Spivs And Drones Order Turns Up
Few Loafers' In British Drive

London (U.P.)-Britons are
puzzed over results Of the La
Dor governments recent efforts
to force loafers to work or else
Six months ago the govern
ment doomed a big campaign
against Britain's non-working
population. Linked with Prime
Minister Clement Attlee's aust
terity program, the drive
promptly was dubbed the
"spivs and drones order" a spiv
being a sort of chiseler.
In effect it said that if a per-
son did not choose to work he
would be offered a job. If he
was adamant and refused four
choices, then the Labor govern

to work.
For while it looked as though
Attlee had beaten the devil in
finding work for idle hands. Z"
But the results of the drive
didn't jibe with some of the facts

The First to Act

It is encouraging that the Board OF TRACE
has been the first big community organlza-
ton to apply for membership in United
Community Services.
This large and influential body has set
an example for other eligible city-wide
groups in its determination to add its
prestige and thinking to development OF
a health, welfare and recreational program
for Washington which the public will both
understand and support. The fact that
the board does not usually affiliate with
other organizations here makes its swift
action in this instance the more Significant.
United Community Services is being set
up by an interim committee to absorb the
functions of the Washington Community
Chest and the Council of Social Agencies.
It must not be allowed to fail. 1t needs
the support of these strong groups which
in their aggregate represent the voteless
community of Washington.
Delegates from participating community
groups will join with representatives of the
health, welfare and recreational operating
agencies and representatives of the public
at large to form the general assembly of
United Community Services. This assembly
will name a smaller board of trustees
which in turn will select an executive
committee to handle most of the details
of administration. Inclusion of the CITY,
wide groups is new and balancing fea-
ture in the preparation of the social
program.
An additional clue to the sincerity with
which the board is assuming its response
bilities in this new venture is its choice
of two top men-its president and executive
secretary-to represent it as delegates.
If other qualified groups act with similar
speed and appoint equally top-notch dele
gates, the next month or so will surely
see the emergence of strong, representa-
tive United Community Services, ready to
do the Job that must be done.

party campaigning in States once con-
sidered "safe" for either party would be
commonplace. The prestige of the indi-
vidual voter would be enhanced in all
States-for his one vote would count in
the final returns. Since there would be
no pivotal" States in the traditional sense,
the tendency to nominate candidates from
a few large States to WOO the favor of
those States would disappear.
It is unfortunate that the Gossett-Lodge
resolution has emerged from the committee
stage so late in this session of Congress.
Although the Judiciary Committees of both
houses have Endorsed the measure, its
chances of enactment in the short time
remaining before adjournment grow slim
mer with each passing day. But the
favorable committee reports are indica-
tions of an increasing approval of what
may be our next major constitutional
change.
Evening star., 1948-05-21

As for experienced ground forces, the
u. s. s. r. is far ahead OF the Western
Powers, at least in numbers. Thus, Gen.
eral Sibert's figures show that the Red
Army, despite the rehabilitation of many
infantry classes, was made up OF about
$500, 600 troops in 1947, as against $40, 900
for the United States, 650,000 for Britain
and 100000 for France. Upward of 1,500,-
600 of the Russian total were engaged in
occupation duties abroad; the rest-ap-
proximately 1000, ,000-were within the
Soviet borders. These 100000 together
with great number OF conscripts, were
maintained in such way, according to
General Sibert, as to enable the Kremlin
to build up, by 1855, trained reserve OF
from 15,00O,0 900 to 100000 men.
General Sibert's study is limited to last
year, but there has been no substantial
change in the scale of the Russians pre-
paredness. Their budget for the current
year-involving military outlay probably
$2,000,000,000 or more above the outlay
recommended by President Truman for our
own defense forests plain evidence of
their resolve to become the greatest armed
power in the world The situation speaks
pretty much for itself. Unless and until
the Kremlin changes its policy, we and
other free nations can lag behind in this
grim and costly race only at the risk of
exposing ourselves to disaster.

