MARSHALL ANSWERS COP

shAN0 w h~AN' -
 Secretary of State Marshall has been heckled by all sorts of peo- pie, but one of his worst verbal machine -gunnings came at a pri- vate dinner given him by Repub- Iican Congressmen.
 At one point the ss-question- .ng became so tough that in re- ply to a query by Rep. Wint Smith of Kansas: DO we have any intelligence on Iceland?" Mar shall shot back:
 T don't know, and if did l couldn't tell you. There are cer- tain types of information that shouldn't be told even to Congress- men
 The first half of Marshalls re- marks were not particularly in- formative and Wat Arnold of Mis- souri stalked out in disgust. Later, however, Marshall spoke more bluntly.
 nis chief warning was that the LISA must halt the Red advances that America cannot afford to let Russia take over any more coun- tries.
 Does iAat mean war?" someone asked.
 That is something the Presi- dent would have to stay" was Marshall's grave reply.
 Marshall explained that he did not expect Russia to commit any act of war, but feared incidents around the iron rim might lead to war. The Soviets don't want war, he pointed out, because they can get things cheaper the way they have been getting them" It is American policy to put things in. and Russian policy to take things out of occupied countries, he explained
 Tt costs us money to take over country, but Russia actually makes money" he added ruefully The Secretary of State warned that the results of the crucial Ital- ian elections might not give true picture of Communist infiltration into the government. For instance, the Communists, as a result of the Catholic Churchs vigorous anti Communist campaign, have cun- ningly juggled names and entered candidates under the Socialist and other banners.

WoLF-WOLF? !?

John Phillips of California broke in with a point-blank question: Why are we so interested stop ping communism in Europe and not in China?"
 This appeared to catch Marshall off-halance, and he gave a wordy review of the entire Chinese prob lem, leaving the question unans- Wered.
 Questioned about the draft by New Yorks Bernard Pat" Kedr- ney, Marshall replied that the draft is an immediate necessity and universal military training a lugig-range necessity. ~
 Isn't all this war hysteria just another .wolf-wolf' story to put across the Administrations pro-

would be difficult for the Russians to intercept. Some undoubtedly would get through.
 Therefore. Soviet strategy is be- lieved to be to take in as much territory as possible right now in order to wipe out potential bomb CT bases. That's why the Soviet squeeze play has been quietly put on Norway and Denmark; also why Russia is reported to have in mind reaching out even to Ice land.
 If Russia can bite off Italy, squeeze US out of Greece and Ara bia. then the only air bases they would have to worry about are Japan and Alaska. And they could mass enough interceptor planes in Siberia opposite those two bases to make ii suicidal for any bomber to try b get through.
 This is what's behind tine cur rently reported Russian stretch for territory It's also what's be- hind the frenzied Washington war talks. Air bases today are the most prized of all national pos sessions. Strange thing about MT. Truman's message to Congress, however, is that he didn't mention air power
 Note-If Russia had accepted the U s. offer to share atomic energy on condition all countries accept international inspection, the pres ent war-maneuvering might not have occurred. Russias veto of the most generous international off CTS ever made was the tip-off on Russia's future war policy.

Veteran S News

The physically disabled, when
properly placed, make slightly
better workers than the able
bodied, a study prepared by the
Y. 5. Bureau of Labor Statistics
for the Veterans Administration
reveals.
The study matched the work
performance of some 1000 i'm
paired and $4,000 unimpaired en-
ployees in all major industries.
The survey discloses the follow
ing:
/. Handicapped workers suffer-
ed fewer serious accidents than
the able-bodied
2. The disabled experienced
the same number of minor in
juries as their able-bodied fellow
workers.
3. Production records of the
impaired were higher than re-
cords of the unimpaired.
4. The disabled were absent
from work more frequently than
the able-bodied.
5. The voluntary quit rate of
the handicapped was higher than

According to the study, i'm
paired workers experienced 80
serious disabling accidents per
100000 man-hours worked, COM
pared with 9.5 accidents for the
able bodied.
Veterans assigned &C" (claims)
numbers by Veterans Administra-
ton are urged to memorize them,
so they can use the numbers
readily when they write or call
VA about their benefits.
Use of &C" numbers speeds up
service to veterans, VA said.
A number is issued to each
veteran applying for compensa-
ton, pension, schooling, on-the-
job training or other VA-ad-
ministered benefits The number,
appearing on his case folder, will
identify him in VA records the
rest of his life, and may be used
by dependents after his death.
With some 24,000,000 veterans
names in VAS files, &C" numbers
often are the final means by
which VA can distinguish one
veteran from another.
