MARSHALL AND WAC

It is easy to understand why General Marshall was shocked at the Chinese disregard for life, be- cause, as Chief of Staff, he had great regard for the dignity of man. He was always thoughtful for those who served under him.
 One evening he invited Brig. Gen. Claude Adams to dinner at his home at Fort Myer, and afterward Marshall suggested they go to the movies at the Fort Myer theatre The Chief of Staff was about to set out on foot when Gen. Adams said, I've got a car here, with a WAC driver, and we might as well use it.
 When they reached the theatre, Gen. Marshall said to the driver, Private Marcella Schaetz:
 After you park the car, come to the box office and therell be a ticket for you.'
 WAC Marcella did as she was told. When she got to the box of- flee, an usher said, come this way, please" and led her to Gen. Mar shall's box She was cnly a private, but she saw the show from a place of honor between two generals, one being the Chief of Staff. She con- fesses she can't remember what the picture was about.

 Turning to his solemn task of explaining to his own people just what America is ke--after brief personal gmpsehe distinguished Soviet writer Iya Ehrenberg, has ventured series of intriguing generazatons on the role of press and radio Ameri cans, he assures his countrymen nativey inteli gent. but victims of a vast but subtle and we'll masked propaganda which of course is the work of the newspaper and magazine press and radio bread casting.
 In sense MT. Ehrenberg is quite correct. For in free country anyone who chooses make pro- pagnda Every citizen who troubles to make speech in public is likely to be selling an idea in which he believes. And If he is reported n the press his pro paeanda goes into the stcry But the propaganda spread by press and radio in America is the pro- paganda of the American people themselves what they say, what they believe, what they do.
 In the Soviet Union, the press speaks for an authoritarian government. In the Russian pattern the news and comment of all journalism cast in a mould designed by government which is not sponsible to the people. That is propaganda in the true meaning of the term-the indoctrination of a people in ideas their rulers want them to have
 The average American newspaper, MT Ehrenberg says Ignoring the newsprint shortage). lis 32 pages and is full of transformation" Again, he is not wholly wrong. American newspapers print what John Lewis says, and what President Truman says They print what Albert Enstein says and what the Coum- bians in Atlanta Because they will print anybody version of anything provided it be of some possible interest, they inevitably going to provide some transformation They even print what Iya Ehrenberg says-about themselves.
 The American newspaper, might observe in summary, is of 32 pages and full of transformations because it reflects the divergent notions of diverse and plain-spoken nation. The average Soviet news paper is of four pages and also full Of msinforma- --misinfolmation, let it be added, which stems from a purposeful control by who admit no responsibility to the people they govern
 It is a choice between abundant and random misinformation into which there filters good deal of truth, on the American side and compact pur- poseful distortion to serve authoritarian govern ments purposes on the Soviet side It seems safe to assume that Americans with exceptions will prefer their transformation American style, know ing that in climate of freedom the truth will somehow, ultimately make itself known

TEST OF FREE ENTERPRISE

Housing expediters don't like it. most veterans organizations don't yet know what to think and the building industry is confident real construction boom will be touched off Reactions are varied to recent decontrol moves in the building field par ticulary President steps ending rigid control of residential housing.
 It would require a to say just what the con- sequences will be. Clearly, however, stimulation of building should result and at this point almost any home building will help; the shortage is that acute
 If private enterprise and the Federal government together can carry out the promise of President Tru mans new housing program it should be incomparably more successful than the program which was started last February. The new plan marks the end of some O. the worst defects of the l946 plan
 Though the immediate reaction of some veterans organizations is unfavorable that was inevitable. The former Admipistrator of Housing, Wilson Wyatt was persuasive in making believe that the highway to ow-rent housing lay through strict Federal control This falacy was exposed when red tape and excessive regulation drove investors into hiding and actually delayed the production of housing except where profit was practically assured the builders It is now hoped to induce much heavier investment in new apartment houses and other multiple dwellings for rent
 Essential controls have been retained, but must be enforced be effective One Of these is the limitation of non-resdental constructions another is the ban on exportaton of needed building materials The emphasis in the new program living quarters designed to be rented rather than sold to tenants is important. The plan to encourage an apprentice program that will increase the labor supply in building is likewise comnlendable If manufacturers of housing materials can now produce without hindrance, the increase in residential construction in 1947 should certainly be such that the total of all dwelling in the Nation will be considerably increased.
 The more expensive homes probably will be fav- ored in this relaxation Of the price ceiling though by no means to the exclusion of the low and moderate priced dwellings. And, let it be remembered, when

