Hooyer's Report on Austrio

n 4o4 O11lS4lU al 1kCl &uo 1CpolU OIl
Germany. former President Herbert
Hoover has issued a similar docu-
ment on Austria. This second in
stallment of the survey made on
Central Europe's relief needs as spe-
cial investigator for President Tru-
man reveals the same overall grasp
coupled with factual exactitude and
incisive economy of statement to be
looked for from one with such wide
and long experience in this field.
Mr.. Hoover begins by setting Aus
tria's present relief needs against a
background which explains the eco
nomic handicaps against which
Austria has been struggling ever
since the Versailles settlement after
World War I. which reduced her
from an empire to small state
of between six and seven million
population, overweighted by the
large city of Vienna with its 1,50o, 900
people" This accounts for its grad
ual slide into bankruptcy in 1891.
soon followed by annexation to Nazi
Germany which Systematically
stripped the country of its resources
and involved Austria in a disastrous
war from which it emerged badly
damaged and under a four-power
military occupation that split the
little land into four zones between
which there was faulty economic
cooperation.
All this accentuates Austria's eco
nomic problems. Not self feeding
even normally, the country now
suffers a food deficit intensified by a
dearth of raw materials which pre-
vents the revival of manufactured
exports to pay for vital imported
necessities. To be sure, the
Butritional crisis in Austria is
not quite as bad as in Ger
many, but relief from outside
will be needed in considerable vol
ume, at least until the summer of
1948. Furthermore, Mr.. Hoover en-
phasiZes that this is minimum
program, which must be accom-
panied by certain collateral meas
ures if Austrian economy is to re-
cover enough to be measurably
stable and self-sustaining. Among
these are prompt economic cooper
alton between the four occupation
zones, the abandonment of Russian
policies which deplete their sphere,
and the furnishing of raw materials
to permit economic rehabilitation.
Even these should be regarded as
preliminaries to constructive
treaty settlement that will re-estab-
lish Austria as the "free and inde-
pendent" sovereign state promised
by the joint Allied declaration at
Moscow in November, 1943.
Given the full enactment of this
program, Mr. Hoover estimates that
Austria might begin to pay her own
way, at least in part. by the end of
1e4S, land to become self-supporting
in two or three years thereafter"
Failing that. he warns that Austria
"is likely again to be the poorhouse
OF Europe for years to come and her
people constantly be dependent for
life upon foreign aid"

Beautiful Weepers

The beautiful iDeepers:
The btrc1les and ,DilloaDs

And at Uery long last

Islands will, no doubt, be used to bar
gain for quid pro quo. but it was
actually recognition Of reality. The
Soviets neither count on sharing the
power they have, nor successfully claim
ing power they have not. Nothing and
no one can prevent the United States
from ruling those islands.
If Britain withdraws from India, the
lifeline" through the Middle East loses
significance. British withdrawal from
these areas means concentration on Eu-
rope and Africa. History is paved with
the bones of those who have said the
British empire was finished.
Britain is in Europe to stay, unless
Europe can be revived as a single con-
federation within its own historical and
cultural frontiers, independent Of power
politics of the U. s. s. r., OF Britain
and the United States. IT would be
neutralized, instead, between them and
guaranteed by both as region, within
the U. N.
But Europe today Is divided into
spheres Of influence, and the evidence
seems to be that q triple entente is
forming along those lines. II Is i'm
possible to believe such situation can
be stable. At most It promises An armed

Why Not Change the Rule?

