The whole situation will be re-
viewed with Ambassador Johr
Leighton Stuart. who is due here
Wednesday after having spent tht
last several months in Communists
China.
In commenting on the White
Papers disclosures. Senator Van
denberg said it was obvious thai
both Nationalist China and the
United States had made tragic
mistakes"
"Our chief mistakes" his state
ment said, were Cd the price we
paid at. Teheran and Yalta, al
China's expense, for Russia's be-
lated and unnecessary entry into
the Jap war; (2) our well inten.
toned but impractical insistence
upon Nationalist Communist
coalition"
THE post-mortem is chiefly
useful as warning for the future,
he added.
The tone of Senator Vanden-
bergs statement was in SHARP
contrast to the heated comments
of Mr.. J. Hurley, who was ap.
pointed by President Roosevelt as
a special wartime envoy to China
with ambassadorial rank. Mr.
Hurley's assignment was to try
to achieve unity between the
Chinese Nationalists and Com
munists.
1945 Blasts Echoed.
His comments on the White
Paper echoed his blasts Of Novem-
ber, 1945, when he resigned his
post with a bitter denmciation OF
career diplomats and Q warning
that a Third World War was iii
the making"
His statement today declared
that "pro-Communists" in the
State Department engineered the
overthrow Of. the. Nationalist gov
ernmsnt and aided in the Com
munist conquest of China.
Nearly all the officials relieved
by me in China because they were
pro-Communist are now in the
State Department - presumably
writing alibi White Papers," he
declared. F." ~
Discrepancy in Policies.
Mr.. Hurley said the White Paper
correctly stated that he nearly al
ways agreed with the announced
policies of the President and hi!
Secretary of State. He added, how
ever:
Il criticized the wide discrep-
ancy between the policy stated by
the highest officials and the policy
made effective throughout the
world by the State Department
The policy of the highest officials
and the State Department are
not alike. They are very different
policies"
Mr.. Hurley said the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt was a sick man al
Yalta, when he signed secret
agreements giving Russia specla
concessions in China. Mr.. Hurley
characterized the Yalta agree
ments as blueprint for Com.
munist conquest of China"

THE NURSE IN PUBLIC
RELATIONSHIP

Good public relationship is
a basic necessity in an effec-
tive health program.
Health is one of the greatest
and most essential of all hui
man needs and therefore com
mands a great deal of atten-
ton.
Health groups have been or
gained and are interested in
safe guarding the health of the
people. They require intelli-
gence, cooperation, patience
and a sense of humor for sue
cess. All groups are important
and every individual is valu-
able In the effort to pool re-
sources for the greatest COM
mon good,
There are several types of
nursing service. In our com
munity there are only three
groups through which we can
secure public relationship
namely: Institutional, Public
Health and Private Duty.

comes in contact with the pub
lie in the Hospital, the Out
Patient Department and the

REGRETTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES AT THE STAT

WHAT HAS taken place at the Experiment Station is un-
fortunate, to say the least. No statement has been issued from
the Administrators Office, it was reported from other sources,
however, that Ben R. Foster, Director of the St. Croix Ex-
pertinent Station has been transferred to a post in Arizona.
This is therefore an indication that he is no longer director
at the Station here. The situation could have been avoided,
and the matter cleared, to the satisfaction of all parties, had
there been a fuller realization of the responsibilities of that
office, and its rightful place in the administrative scheme of
things.
IT IS NOW KNOWN that the Governors recommends
ton for dismissal was due to INSTRUMENTATION. Yet there is
nothing unusual about. that since executives, in and out Of the
government, refuse as a whole to suffer that type of condition
within their ranks. Nothing could more quickly spread. Moth
ing could more thoroughly di~sintegrate an entire system, like
a rotten apple in a barrel than insubordination permitted to
go unchallenged. This MI. Foster should have known, having
been an executive himself, and having demanded full respect
and loyalty from his Subordinates.
DURING HIS dictatorship, Mr.. Foster did rather good
work, He saw that there was an adequate supply of plant
slips tor distribution to small farmers, developed several ex-
cenent breeds OF cattle, helped considerably with the produc-
ton OF vegetables for shipment to the mainland, and last year.
there was produced at the Station several thousand pounds of
such vegetables, the great bulk of which was exported. Be-
tore going to the Experiment Station Mi. Foster served with
the Farm Security Administration, and there, too, performed
a commendable job. What has taken place is therefore mfor-
tunate, for characterization is the one sin which would Justify
separations from service despite what had been done previous
y, and the quality and type Of work. AS we see it, the entire
matter could have been avoided, with the former director nm
derstandngh how things work, and complying with the request
Of the Governor.