A New Election System

At a time when we are advocating before,
the world the principle of free, democratic
elections, it may seem bit ironlcal for
Congress to be told by one of its commit
tees that our own system of electing a
President is bad and needs overhauling
More specifically, the House Judiciary Com
mittee calls the present system mot fair,
honest, accurate, certain or democratic.
Those are harsh words, but the commit
tees report to the House recommending
abolishment of the electoral college pro-
vdes ample evidence that the criticism is
justified.
Experience has shown that the electoral
college system of choosing President and
a Vice President can lead to unfair and
anomalous results, to political chicanery
and to other evils which should have no
place in a democracy. 1t was compro-
mise plan adopted by the trainers OF the
Constitution to reconcile differences be-
tween those who favored direct elections
and those who feared that the people
would never be we'll enough informed to
make good choice of leaders. The electors
were to be outstanding men, well qualified
to make the final selections
Defects of the system began to be noted
as early as 1876, however. In that year
three Massachusetts, electors who had
pledged themselves to vote for Jefferson
for President cast their votes instead for
John Adams, giving Adams the election.
In 1900, the electors cast seventy-three
votes each for jefferson and Aaron Burr.
Although they had intended to elect Jeffer-
son as President and Burr as Vice Presi-
dent, the tie result led to long wrangle
in the House, where lame-duck F'ederalists
almost succeeded in putting Burr over.
That dispute led to an amendment requir-
ing the electors to designate their choices
for President and Vice President. And the
practice of voting by State blocs, which
came into vogue in 1900, makes it possible
for the man with the largest popular vote
to lose the election. That happened when
Jackson lost to Adams in 1924, Tilden to
HAYES in 1876 and Cleveland to Harrison
in 1888.
These and other cases are cited by Rep
resentative Gossett, Democrat, of Texas
and Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts in support of their jointly spon-
sored resolution to amend the Constitution
so that the President and Vice President
shall be elected by the people of the
several States" Under their plan, the
present ALLEGATION of electoral votes among
the States would continue, but they would
be cast not by State blocs but divided ac-
cording to the exact percentages of the
popular vote. Thus, If candidate re-
ceived 56 per cent of the popular vote in
a large State like New York, he would
receive just Sc per cent of New York's
forty-seven electoral votes.
Aside from the obvious fairness of such
q system, there would be salutary develop
ments with wide political ramifications.
No longer could small but vociferous mi
nority like the American Labor Party in New
York City hold the balance of power in
close contest for New York's big batch OF
electoral votes. No State, even in the
South, could be taken for granted. Two

Russion Preparedness

Writing in an unofficial capacity for the
Britannica Book of the Year, Brigadier
General Edwin L. Sibert, assistant director
of our Central Intelligence Group, has set
forth figures that should serve as sober
ing reminder of the great magnitude of
Soviet Russia's postwar military program.
Nothing could better demonstrate how
vitally important it is for the United States
and the free western world to make sure
that they keep themselves at least equally
well prepared.
One of the most significant of General
Sibert's figures is his estimate that the
Russians in 1947 spent more than $1,225,-
100000 on atomic development and other
ornaments research-a sum roughly the
same as our outlay for the manufacture
of the first A-bomb. To be sure, this does
not necessarily mean that they have sue
ceeded in producing their own nuclear
weapons, but it shows clearly enough that
they are not pinching pennies or losing
any time in their effort to catch up with US.
Further, wholly apart from the atom, we
can be sure that the Russians are doing
their best to achieve pre-eminence in other
types of ornaments, both conventional and
unconventional. To that end, according to
General Sibert, they spent at least &c.
000,0Oo,00O on new equipment last year, and
they had over five hundred German scien-
lists working for them in the field of
rockets, guided missiles and other new
weapons, including tank thought to be
the biggest and most formidable ever made.

Construction Delays Are Costly

How costly it can be to delay conStruc-
ton of needed public buildings is well
illustrated by the case Of the proposed
Spingarn Senior High School in the Ben
ming area.
In 1941 Congress appropriated $4,000
for the drawing up of plans and specifica-
tions for this urgently needed colored
school. The budget estimate of cost at
that time was 100000. On the basis of
those plans Congress in 1912 authorized
the Commissioners to let contract at a
cost not to exceed 81, ,158, $50. But the war
brought the project to halt. When Con-
gress acted again to revive the project in
1945 the cost limit was raised to 1884, 900.
In 1946 the estimated cost had risen to
$2,060,000 and Congress authorized that
limit. Last year the cost estimate jumped
half million dollars and Congress author
lied raising of the cost limit to $25o5, 600.
But rising construction costs have con-
tinued to play havoc with the estimates.
Now the Municipal Architects Office has
revised its previous figures upward until it
is indicated that about $3,500,000 will be
necessary to build the Spingarn High
School. That is almost four times the
amount estimated seven years ago as the
cost of the undertaking.
The Spingarn project is but one of a
number of schools and other public build
ings which are victims of war and spiraling
costs of real estate, labor and materials.
Schools are vital Improvements that can
not be indefinitely delayed without penalty
to the community. Some way must be
found to proceed with such essential con-
struction. Yet the community, like many
prospective home owner and many ex-
panding business enterprises, is facing a
situation in which building costs have out
stripped ability to pay for them. -. w.

The Murder of George Polk

To the Editor Of The Star:
The murder OF George Polk, an American
correspondent in Greece, should not only
merit full investigation by the Government of
the United States. but it should call for q
complete exposure of the real forces behind
the Athens government and free access to all
available information by citizens of this coun-
try.
1t is obvious that Mr.. Polk was murdered
by q person or persons connected with or
known to the present Greek government be-
cause Of Mr. Polks attempt to contact Gen.
Markos. As former Navy combat flyer dur
ing the war, there can be no question Of Mr..
polks integrity and his desire to present
true picture Of the Greek situation to the
American people.
The murder Of this correspondent Is crime
against humanity and an attempt to stifle a
free press; and the blame should not be al
lowed to rest upon a few unknown NAL
contents, nor should the offer of a reward
By the Greek government for the capture OF
Mr.. Polks murderer serve as whitewash for
the reactionary regime that We are arming
and supporting, regime that differs only by
its nationality from the governments we so
recently helped to destroy in formerly Axis
dominated countries.
II we believe In the principles Of democracy.
we cannot remain silent or inactive while
correspondents OF free nations are murdered
In order to suppress the truth.
JOHN g. ROGERS.
