The Fleet Looks Up

The US. Navy, the worlds most
powerful armada in time of war, does
not intend to lose that supremacy in
time of peace. Jet aircraft will make
the fleet of tomorrow even more
powerful than its wartime predeces-
sor.
With pride pardonable on an ami
versary, the Navy noted this week
that its planes have flown both fastest
and farthest. In a NAVY Day" ac-
counting of naval aviation progress
during the past year, it said the world
speed record of 650.6 miles an hour
for its jet propelled B-558 Skystreak
still stands. Nor has the 11,236-mile
nonstop flight from Australia to Ohio
made by its two-engine "Truculent
Turtle" been surpassed by any of the
bigger aircraft Of other services or
other nations.
Putting premium on speed and
range, the. postwar feet is built
around the aircraft carrier and its
bomber, torpedo and fighter planes.
The traditional heavies of the fleet,
the battleship and the big cruisers,
have become supporting elements,
their chief mission to enable the car
rier to get into position for attack.

Death & Destruction

Forest fires this fall have taken an
unprecedented toll from coast to. coast.
There had BEEN little rain, especially
in New England, and the woods were
tinder. Fire, once started, leaped and
cracked through the treetops faster
than man could run.
Maine was the hardest hit. The Pine
Tree State had II dead and $30,000,-
600 in property damage in nation
wide toll of % dead and $32,0O0,00O in
damage. Maine, alone, lost l, ,148 homes
and hundreds of barns loaded with
crops.
Bar Harbor, wealthy resort town,
was two-thirds gutted by fire. More
than 800 year-round homes were de-
stroyed as well as so estates of wealthy
summer residents. Whole towns were
evacuated before the onrushing flames.
President Truman, acting upon an
appeal from Gov. Horace A. Hildreth,
proclaimed the entire state of Maine
a disaster area and rushed surplus
federal property and other aid to
stricken communities.
Maine, MASSACHUSETTS, New Hamp-
shire and New York barred tourists
from forest areas. In fire-ravaged
York County, Me-, self-appointed vigi-
lante committees carrying guns

EUROPE: STAGE for East West Crisis

THE "warmonger" campaign,
j key Kremlin strategy in the
1947 General Assembly, was de-
feated this week by majority Of
the 81 United Nations. Russia
withdrew its specific charges of
"warmongering" against the United
States, Greece and Turkey in a last
minute attempt to save its resolution
from defeat, but it was voted down
anyway-pa paragraph by paragraph.
Finally, joint resolution offered by
France, Australia and Canada, con-
demning "all forms of propaganda
likely to provoke or encourage any
threat to peace was passed by $50
vote in the assembly'S 57-nation po-
litical committee. The Dominican Re-
public abstained and Haiti was ABB
sent.
The Soviet bloc bowed after a Wit
riolic campaign which began Septem-
Der l8 when Andrei Y. Vishinsky in
his opening speech before the assem-
bly, introduced his swarmonger" reso-
luton and pointed his finger specifi-
cally at the U.S.. Greece and Turkey.
War Of Words
Vishinsky and other Russian satel-
lite spokesmen accused. more than a
dozen prominent Americans of being
"warmongers, including ex-Secretary
of State James F. Byrnes, John Foster
Dulles, Sen. Tom Connally (D-Tex),
Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (R-Mich)
Secretary of Defense James Forrestal
and Secretary of Commerce w. Aver
ell Hartman.
AT the same time Soviet magazines,
newspapers and radio unleashed an
unprecedented wave of villifcation
against American leaders.
Some observers see In the Moscow
tactics repetition of last years
strategy when Soviet delegates to the
U.N. Assembly proposed total dis
armament to entangle other nations
in an impractical wrangle. Their pur-
pose then, it is said, apparently was
to confuse the issues and take the
heat off their unilateral stand on con-
troll of atomic energy

