THE MASS SURVEY

Progressive communities
take definite steps to acertain
the state Of health of their in
habitants. One such step is the
Mass X-Ray Program through
which a community is survey
ed for the presence of tuber-
culosis. Such a program aims
to find the hidden cases of tu-
berculosis find them so that
SO the rest of the community
can be protected find them
early enough so that chances
of cure are higher.
For years now cur Health
Department has been talking
of such a program. 81. Thomas
had its opportunity to initiate
a Mass Survey a couple OF
years ago. Now it's St. Croix'
turn.
Aided by the u. S. Public
Health Service, this municipal.
ity is about ready for its pro-
gram. The X-Ray machine
which can set up at various
places was sent here from
Puerto Rico, but the boat bring
ing it had to be laid up in st.
Thomas for repairs. However,
it is expected soon.

ISRAEL AT
LAKE SUCCESS
Continued from Page One)

With this approach to debate,
the Israel delegation has already
extracted attention as prospect
lively the first small nation to
strive seriously for a role of neu-
trality in the East-West struggle
shat ceaselessly impinges on the
effective functioning of this or
ganization. In it's first three
weeks of activity at regular ses-
sion of the General Assembly,
Israel has been the only member
state to hew a completely indie
pendent line. An analysis of it's
votes to date shows that it has
voted both with the Western bloc
and with the Soviet bloc with
total disregard for anything but
a neutral Interpretation of the
facts.
It's voting reveals, Furthermore,
that it has sided with the Soviet
bloc whenever a question of con-
ciliatory or compromise proceed
ure was involved. 1t supported
the SovietS in their effort to have
a North Korean, as we'll as a
South Korean, representative APP
pear before the U. N. Korean
Commission. Eban voted against
priority consideration of the
Chinese complaint against the
Soviet Union not only because it
should not supercede the Pales-
tine item but also because, in his
view, the Soviet resolution for a
five-power peace pact should be
discussed first. Eban argued that
if a chance existed for improving
Big-Power relations, this should
be given higher priority.
But Israel impressed the dele
oates most as firm believer in
international harmony in the po-
sition it took on the question of
the disposal of the former Italian
colonies. Lining up with the Arab
states in urging full independence
for Libya, Eban observed: Some

of our colleagues have expressed
surprise to see Israel supporting
the emergence of an eighth Arab
state after deriving such little en-
joyment from its relations with
the seven already existing. This"
he said, SIS because we regard
the prospect of eventual harmony
as immeasurably more important
and significant than the reality of
present diScord."
Attitudes such as this, which
Illuminated all Israel activities at
its first full Assembly session,
augured we'll, in the opinion of
observers here, for the future of
its newest member in the work of
the United Nations.

"A SHARE I'M

Before Aaron Ranabowitch lost

day and practices with steady if

and narrowing experiences made
this simple man a deep cynic .
He lost faith in God and man
How could there be thought of
any sanctity in a world which
stood Indifferent while the mon
ster was slaughtering six million
of his people, he thought He
began to brood and in his brood
ing he lost even the small faith
men generally have in their fell
low beings :. When he got a job
as carpenter apprentice to one
Buxbaum in Tel Aviv he was
only happy to the extent that he
gained degree of financial indie
pendence One day while at
work he began criticizing the Is
raeG government, its policies, its
conduct In bitterness he
broke into a TRADE against God
=. When his employer asked him
if he believed in paradise" and
in the world to come his mo" was
accompanied by bitter sheer
His employer, a religious man,
asked RanaboWitch whether he
would sell his share in the world
to come . You can have it for
pound, was the reply AS
the men were testing Ranabo-
witch said he thought so little of
the world to come that he would
sell it to his employer for half
the price he originally quoted
Buxbaum took the matter seri-
ously, gave him the money and
the men signed an official agree
ment This happened some
three months ago :. Time pass
ed and nothing was said Bux-
baum was happy that he would
get larger portion of paradise
The seller was pleased too =. In
fact he thought man fool who
would surrender money for such
non-existent commodity as para

prentice was seized by regret g. :.

