two-day search. Sheriff I. v. Pruitt
and posse from Bisbec and Tomb
stone joined the hunt for the miss
ing man Sunday morning.
The sheriff was notified by tele-
phone Saturday night that Boedeker
was lost in the desert. He went to
the scene with his horse, after re-
cruiting volunteer helpers.
In the meantime, Hunt had found
Boedeker's trail and followed it on
foot, reaching the unconscious man
a few minutes before Pruitt and
others arrived at the scene.
'Boedeker's tongue was out" the
sheriff related "He was uncon-
scious. We forced a little water
down his throat and he said 'ah.
We gave him first aid and called
an ambulance
News of Boedeker's disappearance
was telephoned to Sheriff Pruitt by
the mans nephew, Tom Heady,
cattleman of Patagonia and Nogales.
Heady said he went by the Boe-
deker house, a half mile off the
highway, Friday, and found no sign
of the occupant. 1t was not until
Saturday, however, that Heady be-
came alarmed at his uncle's con-
tinued absence and started an in
tensive search for him.
Pruitt said that apparently Boe-
deker had started across the desert
to a place several miles distant
where a tractor was at work, and
had been overcome by weakness.

frustrating Passport Frauds

One of the urgent recommendations of
the Royal Commission which investigated
the Communist espionage ring in Canada
was that steps be taken to stamp out the
false passport traffic which the commits
sion found to exist there. The report of the
commission contains abundant evidence
that Russian secret agents gained entry to
Canada and the United States with forged
passports and other fake credentials.
There was an organization" the report
stated, whose duty it was to procure false
Canadian passports and other citizenship
documents for the use of agents engaged
in fifth column activities in Canada and
elsewhere"
1t was largely as result of these dis
closures, supplemented by subsequent data
uncovered by investigators on this side
of the border, that legislation to combat
the forged-passport racket was introduced
in Congress at this session. Unanimous
passage by the House of bill to authorize
fngerprinting of passport applicants re-
fleets the determination in Congress to
surround the issuance of passports with
greater safeguards.
Heretofore 1t has been relatively easy
matter to alter stolen credentials to meet
the needs of those who plan to make illegal
use of them. A skillful change Of name

Prices and Foreign Aid

AS lar as our IOTelSH dlU Is COliCtIucu,
President Truman is on much flrrner
ground than Senator Taft in their dispute
over the cause and cure of high prices-a
dispute sounding good deal like the pre-
mature opening of political campaign.
For reasons best known to himself, Mr..
Truman has seen fit to start the argument
by attacking the Senator Cd for saying
that apparently the President and the
administration are abandoning talk of
keeping prices down in favor Of spending
abroad that will keep them up; (2) for the
implications of his view that our loans to
other countries to buy our goods increase
the demand on our home markets and
thus force prices up, and CD for advocat-
ing the thesis that "the only way to bring
prices down is to reduce the demand for
goods"
In a statistic-studded retort Senator
Taft has denied his. advocacy of any such
thesis, but he has not denied his remarks
about the Presidents promoting imitation
through foreign aid. What he has had to
say about Mr. Humans domestic course in
relation to such things as wage demands
and OPA adds up to effective criticism,
though debatable. His remarks on our
loans, however seem to lack fairness and
they are disturbing to the extent that they
indicate that Mr.. Taft-whose influence in
the Senate is very great-tends to under
rate the significance of American help for
the sake of good peace and our own
safety and prosperity.
Certainly, Senator Taft-himself a sup
porter of the Greco Turkish aid program
cannot believe that the administration Is
spending money abroad just for the fun
of it. In the case of Greece and Turkey,
it is doing so to help those countries get
back on their feet and be strong enough
to resist totalitarian pressures. In other
places it is doing so to save millions from
starvation and to promote economic and
political stability. To do this is not simply
to be altruistic; it is to serve Americas
own long-term interests. AS the President
has declared, ITO say that we should aban-
don our efforts directed toward enduring
world peace and freedom because these
efforts create economic problems is like
saying that we should have abandoned our
war effort because it created economic
problems
Our foreign aid has been far from per-
feet. Criticism against it's pecemeal, hit
or-miss nature is to the point-so much so
that the Government is now seeking to
integrate the program with the help OF an
overall plan from the Europeans them
selves To criticize it on this basis is one
thing, but to deplore it-by implication or
otherwise-merely because it may tend to
keep prices up in a heavy-demand mar
ket seems unrealistic in the extreme, par
ticularly when we bear in mind how gravely
off other countries are and how vitality
important their recovery is to us.
Whatever may be said for other points
in Senator Taft'S statement-and some of
them are telling-there is little to be said
for his vague but clearly implied opposi-
ton to foreign aid because of its effect on
prices. To that extent at least the Presi-
dent has the better of the argument.

