MUST ACCEPT THE PENALTY

Early this month man in Pennsyl-
fania was convicted of voluntary man.
slaughter in connection with the killing
Of his blind, cancer-stricken brother, and
sentenced to serve from three to six years
IN prison.
Judge James F. Henniner took into
consideration" the jury's plea of mercy
AMIDST that the defendant apparently
acted through the dictates of his con-
science and thus became "a martyr"
The jurist pointed out, however, that
as a martyr, the man must accept will
inely the punishment that goes with the
bIeaking of the laws of the state" This
observation points fact that is over
lobKed by people who want to be mar

their infraetion of the laws established by
society.
No man, in his right mind. can posi-

ciEilized countries of the world represent
thAsutimate in wisdom or justice. Never
tlefess, they represent the best that the
HUMAN race has to offer at this time and
must serve as a guide to mankind. Con-

they apply to all the guilty. whether they

THE SHORT END

Profit is what keeps industry alive,
and makes possible its tremendous eentri-
buttons to everyone III the nation. When a
man risks his money in some undertaking.
he does SO IN the hope of receiving a re-
turn. But the amount of profit that indus
try earns is far smaller than is generally
realized.
AS case in point, here are some fig
ures taken from the 1949 annual report
of corporation dealing in dairy products.
1t had total income of more than
100000, 900, of which the largest part
was spent for milk and other raw mater
ials, and necessary supplies and services.
1t paid wages and salaries of nearly
S157 900. 600, and taxes totaling more than
S32, 600, 600.
After all the bills were paid. profit
of S33, 259,000 was left. But all of this
didn't go to the owners. Most of it-s19.-
399.000-was left in the business. to- take
care of future needs and possible eontin-
gencies. The stockholders actually got
only S13, 100000
A brief analysis of these figures is
Illuminating. The concerns total profit
was only 81 cents on each dollar of sales.
For each dollar of profit, S4.70 was spent
for wages. And, finally, for each dollar of
profit. just about the same amount went
to government in the form of taxes.
Breaking the figures down farther,
government received well over twice as
much as was paid to the stockholders
and the workers received well over eleven
times as much! Industries owners are on
the short end of the stick when the money
is divided

COLLECTIVE DEFENSE PRoBLEMs

Under the North Atlantic Treaty the
signatorg powers are required to take
action if any one of them is attacked and,
in connection with the situation in Europe
plans have been considered TO provide de-
tense forces that will offer hope of stop
ping an aggressive advance by Russia.
The top planners find, however, that
there is something lacking. Each nation
plans IFS defense forces. with the idea of
having army. navy and air force. The ball
anced forces of the member nations may
not make a balanced force for the COM
mon defense.
Gen. Omar Bradley makes the point
suggesting that the nations. to provide an
overall balance to collective defense. must
adopt the theory of national specaliza-
ton The United States. for example, must
develop that part of collective defense
force that it can provide better than any
other nation, and other nations must do
the same so that, in the end. the collective
defense force viii be efficient.
While no official commitment has been
given, it is understood that the French,
Dutch and Belgians are expected to con-
centrate on ground troops. while the
United States and Great Britain take care
Of sea power. In the air, we viii probably
lead in strategic bombing but the British
are considered best in jet engines and
fighters Close to the European scene, the
British are given the nod for tactical air
support forces.
The question arises whether the ma
tons will be willing to make their con-
tributions to collective security even if
they unbalance the defense forces of in
dividual nations. Gen. Bradley suggests
that we must make our forces fit in the
defensive plans being developed under
the treaty which may require larger
navy and air force than we might other
wise develop.

GOOD IDEA-BUT POOR GUESSING

It is said that there is an economy
bloc in Congress that threatens to slash
aid to Nations round the World. A
The President says that the recon-
mendations he has made to maintain for
eign aid are mot acts of charity, nor a
waste of the resources of the United States. :
On the contrary the President says
that these tremendous appropriations of
billions of dollars are the keystone of our
protection against the destruction Of
another war
When this fight for more billions of
dollars reaches Congress there will be a
battle royal in the Senate and House.

Erickson S Auditor
Sought in New York
BY the Asseeieisd Press

NEW YORK, May 6.-The laws
sudden and extreme interest in
Frank Erickson, the gambler, ex-
tended today to his missing audi
tor, Henry Pellino.
Mr.. Pellino dropped from sight
last Monday-just one day before
the Manhattan district attorneys
raid on Erickson's Park avenue
office. His friends say he is ION
vacation"
District Attorney Frank Hogan
issued a general pickup for the
auditor.
Mr.. Pellino is a certified public
accountant and had his name on
the Office door along with that of
the gamblers brother. Leonard
Erickson.
Mr.. Hogan yesterday said he
wants to send Mr.. Pellino before
the grand jury investigating gam
bling and have him questioned on
what he knows of Erickson's $12
million-a-year gambling empire.
Erickson testified personally tc
the figures at a Senate committee
hearing last week. He said his
huge turnover in the bookmakins
nets him a 100000 profit annu-
ally.
Although Erickson himself has
not been arrested. one of his aides
Harry Richards, 81, was held in
lieu of 100000 bail as a material
witness.
Mr.. Hogan's Office said he was
ErickSon's dummy in banking and
financial transactions.

+ In Topola IS the school for the

business. Three billion dinsrs

principally from opium smuggling.
On May "a. la4s. the Tito
Cominform officially was founded.
/ The new idea grouping OF those
Communists in Europe to whom
their country means more than

My informant said Moscow
planned war on Tito last year but
dropped the idea. The Politburo
instead launched an intensive
campaign 70 lure Tito back into
the Moscow camp. Kremlin chiefs
feared involvement OF the United
States should shooting war come

BERLIN, May 6.-The "Titc
Conform" is making real progress
against Moscow. 1t now is fal
more than a spontaneous move
ment Its active headquarters is
located in Belgrade. with Is coun-
tries organized, and a total of one
billion dinars per month is being
expended in its operation.
| This information was learned
from a German envoy of the "Titc
Conform" here recently.
I The informant is deputy oi
Wolfgang Leonard. former head
master of the Communist Party
school called Karl Marx School
located just outside Berlin, in
Klein -Machnow. Wolfgang Leon
ard left Berlin suddenly last year
and with the help of YugoslavS
managed to get to Belgrade. where
he now heads the German section
of the Tito-Cominform. Among
his 28 agents operating in Berlin
and the East Zone Of Germany
is the deputy who told me the
facts in this story.
Facts Checked.
They were checked and found
to be essentially true.
For months huge building re-
malned empty in Belgrade, The
house was located on the corner
OF Moscow street and Jovan.
Ristish street, in the center OF
the city. In this building the
Moscow -Cominform was given life
by Andrei Zhdanov, the Moscow
boss who died mysteriously in the
fall of 1948. At the time oi
zhdanov, this building was head
quarters Of the Communists OF
the World" But when Tito broke
with Moscow. the building became
empty, and stayed that way.
Suddenly one day the old house
bloomed with life. The Offices
filled with employees and secre-
taries, 260 Of them. who had be-
longed in the original Moscow
Cominform. Now they preferred
to work for Tito instead of Stain
The Tito -Cominform was born.
Meanwhile, 200 special Stalinist
policemen had been assigned to
check on every member Of the
Moscow-C Cominform. which now
has it's headquarters in Bucharest,
Romania. The loyalty check re-
suited in arrest of 73 employees.
Others escaped at night and fed
to Belgrade, swelling the ranks of
the new Tito-C Cominform.
Belgrade Is Center.
Topola, a suburb of Belgrade,
is the unofficial home" OF the
new Tito-Comintorm organizers.
