For Orderly Worry

Here Is something else for the world to
worry about. According to DR.. Hans
Ahlmann, a distinguished Swedish geo.
physicist, the Arctic climate is getting
warmer, and glaciers are melting at an
accelerated pace. AS a result, he says,
ocean waters are rising rapidly enough to
warrant the immediate creation of an
international agency to study the phe-
nomenon and try to figure out what
should be done about it.
In DR.. Ahlmann's judgment, the matter
is most urgent" After personal research
over period of twenty years, he has found
that Arctic air temperature has increased
10 degrees Fahrenheit since 1900. He goes
on to warn that eff the Antarctic ice
regions and the major Greenland ice cap
should be reduced at the same rate as the
present melting, oceanic surfaces would
rise to catastrophe proportions" This
means, to put it bluntly, that people
living in lowlands along the shores would
be inundated"
If things are really as serious as Dr.
Ahlmann says, we could do with the kind
OF agency he advocates, even though it
might not be able to hold down the oceans
After all, if there is reason to worry about
the situation, let US worry about it in all
orderly and informed way An interna-
tional body dealing exclusively with the
subject could keep us straight. The prob
lem may well be as important as the
numerous other problems now being
handled by special groups within the
United Nations. Another commissioning
be called perhaps the Commission on the
Control of the Earth's Rising Waters

Wolves Blamed for Distress

To the EDITOR Of The Star:
Perhaps some foreign country will take
American families with children ton lend
leasel until things are normal in America
again.
Daily, one hears of families crowded in
few rooms with no yards for children to play
in-busy streets answering that purpose, with
some trips to park occasionally. These aren't
the children of parents raised under sum con-
ditions. Whole segments of our population are
living under conditions once familiar only to
slum areas. The situation is one to fill think
ing Americans with horror.
Young parents can't rent decent quarters to
house American children. The landlords aren't
entirely to blame, because high labor costs
prohibit extensive repairs. Young parents can't
buy homes because Of high prices and large

Dirty Work in HUNGRY

Out of welter of fact and rumor coming
from Budapest, one thing seems reasonably
clear: The native Communist minority,
pationai authorities, is staging what
amounts to a coup d'etat. Thereby they
are ousting the legal government, duly
elected by majority of the voters, and
are preparing to replace it by Soviet
supported Red dictatorship resting on ter
rorism and naked force.
This violent climax had long been fore
cast by the course of events, not only in
Hungary but in the other countries of
Central Europe under Russian control The
pattern of usurpation has already been
established in Albania, Bulgaria Poland,
Romania and Yugoslavia, where Com
munist regimes have been set up by
mixture of force, intimidation, fraud and
phony elections" The main reason why
the pattern has not yet been applied in
Hungary has been the results of an honest
election there in November, 1945 That
was the first election held in Russian
occupied countries after their liberation
from the Axis in the previous spring
Probably Moscow counted on favorable
verdict from an electorate duly purged of
Axis supporters. At any rate much to
MoscoWs surprise and discontinue, the
anti-Communist Small Landholders' Party
won sweeping victory, polling 81 per cent
OF the total vote and electing a clear
majority in the new National Assembly.
The Communists trailed badly and were
seen to be small minority.
However, the Communists and their
Russian hackers at once proceeded to undo
and eventually to nullify the popular will.
To begin with, although the Small Land
holders Party could legally have installed
their own cabinet, they were "persuaded'
to form coalition government wherein
Communists were given important posts.
From those footholds, the Communists
proceeded with their familiar tactics of
boring from Within" likewise acquiring
control of the Social Democratic Party,
which became Communist stooge. Then
came the discovery" of a Fascist" plot
to restore the old Horthy regime, coupled
with charges that number of prominent
members of the Small Landholders were
involved. Some of these were arrested by
the Russian authorities in disregard of
their parliamentary immunity. When
Washington protested sharply, the Russian
commander gave the tart reply that this
was uncalled-for interference in Hungary's
internal affairs. OF course, our protest was
fully justified under the Moscow and Pots
dam agreements, but Moscow rode rough
shod over its own commitments and obli
cations.
so the miserable business has gone on
during recent months, with fresh ''purges"
OF the Small Landholders, who are tried
by peoples court" packed with Com
munists and sentenced to death or other
severe penalties. The climax has now come
with an accusation against Premier Macy,
who is opportunely out of the country,
and fresh wave of arrests among his
supporters. The last act in the tragedy
has obviously begun.

Walter Winchell Under Fire

TO the Editor OF The Star:
On Sunday night May Is, was listening to
Walter Winchells broadcast. Whether it was
the atmospheric conditions, or because he was
not feeling so good, don't know but he seemed
to be very excited and irritable thought he
would "bust" tube. Il mean in the radio)
He was full OF scoops and quotes as usual,
but the thing that burnt him up was hot
flash from Lady Astor, the American-born
woman who is the wife of Lord Astor
She recently had arrived on visit to her
native land and some one had asked her,
among other things, what she thought about
conditions in Palestine. She is reported to
have said, There was no military rule there.
1t was gangster rule"
Walter was back in flash with fash"
In no time at all he had the British and
Americans fighting at Bunker Hill again. He
accused the British of being after the gold
in Fort Knox. What revotin' Development"
as Reilly would say.
Why Mr. Winchell became so petulant at
Lacy Astor's fortnight answer, do not know.
1Or do I?) Mr.. Winchell sometimes is far
frcm the truth, when giving out information
in which the British are involved, or any one
else for that matter Some time ago, during
the war, when the Allies were having tough
going on tine India-Burma China front, he said
in one Of his broadcasts that the war in
Burma was a dismal failure. The Allied
supreme command in Southeast Asia expected
to direct amphibious operations against the
Japs in Burma and Malaga, but all the
necessary landing craft were withdrawn to
Europe for operations there. Instead, the Army
had to surmount a mountain barrier 5000
feet high, advance 200 miles over the worst
country in the world, under terrible climatic
conditions, continuing the campaign through
the monsoon season. They killed 1880 Japs
inGicting upon them the heaviest defeat they
ever had received on land.
Ninety-six per cent of Army supplies were
delivered by all, 10000 tons being dropped
during March, 1945.
The loyal troops under the Allied command
were able to conquer Japs jungle, climate
disease prejudice and ineficiency
Yet Mr. Winchell said the war in Burma
was a dismal failure. Ye gods For COOL
calm and collected commentator, I think he
is a dismal success. TOM TOONE.
