ATHENS, - In every nerve
center of Europe, the same phe-
nomenon repeats itself with a
kind of crude monotony. Be-
cause we have been too little
and too late in the past. de-
mands are now pouring in on
Washington from every quarter
for instantaneous de :i5ions Of
the gravest character. affecting
the whole American future. AS
these words are written, the
harassed artisans of American
policy are probably being
pressed for still another such
decision by Ambassador to
Greece Lincoln MacVeagh and
the chief of military intelli-
gence, Major General William
Chamberlin.
Under the Greek-Turkish aid
program, the American mis-
sion ably headed by Dwight
Griswold is already charged
with experimenting Greek eco
nomic reconstruction and sup
plying the Greek army. A semb-
lance of peace must first be
restored to strife : torn Greece,
however, if this American in

staff group will constitute open
acknowledgement of an almost
unlimited American strategic
and political liability in Greece.
Yet the remarkable body OF
men who are in charge If our
effort here, are unanimous that
the decision must be taken, and
taken without any further de-
lay. President Truman can give
the order on his own RESPONSE
bility, under his constitutional
powers as commander in chief.
He will be asked to do so.
1t must be admitted at anre
that these reports from Greece
are intended only as spot
check on a vital national VEN
ture, and are therefore based
entirely on intensive consula-
ton with the Americans in
volved. As described by them,
the position necessitating the
radical new decision may be
briefly outlined as follows:
The Andartes, as the Greek
guerrillas are called number
only $4,000 and approximately
80 per cent OF their strength is
now composed of kidnapped
forced recruits, held in line by
threats to murder them and
their families. This increasing
reliance on forced recruits has
two important meanings. The
sources from which Communist
volunteers were drawn have
now almost dried up. And the
Communist leaders of the An
dartes, being unable to rely sb-
solutely on their men, can no
longer freely use their best
guerrilla tactic of dispersal IN
der attack. Thus the situation
is favorable to a Greek army
offensive.
Unfortunately, however, The
Greek army is now largely i'm
1s@bilized. Heavily superior
forces are always needed
against guerrillas, and especial
ly in this case, where the guer-
rillas are invulnerably based
and supplied in Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and Albania. The Brit

signed all but 40, 900 men to
supply and other duties behind
the lines. Finally, the employ
ment of the 40. goo available eff
fectives is unhappily influenced
by politics.
Students of our own past will
recall how, in the Civil War,
the western armies were at
first tied down by the need to
guard the politically important
border states. Greek politics
are even more pervasive than
American politics in the era of

They are used to Senator Pep

WASHINGTON, Anyone in
clined to give up on the United
Nations General Assembly be-
cause it didn't do anything in
the first month of it's present
session, should compare the
speed record with that of the
last session of the U. S. Con-
gress.
Converting the first week OF
last January, it took the Con-
gress nearly four months to
agree or anything. Then, by dint
of mighty effort, it brought forth
a law to change the name Oh
Hoover Dam.
Talk about frustr alton. The
mighty U. S. Senate is the great
est deliber alive body in
the world - the most deliber-
ate, that is. It took 'em two
months and five days to con.
firm David E. Lilienthal and the
four other members Of the U. S,
Atomic Energy Commission.
In the second week of the SEES
sion, President Truman sent
Congress his first economic re-
port. Congress never did any.
thing at all about that, in the
whole seven months it was in
session. Just think that over as
you ponder your grocery bills
and the other bad news from
the UN headquarters.
In it's one great brust Of speed,
the Congress did manage to pass
the Greek-Turk aid bill in a
little over two months. Still peo-
pie complain because the UN
hasn't been able to polish of
the centuries-old Balkan prob
lem in 80 days.
It was June before Congress
could agree on it's labor bill, its
tax-cut bill, the extension of rent
controls, and rattle alton Of the
peace treaties with Axis satel-
lite countries. It was July -
after the current fiscal year had
started - before Congress be-
gan to appropriate money to run
the government.
Congress had to work nights,
right up to the closing, to do
what it did. Even SO, the pile
of unfinished business left for
next session is strictly super
colossal.
This record is no. recited Just
to refresh the memory on how
inefficient Congress is. Matter
of fact, it's still the best gov
eminent in the world. But the
s.ow-motion speed records hung
up by the U. S. Congress should
be kept constantly in mind when
appra;sing the work of the UN.
The hoos and brickbats now be
ing heeved at the UN are bad
business.

