 ''I think Alaska is one of our strategic areas of defense, and I look upon Alaska as the buffer state between Russia an6 the Un- ited States, and now I look upon the United States as the buffer state between Russia and the rest of the world.

No Crandstand This Time In
 Atomic Tests

HONOLULU, -(P)-A top level American scientist-military team is evidently conducting a secret series of major atomic weapons tests at isolated, guarded Eniwe- tok Atoll.
 The first of these tests to chart wartime uses of atomic fisslon. probably already has been con- ducted.
 The tests are not the grand stand show of the 1946 Blkini experiments. Then diplomats, ob- servers, hundreds of newspaper men, scientists and military ex- perts from many countries wit messed and told the world what they saw.
 At the current tests, the only spectators are a few experts from one country-the United States. The U. s. atomic energy commits sion has warned everyone but a few well-screened experts to keep away.
 There is no indication that any one is expected to return soon from Eniwetok.
 It seems evident to careful ob- servers that at least two types of tests were planned. The first presumably, would be the use of atomic warheads on guided mis- siles, on short range flights; the second, atomic bombs dropped from the air.

The Russians resumed the of fensive in the propaganda war in Germany today. They blamed the British for the Berlin plane crash which killed IS persons and went ahead with plans to seek a plebiscite of Germans on a uni fled government.
 Field Marshal Lord Montgomery chief of the British imperial gen. eral staff, went back to London without any public indication whether his dinner meeting with top Soviet military leaders in Der lin last night had cleared and roadblocks in the way of four power amity.
 Montgomery was believed to have discussed with the Russians the crisis over restrictions on all lied rail traffic and other factors in the worsening East-West re- ations, including the plane crash, in which a Soviet fighter and a British transport collided Monday.
 A Russian investigating com mission charged that the crash was caused by British violation of allied regulations. The commis- sion said it occurred over a Soviet airport in Berlin. British officials denied Russian charge that the British transport suddenly darted from the clouds into the Soviet fighter.

WASHINGTON, -(P)-Ameri- ca's armed forces want to set up vast military reservation in the shortest range to the Russian area in the Aleutians.

 The plan was disclosed when official notice of a hearing May 4, on army, airforce and navy petitions to withdraw the affected areas from public lands status.
 The notice appeared in federal register which reports orders other than the actions of public agencies.

Tito's Fall From Grace

1t seems only yesterday that Premier
Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia was the fore
most of all the worlds Communists out
side of Russia itself His sudden fall from
grace is therefore particularly spectacular,
like the unexpected explosion of a bril-
liant Red star Once the darling of the
Kremlin, he is now a Trotskyist blackguard
guilty of the heinouS sin OF deviating
from the Marxist-Lenin party line and
pursuing hateful policy" toward the
Soviet Union.
This judgment has been passed upon
him by the Stain dictatorship through
the agency of the Communist Information
Bureau-the so-called Cominform, which
he himself played large role in organ
izing not many months ago to line up the
satellites with the Soviet Union in waging
war on the European Recovery Program.
1t is a measure of his closeness to the
Kremlin at that time, and of his downfall
now, that the headquarters of this clear
ing-house for international subversion was
established in Belgrade, the capital OF
his own ruthless little tyranny.
The precise nature of Tito's offense is
not yet clear. The Cominform statement
merely asserts that he and other key
Communists in the Yugoslav dictatorship
have retreated from "Marxism-L !"

chose to keep his mind and his heart open
to all the world about him.
The story Of his labors to discover the
cause and the cure Of yellow fever is one
of the popular sagas Of modern science.
Equally important, however, was DR.. Reeds
work in other branches Of bacteriology,
including erysipelas, diphtheria and
typhoid fever He was an excellent class
ical scholar, a gifted teacher and dem
onstrator of surprising skill. His writings
prove him to have been a master OF English
style as well as careful and patient
correlator Of data As curator of the Army
Medical Museum, he contributed to the
creation OF an institution OF noteworthy
practical value Meanwhile, he set an
example OF grace in manner, kindliness in
dealing with all classes Of people and an
ardent, optimistic attitude toward the
problems of existence.
Only 81 when he died, DR.. Reed saw
simply the first of the fruits of his endeav-
ors. To illustrate the miracle accomplished
under his leadership, there were 400
cases OF yellow fever in Havana in 1900,
not a single case in all Cuba in 1902.

