1t has been known in Informed
quarters in Washington that fol
the last few months Soviet agents
have been urging leading Germans
to organize a nationalist movement
with the view to reuniting the
Reich. These nationalists are not
Communist or even in sympathy
with Communist doctrine. But they
want to revive strong Germany
uniting the 100000 Germans into
single bloc instead of leaving them
to live Indefinitely under the sepa-
rate control of the four occupying
powers.
Moscow's scheme is as clear as
it is clever. It's agents have been
. preaching for some time the doc
trine of strong natural ties between
Germany and Russia. Moscow also
has been making extensive plans
which are expected to become pub
lie in the near future, under which
an Eastern German republic would
be created in the areas now occu-
pied by Russian troops.
Leipzig Seen as Capital.
This new republic is expected to
have its temporary capital at Leip-
zig and its government will be
Headed, not by avowed Communists
like Friedrich Ebert, present head
of the local Eastern Berlin govern
ment but by some well-known Ger
man nationalists.
A police force" of some 10000
men, we'll supplied with military
equipment, already exists and it is
expected that after the new republic
has been officially created the
strength Of that force will be in
creased to about 100000 soldiers,
drawn chiefly from the ranks Of the
old Wehrmacht and SIS.

establishment of the first real Ger
man republic" the political adviser

undeserved kindness. They have
taken note that nothing important
has yet been done for those who
bore the burden of the campaign
while nothing has been done to
those who SHE'D from the firing
line.
There will also be repercussions
on Capitol Hill. Democrats in Con-
grass have faced up to the long list
of Truman "musts" with an out
ward show Of good spirits. But in
feclious crusading zeal is notably
absent and the veterans realize
they are still a long way from
home on these matters with many
close questions headed for a roll
call.
Yardstick Of Loyalty.
| When the pressures start and the
President begins to demand their
loyalty, they will start measuring
loyalty by his own yardstick; what
his official family can do and get
away with it, they too will do.
1t has been interesting to watch
the pilgrims progress of the ad-
ministration bad guessers who were
conspicuous by their absence in the
recent crusade against the Repub-

Debuuchinq Children

Such words as obscene" and indecent"
are much less than adequate to describe
the literature" which a Georgia avenue
luncheonette operator is accused of
peddling to students at Roosevelt High
School and the Mcfarland Junior High
School.
Lieutenant Roy Bick of the police vice
squad says he has never seen anything
worse than this filth, and he has seen
about all there is to see. Furthermore,
according to Lieutenant Blick, there is
good reason to believe that this is not an
isolated case, but that pamphlets similar
to those seized in the Georgia avenue
establishment are being sold to school
children in other parts of the city.
It is difficult, however, for the police to
obtain the evidence necessary for search
warrants. A report from a fifteen-year-
old pupil paved the way for the Georgia
avenue raid. If other pupils with knowl-
edge of similar incidents would report
them, and If their parents would encour-
age them to do so, the police would have
better chance of catching these debauch-
ers of school children and putting them
where they belong.

For the Good of the World

In endorsing President Truman's Point
4 program for the development of the
worlds backward areas the United States
Chamber of Commerce has adopted a
qualified attitude toward the project but
at the same time has backed it in all its
essentials. This supports coming as it
does from an important business quarter,
should be helpful in persuading Congress
to enact legislation-at the next session,
if not at this-to start the initial phase of
the enterprise.
The Chambers qualifications have to do
with the scope and mechanics of the pro-
gram. Among other things, they call for
modest and carefully circumscribed"
operation that will make free enterprise
and private capital the cornerstone of
Point4 In addition, they emphasize that
Federal funds to guarantee American
governmental investments should be
strictly limited and that the countries to
be aided should undertake, by treaty and
otherwise, to assure fair treatment to in
vestors in the undertaking.
All this is pretty much in line with what
the administration itself has in mind. The
program is long-range one to be carried
out over period of many years. AS ex-
planned by the President and the State
Department, it does not call for lavish
Federal expenditures Instead, dependent
in large measure on private capital, it calls
chiefly for the extension Of technical aid,
the export OF "know-hoW'' and the applica-
|, tion Of free-enterpIse effort and invest
ment Of type which, In the Chambers
Evening star., 1949-10-13

words, can "give impetus of incalculabls
value to the economic development Of the
world and the maintenance of peace"
The Chambers statement is evidence
that the business community is ready to
make at least an experimental beginning
on what can become one of the most con-
structive and mutually enriching inter-
national endeavors in history. Unfortu-
nately, Congress probably will not get
around to enacting the necessary legisla-
ton at this session, but 1t should certainly
do so early in the next. The sooner the
project is launched, the better for the
world.

