The National Education Associa-
ton, preparing to resume its fight

the new Congress convenes, has
some appalling facts to present
Here are a few:
Four million children of school

school; 2,800,0 900 persons, IA years Of
age and older, are nliterate; 8,197,-
600 persons, IA years of age and
older, have less than fifth-grade
education; $4,000 persons were re-
jected by selective service solely for
educational deficiencies in World
War II; although 100000 new ele-
mentary teachers will be needed an
nually for the next 10 years, the
output of the teachers colleges in
1948 was about 10000, and our public
schools are not being prepared to
accommodate the 100000 increase
in annual enrolment expected by
1857.

sination. But the House surely is
equal tosthe task of regularizing the
committees proceedings to bring
them within the bounds of decency
and fair play. And the Committee
on Committees may be able to find
new members, including replace
ments for those defeated at the
polls, who are capable of behaving
in what we consider the American
way.
Meantime, efforts to counteract
any threat of Communist infiltration
into our democratic society can con-
tinue. How real the threat may be
is difficult to determine. But now
that the confusion of the campaign
has ended, one interesting bit of
evidence emerges.
Red Vote Analysed.
Henry Wallace's party managed
to muster little more than a mil
lion votes. Nobody will argue that
more than a small percentage of
those votes were cast by Commu-
nists. In fact, it has been CUSTOM
ary for former Communists and
other self-declared experts on the
subject to explain that the party
technique never has required large
numbers of members. A few, it is
said, can dominate the many by the
exercise of intelligence and energy.
Mr.. Wallace himself never has been
called a Communist, even by his
bitterest enemies; just Commu-
mist stooge. a sincere American
dreamer led astray. And so for
most of his followers.
1t seems fair then to estimate
that of those voting for Mr.. WAL
lace not more than one in ten was
a Communist. After all, there were
issues other than communism on
which Mr. Wallace took stand
that appealed to voters. Many sin
cere isolationists, on the one hand.
and many sincere adherents to the
one-world ideal, on the other. had
doubts concerning the two old par
ties. And there certainly was much
discomfort with both of the old par
ties in the field of domestic affairs.
The urge to cast a protest vote was
widespread.
If then the Wallace Communist
vote was only one in ten, it would
mean that We now have something
like 100000 Communists in this
country. And that has been the
estimate of their number for the
past 20 or 80 years. Despite all the
hullabaloo and the frenzied effort
to blow them up into a great men,
ace, they still don't seem to amount
to much. Not at the polls, at least.
However. the Communist philos-
ophy may be spreading. Many good

Replaced as Army Chief
By the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Nov. 13.-Gen. Sergei
M. Shtemenko today was appointed
Russian army chief of staff, replac-
ing Marshal Alexander M. Vasilev-
sky, who was relieved because OF
overwork.
Gen. Shtemenko was promoted
from the rank of colonel general to
general Marshal Vasilevsky re-
tanned his post of first vice minister
of the armed forces. He led the
Russian forces which liberated the
Crimea and later captured Koenigs-
berg in East Prussia during the
drive to Berlin.
Prime Minister Stain signed the
decree which promoted three other
Soviet officers to the rank of general
of the army.
They were VASTLY L. Chuikov, a
hero of the battle for Stalingrad,
who was decorated in 1943 by Pres
ident Roosevelt; Vladimir Kurasov,
and G. K. Malandin. who distin-
guished himself on the Ukranian
front.
Gen. Shtemenko, who became
deputy chief of staff of Soviet armed
forces last January, holds number
of decorations. He was elected dep
uty to the Supreme Soviet Of the
Russian Socialist Federated Soviet
Republic from the Orel region early

