"Ohio Republicans and
other supporters of an out
standing public figure and a
senator with fearless mind
and sensible foresight had
better listen to this war
whoop. They and we, bet
against the effectiveness of
P. A. c. last fall. The recent
account in these columns,
how the United Steel Work
ers unit alone swept up its
vote for President Truman,
should convince citizens that
the P. A. c. is recognizable
potent and Woodworking pol
itical force by now.
''The only answer to it is to
organize to protect Senator
Taft's reelection now - to
work up a Taft campaign the
like of which Republicans OF
Ohio have not put on for
years. We are not now sell

are in the battle and must re-

We would like to say this,
The Taft forces are more than
politically wise, they are a well
organized group and planned
two months ago to set up their
campaign. In the last two weeks
they have begun to move. But
we can expect two things, the
campaign will be well heeled
and undoubtedly will have tre-
mendous press support.
Now is the time for us to

Army Expects Aitition
To End 0versuppIy Of
Lieutenants, Captains

The Army figures 1t has too
many first lieutenants and cap
tains in proportion to its over
all officer strength, but personnel
officers said yesterday. they ex-
pected the normal attrition rate
In those ranks to remedy the sit
uation.
There is no plan TO relieve any
officers from duty because Of the
lack Of balance. and designations.
requests for inactive duty, deaths,
ETC.. are slowly changing the pic
ture.
A shortage Of second heuten-
ants and Northumberland has
provided the service with sum-
Gent funds to keep officers on
duty in over-supplied ranks, and
the overall total Is below the
figure set forth In President Tru-
mans budget for the fiscal year
beginning July /.
Only second lieutenants are
being sought by the Army at
present and efforts to obtain men
IN that rank have not met with
much success. The so-called dis
tinguished graduate program,
under which colleges and univer-
stiles recommend for commits
sions students who are highly pro-
ficient in military science and
other subjects. has been dis
appointing. Only 100 Of 1000
recommended recently preferred
to pass UP private Jobs and accept
commissions.
Both the officer strength and
the enlisted strength Of the Army
now are below expected budget
restrictions. There are 1900 Of
ficers less than the 10000 al
lowable under Mr.. Truman's
budget and the overall strength
is about 5000 below the $1,000
planned.
Like all personnel problems Of
the armed services at present,
officials are inclined to blame the
situation on the pay structure.
To back this up they point out
re-enlistment rates are not what
they should be. In the Army that.
rate Is running from Is per cent
to 80 per cent compared with
go per cent to 10 per cent before
the war. The Navy rate Is 1914
per cent compared with as high
as 30 per cent In the l930s.

Spiritual Basis of Peace

To the Editor Of The STAR
Most of us imagine that, if only there
were no Communist threat. then, with uni
versal peace at hand everybody would be
happy, and the millennium would be right
here.
We think this only because we always
have difficulty in realizing the immense
frailty of human nature. We forget that
men learn their greatest lessons in sorrow
and adversely. Even in the field of finance
we tend to get most heavily in debt during
prosperous times and to pay of most debts
when money is scarce!
Altogether, God is every bit as willing to
bless us as we deserve. Once the world
deserves universal peace, it will come with
out delay But the world cannot possibly
deserve universal peace until it is fit for it.
And it cannot be fit for universal peace un-
til, as the historian Toynbee says, civiliza-
ton is placed back upon spiritual founda-
ton. Only then will universal peace enable
mankind to grow to greater spiritual stat
ure, rather than let himself go all the more
completely in the many paths Of progressive
decadence which we already see him enter
ing upon.
Only when conscience really becomes
mans guide can men hope for that peace
with themselves which Is utterly impossible
without peace with God.

hard to see wherein that type OF informa-
ton could bear significantly on the

But on the basis of the facts which

activities through the U. NJ, or any other

Gubitchev seems to have been something
less than bright in this instance, there
