British Remove
 Tax On U. s. Films

LONDON (P)-The government announced yesterday an agree ment with American film produc- CTS to end a tax dispute which brought a Hollywood ban on ship ment of films to Britain.
 Harold Wilson, president of the board of trade, said that the con troversial 75 per cent duty on earnings of imported films would be withdrawn as quickly as the necessary order could be made"
 The normal export of American films to this country will resume as soon as possible" he told the House of Commons.
 Earlier, both British and Ameri- can officials said the agreement is subject to ratification by United States film executives in Holly wood.

The Republican Ticket

In selecting Governor Warren of Cali
fornia to run with Thomas e. Dewey, the
Republicans have named ticket that is
going to be hard to beat
1t is ideal from the geographical stand
point, which, politically speaking, is an
important factor. AS Governors of New
York and California, and as proven vote
eetters in these largest States of the East
and the West, they promise to bring into
the Republican column seventy-two elec-
toral votes from their own bailiwickS. That
Is more than the entire COP electoral vote
in 1882 and in 1885, and only little under
the totals in 1910 and 1914. But the pulling
power of a Dewey Warren ticket will not
he confined to the home States OF the
candidates, for Governor Dewey received
more than 22,OO0,00O votes throughout the
country in 1914, and the selection Of Gov
ernor Warren can be expected to add ma
terially to COP strength in the doubtful
Western States.
The appeal of the Republican ticket,
however, is by no means limited to
matter of geography for the candidates
are strong in their own right. Governor
Dewey's qualifications were discussed In
these columns yesterday. In the East.
Governor Warren is less well known, but 1t
is not an exaggeration to say that he prob
ablv is the best man the convention could
have chosen to run with the New Yorker.
Four years ago Governor Warren was
the Republican keynoter. He told that
Chicago assemblage that he did not know
why he had been chosen to make the
keynote address, but that perhaps 1t was
because he came from "the great, hopeful
energetic West" And in the West, he
went on to say, "there is little fear OF
failure and no fear of trying"
Those were not idle words, as the Cali
fornians record as fighter for compulsory
health insurance, more social security,
better collective bargaining, etc, will at
test. In addition to these things, Governor
Warren is a firm and clear-sighted advo-
cate OF the assumption by this country OF
It's international responsibilities. With his
nomination, therefore, the Republican
ticket escapes the blight that would have
come upon it il the second place had gone
to some one whose record Is one of OBJ
struction of the foreign policies which
Governor Dewey has indorsed and for
which Republicans like Senator Vanden-
berg have been fighting,
When President Truman was in Cali
fornia he said that Governor Warren really
was a Democrat The Governor would
deny that, but there is no reason to dis
avow the compliment which the President
intended. When campaign time rolls
around the Democrats will have to con-
centrate their fire on Governor Dewey or
on the Republican Congress- for they will
not have any ammunition to use against
the COP vice presidential candidate.

Hail and Farewell to q Champ

Joe Louis, avowedly retiring after his
twenty-f1fth defense of the heavyweight
prize fight championship, leaves behind
him record of which he has every reason
to be proud. Last nights contest at
Yankee Stadium, though slow-moving,
left no room for doubt that the Brown
Bomber is still the champ perhaps the
outstanding fighter of all time. But even
Joe himself admitted after 1t was over
that he is not the agile, deadly puncher
that he used to be. The listlessness OF
Louis and his prancing opponent, Jersey
Joe Walcott, made the first ten rounds
look like a second-rate preliminary. 1t
took the prodding OF the referee to pro-
duce the climactic furry of blows which
dropped the challenger for the final count.
1t is understandable, therefore, that Joe
Louis should have announced through the
microphone that he had fought his last
fight He retires champion in more ways
than one. Prize fighting has not always
been blessed with such able and clean
fighters as Louis There are many pres
sures and temptations which only the
strong can resist. But Louis resisted them.
Sticking to fighting, he refused to be
exploited by propagandists of a number OF
questionable causes. He climbs out OF the
prize ring Gf his decision is indeed 1rrevo-
cable} a great fighter, fine sportsman
and a good citizen-a real credit to sport
dom, to his country and to his race.

The Killer Ship

The physicists say that every action
produces an opposite and equal reaction
The reaction to the development OF the
torpedo boat and the submarine was the
creation of a new type of warship, the
destroyer. Late in World War II the Ger
mans developed new type OF submarine,
a fast, range U-boat that could
"breathe" under water by means of a
snout or "schnorkel." The reaction to
this new undersea threat is the Navys new
killer" ship, a speedy cruiserlike vessel
especially designed to hunt down and
destroy the latest type of submersible.
Most of the details about this new anti
submarine ship. to be known as the elk
Digit cruiser-killer), remain secret.
Enough has been revealed recently, how
ever, to indicate that naval experts believe
they have found the answer to the schnor-
kel-equipped submarine. The schnorkel-
which is being installed on our latest sub
marines-not only enables ship to travel
by diesel propulsion for weeks at time
at periscope DEPTH but, its Nazi designers
believed, would render a U-boat immune
to radar detection The problem of detec-
tion has been given intensive study. While
the progress made in solving this problem
has not been disclosed, it is reported that
the killer" ships will be equipped with
latest detection devices, including sonar" !"
for detecting and locating submarines by
sound
The CLKs, two of which are to be built
for experimental purposes, also will be
armed with new antiSubmarine weapons
of potent striking power. Rockets un-
doubtedly will be included, for, during the
later phases of the war, rocket-type
weapons known as "mousetraps" were in
stalled on a number of destroyers and
destroyer-escorts These batteries Of
missiles, made to explode on contact with
a submarine, were projected from the
ship in multiple lots, falling in pattern
so as to bracket large area. Any U-boat
IN that area was doomed.
The first of the killers" will be named
The u. s. s. Norfolk, in honor of Norfolk,
virginia. whose citizens raised $37,000,0 900
toward ship construction during the war.
The ship will cost something less than
10000 900. If this ship proves capable OF

