Czechs See New Red Bloc
Squirting Trade with West
By the Associotsd press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Jan. 70.
The Czechoslovak Communist
Party newspaper asserted today that
RusSia's Economic Council for Mu-
tual aid will stimulate Czech trade
with the West.
The newspaper, Rude Pravo, gave
the first authoritative Czech COM
ment on the new plan. This was
an article signed by L. Frejka, chair
man Of the economic section of the
office of President Klement Gott-
wald.
we want in the first place to
speed up our economic progress"
Frejka wrote. Secondly We want
to paralyZe the discriminative pol
icy of the United States against us.
This broadened economic CO.
operation of ours, however, is not
in contradiction with further de-
velopment of economic ties with the
West. The quicker our progress in
home economy, the greater is the
possibility of trade with the West"

Outlook
For Employment Has
Effect on Mass Sales
By J. B. WoIoch
North American Newspaper AIIione.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Unfavor
able employment prospects put con.
sumer markets in new light, ane
unquestionably will be carefully con.
sidered by executives charged with
the responsibility for mapping sale!
plans. In the main, mass market!
seem most likely to be affected by
the adverse trend in employment.
Labor economists have forecast
that unemployment will aggregate
3,500,090 by spring. They believe
that the loss Of 100000 jobs in the
past three months warrants a pessi-
mistic outlook and see no immediate
hope of improvement.
Priced Out of Markets.
Layoffs have been occasioned by
decisions to reduce inventories ano
curtail or suspend operations be-
cause of lack or orders. Change
overs have cut into payrolls, too
Labor leaders and management
however, agree that a major factor
has been the pricing of goods out
of their markets.
Sales executives are deeply con-
cerned about psychological reactions
to the employment trend. Wage
earners retrench In purchasing when
they experience sense of job in
security. Thus, the loss of one jot
can easily affect the spending Of
numerous others still employed.
Unless prices can be lowered ap.
preciably, it is believed consumer re.
sistance will not abate Since radi-
cal adjustments do not appear to be
feasible at this time, Stiffened re.
sistance Is anticipated and with Il
further decreases in consumption
and employment.

Any contraction of domestic mar.
kets will serve to intensity compe-
tition within them and result ir
further elimination of marginal pro-
ducers. A corollary would be con-
centration of business among the
lowest-cost producers in various
consumers goods fields.
This, in turn, would lead to Q
spotty employment picture, and con.

 And how the steelworkers fare on their fourth round demands may well become a pattern for all industry. It has happened that way before.
 A million steelwOrkerS called off plans for a Walkout to begin Friday midnight when the indus try's giants, including U. s. Steel, reluctantly gave in to the admin istration's 60-day strike truce plan.
 MT. Truman appointed Carroll R. Daugherty, Northwestern Uni Versity professor of business eco monies, as chairman of the impar- ital panel. Serving with him will be Judge Samuel l. Roseman, for mer White House adviser, and Da- Vid L. Cole, Paterson, N. J., labor relations expert who has served on other labor fact-finding boards.
 The President, relieved by ac- ceptance of his peace plan by big and little steel firms, won some thing in his exchange with the in- dustrial giants. He was able to by pass the Taft-Hartley act in deal ing with a major labor crisis.
 The three-man board has until August 30 to make it's settlement recommendations to the White House. The truce $ 10 continue to Sep. II.

Kansas Repeals
 70 Year-Old Bone Dry Liquor Law

TOPEKA, Kas. CP)-LQiuOr will go on sale LEGALLY in Kan sas this week.
 It will mark the end of an era of colorful crusading and multi million dollar bootlegging ousl- ness in this longtime stronghold of prohibition.
 For almost 70 years the sale of liquor has been banned in Kansas by the State Constitution. And for 32 years the State bone dry law made possession of SO much as a thimbleful of liquor punishable by a jail sentence.
 But, last November Kansans voted 422, ,294 to 358,3IO to repeal prohibition.
 After a two months struggle, mainly to retain local option, the legislature passed liquor control act. l. wiped the bone dry law from the statute books
 Then followed four months Of feverIsh work to establish q con trol and licensing set-up.
 Late today, the state liquor con trol office will mai out Licenses for more than 26O privately owned stores to retail liquor or high pc" cent beer. Beer of less than B. per cent alcohol was legaMzed jn 1887.
 Kansas desertion of prohibition leaves liquor illegal only .n Okla hOma and Mississippi.

