An informed London source re- ported yesterday the British La Dor government has plugged up the persistent drain on Britains fund of American dollars.
 A resulting improved financial outlook. this source said, will pave the way for early elections.
 The chances have been increas- ed for elections in February or March.
 The informant said Britain's re- serves were increased $100,0O0,000 in the three months since the pound was devalued from $4.03 to $2.80. This means that devaluation has achieved its immediate pur- pose. he added.
 RusSia's stern rebuke of neigh boring Finland that she is harbor- ing more than 300 Soviet war criminals was interpreted in Fin nish political circles as a move to bolster the Finnish communist party in the coming presidential election.
 Russia in a bitter New Years note said Finland violated her 1914 peace treaty by furnishing war criminals with false documents and names.
 Russia is expected to register two protests in the United Nations security council this week. Under a rotating system the council is presided over this month by Dr. T. F. Tsiang, delegate of Nationalist China. The Russians are expected to ask that Tsiang step out in ia vor of a communist Chinese dele gation.

Red Underground Expands

1t is reported that the Communist Party
decided at a meeting in New York City last
Sunday to go underground. Actually, however,
the party has long been operating underground
Its public activities have constituted only small
part of the whole program of this foreign
controlled conspiracy that masquerades as a
political party. And it is the secret operations
of this conspiracy which pose serious threat
to national security-not the open propagandistic
activities of the party leaders.
The propaganda campaign of the American
Communists has been dismal failure. The re-
buffs which the Reds have received in their
public efforts, to make headway in elections,
to take over the labor unions and otherwise
to communize America have been bitter dis
appointment to the American politburo and it's
peers in Moscow. But the underground approach
has been more successful, as recent disclosures
regarding Communist spy rings and govern
mental inf1ltration have shown, That is where
the real peril of communism in this country
lieS-below the surface, where it Is difficult
to detect and root out the plotters.
What the decision in New York means is
that the undercover activities of the American
Communist Party are going to be expanded,
with q corresponding decrease in open opera
tonS. Although there was much discussion and
denunciation of the pending legislative proposal
to require registration of party members, the
movement underground really was accelerated
by prior development. This was the dismaying
Ito the Commies) discovery at the New York
trial of II Communist leaders that the party
had been thoroughly infltrated by agents Of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The chief
witnesses against the convicted "politburo" men,
bers were FBI operatives who had Joined the
party and worked their way to positions of
high trust Then and there the decision was
made to conduct loyalty" investigation within
the party, clean out all suspicious members,
abolish membership cards and otherwise to pro-
ceed with greater caution than ever before
It was agreed that the party had been too care
less in its operations, both above ground and
below.
Director Hoover of the FBI told Congress
recently that the effects of this new policy OF
increased secrecy already are being felt by his
men. He said it is getting harder every day to
keep tabs on what the party is doing in the
subversive field He asked for more agents and
more money with which to intensity investigation
of the potential Red fifth column. That this
help will be forthcoming is assured, for Congress
realizes that the only way to deal with an en-
larged Communist underground is to enlarge
the underground forces of the FBI. The public
activities of the party are of little consequence

"A Tremendous Victory

Having forced the President to seize the
railroads by calling strike in support of unjuS-
titled demands, and in utter disregard of their
obligation to the country, union spokesmen now
are hailing the seizure as "a tremendous victory
for our people"
It is hard to fathom such palpable nonsense.
If the announcement by Charles Ross, White
House secretary, that the Government would not
bargain with the union for special contract is
correct-aS it most certainly should be-then
there is nothing whatsoever in the fact of seizure
that is a victory for the union members. Perhaps
the heads of the unions have gained tactical
point in some internal union political maneuver
but that is not victory for the members. All
that has really been accomplished is to harass
the country and the President, and to strengthen
a sense of public outrage against this brand of
stupid and reckless unioneering.
Mr.. Truman's statement in connection with
the seizure was a model of restraint. In contrast
to some of his extravagant attacks on the selfish
interests" he had no word of condemnation to
utter with respect to the wholly selfish conduct
of these union leaders. Presumably the President
did not want to say anything which might impede
a settlement but it is difficult not to feel that
this special consideration for unions tends to
encourage rather than discourage the warped
thinking which produces such things as railroad
strike threats in times of national crisis.

Triple Reverse

The House, alert to the welfare of the So
called lower animals, has appropriated funds for
a new roof for the elephant house at the Zoo.
This means that the elephants, the giraffes, two
species of rhinoceros, hippopotamus and other
creatures who use the elephant house. will be
adequately sheltered from wind, snow and rain.
In remarkable series of flip -flops, however,
the House has refused to permit the people of
Washington to do anything worthy of mention
to protect themselves against the danger of an
atom bomb attack. A request for $290,000 for
civilian defense had been submitted to the House
all of the money to come from District tax
revenues. The appropriations Committee cut it
down to $4,000, Then group of members of
the House District Committee, on Friday, per-
suaded the House to restore the full amount
But yesterday in third reverse, the House went
back to the $4,000 figure.
This means that for the foreseeable future
there will be no adequate defense preparation
for the people of Washington against an atom
bomb attack. To say the least, sorry example
has been set for other cities, many of which do
not even have ZOOS to which their residents might
flee when disaster strikes.

