Specialization
(Cincinnati Enuuirer)

Specialization presume, is good for modern At least in America, where specialization is widely practiced, great progress has been made in general welfare. Our industrial establishment is the worlds most efficient Our health standards are high Our agricultural output is enormous This probably could never have happened unless of people had devoted themselves to attaining of per lection in field of endeavor while negectng other fields
 This was not true in the early days of our develop ment. century ago most Americans boasted not or two but 10 12 skills Even today, in rural dis tricts these abilities retained in But the need for them is passing swfty-and with the need the manual facility and dexterity of the older age is disappearing.
 When we were very young the automobile owner knew almost everything about the motor of the auto mobile he drive He had to-for mechanics were few and far between and motor troubles frequent, Our grandmother-reared far from city or town-had considerable knowledge of medicine. She could make clothes ;hurn butter, card wool dip candles, for sick chickens build fires, deliver babies wash her own hair end mend grandpap's socks
 Grandpap, the other hand, could do few things himself. He expert horseman could make sick well chop wood fell trees, split rails, build barn house, grow great variety of crops, graft trees grind shoot squirrels and up the hired hands leg when the slipped He could barter at market, build carriage, tan hides smoke hams, recite the Declaration of Independence preach a alarmed good sermon if the parson sick, drive a sulky in a trotting race and disti spirits.
 We'll admit that neither grandma grandpap were as skilled in their fields the specialists of today But they possessed complete culture if we consider that word in it's broadest meaning than do their grandchildren. Physically. their lives were much difficult But psychologically-we don't know Sometimes we're inclined to the opinion that too much specialization little need for individual development-may have drawbacks as well as advantages.

of the army in Palestine has become unbearable to country that must husband all it's resources in trying to make both ends meet Strategca concepts, moreover, have changed and much of the importance of Palestine in this respect has been lost Formerly Britan's lifeline" the Mediterranean, but, as result of the impending withdrawal from Egypt and of experience during the war with closed Mederran can, the British making a new Mediterranean by air and road the waist of Africa. This duces the strategic significance of Palestine, though a British withdrawal would leave British troops and influence n Transjordania cut off from the sea- and jeopardze Brains oil properties in the Middle East Finally, British troops in Palestine trying to keep order in an atmosphere of hate are in danger of becoming demoralized.
 The objection to the Creech-Jones announcement is not in the withdrawal such, but in the ntmation that the British will share in the responsibility of enforcing United Nations solution if that solution does not meet with the approval of both Jew and Arab This will simply encourage the intransgence of the Arabs, whose leaders speaking in threatening to fight partition, no matter what basis, to the death In our view partition, recom mended in the majority report of U. Ms Palestine Commission is the least offensive solution, and this was recommended as long ago as l937 by Brtain's Peel Commission. However there is for bargain ing over the particular partition plan before the United Nations for instance the Arabs ought to have Jaffa; and it may be that around the conference the Arabs may agree compromise.
 The British spokesman who made the announce ment to the General Assembly is Britains Colonial Secretary MT CreechJones is the leader in the group within the British government which long ago sought to have partition accepted definite objective MT Bevin would not agree. Tn the present statement there signs of split cabinet covering up disagree ment in compromse with the stress withdrawal On the American side there has been the reluct ance to face the issue squarely. Commission after commission has reported the Palestine problem but report after report has been sheved But decision can be avoided no longer now that a commission of the United Nations has come out for partition. All members of the United Nations pledged to support the world organization, and whatever it decides all nations must share the responsibility of enforcing decision. Alas as result of Russia's blocking tao tics, international police force is available but ad hoe force may have to be created if the Arabs refuse to abide by the U. N. decision No nation should shoulder the task by itself just nation should shrink from 1t.

 Moore also said he worked for the right wing American Demo- cratic National Committee in 1944 and has continued his connections with reactionary chain publisher Frank Gannett and his Committee for Constitutional Government. He also helped Gannett organize the National Food Conference in Chi cago in 1943.
 Making money is easy said Moore in reply to another ques- ton, If you know what the market s going to do. I'll make you some money right away and it won't cost you a dime, if you'll go easy on me. But I'm afraid of you. I'm afraid you m ght put it in the pa per. II I could only trust you, could make you quite a few thou 3and dollars in hurry"

