To the Editor Of The Star:
Reading the letter by j. j. Sperry made m
more than furious OF course, it Is possible
that some of those people cremated in the
concentration camps died from disease. But
what caused the disease? Nothing but the
"wonderful' treatment the Germans gave
them, starvation, sleeping up to four in a
bed without covers, even during the winters,
and sometimes having to sleep with sick people.
On the top Of this they had to work hard,
they were tortured. Words cannot describe
what they went through.
Does Mr.. Sper1y believe that those people.
still alive, who were diseased directly because
of the horrible treatment they received at the
hands of the Nazis should have been cremated
because they were diseased persons? Would
Mr. Sperry have the United States Govern
ment clean out our hospitals of diseased persons
by the simple expedient of cremating the in
mates?
OF course I am prejudiced. I am prejudiced
against anything that is rotten and unnatural
which think is much more commendable
than an unprejudiced and utterly foolish sense
of fairness.
To establish that know whereof I speak,
I wish to state that was under German

More on Buchenwald

To ths Editor of The Star:
usually do not take time for such cor
respondence. However, a letter appearing in
your editorial page on October II bothered me
80 that had to take this means to relieve my
feelings.
The letter I speak Of is signed ]. j. Sperry
and its contents were arguments justifying the
barbarism of Buchenwald. How your staff
could let such communication be printed is
inconceivable. The Star is quite aware OF
what happened at Buchenwald. There is no
controversy on this point Besides the tragi
films, we have unbiased witnesses to VERT
beyond question the miserable tragedies.

State Dept. Not To Run Foreign Aid

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senators Vandenberg and Taft appear to- day to be nearing agreement on a plan to run the European recovery program outside the state depart ment with the President umpiring foreign policy decisions.
 Taft, head of the Senate Repub- lican policy committee, told a re- porter he is favorably impressed by a series of suggestions chair man Vandenberg has made to the Senate foreign relations commit tee.
 In questioning a witness yester day, Vandenberg asked about the possibility of having a separate Marshall plan administrator who would sit with a committee con sisting of the secretaries of state, treasury, commerce, agriculture and defense on all matters of pol icy.
 If this group disagreed, the Senator said, the Presi- dent would become the ultimate But Vandenberg said the administrator must have "a very large area of independent deci- sion" in actual operation of the European aid program.

Approves Bevin's Proposal

LONDON, lP)-Foreign secre- tary Ernest Bevin's proposal for a consolidation of western Euro pean countries to stem communist expansion found quick and warm support today in the French and Italian governments.
 Leaders in Belgium Holland and Luxembourg, spoke cautious ly but favorably of the British diplomatic move. Comment in Scandinavian newspapers pointed up the reluctance of Russian neighbors to commit themselves to an outright cleavage between the east and west

Western Europe Must Unite Against Communism

LONDON, (P)-Winston Chur- chill declared today Western Eu- rope must unite quickly and de- mand a showdown with Moscow before the Russians develop atom ic weapons, possibly in year or so. Even an early showdown would not guarantee that war would not come," Churchill said.
 'I believe it would give the best chance of preventing it and, if it came, we would have the best chance of coming out of it alive.
 "I believe the best chance Of preventing war is to bring mat ters to a head and come to a set clement with the Soviet govern ment before it is too late" Cnur- chill told the House of Commons.
 You may be sure the present situation cannot last. Thece are very grave dangers in letting ev- ery'hlng run on and pile up un.il something happens, and the mat tre passes all of a sudden out of your control"
 The conservative party leader endorsed the labor government 5 proposal for unification Of West ern Europe as a barrier to the spread of Communism. But he ap. pealed to his political opponents to rise above party in fostering the plan:
 ''In trying to make a united so- cialist Europe, you are on the same level as trying to make a united communist Europe"

