An Insurance Move

In voting to keep the local ma
chinery of Selective Service in
working order until June 30, the
Senate Armed Services Committee
has been influenced primarily by
present international tensions. The
draft itself is to expire formally at
the end of this month, and President
Truman's own view is that the net
work of county boards ought to be
liouidated along with it. The Senate
committee, however, has moved to
maintain the network for an addi-
tional three months as kind of
insurance against possible explo-
sions abroad.
The committees action has
pleased our top military authorities,
including General Hershey, director
of selective Service. Of1cially they
have supported the Presidents view,
but in their private opinion, as re-
yealed by the Senate group, they
have been anxious to retain the local
machinery. Considering the psy-
GEOLOGICAL and physical state OF
most nations, it seems a bit too
slarmist to worry seriously about
the sudden outbreak of another
major war between now and June
80 But even SO q case can be made
for temporarily extending the life

Assigning the Blame

In "indicting" the whole COM
munity" for gambling conditions it
found to exist, a grand jury at Syra-
cuse, N. Y, has exposed one of the
underlying causes of lax law en-
forcement-public apathy. After a
long investigation of slot machine
and race gambling activities in
Onondaga County, the grand jury
reported: Police officers had never
been given express directions in re-
spect to these conditions. and for a
period of time sort of tolerance OF
these conditions existed. For this
we indict the whole community on
account of the communitys indif-
ference"
This action was in line with the
comment in the 1916 Annual Crime
Reports Bulletin of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation that the
amount of crime committed in a
community is not chargeable solely
to the police, but is rather a charge
against the entire community"
Among factors listed by the report
as directly bearing on crime trends
are the attitude of the public to-
ward law enforcement problems,
and the policies of the prosecuting
officials and the courts"
Actually, the two factors thus
cited are inter-related, since the
policies of law-enforcement officers
inevitably reflect the attitude Of the
public The Syracuse grand jury
was only dramatizing an old but
still sound theme: The public will
get the type of law enforcement it
insists on and is willing to pay for
It is the whole community that
reaps the benefits of effective en-
forcement-or must share the blame
If anything less than that prevails.

Municipal Court Inquiry

Two reasons were cited by Chief
Judge George P. Barse OF Municipal
Court for suspending his efforts to
obtain authority at the present ses-
sion of Congress for the addition OF
three Judges to his court. One rea-
son was the feeling of Chairman
Dirksen of the House District Com
mittee that such an increase would
be contrary to the economy pro-
gram The second was Mr.. Dirk
sens belief that the committee
should have more detailed data
concerning the work of the court,
and of each of the judges thereof"
than is currently available.
The first reason is less persuasive
than the second one. If the Mu-
nicipal Court is as overburdened
with work as Chief Judge Barse has
contended it is, 1t would be false
economy of the most inexcusable
sort to save money at the expense
of the citizens who look to this court
for justice.
AS for the desire of the committee
to obtain more information regard
ing court conditions before acting
on the request of Chief Judge BarSe
for more help, it is only reasonable
that Congress should have all the
facts before it in deciding whether
additional judges are needed and If
so how many. The Star regrets the
postponement of this or any other
step designed to improve the eff
cheney of this highly important local
tribunal. Congress cannot be ex-
pected to act intelligently in this
matter, however, without the fullest
understanding of the court and its
problems. And an investigation OF
the type proposed by Mr.. Dirksen
should have the salutary effect of
clearing the air of recurrent rumors
that some of the judges are not
carrying their share of the courts
burdens. If they are not carrying
their share they should be replaced
by judges who will.

Of the boards after the draft itself

of the boards after the draft itself
comes to an end.
One reason for this Is the posi-
bility that voluntary recruitment in
the next few months may fall short
of supplying enough manpower to
keep our armed forces up to mini
mum strength, in which case some
form of Selective Service might have
to be revived. Another reason is
that If universal military training
is adopted-as it should be-our
present boards would be admins
tratively essential to the new system.
Looked at in this light, the Senate
committees decision seems amply
justified.

