 The pessimsm reported in Allied capitals on the Russo Western conversations is genuine enough But how much is due to sheer fatigue is another matter Secretary Marshall himself looks we'll and, though he is not by nature equabe man. he appears to have developed at least facade of composure. Yet the kind of diplomacy waged by the Kremlin is foreign to his temperament He is, moreover, soldier by training and approach, and the weasel words and crcumocuton associated with Soviet diplomacy leave him puzzled. Even John Hay commented on his trials in dealing with Russian diplomacy "mendacity." but John Hays task was chd's play compared to MT. Marshas, for Soviet diplomacy, being the spearhead of an international conspiracy, has super Machiav ellian quality about it. Nor the quick change the Italian colonies testfies it is subject to disguise
 This contempt for world opinion is thing to wonder at No Czarst diplomat would keep straight face in the of his Soviet counter part while indulging in repetitious lies which palpably devoid of any connection with fact We In similar circumstances Mir Hull dressed down Ja- pans Kurusu in the final interview prior to the Japanese American war but MT. Hull then knew that the guns had already gone off, and he could vent his indignation with impunity MT. Marshall has need for and shows restraint in spite of tempetations that must be frequent to repeat MT. Hull's performance The cross is equally hard to bear for MT Marshals dual task of keeping united front among the Allies and evolving fresh instructions for the Allied repre- sentatives in Moscow and Berlin

 Looking the financial columns of the New York Times sometimes do in moments of desperation, our eye fell on an item of more than ordinary import to all proponents of free-enterprise capitalism. One of the presidents of General Motors the in charge of distribution, has resigned contemporary said, "to enter private business"
 Being within naked-eye range of the Federal Government, have been highly conscious of and less concerned the way many of the most competent public servants have been departing for the greener pastures of private business But until now had realized that the siren call being felt in the General Motors administration out in De- troit too Apparently the man who once said that the real boss of all big business is the Collector of Internal Revenue wasn't far wrong after all.
 He had in mind of course the endless forms, rules, regulations inspections, reports and red tape that issue from the Government, severely limit the free dom of all enterprise in this socalled free enterprise system and occupy much of the time of executives in any large What mpresses us is that the subsconscous realization of this state of affairs has become so natural that General Motors-of all firms
 referred to- albeit indirectly and inadvertently if it were not private business.
 We commend the issue to the attention of MT. Henry Wallace and of the World Council of Churches, and wish the vice president we'll in his bold venture out of the safe compound of Government-c t-controled enterprise into the distant wds of private business

ILLINOIS GAMBLING
 POLITICS

One of the most respected and efficient members of Congress dur ing the past decade has been COP Rep. Everett Dirksen of Pe- kin. H., now stepping out to join the Dewey entourage. Out in rock ribbed Illinois, the Republicans aren't too happy about the man they are supposed to elect as his successor-Judge Harold Velde.
 Velde has received heavy ti- nancial support from Bill Degaris of the night-club gambling frater- nifty, and the other day one of his campaign managers had a highly significant conversation with Harry Neumiller, President of the Heni- tube Manufacturing Co.,, of Peoria.
 Mistaking Harry for his brother, L. B. Neumiller, who is President of the Caterpillar Tractor Co.,, Velde's solicitor asked for a cam paign contribution. Harry Neumill- CT declined.
 You better think that over" replied Veldes money-raiser. Don't forget that Judge Velde sits on the Tazewell County Court and has lot to say about fixing taxes for the county. Don't forget that the Caterpillar Tractor Company's property is all in Tazewell Coun- ! ty."
 You happen to have the wrong man." replied Harry Neumiller But if you think blackmail will get campaign contribution out of either me or my brother, you're mistaken"
 Later Harry's brother. L, B. Neu- miller, head of the Caterpillar Tractor Co.,, was approached for a Velde contribution.
 You know perfectly we'll it's against the law for corporation to contribute" L. B. Neumiller re- plied.'
 Yes, but there are ways of get ting around that" was the pointed suggestion. Neumiller, however, did not take the suggestion.
 Meanwhile Velde has had lots of financial support from the gamblingliquor fraternity which, in Tazewell County and Peoria County alone, contributed S35, ,000 to the l944 campaign of Velde's political friend, Gov. Dwight Green. THE NEGROES GREAT

STEADY PROGRESS

Having counted with care, the Census Bureau declares that there at present 2800000 Americans above IA years of age who neither read write Stated in absolute terms that seems staggering total of iliterates Set against the stupendous sums of money we spend America for schools it looks like ugly black mark
 And as a matter of fact, it is black mark for the country although not necessarily for the country educational facilities Expenditures for education vary widely from section to another. The lliterates ot course is most common in areas of low average ln- come and consequent low expenditures for education
 When the statistics are examined in perspective, however they are not too dscouraging. The rate of lliteracy is 27 per cent We may grant there is no excuse for that many illiteraes nation with total income of s220O00 OOO0 900 a year But the figure for 1880 was AT per cent And in 1920 it 65 per cent. We are progressing Looking back still. further, to 1870 when public education much more restricted, we find an illiteracy rate of 20 per cent.
 It is fair conclusion that we are making steady progress. That progress is traceabe to compulsory school attendance to the extension of educational facilities and opportunity, to the special instruction given to terates the armed forces, and of course to the death rate among older iterates who too old to learn'
 We shall not make further progress, however, in proportion to our total expenditure for education For the future we shall have to aim at the greater equalization of educational opportunity Greater at- tention must be given to these particular areas n

Chicago Tribunes Senator" will be able to capture the huge Negro vote of Chicago and East St. Louis.
 Brooks is now claiming to be the great friend of the Negro. But he mere than any other Senator was responsible for the success of Sem ate fiiibusters against civil-rights measures.
 He blocked them by a quite simple procedure. As Chairman of the Senate Rules Commmittee, he failed to bring out resolution on cloture-to shut off filibusters. As early as April 3, 1947. majority of Brooks Rules Committee ap- proved an ti-filibuster rule.
 But the redoubtable Curley let the measure gather dust in his committee. For more than a year he would not and did not bring it out for open debate. AS q result when the Anti-Poll Tax Bill came up in July, 1948, it was promptly filibustered out Of the Senate.
 Two Republicans referred to this at the time-Vandenberg of Mich igan and Morse of Oregon. But Senator Brooks remained notion less. No he claims to be the great friend of the Negro.

OF Woman in Mexico
BY the Assoeioted Press

MEXICO CITY, June s.-The
American Embassy said yesterday
that it was inquiring about two
black eyes and ducking given
DeeJaen Jane Bacon of Washington.
She got this rough treatment in the
local Jail courtyard Friday.
The blond woman is being held
for extradition to answer a Wash
ington forgery charge.
She was allowed to remain in the
attorney generals Office until Friday
and then was sent to jail. Other
prisoners asserted she said disagree
able things about Mexico and Mexi-
cans. When the row was over Miss
Bacon climbed out of the courtyard
pool we'll bruised. When the En-
bassy heard of it, an official went to
see her and found both eyes black.
Miss Bacon offered to waive ex-
tradition and the Embassy expects
to send her to Washington under
guard the end of this week.
Meanwhile, the Embassy has asked
the Mexican Foreign Office to get a
report from the jail on how and why
Miss Bacon was beaten and ducked
in the pool.
