FAILURE:
No Peace

1t was difficult to say who would
suffer more from the Arabs rejec-
ton of U. N. truce plea for Pales-
tine - the Arabs themselves, the
Jews or the United Nations.
Probably the Jews came off to
better advantage in the world coun-
ellis of public opinion, inasmuch as
through their willingness to accept
a truce they now can appear in the
role Of a nation which has been
wronged and is forced to fight a
war that has been thrust willy nilly
upon it.
The Arabs simply brushed aside
the idea of a truce with the con-
tention that they could not halt the
shooting war until the state of Israel
is abandoned and the Jewish army
demobilized. There v was any
question in the minds of Arab lead
ers about the truce. 1t was literal
ly unacceptable to them. Their
position was stated definitively by
the Egyptian premier, Mahmoud
FANNY Nokrashy Pasha, who said:
"There never will be founded a
state called Israel, or any other
name, as long as the creation of
that state relies upon the theft OF
Arab land, the determination of its
Arab owners and the sacrifice of
moral principles of its Arab neigh
bors."
Nevertheless, the Arab refusal
was a bitter blow to the U. N.
security council. 1t had been or
ganized for the express purpose of
resolving just such disputes as this
one in Palestine, yet it could do
nothing more than make a weak
gesture of placation.
There was little doubt that the Sc
curity council had been rendered
toothless and ,impotent on the Pal
estine issue by the U. S. attitude, or
rather lack of attitude, toward the
whole thing.
What position the United States
would take as an Individual nation
with regard to the Palestine wal
was not clear either.
At a conference with Chain
Waizmann, Israel's president, Pres
ident Truman promised that the
u. S. would provide financial sup
port for Israel in the form of a
loan of about 100 million dollars.
Further, he limited at the possibility
4Lo+ ,,o1aee the Arch ctatac rPaSp
fire the U. S. might provide arms
for the Jews.
Day after the conference, how
ever, Mr.. Truman dismissed Weiz-
mann's plea for a loan as some
thing that could be handled by the
export-import bank, and he COM
ducked the issue of raising
the embargo on arms shipments to
the Middle East.

PAY HIKE:
NeU Formula

When General Motors corporation
averted a threatened strike Of 225,-
600 auto production workers by Of
fering an 11-cent raise based on q
cost-of-living formula it probably
set a precedent which will be fol-
lowed in settling other industrial
labor disputes.
Under the agreement, described
as an "entirely new approach to
the living cost problem" GIN pro-
duction workers get an Scent cost
of-living increase and a Scent pay
boost based on annual industrial
efficiency improvement.
Terms provide that wages be adj
justed UP or down each three
months to conform with fluctua-
tions in the consumer price index
of the bureau of labor statistics.
1t appeared to be a sound plan
and one that might be followed to
good advantage by other industries.
Biggest flaw in the scheme was the
fact that General Motors might
have to pass the cost-of-living raise
on to the public, which step might
have the eventual effect of nullify-
ing the benefits of the raise to the
workers.
Significance of this adjustable
cost-of-living wage formula can be
seen in a review of the rise in
prices since 1910. The cost of liv-
ing today is SO per cent higher than
in 1910. Using 1910 as a base year
which is what GIN and the United
Auto Workers did in arriving at
their agreement-living costs now
are at 1859 per cent.
Biggest jump in the steadily ris-
ing price pattern came after OPA
collapsed in the summer of 1916.

VOICE:
BeLittLing

Voice of America broadcasts,
which have never received a full
measure of congressional approval,
sank to an even lower level of
disesteem because of a series OF
ill-starred programs beamed to
Latin America last winter.
The scripts in question, denounced
by senators as sabotage, SANDER
and libel of the U. S., first attracted
attention in March during house
appropriation committee hearings
on the Voice of America. In the
sample script that the committee
wanted to look over were some i'll
chosen remarks about Wyoming.
Stout-hearted Wyoming congress
men shrieked in anguish. Other
scripts were examined, and Sen.
Homer Capehart (Rep., Ind.) fin
ally aired the whole thing before
the senate.
The legislators shuddered as they
heard C~apehart read from the
scripts such excerpts as:
New England was founded by
hypocrisy and Texas by SIM"
"Nevada's two main cities COM
pete with each other because peo-
Pile get married in Las Vegas and
divorced in Reno"
The programs were handled by
the National Broadcasting company
under contract with the state
department. Rene Borgia, the man
who wrote the scripts, was fired,
and Alberto Gandero, Borgia's SUI
~pervisor, resigned.