FEATHERBEDDING

One of the A demands of the operating unions on our railroads rule change" that would require Is additional personnel on typical Diesel frelght train Such train is now operated and quite suc- cessfully by of five men-an engineer, lne- man. a conductor and two brakemen Their work is not hard their day short their pay good, their jobs secure Under the rule change demanded, the rail- road would hire 20 men, instead of five to operate this train,
 This is featherbedding of the worst sort If suc- cessiuly put through by collective bargaining or threat strike it is a of the monopolistic powers of unions to compel employers to pay four times as many workers as are actually needed to do specified job.
 Such an abuse of the bargaining power of organ zed workers would be gross injustice to the railroads and their millions of shareholders. But that is not the main point. For the general public has only secondary interest the earnings of railroads The real point that this sort of featherbeddng greatly increases the of carrying goods And that is re- feced in freight rates And that in turn is reflected in the cost of the goods carried by rail.
 The nation today faces serious inflationary problem In large part it is the heritage of war But it is made worse by uneconomic charges worked into the cost of doing business-the cost of producing goods the cost of transporting goods Featherbedding the. most indefensble type of inflating costs Fol it is wholly unecononic It does not give the engineer or fireman or brakeman better living. It merely forces the public-not the ralroad-to pay 20 men for doing the work of five
 Imagine if you can downtown street intersection at which four policemen were directing traffic, in stead of one. If you able to visualize that ab- surdty, you just what fatherbedding means, on a railroad anywhere else. One of the greatest dangers economy. and to our common prosperity, is the uneccnomic expenditure of human labor-which is our greatest national asset.
 Labor unions have done much, through the years, to establish sound balance between workers and employers Theirs. in the main, has been valuable and constructive contribution to American economic life But for featherbedding, there is theoretical or practical justification. It is the of monopoly power force companies pay for doing nothing useful. That is national extravaganza.

MOORE GETS CAUGHT

The other day, however, Ralph Moore got caught cold in one of his schemes for making quick money.
 The Department of Agriculture caught him putting press releases in the pigeonholes of every news paperman in the Agriculture De- partment press room. The press re- lease was a bullish survey of the situation on fats and oils, obvious " calculated to make the price of fats and oils go up.
 The Department of Agriculture press room is set aside for the spe- cific use of that Department in giv- ing official information to the press. It is not for the use of pri- vate persons, especially lobbyists. When a statement is issued there, 1t bears the official backing of the United States Government, and great care is taken with these off cial statements to see that they are not used for speculation.
 Ralph Moore, however, brazenly ignored these wellknoWn rules. Fortunately, no newsman fell for his clever press release, obviously aimed at influencing the market and even listing at the bottom the names of agriculture experts SUD- posed to hack up his bullish state ments. Upshot of all this is that the Department of Agriculture is referring the operations of the Ralph Moore to the Justice Depart ment with view to possible crim- inal prosecution.
 1 So the genial gentleman who has
 l2 phone lines on his desk, boasts a phone bill of $2,200 month, and brags of having more friends or Capitol Hill than anyone else ir Washington, may soon be in a posi- l tion where his Senatorial playboys will think twice about playing with him further.

SENATOR'S SPECULATE

Asked whether he handled the grain speculations of any Senators, Moore said that he did not, but hat several of them had speculated and usually operated through Pache & Go. in Washington, or Farriss & Vose in New York CThe latter is the. firm which handled he cotton speculation of Edith Senator, which this column exposed last year..
 T don't know whether Senator O'Dan.el and Senator Thomas are my best friends on Capitol Hill, Moore said in reply to a direct question.
 In reply to another question, he admitted that the former secre- tary to Senator O'Daniel had made quite bit of money through his association with Moore.
 When Texas constituents called at Senator O'Daniel's office it $ .eported that his secretary used tc refer them to you. and that you set lot of lobbying business that way?"
 Quite cheerfully Moore admitted this was true.
 "A lot ot people come to ODan- -cl with difficult problems, ex- p'ained Moore, "and-refers them to

Naturally charge them a fee. make it right with by helping him invest in commodities that will bring him a good return" This secretary has now left the employ of Senator O'Daniel, and since he was not available for comment, his name is withheld from publication.
 Moore admitted it was no secret that he frequently entertains Sen ator Thomas of Oklahoma quite publicly at various swank hotels, and that occasionally he brought along some good looking company, since we both like to enjoy our selves
 T expect I have more friends on Capitol Hill than anyone else in town" expanded the genial Texan, looking out his window at his Bel gian court beneath.
 On the wall beside his desk hung l picture of Ralph Moore with of ficials of the Jack & Heintz war plant in Cleveland for which the gentleman from Texas did some lobbying. Moore explained that he threw a dinner for 200 Senators and CongreSmen in behalf of Jack and Heintz. who were opposing the renegotiation of their war profits. Another picture showed Moore 1 with Senators Wherry of Nebraska, Thomas of Oklahoma, Bankhead of Alabama and Bushfield of South Dakota dining at the Mayflower Hotel May l8, l945. The picture is labeled Ralph Moore OPA dinner" which the host proudly admitted was one of the most important tuncticns he ever staged in plot ing the destruction of price con- trol.
 When Moore first came to Wash i ington, he represented only the Texas Cattle Growers Association and the Texas State Grange, and the big money started to roll in 2nly after he had helped kill OPA

