Today sofa beds and studio

which have a rumpus room motif.
An ideal arrangement would be
to use one or two of these in place

1t would also provide daytime
Longing facilities where Mother
could take a nap or the children
could spend after-school hours.
Perhaps best Of all, these double
duty pieces would take care Of ex
t1a guests by letting the rumpus
room double for a guest room.
Two sIuulo coucheS or SOFA beds
could take care Of four guests with
ease as they are simple to open
and pull out, becoming wen-built
beds which comfortably accommo-
date two persons each.
II a college student son or
daughter should bring friends
home for a weekend, the rumpus
room could be turned over to them

There are any number Of times
when an extra guest room would be
convenient so that family activi-
ties would not be upset by a doub-

PanaYn Tree

Papaya (Carica papaya), a large
treelike, herbaceous plant, pro-
duces an edible fruit that resem-
bles a melon, particularly a canta-
loup. 1t Is indigenous to tropical
America but has spread to many
other parts Of the tropics and as
far north as latitude 80 degrees.
The plant reaches a height Of IS Or
30 feet, looks something like a
palm, to which it Is not related,
and usually is without branches.
The large. deeply lobed leaves are
generally borne near the apex: the
fruits are clustered near the leaf
stems close to the woody. grayish
trunk. Papaya trees or plants are
easily propagated from seed and
grow rapidly. They begin to bear
fruit within 10 to IA months after
termination Of the seed but live
only 4 or years. They give best
results in regions having a warm
climate and deep. well-drained
loamy soils. Cool nights and ex-
cessive moisture. even in tropical
areas. are often unfavorable fac

Tokyo Spy Report

The report on the activities of pre-
Pearl Harbor Soviet spy ring IN Japan
proves beyond any possibility OF doubt that
the Army had better stay out OF the busl-
ness of exposing spies.
1t does not prove much more than that.
Certainly it does not even begin to prove
the accusation that Miss Agnes Smedley,
who has written several books on China,
has been exposed for what she is, spy
and agent of the Soviet government"
The report makes this charge without
the slightest qualification. There is moth
ing to indicate that either the author OF
the report or the anonymous Army au-
thority responsible for It's publication made
the slightest effort to locate Miss Smedley
and get her side of the story On the
contrary, the report even goes so far as
to insinuate that Miss Smedley has been
a fugitive, though she has been living
quite openly in her home at Palisades,
New Jersey.
Miss Smedley's attorney, o. John Rogge,
cannot be accused of overstatement when
he says the Arnly's indictment of his client
Is Outrageous" For it is precisely that
Although cognizant of her emphatic de-
NAL, The Star has no way of knowing
whether Miss smedley is or ever has been
an agent of the Soviet Union, or of any
other foreign government. And, actually,
the fact as to this is beside the point. For
the real point has to do with the basis, or
rather the lack of basis, for the Army's
accusation against her.
The spy expose is promised on state
ments allegedly made by members OF the
alleged spy ring after they had been caught
by the japanese authorities. There Is no
way of knowing the extent to which these
statements should be believed or rejected.
But at best they are the statements of
Soviet spies, certainly not very trustworthy
witnesses. And the most that can be
wrung from this evidence Is that there
may be some reason to believe that Miss
Smedley, at that time, was working for
the Russians against the japanese. Yet
the Army without offering a particle of
proof and apparently without trying to get
any, 1ndicts her in 1949 as being spy and
agent of the Soviet government. If that
Is not outrageous, then nothing Is.

Arqentinu's Economic Plight

OAA SoS~A
of goods and exports of capital focuses
attention upon the acute crisis which is
gripping that country's economic life. SO
drastic a measure would have been taken
only under the compulSion OF what was
felt to be the sternest necessity 1t Is gen.
orally interpreted as a temporary emer-
gency measure which gives the government
time to take stock of the situation and
decide what can and must be done to alter
g. course that threatens economic and
financial catastrophe.
Argentinas present plight Is a melan-
choly paradox. Economically, it is highly
favored nation. Nature itself designed
Argentina to be one of the worlds leading
producers of grains and meat Those po-
tentialities were developed during the past
century by combination of foreign capt.
tai and European immigrants. And the
resulting wealth was not depleted by in
volvement in either of the world wars. In
both conflicts Argentina remained neutral,
prof1ting immensely thereby. With huge
backlog of dollar and other foreign ex-
change at the close of World War II, and
with a postwar Europe clamoring hungrily
for its grain and meat, there seemed no
inherent reason why Argentina should not
remain both prosperous and stable.
Unfortunately, Argentina has been COM
promising its favored position by unsound
policies in both the foreign and domestic
fields. These errors stem from the regime
headed by Juan D. Peron. Though in
stalled by a military revolt in 1943, this
regime was more than mere change of
administration. Peron tnaugurated what
amounted to profound political, economic
and social revolution. Argentina has been
RAPIDLY transformed from liberal repub-
lie into what is virtually totalitarian
state with managed economy under rigid
official directives and controls. The aim
was to make Argentina the leading power
of South America in the shortest possible
time. The methods used were rapid ex-
pansion of industry and its naturalization
by buying out invested foreign capital,
control of exports and imports for the
profit of the state, and the building up
of a formidable military establishment.
Popular support for this ambitious pro-
gram was to be gained by favoring the
lower classes at the expense of the wealthy
elements.
All this, however, was tremendously
costly. Before long, the big backlog of
foreign exchange had been almost used
up, currency stability was undermined, an
infiationary price rise set in, while domes-
tic production was discouraged by con-
trolls and decreed wage rates out of line
with economic realities. In addition, the
handling of a complex managed economy
proved unwise, inept, and often corrupt.
The upshot Is the current economic crisis