Strategically 1t is Of great i'm
portance to this country, which suf-
fered serious setback when the
Moscow sponsored Chinese Com
munists evicted Chiang's troops
from Manchuria. While it can be
of little use in an offensive war, its
control by the United States through
its local authorities can help us de-
Ffensively. It is situated within TOO
miles of the Philippines and less
than one-third that distance from
Canton.
According to reports from the
Formosan capital, the handful of
underground Communists already
are preparing for large-scale agi-
tation to be started as soon as the
Nationalist government evacuates
Nanking. And it is obvious to the
Formosans that unless they are
placed under the physical protec-
ton of the United Nations, of which
America is the sole agent in the for
mer Japanese possessions in the
South Pacific, troubles leading to
the creation of a Communist gov
ernment are bound to occur. They
don't want this to happen, and we
are interested in preserving at least
one outpost near the Chinese main

factor in the Truman victory. but
so were the farmers in such States
as Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and
California, and so were the various
racial and religious groups to Whom
Mr.. Truman especially appealed.
Also, the 100000 Federal jobhold-
ers contributed in votes about as
much as-perhaps more than-any
other group. This mandate talk is
nonsense.
How Far Will He Go?
Nevertheless. with the exception

they were all on Mr.. Trumans side,
including the Reuthers, Murrays
and Whitneys, who violently op-
posed his nomination and had pub
licly as well as privately spoken OF
him with great contempt. There
is, however, enough in their claims
to insure a sympathetic attitude
upon the part of Mr.. Truman TO-
ward a fourth wage-increase drive
and make certain a strong fight
on his part to redeem his pledge
to repeal the aft-Hartley Act.
But the question is how far can
the newly elected Mr. Truman be
pushed by these labor bosses who

Among the hume erous other
pledges made by Mr.. Truman dur
ing the campaign perhaps the most

bring prices down and control in
f1ation. A White HouSe-supported
fourth wage increase drive. such as
is looming, would certainly tend to
make redemption of these two
promises very much more difficult
if not impossible. Certainly, in
creased wages is inevitably fol-
lowed by increased prices and that
is distinctly inf1ationary. 1t is alb
surd to put a ceiling on prices
without putting ceiling on wages
Everybody agrees about that. Yet
Mr.. Truman is pledged to do the
first and under more or less obliga-
ticns not to 90 the second.
The fact is this is only one case
in which he has overpromised him
self. Soon or late he is bound to
realize that he can't go in different
directions at the same time. Soon
or late he will have to battle inf1a-
ton and high prices as he promised
the people generally or pay the
rather ruinouS bill of the labor
bosses to whom he undoubtedly
owes something. On two occasions
since he became President Mr.. Tru-
man proved he can be pushed too
far by reckless labor bosses. It may
be he will have to make another
stand to check excesses dangerous
to the national welfare. The out
look would be more encouraging if

Belts Warns Bible Society
Of World Spiritual Famine

Unless Christians soon begin a

inc that exists in the world, there.
will be little hope for the future.
Rome A. Belts, general secretary Of
the American Bible Society, de-
clared yesterday.
He was principal speaker at a

Society's National Capital District
and the Round Table Luncheon Club
in the Hotel Washington.
Warning Of the spiritual vac

lives today, Mr.. Belts urged Amer
lea to supply spiritual food" such
as scripture texts as well as physical
aid to foreign lands.

Bible were distributed here by the
group last year. George Fraser,

Drive by Union Bosse,
For Fourth Round Of
Wage Raises Looms
Industrial Peace Upset
Seen With Attempts to
. Collect on Truman Win
By Frank r. Kent

