America Cannot Aid Tyranny
(The Denver PoSt)

(The Denver Post)
 IN A REPORT published by Life magazine recently, William C. Bullitt foresees gloomy future for China, and for America unless the United States government goes immediately to the aid of Chiang Kai-Shek's gime.
 Bullitt, who was first American ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1883 and sent special mission to China in 1884, now believes the Soviet Union is fighting for control of China and if it succeeds all Asia will fall into Soviet hands Then, he added the power and resources of Asia will be mobilized against the United States. "The independence of the U S. will not live generation longer than the independence of China he predicted
 His plan for crcumventing these consequences is to go all out in helping Chang Ka-Shek-to the tune of threeyear plan costing 450 million dollars per year This would take care of the esentia tems and would provide for Chiang- ng-controled China.
 It would, that is, except for little hitch pointed out by Butt himself.
 But all this aid will be ineffective unless the Chinese revitaze their political ife arouse new spirit in the country and raise the morale of the army"
 America is supposed to help in this by offering sug gestions

That's That
 By BRUCE GUSTIN

When Lewis quit the C. I. O., which he organized, and took his miners into the A. F. of L. there was speculation that this move might enable him to realize an ambition he had cherished for years of winning the presidency of the A. F. of L. Any chance of that went glimmering when the A. F. of L. convention abolished the vice presidency he held, and he lost his temper and called A. F. of L. lead CTS intellectually fat and stately asses"
 A. F. of L. Secretary George Meany fastened a tag on Lewis that will gall him for a long time to come Lewis had declared he is not a Communist. Meany didn't dispute that. But he labeled him a "Comrade to Comrade" Remem- bering how Lewis used Commun- iStS to organize the C. I. O., Meany charged that while Lewis used his right hand to fight Communism with his left hand he made friends with Harry Bridges, Julius Emspack, Mike Quill, Lewis Mer- Till and all the other America haters who love Moscow"
 Strikes and strike threats in France certainly do not make it easy for the United States to help that country Americans generally sympathize with the French who are hungry and in distress. But re- covery of all European countries depends upon increased produc- ton. And it is difficult for Ameri- cans to enthuse over helping peo- pie who won't work and try to help themselves. Strike agitation by French Communists seems de- signed to discourage American aid for France.
 Can't the United States use any thing but wheat for feeding hun gry Europeans? Of course that is tEe cheapest food we could pro- vide. But when we lack the wheas and have surpluses of other foods, why shouldn't those surpluses be used? Potatoes have been bought up by the government, and de- stroyed, to keep prices up. Ameri- can farmers have had difficulty in marketing a lot of beans. A sur plus of canned vegetables from last years pack interfered with the marketing of the l947 crop.
 According to department of ag- riculture figures, this country had in storage on Oct. 1, g million pounds of frozen poultry, 2,800, ,00O cases of shell eggs, 9,400,000 cases of frozen and dried eggs. And we are having "poultryless Thurs days" to save wheat to send to Eu- rope. It doesn't make sense.

transferred to Brookland Methodist
Church, Washington, D. c., effect
i've Sunday, April IS.
The vacancy at st. Pau1's, caused
by Reverend Marsh's transfer, will
not be filled until the Methodist
Conference holds its annual meet
ing on May 20, but the District
Superintendent, Rev. w. F. Wright,
will be responsible for filling the
pulpit at the local church until new
pastor is named.
Reverend Marsh, who is the cur
rent president of the Hagerstown
Ministerial Association, came to St.
PauPs from Trinity Church, Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, in November 1941,
and before going to Martinsburg was
pastor of the Moorefield District of
the Baltimore Conference of the M.
E. Church, South.
During his ministry at st. Paul's,
Reverend Marsh has made truly
enviabIe record. He has received
325 new members into the church;
has directed the raising of over forty
thousand dollars for church i'm
provements, and has increased the
church's subscriptions to ''The
Christian Advocate" the official
magazine of the Methodist Church,
until today St. PauPs has the largest
number of subscriptions in the
Baltimore Conference.
Mrs. Marsh has also been a leader
in church work in the community.
The first president, after unification,
of the HagerstoWn District of the
Women's Society of Christian Serv-
ice, she served in that capacity for
four years. At present she is
vice-president of St. Paul's w. S. c..
S. and superintendent of the Inter
mediate Department of the Sunday
School.
The Reverend and Mrs. Marsh
will be sorely missed in Hagerstown,
where they have made host of
friends during their six-year stay
here and the members of Brookland
Church are to be congratulated on
securing Reverend Marsh as their
pastor.