Bulking large on the Executive
desk was the report of the 19-man
committee, headed by Secretary of
Commerce w. Averell Hartman,
which made an economic survey to
determine what aid the United States
can provide for Europe under the
Marshall self-help recovery plan.
The State Department disclosed
that needs listed under the Marshall
plan by l6 western European nations,
together with reports on prospects Of
aaa available from the United States,
will be ready for submission to Con-
gressional committees called to meet
November 10, a. week ahead of the
opening of the special session.
Federal Food Controls
The Administration was reported
blue printing rigid federal controls
over grain and other world-shortage
foods. A demand for food ALLEGATIONS
at the producer and distributor levels
was made by Chester Davis, presi-
dent of the Federal Reserve Bank Of
st. Louis and wartime food adninis-
traitor.
The White House, it was learned, is
considering such plan. BY regulat-
ing the flow of wheat, corn and other
foods into the hands of industry and
exporters, the Administration might
hope to curtail total demand and thus
indirectly depress priccs-while si-
multaneously earmarking quantities
for Europe.
Decision on foreign aid conceivably
may be attained in Congress without
too much partisan controversy even
though it is linked closely with the
problem of maintaining domestic
economy.
Sen. Robert "A. Taft, chairman of
the Senate's Republican Policy Com
mittee, said he thought a long range
program (not just stop-gap add
might be drafted for Europe before
December 19, when he expected ad-
journment for the Christmas holi-
days. A nine member House commit
tee, just back from Europe, declared
that continued aid should be imme-
diately furnished" Seven of the com-
mittee are Republicans.
The Republicans, however, are
drafting their own plan of battle
against high prices. 1t will be key
plank in the 1948 COP presidential
campaign.

Paul V. McNutt, counsel for the

accused the committee of charging by
"insinuation and innuendo" that the

opinion advanced by predecessor as
Dean of Canterbury - that America
was 100 years behind the rest of the
world in everything except religion;
in religion it was $50 years behind.
On his tour of eastern Europe, the
dean said he found a shocking lack
of tools in Poland, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania and
Bulgaria. "All they're anxious for

TINE fate of opposition leaders
= in eastern European govern
ments within the Soviet sphere
has become increasingly precari-
GUS. Satellite governments, like
the one in Moscow, act on the
theory that having more than one
political party is not only undemo-
cratic but traitorous as well.
The one-party theory is not wholly
a Soviet device. ChinR's governing
party, the Kuomintang, this week
outlawed its liberal opposition, the
Democratic League. Lo Lung-C Chi,
the leagues principal spokesman,
called the ban ''most unfair but In
dieated it would be wise for members
to obey and disband.
Recently Ferenc Macy, moderate
Hungarian leader, had TO offer his
resignation as premier to ransom his
small son held by Hungarian Comnu-
nists. Last month Nikolai Petkov,
Bulgarian anti-communist, was ex-
ecuted. despite British and American
protests. This week Stanislaw Miko-
lajczyk, leader of the opposition Poll
ish Peasant Party. fed his homeland.

turned from London to become vice

Enc Of Profit Shcrinq

The General Electric Co. decided
this week to abolish its profit-sharing
plan under which earlier this year it
distributed $3,O0O,OO0 among its 1907
900 employees.
The 13-year-old proft-sharing plan
for production workers no longer pro-
notes employe interest in the welfare
of company business, said Charles E.
Wilson, GE. president. in announcing
the discontinuance.
He said an extra compensation"
plan for executives would be COM
tinued since it did serve as an incen-
tive to executives to enhance the pros
perity of the company. Last year this
plan added $4,000 to Wilson's base
salary of 100000, bringing his total

I first shift overlap into the second
shift in the afternoon, but do not
work overtime, since enough teach
ers are provided to prevent this.
Lunch presents a further prob
lem. The school cafeteria, although
modern and having nice equip
ment, cannot hold all the students.
So the first shift of pupils eats
lunch in groups from 1890 am. to
1890 pm. The second shift starts
to eat lunch at 2:05 pm. and con-
tinues through $50.
Winter Difficulty.
A further difficulty is that in the
winter one class period must be
cut off the afternoon shift so the
children will not be going home
after dark.
And then it takes about five
minutes for a group of pupils to
leave one class at the end of a
period and get settled in another
for the next lesson. This further
cuts down on the instruction time.
Teachers cannot make pupils
"stay after school," either for disci-
plinary action or to help them
with extra coaching. Teachers on
the first shift must go straight to
classes in the second shift and
teachers on the second shift must
let pupils go straight home to get
them there before dark. Anyway.
there is no extra classroom space
to meet with these pupils, even If
the teacher had the time.
"All in all, it puts strain upon
the teaching staff" Mr.. Stinson said.
Cover Same Ground.
He explained that the school COW
cred the same ground in the lessons
that full-time schools do-but at a
more rapid pace.
"An element of Illustration enters
into it when the teacher realizes she
has to do in 40 minutes what some
one else has SIS minutes to accom-
plish," he said.
But he is not pessimistic about the
results. He said every one at the
school realizes what has to be done
and, despite handicaps, a decent
teaching job is being accomplished.
A number of minor time-saving
devices, such as having only one
bell ring to signal the end OF one
class and the beginning Of another,
have helped. Some schools sound q
bell warning that the period is al
most over, bell to end the period
and q bell to start the next one.
