They Ran Away to Fight for Freedom
By Leonard ]. Schweitzer

THE DAY, if ever it comes, when the
Russians are expelled from Eastern
Europe will be one of rejoicing for
thousands of political exiles now living
in this country. For the United States
has taken over the role once played by
England and France as sanctuary for
democratic political leaders who have
been forced to flee abroad to escape
tyranny at home.
They have come here from Rumania,
Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czecho-
slovakia, Albania and the Baltic states
- wherever opposition to Communist
dictatorship is crime and free elections
an imposSibility. While most of them
have settled here or in New York, there
is hardly large city in the country
without its quota of refugees from
Stalinism.
The names of these exiles sound like a
roll call of Eastern Europe's great since
the days Of World War l. Among them
are presidents and prime ministers, cab
met members and high army officers,
members of parliament and famous
scholars, kings and pretenders. Alexan-

las Mikolajczyk of Poland and Ferenc
Macy OF Hungary are Washingtonians.

President of Hungary, divides his time
between this city and New York. DR..
Vlaoko Mechek, former Vice Premier of
Yugoslavia, and DR.. Peter Zenkl, who
held the same post in Czechoslovakia. are
both residents of Washington. DR..
George Dimitrov world-famous Bulgar-
ian agrarian leader, has settled here.
King Peter of YugoSlovaia is as often
in New York as Paris
Together with hundreds of lesser known
Eastern European political figures, these
men spend their time and energy with
out stint on one goal-the liberation Of
their homelands. Their familiarity with
conditions abroad, and their close obSer-
vatlon of Communist aggression before
they were driven into exile, make them
exceedingly useful assets in our own
fight against Communism AS a result,
our State Department and Defense
officials call them in for frequent
consultations.
Most of them escaped from their ma
tive lands one step ahead of Communist
execution squads. Kerensky was SNUG
gled out of Russia in 1917 by British un-
dercover agents; Zenkl boldly crossed the
Czech border last~year after dramatic
escape from Communist prison cell.
Mikolajczyk, with the help of the anti
Communist underground, left Poland in
disguise and great risk. Dimitrov
owes his rescue to the former American
Minister to Bulgaria, Maynard Barnes,
who browbeat the Communist regime
there into allowing him to leave the
country
Many of these political emigres would
unquestionably prefer to live in Europe.
They are, after all, Europeans by cul-
ture and education. London, Paris and

Ambassador Hos q Fan

AS a resident of New York State and
Brooklyn for number of years, would
like to take exception to your editorial
on the appointment of Mayor ODwyer
as envoy to Mexico.
I am not too familiar with the Incl
dent you mention. but do know tnat
the Mayor came to the mayoralty with
a splendid record behind him in the
New York City Police Department and
as lawyer. He stood for the very
highest in moral character and has
always been outstanding in his fight
against communism, of which we had
very good example during his connec-
ton with the District Attorneys Office
While it is true that he has not had
experience as a career diplomat, ne
has an honorable record in the Army be-
hind him, and the mayoralty of New
York City is considered second only to
the presidency of the United States
in political Importance. During his
regime he has had numerous situations
to handle which were of vital Importance
to the welfare of the taxpayers who
elected him. In my opinion he mas
acted with tact and diplomacy on these
occasions. I refer in particular to the
many strikes which have occurred during
his mayoralty, and which could have
been particularly serious in crippling
a metropolis like New York.

It's population Is predominantly Roman

D. P.'s than Washington or New York.
What brought these men to the United
States and keeps them here is their con-
viction that this country holds the future
OF the world in its hands, that here the
fate of their enSlaved homelands will
one day be decided
1t was decision which took courage,
because many of the exileS were in dire
financial straits and the trip across the
Atlantic, especially for those with FAM
lilies, was crippling to their slender
purses. Then. too, living costs are
higher here than in Europe.
Most of the exiles were comfortably
off, If not rich back at home. Here they
have been dependent on the small sums
which could be raised for their support
among their compatriots who were al
ready established in this country. Other
financial aid has drifted in from vari-
GUS American organizations anxious to
maintain the hope of the exiles that
one day freedom would be restored to
their native lands. And for some time
now part of their support has been as
sumed by the National Committee for
Free Europe, a private organization
formed by former Assistant Secretary of
State Joseph Grew and other one-time
State Department officials.
But it was hard shedding for the exiles
until these contacts were made. Many
times they lost heart and were ready to
return to Europe, where they thought
things might be easier for them. At the

