Submarines That Breathe

1t is likely that the Navy had
something more in mind than giving
President Truman thrilling under
sea excursion when 1t invited him
to take a short cruise aboard q
former German U-boat of Florida
last week. Perhaps the Navy was
taking the opportunity of acquaint-
ing the President with a German
invention (which seems destined to
revolutiortze submarine warfare.
Reference is had not to atomic
energy but to the "schnorchel," a
proboscis- like extensible tube which
permits a submarine to breathe"
Indefinitely at periscope depth.
The Nazis perfected the schnorchel
too late to do them any appreciable
good in World War II. II Hitler
had been able to equip his U-boats
with the device earlier in the battle
of the Atlantic the Allies would
have had far greater difficulty In
winning that grim contest. The air
pipe, topped by a radar- -defying
head, enabled U-boat commanders
to keep their craft submerged for
weeks at time.
Naval officials have been expert
menting with the schnorchel ever
since they obtained their first SAM
pies Of the device upon the surrender
of German submarines after We
day. 1t is reported that the subma-
rine Irex, launched last year, will
be the first American ship to be
equipped with a schnorchel. It will
be modified version OF the German
"snout." Eventually 1t is probable
that all our submarines will have
the breathing tubes. Thus equipped,
the submarine becomes an even
more deadly instrument Of war.
The potentialities OF such q stealthy
undersea craft as an atomic rocket
launcher are fully appreciated by
naval experts. The chances are that
the Navy did not permit its Com
mander in Chief to overlook these
potentialities during the Key West
demonstration.

operations of last week, already has
good reputation with visitors from
the United States and 1t undoubt-
edly will attract larger groups Of
them in days to come because OF
the advertising which it has had In
the recent past. A pleasant town,
on the right bank OF the Aar River,
1t is inhabited largely by the heirs
of Schwyzers of Scandinavian an
cestry, who settled In the valley
long before history was written.
They are endowed with q double
tradition Of courage which now is
enhanced in significance.

In two previous columns, it was sug-
gested that Republican leaders in Con-
gress had better count their chickens
before they promise deliveries. This ap-
plies especially to the claim that $3,-
100000, 600 can be saved by discharging
Federal employees. The best that could
be expected from careful and neces-
sary pruning of the Federal payroll
would be about 81 600 ,000, 900.
Representative John Taber, proSpec-
tive House Appropriations chairman, Is
on sounder but obvious ground when he
points to certain nonrecurring items.
such as terminal leave payments and
several other Army and Navy expenses.
These amount to 81 500, ,000, 900. Another
billion is in subsidies, now unnecessary
after the end Of price control. A liberal
total of the items above is s., ,000, ,00o, 600.
Another item suggested by Mr.. Taber
Is 81 SOC, ,000,0 900 scheduled for Federal
construction projects. Perhaps this can
be saved by deferring proposed projects
and slowing down construction affairs
like the Pan-American Highway. 1t Is
q principle recognized by everybody that
government construction ought to be
planned and made ready for quick start
when private business Slackens and
big unemployment starts. Such ex-
penditures may and probably will not
be necessary for 9 year or more.
"a
BY granting this claim Of savings on
unnecessary construction, we have
enough savings to bring the budget
down from the current figure Of $41,-
000, ,00o, 900 to about $33, ,000, ,000, 900.
The estimated income for the current
year is $3a, soc, 900 900. II present rates
are maintained and If perchance people
and corporations have the same income
next year (June, 194T-July. 1948l. these
cuts would leave a margin Of $500, ,000,-
600. This, theoretically, is what there
is to cover q payment on the debt and
to reduce tax rates. Al general cut Of 20
per cent on individual income taxes
would amount to about $500, ,000, 600.
That would leave 5000 000. 900 for debt
reduction, which Is minimum to pay
in year of good business and inflated
prices. It ought to be more, but it can
hardly be expected that political Con-
gress will pay more.
This is q speculative balanced budget.
But 1t is highly speculative because there
Is no assurance that the taxable income

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

1t seems fairly obvious that coal viii
not be mined by putting John L. Lewis
in jail. If the Government, with warning
Of Mr.. Lewis intention to reopen the
contract, contemplated showdown, 1t
should have considered whether it was
possible to supply our cities and indus
trieS with substitute fuel and taken
measures in advance to do SO.
"A. coal strike has the effect of q gen.
eral lockout. 1t is estimated that Is, ,00o,-
600 workers will be laid Idle In a pro-
longed strike. Mr.. Lewis demands may
be infiationary but general stoppage
or reduction of production is much
more so.
The Government has resorted to a
juridical solution but its legal position is
not entirely impeccable. The Krug-Lewis
contract was indeed signed for the dura-
ton of Government control, but it also
embodied all provisions of the old con-
tract with the operators except such as
were specifically changed. The old con-
tract said that should there be 8 change
in Government wage policy after March
l, the miners could put forth new claims.
There has been change, and Mr..
Lewis brought this provision into play;
and though the Government denies Ny.
Lewis right of unilateral act:yn, Mr..
Lewis denies that MIR. Krug negotiated in
good faith. And, In any case, the spirit
of unconditional surrender misses the
point in labor relations.
Congress for years has been confused
in its duties regarding labor relations
insofar as they can be stabilized by stat
ute, and has not yet proposed good
bill. But management is also remiSs. "A
vast amount Of serious study has been
given the question OF why men strike,
and that Is where thinking should begin.
x4A
Peter Drucker's articles in Harper
magazine, beginning with the November
issue, synthesize the work Of the best
students in this field and are powerfully
illuminating. But although enlightened
and successful efforts have been made in
individual enterprises to penetrate the
deeper causes of labor,s discomfort and
redesign the pattern of human industrial
relations, management, on the whole,
still thinks of itself as the representative
of capital, rather than as the pivotal
factor in human endeavor.
Yet, whether an industrial society
based on free contract and voluntary
association can survive is the leading
question of the age, and one which is
being negatively answered in much Of
the world. It cannot, obviously, sur
vive by shutdowns and shutdownS. What

