 wyatt said that was a dificult problem. Senator Capehart said 1t was c vicious circle.
 Wyatt Startled
 "Now one more question" the Senator said. Would you as a Sem Ntor vote to give any one man as much power as this bill would give you2"
 That stopped Wyatt. He blushed. He almost laughed, The Senator said he was serious. He said he wanted an answer. Wyatt replied that if he were a Senator, he be- lleved he'd trust Wyatt.
 This went on day long, with other Senators arguing other points, Wyatt attempting to explain his plans by means of charts showing bricks, pipe, and lumber in full col- or, and the controversy getting hot over Wyatt's proposed building sub- sides.
 I hate even to think about 'em, they're So complicated The gen. eral idea is to whoop up production say, of bath tubs, by giving the manufacturers cash rewards for making more than they intended.
 The House of Representatives turned down this idea. What the Senate1l do Is prohlematical. I don't envy Wyatt his job, but I must report that he strikes me as a, solid citizen who'll do his dead- levelest to get those houses built. If he wangles em, the pharaohs, themselves, will be bidding little builders in comparison.

New England Organizes 
 National Guard
 URlt Co Operate
 Next Fob.

Boston, March sI'--CuP)--An All- New England National Guard air force comprising 2S4 planes and 1905 officers and men is being or- ganiEed and will be ready to op- crate at full strength by next Feb ruary 1, 1t was disclosed today.
 Col. Louis E. Boutwell, of Maiden, a Boston lawyer with five years experience in aerial welfare, will command the new force. He said he hoped to have 1t operating at 80 percent strength by July i.
 The purpose of this force" he explained, lis to protect the con- tinental limits of the United States in close cooperation with the reg ular Army, When we are fully or- gani1ed we should be geared for the early detection of any hostile threat and should be able to knock it down before 1t strikes New Eng land"
 Heretofore National Guard air operations in New England have been limited to three observation squadrons in Massachusetts, Conn., ecticut and Rhode 1sland--a total of only 39 planes.
 Under the new setup, New Eng land will be the base of the 5lst Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard. At the outset, all personnel must have seen service in World War II.
 Forty Massachusetts air officers who served in the recent war al- ready have joined with Colonel Boutwell, in organizing the new force.

Egg Output Up
 In New EnqIond

Boston, March 28-(UP)-A total of 2l6,000 900 eggs were produced in New England last month-about 6,OO0,000 more than during Febru- ary l945, the New England Crop Reporting Service said today.
 Despite the increase the rate Of production was only i5.96 eggs a layer compared with the record rate of 1854 eggs in February, 1914. The increase last month over the previ- ouS February was attributed to the relatively large number of layers.
 Commercial hatchery production in the region last month totaled 9,609,000 chicks, record for Feb ruary and percent increase over February, i945.

 So convinced is Sgt. Lysakowskl that the Regular Army Is the na- tion's best job that his enthusiasm led to his being assigned to the Recruiting Service. The sergeant was overseas two years in the european Theater and was with the Tooth Division, 7th Army on It's march from Marsailles through Southern France and into Germany.
 He was in the battles of South- ern France, Central Germany and Rhineland, During the Battle of the Bulge he was awarded the Bronze star foN n1erttortous service against the l7th Panzer Division. His com- pany got the Presidential Citation Tor their action in holding back the l7th Panger Division.
 The new recruiter in addition to Che Bronze Star wears the Eu- ropean Theater ribbon with three stars, and the Combat Infantry mans Badge.
 Tn keeping with the First Service Commands policy of placing men as near their home as possible, sgt. Lysakowski was assigned to the Wa terbury area, which covers his home town, Thomaston. At present the new recruiter has a desk in the United States Employment Service office. The close cooperation be- tween the U. s. Army Recruiting Service and the U. s. Employment Service is an outgrowth of the Armys new policy of competing with civilian industry for man power.

