High Voltage In Palestine
(The Denver POSt)


 IF THERE IS HOPE of keeping the Arab-Jewsh con- fct in Palestine from bursting into open civil war, it must rest upon timely action to check the growing sion. The situation is like hgh-votage electrical condenser building up huge potential of hate and vio- lence which presently will crackle the Holy Land unless prompt steps taken to avert it.
 It is situation in which few clear facts stand out The threatened holy has so far been confined to guerrilla skrmshes and isolated bombings and assas- nations In these actions neither side has been blame less The 300 plus deaths to date but mild forerun- ner of the toll if full-scae should break out
 The most encouraging report has come from Cairo It still little than rumor but it tells of decision reached in secret meetings of the Arab league that no member state shall send it's army against the Palestine Jews The decision is said to have been prompted by quiet pressure from the United States and Britain It does not mean that the Arabs will not fight for the

league members have agreed tt aid the anti-partition movemen' with money and recruits.
 While the British are reported working behind the diplomatic scenes, they appear to be letting the situation in Palestine get out of hand. There, under the eyes oi British police, the Arabs are building up an army which swells daily with new recruits.
 The British have the responsi- bility of maintaining order in Pal estine until they surrender their mandate May IS, and their spokesmen say they have no in- tention of calling upon the United Nations security council for help. Very well, then, it is up to them to do what they can to pacify the disputants until that date. They will not be fulfilling their Gespon- sibility if they hand the world a civil war which they have done little to prevent.
 The Jews themselves have re- sponsibility as we'll, perhaps the greatest-and one to which they unfortunately are not living up. That is the duty of restraining their own extremists. Reports of Jewish attacks on Arab centerS have outnumbered those in which the Arabs have been the aggres- sors. This does not befit a people who have won a great victory. It would be we'll for the Jews to practice forebearance, even in the face of provocation.
 Before the world, the Jews have the solemn responsibility of prov ing that partition will work. They cannot ask the world to forget it was they who insisted on this danger-f -fraught solution of the Palestine question. The nations which shared in this decision must help, of course; but intelli- gent statesmanship on the part of the Jews will make the outcome less hazardous.

That's That
 By BRUCE GUSTIN

As Senators Aiken and Kilgore argue, Its unfair and unreason- able to ask people to eat less bread and meat when distillerS are per mitted to use grain they do not need for some months" But it is even more unfair and more unrea- sonable to take American grain from American distillers, ship it abroad for relief" purposes, and then allow foreign countries to use that grain to make whiskey which will be shipped back to the United States.
 If more attention were given in Washington, D. C., to increasing production than to pleas for peo- pie to eat less and to restoration of wartime rationing and price controls, we might get somewhere. Senator Capehart of Indiana sized up the situation accurately when he said there are only two me4h- ods to increase American food supplies: Planting more acres, producing more per acre: "Infla- tion cannot be curbed,. except temporarily, through rationing and price control. Price control, if continued forever, would not pro- duce single pork chop, a single buShel of corn, a single bushel of wheat" That is common sense.
 The practice of allowing army officers retired for physical dis ability" to draw tax-free pensions and earn big money on the side is outrageous. Recently, it was dis closed that Maor General Meyers who is mixed up in war contract scandal had been retired in 1945 for physical disability" and was drawing tax-free pension of $550 month. Mayor General Vaughan the Presidents military aide says he knows retired officer who has been earning $70,00O an nually in an outside job. "Any-

As result their currencies selling greatly under the official rates wherever free markets for their currencies exist Devaluation under these circum- stances is simply acknowledgment of fact But when devaluation starts, later other countries will follow in order to protect their export trade Eventually this will call for formal acknowledgment of another fact, the free market price of gold.

Wedemeyer On China Aid
(Rocky Mountain News)

