Recovery vs.. the KremIin

Although still far from normal, the
economy Of Western Germany-which en-
braces the Ruhr, the workshop" Of Eu-
rope-is recovering in way that must
disconcert and embarrass the Kremlin In
the Soviet zone, partly as result of our
counterblockade to Russia's blockade of
Berlin, production is down instead Of up,
the overall economic situation is poor,
and people-including apparently some
lower-echelon Communists-are openly
grumbling.
The Western German comeback has been
particularly noticeable in the Anglo-Amer-
lean zones ever since the currency reform
of last June. The new money means
something; it can be relied upon; it has
stimulated spirit of confidence and the
result is that extensive black marketing
has disappeared, farmers have stopped
boarding their produce, ever-mounting
quantities of manufactured consumer
goods are available in the cities, and the
food supply is better than it has been in
long time. Indeed, even in blockaded
Berlin, our airlift Is meeting the emer-
gency so we'll that the people of the West
ern sectors have Just been informed that
their daily ration will be raised to an
average of 1000 calories beginning No
vember /.
One of the most important examples of
the recovery is the comeback in Western
Germany's steel output. Some time ago,
100000 tons was decided upon as the
target for the year ending next June, but
"a al od1yo oh - %
6,50O,O00, as against 100000 in 1946 and
100000 in 1947. Further, the overall
picture has much more than economic
significance. Despite the Iron Curtain, the
Germans in the Russian zone cannot be
kept from knowing how the rest of their
country Is faring under French, British
and American occupation. Politically and
psychologically, the net effect of the situa-
ton Is to expose the Soviet regime in q
poor light-a fact that must be more than
a little annoying to the Kremlin.
Above all, the recovery in the Anglo
French American zones must be causing q
gnashing of teeth in Moscow for this rea-
son: That the greater the recovery, the
more telling will be the effects of the
Marshall Plan and the sooner will Western
Europe as a whole be able to get back on
its feet and maintain itself against direct
and indirect aggressions aimed at bringing
the entire continent under Soviet domi-
nance. In his just-published remarks to a
British delegation last month, General
Clay, our military governor in Germany,
enlarged upon this point by predicting
that II the West thus continues to 60 for
| ward, Russian expansion will not only be

halted, 1t will recede" In his judgment
even the satellite countries-impressed by
the growing economic and political health
of their neighbors outside the Iron Cur
tain-will press for freedom to do business
with those neighbors and to throw of the
shackles Of the Kremlin.
It is for this reason that General Clay,
like every one else who is intimately ac-
quainted with the situation, considers 1t
imperative for the Western Powers to dis
play patient flrmness toward the Soviet
Union. It may be, Of course, as some of
his own advisers suggest, that the Russians
may resort to such desperate measures as
sending in troops to take over the whole
OF Berlin But that Is bridge to be
crossed when and If we come to 1t. Mean
while, since 1t is of key Importance to the
free world, the recovery in the Anglo
French-American zones must be speeded
up as much as possible and integrated
with that of the Marshall Plan countries.
Short Of war, the Kremlin cannot take
direct action against that.

