This Changing World
Russians Continue Pressure on Berlin;
Troop Shifts Seen Part of War of Nerve.

caused more Of an impression in
France, the Benelux countries and
Italy than in the United States and
Britain. All reports from Western
European countries show an in
creasing nervousness among their
populations. This nervousness is
heightened by the activities on the
Western bank of the Rhine, where
Notifications, tank traps and other
defensive war preparations are being
hastily made.
The French war industry, which
is being reconstructed, is working
overtime. But the populationsl of
Western Europe are skeptical about
the ability of their forces to resist
a Russian onslaught for any length
of time.
This panicky feeling plays per-
fectly into the hands of the Krem-
lin. The members of the Politburo
are convinced that if they can shat
ter the nerves of the peoples on the
fringe of the Iron Curtain their
governments eventually will be
forced to abandon the common
front with the United States and
Britain and will break away from
us at the right moment.
Challenge to Marshall Plan.
The Marshall Plan, which has be-
gun to have a calming effect in the
beneficiary countries. is being chal-
lenged now by Russia S tough at
titude and by the mere movement
of heavy forces. Even the impress
sion of security created in Western
Europe by the arrival of go Ameri-
can B-29 bombers and SO jet planes
is beginning to wear off.
The consensus of most of our top
diplomatic and military officials is
that Russia may not intend to push
matters to final showdown and
shooting war, but is using its vast
land forces to terrorize those who
fear they will lose what little they
had after World War II.
This may not be an ethical diplo-
matte maneuver, but it is certainly
effective, costs the Kremlin nothing,
and is likely to yield far more posi-
tive results in the immediate future
than We are gaining with the ex-
penditure of billions of dollars
under the Marshall Plan.
This atmosphere of pressure, I'M
der which the American, British
and French ENJOYS are compelled
to negotiate with the cynical Krem-
lin officials, amply explains the lag
in the conversations The Kremlin
is not in hurry and expects that
its threats will seep into the minds
of Western Europeans sufficiently to
compel their governments to SUR
render-eyen against the wishes of
the American Government.

Southern statesmen? Sitting among
the ruins of their party, not ruling
anything.
In order to rule they would have
to throw the election into the
House of Representatives by pre-
venting either President Dewey or
Gov. Dewey from getting the neceS-
sary majority, 266 electoral votes.
That's the aim that some of them
profess. With the House choosing
the President, they say, the South
ern Representatives would have the
balance of power and could dictate
the choice.
Very Big Order, Indeed.
But think what it means if the
iSoutherners can deprive Truman of
100 votes. 1t means a weakness on
his part that even the most conf
dent Republican doesn't claim. If
he cannot do any better than that
in the South he certainly won't
offer Gov. Dewey any serious OPP
position in the North. The Cover
nor can consider his necessary 266,
with plenty more besides, in the
bag right now. To whittle Dewey
down to 265-and so throw the cleo
ton into the House-the President
would have to gather 1866 electoral
votes in the North. Things being
the way they are, that's a big
enough order. Considering the
damage that Wallace and Taylor
may do In certain States, it's very
big order, indeed.
No. if the Southerners want to
rule and not merely ruin, they are
going about it in the wrong way.
What they should do is this: Get
in there and help the Truman ticket
roll up almost, but not quite,
enough votes to win, seeking for
themselves the electoral votes of
only a State or two. Then neither
of the major candidates having won,
the House would have to decide and
the Scutherners could start exercis-
ing their balance of power.
This freely offered suggestion is
a practical one. The Southerners
can help the President a great deal
this fall. For one thing they can
collect campaign funds, which the
Democratic Party Is reputed to need
rather badly. The oil interests have
become ardent States Fighters on
account of the tidelands oil. The

has closed the house for good or
not. Certainly there Is an air Of de-
sertion about it now. While I was
about the grounds many Indians
came to stand in front Of the big
house and gaze UP at the windows
Of the room of the right wing in
which Gandhi breathed his last.
The trial Of the alleged assassins
has been going on for quite some
time now, and 1t is expected to
last for at least three more months.
No detail is too minor to be brought
out, examined. re-examined, and
endlessly discussed. This, it is
said, is due to the political and
religious aspects of the trial. As
you know, the thing which brought
the whole assassination plot to a
head was Gandhi's insistence that
Hindu India give financial assist
ance to Moslem Pakistan. Gandhi,
a Hindu by birth, really was a Deist.
He loved humanity so much that
any religion was acceptable to him,
and he felt that If the Pakistan
Moslems were suffering, they should
be given help.
Verdict To Bring Trouble.
Here in New Delhi one gets the
feeling that a great many Hindus
are in sympathy with the assassins,
They don't. as a Eindu explained
TO me. actually condone the murder,
but at the same time they feel that
the murderers had a justifiable
reason for their action. Indeed, had
1t not been the reyered Mahatma
who was killed, there might well
have been rejoicing in the street.
Hindus do not like Moslems, and
vice versa. and there is no getting
away from that fact.
More than one resident of New
Delhi has told me that no matter
what verdicts are brought in at the
end of the trial, there is going to
be trouble. If the accused get off