WJEJ-FM Test
Programs On Air

WJEJ's new FIN station, which
will probably be in operation with
in the next two months, is now run
ming daily test programs from it's
transmitter, located at Quirak, above
Pen Mar. There is no set time for
the programs, some of which are run
in the afternoon and some at night.
Those who have FIN receivers can
tune the programs in at channel 239
(95.7 megacycles).
Grover c. Crilley, general mana
ger of WEI, states that the latest
FIN equipment is rapidly being in
stalled and that nothing is being left
undone to get the station in readi-
ness for regularly scheduled pro-
grams for FIN listeners.

Around Town With
The Editor

With the passing of Irwin Hotf-
man, I lost a real friend. He was
one of the first business men / met
when came to Hagerstown and 1
will always cherish the memory of
his friendship and kindly advice.
=
When it was announced that a
bill would probably be introduced
in the State Legislature to repeal
the bills passed during the 1945 SEES
sion that extended the terms of
office of many of the department
heads under Governor O'Conor's adj
ministration, the announcement met
with almost unqualified approval,
since it was felt that Governor Lane
had the right to choose his own
officials. But here's what's actually
happened:
Instead of introducing bill to
terminate the terms of all the
O'Conor appointees, just one bill is
prepared bill aimed directly at
Lee. Elgin, Commissioner Of Motor
Vehicles.
The bill-one of the worst ex-
amples of political persecution 1
have ever heard of - proposes to
terminate Mr.. Elgin's term of office,
on April 80, and instructs the Gov
ernor to appoin new Commissioner
on May 1.
Even Elgin's worst enemies would
be forced to admit that he has made
one of the best commissioners in
the history of the Motor Vehicle
Department, and to deliberately
wreck a smooth functioning office of
the State, just to persecute one
man, is inexcusable.
I have discussed this matter with
many responsible people - both
Democrats and Republicans 49, and
everyone of them called the bill an
outrage.
The Administrative is deliberately
holding the bill back, until after the
tax question is settled, for fear of
antagonizing the members of the
State Legislature - tactics that are
an admission that the bill is a bad
one - but when it does get to the
floor, I hope that the Legislature
will have enough backbone to re-
fuse to be a party to this zone man"
bill and overwhelmingly defeat it.

Donated Grease Used
In Soap For Ouerseas

Soap worth $12,0 made entire
ly from donated grease, went
overseas from the Nappanee, In
diana plant recently. The grease
was given by individuals, church
es. restaurants. hotels. schools
and butchers in mary parts of the
country. Still available for those
wanting to save waste fats for re-
lief soap, r the five-gallon army
water cans. Many families or
churches have taken two or three.
The lack of soap in the war
wasted lands is n Of the great
est hardships. In most of these
countries soap has been strictly
rationed for years. Now with food
so short that whole populations
are living on starvation rations,
there is not an ounce of spare
fat to S in soap-making. AS a
result; clothing that has to be
worn almost constantly can never
be washed clean and therefore
wears out faster. Hands and faces
r rough and harsh from wash
ing in cold water without soap.
Vermin, filth and disease have
come to millions of decent fami-
lies.
Yet, from millions of American
homes, waste fats are discarded
without a thought. Don't be n Of
those who neglects the need of
neighbors overseas. Save waste
fats for soap for relief.