Private Industry
W ants TO Run
Atomic Show Too

Washington (LPA)-Private in
dustry's hope of taking over some
of the functions now performed
by the Atomic Energy Commission
was revealed last week in a report
from the Industry Advisory Group
of Acc, an eight-man committee
headed by James w. Parker, presi-
dent and general manager of the
Detroit Edison Co.
Following publication of the re-
port, Parker told a news confer
ence that the group wants "better
participation of competitive indus
try" in the atomic energy program.
At the present time, he said, pri-
vate industry isn't getting enough
information about atomic produc-
tion even to know what possibil-
tiles exist.
Parker endorsed the words put
in his mouth by a reporter who
asked, "Are you saying that in
stead of the Commission asking in
dustry to solve specific problems,
industry should be thrown the
whole works and allowed to play
around with it,"
Acc Chairman David E. Lilien-
thai expressed the opinion that the
current program for the develop
ment of an atomic power producer
is being handled in somewhat that
manner. The General Electric plant
soon opening near Schnectady, NY,
is experimenting around with the
power production idea.
The advisory group suggested
that more information be made
available to industry technologists
and that permanent industry ad-
visory council be set up.
Lilienthal told newsmen that he
considered the groups recommen-
dations desirable but some of them
would be difficult to put into oper-
alton. "We must weigh techno-
logical advancement against secur-
ity risk" he declared. The Acc
chief said that many of the sug-
gestions made by the advisors

Public Works
Rise Forecast

Washington, D. c. ILNS). -
j. w. Follin, Assistant Admins
traitor of Public Work, forecasts an
increase of % percent in public
construction in 1949. Of the ex-
pected s5,OOO,000,0O0 outlay during
1949 for public construction he said
an estimated S1,750,000,O00 would
go into highway construction. That
represents 15 percent more than in
.1948.
Education institutions will ac-
count for $7OO,OOO,OOO, compared
with S530,O00,0O0 in 1948; and con-
servation and development work
including reclamation project 5,
river and harbor development and
flood control-may cost S800,000,-
coo compared with S610,000,000
last year.
Writing in the Federal Works
Agency's monthly news publica-
tion, Follin said that private con-
struction in 1949 might decline
moderately" to about $13,250,000,-
600.

in collective bargaining. Strikes,
which are caused by both labor and
management, however, effect the
public welfare. Government inter
ference could not solve labor man
agement relations, the economists
maintain, but a fair wage-price
standard would make for smoother
collective bargaining.
A conference to set up such
standards should be carefully
planned ahead of time with an
agenda upon containing only sub
jects where there is some chance
of agreement, the Council COM
ments. Any standards arrived at
would not be binding but might
eventually lead to a more workable
formulation of wage policies. Econ
omic studies have been made by
the Council that would be useful in
such a conference.
Other matters dealt with in the
report were farm price supports,
housing, social security laws, and
monopoly. In addition to approx
ing Government farm price support
program, the economic advisors
predict that it will be continued. A
government housing program, they
say, "must be accepted because of
the seriousness of the housing
S h r t G e, and anti-inflationary
policies must be devised to curb in
flation even while the expansion
of housing is being encouraged"
Social security laws will be expand
ed, the economists point out, and a
high Federal budget will be "a
more basic feature of our economy
for many years to come"
Concerned with the fate of small
business, the advisors expressed
alarm over the growing concentra-
ton of industrial control in our