Mice, Men and Polio

For the first time in history, according
to an announcement by Columbia Uni
versity, scientists apparently nave sue
ceeded in "halting" poliomyelltls virus
in mice They have done so with ne"
sulfa drug called phenosulfazole. In terms
of human beings, the development may
nrove to be meaningless But what makes
it a matter of top significance is that IL
holds out at least the hope than man may
now be on the way to ridding himself OF
some of his worst viral diseases 1ncludlng
not only polio but the common cold, lnflu-
enza and encephaltis as well.
AS reported by DR.. Murray Sanders OF
Columba-one of the key figures In the
story-the drug has had the following
effects on mice infected with killing doses
of a strain of polio: First, it has cured
those in the early stages of the disease;
second, it has immunized survivors against
reinfection; and third, single oral dose
has prevented infection. These results are
of particular Importance because never
before has virus of any type-polio or
other-been checked by man-made
chemical This suggests that science, just
as In the case of former scourges like small
pox, may yet be able to conquer infanthe
paralysis and a number of other dread
viral affections in humans
With a scientists proper anxiety, how
ever, DR.. Sanders has taken special pains
to emphasize that the new sulfa drug,
whatever it's effects on mice, may turn out
to be useless for men. Earlier this summer
there were reports to the effect that II
was remarkably effective when admin
istered to a number of human polio
sufferers But DR.. Sanders has now made
clear that the reports were premature, ur1-
justified and "cruel" to the extent that
they may have raised false hopes among
victims of the disease. According to him.
the drug has been used on only relative
handful of people, and a great deal of
analyzing remains to be done before the
results can be evaluated as either good, bad
or Indifferent.
Nevertheless, even though DR.. Sanders
has warned that the real job lies ahead"
and that the answer is too uncertain for
optimistic forecasts, the mere fact that
a drug has been found to halt polio In
mice Is undeniably promising-more so
than any event of its kind in long time.
A mouse, of course is not the same as a
man, and medicine that is good for the
one may be no good for the other. Yet
when disease is checked in animals there
is reason to hope that diligent research
and experiment can lead to the eventual
conquest of the same disease in humans
That is why the news about phenosulfazole
Is so significant and encouraging.

quently were surprised to discover him on
their side-a temporary ally. Commonly he
was libertarian-"one who upholds the
principles of liberty, especially individual
liberty of thought and action'-rather
than merely liberal. He wanted it under
stood that he was not MARKHAM. His dis
trust of imperialism drove him into an
isolationist position, and his last book was
tract blaming Franklin D. Roosevelt
personally for World War II.
But it will not be for his opinions that
DR.. Beard will be remembered. The durable
value of his labor lies in his researches
and in the analysis to which he subjected
the facts he unearthed. His skill as a
commentator was provocative. He drove
his readers into thinking for themselves.
Much of the credit of his achievement-as
he repeatedly testified-traced back to the
devoted and efficient partnership of his
wife, the former Mary Ritter. They were
team comparable in their way with the
Brownings and the Webbs But they &C

Pasture Spring

High on the hillsides where fragrant
redtop grasses cure in the hot sun and
patches of prickly- needed jumpers help
hold thin soil in place, underground veins
of water seek the surface. The clear cold
water Of pasture springs makes an appeal
ing spot on the highlands. Farmers dig
out an area so the cattle will have place
to drink But there Is much more to a
pasture spring than a utilitarian function.
Often there Is q gaunt gnarled beech or
stately patriarch of a sugar maple shading
the spot where water beils from the sand.
There Is the pink and white beauty of
trailing wild roses spreading over the
rocks above. Clumps of purple spired
hardhack crowd close and the heathery
plants are appealing motifs against the
deep green of cinnamon ferns.
In the glistening churned mud below
the spring one can see the tracks of deer
that came to drink at dawn. There are
the daintily etched footprints of coon and
occasionally the print of red fox. In
early morning and late afternoon, vireos,
warblers and thrushes come to bathe in
the pool and once in a while a mother
partridge leads her brood of chicks across
the moist ground. If the spring is fairly
sizable there are usually few frogs and
perhaps turtle or two. boy and his
dog, hunting the cows on a summer day
when black flies were pestiferous, planned
to stop for a few minutes at the place
where water bubbled from the mysterious
darkness of earth. A pasture spring is
part of the memory of many men who
look from office windows at walls of stone
and brick.