The Democratic No'ic-:.al Committee has only
itself to blame if the Republicans make campaign
capital out of the Shen!.er affair The decision
of Morris Shenker, prominent Missouri criminal
lawyer, not to accept appointment to the Demo-
cratic National Finance Committee is not likely
to quiet the fuss kicked up by the appointment.
What needs to be satisfactorily explained is why
the appointment was made in the first place.
1t was certainly poor judgment to select for
the Democratic Embarrassing group man whose
clients include several men who have been under
investigation by the Kefauver Committee for
alleged interstate gambling activities. The COM
mittee had heard testimony by the Missouri State
Democratic chairman that Mr.. Shenker intro

last moment some small help would ar
rive to relieve them of their worries for
short time.
Besides cooperating with American
Government officials and private anti
Communist organizations, the exiles are
working here for the liberation of their
homelandS on three levels:
They have reconstructed on American
soil the democratic political parties to
which they belonged at home Then, as
a usual rule, the various political parties
of each country have united to form
free national committee. Finally, on the
international level, the exiles have formed
associations like the International
Peasant Union which include all, Eastern
European political parties representing
similar economic or political principles.
Dimitrov, who encompasses all three
levels in his own personals president
OF the largest Bulgarian political party,
the National Agrarian Union, chairman
of the Bulgarian National Committee and
secretary general of the International
Peasant Union-says that the extent of
this cooperation among the exiles is
measure of their hopes for the future in
a free world
Never again." he says, "can the small
states of Eastern Europe afford the lux
ury of each going its own way. All the
democratic elements in each country
must work together for the common

The Flavor of Potatoes

have not had potato of good flavor
in two years. Potatoes are not graded
for flavor, but just for freedom from
blemishcs. But the biggest blemish Of
all is the dull. fiat and sometimes bitter
flavor Of recent potatoes.
Restaurant cooks want mealy potatoes
for baking and mashing, but that is
texture, and does not mean flavor. Po-
tatoes should not be merely carriers
for butter and salt or perhaps for milk
used in MASKING; they have flavor in
their own right. A European, three
centuries ago. said the newly introduced
potato tasted like chestnuts. But that
was truer 35 years ago than now.
We need potato taSters Potato tasters
for grading for flavor would improve the
flavor SO as to increase the use Of
potatoes tremendously.

campaign. Records seized by the committee in
dicated that some of Mr.. Shenker's clients have
been generous contributors to the Democratic
campaign chest.
That Senator Kefauver, Democrat should
have joined with Republican Senators in criti-
cizing the appointment is not surprising. Repub-
lican Senator Wiley aptly summed up the situa-
ton when he commented that the incident
demonstrated that the Democratic Party has been
careless about its associations" The National
Committee cannot expect much sympathy if this
carelessness boomerangs now and then.

Replies to 'Interne'

ing that Congress is discriminating
against the medics He reminds an older
family doctor of a bitter, frustrated
spinster presuming to speak with au-
thority about the birth pangs of moth

Inferno is hurt and amazed that our
American Medical Association did not
fight to the death against current med
ical draft legislation. Locally led the
medical society floor fight to draft doc
tors. I believed the voluntary system
had failed. and our Nations survival
demanded compulsion. Being a vet

ANA for one of those arrogant, self
serving labor relationships True, ANA

nal conspiracy in restraint of trade
under the ancient Sherman Antitrust
Act. But. cynical politicians to the con-
trary. we do not initiate blackmailing
labor unions. Our country is always
first. in peace or war. When doctors
failed to meet our Nations survival
needs voluntarily, ANA agreed to
compulsion by rule of law
Second, Inferno fails to appreciate
that the medical draft takes arbitrary
power from, improvident military brass.
Draft legislation means civilian control
of physician manpower Obviously COM
pulsory universal service is the only
equitable method Of keeping all essen
tial manpower under civilian control.

lieve there was as much jeopardy and
sacrifice in the classroom as on the

serving in World War II not only paid
for their own educations, but many
served at great financial sacrifice.
Inferno, no matter what professional
eminence you may achieve, there is no
greater glory or satisfaction than serv-
ing your country. Our Nation is in
gravest jeopardy. Leave too-little and
too-late to our irresponsible politicians.

