Two-Year Grievance

To the Editor of The Star:
am an overseas veteran who has been
discharged two years, but my dislike for the
majority of the officers during the war still
persists.
There were too many officers who were
failures in civilian life because of their lack
of knowledge of leadership and weren't capable
of holding the respect of their men. So what
happens? The war comes along, and the
service rescued them by giving them commits
sions. These officers were willing to accept the
extra privileges, but were reluctant to accept
the responsibility.
A good sergeant was of more value to the Army
than any 20 second and first lieutenants. I
don't say all the officers were oyerrated, because
there were many officers who could do anything
they asked their men to do, but I'm speaking
of those who were guilty of not being able to
hold the respect of their men.
JUSTIFIABLE GRIPPE.

Why Did Russia Rotify?

1t would be pleasant to believe that
Moscows sudden ratification of the peace
treaties with Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary,
Romania and Finland was due either to
a desire to further world stabilization or
to the pressure of world public opinion
which had been widely critical of Moscow's
delayed action in the matter.
Unfortunately, the entire pattern of
Moscow diplomacy, plus the special cir
cumstances involved, warn against such
wishful thinking. The weight of evidence
clearly indicates that the masters of the
Kremlin have chosen this as the best
moment to further their special interests
by ratification.
To begin with, even in the treaty nego-
tiations, Russian diplomacy extorted many
concessions as to the settlements. The
most notable "of these concerned war
reparations and troop dispositions. So
large part of the reparations bills even
from Italy, were earmarked for Russia or
its satellites that Moscow acquired poten-
tial economic strangleholds which it has
been Tightening by economic pactS
made with the Communist dominated
regimes installed throughout East-Central
Europe. The biggest Joker" was however,
the agreement whereby Russia was per-
mitted to keep troops in Romania and
Hungary to Safeguard its lines of COM
munication' with the Russian zone of
Austria until a peace treaty with that
country should have been ratified; whereas
the Western Powers would have to evac-
uate their occupation troops from Italy
within 80 days after the peace treaty with
that country had gone into effect. Now
Russia is the sole judge of the commu
nicationS forces needed with Austria, and
there is no sign of Russian willingness
even to discuss an Austrian treaty except
on terms which would make that country
q Russian satellite. So Moscow holds both
ends of the stick.
Meanwhile, the Communist dominated
regimes of Bulgaria, Hungary and Roma
mia, with the backing of Russian occupa-
ton forces, plus the Communist regimes
of Yugoslavia and Albania, have so tight
ened their grip by brute force and terror
ism that, even without the actual presence
of Russian troops, it Is doubtful that any
effective opposition could materialize.
Moscow has employed the interim period
only too well.
It is now obvious that Moscow intends
to push the claims of Bulgaria, Hungary
and Romania for membership in the
United Nations. But statements by Mr..
Gromyko and the Soviet press indicate
that Moscow will oppose the petition of
Italy, because, forsooth, Fascist in
tiuences still persist in that country!
- bat Co
II Moscow vetoes Italy, we can reaff1rm
our recent opposition to the admission OF
the Balkan trio on the ground that their
present regimes have shown either their
pnwillingness or their inability to live up

Preparing to Fight TB

The appointment of William E. Leahy as
chairman of the Citizens Committee for
the Washington Mass X-ray Survey assures
this important public health project the
type of civic leadership essential to its
success. The city-wide tuberculosis check
up, scheduled to begin early next year, will
be only as effective as the degree of public
cooperation obtained by the committee.
And the degree of cooperation will depend
largely on the public's understanding of
the campaign and confidence in those
sponsoring it.
Health Officer Rutland is fortunate in
securing a chairman whose long record of
unselfsh public service in many civic,
social and patriotic causes has earned him
the respect of the community. His war
time public duty, as local director of Selec-
tive Service, and his more recent service
as chairman of citizens group inveSti-
eating the Community Chest, called for
and observation-disclosures tact and lead
ership of the quality that will be required
in the X-ray survey.
The survey to be undertaken jointly by
the District Health Department, the United
oLdGGS FQUllC 11CdlIIl 0CINlCC dllu I4lC LID
trict tuberculosis Association, will present
to the citizens of Washington an extra
ordinary opportunity to take stock of their
own health and that of their families. BY
taking advantage of this chance to
reassure themselves of their freedom from
TB infection, or to learn OF any infection
in time to forestall serious if not fatal
afiiction, those who participate in the
campaign will be serving not only their
own interests but the best interests of
the whole community.
Wholehearted individual cooperation in
the forthcoming health enterprise thus is
a prerequisite to the full realization of
the objectives of this first city-wide COM
bined attack on TB-a disease which con-
tinues to bring an unnecessary burden of
suffering, tragedy and grief to the people.
The progress of the campaign In the Ma
tion's Capital will be watched with interest
by health authorities and citizens generally
of many other cities and towns. Every
citizen should join with Chairman Leahy
and his committee in making certain that
the battle against tuberculosis does not
fail in Washington.

