The IMPOSSIBLE
CONVERSATION
BY James I NARROW

WASHINGTON,-tP, The
world is so deep in mess that
more conversation seems unlikely
TO get very far toward ending the
tensions.
That's why any talks among the
big four - US, Britain, France
Russia while they may settle
small problems, can hardly fix
the big ones.
Last November the Russians
proposed meeting of the big
four's foreign ministers to discuss
what allied the world and look
for answers.
They had reason to be concern
ed When they made the suggestion,
This country and its II Allies in
the North Atlantic pact had start
ed rearming in a big way, SER
iously, for the first time.
Until then the Russians, with
their huge armed forces, had been
like an untroubled and unopposed
giant loose in the land of Europe.
The pact was going to balance
that power with power.
But the gulf between the AL
lies on one side and the Russians
on the other was so wide that it
took them from November, when
the suggestion for meeting was
first made, until March before
they could agree on how and when
and where to meet.
Even then, instead of meeting
of the foreign ministers, they
agreed merely on a preliminary
meeting of their deputy foreign
ministers in Paris.
The deputies were supposed to
agree on a list of things which
the foreign ministers themselves
could discuss when they met. This
in itself was like shadow boxing,
since the foreign ministers back
home first had to approve every
thing their deputies in Paris
o6ALCd W.
Still this procedure of getting
the program set up by the dep
uties had reasonableness: 1t
would save the ministers time
when they did meet they
wouldn't have to haggle over what
they'd talk about.
This Paris meeting of the dep
uties, starting March 5, eventual
ly became grotesque for now,
three months later. they're still
In session and still haven't reach
cd full agreement.
The big, stumbling block is
the Atlantic Pact. The Russians
want it on the must list of
things for the foreign ministers
to talk about. The Allies are will
ing to let it come up in discus
sion but Won't want it as must. :"
It's a certain that Russia's for
eign minister Vishinsky would dis
cuss it anyway denouncing it
for propaganda purposes, if
nothing else but SO long as it
wasn't on the must list of things
TO be talked about, the Allies
could brush off his long orations
against it.
If, though, they ever let il get
on the must" program. they'd
have to debate it, defend it, and
perhaps even bargain about it or
be accused of making a farce of
the discussion from the start
The Russians argue that the
pact, which is a great military al
lance. is a threat to Russia and
world peace. The Allies argue that
Russia, with its huge armed
forces, is the real threat and the
pact is only defensive; that if
Russia doesn't make any agrees
sive move in Europe. she doesn't
have TO worry about the pact.
This became strictly a stand
off argument, a clear sign we are

NEW YORK, -tPl-America is
a strange land where the old
people arc forgotten and the
young arc denounced.
Right now the scapegoat of our
times is the teen-ager.
Practically everybody seems
to be picking on him. But as far
rs I can tell his basic crime con-
sists in the fact he is over twelve
and hasn't yet reached the age
of 20. He is in his teens, and that
seems automatically to make him
a criminal suspect these days.

Equity Suit Filed
Over Mine Land

An equity case involving a dispute
over 1872 acres of Garrett county
land, leased for the mining of coal
was filed yesterday in the Allegany
County Circuit court at Cumberland
James Magruder and Leona H.
Magruder, his wife, through attorney
Horace p. Whitworth. Jr., filed the
suit against the Koontz Coal COM
pany, Of Barton.
The bill states the Magruders pur-
chased the acreage in 1896. In June,
1913, they entered into an agreement
with the Koontz Coal company where
by the firm was granted exclusive
right to use most of the acreage for
mining coal.
The Magruders contend that the
company failed to comply with terms
of the agreement by failing to erect
and maintain fences on the property
and also charge that the company
failed to open and maintain a roadway
as stipulated and changed the road
way.
They contend further that mac
feasibility of the road made it impos-
sible for making of hay on the prop
erty and that because of lack of fences
the pasture land also was lost.
They ask that the company be re-
quired to perform covenants in the
agreement and that they receive COM
pensation for damages.

UNCLE Sam

Even the barrier of centuries has
not stopped the efforts of some
claimants. One lady in New Jersey
asked the government to pay her
$264 that was supposedly owed her
great great grandfather, Michael
Dickson of Georgia, for organizing
battalion of minutemen in 1777.
She still had the letters from Dick
son, by gum, and that seemed proof
enough to her. Fortunately, there
are essential records that go all
the way back to the disburse-
ments General Washington
made to his soldiers.
The trouble with the claim was
that although Dickson had tried
to get the money in 1876, there was
no record that he had ever served
in the Continental Army or in Gen.
eral James Jackson's Georgia COM
mand. So his great great grand :
daughter was unable to collect.
More fortunate in pressing a long
standing claim, however, was Albert
c. Crandell of Boston. Back in
1895, MIR. Crandell worked for the
governments Steamboat Inspec-
ton Service at 1850 a year. But
through some oversight, he was
shortchanged $3.50. Years later he
came to the Comptroller General
with his claim. In 1889, just a
Evening star., 1951-02-18

years after payday, he collected the
rest of his salary.
Despite their historical fascina-
ton, such claims can no longer be
considered by the Comptroller Gen
eral. A 1910 law has established a
1O-year time limit, so if your great
uncle was owed money by the
government for dashing up San
Juan Hill, you're too late to collect
now, unless the claim was made
before the ruling went into effect.
What to Do
How do you file a claim? Anyone
with three-cent stamp can do it.
You need no lawyer. There is no
trial board. Simply write a letter
over your signature with the facts
of your claim, and send it to the
Claims Division of the General
Accounting Office.
All claims are given an exhaustive
investigation by the General Ac-
counting office. During this time,
you can write or go to the Office of
the Comptroller General for infor-
nation or progress reports. Because
of the vast number received, most
claims take several months to settle.
Ifyou disagree with the settle
ment, you can ask for a personal
review under the supervision of
the Comptroller General him
self. Just submit written applica-
ton within years time.
And if you are still unsatisfed
with his decision, you always have
a recourse - the courts.
Don't get the impression that

proof. Still determined to get more
cash from Uncle Sam, he simply
took the photostat to the local
store and cashed it.
People who live near airfields are
continually trying to take a bite
out of the government for damage
they insist planes are inf1icting on
their possessions. A Western cattle
raiser demanded $244. 60 because an
Army plane had scared his steers
and forced them to break out of
their fence. But when the Comp
troller Generals examiners found
the fence half-rotten, the claim was
turned down.
They Asked the Experts
lHEN goat-dairy owner in Pensa-
cola, Fla, tried to slap Uncle Sam
with $456 bill because Naval
planes from the nearby base had
scared his pregnant doe goats, so
that they. fell paralyzed from
fright, never to walk again or de-
liver their kids" This problem in
animal obstetrics was too much for
the Comptroller Generals lawyers
so they called on the Agriculture
Department for advice. The experts
reported that no airplane could have
inflicted such emotional shock on
any goat - no matter how neurotic.