Mr.. Stowe and the U. 5. S. R.
the a. Iouis Post-Dispatc tch

From the st. Louis Post-Dtspatch.
Leland Stowe, like many another
understanding and sympathetic COM
mentator on the Soviet Union, mas
become critic of Russian methods. He
has come the same way as Leigh White,
another fine reporter, into the conv1c-
ton that the U. S. S. r. is doing some
very questionable things. Mr.. Stoves
picture of what Russia is up to In Cen
trail Europe is a dark one. The Russians,
he says, are doing successfully Wnat the
Nazis tried to do and failed.
His indictment of Russian economic
policy in Central Europe is documented
in detail, and still more damning detail
exists, as noted in an article in Fortune
MAGAZINE by Hal Lehrman and Gilbert
Burck. Russia has taken over the econ
on,ies of Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania
and Hungary with the same tactics OF
monopoly, barter and export junk tnat
Hitler used earlier.
The Nazis, paying their trade debts
with carloads of harmonicas and ca
naries, and walling their feudal trade
area against all the outside world, had
nothing on the Russians.
russia bought all the altar of roses
Bulgaria had stored up curing the "aI ,
and paid 1885 kilogram for it when it
was worth $500 kilogram on the
world market. In return, the SoVlets
sold the Bulgarians trucks that were
jalopiss in a years time, tires that
peeled of in chunks, and cotton so pod.
it damaged machinery. =,
And while Bulgaria could have used
many things from the United states, TO
our mutual advantage, its purchases in
this country in 1945 amounted to the
MAGNIFICENT sum of $36-for laxatives
The ugly fact will eventually have to
be faced by every American just as 1t
has been faced by Mr.. Stowe and Mr..
white. That fact is that the Moscow
government is engaged in . trade war
in Central Europe with as much deter
mination and on as unscrupulous terms
as tte Nazis ever dreamed OF.

CoIor-TeIevision Progress

The real news for most persons in
the refusal Of the Federal Commu-
nications Commission to approve
color -television broadcasting at this
time lies in the fact that color tele-
vision has even developed to point
warranting plans for regular daily
broadcasts. When it is considered
that color movies were so long in
reaching the stage where they could
compete with -and-White films,
1t is surprising to learn that tele-
vision in color already is aspiring TO
make public debut.
The FEC turned down the appli-
cation Of the Columbia Broadcasting
System on the grounds that color
television has not yet developed
sufficiently to Justify the assign
ment to 1t Of already scarce wave
bands and that the industry should
experiment further before asking
the public to invest in the neces-
sarily expensive equipment.
To understand the difficulties con-
fronting the pioneers in color tele-
vision it must be remembered that
the merging of the three primary
colors, red, blue and yellow, must
be achieved to reproduce scenes in
their natural coloring. In tele-
vision this means that the subject
to be televised must be broadcast in
three colors and then merged into
a composite picture on the receiving
screen. This may be done in two
ways. The colors may be separated
by a special camera and photo
electric cells, transmitted stimuli
taneously and then merged again
by three special tubes in the re-
ceiver That is highly complicated
process. The other system, as pro-
posed by CHS, is based on the hand
is-quicker-th -than-the-eye principle.
The color separation and transmits
sion is done sequentially, with a
rapidity too quick for the eye to
detect. Although the red, blue and
yellow pictures are flashed on the
television screen one after the other,
the hues appear in such rapid sue
cession as to give the illusion Of
continuous vision in full color.
It is interesting to know that
even as black-and white television
is coming into wider popular use,

Turndown for Tito

The State Departments an
nouncement explaining its rejection
of relief requests from the Yugo-
slav government headed by Marshal
Tito will probably strike all who
know the situation in that country
as fully justified. If ever govern
ment was responsible for a bad
situation, 1t is the regime in power
in sYugoslavia today.
What the Tito regime asked was
the privilege Of cutting in on the
$350,000,000 which President Tru-
man is asking Congress to appro-
pirate for European relief, together
with immediate ALLEGATIONS of grain
through UNRRA or by direct pur-
chase of United States supplies.
The department declines to con-
slider Yugoslavia in the most needy
category. It cites a whole series of
reasons for it's decision. These in
clude Yugoslav shipments of grain
abroad and negotiations "for food
exports to other countries for early
delivery" 1t therefore concludes
that with good administration it
would have been possible for the
Yugoslav government within its
own resources to have avoided the
necessity for now appealing for out
side relief" It likewise recalls the
fact that Yugoslavia has already
received through UNRRA some
$375 900, 900 worth of supplies, mostly
Of American origin.
The departments phrase, good
administration" like the word
charity" would seem to cover a
multitude of sins. Tito continues to
maintain needlessly large army.
He supports big secret police force.
Political opponents fill the concen-
tration camps. Economic life has
been upset by collective farms and
nationalized industry. This commu-
nistic program, so foreign to Yugo-
slav traditions and methods, has not
only aroused the resistance of the
iand-owning peasantry and middle
classes accustomed to private en-
terprise but also appears to have
been inef1ciently and unfairly
carried out. The same seems to
have been true of the distribution
OF UNRRA relief supplies.
The overall picture of Yugoslavia
under the Tito regime seems thus
to be as clear as it is unedifying.
Yugoslavia does not qualify for any
share in the relatively small amount
of relief to be spread over SO many
Worthier applicants.
