Anniversary in Prague
CNew York Times)

(New York Times)
 Six hundred years ago Charles ", King Of Bohemia founded a university at Prague In his own quaint fashion he hoped his loyal subjects, "inces sanity hungering after the fruits of learning might find set out in our realm table of refreshments" At the anniverary celebration recently some hollow words were spoken on truth and freedom They caused the Moscow delegation no embarrassment. More eloquent was a cloth gag tied over the mouth of the statue of John Illus, the university's most famous rector
 Yet Charles University has been citadel of free dom for long time. In years to come the truth Will prevail there if anywhere. Its students have died by the hundreds proclaim it. Their children will rise to revive it. But it does not exist today. A Com nunist purge the faculty still goes on Part of the days program the installation of student board of directors approved by Communist action com mittee to replace an nt-Communst slate overwhelm- ingly elected only few months ago. Beyond the college walls the Communists continued to hunt down their outawed opponents in every corner of the lano
 Attendance from the satellite states was he'vv. There were no representatives from Britain Switzer land or Holland. Most American university delega- tons withdrew and honorary degrees went begging The ancient charter of the university destroyed du- ing the Nazi occupation, has been restored and de- nosited in the archives With cynical assurance the authorities describe this "a new grant of freedom So the darkness descerds.

Loan Drive
Washington Post

(WaSll1lSlOn
 A campaign to step up buying of Government savings bonds has been launched. Broadcasting an appeal to the public to support this drive President rr,,man has pointed out that investment ln these bonds serves twofold purpose: it helps the 1lght apainst imitation and it builds up economic security for bond purchasers.
 There especial need at this time to enlist pubic support for the bond-buying campaign because the Treasury will be unable to fight imitation by using budgeary surpluses to retire bank-hed pubic debt Owing to a combination of foreign aid increased military expenditures and tax reduction little or no net debt retirement is expected during the coming fiscal year On the contrary, the Treasury may be forced to borrow to cover deficits However to the extent that the public responds to the appeal to buy bonds with their savings, the Treasury will be sup piled with funds that can be used to retire Govern ment securities held by banks-an anti-infationary operation At the time the money invested in savings bonds wthdraws money from current use and thus helps to hold down prices of consumer goods
 The annual income of the American people has been increased by several billion dollars because of tax reduction. By investing that money instead or spending it. they will be assisting Government efforts to prevent further declines in the purchasing power of the dollars they and the dollars they save Sef-interes therefore reinforces the official appeal to buy more savings bonds.

 There were public celebrations in the Umteo States and n statements forthcoming on the eve of the anniversary.
 The official end of the in Europe came when the German military leaders signed act of sur render in Berlin May 8, ls45 called WE Victory- n-Europe) Way.
 They had signed statement of unconditional surrender the day before in Rheims, France

THE LOBBYIST ARMY

Like a well-organized army, the oil lobby operates through front line commander shock troops com manders, plus psychological warfare agents, financial packers, and camp followers.
 Front-line commander is Sena- ator Ed Moore, Oklahoma Repub- lican who made millions out of oil, is about to retire from the Senate, doesn't care what the voters think of him, and has introduced bill 1888 turning the continental oil shelf of the United States back to the states-chiefly to California and Texas. Senator Moore was able to afford a $25,Oo0 contribu- ton to Senator Pappy ODaniels radio fund in 1914
 Shock troop commander is Walt CT Johnson, Attorney General of Ne braska, who draws salary of $500 a month from the oil lobby and spends part of his time in Washington directing it's legislative battle. despite the fact that he is supposed to be attending to the law business of Nebraska.
 Just why Nebraska, locked state, with no oil lands remotely near the sea. should be so interest ed in the tidelands-oil bill, is diffi- cult for the average person to un- derstand The reasons and rami- fications will become evident later
 Deputy shock troop commander is William w. Clary, Assistant At torney General of California. AL though working for the state of California and paid $6,500 a year by the taxpayers of that state Clary also works for the law firm of O'Malvoney and Myers which in turn represents B oil and util- ity companies, most of which will profit from tidelands oil.

bonanza of $270,000 in attorneys fees was dropped into the lap of MT. Clary and his associates by various clients last year, and MT. Clary even explains that he pays his salary as state official into his law firms kitty, splitting it with his partners.
 How these state officials can get away with working for their state governments and for the oil companies at one and the same time is not only interesting, but indicates why the. oil companies are so anxious for state control of tidelands oil. State officials will be so nice and easy to get along with.
 JAILED AS GERMAN AGENT
 Psychological warfare agent is Dr. Edward A. Rumely, once jailed for concealing his operations for Germany during World War I, lat CT pardoned, ana now amaZlngly and sanctimoniously successful at enticing all sorts of people to put money into the tidelands-oil fight.
 Rumely employs a staff of 50 people to shovel cut propaganda to the American public, and has neat game whereby big business men can buy up his literature for so-called educational" purposes and send it to schools and col leges This makes it deductible from income taxes.
 l Rumely has done skillful job of deluging an unsuspecting public with propaganda, especially doc tors and lawyers, and many people have fallen for it.
