Russia And The UN

This controversy between Rr-sia and the
United States in the United Nations General
Assembly has given rise to much specula-
ton, first, whether Russia will withdraw
from membership, and secondly, whether
the United Nations could survive if Russia
did step out. For the most part observers
believe that, while the situation is acute
there is no definite sign as yet OF Russia's
intention to withdraw.
The reasons for this view are numerous.
Among them, perhaps the chief among them,
is that the United Nations affords Russia
a sounding board that could not be dupli-
Gated Another is that if Russia left the UN
she would lose all chance of employing OBJ
structionist tactics, which have worked to
her advantage so often. Then, too Russlas S
withdrawal would cement the relations OF
the rest of the world against the Soviet
Union and her satellites.
Furthermore, United Nations survival
would be proof positive that the Soviet Union

shed in H. R. Trevol-Roper's book, "The
Last Days of Hitler"
Mr.. Trevor-Roper is a British intelligence
officer, detailed to study the final collapse
of the Hitler regime. He observes that the
quality of medical practice in Germany de-
Perforated enormously under the naZl dlcta-
torship. Charlatans, quacks and lncompe-
tents were given positions OF trust anu

lists of the type which once made German
medicine famous throughout the world, were
relegated to obscurity.
perhaps things were worse in Germany,
but we are informed in the public press
that the practice of medicine has also SUNK
to low levels in socialized England. This IS
one inevitable development when the poll

s,1nnes power over science. The road to ao-
vancement then lies through political favor,
not through work. achievnent and ability.
Research, through which medical science
makes its greatest advances, cannot progress
under government domination or bureau
cratic favoritism.
This is what makes the Wagner-M Murray

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. A
sort of Chinese puzzle now con-
fronts the administration leader
ship. Somehow, the puzzle must
be solved within the next two
months. But no one in Washing
ton has yet managed to fit all
the mutually contr adictory
pieces of the puzzle together.
Here are the pieces of the puz-
zle:
l. AS Secretary of State
George c. Marshall has said,
Europe must have some sort of
emergency aid - which means
dollars - before the end of this
year. The reports from Italy
which have been appearing in
this space demonstrate clearly
why this is so. To quote from
one of these reports, unless the
dollars are forthcoming in time,
we will be faced with some
thing like the collapse of the
whole complex structure which
we call Western civilization"
2 But where are the dollars
to come from? Aside from Con-
gress, there are three visible
sources. One is the International
Bank. But the officers of the
bank have repeatedly insisted
that the bank was not establish.

Truman Must Decide

Home from his historic trip to Brazil,
President Truman faces decisions as mo-
mentous as any ever to confront United
States Chief Executive. How he makes them
will affect the course of world events no
less than his own political future.
The two principal problems he must solve
are domestic prices and foreign exports. one
reporter declares: '"The assertion Of positive
leadership with positive program, even II
it is turned down by Congress, would, it IS
believed (n Washlngton) 60 far toward
switching the spotlight from rowing repub-
lican aspirants for the presidency and up
ping MIR. Truman's stock with the American
public"
Aside from political considerations the
reporter is correct in saying that positive
leadership and a positive program are es-
sential factors in this nations policy. With
price levels steadily rising, despite recent
declines in grains Mr.. Truman will be ex-
pected to draft program that will get do
nestle markets on a non-inflation basis.
And with the need for food abroad increas-
Ing, 1t WOulQ seem tNaL SOIllelA1llS Iloo1 Nc
done about exports before Congress in It's
next regular session acts, if it does, to i'm
plement the Marshall plan.
To do anything, the President will have to
reconcile the opposing views of the State
Department and the Agriculture Depart
ment. Secretary of State Marshall has en-
phasized the need for immediate relief to
avert the threat of "intolerable hunger and
cold" abroad. On the other hand Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson has advocated
reduction in exports as step toward forcing
prices down at home.
Mr.. Truman must decide which course
to follow. If he should agree to reductions
in exports to foreign lands there might fol-
low some slump in the domestic price scale.
IF he should decide to maintain an export
program on large scale it might create
an improved food situation abroad and prob
ably would drive prices at home higher than
ever.
What the President faces is the discovery
of q way to relieve suffering abroad and
at the same time push domestic food levels
downward.

IF overwhelming evidence tl:at

will rot constitute an "cperatlor

which was certainly too optilnis-
tic, called for a report from the
Paris committee OF sixteen ma
tions by Sept. ]. This Was to
b. followed on Scot. Is Dv the
reports of the three american
committees - on the Ameri.
car ability to help.
G'his timetable is uow.,
of course, out the window. Ac-
cording to those who have seen
the Paris committee at WORK,
the delegates Of the sixteen ma
tons there have been haunted
by the ghost Of Soviet Foreign
Minister Molotnv The rlere fact
that Molotov has at last been
aoscnt has led to kind of indian
summer of traditional diplomacy
few Of the delegates have been
so impolite as to look at the fig
ures of the other delegates with
an unpleasantly fishy eye. This
hands off tendency has been
further reinforced by Molotov S
warnings about national sover-
eighty. Thus from the rec!aning
the emphasis has been all on
getting dollars, and very little
on mutual self help and Euro
pean cooperation.
In response to the outspoizen
" arnings of Under Secretary of
State Will Clayton, the Paris
committee has now at last come
up with a reasonably satisfac-
tory preliminary report. But it
is preliminary at best, and it is
now very probable that the lead
ing experts of the Paris com
'nlttee will be invited to fly to
Washlngton,s so that something
reasonably acceptable can be
threshed out here. But all this

considered an optimistic guess
that the Hartman and other
American committees will have
reports ready before the first
week in November, a full month
and a half behind schedule.

