ing in steel mill, or in similar industry
should be able to retire at sixty-five with
pension large enough to live on. And
1t would be absurd to contend that $100
month is excessive, considering the pre-
yailing and prospective cost-of- Living
structure. Some Of the smaller companies
probably cannot afford as much as $1OO
month, and in their cases the amount
should be scaled down. But in all cases
the objective remains the same-namely,
to do as much as can be done to assist
worn-out workers in their old age
1t has been said, and it is true, that
1t would be preferable to pay adequate
pensions through the Social Security sys-
tenn. But that is something that is far
IN the future. Meanwhile, there is q
present need to be met, and 1t is to be
hoped that the rest of the industry will
follow Bethlehem's example and do the
best 1t can to this end

Know Your Enemy

Director J. Edgar Hoover OF the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, in accepting the
Theodore Roosevelt Distinguished Service
Medal, has given the Nation some good
advice on how to fight communism. He
believes the best way to combat this
enemy Of Americanism is to expose 1t to
the light of truth, to meet its lying propa-
ganda with facts.
During the late war allied fighters were
exhorted to know your enemy" Mr..
Hoover's thesis Is that this admonition
still Is good one for the American
people to heed. In this attitude he is
Joined by the Educational Policies Com
mission of the National Education Asso-
citation, which has held that the schools
should not neglect to teach what COM
munism is~-without, of course, preaching
the doctrine. The commission would rid
the schools of Communist teachers, lest
the teaching take on the aspect of
preaching.
"A complete knowledge and under
standing of Communist aims, techniques
and plans is a sure way to fight this
menace" Mr.. Hoover said. Under the
searchlight of such knowledge and under
standing the recruiting campaign of nth
column plotters should find the going
hard, indeed.

Steel Strike Breuk

The agreement reached between Philip
Murray and the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration is a reasonable adjustment of a
dispute which should have been settled
long ago.
Both sides have gained ground, although
the major concessions were made by
the corporation. The Bethlehem workers
are to receive minimum monthly PEN
sions of 500, including Social Security
payments, upon reaching age sixty-five
and after twenty i've years Of service. The
corporation viii bear the full cost Of pen
sions, although the payments to employees
with less than twenty Ave years Of service
will be smaller than 500. In It's turn,
the union has agreed that employees will
pay half Of five cents an hour for social
insurance. Mr.. Murray previously had
insisted that the industry pay the full
cost OF both pensions and social insurance.
Is recommended by the steel fact-dnding
board.
It was easier, perhaps, for Bethlehem to
make this deal with the union than 1t will
be for some other companies, since It al
ready had In effect q comparatively gener-
ous company-rhid insurance plan. In other
words, the settlement will not be as costly

Quirino's Anti-Red Union

Philippine President Elpidio Quirino's
new move In his policy of Communist con-
tatnment has interesting implications. He
first broaehed the idea oka common front
against communism in the Far East last
July after conference with Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek of Nationalist China. A
month later he made his well-remembered
visit to Washington, during which he
strongly advocated "a real union of
peoples around the Pacific" to resist Com
munist imperialism. At that time he
failed to get public assurance that our
Government would support his project,
one reason being that the administration
was In the process OF reformulating its
Far Eastern policy in the light of the
Chinese disaster and the emergence of a
Communist regime in that vast country.
And, thus far, our policy seems to be still
In the recasting stage.
Nevertheless, President Quirino persists
IN his endeavor, and he has just announced
that preliminary conference to organize
a "nonC Communist Union of Southeast
Asia" will be held in the Philippines
early next year. 1t also is known that
General Carlos P. Romulo, recently elected
president of the United Nations General
Assembly, has been doing some useful
spade work in sounding out various U. N.
delegations from Asiatic countries, and
the chances are that the President would
not have gone so far as to announce
q preliminary conference of interested
parties under his sponsorship unless he
had good grounds for believing that his
invitations would be accepted, with pros
poets Of favorable action from the con-
ference itself. Attendance would logically
include Nationalist China Southern Korea,
Siam, Burma, Ceylon, India Pakistan In
donesia and perhaps Wet Nam, the anti
Communist Indo-China regime recently
given virtual autonomy by France Aus
tralia and New Zealand, though not
technically Asiatic countries, would pre-
sumably attend conference In which
their vital interests were likewise involved.
Two major queries at once suggest them
selves. The first OF these is whether even
the common threat of Communist aggres-
sion can weld into effective action list
Of countries not only so widely sundered
geographically but with such diverse back
grounds and local interests. There is here
no such basic community as that which
impels the free nations of Europe and
the Americas to cohere against the Com
munist menace.
The second query is what attitude the
United States would take toward such an
association. Obviously, our sympathy and
support would be vitally needed, especially
on the economic side. And it may be
difficult to define the degree and scope
of our support until our diplomacy has
formulated a new Far Eastern policy. In
deed, the success of the conference called
by President Quirino would be factor
impelling and speeding up such formula
tion. At any rate, his initiative and per-
sistence should be welcomed In this
country as being in line with our national
interest

InexcusubIe TRAGEDY

It Is hardly accurate to speak OF the
midair crash which carried SIS people
aboard DC-4 to their deaths yesterday
as an accident For while the collision
was not Intentional, it was the kind of
tragedy that could have been prevented
by proper rules properly enforced.
To classify a P-38 as a civilian plane
and then let it use busy field like the
National Airport is to invite exactly the
kind OF disaster that occurred. The
Bolivian pilot who flew his fighter into the
passenger ship is described as the best
pilot in the Bolivian Air Force. Maybe so.
But If this is the case it strengthens the
argument for barring "hot" planes from
commercial fields. In clear weather, the
fighter pilot did not see the big passenger
ship. And, whether due to radio failure
or language difficulty, he apparently did
not hear the warnings from the control
tower.
If this sort Of thing can happen once
1t can happen again. The remedy is to
ban all kinds of combat planes, no matter
how they may be classified, and perhaps
private planes, from the busy National
Airport. Plane travel can never be made
entirely safe. But the safety factor is
greatest in the operation of passenger
planes, with their highly trained crews
and their superior equipment This safety
factor ought not to be deprecated by
bringing military and civilian planes into
the same field, and the sooner regulations
to this end are adopted and enforced the
less chance there will be for repetition
Of yesterdays inexcusable tragedy.

Of American breeds OF chicken. It re-

ton. as some Of the other large breeds. The
cock weighs Is pounds, and the hen, 10
pounds.
O. What is the greatest speed that has
been reached by wind?-E. D. F.
A. It is not possible to state the greatest
wind velocity because no instruments for
observing 1t survive the most intense winds.
The recording instruments cannot Withstand
their violence. Authorities believe there can
be no doubt that winds exceeding 200 miles
an hour and possibly reaching 500 miles an

Upon reading Of the tragic death of Ad-

profound Is the effect Of blindness
All Of our house-to-house salesmen are
handicapped by partial blindness. to the ex-
tent that they cannot work at any regular
jobs IN industry unless some employer makes
special arrangements for them These men
have made as little as dollar day on
bad days and yet they do not give up. The
products they carry for sale are made by
other persons who are totally blind; therefore,
these men feel they are doing good for some
one else as veil as helping themselves.
The spirit Of these men show as they 90
out IN the heat OF the summer and the cold
OF the winter gives me great faith in human
ity. Most Of our customers also appreciate
these facts and we wish to express our
gratitude. As long as our customers continue