DR.. Reed in Hall of Fume

The latest honor to be paid to DR.. Walter
Reed is that of the recent unveiling OF
portrait bust of him in the Hall OF Fame
at New York University He represents
medicine in that gallery Of distinction, and
is the only physician thus far admitted to
it. But he really did not need such recog-
nition The great medical center which
bears his name assures the continuance OF
his celebrity Yet Washingtonians who
knew him as a neighbor and friend are
pleased by every acknowledgment of his
achievement. He was not only a distin-

manner as they treat the bourgeois states
As q result, they now stand condemned,
with the Cominform demanding either
true return to Marxist policy or change

Until more detailed information is
Forthcoming, and until the Moscow and
Soviet satellite press elaborates upon the
subject, it will be impossible to assess the
full significance of what has happened to
Tito and his accused aides Up to the
moment, he has not been heard from. 1t
may be that he has already been deprived
of his power and possibly placed under
arrest or even shot. On the other hand, 1t
is not inconceivable that he is of some

all is not sweetness, light and unity among
the Soviet puppets. When even their most
prominent and toughest agents backSlide
and balk, the men of the Kremlin must be
having something less than smooth sailing
behind the Iron Curtain. To mix the
metaphor, how pleasant to think that they
may have bitten off much more than they
can chew and that they will yet stub their
toes very seriously in their effort to tyran-

WANTED: A psychiatrist with some ex-
perience with alcoholics. Salary, $8,179 to
$9,37650 Write to DR.. George c. Rutland,
District Health Officer, Municipal Center,

The Star is glad to make this slight

The search is not going very we'll for,

No. l beneficiary of full employment and
imitation.
DR.. Rutland wrote DR.. William Men
ninger, who ran Army psychiatry during
the war and now heads big clinic at
Topeka, Kansas, where many young
psychiatrists are in training in every
division Of the therapy of the soul.
DR.. Menninger replied that he would
post the opening on his bulletin board
but that he was dubious about any of his
young men taking it, With the under
standable pride of head of professional
school whose graduates are doing well, he
wrote that his men were going into
Veterans Administration before finishing
their course at $500 and some at $4,000
a year.
The Veterans Administration met the
psychiatrist shortage by having Congress
exempt its employment of psychiatrists
from the Classification Act. The agency
can pay what it wants up to $4,000.
It may be that such exemption will have
to be obtained in the next Congress for
the District Alcoholic Clinic. But before
that can be done it will be necessary to
show that a real effort was made to
employ a man under the Classification
Act

Planes Too Close

To the Editor of The Star:
am amazed by the nerve OF the air trans
portation company managers. I am waked up
as are many others, soon after having 1allen
asleep on these warm nights, by two or 1our-
motored plane that comes down within loo
to 200 feet of my roof, SO close that the mouse
itself vibrates and shudders under the i'm
pact of the motors. No doubt these managers
are former daredevil pilots, used to riskinR
their own lives and with small concern for the
lives of others.
NV amazement stems not so much Tor their
contempt for the rights and comfort OF other
people-for thousands of homes (some OF them
containing small children which are partl-
cularly hard to get back to Sleep are disturbed
night after night-but for their failure TO
recognize that these privileges CD are PAID
for by the general public.
Hardly an airport in the country earns
enough to pay operating expenses. The capi-
tai costs all have been paid through taxation;
and in their accounting airport managers as
sumo that the cost of the land and the ex-
pensive construction costs all will be met by
subsidy. Weather services, airway costs, bea-
cons, etc., all are paid for out OF the public
treasury. And the public is under the pressure
of constant propaganda to increase these sub
sidies-to pay for expensive landing control
systems to build more of these public nui-
sances. LEROY e. PEABODY.