Rehabilitation Pays

The successes achieved in Virginia New York
and other States in the rehabilitation of bed
ridden patients justify the efforts being made
to set up similar program at Gallinger Hospital
Considerable publicity has been given the reha-
bilitation work at New York University and at
Bellevue Hospital, where crippleS who once would
have been regarded as hopeless cases are learning
to walk, to care for themselves and even to earn
their own living Less publicized has been the
postwar project near Staunton, Virginia, known
as the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center.
Yet those who have seen the transformations
wrought there among the physically handicapped
have been deeply impressed. 1t is fortunate that
Gallinger will have the services of one of the
organizers of the Virginia center DR.. Josephine
J. Buchanan.
DR.. Buchanan and her associates established
the center in an abandoned military hospital
building at Fishersville, several miles outside
Staunton. From small beginning the center
has grown until today its achievements are
being discussed in many parts of the State. 1t
is operated institution, but the patients
are expected to pay their own way whenever
possible. Men and women crippled by polio or
other diseases have been put on their feet, both
literally and in an economic sense. 1t is all done
through physical therapy of an advanced type,
including special exercises, baths light and heat
treatments and other techniques.
Gallinger Hospital would be made pilot
center" for the Nation under plans of its officials
and of the United States Public Health Service.
The latter is ready to grant $4,000 for the
project, provided the sum is supplemented by
District contributions either in money or in per-
sonnel and equipment required to begin the
enterprise Gallinger is planning to ask for an
appropriation of 800 to staff the center and
provide some facilities. 1t would welcome gifts
of equipment from public or private sources.
Aside from the humanitarian aspect the
proposal could save the hospital money now
spent in hospitalizing patients who might, with
proper treatment be enabled to return to their
homes and possibly made completely or partially
self-supporting One New York center reported
recently that of 100 patients given special reha-
bilitation care, 78 were able to go home and so
are earning money in regular jobs. 1t is costing
the District $12 day to care for many year.
round patients who, according to Dr. Buchanan
and other experts in physical medicine, could be
returned to their homes. In short the rehabili-
tation plan has so many advantages that it is
well worth trying here.

The Wherry Rider

If House conferees go along with the Senate
approved version of the emergency defense
appropriation bill all countries participating in
the Marshall Plan will risk being cut off from
our economic help under that plan if they ship
to the Soviet Union its satellites any COM
modify or article declared to be useful in the
manufacture of "arms, armament or military
materel'
This provision-which would not stop our
arms aid to any penalzed country-is based on
a modified version of proposal long advocated
by Senator Wherry Tackled on to the appro-
priation bill in the form of rider, it is aimed
primarily at the British Labor government, which
has been under fire both in its own country and
here in America for exporting to Russia and
Eastern Europe as whole machine tools and
other items deemed to be of service to the
Kremlin's war potential
Although Prime Minister Attlee has taken
steps to tighten trade controls on all such ship
mentS the Senate's action-pusled through
without dissent after Mr.. Wherrys ideas had
been watered down some-refects the serious
doubts that still exist in the United States, and
in Britain as we'll, as to whether he has yet gone
far enough with the tightening process. If he
has not, then the rider-unleSS the House refuses
to accept it in conference committee-will put
him on notice either to do so or face the prospect
of having his country denied the benefits of the
Marshall Plan.
Of course under the 1948 act creating the
Economic Cooperation Administration to put
that plan into effect Congress instructed the ECA
to shut off the flow of certain materials to any
participating nation found to be using those
materials in producing military or semimilitary
items for shipment to Russia or its satellites.
But the Wherry rider-which would be operative
whenever our armed forces were fighting to carry
out a mandate of the United Nations (aS in
Korea)-is much more sweeping than that for
it would deny all Marshall aid to a country
exporting militarily useful items to the Soviet
sphere.
Moreover, unlike the act of 1948 the rider
does not leave it up to Mr.. Hoffman-the ECA
administrator-to exercise discretion in this
matter. He would have no choice but to put
the provision into effect against any participat-
ing nation found to be shipping to countries
behind the Iron Curtain things that had been
placed on the verboten list by the Secretary of
Defense. The latter would be the sole decider
OF what commodities or articles ought to be
banned from export. 81
Adminstratively economically and other
wise, the wisdom of such an arrangement may
be open to serious question. But the incoming
Defense Secretary would be the last man to hurt
the great project that bears his name-the
Marshall Plan. Accordingly, if the Wherry rider
is adopted by Congress as a whole it need not
be feared by any of the ECA nations living UP to
its basic purpose. Certainly, as far as that
purpose itself is concerned there can be no doubt
that the free world, if it has common sense will
do nothing to help build up the Soviet war
machine.
