In that election there was re-

President Truman that there was
an imminent threat of China be-
coming wholly Communication
mated, particularly If Manchuria
were permitted to fall to the Reds;
that a Communist China would
be inimical to American strategic
interests. that five-year program
of moral, economic and material
aid should be undertaken
Strengthening military assistance
already going to the Nationallsts)
and that this aid program. should
be coupled with drastic reforms
both in the Nationalist government
and the army which would solve
to some extent China's age-old
problems of graft and inefficiency
The State Departments White
Paper gives no indication that
any effort was made to put the
Wedemeyer recommendations into
effect. but makes it clear that the
standing policy of wait and see'
was persisted in up to the present
time, when the Nationalist gov
ernment has practically collapsed
before the Communist advances.
Findings Kept From Public.
Not only were the recommended
tions ignored as a course of policy
for the American Government, but
the American people were denied
factual knowledge of Gen. Wede-
meyers findings by official sup
preston of the report, on the ex-
cuse-which friends of Nationalist
China will find pretty thin-that
the regime of Chang Kai-shek
would have been offended seri-
ously by Gen. Wedemeyer's pro-
posal for a trusteeship over Man
churia as a means of halting
Communist expansion.
Gen. Wedemeyer believed that
China could be saved and he made
proposals which, if carried out. at
least would have stemmed the tide
of communism in this vast part OF
Asia if it did not completely ex-
tirpate it. His report shows his

belief that our full-scale support
to the Nationalists might impel
Russia to even greater assistance
to the Communists than she had
been giving. and the consequent
possibility of a third world war
This, in his view. was a calculated
risk which should be taken in
order to check the advance OF a
system which had demonstrated
it's complete incompatibility with
the Western nations.
The Presidents special investi-
gator expressed the view that the
loss of Manchuria to the Com
munists would mean the creation
of a new Soviet satellite and the
eventual fall of all China to Mos
cows puppets. This is now in
process of being accomplished
Manchuria fell to the Reds lone
ago and is firmly in their grasp
But since then they have taken
Peiping. Marking. and Shanghai
and now are on their way to the
conquest of all South China
whose metropolis is Canton.
Course Not Explained.
Secretary of State Acheson does
not explain why the State Depart
ment, even after receiving Gen.
Wedemeyers report. pursued its
same old course of obstructing
every proposed measure to help
the Nationalists.
That is where the burden of re-
sponsibility will fall. To send a
top ranking general, who was
familiar with the Chinese situa-
ton from World War II days. to
make an investigation and then
to ignore completely his advice in
favor of the slanted opinions of
State Department functionaries
ranks as a major blunder which
cannot be explained anyway.
The question now is whether 1t
is too late to do something about
the Wedemeyer report and to
apply the recommendations he
made. 1t is too late, of course, to
do anything about Manchuria
but it is not too late for the United
States. with its resources, to step
into the Chinese picture and to
throw it's weight against any fur
ther progress by the Communist
armies.
AS Mr.. Acheson makes clear in
his letter of transmittal of the
White Paper to President Truman,
American policy is being reworked
to fit into the realities of the Far
Eastern situation. If this means
adoption of the policy of active
help to those Chinese who will
fight the Reds-and Gen. Wede-
meyer makes it clear that the
Chinese people do not want COM
munism-the new policy will be
applauded on all sides. 1t it means
simply vague moral support to
passive resistance the policy will
fail.

Miss CockriI| Sworn
As Juvenile Judqe

Miss Edith H. Cockrill was
sworn in as the Districts new Judge
of Juvenile Court in ceremonies
attended by her family and nearly
200 friends in the courthouse
yesterday.
The 35-year-old former Gov
ernment attorney took the oath
administered by Chief Judge

Court of Appeals. Miss Cockrill
occupies a bench that has been
without a permanent jurist since
last September, when Judge Fay
Bentley went on sick leave. Judges
of the Municipal Court have been
presiding there in the interim.
Judge Cayton, in his speech OF
welcome, declared he was satisfied
that "the lives, liberties and pre-
cious futures of our young citizens
will be protected" by Judge Cock
rill's court.
The new judge also was well
coined by Municipal Court Judge
Nadine L. Gallagher, who has
presided over Juvenile Court for
the past six months, and by Rep
resentative Cooper, Democrat, of
Tennessee, Judge Cockrill's home
State.
Assistant Attorney General H.
Graham Morrison, also originally
of Tennessee, presented the COM
mission of judgeship. Mr.. Morrison
outlined Judge Cockrill's sociolog-
ical and legal training, which in
cluded studies at the University

Just after the ceremonies Judge
Cockrill told reporters that, as the
new judge. she planned to work
along as things have been going"
in the court. She said she has
been sitting, as an observer, with
Judge Gallagher for the past week.
She will take the bench alone for
the first time Monday.

To Cut Movie Pay

LONDON. Aug. 6.-British film
dom's middle class let out loud

Star Margaret Lockwood's re-
action was typical of those in
the big-money brackets.
The difference between 10000

Unionized workers are un-
affected unless their wages are
above scale. Then the producers
will ask them to step up and take
voluntary cut.
Contract Players Affected.
The British Film Producers AS
sociation said its members have
already agreed to apply the cuts
to players not under contract.
Stars under contract will be
tackled individually, the associa-
ton said.
Bill Hartnell told reporter:
"One big problem in the industry
here is the high cost of studio
space. A producer has to lay
f1,000 pounds on the line before
he even begins to engage an artist
or a technician. If costs have to
come down, why do I have to take
it on the chin?"
