Arlington Board Acts
To Form Committee
On Food Economy

The Arlington County Board yes
terday issued proclamation sup
porting the program of President
Truman's Citizens Food Committee
and took preliminary steps to assure
formation of county food commit
tee.
The board requested representa-
tives of churches, Red Cross, schools,
women's groups, labor, business,
civic, fraternal and veterans Or
ganizations to get in touch with
County Manager A. T. Lundberg re-
garding service on the committee
The board also accepted an offer OF
the League of Women Voters, made
by delegation headed by Mrs. Carl
Marcy, president, to aid in contact
ing county organizations.
Bus Line Hearings Asked.
The board directed the Public
Utilities Commission to file petitions
with the State Corporation Com
mission and the Interstate Com
merce Commission asking for full
and detailed" hearings on the
service rendered by the Washing
ton, Virginia & Maryland Coach Co.
Action was taken following re-
port by Lester r. Cenley, chairman
of the PUC's Transportation Com
mittee. Mr.. Conley told the board
an ICC order granting a fare in
crease on the w. V. & NJ, also
known as the Arnold lines, stated q
finding of inadequate service but
pointed out that the company could
not be expected to give more service
without additional revenue.
The fare increase, which was
effective Tuesday, was granted by
the ICC, Mr.. Conley said, on the
condition that the busline provide
adequate service on all routes
within a reasonable" time. The
order stated that steps would be
taken to protect the public if the
adequate service were not furnished.
Many Complaints Received.
Although the busline has about
80 new buses and has been granted
the increase, the service is worse
than it was last June when the
ICC hearings were held, Mr. Conley
declared He said the PUG has re-
ceived numerous petitions and let
ters signed by 334 citizens and
hundreds of telephone calls" regard
ing the poor service since the
Arnold Lines changed its sched-
ules on october l.
Mr.. Conley said the public should
not nave to wait until a reason
able" time has elapsed because con-
ditions under which the service now
is rendered are different from those
on which the ICC based its finding.
The board also directed the
utilities commission to have repre-
sentatives at hearing November
5 before the State Corporation Com
in Richmond on a request of
the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. for rate increases.

Army, and a chap who has had ex-
perience wearing a raincoat joins
with distinct advantageJ
I reached the camp barber shop
with hair that had carefully pre-
served during my many years on
this earth. There wasn't a great
deal of it, but I was proud of each
individual shoot, and oh! the days
I had spent cultivating it.
I sat down in the chair-a chair
in charge Of which was the same
man who caused me to throw three
fits only few days ago. I was new
to the Army, so I advised the bar
ber what kind of a trim to give me.

and proceeded to drive a tractor,
manned by two men and three boys,

minutes later I wasn't interested in
saving my hair-it was my head
that was worried about. I reached
in my pocket and pulled out an
American flag and wrapped it about
me. I was determined to save my
self at any cost. The barber didn t

ment, such unbounded confidence
in the future is regarded with COO
contempt and little credulity.
The idea seems to have taken
hold in some quarters in Washing
ton that the task of avoiding an
other holocaust is simply question
of waiting out the dire expectations
which Moscow holds for the future
of the United States. 1t is contended
that if this country can Stave of
a major depression for Is years,
if it can give the world an example
Of stability, time and the rise to
power of new leaders within the
Soviet Union will modify Russian
policy, bringing it more into the
sphere of cooperation than is now
the case.
Opposing Philosophy.
Opposed to this philosophy of
waiting out the Russians is the
view that time works in favor of
Russian rehabilitation for warlike
purposes and that a showdown pre-
cipitated with Russia in the next
five years would give this country
greater advantage-at least in the
opening phases-than one in Is
years.
Both views have their drawbacks
and if the first would be a grave
miscalculation if Russian modera-
ton fails to materialize, the other
might needlessly plunge this country
into another conflict from which
civilization might never really re-
cover. Few, except the more fool
hardy warmongers, would want to
be guilty of actually advocating
war with Russia.
A diplomatic war is already In
progress over a great part of the
earth's surface. 1t is a war between
two PHILOSOPHERS, two ways of life,
to decide whether the nations of
the world are to be organized in a
system of free enterprise and free
development for the mutual good
and well-being of all, or whether
they are to be regimented in COL
lectivity which, in its way, claims
to aim toward maximum human
welfare, but which requires the sub
ordination of the nations and the
individuals which comprise the ma

