Off The Record
CLIPPING FROM ISRAEL


A sensational report about the
fate of Jewish writer's in Soviet
Russia appears in a recent issue
OF the Israel paper Davar {.
The story is that Solomon Mich
oelS, one-time head of the Mos
cow Jewish Anti-Fascist Com
mittee, did not die a natural
death It is said that alleged
evidence of pro-American espio-
mage had been uncovered within
the committee The committee
leaders became alarmed though
they were skeptical of the whole
thing Instead of passing the
information to Soviet authorities
NICHOLS and Itzhek Feffer, who
visited the United States as
eIilissaries of Soviet Jewry short
1y after the Nazi attack on Rus
STA, decided to conduct an in
vestigation of their own within
the committee In the mean
time the atmosphere became
heavy and more shadowy :.
Soon Nichols visited Minsk
where he was found dead {.
Who killed him and why? E.
The conclusion, says Davar, is
quite "clear" Later the au-
thorities stepped in and began
rounding up all people who had
knowledge of the incident and
kept silent The first one to
be arrested was Itzhek Feffer :.
Then came the liquidation of the
Jewish anti-Fascist committee,
the closing down of the Jewish
press and the suppression of
Jewish publications More
arrests followed :. The last one
to be arrested was David Ber-
gelson, noted Yiddish writer who
had gained wide esteem with
the Soviet regime One fine
morning he was invited for a
stalk" When he arrived at
the site where he was to be in
terrogated it had become clear
to him that he was facing an
unacceptable fate He was told
the investigation would take two
days Later, however, an in
vestigating body came to his
home, searched the house thor
oughly, tore up the floor and
attic, confiScated his money, ran
sacked his desk and carried off
his books and manuscripts in an
open vehicle People who
witnessed the scene say they
were Mortified as the wind
scattered the pages of Bergel-
sons manuscripts over the Mos
cow streets Bergelson's son,
who had been a lecturer at the
Moscow gymnasium, is now
living in poverty It isn't
quite certain where the arrested
Jewish writers are kept al
though it is said somewhere
near Leningrad .''This story.

1t must become part Of us for a
long time to come.
Our Federal expenditure budget
this year will be between $50 bill
lion and SIS billion, and 1t will be
higher for years to come before it
gets lower. Our tax budget must
approach the expenditure figure as
nearly as possible. and it, too, will
be higher for a long time before
it gets lower. Our debt, also, will
rise for years to come before it
gets lower. And to these the dam
gers of uncontrolled imitation, and
the outlook for the future is gloomy
indeed. AS awful as these prospects
are, they, of course, cannot be COM
pared with the fact that our cas-
ualty lists may be expected to grow
much greater before they become
smaller.
These are the grim facts that we
face but have not been told about
Unfortunately, the more gruesome
part of the burden we carry must
be borne by the fresh young armies
navieS and air forces we send
abroad 1t is not too much to ask
the elder generation to roll up its
sleeves and cast aside it's luxury
and make the economic sacrifices
which are necessary to the preser-
vation Of the Nation, the form of
government and the freedom which
was its heritage.
I do not concede that either
democracy, or free enterprise, or
any other American freedom has
run the, course of it's usefulness in
the world. They have been worth
fighting for and winning for in the
past against both economic and
military challenge, and do not con-
cede that they were any dearer to
those who have fought and won be-
fore than they are to us today.
We shall win again, but not until
we begin thinking straight through
all the double talk that we hear to
the hard core of the problems that
confront us; until we recognize the
sacrifices we must make; until we
see clearly the course we must take;
and until we act accordingly.
In all of these, leadership char
acterized by unselfish and selfless
patriotism is the first requirement.
We have had in the past. It is not
too much to ask now.

World Affairs School
Here Becomes Part
OF Johns Hopkins U.