On the Record
Bv Dorothy THOMPSON

The right to grippe is the privilege Of
Americans, and to grippe en- masse in
public demonstrations an ancient habit.
The American people are hardly panic
stricken about the vociferous CT dem
onstrations occurring wherever there are
occupation armies, nor would they sup
port punishment of soldiers exercising
the right of free speech" and free
assembly" The Army chieftains, in i'm
mediately deciding against punishment,
are doubtless acting wisely.
Nevertheless, the demonstrations are
extremely serious, not only for what they
reveal to us, but for what they suggest
to others This is a world in which
great powers are out for themselves,
and in which spheres Of power are be-
ing extended and consolidated. Since
all power is relative, every extension of
the power of one is at the cost Of the
power position of others. 1t is world
in which smaller states are falling into
power completes of the larger, volun-
tarily or by coercion.
Every action taken by great powers
Is taken on calculation of risks.
Observing the behavior of our armies,
from Manila to Frankfurt to Paris, no
power will be discouraged against great
er boldness, and the weaker states will
begin to count the United States as COM
pletely out Of the picture.
There is, for instance. Soviet pressure
on Turkey. Russia might restrain her
self there and elsewhere if unilateral
action seemed in any way dangerous,
but when large bodies of American SOL
diers are jeering publicly and unreproved
at their officers, Russia, and the rest of
the world, will consider us a negligible
element
Our diplomacy, which has staged
little but series of defeats, is still
trying TO secure some measure Of inde-
pendence for the Eastern European
states, exert influence in Latin America,
frame policy toward Spain, and per-
suade Great Britain to modify certain
imperial policies. But neither Com
munists, Fascists, nor Imperialists need
be responsive to American suggestions
or pressures under present conditions.
The disintegration of Western indi-
vidualistic societies fits into Fascist and
Soviet theory and policy. Communist
calculations have always been that war
in apitalist-imperialist" nations has
tens the disintegration of their social
systems, and international Comintern
agents are standing ready to fan any
sparks of discomfort that show them
selves. The American Communist line
that "the Yanks aren't coming" which
continued until the attack on the Soviet
Union, is now "the Yanks aren't stay
ing"
The conception that the Soviets are
opposed to American isolationism-now
that participation is no longer a neces-
sity of Soviet defense-is most naive

Built to Lost
From the Lawrence (Kans) Journsl-wt

From the Lawrence (Kans) Journal World
The new" Douglas County Court
house in 1903 dazzled beholders with
its white walls of enduring stone. It
seemed a timeless structure, good from
that time on into distant future.
Some notion of the way people
thought about it is conveyed in news
paper accounts of the cornerstone
laying. Documents and articles relating
to the current time were deposited in
the stone, for the edihcation of who
ever might be on hand when the walls
might be RACED centuries hence"
Well, here it's only 1916, or 43 years
later, and the courthouse has shown
so many inflrmities and signs of pos
sible collapse that plans are on foot to
build new one 10 years from now.
Some observers of the cracks which
develop unexpectedly here and there
wonder if the still handsome and out
wardly apparently sound building will
last the 10 years.
When the new building fund is &C
cumulated and the county is ready to
try again, it is hoped a structure can
be put up that will not become de-
crepit, and not dangerous, at the end
of 43 years. Public buildings ought
to be constructed to last until the people
who own them get tired of looking at
them.

DISADVANTAGE of SMOKING

Disadvantage OF Smoking
To the Editor of The Star:
Gas which comes into homes in this
area has an odor. Why is any one ever
overcome by gas?
Old people sometimes lose the sense
of smell
Children usually notice odors that are
strange and are possibly poohed- -poohed
by their elders.
But other-aged persons-young people
and middle-aged people-under normal
conditions are supposed to have normal
senses for smelling and should be able
to detect escaping gas in buildings and
do something about it.
Over a period of years, however, I
nave noticed that persons who smoke
tobacco have lost or have deadened
their senses for smelling. (This may
not apply to the recent unfortunate
victims. do not know
But this Is the only apparent ex-
PLANTATION for so many accidents with
gas, and it is the only explanation for
a great many accidents with smoke
ana fire, IN my opinion. The average
person who does not smoke tobacco
can detect odors of various kinds and
that Is one of the means given by ma
ture, supposedly, for protection.
If this point could be studied by
safety authorities, it might be a means
of preventing many accidents-if educa-
tional programs could be presented to
people who like to smoke.

