worked on the theory that pens
were as much the property Of the
Government as public parks, say,
and that he did not have any
right to hand them out as SOU

It seems to me that Congress
could effect a substantial saving
by passing a bill forbidding the
free distribution Of pens by the
President and other high officials.
Either that. or by passing q law
requiring that pencils instead of
pens be used In the signing Of
State documents.

Germany. like Britain, never
produced enough food to feed its

believe that workers must stick

Question Of Export Trade.
This has caused the British and
French government serious worry.
The Germans are going too fast,
they say. This must be stopped,
they insist, lest the Reich surpass
their own export trade. Western
European nations have been taken
as much by surprise by German
progress in economic and physical
rehabilitation as we were by the
Soviet atomic explosion.
France, Britain and the Benelux
countries had figured that it would
take Germany at least 10 years to
get on its feet again. Now they
realize all of a sudden that at the
present tempo Of its industry Ger

Western European governments on
speeding up dismantling of Ger

DR.. Bunche Highly
Praised By Dailies

WASHINGTON - amp - DIR.
Ralph J. Bunche, who has been
mentioned for post in the De-
partment of state, has been praised
by several White rallies in the
north and south in recent weeks.
One southern daily has suggested
that he be given some token of
honor for the successful handling
of the delicate Jewfsh-Arab issue.
The Washington Post, the News
Leader Richmond afternoon daily:
the Virginian-Pilot, morning news
paper in Norfolk; the News and OBJ
server of Raleigh, N. c. and other
White papers have praised the
grandson of a slave for his sue
cessful mission. -.
The Virginian-Pilot, edited by
Louis I. Jeffe, in a recent editorial
says many postwar diplomatic mis-
sions failed, but near the top Of
the successful small list, if not at
the head of the procession, is the
mission that DR.. Ralph Bunche took
over seven months ago upon the
assassination of Count Folke Berna-
dette.
After explaining the difficulty OF
Or. Bunche's task and the trying
circumstances under which he took

risk even of losing his slife and with
s'high courage, he Joined high tact,
intelligence and tenacity'' until the
lob was done, the editor says.
The liberal Virginia editor ends
his editorial with the suggestion that
a distinguished service medal OF
some sort is due Dr. Bunche, for
what he has already done.
1t is recalled that Gen. George Z.
Marshall failed in his mission to
China but was nevertheless elevated
to the post of secretary of the