power interests are likewise keen on
this Southern philosophy; they
don't like Federal regulation. The
same is true of the natural gas

better place to look for money than
where the money is.
Way Things Are.
And if the Southerners let these
corporations in on this secret plan
the corporations may withhold their
contributions to the Dewey cam
paign. After all, it is safer to trust
a Southerner with your sacred
States rights than a New Yorker
The great Federalist and Republican
Party hero. Alexander Hamilton
was New Yorker, wasn't he?
OF course, the success of this
scheme cannot be guaranteed. For
one thing, if the Republicans get on
to 1t, they are certain to try to turn
it to their advantage. In 1924, when
they ver-estimated the vote pulling
power of John w. Davis on the one
hand and Robert M. La Toilette on
the other, they set up the cry of
Coolidge or Chaos!" The chaos
was supposed to result If Coolidge
failed of majority and the election
was thrown into the House. They
convinced a good many voters.
This year they can do that again.
The slogan already prepared,
Dewey or Communism" can be
expanded into, Dewey or Commu-
niSm-and Chaos"
So it won't be easy for the South
erners, but that's the way things
are in politics, no matter how high
minded your own approach may be.
If the Southerners are determined
to rule, they will have to face some
of these distressing facts.

lightly, the Moslems are going to
do something about it. If the ac-
cused are given death sentences,
which, you will remember, Gandhi
preached so strongly against-"never
a life for a life"-the Hindus are
likely to see to It that blood flows
once more down the street called
Chandni Chowk.
The trial is being held in q small
chamber In the massive Fort, built
by the Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan.
Not far from the room where the
trial is being conducted is the spot,
within the walls of the Fort, where
Gandhi was cremated.
I told you would tell you about
the trial today, but that will have
to wait until tomorrow.

HEALTH BOARD
MAKES REPORT
43 Cases of Measles and 33
Cases of Mumps Report
ed This Year
BOARD GIVES WARNING

There have been 43 cases OF
measles and 33 cases of mumps
reported in Delaware thus far this
year, according to the Vital Sta
tistics Division of the State Board
of Health. New Castle County and
the City of Wilmington have been
the most severely affected with AZ
of the reported measles cases and
all 33 of the cases of mumps oc-
curing in that area. Last year at
this time there were only 3 cases
of measles and 2 cases of mumps
reported in the entire state.
All ages are susceptible to both
of these diseases, but measles is
the most dangerous to the very
young, especially infants and chill
dren under the age of 8, while
mumps most often affects the
group between 5 and Is years
Both measles and mumps are most
prevalent during the winter
months and early spring, but the
symptoms and effects of the 2 dis
eases are different.
The symptoms of measles are
those of common cold at its
height, and the temperature is u.s.
ually in the neighborhood of 102-
104 degrees. A rash usually be-
ginning about the face and neck,
behind the ears, on the forehead
and later on the chest and re-
mainder of the body, may appear
on the second or third day and on
the third or fourth day the eyes
may become sensitive to light
The incubation period for measles
is ten days on the average, but il
may vary between eight ant
twelve days.
State Board officials warn that
measles is more readily transfer
red than any of the other com
municable diseases with the possi
BILE exception of smallpox. Car
riers of the disease may be infec
tious one or two days before tht
first symptom occurs and five t.
six days during the rash.
In the majority of instances
transmission is direct from per
son to person by means of drople
infection. Articles freshly soileC
by discharges from the mouth
nose and throat of an infected per
son may also be infectious.
The exact period in which
mumps can be transferred from al
infectious patient to others is not
known. However, State Health
officials believe this disease prob
ably is transmitted a short time
before the swelling is noted anc
throughout the period of swelling
which may last from ten to twelve
days.
The first symptom of mumps is
a headache accompanied by a chill.
1y sensation and pain or a drawing
sensation in the glands of the
neck. Swelling occurs within eight
to ten days as a general rule. Ere.

How to Keep Dampness

Sweating cellar walls often are
mistaken for leaking walls. This
dampness from condensation can
be combatted by keeping cellar
windows closed on damp days and
open for thorough ventilation on

Major cracks or crumbling of
the foundation walls may call for

of the foundation after the house
is shored up. Minor cracks often
can be stopped from the inside.
