ency toward Russian partnership, on
the assumption that they would in time be
the masters of it.
It is not surprising, therefore, that week
end reports from Berlin emphasize that
provost German political figures feel that
France, Britain and the United States
together with the Bonn government-m
take positive action to counter the Soviet
puppet regime, which is armed, as our
latest note to Moscow declares with large
police force "well equipped with military
weapons" Just what the action should
be, however, is not clear. The only thing
clear is that threatened situation is in
the making and that the free West had

A Menucing Puppet

Regardless of the fact that it is obviously
the Kremlins baby, the new German Com
munist republic" cannot be laughed OH
as an inconsequential illegitimacy. On the
contrary, it has been brought forth in such
a way as to indicate that its Soviet creators
intend to exploit it to the full in an effort
to undermine the genuinely democratic
Bonn government and clear the road for
partitioned Germany's eventual unif1ca-
ton under Red totalitarian control.
Certainly, there can be no doubt that the
Kremlin attaches great Importance to this
latest of its puppets. A good indication
of that is the fact that Premier Stain has
taken special pains to shower it with his
personal praises. Although it is fraud,
although it has no legal basis, although it
Is designed solely and simply to serve Mos
eow he has hailed it as the government
of a nonresident unified, democratic,
peace-loving Germany" Then, wishing it
long life and prosperity, he has gone on to
say that "The experience Of the last war
has shown that the German and Soviet
peoples made the largest sacrifices in that
war, that both these peoples have the
largest potentialities in Europe to COM
plete great actions of world significance"
What great actions of world signii-
cance"? The ominous implication of
Stains words is that the Soviet Union
despite the fact that the Germans under
Hitler destroyed about 100000 Russians
looks forward to the day wher Germany
"a Red one, of course) will WORK hand in
glove with the U. s. s. r. to win control
of the whole of Europe and thus become
a towering menace to the free world be-
yond. In other words, what the Politburo
seems to have in mind is something like
a super-scale version of the Ribbentrop-
Molotov pact OF 1889, but with the Krenlin
dominating it so as to make the German
partner mere vassal. To that end, from
now on there probably will be series of
moves designed to discredit Bonn, build
fire under o-French-A American occu-
patton policies and tempt the Western
Germans to make some sort of deal with
the Communist puppet regime.
Thus, as limited at already, the Kremlin
may soon offer a peace treaty" to its
Berlin stooges. It may also come forward
with pact of alliance. In addition, 1t
may make show of withdrawing its troops
from the Red occupation zone, meanwhile
playing up to the German peoples natural
desire for unification and to the intense
nationalism still existing throughout the
divided country. The potential effective
ness of such moves ought not to be under
estimated. Though palpably fraudulent
and aimed only at the eventual sovietiza-
ton of all of Germany, they could exert
powerful influence, weakening the popu-
larity of the Bonn government, creating
numerous new difficulties for the Western
Powers and appealing strongly to the
many Germans who, though anti-Com-

Give Enouqh-Give More

A lot of hard work and good organization
have gone into preparation for the Com
munity Chest Federation's campaign now
getting under way. It Is difficult to make
comparisons in such matters. But to the
old hands in Community Chest work there
has been evident new spirit this year, a
new willingness by new groups of citizens
to leave nothing undone in the way OF
preparatory organization that will mean
success.
The results are indicated in some of the
statistics Six hundred "key men" for the
Business / unit-covering firms with fifteen
employees or more-have been enrolled and
are hard at work now, twice as many as
last year. There are 1000 men working on
the smaller business firms, three times as
many as last year. Altogether, about
10000 citizens have volunteered to give
their efforts in Chest solicitation. Through
them, last years $4,000 individual con-
tributors will be increased, it is hoped,
by at least 10000.
If these 10000 contributors can be added
this year to those who gave last year, and
If the average campaign gift Of about $40
of last year can be increased by at least 81,
the fund will be subscribed for the support
of the 102 agencies whose appeals are COM
bined in this single campaign.
Campaign authorities are correct in
telling the people what they want. What
they want is days take-home pay from
those whose income is under $4,000. They
do not want it in cash. They want 1t in
a pledge, breaking the gift into INSTALL
ments over the year, for it is easier to
give that way.
From those whose incomes exceed S., ,0OU,
they have set per cent of gross salary as
the reasonable amount. And they are ask
ing firms to measure their gifts In some
relation to their volume of business, and
with full realization that this combined
appeal is made in the name of 102 agencies.
If good citizens of Washington and the
Metropolitan Area will follow these sug-
gestions as guides, the community response
will be In keeping with the need.
The drive this year has been so carefully
planned and has brought together in this
great volunteer effort so many men and
women of good WILL that it is opening with
high expectations of success which ought
. to be realized.

