prejudice hampers him but usually
he sees what he looks at.
Now he has taken advantage OF
the Republican presidential politics,
senatorial vanity and the shortages
that have caused prof1ts-rich indus

Combined, they have saved his face
with a passable agreement.
Paid OFF Old Scores.
At the same time he has paid of
old scores. He has made the Demo-
cratic administration which he
hates look foolish. He has exalted
an upcoming rival to Senator Taft,
author of the hated slave labor"
act, on the eve OF presidential
primary (Nebraska) in which both
are entered.
There are some worms in the
apple. The Republican Congress
necessarily gains though it passed
the slave labor" law. Lewis still
faces a contempt trial. The me-
chanism of the show was little
obvious for true artistry. But when
the big hates are involved, one can
temporize with half-hates.
Both Senator Bridges and Speaker
Martin got into the act through
Mr.. Lewis who, incidentally, is, like
them, a conservative Republican.
Senator Bridges was on Mr.
, Lewis original list of suggestions
for impartial member of the three
man board of trustees of the pen
sion fund, the issue that kicked of
the row. Now if most of labor had
to rank the 96 Senators as their
choice of interveners in labor dis
pute, they would make Senator
Bridges No. 95. CIO records mark
him right" just once in the last
few years-when he voted against
seating Senator Bilbo.
But Mr.. Lewis has no CIO preju'
dices and he knows Senator Bridge:

himself into burning issues. 1t wa.

| Bankers, sitting in the gloom of
their temples Of finance, would no
more think Of refusing a loan with
out their dark glasses on than they
would of shooting craps with a pair
Of nister-appearing dice with
loaded strangers.
Soda jerkers, in order to look as
near like John Kodiak as they pos
sibly can, mix their frightful con-
coctions while looking through
darkened windows. This often re-
suits in the patron who ordered a
strawberry sundae getting a ham
and Swiss on rye, the man behind
the counter being unable to dis
tinguish between milk and meat
because of his self-imposed blind
ness.
Taxi drivers affect the glasses. too,
and to ride with one Of them is to
serve as a sort of seeing-eye dog. I
was in cab yesterday, destination
the Lakeside Golf Club, and the
pilot of the machine very gracious
ly asked me to whistle when saw
the lights change, and to point out
the turns. He said he twice had
been mistaken for Wallace Beery,
thanks to the glasses, and that his
ego had been lifted no end.
Just why movie stars think that
dark glasses serve as a disguise
is a mystery to me. They don't
cover up enough Of them. Take
Miss Jane Russell, for example. If
she Is serious about Disgusting her
self and thus thwarting autograph
seekers she should wear an army
pyramidal tent. They are not ex-
pensive, and can be bought at any
store where war surplus supplies
are sold.
For another example, let us con-
slider Mr.. Dennis Morgan, one OF
the real sweet guys in the business.
AS soon as I finish this bread-win-
ming article I am going to play golf
with him. Dennis is a golfer who
shoots in the low 70's, and takes
the game rather seriously. If he
would only take off his dark
glasses, he might very well shoot in
the high SOS, but so strong is the
custom of half sight in this land Of
make believe, he always makes his
shots wearing a pair Of glasses
much blacker than the bit Of
smoked glass with which I. as a
youngster, used to view the eclipses
which occasionally visited Georgia.

was mistake. Constantine Brown.
Communism, like Nazism and
Fascism, arose outside of the West
ern Hemisphere. Communism is
being used by Russia-more than
Hitler used Fascism-as a political,
economic and social weapon to put
Russia's plans for world domination
into effect.
Moscow has far greater means
than Hitler ever had to place hun
dreds of thousands Of agents of all
races, creeds and nationalities in
every corner of the globe. And the
United States is poorly prepared at
this time to meet the Soviet chal-
lenge.
Was Away Job.
Before VI day the intelligence
services of the Army, Navy and State
Department along with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation split up be-
tween themselves the task of watch
ing Russia's worldwide moves.
BY mutual agreement, the FBI
was given the job of keeping track
of the Nazi, Fascist and Communist
agents in South America, while the
other services dealt with other parts
Of the world.
Army and Navy intelligence serv-
ices and the FBI were assigned the
job of checking on all subversive
persons in the United States. This
close collaboration worked as well as
could be expected under existing
wartime conditions, when nothing
much could be done about the Com
munists and their theological fol-
lowers. Russia was militarily on
our side in the war, and her agents
had to remain unmolested, in order
to avoid giving offense 10 the Krem-
lin.
After the war President Truman
set up by executive order the Gen.
trail Intelligence Agency. 1t took
over the strategic intelligence func-
tions of the armed forces and elimi-
mated the FBI from the field of
foreign intelligence.

