barred to outsiders, are q legend.
In them things truly magical hap-
pened. During the Second World
War he lived to see the mass produc-
tion systems and methods, OF which
he was pioneer, become a major
factor in the defeat Of our enemies.
The final judgment OF the role he
played in the American scene may
not be feasible at present. He had
his fair share of critics, some OF
them uncharitably bitter. But If he
be appraised in terms of increased
national wealth, convenience in
travel, progress in the making and
distribution of useful articles of
commerce, rational philanthropy
and patriotism, he must be conceded
to have been one Of the giants of
his era OF history.

Henry Ford

Henry Ford was living proof of
the efficacy of Emerson's saying
about the building of better mouse
traps. His career, when summarized,
was a demonstration Of the ancient
law of supply and demand in its
best, most notably constructive form.
He was one Of the principal archi-
tects of the modern mechanical age,
and his enterprises enriched his
country and the world at large in
spiritual and cultural as we'll as in
material ways. The inexpensive
automobile gave plain people the
power to 60 places quickly, and the
effect of it's invention has been revo-
lutionary beyond the hopes of its
sponsor.
A dreamer in many respects, Mr..
Ford, even as boy, visioned i'm
provements of far-reaching signif1-
canoe. His capacity for imaginative
thinking undoubtedly led him astray
on occasion, but to it he owed the
ultimate dimensions of his empire.
Fortunately, a talent for tireless
labor matched the genius OF his
mind. Not until he was very old
was it possible for him to rest. Pro-
tected from public intrusion at
Dearborn during nearly half a
century, he spent his time and
energy In ceaseless pursuit of ideas.
Some OF his notions were quixotic.
The Peace Ship of 1915 was an exam
pie of his tendency to err roman
tically. His political views often
we're ruggedly individualistic. He
opposed collective bargaining after
it had become the standard practice
of the Nation. Federal interference
in industry irked him. He had made
himself d symbol Of private enter
prise and to him there was no other
answer.
Meanwhile, the growth of his
interests continued. BY 1880 Mr..
Ford was regarded as the richest
man In the world. His personal
tastes and habits remained simple
and unpretending. He was devoted
to 1.-The old days" and. assembled
Dearborn Village to prove it. Para
doxically, he favored the latest
Instruments, the most recently per
fected methods of production. His
laboratories and experimental shops,

Elections in japan

The outcome OF Japan'S local elec-
tions reflects decidedly conserva-
tive national temper. "Independ-
ents," Liberals" and Democrats s.
all moderate in politics-have won
overwhelmingly. Despite vigorous
campaigning, the Communist candi-
dates have been badly beaten, some
by margins as great as so to l.
Though faring better, Socialists have
managed to win only few minor
offices.
With national elections scheduled
to take place later in the month,
these local results seem to guarantee
that the conservative central gov
ernment OF Premier Yoshida, or one
much like 1t, will be supported by
wide margin. The elections just
held we're for village officials, mayors
and prefectural governors (similar
to our State governors). Most of
the victorious moderates had been
named to these offices on an in
terim basis by the Yoshida regime
with the approval of our occupation
authorities, and during the cam
paign they backed that regime.
Thus, in effect, the vote that has
now confirmed them in their posts
may be regarded as a kind of con-
firmation of the national admins
tration and General MacArthur's
policies as well. 4n
In any event, the smashing defeat
of the local Communist and Socialist
candidates strongly suggests that
the Japanese people have paid more
than passing attention to Premier
Yoshida's appeal for a complete
shattering of Japan's left-wing
parties. 1t seems much too early,
however, to attach great deal OF
significance to the returns. Accord
ing to reports from Tokyo, the
volume of the balloting was dis
appointingly light. Our occupation
authorities had urged the electorate
to turn out in large numbers to be-
gin the task of political reconstruc-
ton with the fullest participation
in the democratic voting process.
Nevertheless about third of those
eligible failed to exercise their fran
chise, and other evidences of in
difference have been reported. a..
This indifference-which may be.
attributable in part to the fact that
the country is under occupation and
that postwar issues have not yet
jelled-must modify whatever ella
ton the Japanese conservatives may
feel. The country's economic out
look is anything but bright. If the
situation should move toward col
lapse and develop an atmosphere OF
crisis and desperation, the mood of
the electorate would hardly be that
just expressed in the local elections.
Though beaten at the moment, the
left-wingers-particularly the Com
munists-can be counted upon to
make the most of the serious
troubles that are almost certainly
still in store for Japan.

