she used on this trip plus that used by Willard Tawes his Georgia joy ride would drive the average Maryland family to church every Sunday for 90 years.
 Now Mrs. OConor's husband is running for the Senate and 1t will be equally interesting to see how easily the voters of Maryland forget.

silver doesn't have to be returned till from five to seven years after the declared end of the war.
 The mining of silver was practically stopped in the U. 8. and imports were stopped by lack of sin ping
 As the demand increased oPA froze the price at the m cents ceiling That further d1s- couraged the production of this 'messential" metal
 To bring some relief to the silver-using indus tries in 1943 Senator Theodore Francis Green of Rhode Island authored bill to permit the Treasury to sell its stocks of free" Silver-au but the l476 million ounces of bullion now held as reserve to back up paper money and the HI ounces in silver dollars and minor coinage.
 The maximum sale price was set at nl cents an ounce Under this Green act the Treasury sold l67 million ounces But the Green act expired on Dec 31 1945 leaving the Treasury with 22S million ounces of free silver on hand. The U s. Mint will need 100 million ounces of it for coinage in the next two years But the remaining l2s million ounces-abcu normal years commercial suppy-could be sold to the trade to relieve the current silver famine there were just a law to permit it.
 Last Fall Congressman Joe Martin of Massa- chusetts introduced bill to extend the Green act two years It passed the House but in the Senate ran into the aforementioned silver bloc.
 Nevada Senator Pat McCarran promptly intro duced an amendment to raise the price to $1OS an ounce. instead of m cents an ounce. Silver ccn- sliners yelled. 'FObberyl"
 Then in the Senate Appropriations Committee, Abe Mlrdock of Utah tackled 6 rider onto the Post Office and Treasury Appropriation bill for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The Murdock rider put the price at 90 cents an ounce for the next two years. after which 1t would so to $120 an ounce the full monetary value Silver consumers yelled. 'Gurderl"
 Whatever the Senate does will have to go into conference with the House. Anything can happen But it's safe bet that silver users w1 have bo pay more.