and other items needed to return to business.
It seems to me that what America needs,
besides a good scent cigar. is a return to
the principles of the founding fathers They
wanted to build a country, homes and family
prosperity-they didn't expect to ask q
country to take care of them. 1t seems they
had sense and foresight enough to know
that a Government like ths-just as in the
case of our present one-would cost more
than it is worth. That kind of Government
sets up costly welfare agencies which waste
twice as much as we would have to pay to
do the job as we used to pay to do tat

ployes and make sure they were earning a
fair share Of their keep.

which must somehow be met on penalty OF
disaster.
The sole remedy would seem to be a
return to orthodox economic and financial
methods, involving showdown or reversal
of much of the program which has de-
ranged Argentina's economic life. But
this will not be easy. Furthermore it must
forfeit much of Peron's popularity with
the lower classes whom he has so sub
sidized and pampered. That could be po-
litical dynamite.
Argentina thus stands at crossroads.
Of course, the country is fundamentally
sound economically. This is the saving
element in the situation. It will be in
teresting to observe how the Peron regime
will maneuver in the sea of difficulties for
which it is mainly responsible

Soviet Treaty Record

To the Editor of The Star:
The Soviet government has offered a nom
aggression pact to the Norwegian govern
ment. Any one having an elementary juridical
sense will ask himself what such a bilateral
pact can add to the already existing obliga-
tions assumed under the United Nations
Charter by the two aforementioned coun-
tries in their capacity as members of that
organization. Indeed, we must not forget
that aggression is already prohibited by the
said charter.
AS for the moral value and the effective
ness Of nonaggression pacts concluded by the
Soviet Union. we have but to remember that,
though the U. S. S. R. had signed such pacts
lin which aggression had been defined for
the first time in detailed fashion, with each
OF its neighbors, those pacts have not pre-
vented Russias attacks against Poland, in
September 1889, and against Finland in the
winter of the same year; the annexation of
the three Baltic states in the summer of
1910 and, in June of the same year, under
threat of force, the seizure of Bessarabia and
Northern Bucovna from Rumania

We Are Open to Air Attack

The vulnerability of the United States
to sudden aerial attack is made alarm
ingly clear by the urgent Air Force request
for authority to install s161 100000 radar
network to provide an "irreducihle mini
mum" of protection for the Nation. That
we have lacked an adequate aircraft warm
ing system has been indicated by respon-
sble officials in the past Congress was
told last year by the Congressional Avia
ton Policy Board that 1T is imperative
that an air warning network be extended
in all directions from which an attack may
be expected"
1t is no secret that many of the radar
stations established during the war have
been abandoned, either because they we're
outmoded or for lack of personnel and
funds to keep them in active service. Some
of the old equipment would be restored
to duty under the Air Force plan presented
to Congress. More than hundred mil
lion dollars would have to be spent on
new facilities, however, If the "irreducible
minimum" of protection is to be attained.
Much better protection could be afforded
by a concentric series of detection stations,
capable of picking up enemy planes far
out from our shores and providing our
defense forces with reasonable period in
which to concentrate interceptor squad
rons. But such system would cost much
more than the sum asked and even then
would provide no absolute guarantee
against an undetected attack. Our mill
tary experts admit, moreover, that the
radar network, as now planned, would be
of little use against rockets of the W.
type, for radar's range is only about $50
miles.
What is planned is not really screen
around the whole country but a series of
detector stations located in areas most
likely to be in the path of an air attack
Thus, Alaska would be key outpost in
the Pacific. Canada would bear much of
the responsibility for guarding the north
ern Atlantic routes, through co-opera-
tive program already worked out with our
neighbors to the north The Navy would
play an important role, too, with radar
picket ships OF the type which served SO