Socialist HoIdup in France

Responsibility for the current parlia-
mentary deadlock in France rests wholly
with the Socialist Party. 1t is the Social
lists who block the formation of a new
cabinet, just as it is they who precipitated
the collapse of the two previous ones.
Whether they are the villains in the piece
or its victims depends on the point of view.
The Socialist Party is in an extremely
tough spot. 1t is in ardent competition
with the Communists for the allegiance of
the French working classes. The deadly
cycle of imitation now gripping France hits
the workers hard. But this cycle can be
checked only by drastic financial meas
ures which will temporarily hit the workers
still harder no matter what the ultimate
benefits. The Communists cynically ad-
vocate special consideration for the work
ers in the form of higher wages and other
compensations which would render i'm
possible those financial reforms that could
alone check imitation. These reforms have
been advocated by the two preceding
cabinets and were fully indorsed by former
Premier Schuman, who has just been
obliged to abandon his attempt to organize
a new cabinet. No cabinet can command
parliamentary majority pledged to carry
out the reforms without the adhesion of
the Socialists. But the Socialists fear that,
by joining a government of the sort that
had been proposed by Schuman, they will
forfeit the allegiance OF the workers and
leave the door wide open for Communist
propaganda. So they hesitate to commit
themselves on this explosive issue.
Such is the vicious circle which is rem
dering unworkable government by the
three middle Of -the-road parties, the So
cialists, Liberals and Popular Republicans.
Collectively, they form the indispensable
third force" which wards off impending
peril from the two extremisms of Com
munism and De Gaulle. Twice in the past
eight months the third force has pitiably
failed. France is again without govern
ment at crucial moment in It's domestic
and foreign affairs This is a situation
which has become literally intolerable. 1t
cannot 60 on.
Unless a stable cabinet can speedily be
formed by the moderate triumvirate, the
pressure of public opinion will become
irresistible for dissolution Of the present
Parliament and new elections. Disguised
with this political merry-g go-round, the
voters are more than likely to plump for
De Gaulle and his Rally of the French
People, who demand a new constitution
with strong executive capable of impos-
ing workable solutions upon the parla-
mentary politicians and their little games
Such government would precipitate a
struggle between the extremists of right
and left which would split France wide
open and might eventuate in civil war
Yet strong government is better than
none. 1t is that alternative which the
deepening parliamentary crisis evokes.

Role of Career Workers

Arthur S Flemmlng, who is leaving the
Civil Service Commission to become presi-
dent of Ohio Wesleyan University, has
issued timely warning on the Importance
OF divorcing the Governments career
workers from political issues.
The function of the career civil servant,
he told the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees, is faithfully to admin
lister every policy that the elected repre-
sentatives of the people desire to put into
effect regardless of whether he agrees with
the policy If the career worker cannot
bring himself to do this, Mr.. Flemming said,
he should resign
AS model, he pointed to the British
career service which has had no difficulty
In surviving the transition from a Con-
servative to Labor government, and he
submitted this quotation from Britain's
handbook for its new civil servants: "You
may be inclined to feel that the
civil servant who can do this must be
pretty spinelesS creature. But this is the
tradition of service which has been &C
cepted for many years by great body OF
civil servants many of whom have been
highly intelligent and able, and not at all
spineless They have accepted it because
they have believed that parliamentary
democracy is the right form of govern
ment for this country (and) because they
care more for public service in accordance
with the wishes Of the majority than for
any particular fixed policy
This doctrine is just as applicable to
our own career service and its acceptance
Is Just as important. If this November'S
election should produce change in ad-
ministration and retain a Republican
Congress, it is quite likely that the career
workers in the Government will be called
upon to administer policies that are new
to them and which will be distasteful to
many If those now in the career service
cannot or will not administer them prop
erly there will be danger, as Mr.. Flemming
warned of large turnover in jobs filled
by career workers, with results disastrous
In terms of an efficient and expeditions
handling of the public business.
In this connection, Mr.. Flemming eau
toned against the practice, all too preva-
lent in some departments and agencies, of
sending career employees before congress
sional committees to defend particular
policies This is the function of the polit-
ical head of the department or agency and
he ought to familiariZe himself with the
details so that he can be the spokesman on
policy matters. To require this of a career

Dr.. Charles A. Beurd

Had he never written line, Dr. Charles
A. Beard still would have been one of the
important Americans of his generation.
From his early youth up to the end of his
long career he was possessed of great
natural power for influencing people Often
he irritated them, occasionally he made
them angry. But he rarely bored them.
The vitality of his mind was force which
almost everybody recognized and appre-
cjated A born teacher in and out of the
class room, he found willing pupils wher-
ever he went-even among those who dis
agreed with his views
Dr. Beard himself was contradictory.
His attitudes changed with the years, and
his philosophic skepticism increased The
doctrinaire radicals never could catalog