IVA Paying Off.
Congress Told

Washington LPA)-With Miss
ouri valley legislation almost GER
tain to come up during the coming
Congress session, the year-end re-
port of Tennessee Valley Author
i ity to the President and Congress
received careful attention this
week.
Citing electric power revenues,
savings from flood control and
navigation, and rate of economic
progress in the Valley, the report
showed that the Tennessee Valley
program of regional development
is paying off.
IVA dams saved almost $15,-
100000 in flood damages during
1948.
River traffic in petroleum, auto
mobiles, grain, aluminium, fertiliz-
err, coal, iron and steel reached a
new high.
The power system generated
nearly Is billion kilowatt-hours,
about ten times as much as in 1888
Power revenues were nearly $780,
100000.
The Federal government has re-
ceived So billion additional revenue
from increased income taxes in the
Valley.
Two new dams, Watauga and
Holston were under construction
during the year.
Electric service went to nearly
10000 consumers, 71,OO0 rural
consumers.
At a time when utilities all over
the country have been asking per-
mission for rate increases, IVA
reduced it's rates $225,00O.
TWAS chemical plant at Muscle
Shoals produced $4,000 tons of
triple superphosphate, 5000 tons of
calcium metaphosphate, 27,000 tons
of fused tricalcium phosphate, and
155, 900 tons of ammonium nitrate.
The food freezing industry,
which IVA helped develop grew
into a $5,00O,O00 industry.

Warrington Firm
Gives Employees
Xmas Bonus Check

Warrington, w. Va.-With Of
ficers for the new term installed
at our last meeting, Local Union
n is ready to buckle down and
meet any controversies that may
arise. We sincerely hope our griev-
ances will be few and we can look
forward to bright prospe
throughout the year.
With year Of steady work be-
hind US, plus a Christmas bonus of
$65.O0, we feel that we have quite
a lot to be thankful for. Much has
been accomplished during the past
year by the local and also by the
firm. We are indeed fortunate to
have Mr.. Lollemant as our employ
er and we wish to go on record as
expressing our gratitude to man
who has shown so much human in
terest in his employees.
Two new tunnel kilns are now in
operation and a new gravity sys-
tenn slip operation has been install
ed. A new spray room and dryers
are almost complete. This will
speed up production quite bit.
We are also glad to announce
that at long last the firm has been
able to secure the necessary ma
chine for administering therapy
treatments for silicosis.
We realize that we have accom-
plished much during the past year,
but we must not overlook the fact
that had it not been for the coop
Grafton extended by the firm and
the willingness of the employees
to do their part, we would not have
been successful in our efforts.
Although it is somewhat of a
belated greeting, we wish at this
time to extend season greetings to
Mr.. Lollemant, President Duffy
and other members of the Execu-
tive Board, and the trade in gener-
al, A Happy and Prosperous New
Year.-O.C. IT

UNIV Oldest
81

Washington (LPA)-The United
Mine Workers welfare and retire
ment fund brought Merry Christ.
mas last week to 81-year cid Rich
ard Bagley of Dixonville, in west
ern. Pennsylvania. Bagley, Oldest
miner to qualify to date for UNIV
pension benefits, worked in the
Pennsylvania mines until only a
year ago, UNIV President John L.
Lewis disclosed.
A member of UNIV Local 1915,
Bagley worked in the bituminous
mines for A years, until his re-
tirement late in 1947.
Since the fund was opened last
September, after nearly a years
stalling by the employer member
on its board of trustees, it has
brought relief from insecurity to
mine veterans thruout the country.
Financed by coal operator pay
ments of 20c ton on coal mined,
the welfare and retirement fund
provides 500 a month payments to
retired miners and scaled benefits
to sick and disabled miners and
their families. Death benefits of
$1,000 are also provided.
Bagley's check came from the
bituminous industry's fund-while
a similar plan covers workers in
anthracite mines.