The Lehmun-DuIIes Race

Political prognosticators have lost no
time in looking for omens in the New York
City and upstate registration for next
months mayoralty and senatorial elec-
tions. AS Is customary in such matters,
each OF the contending parties has hailed
the figures as pretty good sign that 1t is
going to win.
But more objective observers seem less
inclined to make any hard-and-fast pre-
dictions. The one fact all can agree upon
is that the registration has been heavy
and that 1t reflects lively and wholesome
interest on the part of the electorate.
Beyond that, however, opinions are rather
cautious, though they lean toward Demo-
cratic Mayor O'Dwyer for reelection in
New York City, and toward former Demo-
cratic Governor Lehman in his race to
supplant Republican John Foster Dulles
in the United States Senate.
The Lehman-Dulles contest has natu-
rally stirred up considerable national inter-
est. In the course of their campaigns, the
two men have offered what may prove to
be a preview of the 1852 presidential
debate. Mr.. Lehman has come out squarely
for the Fair Deal-for broadened social
security, for Federal aid to education, for
repeal of the Taft Hartley Act, etc.
Against this, moving farther to the right
than many Of his fellow Republicans
including his colleague Senator Ives-Mr
Dulles has hammered hard at "statism," !"
coming out fatty against such things as
"socialized" medicine and Federal aid to
education. He has also indicated that he
favors only slight modification of present
labor legislation.
Although he does not speak for the
whole Republican organization, Mr.. Dulles
has in effect made his bid for election on
a personal COP platform that says any
thing but "me, too," to the domestic policies
of President Truman's Fair Deal. Essen
TALLY, he has campaigned as a conserva-
tive promising to fight against what he
regards as trend toward "statism" in
things like Federal subsidies to individuals
and schools. Needless to say, If he wins
on that basis, his party will have reason
to wonder whether it ought not to try the
same line in the national contests next
year and in 1852.
BY the same token, If MIR. Lehman wins,
the Fair Deal Democrats will view the
victory as further evidence that they are
offering what the people want and that
they will come out on top in the 1850 and

Questioning School Children

The circumstances of particular case,
not some inflexible rule, should determine
whether the police will be permitted to
question school children in connection
with 4 crime
In routine Investigations, 1t would be
manifestly improper to permit the police
to question children in school during school
hours. And this would be all the more true
If the officers were investigating some
minor offense in which some of the chill
dren might be involved. The proper place
for that kind Of interrogation is in the
home in the presence of the parents.
But the incident which prompted Police
Chief Barrett's letter OF complaint to the
District Commissioners relates to an en-
tirely different type of case This investi-
cation concerns the vicious murder OF
Harrison Walker, an eight-year-old school
boy. With little to work on the police,
as is their duty, have been running down
all possible clues which might lead them
to the murderer. They wanted to inter-
view the children at the school attended
by the Walker child in general assembly,
but were not permitted to do so.

that the children should be interviewed
at their homes, burdensome and time
consuming process. In justification of the
refusal 25-year-old rule" is cited, and
1t is also claimed that the children might
be psychologically harmed II interviewed
in an assembly.
This is not impressive. Assuming that
proper questions were asked in a proper
way, and this could be done in agreement
between the police and school officials, it
is hard to see why mass interview would
be more harmful psychologically than in
dividual interviews, If, indeed, there
would be any harmful results from either
procedure. The fact that has been lost
sight OF in this dispute between the school
authorities and the police is that vicious
murder has been committed and that the
killer is still at large. No school child will
be entirely safe until he is caught, and
everything within reason should be done
to cooperate with the police to this end.

