The VA Economies

At time when governmental economy Is
imperative, it is>welcome news that the Veter-
ans Administration has found way to save
50 million a year in administrative overhead.
Veterans Administrator Gray has ordered con-
Solidation at Philadelphia of insurance offices
on the Eastern seaboard, including the regional
Office at Richmond, Virginia, that now serves
the District and nearby States.
The merger will mean abolishment of the
district Offices in Boston, New York and Rich
mond. Discontinuance of the New York Office
alone is expected to result in savings of 81 mil
lion in rent, salaries and other expenses. More
than half million will be saved at Boston and
nearly 900 at Richmond.

In Aid of Flood Relief

The Federal Government has taken or is
taking action to provide rehabilitation for the
communities in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and
Illinois overwhelmed by the unprecedented
floods which have swept over those States since
May 26. Congress has appropriated $25 million
to aid in the repair or reconstruction Of damaged
or destroyed public facilities 1t also is studying
Army plans for $37 million worth of flood con-
troll projects long since devised but never before
examined constructively by the national legis-
lature. Meanwhile, many independent agencies
with funds available are moving into the scene
of the worst disaster of it's kind ever experienced
in the midwest No further action by Congress
is needed so far as these activities are concerned
What most is wanted right now is money
for the Red Cross to use in furnishing individual
family rehabilitation.
information received from the States af-
fected by the floods indicates that the number
of families needing such help exceeds 45880. The
estimated total number of families which reg
istered with the Red Cross up to last week was
17,075 These neighbors of all other Americans
normally resided in "a counties. To aid them
to get on their feet, 80 shelters are being op-
Grated More than 1851 persons are being
housed more than 1885 fed The paid per-
sonnel taking part in this work is only 179. An
official report explains that the number OF
volunteers who have given endless nours OF
service to assist the flood sufferers has run to
thousands Nobody has had time to count the
army of men, women and children who freely
have contributed their labor to the enormous
task of relief
But the expenses of the endeavors OF the
volunteers must be financed The Red Cross has
asked for a minimum of five million dollars
specifically to help families impoverished and
bu ho 1nnrnca6entPd iniln.
dations This sum seems altogether inadequate,
but it is the amount that is appealed for at the
moment All the more reason, then, why 1t
should be oversubscribed Immediately. Every
American worthy of fellowship with other Amer
leans should be glad to give generously and
promptly. The quota set for Metropolitan Wash
ington is $4,000 Checks should be made to-
American Red Cross, District of Columbia Chap
ter, and sent to 1880 street Northwest.

The Right to Be Let Alone

Fourth of July enterprise by the Madison,
Wis, Capital Times, gave Mr.. Truman the text
for sort of gee-whiz sermon during his Detroit
speech on Saturday. Think of it," he exclaimed,
'in the capital of the State of Wisconsin, on the
Fourth of July in this year 1851, good Americans
were afraid to sign their names to the language
of the Declaration of independence. That's
what comes of all these lies and smears and fear
campaigns. That's what comes when people
are told they can't trust their own Government"
The Capital Times reporter who made this
test explains that he took copy of petition
containing excerpts from the Declaration of
independence and the Bill of Rights to public
park on independence Day and asked people to
sign it. Only one out 112 people approached
was willing to do so. At the same time, petit
ton was being circulated in the same crowd by
the American Peace Crusade, asking for re-
moval of American troops from Korea Some OF
the people asked by the reporter to sign his
petition thought it was the American Peace
Crusade petition.
Well, if there is any moral to this story, The
Star is inclined to think it is good one, not
bad one. For it is downright encouraging to
note that there are many people left in this
country who are unwilling to sign something.
The tendency, in recent years, seems to have
run the other way. There have been so many
joinerS Of organizations so many sgners OF
petitions and kilograms to your Congressman,
so many appeals for this and that so many
movements to put pressure on the individual in
favor of something or against something, that
we are, perhaps becoming tardily skeptical. And
If this is the case, it is good thing.
If newspaper reporter went out on the
street and asked passers-by to stop and sign
statement to the effect that they believed in
the Ten Commandments, the probabilities are
that most of his customers would turn him down
But the results of this experiment would not
be convincing evidence that people are against
virtue The more reasonable conclusion would
be that people want, more than anything else,
the right to be let alone, and the right to mind
their own business.
And this, in The Stars opinion, is worthy
aspiration.