Congress 10 Be Asked
To Create Non-FIyinq
'Woman's 5 Air Force
By John A. Giles

The Air Force Department will
ask Congress to create "Women's
Air Force" similar to the Army's
WAC and the Navy's WAVES, it
was learned today.
A department official said today
the Air Force probably will ask
inclusion of the WAF in bill now
pending before the House, which
would set up permanent WAC and
WAVE organizations within their
Irrespective services. The measure
has passed the Senate.
No provision is contemplated to
allow the WAFS to pilot planes,
he added
Uniforms Undecided.
The matter of a special uni
form for the WAFS has not been
discussed. Presumably they would
wear clothes similar to those of the
WACS, with special Air Forces in
sigma. Air Force plans for spe-
cial blue uniform are being held
in abeyance temporarily because of
high costs.
1t Is anticipated that those WACS
formerly known as Air WACS be-
fore the Army and Air Force sepa-
ration would be given an oppor-
tunity to transfer to the Air Force,
since they would be specially quail
fed by virtue of experience.
Served in FL Countries.
There were 10000 Air WACS
during the war. The first to re-
ceive field assignments were group
of 5000 assigned to the Aircraft
Warning Service in September,
1912. Soon AAF WACS were being
trained for numerous specialties,
ranging from operating radios to
flying as traffic clerks.
<Air WACS served at 226 non
combatant jobs at hundreds of air
bases in the United States and over
seas in 81 different countries.
The AAF also had the Women's
Air Force Service Pilots-the
WASPS-during the war. In n
months, 1,O72 women pilots were
trained to replace trained Army
| officers in highly specialized duties.
Never militarized, the WASPS nev-
erthless flew low targets, partici-
pated in ground forces war games,
flew tactical planes on simulated
bombing and straflng missions and
ferried planes. No peacetime coun-

FARMER HURT
BY POOR SOIL

mo matter how low the price
of the poor soil, its low crop
productivity is a handicap that
seldom can be overcome, is the
conclusion of the Land Tenure
Committee from 10 north central
states whose membership includes
Doctor J. |. Falconer, rural eco
nomics department. Ohio State
university.
Another conclusion reached by
the committee Is, Both the farm
er and his wife must be genuinely
interested in farming and in
rural life. In perhaps no other
business the family partnership
as important as it is in farming.
The farmer also must be able to
perform farm work, since even
with present-day mechanized
methods considerable strength
and endurance are required"
The committee found that the
average amount of capital invest
ed in 1945 in a general farm in
Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota,
Michigan, and Ohio was S21,2l
Dairymen in Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, and Wisconsin had an ave-
rage investment of $23,037 in a
dairy farm in 1Q45
Other types of farm enterprises
in this group of l3 states required
even higher capital investments
in 1945 than general crop pro-
duction or dairying. Illinois cash
grain growers had an average
investment of $60,731 per farm,
Iowa cattle feeders had an ave-
rage of SAT, ,946 invested per farm,
and central Kansas wheat grow
ers had a capital investment ave-
age of S43,946 per farm.
Long-term farm account
records studied by the committee
indicate that farmers who
bought farms preceding a war
and thus got the benefit of rising
prices for farm products made
rapid progress toward final own
ership. Farmers who bought
high priced land in wartime and
experienced drop in prices of
products had to adopt low living
standards for many years or lose
the farms.