The Standing Committee of Cor
respondents, which applies the rules
of Congress governing the admission
of reporters to the House and Senate
press galleries, has been made the
target of criticism for refusing to
stretch the rule" to permit the
admission to the galleries of a
Negro correspondent, Louis r.
Lautier.
The tenor of this criticism. but
tressed by a specific accusation from
Mr.. Lautier, is that he was barred,
not because he is ineligible under a
fair Interpretation of the rules, but
because he is a Negro. Whatever
the merits or otherwise of this con-
tention-and the question is one
which cannot be answered without
knowing what was in the minds of
the members Of the committee
the fact remains that a strict appli-
cation of the pertinent rule would
seem to justify the committees
decision.
MIR. Lautier is correspondent for
both the Atlanta Daily World, one
OF three daily Negro papers in the
country, and the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association, which serv-
ices weekly papers. The applicable
section of the rule governing ad-
mission to the galleries is that the
eligible list shall be composed "only
of persons whose chief attention is
given to telegraphic correspondence
for daily newspapers or newspaper
associations requiring telegraphic
service" A majority of the COM
mittee found, and, the facts would
seem to support them. that, strictly
speaking, Mr.. Lautier did not meet
these requirements.
Having reached that conclusion,
however, the committee was not re-
stricted to a choice between reject
ing Mr.. Lautier's application or
stretching" the rule in his behalf.
Problems of this sort are not
solved to any ones satisfaction by
stretching rules. And the problem
is a real one. for there are COM
pelling reasons why the Negro press,
no less than the white press, should
have adequate access to the sources
OF news in this country. Conse-
quently, The Star believes that the
standing committee, instead of
having been content merely to veto
the application, should have granted
Mr.. Lautier a temporary card of
admission. and then should have
taken the initiative in asking Con-
gress to revise the rules so that Mr..
Lautier and others situated like him
can be admitted to the galleries as
a clear matter Of right and not
under the shadow of what would
appear to be sort of special dispen-
sation. 1t is not yet too late to do
this, and it is to be hoped that the
committee members will be per-
suaded that this is the wise course
and the fair one.

Housing Shortage

To the Editor Of The star:
That there is housing shortage no
one of any intelligence denies! What is
the reason?
Ones answer depends on who he is.
I say that the incentive to produce
houses for rent has been taken away.
Since 1888 this country has been drift
ing away from personal independence
and responsibility and private initiative.

SAN FRANCISCO, W.g - ANY
time an ariplane crashes or is
reported overdue on a flight in
the United States, small, pick
ed team of combat veterans of
the Air Corps is ready to 90 to
the rescue.
These flying firemen" are
members of the u S. Air Forces
Air Rescue Unit, stationed at
strategic bases throughout the
nation. Their primary mission is
to fly to the rescue in any aerial
emergency. They 60 even if
"zero-zero" flying conditions pre-
vail and the search leads to
the dangerous mountain peaks of
the Rockies or over storm
buffeted ocean waters.
Air Rescue boasts the finest
equipment available for its diff
flcult duty. Each unit has bokh
air and ground equipment, es-
pecially designed for the particu-
lar type of terrain in which the
search centers.
Headquarters of Squadron B
OF AIRS, based at Hamilton
Field, CAL, is typical. Its pri-
mary equipment consists of a
BIZ Flying Fortress and a B
70 Superfort for long-range re-
connaissance; C-82 and C-47 car
go aircraft to carry medical
supplies, search equipment and
an air-borne radio jeep; an LIS
single-engine "putt-putt'' plane,
used to- comb mountain draws
and canyons and for liaison
between base and advance units
OF the search party; an SA-10
Catalina flying boat, affectiona-
tely called ''The Dock" by pilots,
suitable for landings on water
or ground, and an Rs helicop.
ter, whose ability to hover mo-
tlonless allows search pilots to
pln-point wreckage.

Flying Firemen' Tackle
AnyDisaster Emergency

No matter whether a civilian
or military plane is reported
lost or crashed, AIRS goes to the
rescue.
Recently, when Gov. Earl Smell
of Oregon and three other men
crashed in a desolate mountain
area in southeast Oregon, AIRS
flew its search missions despite
weather so bad no other planes
would take to the air.
Secret of the success Of AIRS in
finding lost aircraft in recent
years is a complex radio iaison
maintained between search
planes in the air, the radio jeep
which gets as close as possible,
ground search parties and the
units home base.
The radio jeep is the control
point, its radio receiver beamed
in on all of the planes in the
air as well as being able to
transmit instructions to ground
men equipped with portable
"walkie-talkie" radio sets and
talk direct to it's home base.
Usually, a scanner in one of the
planes first spots the wreck and
notifies the radio jeep. The jeep
relays to ground men instruc-
tions on how to find the plane.
If there were survivors, AIRS
always. has a ''paradoctor" and
an enlisted medical orderly who
can be flown to the wreck scene
and dropped by chute. Medical
supplies, guns and ammunition,
life RATS, flares, emergency
food rations, warm clothing and
other necessities also are drop
ped by parachute.
If no one survived the wreck,
it usually is up to Air Rescue
to remove the bodies and fly
them back to base.
ARS' duties are not always so
grim. Recently, 1st 1t, John
