What's The PrOgTam3
Apparently the much publicized
mobilization program for a new
war has not scared our Federal
Government and our people. The
talk goes around in the National
Capital that the military author
tiles and the President and his ad-
visOrs are calculating two problems
One for a total war, and one for
an extended period of peace.
The President in his message
told the Congress that the plan
most probably would be "fOr a
number of years" including assist
ance to other Nations. Thus the
j sums asked for by our Government
could establish new plateau or
normal peacetime spending. Don't
let that worry you!

Western sources that has been

FRANKFORT, Germany, July
7R.-Signs of war filters are ap-
pearing among the West German
population.
Alarmed by the Korean conflict
many are fearful that it may
spread to Europe-wlere Germany

Doctors report that many people
have asked for poisons to be used
for suicide in case West Germany
is invaded by Russia. One doctor
said he had received several such
requests from people who said
they would rather die than go
through another invasion like that
of 1945.
Other Germans are reported
trying to join the Communist
Party-as insurance in case the
Communists take over West Ger

There are signs also of food

Russia Accuses u. 5.
OF New Aggression
In B!ockading Korea
BY NE Assoeiofed Press

MOSCOW. July Russia to-
day accused the United States of
committing a new act of ag-
gression" in blockading Korea and
warned she would hold the United
States responsible for any damage
to Soviet interests.
The Russian position, expressed
in note sent to the American
embassy, was in reply to one sent
by the United States July 4, in
forming the Russians that Ameri-
ca had set up the blockade in
keeping with the United Nations
Security Councils request for sup
port of South Korea.
The Russian answer repeated
the Soviet stand that the Security
Council resolution of June q
was illegal. The Russians have
based this contention on the
grounds that the Soviet Union
and the Chinese Peoples Com
munist) republic were not present
at the meeting.
Holding u. s. Responsible.
The Soviet note said the Sc
curity Council resolution could
not serve as a legal basis for
taking any measures whatsoever
with regard to Korea, including
a naval blockade of Korea"
The Russian reply said in part:
'The blockade of Korea con-
stitutes a new act of aggression.
This blockade is just as incom-
patible with United Nations prin-
ciples as is the entire armed in
tervention Of the United States
in Korea.
owing to the aforesaid, the
Soviet government will conside,
the Government of the United
States Of America responsible for
all consequences of this act and
for all damage to interests of the
Soviet Union which may be caused
in connection with the carrying
out of the aforementioned
blockade"
The Russians also rejected
what British officials described as
a request for Soviet cooperation
in restoring peace in Korea. The
request, they said, was made by
Britain's ambassador, Sir David
Kelly, last week.
Requires No Reply"
The Soviet news agency Tass
announced today that Sir David
made no proposals to the Soviet
government for the peaceful regu-
lating of the Korean question.
simply restricting himself to ex-
pressing the hope that the con-
flict in Korea would in time be
regulated"

que added. that the statement
|of the British ambassador in
Moscow requires no reply on the
part of the Soviet government. y
The Soviet government pre-
viously refused a request from
the United States that it inter.

from Magdeburg to Dessau and
north from there along the Elbe
River, facing the British zone.
Between now and the end OF
August, Allied experts believe the
Russians will stage at least half
q dozen maneuvers to sharpen the
training of their East German
armies. The Peoples Police, who
have been expanded into what
amounts to an infantry force, will
be used for odd jobs in these
maneuvers.
The high American officer, mini
nlizing the significance of the
maneuvers, commented:
"The Soviet army in East Ger
many was 20 divisions in 1946. It
is 20 division in 1850. It is no
bigger than before and certainly
a lot less effective than it was in
the past. The total number of
Red soldiers is pegged at about
100000. The Korean outburst did
not affect it in the least.
Experienced Soldiers Recalled.
''One thing has happened" hi
added. "Soviet soldiers with three
years foreign experience have beer
recalled. This means replacement
with rockies. Russian divisions il
Germany have been getting young
boys who have a lot to learn"
The Russians have always main
tanned an armed force in East
Germany as large as the COM
bined America, British and French
force In the West. Intelligence
sources say this relationship has
not changed but add that the Rus
SLAMS decided six months ago they
we're underarmed and sent in anti
aircraft battalions to bolster in
fantry divisions. They also shifted
numerous tank outfits from the
Balkans to Germany.
Observers now estimate that the
Russians have 1000 tanks in the
East Zone-far more than the
combined Western armored forces
could possibly muster.
Introduction of antiaircraft units
was not considered unusual BY
Allied military observers. Unit
recently Soviet infantry divisions
simply lacked this essential par

ID ECENTLY, large manufacturing company

Minnesota town. 1t was rusf job and the
contractors orders were simply to get the
building up as fast as possible. In the process
he made an eyesore of the grounds surround
ing the plant.
An ordinary citizen - bartender by trade
- had built his home nearby and had spent
most of his savings to make it attractive
But the chief sight to be seen from his win
dows was the ugly, torn-up factory yard
The bartender wrote letter to the factory
owners, enclosing snapshots of his own home
and of the factory grounds. Why, he asked,
should a wealthy corporation make
pigsty of its surroundings?
week after mailing his letter he received
an answer from the company president. He
was, the letter agreed, absolutely right. What
was more, something would be done A few
days later landscaping crew arrived and
proceeded to turn the factory grounds into
pleasant, tree-shaded park.
And so the bartender and the factory lived
happily ever after, side by side.

In SPITE of its ending, this is not fairy
tale. These days an ordinary citizen is a man
whose word has weight Large, supposedly
cold-blooded corporations often will leap to
do his bidding. Many of them maintain ex-
pensive public-relations stats whose purpose
is to do that leaping even before the bidding,
if possible. A big change has taken place
since William Henry Vanderbilt spouted his
famed dictum, 'The public be damned"
We are, in fact, nearing the peak of an era
of public-relations consciousness. Its begin
ming can be traced to the days of the old
fashioned press agents, whose motto was,
"Any publicity is good publicity" That slo-
gan's in the ash can. Modern PR" experts
take quite different attitude. They seek