Blood Donors for Korea

Those who have been asking what they can
do to help American boys fighting the United
Nations battle in Korea may find an answer to
their question in the appeal for blood donations
issued by General George C. Marshall in his
capacity as president of the American Red Cross,
official procurement agency for blood for the
armed forces. Supplies of whole blood needed at
the front have been furnished until recently by
military and civilian donors in Japan but they
are not enough to provide all that will be needed.
Back home also the drive for blood is being STEP
ped up in view of increasing demand. The
District of Columbia Red Cross Blood Donors
Center, 1880 street Northwest wants 5000
donors a month.
This means that roughly 200 citizens day
are being recruited to give blood at the center
or through mobile units going out to nearby
communities. The blood donated may be stored
in banks" approximately three weeks. con-
tinuing supply is imperative If the work is to
function effectively and without lapses. The
present stipulation is Is per cent higher than
that of few months ago. Sixteen hospitals in the
Metropolitan Area are furnished with blood
without charge and they give it to patients
gratis except for overhead expenses. The first
shipment of blood to Korea was sent yesterday.
Meanwhile, the local stock is being improved as
rapidly as feasible in advance of impending
emergency. . - e~E
81 Persons who previously have not donated
blood to the Washington banks" of the Red
Cross are especially invited to contribute. Volun-
teers responding to the appeal are entitled to
feeling of satisfaction in helping their own
friends and neghbors at home as well as the
fighting forces in Korea. Each prospective donor
is accorded health examination before giving
blood but the time required for the donor to pass
through the center, from registration to canteen,
averages only an hour. Intending donors should
telephone Republic $500 for appointments. The
center is open Mondays from am. to pm,
Tuesdays to Fridays, inclusive, am. to pm.
Employers generally are glad to grant time off"
in aid of the Red Cross campaign.
The demand for blood is urgent for the i'm
mediate future, and the experience of giving 1t
is one which a representative American is happy
to share

Dio a Little Further

Having brought the subject partially into the
open the Senate Crime investigating Committee
ought not to leave hanging in midair the dis
closure regarding some of the public relations
activities of Victor R. Messall. Mr.. Messall, who
was President Truman's secretary from 1885 to
1941 and manager of his senatorial campaign in
194 deserves the right to answer fully the serious
charges made against him by self-confessed
buyer of influence and of black market goods
According to testimony of this witness, David
Lubben, former New York candy manufacturer,
Mr.. Messall was paid $1,000 or $500 in 1914 or
1945 to intervene with OPA on Mr.. Lubbens
behalf. The New Yorker said he resorted to the
black market and tried to buy influence in Wash
ington in desperate attempts to obtain sugar for
his candy firm. Mr.. Lubben said he saw in Mr..
Messalls Office pictures of the President and "a
lot of you Senator'S" But Mr. Messall denied the
whole story, even when the committee counsel
read letter, signed with Mr.. Messall's name
telling of the public relations mans alleged
efforts to help the Lubben candy firm get sugar
supplies.
Although Mr.. Messall offered to check his
files for such letter, which he could not recall,
and to produce other records for the committee,
Chairman Kefauver indicated the investigating
group would let the matter rest and turn to
other phases of Mr.. Lubben's testimony. Such
decision, 4wever, would be unfair to Mr.

Private Aviation in Wartime

Private aviation, with special reference to
the small personal plane" field, proved during
World War II that it can perform an important
mission in an emergency as an auxiliary air arm.
Banding together in the Civil Air Patrol, the
civilians assisted In search and rescue work. in
forest fire spotting and even at times in anti
submarine reconnaissance. In view Of this
record it should not be necessary for private
flyers to organize in fear of being overlooked
in any new war emergency. Yet they have done
so and have come to Washington to urge that
definite plans be made to use their services in
the present or future crises.
dozen organizations of private aviation
interests have formed the Emergency Aviation
Council, representatives of which have presented
to the Civil Aeronautics Administration COM
prehensive plan for war mobilization OF its
members. The program calls for the listing
and security checking of all owners of small
aircraft, the establishment of control centers
for directing operations of civil planes in war
time, training of flyers in the duties expected
of them and organizing of them into groups,
ready for voluntary action. There are nearly
100000 privately owned airplanes available for
this program and potential pool of more than
half million pilots of all ages and degrees of
experience These flyers are represented as being
anxious to help in many ways by flying medical
or other supplies in time of disaster, for COM
munication purposes, for transfer of personnel,
for search and rescue missions, for target tow
ing and for countless other jobs for which
small planes of non-military characteristics are
fitted.
Both the Presidents Air Policy Commission
and the Congressional Aviation Policy Board have
recommended that full advantage be taken in
an emergency of the special services which can
be rendered by owners and pilots of non-airline
planes particularly those of smaller type. The
Presidents board said: I'm any future conflict
there is little doubt that an air-minded Nation,
with hundreds of thousands of civilian pilots
and mechanics and network of airports and
navigation aids, is better prepared for an air
war than Nation with undeveloped civil air
facilities" The congressional group reported:
Personal aircraft, private pilots and technicians
and the industry which supplies them, serve
public interest and national welfare as reser-
voir of aircraft and personnel for special tasks
during an emergency" The recommendations
OF these boards that plans be made for the
utilization of such resources in wartime should be
carried out without delay.