Does Tito Have q Date With Destinv?
To the Editor Of The stor:

I read with great interest the edito-
rial, 'Molotov's Latest" in The Star Of
July "a. You are, Of course, quite right
in commenting that Mr.. Molotov's allu-
Sions to YugoSlavia imply that some
kind of direct action may soon be at
tempted to overthrow Tito and once
again drag the country behind the iron
curtain"
When Yugoslavia was first excluded
from the Cominform the American press
was full of speculations that Tito had
little to fear by way of direct action
because such would be a fragrant exam
pie of aggression, the very idea Of which
was claimed to be condemned by Com
munist theology. People were forgetting
that among brothers there could be no
question of aggression, as the ordinary
rules no longer apply. Later, when the
matter grew more serious, it was claimed
that the Yugoslav Army would be more
than match not only for the Bulga-
rlan, Romanian and Hungarian forces,
but also for the Russian auxiliary troops.
These were illusions and, as soon as the
crisis became acute enough, they were
fortunately abandoned. And then began
the talk of the need for American help
to Communist Yugoslavia as measure
OF expediency.
1t is true that if Stain hesitated so
long before attempting Tito's liquida-
ton, that it was not because he feared
the Yugoslav Army, but because he did
not think it worth his while to risk q
world war over Tito.
Stain knows the value of the Yugo-
slav Army better than any one else: He
tried it in 1941. when he made all kinds
OF promises to the Belgrade government
in order to enable the latter to fight
off the Germans long enough to make
campaign against the u S. S. r. in
the same year impossible. But Yugo-
slavia was. and still is, an extremely
heterogeneous state, composed of a num-
Der OF nationalitieS, each of which is un-
willing to sacrifice itself for the others.
Thus. when the Wehrmacht rolled into
YugoSlavia the country's mobilization
plans failed lamentably: Croatians, SIo-
venes and Macedonians either refused
to follow mobilization orders or sur
rendered en- masse. And three days after
the opening of hostilities, organized re-
sistance ceased in Yugoslavia with the
fall of the strategic centers of Nish and
Skopie, followed by Belgrade itself. The
Yugoslav Army disintegrated and dis
appeared completely.
Today. these ethnic divisions are COM
plicated by political factions-Commu
nists and Communists, and also
Titoists and Cominformists among the
Communists.
All this explains the increasing prob
ability of showdown between Stain

Abandoned Pets
Lee Somers.

At this time of year there are surplus
puppies and kittens. Many kindly dis
posed persons set these waits adrift,
abandoning them in hopes that some
one will give them a home. But it
seldom turns out this way.
It is easy to be humane. Persons with
unwanted pets should call the Animal
Rescue League. In Prince Georges
County. call the County League at Union
0887. If these agencies can't find homes
for the pets, then they will dispose of
them mercifully.
Let us show mercy and be kind to
such humble creatures

Big Problem of the Small CoIibers

The four-power conference on small-arms
Standardization to begin here shortly has re-
ceived little public attention, but it will be of
great Importance to Western security, neverthe-
less. The discussions among military representa-
tives of Great Britain, Canada, France and the
United States are intended to settle differences
which could seriously hamper the allied program
for safeguarding the North Atlantic nations
from Red aggression.
The differences have to do with the SEEM
ingly minor problem of adopting a standard
caliber for the common rifle. The issue has
come to head as result of the British
nouncement of intention to adopt .28 caliber
rifle for infantrymen, instead of the 80 cali
ber preferred by the United States. If the
British plan is carried out, big blow will have
been struck at the program of Standardization
agreed to by our English and Canadian allies
after World War II The standardizing of war
materials actually began during that war, when
the United States was striving to live up to it's
reputation as the arsenal of democracy" Con-
siderable progress has been made toward elm
mating disparities between American and British
war equipment of varied types, including naval
as well as army ordnance and other materiel.
The latest conference was requested by
Canada, which has no desire to be caught in
the middle of a controversy-if such should
develop-over smal1-arms caliberS. 1t would be
extremely unfortunate If dispute should arise
at this time over such relatively trivial point.
It would certainly be against the interests of
the North Atlantic pact members to have their
troops using rifles of different sizes. Building
an effective Western defense force under such
conditions would be difficult task for General
Eisenhower or any other commander. That is
why the forthcoming conference assumes SO
much Importance to military authorities and
why every possible effort must be made to reach
an agreement with the least possible delay.
They're still at work on that new code of
Washington ethics, and what's the matter with
the old rule, about sitting the money with a
ladder and only pocketing what falls through?

seems to me that making its major ac-