Our Problems Are Mutual

Governor William Preston Lane jr, OF
Maryland is correct in his statement to
the Washington Board of Trade that the
District of Columbia owes a great deal to
the State which he so ably heads. It is a
debt of gratitude for Maryland's gift of
sixty square miles of her territory for the
seat of Government and for her friendly
interest ever since in the development and
welfare of the Capital.
But Governor Lane undoubtedly had his
tongue in his cheek when he listed an
other item as part of Washingtons in
debtedness to it's respected neighbor. That
item was the $4,000 which Maryland con-
tributed to the Federal Government in 1871
to help in the erection of Federal buildings
here. Congress long since has held that
this sum was not loan but grant
that Maryland would place itself in the
position of an Indian giver" if it insisted
on repayment And even if the District
recognized such debt, Governor Lane
could hardly expect our voteless citizens to
persuade Congress that the sum should be
refunded when Maryland with its large
voting delegation in Congress has not been
able to do the trick after all these years.
The Maryland Governor, with good cause,
Is worried over the growing painss being
experienced in Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties. When Maryland ceded
its land to the District it did not, of course,
foresee how the infant city would develop
during century and half of Federal
expansion. Now the Capital has spilled
over into the adjoining States, posing seri-
Gus problems for them to solve. Solution
of these school, traffic and other public
service problems is the responsibility not
of the District government but of govern
mental authorities in the affected jurisdic-
tions The District fully sympathizeS with
State and county officials who are per-
picked by these grave problems, for Wash
ington has been concerned with exactly
the same sort of difficulties inside the
District boundaries. The difficulties for
all the communities in the Metropolitan
Area arise from the rapid growth of the
Federal Government in recent years. No
one of these communities fairly may blame
any of the others for its plight
Actually, these communities have become
80 inextricably intermeshed as to compose
one great urban area. They have mutual
planning, zoning, highway, utility and
other problems that demand joint con-
sideration and joint action Governor
Lane would be rendering a notable service
. to the whole Metropolitan Area if he lent
his active support to the movement toward
more effective coordination of govern
mental operations and policies in the
closely integrated communities on both
sides of the Potomac. Maryland's Repre-
sentative Sasscer has sponsored legislation
to set up Virginia District
Commission to study means of achieving
better coordination. This would be an
eminently sensible approach to the solu-
ton of some of the problems which are
worrying not only Governor Lane but
every one else in the fast-growing Wash
ington Metropolitan Area

Red Atom Duy'

1t may seem bit incongruous that the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
should have chosen the American Forestry
Association as forum for an important
military speech. But incongruous or other
wise, the fact remains that the address
which General Bradley delivered at Akron
last night is both timely and of first i'm
portance.
It is speech which brings into true
focus some of the distorted impressions
that have emerged from the Mayfair
Force hearings before the House Armed
Services Committee and which introduces
into the picture sense of balance and
breadth of vision. Those who will take the
trouble to read it will find that it clears
away much of the confusion that has
attended our adjustment to the fact of
"Red Atom Day'-the day of Russia's own
atomic explosion.
General Bradley assures us that the
so witless as some of the more excited
testimony before the House committee
might indicate. He believes that our present
investments in national defense have been
neither misplaced nor less thrifty than we
should desire, which would seem to cover
the B-36 The division of the defense
dollar for this fiscal year has been: Army
1876 cents; Air Force, "a cents, and the
Navy, 32.4 cents. General Bradley agrees
that all of the services might have spent
more money to good advantage, and he
comedies that there will continue to be
competition among them for larger shares
of the defense dollar while the total
amount OF money available is both neces-
sarily limited and insufficient to satisfy
all demands. He firmly believes, however,
that when the President and the Secre-
tary of Defense have made the decision on
the defense budget, then each service must
carry it's fair share of our calculated risk" !"
And he feels that this must be done even
at the expense of "wisnful adherence to
prestige, time-honored tradition, or biased
enthusiasm for any one of our armed
forces"
This is wise counsel which ought to be

A Practical Education

Educators who met this week at the
United States Office of Education were
seeking an answer to a serious problem
in high school education. The problem
arises from the disclosure, through nu-
merous surveys, that about go per cent
Of all high school students do not intend
to 60 to college but instead seek jobs with
out any adequate vocational training or
plans. More than two hundred of the
Nations leading educators are trying to
find ways better to prepare these students
to earn their living after they have left
school for good.
Inquiries have shown that only 20 per
cent of high school students continue
their education in college This one-fifth
is well taken care of in high school, the
courses of which are designed primarily
for college preparatory purposes. Another
one-flfth takes manual training or other
technical courses and leaves high school
with fair knowledge of the skills
required in woodworking or machine shops
or in offices. But the large majority of
high school graduates who have not
"majored" in technical or professional
ouDJSSoo .oAAu W2Ao AlCNC1 So OA1 w AA1S1lC4
institutions of learning find themselves
hard put to secure and hold lucrative jobs
From this large group come most OF the
country's salesgirls office boys, file clerks,
elevator operators, service station attend
ants and other workers.
The plan Of the educators is to aid the
neglected go per cent of students through
what is called life adjustment program
in the high schools. This is fancy term
that could encompass everything from
vocational guidance to newfangled social
studies of doubtful value to students in
search OF jobs. But the life adjustment
program, If kept within practicable bounds,
could prove to be of great assistance to
high school boys and girls who enter the
competition for employment with nothing
but a general-course diploma to recon-
mend them DR.. Earl J. McGrath, Com
missioner of Education, sums the move
ment up as one designed to provide high
school students with "a more practical
type OF education" That is an objective
which is worth aiming for In this highly
technological age.