AFL TO ARGENTINA

The oft-postponed Junket of AFL representatives to Argentina is fin- ally taking off from Washington this week.
 Nearly three months ago, the fed craticn was invited by the Peron government to send a delegation down for the purpose of observi I5 lahor conditions there first-hand AFL officials replied at that time that they would be glad to make the visit, but that their policy was against acceptance of any strictly governmental invitation. Shortly thereafter, a supplemental bid was received from the Argentine Fed oration Of Labor, and the U. S.. labor group then accepted.
 However, several hitches delayed the start of the trip for almost six weeks. The party is now leaving aboard a special plane of the Ar genuine Government-own FAMA airlines, and the official AFL dele gation is composed of Arnold s. Aander, president of the State. County, and Municipal Employees Union; Lee w. Minton, president of the Glass Bottle Blowers Asso- ciation Wm. l.. Munger, executive secretary of the United Matters, Cap and Millinery Workers Inter- national Union; Miguel Garriga, vice president of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Union; Ser afino Romualdo, AFL Latin Ameri- can representative; and Phil Pearl, press officer for the federation.
 Argentine Ambassador oscar Ivanissevich is giving a cocktail party for the entire group, includ- ing five newspapermen, on the eve nlng before departure.

MORAL MAN LAGS

Marshall expressed his unreserved contempt for the Kuomintang, the oligarchy which kept Chiang Kali shek in power. A loose confedera- tion of warlorGs, honest scholars, and large -scale financial manipula- tols-money lenders-who traded in human misery, was the way he de- sclibed it He was particularly bit ter about the custom of "cumshaw' or "shakedown" prevalent all over China. Hanegan had already seen how five hribes were necessary to permit a peasant to visit rela- tive in a Ranking jail.
 Marshall outlined his own views on what China needed as, first, complete restoration of civilian rule; second. a broad educational program so that more of the people of China could choose their path to a better world; third, national health and welfare program com bined with national sports.
 Tn the Philippines he declared, T saw how competitive sports de- veloped fair-minded cooperation and team play We taught the Fil- ipinos tennis. They mastered 1t easily and proved that all races have great capabilities in physical development if given the opportun- ity Health is the great wealth of a nation
 Finally, Marshall said, China needs moral emancipation. It is a tragedy, he said, that scientific man is 100 years ahead ol moral man, and that science is l50 years ahead of industrial man in many parts of the world-particularly China.
 Perhaps said Marshall, even I who have been round the world haven't realized how completely

somebody moves iIto . more expensive Eou5o they vacate dwelling place. That means even the conpie tion of upper bracket homes will not be without it's ultimate benefit to people looking for moderate priced structures.
 The same thing may be said of the ending of specific priortes for veterans No matter who builds a house for personal occupancy, it makes one house available for homeseekers and we're not altogether that in the long run 1t was doing veterans favor to encourage them especially to invest in new houses at nflatonary cost If they find somewhat older houses to rent buy they may find themselves financially better off in several years
 The various priorties and restrictions resi- dential construction have been hindrance well as help. Without them, the industry can do business faster and possibly better It remains to be seen whether good judgment in the home construction industry will safeguard against selfish scramble

Per- shing still believed he could win wars, and gave Marshall his opin- ion on various strategic problems After each interview, Marshall rose and saluted
