PubIic RESPONSIBILITY

The Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton reports that crime in the first
six months of l947 was up rs per
cent in rural areas and down 2.3 per
cent in cities and towns, compared
with the same period of 1916.
With the exception of auto thefts,
which decreased 20 per cent, other
major crimes increased nearly 3 per
cent.
The FBI didn't give the totals for
the whole country.
Speaking to graduates of the FBI's
National Academy, ]. Edgar Hoover.
director, said public indifference to
crime and criminals must be over
come if law enforcement agencies are
to attain maximum efficiency.
He mentioned gambling and sex
offenses as two types of crime FREE
quently going unreported by those
having information.
With respect to sex offenses, the
FBI director said:
Even if prosecution is successful,
it invariably is only stopgag be-
cause some judge may grant proba-
ton or some soft-headed parole board
will grant release, or kind-hearted
but expedient governor may grant a
pardon"

ence, Secretary Marshalps plan for a
little assembly" and the veto.
Some officials predict an increas.
ingly violent anti-American campaign
by Russian diplomats, press and radio.
One diplomatic official said he be.
lieved the Russians had given up hope
OF winning favor from the American
public and would concentrate now on
trying to discredit the us, in. the
Soviet Union and abroad.
About Campaign
The "war mongering" accusations
against nine Americans by Andrei Y.
Vishinsky, deputy Soviet foreign min.
ister, before the international. Assem-.
bly, are viewed as part of that cam.
paign.
So, too, is the attack on President
Truman by Russian magazine which
compared him with Hitler. The same
magazine also published a detailed
article about Secretary of State
George G. Marshall under the titla
"Shylock from Wall Street"
Russia rejected formal American
protest to disavoW the attacks and, in
his reply, Foreign Minister Vyacheslav
NJ. Molotoy harshly denounced the
American press for lying and SLAM
derous articles about Russia and her
statesmen"
Some Washington officials seeking
an explanation for the new Soviet at,
titude feel the Kremlin may have
given the go ahead for an unprece-
dented campaign against the us. to
divert attention of the Russian people
from serious economic conditions
within their own country.
No Visas to Senate
The Russian foreign Office also this
week refused to permit members of
the Senate Appropriations Committee
to enter Russia to visit the us. en-
bassy in Moscow. The committee,
headed by Sen. Styles Bridges (R.-
N.H.), is about to embark on Euro
pean inspection trip.
Sen. Bridges said the refusal
meant, to him, that the Russians want
mo disclosure of true facts to emanate
from behind their iron curtain"

FOOD: Europe Looks to u. S.

DOTH Republican and Demo-
- cratic support appeared In
ing up this week behind President
Truman's plan to have four key
legislative committees consider
$3.50, 900, 900 stopgap fu~d for VIM
ter aid to Europe before deciding
whether to call special session of
Congress this fall.
The hot potato of special session
was dropped squarely into the laps
of the House and Senate Foreign Re-
lations and Appropriations Commit
tees. If these Republican-dominated
standing committees request it, Mr..
Truman indicated, he will reconvene
Congress. If they turn thumbs down,
a special session would do no good.
Two Problems
At special White House confer
ence early this week the President
told Congressional leaders there were
two problems.
The first is the long range problem
embodied in the Marshall plan for re-
habilitating Is European nations,
which Congress could handle at the
regular session in January. The Sec
ond is short range plan for emer-
gency aid to tide these countries over
the winter.
The White House said bluntly that
unless fuel and food were provided
this winter for France, Italy, Austria
and some other nations there would
be no point to even considering the
long range Marshall plan, because
some of these key countries would
have collapsed by spring.
England is not included in the stop
gap program.
The bipartisan leadership ex-
pressed no opposition in advance to
the short range plan but they indi-
Gated that when floor debate started
it undoubtedly would be centered on

Science
Radioactive Fertilizer

The theory that radioactive sub
stances might increase the yield of
crops, reported recently from Japan,
was buttressed this week with reports
that similar increase was noted
when radioactive fertilizer was used
on the ll8-acre farm of Henry A.
Wallace in Westchester County, N. Y.
A spokesman for Wallace said that
tomato plants treated with radioac-
tive fertilizer showed 80 per cent
increase in weight yield over plants
grown with ordinary fertilizer.
The radioactive substance, obtained
from a neighboring watch factory
where. it is byproduct in the manu-
facture of radium-treated watches.
constituted about one-trillionth OF
the total fertilizer bulk used by Wall
lace.
Meanwhile, Hugo Gernsback, pres
ident of Radcraft Publications, adj.
vanced the explanation that sterili-
zation of the ground by the Nagasaki
atomic bomb two years ago accounts
for the increased crop yield this year.
Increases of so to 800 per cent were
reported by Takeo Furuno, Nagasaki
prefectual agricultural expert, on his
small plot near the epicenter of ths
bomb blast.