Case of the Vanishing Teacher

The discouraging report on the teacher
shortage given to the Commissioners by
Superintendent of Schools Corning is typ
ical of conditions confronting school au-
thorities all over the Nation. Dr. Corning
points out that teachers are quitting at
rate exceeding the supply of new ones
For example, during the past fiscal year
only 231 qualified permanent teachers were
available to take the places Of 236 who
resigned. This meant that some vacancies
had to be filled with temporary teachers,
some of whom lacked the training and ex-
perience ordinarily a prerequisite to en-
ployment.
Similar reports reaching the National
Education Association from many cities
and towns have prompted the organiza-
tion to launch Nationwide campaign to
scquaint parents in particular and tax
payers in general with the gravity OF the
problem. Many parents already are fully
aware of the situation and are deeply
concerned about it. They have observed
the effects of overcrowded classrooms and
inexperienced teachers on their own chill
dren. But too many citizens, the asso-
citation believes, are still unacquainted
with-or indifferent to-the seriousness Of
the education crisis, especially In the ele-
mentary schools.
School authorities say it is not only the
salary question that is a factor in the
dwindling supply of teachers in recent
years. General dissatisfaction with
working conditions" plays large part
m the decision of high school and college
graduates to seek employment in other
fields. While salaries have been raised in
most cities in the past year or two, they
still compare unfavorably with wages
available to former teachers in numerous
competitive jobs. And in these more lucra-
tive Jobs the employees do not have to
contend with such rigid standards for en-
ployment, with nerve-racking burdens
imposed by overfiowing classes and with
the uncertainties of public support Of their
efforts.
It is estimated that more than a million
additional teachers will be needed in the
elementary schools during the next ten
years. Yet teachers colleges are expected
to turn out only about one-fifth that num-
Der. It thus is evident why the NEA Com
mission on Teacher Education and Pro-
fessional Standards calls the situation
"critical" The alarming thing is that
there seems to be no hope Of material
Improvement until classroom crowding is
eliminated, salaries adjusted still further
to meet outside competition and other in
ducements offered young men and women
to enter the teaching profession. 1t will
take time and lot of money to bring
these improvements, especially the new
buildings required to reduce overcrowding
The sooner the public recognizes the ma
ture and the implications of the problem,
the sooner will the children of the country
receive the quality of education to which
they are entitled.

lhIder, j., Dissenting

The letter from John Ihlder which ap-
pears in an adjoining column sounds
exactly like man quarreling with Star
editorial. But Mr.. Ihlder in reality is
expressing his dissent from an otherwise
unanimous opinion by the United States
Court of Appeals for the District OF Colum-
bia holding that the National Capital
Housing Authority is subject to rent con-
troll, like any other local landlord.
The editorial in question paraphrased
accurately and, The Star believes, fairly, a
few points made in that opinion. These
are the points on which Mr.. Ihlder comes
down with both feet. One Of them was
the editorials mild observation Of surprise
that the NCHA could use its own Judgment
In raising rentals while every other landlord
in town must depend on the judgment Of
the Rent Commission. As paraphrasing
seems to irritate Mr.. Ihlder, by creating q
"false impression" this Is the exact Ian
guage used by the court:
1--WE cannot refrain from commenting
upon the curious spectacle of one agency
Of the Government, the National Capital
Housing Authority, asserting a right to
violate principle so insiStently and en-
phatically proclaimed by the. rest of the
Government as essential to the public
welfare. This Authority acts by and on
behalf of its principal, the United States,
and so must be treated as though it were
In fact the whole of the executive branch
Of the Government But strong evidence
would have to be presented to convince US
that it was within the intent of Congress
that while no other landlord could imperil
the economic status of tenants in the
District Of Columbia, nevertheless, the
United States, in its capacity as landlord
of defense housing, could raise its rents
by the unimpeded administrative deter
mination Of this lessee Authority"
There are other points in Mr.. Ihlder's
letter which invite further comment. But,
as he reminds us, space is limited.