e From Wall street to the West
p Coast waterfront labor leaders are
$ feeling tough again. There Will be
more strikes, more sidewalks Uttered
with organizing propaganda, more
maneuvering and footwork as the
unions prepare to hit employers
: In the fourth drive for new wage
= increases-whether prices stay up or
20 down. OF course, the election
:, did it,"
. This not altogether pleasing pros
pect for industrial peace comes from
neither Republican nor Democratic
conservatives. Nor does 1t emanate
from anti-Truman or antllabor
sources. On the contrary, it comes
from a recognized authority on
clabor affairs, probably the best in
formed man in the country on labor
politics, with a wider and more inti-
mate acquaintance among the labor
bosses than any other-Victor Riesel
Gof the New York Evening Post.
Similar views are reflected by others
who work in the same vineyard
Exactly identical ideas are held by
the more level-headed politicians in
both parties. This being the case, it
would seem timely to acquaint the
people generally with what they
may expect.
. Unions Set for Action.
, In the first place, there seems no
doubt that, while before election
most union chiefs had no strike
.plans for 1949 and hoped their fol-
lowers would not press them into a
new wage fight, they are now get
ting set for action.
For example, 1000 900 rail workers
are about to demand five days work
for six days pay. A tleup OF the
Atlantic Coast water front, not un-
like that on the West Coast, i'm
pends, with the union chiefs trying
to keep the Communist squads from
taking over.
Between now and next summer
about 10000 union contracts termi-
nate, including those in the great
steel and aircraft plants. Besides
wage increases, large number OF
these unions have many other de-
mands ranging all the way from air
conditioning in the factories and
mills to maternity benefits. In
brief, far from being period of in
dustrial peace, 1949 promises more
industrial strife than any year since
1945.
u The big basic reason for this un-
promising outlook, of course, is the
labor bosses belief that "the people
ordered it" in the recent election;
that organized labor elected Mr..
Truman and he has a mandate
from the voters to support labor S
position. Already asserting the
claim that Mr.. Truman owes his
success to organized labor's efforts
in his behalf, the leaders of organ
lied labor are going to present and
they believe-collect very large bill
for services rendered.
OF course, the election returns do
not bear out these contentious. The
figures do not show that the people
ordered" anything of the kind, or
that there Is any clear mandate
from them on anything. 1t is true

cordance with the trusteeshlps IN
the Pacific area which were granted
to us by the U. N. in 1947 with the
consent of Russia.
This move, which is said to be
only of recent date, sprung from the
fact that the inhabitants of For
mosa fear chaotic conditions In the
event the Nanking government col
lapses and the area south OF the
Yangtze River becomes the scene OF
civil war while the northern area

nese Communist armies is said to
have been first conceived by the
youthful governor, Wei-Tao-Ming,
close friend of Chang Kai-shek,
who was Chinese Ambassador to
Washington until 1916.
Gov. Wei is an enlightened and
progressive Chinese educated in
Paris. While many describe him as
pro-American, he is in fact strongly
Chinese and wishes to do whatever
is best for his country. AS governor
of Formosa he is responsible for
having introduced sweeping reforms
and administering the island in such
an intelligent and firm manner that
the inevitable Communist intrigues
which sprang up in Formosa, as in
other parts Of China, were nipped
in the bud without trouble.
The Formosan population, while
suffering from the aftereffects OF
war, is in better shape from the
point of view of food and organiza-
ton than almost any portion OF
Asia. This relative well-being has
prompted various Formosa leaders
and the rank and file of the popu-
lation, which is far more advanced
educationally than any area on the
mainland, to support the plan to
avoid chaos for the island by plac-
ing it directly under protection of
the limited States
While no official in Washington is
willing to discuss this topic, which
has never been broached officially
by the Chinese sponsors of the
movement. it is admitted in respon-
sible circles that we would be very
ill-advised not to favor such re-
quest.
Island Is Self Supporting.
The island is self-supporting, be-
ing predominantly agricultural, al

Leon Henderson Urges Demo Com mittee e to
 Pledge for Controls
By FRANCES M. LEMAY

PHILADELPHIA, July 9--lR- Leon Henderson, Wartime OPA Ad- ministrator, urged the Democratic Platform Committee today to pledge immediate action to restore price, allocation, inventory and credit controls.
 This must be done, he said, ito prevent any further rise in prices. '
 "Inflation," said Henderson, lis a time bomb placed at the founda- tions of our prosperity Everyone knows that the. bomb bears the stamp made by the COP Unless this bomb is removed it will blow us into the worst depression in our history"
 Henderson presented his state ment on behalf of the Americans for Democratic action.
 He appeared after the committee had heard demands from other wit nesses for abandonment of the "Tru- man Doctrine" in Greece, for in- dorsement of arms shipments to the new state of Israel, and for the creation of federal union of dem- ocratic peoples of the world.