Eisenhower Will Not Accept
 Nomination

WASHINGTON, (P)-The army chief of staff flatly stated today, in a reference to his being entered in the New Hampshire Presiden- tial primary March g, "I an not available for and could not accept nomination to high political of flee"
 like" wrote Leonard V. Finder, publisher of the Manchester Union-Leader, that for two req sons he had heretofore "refrained
 from making the bald statement that I would not accept nomina- tion."
 The first, Eisenhower said, was that such an expression would smack of effrontery.
 A second and deeper reason, the general added, was a persistent doubt that I could phrase ! flat refusal without appearing to vic- late the concept of duty to country which calls upon every gOo1 citi- zen to place no limitations upon his readiness to serve in any oes- ignated capacity"
 In this connection, Eisenhower said it is his conviction that "un- less an individual feels some in ner compulsion and special quali- fications to enter the political arena-Which I do not-a refusal to do so involves no violation of the highest standards of devotion to duty"
 "It would seem almost super fluous for me to add that as long as I live I shall hold myself in in- stant readiness to respont 70 any call by the government to military duty"

Third World War Is Inevitable Says Bevin

LONDON, (P) - Foreign secre- tary Bevin said yesterday that Soviet Russia is making a ruthless drive to dominate Europe, and that this will lead inevitably to another world war.
 "We are driven to that conclu- sion," Bevin told the House of Commons.
 'The Marshall program has brought to light vividly what must have been under the surface all the time"
 Evolution of the Yalta deci- sions, Bevin told the House of Commons, reveals a policy on the on the part of the Soviet Union to use any means in their power to get Communist control on eastern Europe and, as it now appears, in the west as we'll"
 "We have seen the game played out in Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and more recently in Romania and, from information in our pos session, other attempts may be made elsewhere" he said.
 "Yet all the evidence is that she is not satisfied with this tre- mendous expasion.
 'It has been quite clear, I think, that the Communist pro- cess goes ruthlessly on in each country. It therefore matters lit tie how we temporize and maybe appease, and try to make arrange ments."

Russia Tried To
 Sell Out To Hitler

VA SHIN TON, (P) - The United States uncorked a major propaganda blow against Russia today by officially revealing a Soviet offer in l940 to join the German-Italian-JapaneSe axis at a price Adolf Hitler refused to pay
 Already the governments infor- nation mouthpiece to the world, the "Voice of America" short wave radio, is pouring into Russia and the rest of Europe the factual story told in fat volume of long secret German foreign office rec ords suddenly published by the state department.
 The books 362 pages disclose the minutest details of the two- year MoscoW-Berlin honeymoon which began when the men who now rule Russia negotiated non- aggression pact with Hitler and which ended with Hitler's treach- erous attack on the Soviet Union June P, 1941.
 It gives the Word-by-Word deals which led to the 1889 friendship treaty as we'll as the texts of the then top secret additions under which Germany and the Soviet Union carved Poland and north eastern Europe into spheres of in fluence or outright control.

CHESTER Pa, (P)-Fire swept through the block-long garage and offices of the Southern Pennsyl- vania Bus Co.,, yesterday wreck ing 33 buses and causing a loss of $75O,OOO.
 The blaze was confined to the building but the danger from 20 separate explosions was considered so great that police ordered more than 5000 persons from homes in the midcity area.
 P. T. Reilly, vice president and general manager of the company who made the estimate of damage, said the fire apparently started when a bus being filled with gaso- line burst into flames after an ex- plosion.

Truman Has Less, Chance Than
 Snowfall In HelI''
tBY Jack Bell & Norman WalkerI


 WASHINGTON, (P)-The CIO split wide open, but only political ly, today over Henry Wallace's third party bid for the Presidency. The executive board of the la bor organization which gave solid support to help elect the late President Roosevelt to a fourth term in 1944 voted B to II to re- ject Wallace's entry into the 1948 campaign as "politically unwise" And the dissident group-repre- senting about 1,25O of the organi- zation's claimed 6,OO0,O00 mem bership-gave every indication of plugging for Wallace anyway.
 Harry Bridges president of the n t n ational longshoremen'S union and leader of the so-called left-wing element which opposed the anti-Wallace resolution, told reporters the Democrats won't stand "the chance of a snowball in Hell" of electing President Truman.