Armed Mob Storm Florida Jail To Lynch 2 Negroes

GROVELAND, Fla. (P)- Ten sion gradually eased today after touchy weekend which saw an armed mob try to take two Ne groes out of jail. National guard troops moved in to maintain order in this central Florida town, but left early today.
 A touch of the Ku KluX Klan was here too. Pamphlets titled Ideals of the Ku Klux Klan" were tossed from a group of about 20 cars which passed through.
 Residents said three or four men were in each car; none wore the traditional klan hoods and robes.
 Sheriff w. Mccall, who quieted the mob of about 100 men that gathered at the country court house in Tavares Saturday night. said he wasn't around when the klan literature was tossed.
 The two Negroes had been moved to another jail before the mob arrived, Mccall reported be- cause he expected trouble. They were arrested on an open charge in connection with the robbery of a white man and the Kidnapping and subsequent rape of his wife early Saturday.
 Sheriff Mccall said the men who marched to the jail were arm ed ito the gilIS."

Many Subversive Agents Given Visas To Enter U. $.

WASHlNGION, (R)-The Cen tral Intelligency Agency reported to Congress Saturday that 32 rep resentatives of foreign govern mentS given visas to enter this country have records of spy work abroad.
 These 32 are among 100 foreign representative about whom a Senate judiciary subcommittee questioned the CHA.
 In the same group, the intelli- gence agency reported, are 29 per sons listed as high-ranking com munist party officials.
 Rear Adm. Roscoe H. Hillen- kOetter, CHA. director, wrote the committee that Fl of the individ- uals involved "have reportedly or allegedly been engaged in active communist organizational work of an underground or subVersive na- ture outside their homelands."
 Hillenkoetter made it plain that he was reporting only on activities of the 100 in countries outside the United States. He noted that the CHA. has no police or enforce ment powers within this country. Records of activities here would have to come from the F.B.I. and other agencies, he said
 The subcommittee, headed by Senator McCarran D.-NevD heard also that the state department has permitted about 10 aliens to enter this country despite recommends tions by its visa division that their admission would be against the security interests of the United States.
 John E. Peurifoy, deputy under secretary of state, gave this infor- nation.
 Peurifoy went before the sub committee in its study of legisla- ton to bar subversive aliens from this country. His views were pre- sented in writing in reply to ques- tionS asked the state department.
 Attorney general Tom Clark re- vealed Friday that more than a score of foreigners attached to the United Nations headquarters in New York are under investigation by the justice department.
 His disclosure came in answer to questions by the Senate judici- ary subcommittee.

 Special dispatch to The Examiner
 VANCOUVER, B. C., June IT. The steamer Alpha arrived to- night from Cape Nome after one of the most terrible and yet luck fest voyages on record. She made eight thousand miles without an accident, and for over one thou sand miles forced her way through pack ice. She was a month ahead of other boats from Puget Sound. and Capt. BurkhOltz says he would never attempt the trip again for any amount of money.
 Five days she was hemmed in with ice flOes and expected at any time to be crushed to pieces. The smashing of the floes in the vicin- ity could be heard like thunder
 The Alpha brings five passen- gers only and S3OO,OO0 worth of gold dust. J. E. Monaghan of Den yer, Colo, has S145,000, while Jack Kill, a Seattle butcher, has S8O,OO0. TOpcOck Creek is the big geSt find of the season in Nome Out of one claim Sl5,000 was taken in a week, and the claim yielded S56,0O0 in all,
 Food was very high when the Alpha arrived, and her appear ance was hailed with delight She discharged, however, in contra ventiOn of custom laws, having cleared for St Michael, but the point was waived.
 Passengers say if was only by direct intervention of Providence that Nome City was not swept away by fire on May 25th. Work on mining claims was entirely suspended during March on ac- count of a cold, snap. So-callcd Golden Gate district is turning out remarkably well.