Of planning and of educational ac-

Something like this should be said,
perhaps, to the average individual fv-
ing in the postwar era Of 1916: "Ths
war Is over now, although governments
may not declare it so for months to

time to rebuild the world again. Our
help with that will come from those
who are willing to help, and to work.

No Speciul Session

AS tQe LOVeTQm6Ilt COIleS w grips
with John l.. Lewis today in a long
deferred showdown, it. is both desir-
able and right that the President
should be back in the White House
and ready to assume personal, first
hand direction of the moves which
will determine whether this country
is going to be run by the chosen rep
resentatives of all the people or by a
union which happens to dominate a
vital cog in our economy.
There is no reason to suppose that
the shaping of Government policy
during the development of this crisis
suffered because Mr.. Truman was
vacationing in Florida. He is known
to have kept in close touch with his
subordinates in Washington, and it
is safe to assume that he was as well
informed in Florida as he would
have been in the Capital. Neverthe-
less, 1t is not a good thing to have
the President taking submarine
dives or enjoying the sunshine when
the economic life of the Nation is
being directly threatened. Al such
a time the people expect the Chief
Executive to take personal command
of the Governments counterefforts,
and for that reason, If for no other,
Mr.. Truman was well advised to re-
turn to Washington when he did.
One of the more important mat
ters awaiting the final decision of
the President has to do with the
wisdom of calling a special session
of Congress to deal with the Lewis
threat. Senator Byrd and others
have strongly urged that this be
done. It is exceedingly doubtful,
however, that any constructive pur-
pose would be served by convening
Congress at this time.
In the first place, it would be the
Seventy-ninth Congress which would
be called back-a Congress concern
ing which the voters have returned
verdict of mo confidence" At
best these legislators, many of whom
have been defeated, would have
about month ip which to work-a
month which includes the Christmas
and New Year seasons. In truly
desperate situation, they might
enact some hastily considered legis-
lation designed to smash the coal
strike, but there is real chance that
anything of this sort would prove
more harmful than beneficial.
What the country needs is not
legislation inspired by anger or
something bordering on hysteria, but
a carefully considered and compre-
hensive legislative program designed
to cover the whole field of industrial
relations. Barring an unfavorable
ruling from the courts, the Govern
ment already has sufficient power to
deal with Mr.. Lewis if it is resolved
to use its power. 1t is highly doubt
full that anything more could be
obtained at this late hour from a
special session of a repudiated Con-
gress. The real problem of what is
to be done about labor is one which
should be left to the Eightieth Con-
gress, which convenes on January 8
with clear mandate from the peo-
pie to devise some means OF pro-
tecting the national interest from
crippling strikes and other out
rageous union abuses.

Former Brig. Gen. Elliott Roosevelt
Is enjoying himself on his tour de luxe
in Russia. The American Embassy,
however, is not quite so happy.
The former general, whose strong
sympathies for the u. s. s. r. are well
known, is more than embarrassing
American diplomatic representatives
with his exuberant affection for the
Soviets, particularly when, in public
speeches and interviews such as he
made last week, he criticizes bitterly and
unjustly his country of birth and its
administration for the rough and un-
friendly manner In which 1t behaves
toward the Russian government.
In speech which was not reported
in the press outside Russia but which
was heard by American neWsmen who
reported it to the Embassy, Mr.. Roose-
velt declared that Soviet diplomatic
personnel were subjected to huniliating
treatment by the American Government
and that American newspapermen in
Moscow had more privileges and enjoyed
more courtesies than Russian diplomats
in the United States. He also declared
that this country is facing very diff
cult future

Roosevelt, has failed to follow the late
President Rooseyelt's policies Of estah-
fishing peace in the world and pros
perity at home by the closest possible
cooperation with the u. S. s. r. It
has abandoned that fundamental policy,
he said, and has gone on an imperial-
istic binge.

Mr.. Roosevelt, who represents him
self as having known his fathers most
intimate thoughts about creation Of a
better postwar world, approved all the
Soviet policies and is reported in official
dispatches to have made a particular
issue of the State Departments mis-
handling" Of the question of the Turkish
straits.
He informed his listeners that Russia
was 100 per cent right in demanding
exclusive control over the Dardanelles
on which the U. s. s. RS security is
so dependent. II the American and
British governments, he said, were

CITIZEN NJ. A. GREELEY.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial regarding the present
labor situation is much to the point and
outlines the responsibility Of certain
leaders on whom responsibility has been
delegated by their organizations.
It Is most unfortunate that, In these
troubled days. men cannot understand
that right is only right as long as
1t does not create a wrong. For minority
groups to throw the economics OF the
majority Of income earning citizens OUT
of balance Is a wrong which cannot
justify any right so-called. This writer
is not antilabor; but he is concerned
to see his dollar debased and decreased
in purchasing power by the present
programs and actions OF labor leaders.
