years of free schooling with the government paying the expense of their education.
 It should be remembered by Americans at this time that when the bill passed it was feared that there would another repetition of the appe-sellng veteran on the streets of our cities The prospect at that time was that, when the ended, peace-tme industry could assimate the released labor force and, consequently, something should be done to en- courage the veterans to improve their educational status Much the same thought behind the unemployment compensation payments plan.
 While there have been some abuses of the pri- viges extended to the veterans both the part of the veterans and on the part of institutions of learning, the main result of the program has been excellent The minor inefficiency and the fact that some of the veterans have not applied themselves to learning as much as to drawing the subsistence al lotment do not change the fact that, in the main, the veterans behaved themselves in a manner to justify the governments expense
 From many college campuses have come favorable comments on the industry and behavior of the G. l. students In fact, the went back to school with the serious intention of taking advantage of their opportunity Their behavior and scholarship com pared favoraby with that of regular students in our colleges and universities.
 The headline of July 25th applied to most of the veterans of World War II-those discharged be- fore July 25th 1947 Veterans discharged after that date could begin their training within four years of the time they left the service The probability is that similar provision will be made in behalf of the veterans of the fighting in Korea.
 At the peak of the program, in 1947 more than one million veterans were on the campuses ot the nation getting free tuition and subsistence grants At this time close to 5O0o0O service are still at work in colleges and universities, although the number is dwndling very rapidly

JUDGE FOOTBALL ON ITS OWN MERITS

The suggestion made by several members of Con- gress that football be suspended at the United States Military Academy where ninety cadets are involved for cheating in examinations, to be another in stance of using an unrelated incident to put inter- collegiate athletics under @ cloud.
 We are well of the fact that over-emphasis has been placed on football at great number Of institutions and that, at times, it may be a cor upting influence on those athletes who get the idea that their main job at college is on the football field and not in the study hall
 Nevertheless intercollegiate football should be con- sdered in relation the overall picture of college education The sport should not be judged solely by the unhappy fact that, at one or two institutions, athletes have permitted to disregard their studies or, what is worse, have cheated on examinations in order to make passing grades

Let Us Alone Club
Jonlin (MoD Globe


 Down in Mississippi they have recently announced the organization of a club. Membership It IS stated is small, exclusive and anonymous" There are no dues and no officers At the first meeting statement of principles drawn up as follows: we don't want no pensions
 "We don't want no minimum wages.
 we don't want no government houses to live in. we don't want no government loans.
 We don't want subsidies.
 we don't want no bureaucrats telling us how to make a living.
 We don't want no socialized medicine or no sociazed nothing.
 We don't want to have to pay no poll tax, but as long as we do have to- we don't want nobody paying it for us
 we just want to be left alone to make our own way as best we can and long as we can
 At last accounts the membership was undecided as to a name for their organization. Some stood out for Let Us Alone,' but some others thought we Don't Want Nothin' would be better. Anyway the name isn't as important with an organization which has such refreshing objectives

Rubber Industry Is 'Soeialized,' Says Tire Head

The rubber industry is com pletetly "socialiZed" in the fields of supply and usage, John L. Col lyer, B. F. Goodrich company president announces.
 In the statement, he asked for appointment by President Truman of a commission to study the problem and develop policy of competition in rubber.
 Collyer urged that the govern ment take steps to desocialize' this major industry by selling or leasing to private industry the American rubber plants it now owns. The present rubber act be- came law in April, l948 and will expire June 30, l952.'
 Collyer issued the statement at the time of the Akron All-Ameri- can Soap Box Derby.

other Tito in Poland, Czechoslo- vakia or Hungary. That, of course is what Stalin fears most.
 There have been reports in pre- vious years of trouble behind the Iron Curtain, but never as many as now. Two hundred Communist leaders in Bulgaria are reported under arrest; P Soviet generals and high Soviet officials have died mysteriously in the last seven months; four Czech generals have teen arrested or committed suicide in six months; nine Of the high est officers in the Polish army were tried for treason; 12 Polish seamen on minesweeper mutin- jed, locked up their officers, and deserted to Sweden; four young Poles fled to Sweden in a stolen bunet-riddled airplane; three Li- thuanians locked up other crew members on a Russian trawler and escaped.
 Why People Rebel
 This throbbing unrest inside the Iron Curtain has been caused in part by Soviet war preparations which have been going on for some time. When a government takes too much of the necessities of life-food, fuel, consumer goods -away from it's people they rebel. When a Polish miner who hates Russia anyway is ordered to work harder to produce war material for Communism. he gets restless, likewise with the Czech uranium miner and the Hungarian farmer who never did like collective farming
 No nation in its right mind though dictators seldom are in their right minds makes war when the civilian population be- hind the lines is certain to rise up against the government That's why the unrest behind the Iron Curtain is so important. To illus trate the seriousness of this situa- tion and the importance of inten- sifying our propaganda, here is a brief summary of the best under ground reports I can get of what is happening behind the Curtain:
 Czechoslovakia The Czec S have now recovered from the stunned apathy which followed the initial seizure of their country by Moscow and are beginning to get their courage back A serious food shortage, blamed on the Russians, is partly responsible. On top of this the Voice of America, which predicted the arrest of for eign minister Vladimir Clements and four other Czechs had it's ef- feet Finally, Radio Free Europe has sent such devastating barrages of propaganda into Czechoslovakia that the Czech government has
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-08-14