The Political Mill

administration registered, in one way or
another, its opposition. Now, how is
that attitude going to make hit with
the American voters?
Furthermore, the President before very
long is going to be compelled to go on
record on some of these vital issues. The
Republican Congress is going to send him
tax reduction and labor bills. It he
vetoes them-ard there was an indica-
ton in the Jefferson Day address he
would veto proposed tax reduction at
this time, although he said nothing
whatever about labor legislation-it will
be in direct opposition to the expressed
wish of the voters In the 1916 election.
There has been much talk about I'M
proved relations since the elections. II
there has been an improvement 1t Is
largely due to the fact that the new
Congress was known to favor amend
ments to the labor laws. And now

graph strike and the coal mine work
stoppage.
The Truman Jefferson Day address,

funds were being raised for the Demo-
cratic National Committee, must be con-
sidered a political address. Noticeable
about 1t was the fact that the field OF
foreign policy was placed first. What
the President had to say about domestic
issues-tax reduction and reduction OF
Federal expenditures-was In the nature
OF excuses why the administration could
not 60 along with them.
Foreign policy has been kept out OF
partisan politics successfully since the
close OF the war.-largely through the
efforts OF the Republicans under the
leadership Of Chairman Vandenberg OF
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee. It was Senator Vandenberg who
stiffened the backbone Of the Truman
administration In its dealings with
Soviet Russia. and the policy today is
as much Senator Vandenberg's Is any
one elses. It does not appear likely.
under these circumstances. that the
foreign policy win become an issue IN
the presidential election. However. 1t
is within the bounds Of possibility that
the Democratic campaign next year VIII
be to run Mr.. Truman against Joseph
Stain, rather than against his Repub-
lcan opponent.

Crime on the Radio
TO the Editor Of The Star:
Crime does not pay for the criminal,
but is must be very rernunerative to
commercial sponsors OF radio programs.
Otherwise the ether waves would not
be devoting such large amount Of time
to it.
Why must the long suffering listening
public be compelled to stand by and
see such q valuable force for good used
to such purpose7 Why must the youth
OF the Nation be given daily lessons in
the ways and habits OF the underworld
and the depraved habits and vices of
murderers and murderesses? Especially
when there is such widespread juvenile
delinquency, why is it that such radio
programs continue to dramatic and
glorify the crime and vices of the UNDER

Oh yes, such programs are justified

Tito Sounds Off

Josip Broz, who as Marshal Tito"
heads the Communist-dominated
regime which rules Yugoslavia, has
not been slow to tell the world what
he thinks of American aid to Greece.
In a bristling speech, thunderous-
ly applauded by his legislative ro-
bots, the doughty marshal threw
down a whole series of challenges.
The American Government was the
chief villain in the piece. Tito
minced no words in lambasting
President Truman's proposal to ex-
tend aid to Greece, which he said
would make that unhappy country
a base for imperialistic forces in the
United States and Britain which
could endanger peace not only in
the Balkans but even in the entire
world. He likewise castigated Wash
ington's rundown of his recent re-
quest for food supplies, stigmatizing
this as an attempt to "blackmail'
hungry Yugoslavs into taking
Americans as tutors" in return for
bread. 1--WE see American imperial
ISM" he shouted, openly threaten
ing with war countries that will not
submit to its financial and imperial
istic dictatorship
Those are merely some of the
highlights of a speech which rang
other familiar charges and slogans.
Tito lauded "the unbeatable Soviet
Union,' beside which he and his
followers joyfully marched in COM
mon with the other "peace-loving"
countries of the Soviet bloc. together
with "the large majority of people
in the whole world, including the
United States and Britain. Their
adversaries, he said, are the numeri-
cally small but dangerous front OF
imperialists and war-mongers" who
disturb the worlds peace and the
aspirations of the toiling masses
everywhere There was likewise
talk about Aegean Macedonia" and
Yugoslav claims to Carinthia,
question that for us will not be
liquidated until it is rightfully
solved"
1t is interesting to note that this
outburst conceded with the pres-
ence in Belgrade, the Yugoslav
capital, of the United Nations Bal
kans Investigation Commission,
whose activities Tito so strenuously
disapproves. What is still more in
teresting is speculation as to how
much Tito was speaking ION his
own" and how much at the sugges-
ton of his Moscow mentors. It Is,

