BUREAUCRACY" is a mossed-
Aver but not outmoded term. It's
popularity may have faded late
" because politicians seem to use
he term less and less. fear
that all too many folks have as
Jamed that government by bur
laucracy is here to stay, that no
tnatter what brand of national
administration you have, the en-
phasis will still be on Washing
ION. Yet, to welcome an incfeas-
ing reign of bureaucrats is to in
vite totalitarianism.
The battle against political en-
croachments uponsthe lives of our
5;ccple still can be won. When the
facts are carried straight to the
bar of public opinion, I believe
Informed Americans will repudi-
ate this reign Of buTeaucrats. For
generation, tde scope of gov
ernment's power has extended
outward from the federal center.
People are tired of abuses that
come in the wake Of bureaucracy.

Stalin Turns The Screws
(By Jack FOSter)


 IN ALL EASTERN EUROPE, the only remnants of democracy in Finland and Czechosovakia and Sta lin is now completing the policestate slavery of the Czechs.
 dom which President Benes has managed to maintain That miracle would have to come from the people themselves They have the spirit and the character But how they register their will when the Communist minority controls the army the poce the trade unions the natonazed key industries and the radio? And the Reds strangling the non-Communist press
 The only thing about the Stalinist enslavement of Czechoslovaka is the tempo. The stepby-step tech nque of capturing first and then another of the tions controlling agencies has been the in all of the other Eastern European countries.
 Only the process has been slower here because this was the most democratic of all states in the Soviet sphere and had in Benes the ablest leader
 Geography doomed Czech democracy
 Just as it could not stand in isolation against it's mighty totalitaran German neighbor so after Hiters defeat could not escape its mghter otalitarian Russian neighbor But the nsdious Soviet conquest is harder to take because the Russians Slavic brothers who posed as liberatorS.
 Stan has decided to complete the nine-tenths dic- tatorshp which hitherto has served his purpose under nominal allparty coalition in which Reds held the premiership and other key posts because of both local and international conditions.
 Czechs with their Western civilization and trade tes resve under the Stalin division of Europe which completes their dependence Russia in peace And that restiveness is likely to show in the spring cleo ions reducing the Red minority unless Salin can rig the results by his usual terrorist policesate methods
 Theoretically Benes could eliminate the Red minor ity from the government and reorganize coalition ma jority cabinet of the non-Communist parties
 That would make Stalin take over by open military coup But Benes unwilling to precipitate civil and possibly armed invason insists continuing an all- party cabinet headed by the Reds
 However dark the immediate future for that country we have faith that the democratic Czech people some day will find ways to reassert their freedom Hitler could not Kill their spirit and do not think Stalin can