There is nothing they wish more warm
ly than our withdrawal from the Far
East and from Europe. The idea that
they insisted on the United States as
the seat of UNO in order that American
interest in world organization should be
sustained can only be entertained by
those who have not been closely watch
ing Soviet and Comintern moves. The
Soviets want UNO as far removed from
Eurasia as possible, for in Eurasia they
are steadily building their own United
Nations system, which, as Mr.. Molotov
candidly said, is the only form of multi
national state or federation that will
work.
Meanwhile, UNO has no power what
soever over Soviet policy, either to in
fluence or restrain it, in Hyde Park or
anywhere else sufficiently remote from
the places where real actions are occur
ring. So let the United States as host
keep open house to all who come and
60 with diplomatic passports.
The rumbling among GIs is the in
evitable result of creating g. class army,
in which thousands of young men were
commissioned out of universities over
experienced veterans; in which polit-
ical education has been all but nom
existent; in which the peace program
is, from an American view, unintelli-
gible as either realism or idealism; in
which cushy jobs in UNRRA, owl,
WPB, and many other agencies won
all the privileges Of an officer with none
of the dangers; in which discipline and
decorum once the war was over were
hardly better maintained by officers
than by men, as the grab for villas,
girls, champagne, cameras, sifted down.
ward into open black market opera
tions-au within the concept that con-
querors who owe nothing to any enemy
people, owe nothing either to their own
honor.
Add to these confusions and inauster-
tiles the immediate cause of the demon
strations: This country has undertaken
commitments which will require for
many years the maintenance of larger
armed forces than any previous army
of peacetime, and although this has been
known for years, and although the war
has been over for months, no one has
yet any notion of how the Government
intends to raise those forces The CT
fears, therefore, that he is stuck for
years, If not for life.
Universal military training, it is safe
to predict has been shelved. Certainly
CT reactions abroad will not aid it now.
And if the Government does not quickly
propose the recruitment of occupation
forces from volunteers, under a program
offering equality of opportunity to men
of all social origins as we'll as educa-
tion, good pay, and regular furloughs,
even that will be difficult. For when
the uniform of country ceases to be
a high distinction, few wish to wear it.

A Needed Amendment

The District Health Department
Is making some progress in its efforts
to control the spread of venereal
disease. But weakness in existing
legislation is that the health officer
cannot quarantine or otherwise iso-
late known carriers, and an increas-
ing number of them are refusing to
submit themselves voluntarily to
treatment. A pending amendment
to the communicable disease law.
which has received the support of
the District Medical Society. Social
Hygiene Society, Public Health Serv-
ice. representatives of the Army and
Navy medical branches as well as
the, municipal government, has been
reported favorably by subcommit-
tee to the House District Committee.
It is to be hoped that it will receive
favorable action soon. Without the
quarantine powers supplied in this
amendment, it is obviously impos-
sible> for the Health Department to
function successfully in controlling
the spread of communicable disease.
The pending amendment does not
attempt to force any one to submit
to treatment. But it does give the
health officer the authority to re-
move a known carrier from eircula-
ton until he is no longer menace.
Most of them, of course, are willing
enough to submit to the effective
treatment which has been made
available. But recalcitrants are now
free to continue as focal points of
small epidemics of venereal disease.

About Houses in Gault Place

&AcoAA A1OdSSS III odult L lace
To the Editor of The Star:
In view of the fact that the District
Commissioners have decided to spend
$4,000 Of public money and assess. the
owners sl2,500 to save the remaining 10
Gault place houses, have some ques-
tions to ask:
In the first place, the owners of the
houses are the Negroes living in them.
How they will raise sl2,5Oo is more than
know
In the second place, If Col Arthur
thinks this elaborate drainage system
will keep that hill from sliding, why
didn't they install it last April, when all
of the houses could have been saved?
That is the $4,000 question-represent-
ing the value of the houses being torn
down plus the $4,000 put into new foun-
dations last spring. However, I see that
they are reversing the procedure they
recommended last spring. Now they are
going to put in new foundations after
the drainage has been taken care of, not
before.
1t is my opinion that any one who
puts another cent into Gault place
houses without the benefit Of outside
expert opinion Is as foolish as we were
last April.