and then helped the courier give the boy his
bath.
Time for lunch. Riley said at noon. How
about you and MIR. Maxwell going first, Pop?
I'll hold the fort till you get back"
McKewen and MIR. Maxwell went to lunch.
Time for me to put the bead on that dis
patching officer again." Riley said at two
o'clock. Nobody move till come back"
1t seemed to McKewen that nobody did
anything in the most desirable tent of Natal's
transient camp except with the express per-
mission or under the direct orders of Riley.
OCCASIONALLY Mckewen would wonder why
the bossy little man, whose life was wrapped
up in getting his dispatches through to Wash
ington, had 50 cheerfully and unselfshly taken
three total strangers under his wing.
McKewen dismissed these thoughts as soon
as they came. They were unworthy. cynical

kindly, if somewhat loud. human beins4.

on the wooden step in front of their tent. and

would be exploded in single nasty moment.

Now you wait here" Riley said. I'm be
back in little while. And don't let anybody
else move in on U.S."
He was back in few minutes with an Army
doctor and an armful of extra bedding. He
looked little odd. Juggling blankets and pill
lows with the dispatch pouch chained to his
wrist. but McKewen did not laugh. For bet
ter or worse. he and Mr.. Maxwell had placed
themselves in Riley's hands The doctor exam
ined Mr. Maxwell's little boy.
lKERE's nothing can do for him here, but
he's in no immediate danger" the doctor said
You'll get the first available plane seat out
of here" the doctor said to Mr.. Maxwell.
I'll talk to the dispatching officer at once
and see that you and the boy are put at the
top of the list"
Thanks, Colonel" Riley said before MIR.
Maxwell could open his mouth. We'll take
care of him. And Ill see that he gets up to
that hospital if have to get Hap Arnold to
come down and fly him up in person.
BY noon of the second day it began to seem
to McKewen as though this would be the
only way Mr.. Maxwell's little boy would ever
get to Johns Hopkins. Planes kept roaring in
and out of the field, but they were all going
south or east; or they were carrying cargo
that prohibited the addition of civilian pas
sengers. even sick ones; or they we're too full
to take on additional weight.

every man for himself in this bunch"
What can we do?" Mr.. Maxwell said
'You stick with me, Riley said. "You and
the kid and Pop, here" He nodded toward
McKewen who, for the first time in almost
three days. did not resent the irritating nick
name. II know the layout"
1t was apparent, in few minutes, that he
did He winked at McKewen while the pas
sengers we're addressed by young lieuten-
ant, who explained that every effort would be
made to get all of them on board northbound
fights as soon as possible Sleeping quarters
would be provided for the passengers, and
they were at liberty to use the accommoda-
tons of the field. When seat became avail
able in plane, the passenger to whom it had
been assigned would be hunted up and taken
to the plane with his luggage by jeep.
kILEY went into action. He snagged jeep
and driver. In ten minutes he had Mr.. Max
we'll and his boy and McKewen installed in
one of the tents provided for transients. Riley
made quite fuss about getting the tent he
wanted and, when the other passengers began
to straggle into the transient camp with their
luggage. McKewen saw why. The offcious
little courier had captured the most desirable
tent: it was farthest from the latrines, but
closest to the road that led to the restaurant
and the dispatching officers headquarters

The other passengers spent their time pleas
antly enough. They sat in on the poker and
crap games in the lounge at the back of the
restaurant They took sun baths And they
went shopping for souvenirs in Natal when it
was announced that no planes would be COM
ing in for couple of hours. McKewen spent
his time in the shadow of the redheaded oour-
ier's self-imposed authority.

British Report zhukov

" ,hs A.,eeiatsd Press

LONDON, May 21.-Two British
news services distributed last night
an unsuhstantiakAdasAport that MAJ
shall Georgi K. zhukov, commander
Of the Russian troops who con-
quered Berlin, had been sent TO
prison for Is years sosi . charge scf
plotting against the Soviet Union.
The report was attributed to the
American licensed German radio
station at Frankfurt, which denied
that it had made any such broad
cast. Directors of the frankfurt
station produced script and wit
nesses indicating that the report
resulted from confusion concerning
broadcast about sentencing Of 4
Bulgarian general.
The report resulted in q flood OF
inquiries to the Soviet monitor,
which distributes news from Russian
sources in London. The monitor
suggested 1t was a case OF mistaken
identity and said 1t had no informa-
ton that Marshal Zhukov had been
charged or sentenced. ...
Marshal Zhukov disappeared from
the public eye last November when
he was relieved as commander OF
Russia's ground forces and news
concerning him from Russia has

workers and certain special service
and construction employees who have

No professional personnel directly
concerned with medical care are