(ROcky Mountain NeWS)
 AFTER THE CLINCHING testimony to Senate committee the need for economic and military aid to China, the Administration no longer continue it's donothing policy without dscredit to itself and danger to ally.
 Those who testified were It. Gen. Albert C. Wede- meyer, Rep Walter H. Judd and William c. Bullitt All recognized experts in the field All have made re- cent investigations the spot They agreed the need is immediate and grave.
 The statements of General Wedemeyer were the more impressive because he speaking under wraps chief of the army general saffs planning and opera tonS dlvisiOn and the presidents recent special voy to China whose official report hase been suppressed
 Though ordered by the President, he declined to give the committee copy of his report he urged quick American assistance China and gave plenty of factua information for backing such policy.
 Nobody successfully discount the Wedemeyer testimony, because other person speak with his authority.
 As result of close wartime association with Chiang Kai-Shek he knows his At the same time he has proved that he is blankcheck partisan having been supercritical of the national governments shortcom ngs Moreover the army gobal straegist, he does not see China separately but part of general curity problem.
 He disposed easily of the shallow hackneyed excuses for withholding American aid at this time.
 One excuse is that Chiang is dictator. While agree ing that the generalissmo is virtually benevolent despot in ways, General Wedemeyer pointed out that Chang is trying to establish democracy which is long job there.
 ed all that the generalssimo remained loyal to when the Japs repeatedly offered him attractive peace terms And that, the oldest strongest opponent of Comun ism there, Chiang is the logical leader to his country from the Red rebel armies.
 But shouldn't concentrate on helping Europe first and leave China for later? If try to ignore the Con- munist threat in China while opposing in Europe shall risk the pecemea dissipation of forces Gen. eral Wedemeyer replied.
 Of course it would be helpful if Stalin would limit his aggression to at tme-then could concen- trate Europe and forget the Far East for while But as long Stalin advances many fronts-and he is going faster in China than elsewhere defense also must be glObal

predicted to the Washington Society

The international situation, how
ever, will be the overriding force In

crease considerably In the next fiscal
year, inflationary forces Will con-

pushed further into the future.
ut appears that the big wartime
backlogs of demand for many con-
sumers' soft goods and even some
durable goods are gone" Mrs. Wick

for these particular goods Is to be
viewed in terms of current, not ac-

Korean Official Urges
That U. 5. Troops Stay
BY the kssoeiotsd Press

SEOUL. Korea, Nov. 18.-Kim
Dong Sung, South Korean govern
ment publicist, urged in . prepared
statement today that the United
States keep troops in Korea.
The statement said unfounded
predictions of wholesale American
troop withdrawal and threatened
invasion OF South Korea by Com
munists from the Soviet zone had
caused unrest here.
For her moral obligation. for
international prestige, or for her
self security" Kim said, the United
States will not, by any means, take
steps to withdraw her troops un-
conditionally" from South Korea.
He said immediate American
withdrawal, would mean nothing
less than letting the Communist
army take a free hand over the
country"
Ambassador John J. Muccio, who
went into conference with Maj. Gen.
John B. Coulter, American COM
mander in Korea, upon his return
tonight from Tokyo, said earlier the
policy of keeping American troops
here hinged on the action taken by
the General Assembly Of the United
Nations at Paris. The policy was
laid down two months ago by Secre-
tary of State Marshall.

Egyptian authorities began today
to unload the cargo Of the American

Israel.
(The State Department in

eating the Egyptian action)
The manifest Of the 10,000-ton
ship, operated by the Isbxandtsen

as bound for Genoa, italy. THE

destined for Tel Aviv.
The vessel, carrying SO vehicles,
1000 bags Of rice and q large num-
ber Of batteries and automobile
spare parts, was halted at Post Said
Tuesday.

last night that I'VE may be teach
ing q lot Of things in the next few
years that we never before thought
Of teaching"
His remarks to the Montgomery
Blair High School Parent-Teacher
Association were heard by many who
in recent months have debated the
merits Of public school curricula.
I'VE are committed to the educa-
ton of all youth who desire It," Dr.
Pullen said. "At present, 7 out of 1C
children Of high school age are en-
rolled in high schools. This is 8 or
10 times as many as were enrolled,
out of approximately the same popu-
lation, in 1915.
Opportunities Seen Improving.
II am convinced that the oppor-
tunities of education to all our
people will be raised in the future
even beyond what they are today
DR.. Pullen said the job for the
schools is to find out the peculiar
abilities of the pupils and to see
that the curriculum is sufficiently
broad to make them civic-minded
and social-minded and to meet their
vocational needs"
In addition to fundamentals, DR.
Pullen said, the schools should offer
for enjoyment Of the pupils. courses
in art, music and the fine arts;
provide adequate vocational oppor-
tunities and develop posthigh schoo
training.

youth is entitled to the limited tech
nical training possible in an exten-
sion Of the regular 12-year study.
There Is definite need for short
training and short courses in junior
colleges, the superintendent said.
II think one of the greatest edu-
cational expansions is coming at
that level. And It will not hurt the
colleges or universities.
Rather than proving to be a re-
stricting influence, junior colleges
will give impetus to the idea OF