The potato surplus has started to haunt
Washington officials again even before the
memory Of last seasons glut has been entirely
erased.
In an unusual action last week, the House
passed a resolution calling on Its Agriculture
Committee to investigate means OF disposing
of surplus potatoes from the 1947 crop. Hear
ings on the subject begin tomorrow before
subcommittee headed by Representative Andre
sen, Republican, of Minnesota.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson believes
he has his forces lined up to forestan repe-
tition of the great potato surplus OF 1876
an overabundance that has cost the Govern
ment $50, 10000 For months, in public ad-
dresses and interviews and press releases, he
has argued that the potato losses OF last season
were not of the departments doing. The gist
of the argument is that the department was
only carrying out the mandate OF Congress.
Under existing law the department urged
farmers last winter to reduce the acreage OF
potatoes about IL per cent below 1916, and the
lowest since 1884. Next the agency let it be
known that price support for individual growers
would be contingent on their keeping within
the goals set up earlier this year.
Other measures, some of which were placed
in operation in the glut last year, include
encouraging the marketing of best grade
potatoes through normal commercial channels,
supplying potatoes for school lunch programs
and foreign relief, urging diversion of surplus
stocks to starch and alcohol manufacturers and
encouraging feeding to livestock.
Only yesterday the department called on
public and charitable institutions to apply for
allotments of early potatoes without cost and
with transportation charges paid-and in truck
lots free at Government points of purchase.
But the Government already has had to
purchase 1873 900 bushels of early potatoes, now
being harvested in North Carolina, South Caro-

Interim Solution in India

Those political forecasters who have so
confidently predicted the dissolution of the
British Commonwealth and Empire had
better revise their observations. For
British craftsmanship has just achieved
the seemingly impossible in evolving a
method of handling the Indian problem
which apparently conjures away the twin
specters of secession from the empire and
chaos within India itSelf-at least for the
immediate future.
The British plan, which has been
accepted by the leaders of the main Indian
factions is not a solution" of the i'm
menSely complex; problem which India
presents. Rather it should be described
by the diplomatic germ "modus vivendi"-
way of getting along together. Like most
true compromises, it fully satisfies nobody
not even the British, albeit they are the
chief gamers. But it does offer the pros
pect of immediate peace, thereby gaining
time and creating an atmosphere in which
a constructive solution can be found.
Briefly, the British plan is to partition
India into two or more political aggregates,
as determined by popular choice. These
aggregates will then be given dominion
status within the British Commonwealth,
like Australia and Canada. This means
that they will be completely self-governing
and free to quit the commonwealth if they
so choose. And they are to get this status
almost at once-on August IS. That is
nearly a year ahead of the original date
when Britain promised to quit India and
turn over the powers of government to the
Indians themselves.
What will emerge from the self-deter-
minatory process is a Hindu dominated
'Hindustan" and a Moslem- dominated
"Pakistan." There may also be Rail
STAN which would be confederacy of
the native princes, numbering more than
500, whose domains are set like an irregular
mosaic in the fabric of British-ruled India.
In strict logic, this looks like a political
and economic crazy quilt given the fact
that for some two centuries India has been
a basic unit evolving under British rule
But logic finds small place in a situation
determined by irrational factors like reli-
gious passions and historic antagoniSms
centuries old. Those deep-going feuds
have already boiled up in bloody rioting
verging on civil war. And 1t is precisely
shat grim fact which has sobered the
leaders of all factions, making them realize
the terrible consequences of imposed
solutions.
Britains resolute refusal to be a party
to any such imposition, coupled with its
determination to hand over its governing
powers as soon as possible, has faced the
Indian leaders with an awful responsibility
BY remaining within the charmed circle
of the British Commonwealth of Nations,
they gain the substance of what they have

Dupont Circle Delay

While the prospective delay in construc-
ton of the Dupont Circle underpaSs Is
regrettable, there is bright side to the
picture. The depletion of available cash
in the highway fund means that other
important highway and bridge projects
are going forward at unexpected and
highly gratifying speed. These include the
Observation-Disclosures K street viaduct to
Key Bridge (bypassing congested M street
in GeorgetoWn), the twin bridges which
are to replace the inadequate Highway
Bridge and the South Capitol Street Bridge
to Anacostia. These Improvements are
entitled to preferential treatment
With the acceleration of work on these
projects, it will be necessary to dig deeper
into the highway fund this year than had
been planned. But date for actual con-
struction of the Dupont underpass never
has been definitely SET pending the sched-
uled advertising of bids next October.
Highway officials say it may yet be pos
sible to adhere to this bid schedule Much
will depend on the level of the highway
fund next fall-and on the fate of the
proposed one-cent increase in the gasoline
tax
There is no reason to believe that the
Dupont Circle delay is anything but tenn
porary. The preliminary storm sewer and
other work has gone too far to justify
reconsideration of the plans to proceed
with the underpass, as urged belatedly in
some quarters. This, is major traffic relief
undertaking that should be pushed to COM
pletion as soon as funds and materials
become available.