No New Anti-Infla- ton Bills Until Old Are Followed
(By Marvin L. Arrowsmith)

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Taft R.-Ohio) indicated today he may insist that President Truman meet the terms of the Republican cost-of-living law before Congress acts on any more anti-inflation legislation.
 The Ohio Senator, chairman of the Senate's COP policy commit tee, noted that the measure which he steered through the special ses- sion of Congress last month lays down a step-by-step pattern for the administration to follow in presenting any new control pro- posals.
 Taft told reporter he is "in- clined to believe" the President should be required to observe the procedure outlined, rather than to expect any final action on the standby wage-price control and rationing bills now being consid- cred by the Senate banking com mittee.
 The law Taft mentioned is the one MT. Truman in signing termed "pitifully inadequate" to deal with imitation. It provides for in- dustry-wide voluntary agreements designed to hold down prices by dividing up scarce commodities.

Bavarian Labor Goes On Strike For More Food

MUNICH, Germany, (P - The Bavarian trade union federation called yesterday for 24-hour walkout of virtually all workers in Bavaria to begin at midnight last night.
 The strike, protesting food shortages, could affect nearly one million workers in this American zone state.
 About 100000 workers staked a 24-hour strike Wednesday in Nuremberg and Cologne. It was the largest walkout in western Germany since last April.
 The strike call affected such large cities as Munich, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Regensburg, Wuerz- burg and Coburg.
 Trade union leaders arranged a broadcast to all union members throughout Bavaria, appealing for a strike between midnight Thurs day and Midnight Friday.
 WASHINGTON, (P)-Gen. Lu- cius D. Clay, American military governor of Germany, predicted yesterday an early improvement in the food supply situation which has touched off protest strikes in the British and American occupa- ton zones.
 To meet the crisis, he said, both the military government and the German administration, "are talk ing vigorous measures" He also told reporters it would help if the United Stateszwould ship more food to the occupied areas.

SPOILfNG THE GOOD YOU DO
By REV. JOHN McGINN

q. Here is thought: Why do so
many good people spoil SO much
of the good they do? The unbe-
levers and the wicked make
!. this charge often enough-and
not without justification. Christ
Himself, the Son of God, devotes
a large portion of one of his best
remembered parallels to the sub
ject. The story of the Prodical
Son tells not only of a magnani-
NOUS father and a penitent son,
but also of an elder brother
whose goodness did not go far
enough.
No doubt many of the family's
neighbors aften referred to him
as a ''good" boy, and they per-
haps praised him fer possessing
all the qualities the Prodigal
lacked. He was steady, he work
ed hard and had a strong sense
of responsibility. The allure
ments Of the world seemed to Of
fer him no difficulties, he caused
his father no heartaches, and he
doubtless was a comfort and
source of pride to his dad. Yet
we certainly think more kindly
of the Prodigal and may suspect
that. in any final accounting of
vices and virtues, the latter does
not suffer by comparison despite
his many indefensible actions.
The older brother was good
but not quite good enough. What
virtues ne had were in-deep,
and broke down at the first real
test.
The shoddy quality of his relig-
ious spirit was revealed when
the opportunity of practicing for
giveness arose. The father long
ed for his sons return, discesned
his slow approach while he was
yet afar off, and rushed forth to
meet and welcome him. But the
elder brother was stern, pitiless
and self-righteous. Like too many
good people, he had little frater-
nal charity, no faith in the posi-
bility of the Prodigal's reform
alton. and his unforgiving spirit

is one of the most desplcable
qualities ever described by
Christ. Had his virtue been gen
uine, he might often have re-
flected on the thought: there
you go but for the grace of God
Some good people dull the lus-
ter of their virtue by hesitant,
reluctant, grudging charity. Even
when they perform some good
act either by generosity of by
forgiveness, they manage to take
much of the good out of it. 1t
was something like this that
Thackery had in mind when he
said of Dean Swift, "he insulted
while he served you" Charity
and goodness, is kind. 1t does not
stand on ceremony, nor does it
require people to remain hat in
hand at some back door before it
is moved to action. There is a
graciousness and a Difference in
true virtue, and swift gener-
osity spurred by an understand
ing heart.