Bad dreams tortured him He

His ancestors narrowed him in

T.. He was troubled by a per

made a bargain Buxbaum
would not yield He had
bought a rare privilege and he
wasn't going to be done out of it
by man who is a confessed I'M
believer When Ranabowitch
kept on insisting that the contract
be broken Buxbaum suggested
that the dispute go to rabbini-
cal court The hearing was
held Buxbaum had a legal
contract His apprentice a
moral claim The rabbis could
not undo a contract . . But fin

Republican caution. of course
stems from the fact that they lost
to President Truman the farm
States which had so long been
their heartland. Regaining farmer
confidence is vital to the party
which has alienated labor and
rendered itself suspect to minori-
ties by its alliance with the South

It's 80th Congress had coasted
on the fact that farm prices still
were high. forgetting that the

Objections to the construction
of a supercarrier do not come

from the diplomats. 1t is esti-
mated that the work and ma

required for production of tanks
and guns for at least two armored
divisions.
Since there is tentative agree
ment already between the men,

the event of emergency all of their
resources will be pooled for COM
mon defense, the building of a
large French aircraft carrier would
appear unnecessary.
II the French need such war

staff at Fontainebleau recognize
that necessity. we have enough
smaller carriers in moth balls to

Despairing of congressional ex-

Representative Hope had gotten

government commissions created
by Congress to administer. as
agents of Congress, laws enacted
by Congress to protect the public
interest.
In this second field, big indus
trial and financial interests are
alert today. as always, to try to
mould these commissions to their
particular and special viewpoint.
This they do by bringing pressure
on the Senate for or against con-
firmation of appointments to such
commissions by the President.
Now, in two notable current cases,
they are in opposition. for Presi-
dent Truman has been conscious
of the public responsibility of
these commissions in his appoin-
tees.
Buchanan Bottled Up.
One, discussed here before, is
his nomination Of Thomas c. Bu-
chanan of Pennsylvania to the
Federal Power Commission. which
is delegated to protect the public
at large in electric and gas
rates. Electric and natural gas
utilities have been able to bottle
up his nomination in the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee
| for months.
Now the big special interests are
starting to roll out their thunder

ganda available to them against

son administration to administer
statutes against monopoly and un.

tect the public and honest busi-
ness.
Many Of us have known Johr
Carson for years-a quarter of 9
century-as an able and thorough
newspaperman with a passion fol
facts; as secretary to the late
Senator James Couzens. Republi-
can, Michigan, for whom he was q
strong right arm in effective and
courageous public service: as con-
sumer's counsel to the Bituminous
Coal Commission, in which he was
Jealous for the public interest, and
In recent years as director of re-
search and information for the
Cooperative League of the United
States.
Knows Facts of Economy.
John Carson's major crime
seems to be intellectual curiosity
Another crime seems to be that he
has been a public servant, in one
capacity or another, all of his ma
ture life. In that capacity he has
learned the facts of our economic
life. how inequalities are created
and who creates them.
Some of his enemies have dug
up against him, out Of context, a
statement he made before a spe-
cial Senate Committee on Eco
nomic Planning in 1945 to the
effect that "the world of COM
petitive capitalism began to have
its death rattles In 1929 and 1t
has been In convulsions ever
since" Without attempting to
speak for Mr.. Carson. who is quite
capable of speaking for himself. 1t
might be suggested that he was
merely stating fact.
Our people and our Congress
recognized this grim fact by nu-
merous measures to readjust our
capitalistic economy to modern
conditions during the l930s. In
which John Carson had his part
though always with an indepen-
dent mind and with criticism of
some things that were attempted
to rescue our economy.
John Carson is just the sort OF
eyes. ears. mind and conscience
the public needs on the Federal
Trade Commission. He is a SYM
boil about which the public can
rally in the continuing battle for
economic justice.
