desperately searching for a new
foreign policy.
"Of course, every informed
man realizes that If we throw
ourselves into the arms of the
Soviet Union, we must end in
the status of Czechoslovakia, !"
one member of the government
bleakly remarked to this report
er "But it's also true that we
can't conceivably feed our peo-
pie, keep our industry going and
meet, our expensive overseas
commitments, without a broad,
constructive American effort to
put the western world on its feet
again. If you weren't very gen.
erously and wisely making that
effort, We should be forced-by
bankruptcy if for no other rea-
son-to try a new policy of max
ing a deal with the Soviets."
This man was certainly exag-
gerating considerably. There is
not much need to fear an active
ly pro-Soviet British policy. Yet
the results will be grave if the

burdens-such as the burden of
the German occupation which
she is now bearing in common
with us. The Soviets have their
eye on this possibility, as the
signing of a temporary Anglo
Soviet trade agreement plainly
suggests.
One of the negotiators has tell
ingly descri bed Britain's at
tempts, now crowned with sue
cess, to open trade with the So
Wet world. They have been, he
said, "like the trade between
two hostile savage tribes. One
tribe leaves arrowheads at the
trading stone and goes away.
The other inspects tn e arrow
heads, leaves the price in grain
and goes away. Then the arrow
head makers come the next day
and take the grain; and after
that the grain growers creep up
to get their arrowheads. In
short, at present, these dealings
are for mutual convenience
only. Yet the fact that the Anglo
Soviet agree m ent has been
signed, makes the outcome all
the more certain, if tn e Con-
gress gives the European re-
covery program the Taft -Wher-
ry Taber treatment. In that
event, we can be sure that the
present Anglo American part
nership will be irreparably
preached.
Furthermore, even if we do
what the British regard as our
share of the joint job, there is
another problem to be consid-
cred. Behind the petty imi-
tations, mentioned in a previous
report, the Anglo American re-
1ationship conceals a very curl
GUS psychological problem.
Very briefly, the great Wins
ton Churchill's greatest single
feat of political virtuosity was
the way he dealt with our gov
ernment. Consistently, from the
time of the battle of Britain, he
made things easy for American
leaders in every way that he
reasonably could. American Of
ficials became accustomed to
this treatment. The same treat
ment was not offered them how
ever, by the postwar Labor gov
ernment, which was too OBJ
sessed with it's own gigantic and
terrible problems to try to make
things easy for anyone else.
Therefore, the A meric C an Of

On His Way Out

! When John L. Lewis sent his four-word
Installation notice to William Green and
took his United Mine Workers out of the
American Federation of Labor there was
widespread speculation and considerable
apprehension as to what this lone wolf OF
unionism would do next.
AS of the present he has done nothing
to create serious apprehension. One Wash
ington correspondent seems to feel that he
will not do anything of particular import
and gives as his reason for so believeing
that Mr.. Lewis 'has relatively little free.
dom of movement, either in labor politics
or in national politics"
"His defeats" says the correspondent,
"have accumulated and because OF them
he no longer can cause his opponents to
quake in their shoes at the shake of his
eyebrows"
How about his defeats? Back in 1910 he
told the UNIV and the CIO to choose be-
tween President Roosevelt and himself.
''They did not choose Mr.. Lewis" Then,
with communist backing, he tried to run
Philip Murray out of CIO leadership. The
CIO 'stuck to Mr.. Murray" Following the
war 'Mr. Lewis held pistol at the fed
eral government and told President Tru-
man that the administration would meet
his demands-or else. In effect Mr.. Tru-
man told him to pull the trigger if he
dared" Whereupon Mr.. Lewis thundered
he would not submit to government in
junction. HE did," Shortly thereafter he
led his docile mine workers back into the
AFL fold and encountered more trouble
The AFL wanted to fight the Taft Hartley
Act politically while obeylng the law. Mr..
Lewis insisted the AFL defy the law by
refusing to sign the anti communist affi-
davits. The AFL leaders decided to part
with him rather than lose the facilities and
protection of the National Labor Relations
Board.
At every turn since 1910 Mr. Lewis has
failed to be the American Molotov. But he
has one more chance to get back into the
limelight, however feeble its rays might
be. He might join Henry Wallace in third
party movement. However, the CORE
spondent points out, their views are so an
tagonistic they would find difficulty in con

Gentlemen Of The Bar
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON - The towns
night club proprietors think that
they have discovered what has
happened to their business.
For the past several months,
the capitals bars and night
spots have been emptier than
the halls of Congress the week
before an election. Lonely in
their own joints each night de-
pressed owners have had to
amuse themselves by dreaming
of the good old days.
The mystery of the slump was
that there seemed to be just as
many persons around who need
ed exposure to entertainment as
there had always been. Hotel
rooms were harder to get than
during the war. People still
read the death notices for leads
on apartments. The Bureau OF
Labor Statistics said that other
businesses were making more
money. And the Department OF
Commerce was still saying that
D.. c. residents were out in front
in the yearly race to drink more
liquor per capita than any other
group in the country.
Then one night, as the story
goes a bar owner with an urge
to talk to somebody decided to
use an invitation to an embassy
PARTY he had gotten from a
fourth secretary who owned him
20 bucks. The first thing that
surprised him was that they
didn't ask for his invitation at
the door. And inside, he recog-
n:zed several persons who had
formerly been his best custom
ers. He pushed up to one Of
them and asked where he had
been lately. The tipsy former
customer said frankly:
"Don't be silly. With the cost
of living where it is, why should
buy my liquor from you when
I can get it here free and with
tonier drinking companions than
the ones you furnished"
"But how did you get in
vited?" asked the bar owner.
Invited? Say you are slow.
Like everybody else here, I just
walked in"
Here it hit him like a flash
was one answer to where his
business had gone in the last
few months. Next day he
spread his discovery among his
distressed competitors. They
decided to see if it was true
that the free vodka, slivovitch
and rum which the embassies
poured to unlimited guests was
cutting in on their business.
Their fears proved well-found-
ed. Distraught social secretaries
for the embassies say that the