Saving els From Failure

From the statistical standpoint the
mall-business-loan phase of the aid-to-
veterans program may seem to be tagging.
Whereas it had been estimated originally
that more than nine hundred thousand
former GIs would Jump at the chance
to 60 into business with Government
help, the records show that only few
more than one hundred thousand appli-
cations have been approved by the Vet
erans' Administration -S
But the disparity between prediction
and performance does not mean that the
business-loan plan has been failure. 1t
means simply that the Veterans Admin
istration, with the aid of the Nations
banks, has been protecting former serv-
icemen from becoming victims of too
enthusiastic schemes leading to bank
ruptcy and establishment. Many vet
Grams have their local bankers to thank
for saving them from embarking on VEN
lures doomed to fail.
The bankers were placed in a difficult
position by the CT loan legislation. Sec
ton 500 of the act prohibited banks from
lending money under its provisions unless
"the ability and experience of the vet
eran, and the conditions under which he
proposes to pursue such business or occu-
patton, are such that there is reason
able likelihood that he will be successful
:. :" An article in the current issue Of
Nations Business quotes VA officials as
declaring that the bankers, acting under
authority of the limitation, have done
magnificent job saving the veteran
from disaster" 20
That many veterans were disappointed
when they found the business loans were
not just another Government handout
was understandable. Had they taken the
trouble to read the law, however, they
would have found that this was strictly
business proposition, with private bank
ing handling the loans and the Federal
Government guaranteeing only half the
loan to maximum of two thousand dol
lars. The veteran would have to pay the
remainder In case Of default. Local bank
ers therefore screened the applications
carefully-for the protection of the GIs
as well as Of themselves. The go-slow
policy has proved to be wise one. And
Congress should 60 slow in weighing re-
current proposals to liberalize the CT
loan provisions

Frozen Air Funds

It may be, as some critics contend, that
the President has assumed . potentially
dangerous measure Of questionable author
ity in deciding not to spend some
$751;, $1,000 voted by Congress for So
group Air Force. Possibly this establishes
q precedent which may lead to serious
abuses. This newspaper believes, how
ever, that Mr.. Truman's decision was
dictated by a genuine regard for the best
interests of the country, and that his
decision probably was the right one.
ANY proposal to strengthen the national
defense which can command the support
Of the House by vote Of sos to is
entitled to respect. And no President
should lightly disregard such an express
sion of sentiment from the legislative
body which presumably Is closest to the
people and their wishes. But Mr.. Truman
has not acted from merely personal
disagreement.
The administration requested funds for
a 4s-group Air Force. This was not some
thing that was plucked out OF the air.
It was Endorsed by the Joint Chiefs of
STAFF, and there can be no doubt that they
gave full weight to the requirements of
the national security. It was recommended
by the Budget Bureau, which has to adjust
the amount of money that can be spent
on one service to the overall budget
requirements and to the total burden that
can reasonably be imposed on the tax
payers. Finally, the President has said
that careful account also was taken Of
this Nations position in the world" before
the 48-group establishment was decided
on. Presumably this means that the
President with access to sources OF in
formation not available to the House, has
satisfied himself that there Is no inmedi-
ate military threat to the country which
would justify the sacrifices that would be
necessary to 60 ahead now with 58-group
program.
OF course, this involves calculations
about which there can be no certainty.
A risk has been taken by the President.
and 1t may be shown that his judgment
was wrong. But the point Is that risks
have to be taken. To be ideally strong in
all departments would cost too much money
and impose too great strain on the
national economy. There is at least some
reason to suspect that the Russians would
like to see us spend 30 much on purely
military measures that vs could not tor