The proprietor-a fellow who is
as bald as Winesap apple, but who
talks SO convincingly that he sells
"hair restorer" at one buck crack
asked me what was the matter
with me, and he was just getting
ready to call the police when
managed to explain.
"That fellow behind the third
chair" I stammered. "I've seen him
somewhere. His scissors are famil-
lar. Get me out Of here!"
1t Was the Same Man.
They whacked me across the face
with a powder brush q couple of
times, and I Strengthened up sufn-
GENTLY to tell them the cause Of my
alarm.
Standing back of the third chair,
wearing white coat and an air of
class, was the same man who gave
me my first GI haircut. That was at
Camp Wheeler, just outside of Ma
con, Ga. I understand that it has
since been turned into a leper colony,
which is an honor it doesn't deserve.
I'll never forget that day when
the Army, in the person of a SER
geant with two marble eyes and
heart to match, told us to put on
raincoats {nothing else), and
marched us to the barber shop. For

will some day enjoy that treat, let

cine" and it is supposed to bring
one of two results, either the return
of the property, or the early demise
of the person to whom the dedica-
ton has been made.
This is an old custom of the
Alaska Indians, probably even older
than the American custom of posses
sing ones self of Indian property
when he sees anything that he
wants. The idea of erecting a totem
pole to Mr. Anderson is due to the
fact that the Agriculture Depart
ment, through the Forest Service,
is trying to grab some timber lands
belonging to the Indians. 1t has
caused to be introduced in the
Senate an innocuous sounding reso-
luton, 81. 118, which has already
passed the House as the result of
a trick that reflects no credit upon
its perpetrator, Representative Hope.
The intention of the resolution is
to permit the Forest Service to sell
timber from any land within the
exterior boundaries of the Tongass
National Forest" 1t happens that
ownership rights to great stretches
of this forest were confirmed in the
Indians by the Interior Department
in 1945 after long and exhaustive
hearings. Arrogantly, the Agri-
culture Department simply proposes
to overrule the finding of a de-
partfnent that had the authority to
make that finding. Instead of taking
whatever case that it may have to
court, Agriculture creates a cloud on
the Indians title by saying that one
exists and then asks the Congress,
in effect, to quit claim to the Forest
Service lands that have been certi-
fed to the Indians. Here is threat
to the right to possession of prop
erty that may well alarm every
American.
The real purpose of S. J. 118 does
not appear on its face. Senator
Hugh Butler of Nebraska, who
obligingly offered the resolution,
rushed it through committee and
had it put on the unanimous con-
sent calendar, hoping that no men,
ber of the Senate would under
stand the obscurely worded bill or
inquire into its purpose. The same
procedure was followed in the House
where the trick was successful. How
ever, a number of Senators have
been made aware of the real pur-
pose of this bill and, so far, when it
has been called on the calendar,
there has been at least one objection
which has been SUFFICIENT to stop
this unprincipled foray on the In
dians.
The reason that is given for this
proposed raid on privately owned
property is the urgent need for pulp
wood. While this need is recognized,
even by the Indians, it does not
justify the Forest Service in taking
what does not belong to it. If the
lumber belonged to an American
corporation and was desired to pro-
duce newsprint, an offer would be
made to purchase it. Tt happens
that the Indians are willing either
to make newsprint or to sell this
timber but S. j. 1lS does not provide

This Changing World
Bevin's Prediction of Peace Viewed
In Some Quarters Here With Contempt

sence, is the Communist world-state
These two ways Of life are mu-
tually incompatible, to the extent
that neither can permit the other
to obtain any substantial foothold
within the sphere it dominates
Whether they are so thoroughly in
compatible that they cannot exist
side by side is yet to be revealed
So far there has been little or nc
evidence that such peaceful co-ex-
istence is possible, and wherever
friction is lacking it is more the
result of an accommodation-albeit
temporary-between the opposing
PHILOSOPHERS than it is any real set
tlemept of fundamental issues.
Understanding of Aims.
To understand Communist aims
throughout the world it is neces-
sary to understand what they aspire
to ultimately. The primary goal il
the planned organization of the
world-political, economic and so.
cial-to eliminate what the Com.
munists consider to be unjustif1able
differences in standards of living be-
tween nations. This is aimed prin-
cipally at the United States, and it
has been Communist contention,
often reiterated, that the American
standard Of living must be brought
down in order to bring up the stand
ard of living of the rest of the
world
Communist coordination of the
world means not only the elimina-
ton of present social and economic
structures within the democratic ma
tions, but elimination Of the inter-
national social and economic Struc-
ture based on sovereign nations, and
their subordination to the Commu-
mist world-state, which the Commu-
nists nope they have started organ
izing among Russia's satellites.
The question faced by the Amer
ican people is the exact point at
which this nonshooting war may
degenerate into a shooting war. 1t
would appear that, communism be-
ing on the political offensive and in
ternational democracy on the de-
fensive, actual war is not likely to
occur unless (a) communism, halted
in its tracks politically, resorts to
arms as a means to break down its
barriers; or CO. communism be-
comes so strong and moves from
victory to victory SO steadily that
the democracies feel compelled to
take arms in defense of their way
of life.
In any event, with communism
aiming ultimately and inevitably at
harnesslng the United States in its
own service, the question resolves
itself into, first, the strength of
democratic resistance against COM
munism wherever it presumeS to
advance, meaning strict implemen-
tation of the Truman doctrine and
the Marshall plan; and, second, the
maintenance of democratic war po-
tentialities, which means not only
the preservation Of American armed
might, but the strengthening of the
war potential Of all those who can
and will stand with us to resist to-
talitarianism.