Germany
Postwar Jifters

TOStWQT JtII0tS
u. S. Army maneuvers in the
American-occupied zone of Germany
have set off widespread rumors
among the Herrenvolk of an impend-
ing new war-a subject which Ger
mans often discuss privately.
The Army broadcast that the Ger
mans must halt all traffic and leave
the streets when they hear air raid
sirens4-the same alarms that warned
them Allied bombers were coming.
Both in Stuttgart and Frankfurt,
many Germans were reported inspect
ing their cellars, packing emergency
kits and spreading wildly-erroneous
stories about massing of troops.
Meanwhile the bizonal economics
council of the British and American
zones adopted drastic law confiscat-
ing the entire potato crop to combat
the potato shortage caused by last
summers drought
Under the law, farmers may retain
only small portion of their crops
for seed and personal use. The re-
mainder must be turned in for dis
tribution through rationing channels.

All Wet, Say Methodists

The Methodist Board of Temper
ance leveled its 16-inch guns this
week at Adm. William F. (BulD
Halsey for saying that Gas a general
rule, l never trust a fighting man
who doesn't smoke or drink"
The Board retorted that drinking
makes men fight "in thousands of
saloons every day, but we never knew
it to make anyone fight better"
Many of the greatest military men
the world produced have been dry,
the Methodists said, listing Sgt.
Alvin York, Jimmy Doolittle, Robert
E., Lee, Jeb Stuart and Stonewall
Jackson, who feared whiskey more
than bullets"
Perhaps" said the Board, 'the ad-
miral would not trust these men,"
Criticize Leyte Tactics
The Methodist broadside recalled
that there had been widespread,
although behind-the-hand criticism"
of Halsey strategy as Third Fleet
commander in the Battle of Leyte. 1t
said that Halsey decided to leave San
Bernardino unguarded and take his
fleet northward-"exactly what the
Japanese wanted him to do.'
For all they know, the Methodists
said, the admiral was drinking
only coffee at the time.
I'VE do know" the Board con-
tinued, "that the man who was
tricked into doing what the Japanese
wanted him to do, was not the man
who so accurately and brilliantly
assessed the situation when he advised
the immediate invasion of Leyte, who
conceived the sweep of the China
Sea, who executed the devastating
strikes on the Philippines"
Halsey, whose reflections on liquor
in recent series of magazine articles,
brought on the Methodist blast, didn't
have even one shot in rebuttal. The
old sea dog, now retired, who roared
louder at the foe than his 16-inch
rifles, said meekly in San Francisco,

Meanwhile practical demonstra-
ton on how to beat erosion was
staged by the U. S. Soil Conservation
Service in cooperation with the Lick
ing County, Ohio Soil Conservation
district, at Brownsville, a little VIII
lage of 200, 40 miles east OF Columbus.
In one day, 208 acres of over
farmed and eroded hill land were
restored, so far as science could do it,
to the condition in which the pioneers
found it centuries ago.
Five hundred men did the actual
work. 400 of them Gil trainees in
vocational-agricultural classes.
Using rs tractors and 80 lime
spreaders, they contoured, re-fenced,
fertilized and replanted the entire
208 acres. They started a productive
crop rotation program and planted
the permanent meadows in alfalfa.
Sleeper slopes were dotted with seed
ling pines, planted by Boy Scouts.
This big one-day bee was the third
effort of its kind in the country to
show the latest methods of licking
erosion and keeping farms at high
productive levels. The first was held
near Des Moines, Ia, before the war
and the. second near Milwaukee a

Politics
In Britain

Unlike the United States,
- Britain has no national cleo
ton scheduled every four years.
The British political party in
power stands or falls on issues
and it faces the possibility of an
election on almost any key controversy.
The political crossire between Brit
ish Labor and Conservative leaders is
extremely heavy during the present
critical economic crisis.
Appointment of Sir Stafford Cripps
as Britain's economic czar to cope
with the financial crisis was seen as
the first installment of sweeping
changes in the Labor Cabinet.
Government spokesmen said inn
pending further Cabinet changes
would not affect Hugh Dalton, Cham
rellor of the Exchequer, or Foreign
Secretary Ernest Bevin, who along
with Cripps and Herbert Morrison.
deputy prime minister, make up the
Big Four of the Attlee Cabinet.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Clement
C. Attlee complained this week that
Winston Churchill, Tory leader, tried
to exploit for party advantage every
difficulty that arose for the govern
ment
Not the Wartime Churchill
1T is very different from the
Churchill OF the war" Attlee said,
'.who exhorted the people to bear
bl avely the inevitable hardships
which war entaIed end now appar-
emily IS exhorting them to whine ana
to blame
Attlee declared that Churchill knew
the kingdoms economic plight was
an aftermath of war and world food
shortages and not caused by actions
OF the Labor government.
Speaking that same day before a
Conservative Party rally, Churchill
declared the economic crisis "is only
foretaste of what is to come"
What German U-boats could never
do TO us has been achieved by our
own misguided fellow countrymen,"
he said, through their incompetence,
arrogance, thousands of regulations.
Under Socialism, it will not be pos
sible for more than two-thirds OF our
present population TO live in this
island"
Backs Us. Foreign Policy
Churchill cornplilnented the United
States for its great conformation OF
militant Communism"
The wartime British leader recalled
his Fulton. Mo-. speech two years ago
when ne attacked the Soviet iron
curtain, declaring:
American opinion, at first startled
and much divided, has since those
days flowed along the lines indicated
To such an extent that if Repeated