Perhaps that Is where it will always
be. unless Government is to become the
final authority as to what share of
profits are to 60 to capital, consumer
and labor, respectively.
Many issues were considered and then
rolled together in the final guess. And
then 1t is explicitly said that this report
is to set no precedents. All future dis
putes in this and other companies must
stand on their own merits and be judged
accordingly.
The consumers, who constitute the
major concern of Government, receive
little attention in the report. The board
hopes that production will increase
speedily and that labor and management
may lift production "to new levels of
efficiency and capacity in the interests
OF all the people"
AL the people will join in this hope
But many Of them will also wish that
their interests were more fully reviewed
by this agency of Government which
they all are compelled to pay taxes to
support.

Our Loan to Greece

The $25,000,00O loan made to
Greece by the Export-Import Bank
assumes more than its intrinsic i'm
portance because of a diplomatic
note simultaneously sent by our
State Department to the Greek For
eign Office setting forth the terms,
both economic and political, under
which this and future financial aid
will be extended to Greece. The
logical implication is that the pres
ent Greek loan will serve as a prece-
dent for other applications, thereby
serving as a yard stick for national
credit ratings.
What the note says in substance
is that our Government appreciates
that the basis for Greece's present
economic difficulties lies in it's con-
quest by the Axis powers, and that
Greece's heroic opposition to Axis
domination merits our grateful ap-
probation expressed in the tangible
form of material aid. Our Govern
ment likewise realizes that Greece's
present situation is so desperate
that immediate financial assistance
is needed to avert an economic COL
lapse which otherwise may be in
evitable. However, the note goes on
to point out that the present loan
is essentially an emergency one,
limited in amount to Stave off an
impending crisis and giving the
Greek government an opportunity
to put its financial house in order.
1t is therefore warned that this
initial $25 100000 is sort of pump
printing operation and that further
loans cannot be expected unless a
specified series of measures are
taken by the Greek government and
put in practice. AS our note puts 1t,
this sum, while sufficient to pur-
chase the most essential supplies
and equipment, "oan accomplish
little toward economic recovery un-
less the Greek government itself
undertakes rigorous measures to
control imitation and to stabilize the
currency, to reduce government ex-
penditures and to augment revenue,
to increase the efficiency of the civil
service administration and to revive
industry and trade"

dations, the note indorses the Brit

Facts, Hopes and Guesses
Bv RAYMOND MoIev

It has been clear for weeks that the
General Motors strike could have been
settled weeks ago, If Mr. Truman and
his cabinet had refrained from COM
ments on the merits of the case. The
guesses expressed by Government off,
cials about the ability of the company
to pay were so thoroughly to the liking
of the Reuther wing of the CIO-UAW
that the more conservative and practical
Thomas Murray views could not prevail.
And, as Government had injected it
self into the wrong side of the dispute,
Government, through its fact-inding
board, had to go through the dispute
in curiously oblique way. The major
findings of the board, therefore, are not
based exclusively on facts which it found
or which it failed to find, but on COM
promise And the compromise is among
three commitments-the unions, the
makes the report less clear and useful
than a compromise between the union
and the company alone.
The talk about seeing the company's
books came to sorry end. The fact
finding report says: mo issue of the ex-
animation of the company's books by
the board arose in this case. The board
neither had nor claimed any power to
examine the books, nor did it make any
request for them in the proceedings"
The board stated, further that 1t
found that the company's published re-
ports were adequate to its needs. That
is what the company claimed all the
time.
The concept of ability to pay" turned
out to be fake issue. The board says
that ability to pay was only one Of many
factors that entered into It's findings.