Champion Of Railroads
Disputes Letter Writer Lehman
To the Editor Of The Star:


I don't know who Aug. A. Lebmann Is.
Perhaps he represents some trucking 1n-
terest. His letter In The Star Of September
20 comparing transportation by truck with
that by railroad is interesting and quite
amusing. Let me say here that I have
Government job far removed from anything
connected with transportation in any form
Without being able to quote any nice
round figures, such as 100 streamlined
trains" as suggested by Mr.. Lehman. I
have cleaned from casual reading OF various
periodicals that some first class railroads
are now on sounder footing than at any time
In recent years. And I believe that railroad
engineers spend great deal of time and
study in the proper banking and curvature
of roadbeds so that high speeds may be
maintained safely. AS to the .. ragged
edge bursts up to IS miles an hour" that Mr..
Lebmann mentions, a curSory examination
Of published time tables and official railroad
time cards, showing schedules Of through
freight and passenger trains tells a different
story. And certainly the safety records Of
the Nations railroads as recently published
in The Star prove that trains are not oper-
ated at double the speed that insures
safety, comfort and economy"
AS to diesel trucks speeding 100 miles an
hour (another nice round fgure) in Western
States, where is the safety factor in that

vehicle that must share the road with those

them as they speed up on the down grades.
(Speaking of highway grades and curves,

Railroads are heavily taxed and those

China in the u. N.

In de facto sense, with its armies con-
tinuing to advance against virtually no
opposition, the Communist regime now has
military control of most of China In addi-
tion, with its leaders openly and enthusi-
astically dedicated to the Kremlin, it has
been recognized by the Soviet Union as
the country's only government.
BY way OF contrast, as far as the non
Soviet world is concerned, the Nationalist
regime is still recognized as China's sole
legitimate governing authority. Yet, de
facto, 1t has lost the ability to govern in
the vast areas now occupied by the
Moscow serving Chinese Communists.
Moreover, 1t is so hard pressed militarily
much of the mainland territory still re-
naming under its control.
Wholly apart from what this situation
may mean in terms of the long-range
balance Of power in Asia, it opens the way
to a legal snarl in the United Nations.
China Is one of the Big Five. Along with
France, Britain, Russia and the United
States, it has veto right in the Security
Council. But what will happen If the Red
regime at Peiping-insisting, with some
cogency, that the Nationalists do not exist
as an effectiye government-ask to be
seated in the q. N? What If this bid is
backed by the Soviet bloc and rejected by
everybody else?
OF course. it is not impossible that there
will be such complete Nationalist col
lapse that the hard realities of the situa-
ton will lead to a universal recognition
of the Chinese Communist regime. In that
case, although the countrys present repre-
sentatives might claim that they still had
the power to veto an custer move, change
in China's U. N. representation could be
carried out simply enough with the result
that the Russians would then be able to
capitalize on whatever gain there might
be in being able to count on the support
of puppet in the Security Council. But
If either France, Britain or the United
States, as member of the Big Five, con-
tinued to recognize the Nationalists and
held out against the Peiping Reds, the
Council-whose affirmative decisions must
have the Five's unanimous backing-could
take no valid action, could not function
within the legal framework of the United
Nations Charter, could only suffer paralysis
and confusion thrice confounded.
Up to now, neither the Chinese Com
munists nor their Soviet masters have
indicated that they intend to make an
early bid for change in China's repre-
sentation. Sooner or later, however, such
a step is bound to be taken. Thus, both
for our own country and the non-Soviet
world as whole, the situation-as 1t bears
upon the functioning of the u N-prom-
ises to raise difficult problem in the not
distant future. On the one hand, If we
recognize the Peiping regime, we will be
lending aid and comfort to puppet not
truly representative Of the people of China
On the other hand, if we do not recognize
1t, we will be creating a crisis in the
United Nations. The choice between these
two courses will almost certainly have to
be made one OF these days. There seems
no way of dodging it. 1t is a thing that
probably will have to be done largely on
the basis of expediency.