demanded that Radio Free Europe be taken off the air.
 kremlin Suspicious Increasing Poland Resentment against Moscow is so serious that Vyach- eslav Molotov, now the No. man
 to Stalin and seldom seen in pub lie, made a special trip to Warsaw Il to warn the Poles against follow ing Tito. The importance of this
 warning is shown by the fact that
 Marshal Grigori zhukov, hero of Berlin. and Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, military ruler of Po- land, appeared with Molotov on the same platform. Behind this warning was the fact that the railroad between Berlin and Mos COW is sabotaged so frequently that repair crews are kept busy night and day. Production is drop ging. The Catholic church is leading a potent underground and the Kremlin has become so sus- picious of top Polish generals that nine of them have now been tried.
 Bulgaria Ulcer to CominfOrm
 Bulgaria = A peasant revolt has held up delivery of wheat to Rus sia and brought battery of So- lviet officials hurrying into Sofia. About l5,000 have been added to the 30,000 already in concentra- ton camps, while treason trials have shown that the Agrarian tor peasant party, once the strongest in Bulgaria, now operates a pow erful underground. Agrarian lead CTS have encouraged the peasants to withhold crops and join guer- rilla units in the mountains so successfully that the official Com inform newspaper called Bulgaria an ulcer" and criticized Premier Chervenkov for allowing the un- rest to spread.
 Roumania - Minister of Na- tional Defense Emil Bodnaras has been arrested and there have been mass evacuations of those Suspec- ted of disloyalty to Moscow.
 Hungary - Deportation of thous- ands of Hungarian peasants to concentration camps to face slav- cry and death have been recently denounced by U. s. Secretary of State Acheson. The leader of these mass arrests is Bela Szanto, Mos trained Hungarian especially sent to do the job. Szanto is a ruthless butcher who has already jailed 10000 peasants because they have held back their grain or re- fused to collectivize their farms.
 East Germany - MoscoW's ef- forts to build a Communist Ger man army have been partly frus- trated by the desertion of officers of the peoples police" to West ern Germany Three separate un- dergrounds operate among the Russian and Red army personnel inside Germany.
 This is just part of the story of now stirring behind the Iron Curtain and the oppor- tunity awaiting American propa- ganda.

Addresses Rotary

Responsibilities of service clubs
during the present war crisis was
the subject discussed by Miss Lu-
ella Zehner, Oak Harbor attorney,
before the Port Clinton Rotary
Club Tuesday noon in St. John
Lutheran Church.
She pointed out that service
clubs represent high strata of
responsible citizenship, and the
great burden of patriotic educa-
ton depends upon this type of
leaders Zip, which is drawn from
all walks of life.
The speaker also described in
detail the broad and diversified
activities of women's clubs, both
business and social, which con-
tribute literally to the stability
of present day American civic
standards.

Refor1ner Of Drunks
Gets Skid Row Job

William Sterling, So, we'll known
to Port Clintonians for his out
standing work in rehabilitating
alcoholics throughout Northern
Ohio, has started on a new $4,000
job as director of rehabilitation
work in Detroit's Skid Row.
A native of Fremont, Sterling
was appointed by Mayor Albert E..
Coho, of Detroit, last week, fol-
lowing a social service survey.
His new work will be centered
around three objectives, which
will embrace rehabilitation serv-
ices to inmates of the Detroit
House of Correction, establish
ment of a consultation center and
establishment of non-punitive
farm where former Skid Row vic
Tins may recuperate.
Sterling claims he was once a
resident of Skid Row himself a
few years ago. After he had stud
led alcoholics and their problems
at Yale, and Texas Christian
Universities he started lecturing
on the pitfalls of drink. During
the past four years he claims to
have led many persons from the
drinking habit to useful lives in
their communities.