The Unhappy Fat Mon

Now comes Dr. Herbert T. Kelly of Phila- -
delphia with the theory that fat people
are worried people. Against background
Of knowledge and experience of dietary
science, he declares his belief that indi-
viduals with expansive waistlines are suf-
fering from deep emotional stress "
anxiety, loss of love, insecurity" In other
words, he supports the once popular axiom:
Nobody loves fat man" person who
is unhappy in his heart, he says, stuffs
himself with groceries "as an escape"
And, of course, it is possible that Dr.
Kelly is correct in his diagnosis Shake
speare, 1t will be remembered, makes the
miserable Hamlet pray: "Oh, that this
too too solid flesh would melt" Certainly,
this suggests that the Prince Of Denmark
was overburdened with avoirdupois as well
as with family troubles. The Bard of Avon
must have been well-acquainted with
ponderous and rotund folk. He wrote of
them repeatedly and in several different
ways For example, in "The Comedy of
Errors" he has Dromio of Syracuse de-
scribe the kitchen wench as: "No longer
from head to foot than from hip to hip;
she is spherical like globe; I could find
out countries in her'-and she was un-
happy in love.
But Shakespeare did not disapprove of
the stout and portly In all instances. The
famous citation of julius Caesar is we'll
remembered: "Let me have men about me
that are fat; sleek-headed men and such
as sleep O. nights: Yond Cassius has a
lean and hungry look; he thinks too much:
such men are dangerous. Would he
were fatter!" Here, surely, is no hint of
the feshy being fat because they are dis
turbed of mind or spirit; just the contrary
In fact. The Bard agreed with Washington
Irving in the query: Who ever hears of
fat men heading riot. ..or herding together
in turbulent mobs2"
Yet one cannot forget Mr. Wardle's Joe
in "Pickwick Papers" Dickens tells how
he stopped eating long enough to say to
Mary: How nice you do look!" and goes
on to explain, more or less in line with DR..
Kellys theory, "this was said in an admir-
ing manner. and was so far gratifying;

Atom and World Government

Atom and World Government
To the Editor Of The Star:
P6cket-size radioactivity meters, we are told,
will soon be mass-produced to sell for only
$685. each. With one Of these useful new
gadgets in hand Junior will be able to know
whether 1t is safe to play ball within miles
or only miles Of his home town after 1t has
been laid waste by an atomic bomb. This is
assuming Of course, that there are any Juniors
left to play ball.
Somehow the mental picture Of Americans
cautiously picking their way amid atomic ruins
with one eye on their trusty mass-produced
$685. radioactivity detectors, Is not very
reassuring one. It serves only to emphasize
the stark fact that as the Once of Civilian
Defense Planning has pointed out, there is
little or nothing which can be done to pro-
tect people at the time Of atomic explosion
that protection can be given only against the
lingering hazards"
There u no real security for this country

or any country" concludes the Presidents Ad-
visory Committee on Universal Military Train
ing, unless war is abolished through the
establishment Of the reign Of law among
nations"
To establish such Q reign Of Law, 1t Is not
enough to join with other sovereign nations
in world alliance, such as the old League Of
Nations or the present United Nations. Help
full though the United Nations Is, its actual
power is less than that Of the humblest county
government in the United States. It has no
power to enact any laws, no power to raise
revenue to pay its employees. There are no
fields In which its courts have compulsory
Jurisdiction It has no sheriff, no marshals,
nor any other armed officers Of its own with
which to enforce its decisions. Immediate re-
vision Of the United Nations Charter to remedy
these defects Is the most urgent need Of our
time.
But what II Russia blocks the needed
amendments to the United Nations Charter?
If she does, let the other nations of the world
form their world government without her. BY
doing so they would be giving the best possible
proof to the Krenlin that they intend to
stand together unflinchingly to resist any fur
ther imperialistic expansion on the part of
the Soviets. Faced with the certainty of
effective resistance. the practical Russians
would be far less likely to attempt aggression
With or without Russia, world government
must come-and speedily. Only then will
pocket radioactivity detectors become amusing
toys instead of reminders of terrifying pos
sibility. DAVID McCA1MONT.
German Tools Really French7
To the Editor Of The Star:
In his letter Of October IL to The Star,
Charles M. Mayer deplores the movement of
German machine tools to rusty France.
May state that in Nevers, q French town
located $50 miles west Of the German border.
there was an important factory equipped for
the restoration Of railroad engines. During
the years of German occupation most of the
factory equipment went to Germany along with
French cars. bicycles, cattle. household pots,
pans and linens.
Sending parts Of dismantled German fac
tories to France could mean restoring to the
French people what originally belonged to
them. perhaps. L. J. JOHNSON.
