Won't CurtaiI Spending.

NfOu Su1 tdh
i Committee members inquired
whether the Navy had received
any order from Secretary johnson
to spend less than the s687 ,000,-
900 allotted in the pending budget
for naval aircraft.
Admiral Denfield. chief of Naval
Operations. was invited to answer
this query. He said that as far
as he knew there was no intention
of curtailing the fund. He said
the Navy is making plans to
spend that money"
Representative Short of Mis-
souri,, ranking Republican member
of the committee. recalled that
Congress appropriated money for
a super carrier. but that Secretary
johnson cancelled the project.
1T comes back to a matter OF
granting so much authority to one
man" Mr.. Short said.
Vinson Discusses Morale.
/ The AK has fallen heavier on
the Navy's neck than on the Air
Force and Army" Mr.. Vinson
commented:
Discussing Mr.. Matthews ap-
praisel of the extent of deteriora-
ton in Navy morale. Mr.. Vinson
said it was his opinion that it
went farther than merely the. at
titude of die-hards who are fight
ing a lost cause against uniflca-
ton"
He described much of the op-
position as "sniping" and added:
/ IT'S just like when I was ops
posed to prohibition and prohibi-
tion passed.
Let the record show Mr..
Vinson continued. that in my
judgment morale in the Navy has
been affected mainly because
major carriers are being cut to
eight or six or four. carrier
groups from IA to 6, small carriers
from 10 to 8, Marine air squadrons
from % to II or II, anti-sub-
marine air patrols from eight to
seven. naval patrol squadrons
from 80 to 20, cruisers from 13
to IL. destroyers from 1862 to 141,
and with corresponding cuts in
submarines and some other clas-
sificatio
No Effect on Others.
Mr.. Matthews mentioned the
suspension of Capt. Crommelin in
response to a question by Mr.. Van
Zandt as to what disciplinary acA
ton had been taken against the
officer. Mr.. Van Zandt then
wanted to know whether that
development would have any
effect on the testimony of other
officers before the committee.
None whatsoever" Mr.. Mat
theWs replied.

tary Matthews were Admiral Den

Outgrowth Of B-36 Probe.
The congressional hearing open
ing today was an outgrowth of
the B-36 bomber inquiry which
was closed officially yesterday with
a recommendation that the Navy
fire Cedric r. Worth, admitted
author of a surreptitiously cir
culated, unsigned memorandum
charging irregularities in the Air
Forces procurement of the six
engined plane.
This recommendation brought
a belated disclosure at the Navy
Department that Mr.. Worth had
resigned August 80, four days
after Mr.. Matthews suspended
him from his job as special as

in the Soviet zone since July 81
(The youths since have returned
to the United States)
I'm announcing his intention tt
release these boys Gen. 1vanov
chief of staff of the Soviet occupa-
ton forces in Germany, referred
to the character of the actions Of
Oelsner and Sellers in the Soviet
zone and asked that measures be
taken to avoid a repetition of such
incidents.
The United States Government
wishes to observe that such ad-
monitions are misdirected in this
case. What is the character of
the actions of the two young
American citizens involved?
ITO be sure they inadvertently
and innocently entered the Soviet
zone of occupation. but this tech
nical offense is not serious one.
It certainly cannot justify deten-
ton for over eight weeks, includ-
ing two weeks in solitary conflne-
ment.
No Charges Reported.
1.-The two students were not
considered even by the Soviet au-
thorities in Germany to be GRIM
inals or spies. Reports indicate
that no formal charges were ever
preferred against them.
I'm short, two American stu
dents in Europe as tourists whose
identity and harmless purposes
could never have been long in
doubt, have been treated as GRIM
inals. subject to long incarcera-
ton and not allowed to communi-
cate with their families or their
Government.
This treatment the United
States Government finds to be in
shocking =. controvention Of the
most elementary standards of in
ternational decency.
The reaction Of the Soviet
authorities to the incursion of a
pair Of youthful bicyclists is the
more astonishing as they can
scarcely have been considered to
be serious threat to the security
of the ample Soviet occupation
army in Germany.
THE case of Oelsner and Sellers
is only the latest of macy which
have occurred in Germany. Cir
'cumstances vary but the basic
pattern is the same. United States
citizens, whether civilian or mill
tary. are arrested, held for iorg
periods, sometimes miserably mis-
treated and eventually released
without charges, explanations or
apologies.
The recent case Of Pvt. John
J. SienkiewicZ. United States
soldier who escaped on September
16, 1949. from a prison in the
Soviet sector of Berlin after 10
months of Imprisonment under
brutal and uncivilized conditions,
is another illustration in point.
There can be no Justification
for this kind of treatment Of cit
liens o. a friendly nation. persons
whose only violation Of law is
purely technical at most and
whose innocence of criminal
charges may easily be established.
THE Government of the United
States raises the most energetic
protest against such actions by
the Soviet authorities in Germany
and expects that those Soviet Of
ficials who are responsible for
these acts will be punished. The
Government of the United States
further insists that the elementary
rights of its citizens be observed
in the future in accordance with
the international comfy which
governs the conduct Of all civilized
states"

.WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine lowmon

Dear Mrs. Lowman, II was
very much interested in your re-
cent article comparing the dis
positions of fat and skinny wom-
en-. AS every one knows, the best
way to get along with any man
is to keep him well fed! The
same think works with women,
or animals. Whenever one sees
half starved person or an equally
under -nourished animal, he sees
a miserable one!
II am in my middle forties and
do a mans work on our farm. I
have to eat all of anything I
want when I want it. and as often
as I want 1t. I am one of the
overweights but I don't let it
worry me. Worry makes wrinkles.
'I'll admit that I would not
win a beauty contest but so long
as my husband and my children
like me as I am, I don't give
hoot what anybody else thinks!"
I like that letter. 1t has lots of
value in 1t but I do not agree
with everything in it. What is
well fed? 1t is possible to be
overweight and still malnour-
ished, so far as the essentials of
best health are concerned. I can
go into a cafeteria and tell you
almost in detail what women will
select. The overweights concen-
trate on the starches and sugars
and fats. with little room left over
for many greens or salads.
When one is doing hard ply
sical work, like the writer today,
she does require many more calo-
ries than her sedentary sister.
However, if she is overweight it
is a sign that she is eating too
much of the wrong kinds of food.
The carbohydrates are energy
foods and the woman whose let
ter I quote needs more of these
than the average woman but this
does not mean that she should
eat as much cake and pie and
candy and fried foods and cream
and fat meat and gravy as she
wishes whenever she wishes.

At present, such organizations

"The CIO feels that in elimi-
mating this special rate for non

and S. 1103 are going counter to
the basic purpose of the second
class mailing system" Mr.. Swim
said. "The purpose of second

vide for the widest possible dis
semination of printed material
in order that the American pub
lie may be best informed of the

a lot of sense but it is the oppo-

Bureau of Labor Statistics,
US. Department of Labor.
In February gross hourly
earnings advanced slightly from
the last September figure to a
little over $l,37.
A moderate d G line in the
length of the workweek, reflect
ing some slackening in num-
Der of producer and consumer
goods industries, has served to
offset the hourly earnings gain.
The current average factory
workweek is almost one hour
shorter than year ago. Average
hourly earnings have increased
about 8 cents over the year, pri-
marily as result of wage rate
gains.
Lower weekly hours were re-
ported by establishments in the
iron and steel, automobile. non
ferrous metal, a d lu m b r
groups.
A slight upturn in the average
workweek for the nondurable
goods division, from 38.7 to 80
hours in February, resulted in
a minor increase in gross weekly
earnings.
Expanded activity for the
spring season was reported by
apparel and leath er plants,
where weekly earnings rose sub
stantially. Weekly hours for the
leather group, however, con-
tinued below year-ago levels.
A shortening of the workweek
in the petroleum and coal pro-
ducts group reduce d weekly
earnings significantly. Although
gross hourly earnings in the rub
ber group have been maintained
at about Sl.50 since last August,
continued decreases in weekly
hours have re- uced average
weekly earnings markedly.