Strike-Free virqinio

While the Nation once again finds
itself helpless in the face OF a tele-
phone strike and John L. Lewis
version of the rose-by-any-ot -other-
name theme, residents OF Virginia
are reaping the benefits OF that
States effort to protect its people
against public utility strikes.
The Virginia law, which became
effective last January % after two
threatened utility strikes, applies to
water, light, gas, electric power,
TRANSPORTATION and communication
industries within the State. And it
empowers the Governor to seize and
operate any of these utilities when
a labor dispute threatens "substan-
TALLY to impair the safety or health
of the citizens of Virginia"
The Governor is authorized to
attempt to bring about an agreement
between the parties prior to seizure,
and If either side should notify him
that further negotiations would be
fruitless, he then must ask that the
dispute be submitted to arbitration.
II this request is rejected the party
deciding upon a lockout or strike
must set a date for the work stop
page which cannot be less than five
weeks from the date OF the notice.
At the end of the five-week period,
II no agreement has been reached,
the State takes over the business,
and operates it with personnel who
will have been trained during the
interval between the giving of notice
and the shutdown. The disputants
are expected to continue their nego-
tiations, and as an inducement to
bargain seriously the State operation
of the utility is set up on basis
which imposes financial penalties on
both the management and the
workers.
There is nothing in this which
compels the men to work beyond the
fve-week notice period. At the end
of that time they can strike If they
wish. But the State authorities are
given some opportunity to prepare
to keep the utility operating in the
public interest, and the strikers will
have less reason to hope that they
can exact better terms from the
management or the State by squeez-
ing the public through a prolonged
work stoppage.
The real effectiveness of this law
has not been tested and will not be
tested by the national telephone
strike unless it lasts longer than FIVE
weeks. For the time being, however,
the law is maintaining telephone
service in Virginia, and, to that
extent, it is a testimonial to the
effectiveness of action taken in the
public interest when the elected
representatives Of the people are
willing to act.

Sensible DeIetion

President Truman acted with good
judgment in exercising his powers
as Commander in Chief OF the Army
and Navy to strike from an Army
promotion list the name OF Lieuten-
ant Colonel James A. Kilian. There
by he has directed attention anew
to the need for revision of the Army
promotions laws-a need recently
stressed by Secretary of War Pat
terson.
Lieutenant Colonel Kilian Is the
officer who, as head OF the Litchfleld
disciplinary barracks In England,
was charged with permitting "cruel
and unusual" punishment OF soldier
prisoners. He was convicted by
court-martial. Yet, because Of an
absurdity OF the present promotion
law, the War Department had no
alternative but to include his name
among those of other lieutenant
colonels due for a step up in grade.
This anomalous situation arises
from the fact that existing law pro-
vides for automatic promotion OF
officers according to seniority.
. The Army would not find itself in
such predicament II Congress were
to approve the new promotion pro-
cedures recommended by Mr.. Pat
terson. The new plan, modelled along
lines of the Navy promotion system,
would take into account qualifica-
tions other than length of service
in grade. This would be effected
through selection by special boards
Of officers qualified for promotion.
These boards would have the
authority not only to advance
officers showing unusual capacity
but to eliminate those whose records
are not good. BY thus clearing away
the "deadwood," greater opportuni-
ties for promotion would be offered
to officers of all ranks, especially
those in the lower grades. This is
a reform that has been long overdue
in the Army.