lntOleraple. IN tne PAST IN WASH
ington the number Of crashers
was a calculated risk. Today it
is the frantic hope of hosts that
at least a few of the invited
guests would arrive early
enough for a couple of drinks
and a sandwich before the
hoard Of the unlimited took
over.
Only the British and Russian
embassies don't have this prob
lem, 1t appears. They have such
a reputation for invulnerability
to crashers n.body bothers to
try it. If you don't have the
pasteboard you don't enter.
The current party fare at these
two places is pretty lean, how
ever.
But at the other embassies
it's apparently too late to do
much about the situation. The
important guests aren't in the
habit of br inging their invi-
tations. And if you make one
mistake and keep out an inn
portant guest it could mean
war with Peru or something
equally as serious.
And even if the embassies
would try hard to keep the
crashers out, it would be diff
cult. There are infallible meth
DDS of getting in without having
been invited.
The best one used by many
persons, is to liugcr at the outer
entrance until a car with dip
lomatic license drives up to
empty its passengers. You sort
Of get in the crowd be talking
to one Of the legitimate guests
and be part of the entrance
confusion. Nobody's going to
start matching noses with invi-
tations at such a time.
The most popular method of
crashing, however and the most
simples is just to sweep in with
a grand air and don't give any
body a chance to ask for an
invitation. Even the legitimate
guests do this, 80 it's hard to
pick the phonies.
But, according to Sam
Schanker manager of Washing
tons Club Cairo said to be the
city's only "real" night club,
something can be done about
this problem. He's one of the
few proprietors who is trying to
attract the customers with first
class entertainment and good
liquor. He says:
IF they'll let me, I'll tell
them how to make their joints
crash proof. The quickest way
to keep the floaters out would
be to stop serving liquor for a
while. Then we'd have our pa
irons back fast enough"

The Neediest Cases

The News is publishing series OF au-
thenticated articles dealing with suoJect
that not often enough is given heed to by
Americans-that of our fellow mans needs
In the first of the several cases men
toned - all of which are emergency ana
worthy, else the Associated Charities Woulo
not have listed thenn-is one that perhaps
outranks all the others in hopelessness.
This is of a poor father with family.
What makes this case especially deserving
is the fact the father is diabetic Being
diabetic. which is an incurable, though pain
less disease, is bad enough. The more than
one million known cases know this to be
true.
But being without proper food, and with
out the funds to purchase lnsulln Whlch
has a price, is as certain to lead to death
as would standing in front of an onrushlng
train.
Perhaps some one will arrange to get
this man the needed insulin. One druggist
said he would be glad to forward some
if the address were known to him. 1t shall
be.
All this leads to the one-day of the year
sort of Christianity. The folk who let their
charity hair down on the one day, do a
few things for less fortunates, and then
Immediately proceed to forget them for the
rest of the year.
The case of the diabetic should arouse
in Wilmingtonians this thought: That at no
d. time should anyone in this condition be
permitted to suffer, perhaps collapse from
lack of insulin. Illnesses of this sort-of
any sort-such as this which is not the
result of excesses and wrong living, but
due to a glandular condition that continues
to mystify the medical profession, should
be given continuous aid by Americans A
new plan it would seem, is needed. Per-
haps just an American Plan.

Camera Makes
Photo in One Minute
Finished Picture Is Equal to the
Dark Room Products.

NEW YORK. - A revolutionary
new camera, which turns out a fin
ished picture one minute after the
shutter is snapped, accomplishing
in a single step all the processing
operations of ordinary photography,
was demonstrated here before the
Optical Society of America by it's
inventor, Edwin H. Land of Boston,
the discoverer of Polaroid.
Several types have been built,
Land said. The inventor, demon
strating a portrait type and also one
of the size frequently carried by
news photographers, said the proc
ess could be adapted to any camera
and possibly to making motion pic
lures.
The camera produces a fully-fin-
ished picture, of the same quality
as if developed and printed by dark
room technique.
The one-step camera, which uses
ordinary silver-bromide film, has
its secret in a tiny capsule of chemi-
Gals that produces all the ordinary
developing and printing steps inside
the camera.
After the picture is snapped, the
inventor explained, the film rolls
onto a piece of special Photographic
paper, with the two face to face,
and in contact, and with the capsule
between them. The capsule breaks
and the contents spread between
the film and Photographic paper.
The capsule spreads out the ordi-
nary developer of the silver film
and the ''hypo" so familiar to
photographers.
Also contained are chemicals that
control the size of the silver grains
that make the picture, the color of
the print, that prevent discoloration
and that make the process work
over a wide range of temperatures.
Land said motion pictures and
color pictures have not been made,
but that the principles are appli-
cable to both.