The U. N. Loon

Despite some suggestions to the con-
trary, it seems highly unlikely that the
United Nations will remove its headquar-
ters from this country because Congress
failed to authorize the u. N. building loan
in the last-minute rush before adjourn
ment.
After all, the failure is attributable pri-
marily to House leadership that dilly-
dallied too long in bringing the measure to
vote. Unanimously Endorsed by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee and ap-
proved by the Senate, the proposal has
enjoyed overwhelming support in Con-
gress, and the United Nations would be
making little sense if it decided to build
its home abroad simply because of a
temporary delay in action on authorizing
the necessary funds.
Nevertheless, besides creating an unfor-
tunate psychological impression in some
quarters, the delay has left the whole
project up in the air and created a number
OF difficulties for the architects, excavators,
builders, contractors and others involved.
U. N. Secretary General Trygve Lie is
UNDERSTANDABLE disappointed and bit
worried. So, too, Is New York City, which
Evening star., 1948-06-26

has pledged s2o,ooo,ooo for site improve
ments and which is anxious to get on
with the job. As in all undertakings OF
this sort, financial uncertainty and loss of
time add up to costly headache for
everybody involved.
Under the bill which Congress failed to
pass in time, the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation would have been empowered
to advance $25, ,000,0 900 Immediately to the
United Nations, with an additional $40,-
100000 to be appropriated as the work
proceeded and the bills came due. Unless
some way can be found to make the
$25,000O00 available in the weeks ahead,
construction of the New York headquarters
will be held up for year or two-an
altogether unwarranted delay.
It has been suggested that Congress
ought to be called into special session to
deal with the situation, but that seems
improbable. Another suggestion is that
the World Bank may be able to make the
initial advance. If the bank has the legal
power to do so, it can meet the immediate
problem. In any event. an such possibili-
ties should be explored in the hope OF
finding satisfactory stop-gap solution
pending congressional authorization.

Is There q Hiding Place?

The Encyopedia Britannica people are
putting out movie called where Will
You Hide?" This question arises from the
threat of atomic warfare. The Aim is
designed to show what will happen in
another war when atomic bombs, bacterio-
logical warfare or still-unpublicized weap-
ons of mass destruction rain down on
our cities"
AS if in response to the movies question,
an Army Map Service expert has just
announced that the Nations many natural
caves would be of little value in such a
grim emergency. Reports as to the feasi-
bility of using caves for shelter in an
atomic war are greatly exaggerated" ac-
cording to William E. Davies, nationally
known expert on caves, who has studied
the problem for the Army.
A false idea as to the availability OF
caves for human habitation has grown up
as a result of public inspection of certain
well-known caverns, mostly of CONNER
cialized nature, said Mr.. Davies. Some OF
these holes in the ground may be usable
for storage of important records, military
supplies, scientific apparatus and other
material. But most caverns are not only
inaccessible in an emergency but not fitted
to live in for more than short time.
They are damp, muddy, poorly ventilated
and full of hazards, from vertical drops Of
several hundred feet to falling rocks
From this pessimistic report it would
seem that the only underground refuge
that might prove effective against radia-
ton or germs would be one specifically
designed and constructed for that purpose.
To provide sufficient space underground
in or near every city and town to protect
the inhabitants from destruction obviously
would be an engineering job too enormous
to undertake. And even If the money
could be found to dig these extensive bomb
shelters, there is no certainty that they
would ever prove their worth. If the
bombs should start falling, there will prob
ably be little or no advance warning.
Our hope of salvation must lie either in
some yet-to- to-be-devised system OF guar
anteeing the world against atomic war
fare, or failing that, in an effective defense
ring to break up any attack. Hiding our
heads underground, physically or psyche
logically, is not the answer.

