|nteqrution VS.. Segregation

We are pleased to read reports from the armed
services on racial Indignation within their ranks. These re-
ports indicate that satisfactory, at times spectacular pro-
gress is being made in the vital task Of advancing true
democracy within the military establishment. Without a
doubt the war itself has served to speed up the processes
and thought-patterns that might have taken much long
er to develop without the stress of actual combat.
Changing concepts and customs which, for good
reasons or bad, have been deeply rooted in the minds OF
military men obviously is no overnight job. But we can
not help but cheer news from the Army that integration,
as opposed to un-American and un-Christian segregation,
has now been established in many training centers, though
the procedure is more gradual in combat units. Even in
these units, Indignation is being accomplished through the
use of replacements. The other services also show a will
ingness to obey the Presidents executive order of July 26,
1913, f~orbidding discrimination in the armed forces.
The job is far from complete! The Army, for ex-
ample, shows a Negro percentage of III among it's en-
listed men and only 81 among officers.
The Air Force figures are Sc percent for enlisted
man and only O.6 percent for officers.
The Navy has only 10 Negro officers. It is hoped
the officer percentages will grow as the non-discrimina-
ton policy becomes more and more effective.
We also hope that incidents such as discrimination
on Army overseas movement orders, reported a few weeks
ago by the NAACP, will soon disappear. Despite the
many problems which still exist, it is becoming increasing
ly plain that a plan of action once shrugged off as i'm
possible is being attacked firmly and intelligently. The
cracy's war at home as we'll as abroad. Our sincere hope is
that other links in the chain which makes America great
will wake up and wise up.

Senate Committee Accuses Army Of
 InexcusabIe and IndefemsibIe Waste

WASHINGTON, (P) - A Sen ate subcommittee has accused the army of ''inexcusable and inde- fensible waste" by "endlessly re- beating training cycles" for some units.
 A report by the group said that while these units are marking time" some other units are being trained at camps where there is not enough space for field work.
 "The nation gains no strength merely because more and more men wear army uniforms" the subcommittee said. With our acute national manpoWer shortage, any assembly of able-bodied men into a non-productive enterprise like unnecessarily repeated training is the most fragrant sort of waste"
 While rapping the army on this and other matters, the committee said it is clear that mo one service is more prodigal or more prudent than the others"
 Waste by military forces is not intentional, the report said, but simply resulted from unconcern with economy, an absence of gen. uine enthusiasm for efficiency, a widespread lack of any real cost consciousness.
 In a report to the Senate made public Tuesday night, the Armed Services subcommittee on defense preparedness suggested that pro- motion for military officers be based in part upon demonstrated ability to conserve men, money and materials"
 The group had previously crit icized what it termed waste by

ordinate private efforts to raise the $12O,OOO in fines levied against the four flierS.
 T can understand any official ransom payment by the govern ment might be embarrassing to the United States" Vogeler told a reporter in New York. "But I think this way we might accom- plish the same thing without em- barrassment to the government" "
 There was no indication as to how the State Department would react to efforts by private citi- zenS to raise the fine money and thus save the four fliers impri- Soned by Hungary from serving three months each in jail.
 They got lost in the air of Hungary Nov. 19 while flying supplies from Germany to the US. embassy in Belgrade, Yugo- slavia. Soviet fighters forced them to land their unarmed CAY on Hungarian soil.
 On Sunday the Hungarian gov ernment announced that a mili- tary court had convicted the fliers of violating the Hungarian bor- der and had fined them 60,000 florins (about $30,OOO) each, with the alternative of spending three months in jail.
 The State Department was still debating what to do about the Hungarian demands. Some mem bers of Congress have urged that the US. not pay the fines, which they termed a ransom demand. A department spokesman declined to comment on various offers to raise the fine money privately.

May Ask Flogging Penalty Betrayal Of Public Trust

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator Tobey R-NH suggested Wednes- day that the whipping post be re- vived to punish public officials who betray their trust.
 The sharp tongued senator told a reporter he is thinking ser iously' of asking Congress to inn pose the penalty of flogging for gross misconduct in federal office.
 Widespread irregularities dis closed by a House investigation of income tax frauds and Senate in quiries into government lending operations, he said, disclose a need for more drastic penalties.
 Lets revive the whipping post" Tobey said "They'd fear that. No punishment really can be adequate. But this practice of ac- cepting resignations of those who are caught Tn Wrongdolng IS child ishly inadequate"
 Senator Kefauver O-Tenn), in a separate interview, called for Congress to create a special, in- dependent commission to take over a governmental houSeclean- ing assignment which President Truman has said he will launch soon.
 Meanwhile Senator Wiley R-Wis) urged a public airing of affairs of the Alien Property Custodian's office, which he con- tends has been swayed by 'fbig money influence peddlers" in the past.

SlO Reward Paid For Capture Of General Dean

PUSAN, Korea, (P) - Police said Wednesday that TWO South Koreans led Maj. Gen. William F. Dean into communist captivity in August, 1850, for $5 apiece.
 Chief Investigating officer Yoon Myung Woon said the two had been arrested and freed on bail. He did not give the amount. Yoon said Cholla province police had orders to keep the men under strict surveillance"
 The officer said the two re- ceived "3O,0OO won ($5) each from the Reds for enabling the Red army" to capture the US. 24th Division commander near Gilman, about 35 miles south of Taejon.
 He said they admitted receiv- ing the reward for Deans cap- ture but declared they turned the money over to an unidentified Red organization.
 Yoon quoted the men as saying they had tried only to help Dean but they encountered Reds who captured him.
 Dean was reported missing after the fall of Taejon in July, 1850.

Accidental Death Toll Christmas Holiday 758
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The accidental death toll for the four-day Christmas holiday mounted to 758.
 This figure compares with the record accidental death toll of 761 recorded in the four-day Christ mas holiday in 1886.
 Traffic accidents caused more than 800 fatalities, but the 516 total was below the 600 predicted by the National Safety Council.
 Ice coated and snow covered highways in the Midwest sharply curtailed travel and appeared a major factor in holding the traffic toll under the councils estimate of 500.
 The accidental death toll does not include the 119 miners killed in a coal mine explosion in West Frankfort, H., last Friday night.
 The nations traffic deaths in 1851 already have passed 36,OOO, the largest total since the record breaking 39,969 deaths in 1941 and compares with 35,O00 last year. The death toll since the ad- vent of the automobile reached the 100000 mark last Saturday.
