AN EDUCATING EXPERIENCE

For thirty years Anna Louise Strong has been
writing how wonderful the Soviet system it. Then
earlier this year she arrested by Russian secret
police held prisoner, cross-examined and then de-
ported from the Soviet Union spy. Now she has
written series of six articles describing how unfairly
she was treated
The methods of the Soviet police state seem to
be a minor detail that heretofore had escaped her
attention. Her articles still contain more surprise
that such an undeserved thing should happen to her
than outrage against the system itself.
1t certainly is remarkable how personal ex
perience can throw a lifetime of impersona "observa-
lions" into different focus

ONLY GUARANTEE FOR PEACE

Many signs on the diplomatic
front indicate that the USA IS
gradually winning the cold war.
Here are some of them:
Russia is angling to lift the Ber-
lin blockade The Italian Com
nunist Party in Italy has lost
100000 members There's IN
creasing unrest in Rumania, Poland,
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia Iron
Curtain countries are itching to
trade with the USA :. The sign
ing of the North Atlantic Pact
made a profound impression in
: Moscow
All this has brought subtle,
carefully aimed drive from Moscow
for cold-war- peace concessions.
Whether to make these concessions
is about the most important ques-
ton now facing the State Depart
ment. 1t may even be the most
important question facing the ma
ton.
If the Soviet gets a rest from
the cold war, il trade concessions
are now given which permit the
strengthening of Soviet industry
especially war industry, it will prob
ably be only temporary breather.
After a rest, the Politburo will go
hack to cutthroat tactics again,
and the western world will have
lost its position OF vantage.
On the other hand, the only sure
guarantee of permanent peace win
Russia is friendship with the Rus

press, no public opinion, no church.

and Mrs. Forrestal.
Petite Mrs. Eisenhower had trip
ped and injured her ankle. Colonel
Thompson's examination revealed a
very slight sprain and he applied
an ace bandage. While the ankle
was being bandaged. Ike and his
companions talked about the doctor
shortage in the armed services and
what could be done to relieve it.
When the ankle was bandaged,
Mis-. Eisenhower found she could
not put on her high-heeled eve
ming slipper. This problem called
for an immediate huddle on tao
tics. Demure Mrs. Ike was quite
firm on the point that she was not
going to return to the Statler Ho-
tel and brave the crowd in the lobby
attired in bedroom slippers, or
even in one slipper,
Finally the problem was solved by
Colonel Thompson removing the
handage, thereby enabling Mrs. Ike
to put on her evening slipper. Then
the two Army doctors accompanied
General and Mrs. Eisenhower back
to the tSatler, proceeded through
the no-man's land of the lobby to
the Eisenhower suite. There the
doctors reapplied the bandage to
Mrs. Ike's ankle.
1t was not learned whether any
decision was reached during the
evening on the best methods to be
used in securing more doctors for
the Army.

Rout Evil With Good

(Memphis Commercial Appeal
-. Many children turn to funny books simply
because there other kind of reading for them in
their homes 1t is shocking to discover how many
persons omit books in the family budget.
Children will read good literature if it is put
within reach. AS matter of fact most normal chill
will get reasonably balanced literary diet if it
is made available to them.
Maybe few more branches of Cossitt Library,
more easily accessible to more children, could be an
answer. Certainly if parents buy few good books
and leave them where children can stumble them,
there will be something take the place of the trash
kids have been finding.
1t must not be forgotten, either that large part
of funny book" sales to adults, not to children
If good books are provided and youngsters still
get overdose of crime and violence, that will
be the time to talk about swinging the of censor
ship.
How long since you bought good book for your
own boys and girls?

TALKS ON ATOMIC ENERGY EXPLAINED:
 MEMO BY TRUMAN

WASHINGTON, July 30-lR- President Truman says the Ad- min. stration and Congress will have ito decide together" what course is wisest in the further development of atomic energy.
 The President said the United States, Great Britain and Canada intend to explore some of the basic questions underlying any de- termination of long-range pol cy in this field"
 In a written statement read to his news conference. MT. Truman made this point clear:
 T wish to emphasize that these exploratory conversations do not involve making agreements with, commitments to, the British, and Canadians on these questions
 The statement was taken as con- firmation that some Congressmen had won a major victory in the discussion of their right to help de- eide whether atomic secrets shall be shared with other nations.

 Says AttIee

LONDON, July 30. - tRl - Prime Minister Attlee accused Winston Churchill today of giving Britain a black eye abroad out of 'irresponsi- bility and party spite
 Replying to Churchill's Conserva- tive Party policy speech at Wolver- hampton a week ago, Attlee said his abuse of the Labor Government may be taken seriously in other countries" where he is remembered mainly as wartime Prime Minister.
 Attlee declared:
 Any government which does not contain him is always denounced as incompetent"
 How disgracefui it is," declared Attlee, ito try to make people be- live that all our difficulties are due to Socialist mismanageemnt."
 Attlee said the wartime coalition government headed by Churchill was fully aware of the difficulties which would face it's peacetime successor.

Harbor, Flood Bin
 May Go on Shelf

WASHINGTON, July 30-tR-- Whether Congress will enact an omnibus flood control and rivers and harbors authorization Jill this year became a big question mark today.
 The House Rules Committee threw a road block at the big $1,114,000,000 bill yesterday which could mean that nothing will be done on it until next year.
 What the committee did was to vote down a motion to send the bill to the House.
 Loaded with waterways projects for virtually every state, the bill previously had been approved and introduced by the House Public Works Committee.
 The only Alaska project in the bill is for a survey of Hoonah hartor.

CE0 GlLLNE:TTERS REJECT PACKERS
 20-CENT OFFER

ASTORIA, Ore, July S0.-lR-- CIO gillnetters on the Columbia River were still on strike today, after turning down a packer offer of 20 cents a pound for salmon.
 The packers upped their original offer of Is cents a pound, but said they could not meet the 26 cents asked by fishermen. They argued that tuna, which competes with salmon on the market, is falling, and that sockeye salmon is being sold at Puget Sound for 20 cents a pound.
 The gillnetters retorted that 20 cents would leave the fisherman no income at all' after paying for his boat and nets. They ordered continuance of the strike.