This and That
Bv Charles Z. Trace,DeI


A correspondent wants to know about the
yellow-breasted chat.
I'VE find him as ubiquitous, noisy, gay and
inquisitive as jay" she writes.
This Is q bird often seen in and around the
CITY, especially in the suburbs where his
chatter attracts attention.
The name, of course, comes from just that
chatter.
Hence chat and no bird more deserves his
common name.
Gaily he calls, looking down the while to
see If any one notices him.
- =
This one is ~ inches long, which is large
for warbler.
He seems to have a real sense of hun1or.
In this he always Is likened to the blue Jay,
but is unlike him in that his fun Is purely
personal
The jay iikes to laugh at others, including
man, cat and dog, as well as bird.
The chat makes q joke about himself, and
tells it to all who will listen.
Perhaps this is not going too FAR the chat
actually gives one that feeling.
A peculiar bird is this yelIow-breasted chat.
He knows a thing or two, though as hunor"
GUS things usually do.
For instance, when the parasitic cowbird
puts an egg in his nest, he destroys it.
In this he is one Of the few species that
seem to know the difference between rghtul
babies and usurpers of the nest.
There Is long-tailed chat, but he Is not
seen herea bout.
The chat nest is put, usually, In tangle OF
sfrubbery. It is made of leaves strips OF
bark and weed stalks, lined with fine grasses.
The eggs are three to five, white, tinted with
pink, spotted with chestnut.
The pink tinge is seen only when the eggs
first are laid.
This bird winters In Florida and to the
South as far as Yucatan and Costa Rica.
In summer he has been found as far North
as Maine, but only as casual visitor.
Although classed as a warbler, the chat
really is quite warbler-like in appearance,
song and actions.
Therefore those trying to identify him should
not think warbler" too much or they will miss
him entirely
The size, heavy bill and very loud voice set
1t apart.
Some regard 1t as one of the hardest to
see and the easiest to hear.
The song usually comes as the creature hops
around in the top of tree or in shrubbery.
He also has flight song, given as he flies
high, and then descends with dangling feet'
-
Some listeners feel that the bird never sings
but just gives forth with an odd mixture OF
whistles, squeaks. cackles etc.
It is this chatting" type of sound, reminding
one of the talk back and forward between two
excited ladies, that gives the bird his common
name.
Victor Herbert wrote "Badinage," always a
favorite: the music somehow reminds one OF
the sort of thing the chat achieves in the vocal
line.
This is a fine bird, one to be taken lightly per-
haps but none the less pleasantly for all that
He belongs to the comparatively small group
of birds regarded as humorous. 1t may be that
no bird has a real sense of humor, even when
it seems to have; the apparent fun in its dis
position is Just the Interpretation humans put
on what 1t does and says But when we watch
the crow. the jay and the chat, We feel that
there Is something different there, and perhaps

stands out clearly: Until the Soviet Union has
secured Its Asiatic flank by knocking the
Chinese Republic out Of the fight against
communism, the Red Army will not be in
position to move elsewhere. As long as China
can maintain herself In the Communist
battle line, Soviet Russia will have 5000
mile-long exposed "underbelly" in Asia. vul-
nerable to bomber attacks and to invasion

1t, therefore, is obvious that 1t is to the best
interests Of the United States to keep the mil
lions OF hardy Chinese in the battle and to
see to it that they are not beaten. This can
be done by means Of comparatively small
flow Of military supplies. Centuries OF priva-
ton have taught the Chinese people to do big
jobs with little assistance. The cost would
be only fraction Of the billions We poured

A. National parks are Federal game sanctu-
aries and wildlife must be protected. No hunt
ing Is permitted and natural features may
not be disturbed. Unlike national parks the
national forests permit hunting and fshing
subject to local laws. The privilege Of cutting
trees is leased to individuals under tho guild
ance of authorized forest rangers and suitable
areas are rented to stock grazers
Q. Were there any Indians in the United
States Army In World War I?-C. McC.
A. The majority Of Indians - noncitisens
were not subject to the draft, but about 5000
saw military service in 1918. The Indians
proved to be particularly valuable In the In
tellieence services, in sniping and raid1ng be-
yond enemy lines. Indian languages provided
q secret code which completely bafaed the
Germans.
Q. In what language does sholem Asch
write?-B. H.
A. The author has written nearly all his
novels, plays and poems In Yiddish. Though
he speaks English fuently and has occasionally
written In 1t, Sholem Asch remains essentially

Help Tor EmOattleQ Allnd
70 the Editor Of The Star:
In his column last Sunday, Constantine
Brown again showed himself to be one of the
ablest political columnists in the Nations
Capital
His revelations of the manner In which the
Truman administration conspired to prevent
aid to China are amazing. 1t was generally
known that Secretary Marshall sought to salts
fy his personal pique over his failure in China
by opposing any move that would support
Chang Kai-sheks government against the
Communists. It, however, was reasonable to
expect that he would put aside his ego In the
interest Of his country. 1t is sorry situation
when the government Of great and respected
nation permits its most vital foreign policy
link to be determined by the personal dislikes
and prejudices OF It's foreign policy makers.
It is particularly surprising that Secretary
Royal should have taken part in the shameful
betrayal of the valiant Chinese armies who
have been fighting our common enemies, the
Japanese and the Communists, for more than
q decade. When Mr.. Royal testified in execu-
tive session that China inevitably would be
taken over by the Communists he was acting
not only as . defeatist but as an amateur
prognosticator the like Of which we had many
during the last world war. The defeatists then
predicted the inevitable collapse Of China un-
der the blows of the japanese Army" yet we
know today that the ability Of the Chinese to
tie up vast numbers Of japanese troops was
the greatest outside contribution to our hnal
victory.