Bring the Wright Plane Home

The distress with which officials of the
Smithsonian Institution have learned of
the destruction, apparently during the
confusion of war, Of priceless" replica
of the Wright brothers 1902 glider is un-
derstandable. The discovery comes at
time when officials of the institution are
trying to arrange the return to this coun-
try of the first Wright flying machine"
This historic plane was sent to the Ken
sington Museum in London some years
ago as the climax of dispute between Or
vile Wright and the Smithsonian Institu-
ton over wording of sign on the Langley
"aerodrome."
Loss of the glider replica, built by Mr..
Wright with Army aid cannot be blamed
on the institution. The reproduction an
exact copy of the last glider used by Or
vile and Wilbur Wright in their expert
ments at Kitty Hawk, N c., was con-
structed in the late thirties for exhibition
in the Army Air Museum at Wright Field.
This museum is not under control of
the Smithsonian. 1t was not until recent
inspection of the museum that absence of
the glider was discovered. Inquiries dis
closed that the exhibit was moved from the
building during the war to make room for
expanding activities of the Army Air
Forces at Wright Field. 1t is reported that
Army officers ordered the glider destroyed.
1t is hard to understand how any officer
could have issued such an order on his own
responsibility And it will not be easy to
explain the loss to Mr.. Wright, who devoted
so much time and energy to building the
replica.
1t would be exceedingly unfortunate If
this incident should adversely affect eff
forts of Smithsonian authorities to secure
the return to America of the original
Wright plane. The institution long since
had agreed to modify its description of the
Langley craft as the worlds first aircraft
capable" of carrying man in flight and
to give full credit to the Wrights as the
first to fly in heavier-t -than-air machine.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Wright will CO.
operate in the plans to bring his historic
plane back to the United States, where it
belongs.

Fred Roe

The world lost "a peoples painter" when
Fred Roe died the other day in London
He was an artist who never attempted to
represent anything so relatively inconse-
ouential as himself. His field was the
world and everything in it, and he worked
with reverence for reality which was rare
in his era. Yet he did possess imaglna-
ton. and when it was necessary to have
recourse to it he could employ it skillfully.
Mr.. Roe's preparation was thorough. He
was the son of miniaturiSt and engraver,
studied at Heatherley and under j. Sey-
mour Lucas, whose tradition he may be
said to have continued" The first of his
pictures to be exhibited at the Royal
Academy appeared in 1887. He was par
ticipant in practically every show from
that date onward until 1943. Meanwhile,
he contributed to the Royal Institute, the
Paris Salon and other galleries. The Lon
don Times says his productions are in
thirty permanent collections, including the
Victoria and Albert.
Army and navy themes appealed to MIR:
Roe especially, and he completed dozens OF
memorial canvases for the services. One
of his best-known subjects was Nelson
Leaving Portsmouth for the Victory"
study of the Scots Guards at Saint James's
brought him popular applause in 1929.
Two genre enterprises-"The Cardinals
Kitchen" and Quality Street were widely
copied in the Illustrated magazines in 1888
and 1884. Several interpretations OF In

Finds Governor Dewey Small

Finds Governor Dewey Small
To the Editor of The Star:
In regard to your editorial entitled Dewey
Speaks for the Record" do not believe that
the majority of citizens will agree that Mr..
Dewey's statement on universal military train
ing was either fortnight" or based on a con-
cept OF our role in maintaining the peace that
is supported by the march of events" 1t was,
as are most of Mr.. Dewey's statements cold,
calculated, political statement given purely for
personal advantage and given only after the
Gallup Poll had reported that the vast majority
of Americas citizens were in support OF uni
versal military training.
Mr. Dewey has demonstrated that he is lack
ing in moral courage as is evidenced by his
backhand slap at Senator Vandenberg in his
support of the bipartisan foreign policy. Al
though Mr.. Dewey talked about bipartisan
foreign policy in 1914, he has not demonstrated
in any way that he would back up his words
with deeds Since Senator Vandenberg realized
the futililty of isolation, he has and will con-
tinue to put forth all his efforts toward the
maintenance of world peace.
The Republican Party has men of both moral
and physical courage-Harold Stassen, Senator
Taft, General Macarthur. Senator Vandenberg
and General Eisenhower Mr.. Dewey Is small
in stature-any way you look at him.