standing on the sidelines in the
Republican presidential race and
would have no objection to ag-
grandizing Speaker Martin there.
Mr.. Lewis ganibled on him-cor-
rectly. The Senator has earnestly
assured friends that he felt highly
honored and f1attered at being
called on to, play . part in the
crisis.
The choice Of the Speaker was
likewise inspired. Joe Martin is a
shrewd, sincere party man who
doesn't mind admitting he likes to
turn his hand to its advantage.
With labor kicking against the
Republicans, why shouldn't the Re-
publicans stage peace parley and
let the Democrats get out the in
functions for q change? It is fair
to say that such considerations
weighed with Senator Bridges also.
A possible personal element en-
ters in. The Speaker Is a great
man in Washington and one Of the
best liked but he has trouble gain
ing the kind Of national legend
that makes Senator Vandenberg so
widely touted as a Republican COM
promise for President. Now he has
had the white light-the Taft camp
says 1t has already registered in
Nebraska. And he can be sure the
people who run the COP will never
be mad at him for keeping the
wheels of industry turning.
Operators Divided.
The role of Mr.. Van Horn will
probably never be admitted by Mr..
Van Horn. The coal operators are
divided among themselves; to some
of them Mr.. Lewis is cold poison.
But the great bulk of coal inter-
ests is tied in with steel and
other mass industries which have
found it can get its money back
through the worlds inordinate ap-
petite for American products no
matter what they pay miners.
Operator sources repeat report
that some owners have berated Re-
publican National Chairman Reece
about the Martin rescue. Chair
man Reece did not mention such
conversation to his most intimate
associates with whom he discussed
the coal situation. The operators OF
course, would like the public to be-
lieve they put up a fight. A few
admit they are making the high
est profits they ever made.
AS usual Mr.. Lewis has looked
after his miners both in the pension
results and in not prolonging the
strike. One reason for his power L
that he is operating a shrinking
labor market-nobody wants to be
a coal miner any more. The av-
erage age of coal miner during
the war was 50; it's still about As
the union estimates, as boys who
went to war did not all return te
the world of coal towns.
The coal problem is permanent
regardless of present politica
skirmishes, and Mr.. Lewis Is oper'
ating on fast track when he de.

To Intelligence Units Lack of Training

! of 1947 this agency became oul
principal intelligence organization
Meanwhile, however, the FBI agents
who had done highly successful
work in Latin America, were order
ed recalled.
Thus, today we have two organi-
zations with specific duties: Gen.
tral Intelligence Agency, which is
charged with collecting, evaluating
and disseminating intelligence from
abroad, and the FBI, which is re-
sponsible for tracking down Com.
munist activities in the United
States.
This appears to be an ideal ar
rangement on paper. Unfortunately
in practice it does not work out as
well as it should. Communist &C.
tivities in the United States cannot
be checked properly since Com
munist agents are closely linked
with headquarters in other parts
OF the world. Communist activi-
ties throughout the world are di-
rected by the Politburo and the
MVD in Moscow.
Couriers carry oral instructions
to Communist conspirators in the
United States and Latin America.
Large sums Of money are brought
in diplomatic pouches to the Rus
sian and satellite embassies. A
courier on his way to the United
States makes wide detour by way
Of Western Europe and several
Latin American republics before
reaching an American port Of
entry. The responsibility for fol-
lowing his movements abroad rests
with Central Intelligence; the job
of following him in the United
States rests with the FBI.

over a period Of years they had
made excellent contacts. They were

were stationed and reported them
by radio to Washington. During
the six years they worked in Latin
America they were able to keep the
American Government fully ia
formed not only of the movements
of couriers, but also Of the coups
which the Politburo was planning
in the Southern Hemisphere.

have come to argue that the
world organization should crawl
before the threats of a group OF
small Arab countries and reverse
itself on a decision made little
more than four months ago. This
decision, the partition plan for
Palestine, was reached in large part
because of the public and private
urging of these same American
representatives.
On orders from Washington the
American delegation back in No
vember worked day and night, in
the assembly chamber and in hotel
rooms, to line up a majority of the
nations for the partition plan-the
only plan that seemed to contain
the elements of justice and practi-
cality. They were completely sue
cessful. Even the Soviet Union
agreed. Great Britain, while alb
staining from voting, accepted the
solution. Canada, Australia, South
Africa and New Zealand gave 1t
their votes.
Must Undo Job.
Now, on a change of orders from
Washington, the embarrassed. Amer
leans must undertake to undo one
Of the truly constructive Jobs thus
far accomplished within the United
Nations. This Of itself would con-
tain no cause for humiliation If any
thing had happened to reveal that
the original action was unwise, un-
fair or in any way improper. But
nothing of that kind has happened.
The Arab countries, to be sure, have
declared they will not accept the
authority of the United Nations, of
which some of them are members;

that they propose to keep on kill
ing off the Jews and nobody can
stop them. But no great power
certainly not one that processes
itself prepared to contain" Russian
aggression wherever it may show
itself-could be expected to capitu-
late to such threats and ask the
rest of the world to join in the
capitulation.
To replace the partition plan the
American Government will suggest
a trusteeship under the United
Nations. This is acceptable to
neither the Arabs nor the Jews
For one thing, there is no reason
to believe that 1t can be made to
work or can even be set up before
the date of May is when Great
Britain is due to relinquish her
Palestine mandate. For another 1t
is fragrant affront to both the Jews
and the Arabs.
1T certainly seems to imply" said
DR.. Herbert v. Evatt, Australian
Foreign Minister, that the peoples
to be placed under trusteeship are
not sufficiently advanced for self
government. Such a suggestion
would seem to be untenable in rela-
tion either to the Palestinian Arabs
or to the Palestinian Jews"
Double Trouble.
If it seems that way to the Aus
tralian statesman, 1t Is easy to
understand how 1t seems to the
Jews and the Arabs. The Jews have
reason for pride in the capacities
they have shown in developing their
corner of Palestine. The Arabs
could take pride in their ability to
throw a great power such as the
United States off its stride. Both
can feel they are capable Of gov
erning themselves. In any case, both
are dead set against the trustee
ship idea and that means double
trouble if the plan is forced on
them.

series of brave adventures-all part
presumably Of a concerted whole

asked. A more devastating question
however, is raised by this proposed