The school of Advanced Inter-
national Studies. 1906 Florida
avenue NV. operated since 1914
by the Foreign Service Educa-
tional Foundation, has become a
graduate school of Johns Hop
kins University.
DR.. Detlev w. Bronx, Johns
Hopkins president. who made the
announcement yesterday, said
that the school will remain in
Washington. Its buildings, library
and equipment have been trans
ferred to the university, he said.
but the foundation will continue
to contribute to its support.
The foundation was formed in
1943 by a group of prominent
public figures to fill needs created
by this country's increasing parti-
cipation in world affairs. More
than 300 college graduates have
attended the school since that
time. Its aim has been to train
qualified young people for foreign
service in business and govern
ment.
Representative Herter. Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,, president
of the foundation and chairman
of the board Of the school, today
stressed that the new arrange
ments would be mutually bene-
fetal to both the school and
Johns Hopkins.
THE university will obtain an
established school in the vital
field of international affairs
and the merger with The Johns
Hopkins University will permit
the use of all those facilities which
only a great university possesses,
Mr.. Herter said.
Further support for the schoo
has been provided by grant
from the Carnegie Corp. Of New
York.

Government job opportunities will
be lessened.
On the contrary, the defense
program will result in the hiring
of several thousand employees in
the defense agencies and depart
ments such as Commerce, In
terror, Agriculture and others that
will handle various aspects of the
economic control program.
The real significance of a les
sened turnover in Federal per-
sonnel is that it will save the
Government both time and money
in retaining experienced employees
and increase efficiency.
The large employment turnover
has been one of the headaches
plaguing Federal personnel Of

Also. Federal employees are
loathe to give up their equity in
the civil service retirement system,
which they would do if they left
the Government.
Last year, there was a turnover

In these fields, private industry
in many cases can more thar

Training With Accent
On Type War
By the Associoted Press

The Army is using a streamlined
training program, Sparked by
Korean war veterans, to prepare
new soldiers for the battlefront.
Details of the program were
outlined yesterday by Gen. Mark
w. Clark. chief of the Army Field
Forces in a statement distributed
by the Defense Department
Army training in the United
States has been accelerated in
tempo and toughened in character
with the view to producing thor
oughly trained soldiers in the
shortest possible time" Gen. Clark
said.
Under a new directive. he re-
ported, every trainee-no matter
the type duty he may GETS SUBJ
jected to IL weeks OF training in
infantry fighting tactics. After
that he gets a brush-up as a men,
ber of unit operating under bat
tie conditions.
In this latter phase, special in
struction teams in various weap-
onS and tactics take hand. These
teams include combat veterans of
the Korean campaign, Gen. Clark
said.
Gen. Clark did not say how long
the new training program takes
but he did say it substantially"
reduces the SO weeks formerly re-
quired to complete the training
of one unit. .....-..... -
Although the accent is on Ko-
rean fighting conditions. Gen
Clark indicated that the possibil-
ity of other conflicts elsewhere is
not being overlooked.
Great care has been taken to
differentiate between changes ~
notifications in training meth
DDS. organization and equipment
which are necessary and which
can generally be effected locally
to cope successfully with the par
ticular terrain and type Of en-
emy encountered in Korea and
changes or notifications which
appear feasible for adoption as q
general proposition, he said.
Prepared for ANY Mission.
I'm Korea our troops found
themselves outnumbered many
many times over by an enemy
with a seemingly inexhauStible
supply of manpower and with
a determination to gamble every
thing on the reckless expenditure
Of that manpower. 1t is alto
gether likely that We shall be up
against a similar situation in any
future war"
To meet such a situation. Gen.
Clark said, the Army is building
"a highly trained, mobile striking
force, composed of all the neces-
sary arms and services and
equipped with the most modern
and effective tools of war" This
force. he said. would be prepared
for any mission it may be called
on to undertake"
Declaring that there are mo
get-rich-quick or push-button
methods by which wars can be
won in the foreseeable future, "
Gen. Clark concluded:
THE man who decides the
final issue is the infantryman
who slugs 1t out face to face with
the enemy and takes and holds
ground"