the Export-Import Bank. But i,
is certain that William McChes-
ney Martin, now in London, and
the other officers of the bank
will resist to the last breath a:,y'
move to use the banks reserve
of dollars to pre- vide stopgap aid.
Finally, there is the remnane OF
the British loan. AS previously
reported here, serious consider
alton is being givea to using the
$4OC, 100000 rem ainder OF the
loan for aid for Italy
and France. Yet the final deci-
sion will rest with the British.
And it will certainly be surpris-
ing if the British. themselves
gasping for lack of dol
lars, agree to any such arrange
nlent.
Thus the only sensible course
for the American policy makers,
while searching for some substi-
tute expedient, is to rely on Con-
gress for the dollars which 1nust
be forthcoming before the Win
ter sets in.

all reports of the most expert

ton that the 1882 consolidation

with NYC and Pennsylvania sys-
tens.
Young now contends that c
o and NYC are supplementary
roads. C & o is primarily a
coal road, originating much ton
mage that can feed into NYC
territory. Furthermore, he says
that the merged C & O-NYC
would be approximately equal in
trackage, tonnage and employees
with the Pennsylvania-W Wabash :
N & w system.
Young now has no plan to sub
NIT to the ICC on merger of
the two roads. If he is authoriz-
ed to sit as director of NYC,
however. he may be counted on
to move in and try to take over
control of the big road.
Thus far, the only open rail
road opposition to Young's mer-
ger plan has come from the Vir-
ginian. This is principally coal
road feeding into Norfolk. Va.

Reshuffling The Lines
BY PETER EDISON

WASHINGTON, - Application
of Chesapeake g. Ohio Railways S
cocky Chairman Robert R.
Young and it's President Robert
J. Bowman to sit on the New
York Central's board of dlrec-
tors may be merely the opening
round of a long fight to deter
mine who will control U. S. rail
road policy and what that policy
is going to be. Involved also is
the future of a long range Inter
state Commerce Commission
plan to merge eastern railroads
into four major systems built
around Baltimore and Ohio, New
York Central, Pennsylvania and
the Chesapeake and Ohio-Nickel
Plate.
In the Transportation Act of
1920, this consolidation of U. S.
railroads into a limited number
of competing systems was de-
clared national policy. In 1882
ICC came up with it's big plan.
In the depression years, how
ever, the railroads were all so
broke they couldn't even buy
each other. So in the revised
Transportation Act of 1910 the
idea of a government merger
plan was eliminated and it was
left to the railroads to do their
own merging.
A few switches have been
thrown to connect some of the
weaker roads with the main
lines, as the ICC had originally
planned. Pennsylvania now con-
trolls Norfolk & Western and Wa
bash. c & o merged Pere Mar
quette. B & o took over cou-
pie. But by and large, consolida-
ton was sidetracked during the
war.
It was revived earlier this
year by c & o buying 400, 900
shares of New York Central for
$7.5 million. This represents a
six per cent interest in NYC,
and is the largest single holding.
This big c & o holding en-
titled this road to a couple of
seats on the NYC board of d.
rectors. Young and Bowman
were invited in.
But the ICC has a policy that
it will permit railroads to have
interlocking, directors only if it
can be shown that the roads in
volved should eventually be part
OF the same system.
Therefore, if Young and Bow
man are permitted to become
NYC directors, it will mean that
the ICC is approving eventual
merger of c g. o and NYC.
That would mean abandonment

New Traffic Hazard

Mr.. Norman r. Rings communication
published on the editorial page of the Sun
day Star-News complaining of the indiffer-
ence to traffic rules among the city's in
creasing horde of scooter riders is timely.
There is no need for anyone to observe
their practices from Mr.. Rings vantage place
at Second and Chestnut streets to realize
that they constitute definite hazard of
accident, for themselves motorists and pc
destrains. Like the pesilence spread by the
Wandering Jew, they are everywhere, not
only during the day but also far into the
night-au too often with two aboard in high
pitched conversation, or just yelling.
AS MIR. Ring points out, the scooter was
designed to provide cheap means of trans
portation. Now it has become a serious traf-
fic menace. Surely the police can find some
means to abate the nuisance and the danger
they create.
And while the police are doing this they
are to be encouraged to bear down on young
cyclists who ride on sidewalks at night with
out headlights. The law forbidding this prac-
tice is more notable for violation than OBJ.
Servance.
The Star has heard many complaints from
elderly persons, who say they are literally
afraid to use the sidewalks after dark, lest
they be run down by some youngster on
bicycle. If the pedestrian has faulty hearing,
this is only too liable to happen, for bicycles
make little noise.
1nasmuch as bicycles are legally defined
as vehicles, they have no more right on any
sidewalk than has an automobile.
Parents could help to stop their use on
pedestrainways, but the police could do
more.