Deep-Seu Sound Waves
To Spot Pacific Wrecks
4 Listening Stations to Pick Up Noise
From Bomb Dropped by Grew
By Thomas r. Henry

BY Thomas r. Henry
Sound, moving in waves through abysmal
waters at speeds of a mile a second, can be
heard at least 1000 miles away
From present theoretical considerations It
seems likely that this great range can be
doubled in the near future.
This remarkable phenomenon Of sound waves
moving for vast distances in the ocean depth
zone between 1000 and 5000 feet now is being
utilized by the Navy with network of four
listening stations around the Pacific by means
OF which 1t will be possible to locate ship or
plane wreck after the crew has dropped q
sound producing bomb. within maximum ra-
dius of two miles anywhere in that vast ex-
panse of ocean.
First Station in Operation.
The first of these stations already is in op-
Grafton at Monterey. Calf Three others are
planned-at Point Arena, north of San Fran
cisco, and at two shore points in Hawaii. Tests
just completed show that bomb exploded in
the water off Hawaii can be heard easily at
Monterey.
The phenomenon Is the more remarkable
since similar bomb exploded in the top 900
feet OF the sea can be heard with the aid of
hearing devices a maximum of about 100 miles.
The 2,000-6,000 foot level all over the oceans
acts like a natural speaking tube. This ex-
traordinary property was discovered during the
war by Prof. Maurice Ewing of Columbia Uni
versity as byproduct of wartime submarine
detection studies which he was conducting for
the Bureau of Ships.
The speed of mile a second is relatively
slow-only about three times that Of sound
through air. variation of thousandth part
OF this is detachable. Hence the different
arrival times of the same sound at the four
network listening posts will make possible
very accurate calculation OF the sounds
source.
Bomb Heard 3,100 Miles.
Early tests showed that bomb exploded in
the speaking tube zone of the Atlantic off
Dakar, Africa, could be heard with consider
able intensity at the Bahamas, 3,l00 miles
away. 1t might have been heard almost 1000
miles away if the tests had been conducted
little differently and with improved appara-
tus, the Navy experimenters believed at the
time.
DR. Ewings discovery undoubtedly has placed
in the hands of oceanographers a powerful
new tool for locations of under water noun
tains and general sea bottom contours, but the
immediate practical application is q life
saving device. During the war it often was
necessary to search thousands of square miles
OF ocean to find the drifting crew of wrecked
plane. The Bureau of Ordnance now is
designing a flve-pound bomb as standard
equipment on planes, life RATS and life boats
1t will have variable depth setting to allow
for variations in the depth of the ocean sound
channel in different 1atitudes.
The transmitted sound is heard over
receiving station loudspeaker as rising kettle
drum crescendo which cuts off sharply
Arrival tinfe can be determined with an
accuracy Of a tenth OF second

Good Influences and Bad

To the Editor of The Star:
Every public spirited citizen will be behind
The Star in its campaign to promote enact
ment of adequate legislation dealing with sex
offenders 1t is doubtful that any appreciable
Improvement of existing statutes could have
been expected for many years If The Star had
not initiated its drive for safer Washington
The most immediate need, Of course, is q
stronger and more effectual antiperversion law.
But there is need also for closely co-ordinated
effort on broad front to combat the conta-
gion of sex perversion. Several readers of The
Star already have offered constructive sugges-
tions in this connection. certain degree OF
censorship of the theaters especially of bur-
lesque shows, has been suggested The bar or
saloon caters to a vice that is slowly developed
in some men, an uncomfortable craving for
alcohol. The wrong kind of stage and screen
shows are another factor. Risque magazines
and books also contribute to sex onenses and
increase the number of psychopaths.
But let us consider what we might give to
the potential sex pervert as well as what may
be taken from him. The best protection against
sex perverson is wholesome moral and phys
ica1 environment such as may be found in
good boys camp under the leadership of Cod
fearing men who know boys. The money spent
