VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN UNITY

Gen. Eisenhower is back from his European trip
and to report to Congress regarding the European
side of worlds tension and French Premier Rene
Peven in Washington seeking assurance from Pres-
dent Truman regarding cold war strategy in case Com
munism comes westward The following editorial from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, with reference to France
especially, is timely:
Whether due to Gen. Dwight d. Eisenhowers
personal magic to the recent insistence of Repubh
can leaders that Western Europe do greater share
toward its defense, the action of the French
National Assembly in giving Premier Rene Pevens
100 million rearmament program a vote of conf
dence very welcome augury that the Western
allies mean business and that the Atlantic Pact is not
merely a load which the United States alone is
carrying.
The vote in the National Assembly-333 to 1871
was decisive enough to put at rest fears that the
French republic unwilling to accept the serious

U. S. Bungles

This strategy has made much
more progress that most people
realize, and has been speeded up
by the following factors:
/. When Iran faced famine in
1e48-50 we hemmed, hawed. and de-
layed about sending wheat. Mean :
while, our reputation as human
itarian nation vanished.
2. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Com
pany, owned by the British govern
ment, has operated as if Iran were
colony.
8. We have sent Iran considerably
less military and economic aid than
her neighbors.
a. The s25,O0O,Ooo loan extended
by the export-import bank had SO
many conditions attached that the
Iranian Parliament will probably
veto it.
U. S. Ambassador Henry Grady
has been pounding Washington cor
ridors trying to pry loose the $751;
100000 in a hurry. He is getting
nowhere fast.
Meanwhile, Iran has cut off the
Voice of America, has given free
play to the Voice of Moscow, and
has negotiated a new trade treaty
with Russia, giving favorable treat
ment to Iranian products. In brief,
Moscow has found that friendship
pays, and is working at it over
time.

that Iran is on the verge of toss
ing aside its traditional friendship
with the U.S.A.
Unquestionably what Russia is
aiming at is development of Iran by
peaceful means. To do otherwise
would ruin the oil supply. For, any
arl d clash lover Iran would
bring about bombing and the de-
molition of Trans oil wells, thus de-
feating Moscow's chief reason for
taking over the country.
Tee Soviet strategy, therefore, is

Not Bad Enough, Maybe
Cincinnati Enquirer


Gilbert Seldes who has written extensively on the
popular arts told group of people in New York the
other day, that Hollywoods bad" pictures mad de-
TERED adult people intellectually adult, that Isl from
going to see them And that avoiding MOVIES was no
way to apply pressure for better ones
An executive Vice President OF the Council OF
Motion Pictures Arthur L. Meyer, speaking before
ne same group said that if people really wanted good
pictures they could have them by making them profit
able--that is by going to them. Hollywood could
not afford to turn out superior films If people did
not CO.
Both of these gentlemen appear to be saying more
~ less the same thing with different overtones
Yet possibly the potential audience for proft-makng
superior" films does not exist of the pictures that
critics considered 950s best only one squeezed into
the top 10 at the box office
Mr. Seldes contention that the avoidance OF
movies was not an effective way to apply pressure
for better ones could be discussed, we think. More
than ANYTHING else a falling off in revenue should
indicate that something might be wrong with the
product 1t probably is the general average OF me-
diocre pictures that have done whatever damage has
been done.

WATER POLLUTION STUDIES ARE BEING
 MADE AT KETCHIKAN

In an effort to gain knowledge in advance which will prevent de- velopment of waste problems that normally accompany industrial growth, planning of Biological, chemical and physical studies are under way, according to Amos ]. Alter, administrator of the Alaska Water Pollution Control board.
 The investigative work began last week in the Ward Cove area, some five miles north of Ketchikan by scientists of the U. S. Public Health Service Water Pollution Control division and the Arctic Re search Center working in coopera- tion with the Alaska WPC board. Studies in that area are being made in view of possible pulp mill de- velopment, Alter said, saetst sas Industrial waste without proper disposal will endanger marine life
 and fisheries activities, he pointed out. jsaE if v s' Spending day in the Juneau area the scientists left for Fair banks today to continue their studies from there and from Anchorage. In each area, the plann- ling work is being carried on in cooperation with local representa- ltives-of the Alaska Water Pollution Control Board and the Alaska De-
 partment of Health. The detailed
 investigations to follow will be car
 ried on by the Alaska WPC board.
 Alter said. ii n #o ' In the group assisting with ! this
 original planning, he said, are: R.
 R. Harris, officer in charge of the
 U. s. Public Health Service Drain
 age Basins office in Portland; John
 Wilson, Pacific Northwest Drainage
 Basin biologist; E. K. Day, senior
 sanitary engineer of the Public
 Health Service who is representing the Arctic Research Center at Anchorage; and the local sanitar- ians and sanitation engineers and
 other representatives of the Health department and Water Pollution Control board.
 1 Wherever possible, studies are be- ling utilized which have already
 been made by the U. s. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Forest Serv- ice and the Coast and Geodetic
 Survey, it was pointed out by pr Dwight Cramer, Ketchikan member lof the Water Pollution Control
 Board.

CHANGE OF HEART

Army officers not all heels, and enlisted men facing cour-martial have learned this fact the hard way When the rules were changed to permit soldiers to request enlisted to serve court-martias de- fendans at first almost invariably requested enlisted personnel to sit in judgment on them. However the Associated Press reports the situation has changed and that now a soldier who reaches the point Of court-martial almost always goes out of his way to say No enlisted men, please"
 It seems that courts composed of officers are more sympathetic and hand out lighter punishment. Most enlisted men serving on courts are old-umers with good They feel nothing but disgust for fellow-soldiers who do not fit into the scheme of things and their feelings reflected in verdicts they reach and punishment they recommend.
 There was little doubt that our system of court martial needed overhauling but the in the ranks themselves are showing by their actions that it wasn't the bars leaves eagles stars a mans shoulder that necessarily meant rough deal for the common soldier His own companions of equal rank have proved even rougher when empowered with the right to sit judges

Sen- ator Wiley of Wisconsin has asked the labor department to investigate racketeering in the labor unions and to assist the Senate Crime commit tee in uncovering hoodlums who in- filtrated into the labor movement. Wiley cited the recent series of killings, bombings and beatings in the Chicago teamsters' union. :. Pat Hurley, wartime ambassador to China, tried to get appointed special counsel to the Republican Senators Investigating the MacArthur con- troversy. He offered to prepare the case against Secretary of State Acheson and to supply them with embarrassing questions to ask Ach- eson. However, the Republicans de- cided they could handle Acheson alone. COP strategy on Ache son has now been reversed. Instead of trying to prove Acheson appeas- ed the Communists, Republican Senators ironically are now accus- ing Acheson of provoking the Kor- can War against the Communists .. Maine's Sen.

Smuggling to Russia

Inside fact about the war mater ials being smuggled into Russia is that some of the biggest German firms are guilty.
 This Is confirmed by confiden- tial report given the state depart ment by U. $. High Commissioner John J. McCloy who estimates that $250,000,000 worth of ball bearings, chemicals, carbon black, nickel, machine tools, airplane parts, steel tubing, bomb cases and scrap iron is moving behind the Iron Curtain every year.
 McCloy's probe reveals that the stage was set for mass exports to Russia at secret meeting in Dus- seldorf in November, l949. when an unnamed East German Communist met with Ruhr industrialists and promised them an unlimited market for steel products and machine tools in China, Czechoslovakia, Ru- mania, Hungary and Austria. Pres ent at this meeting were a number of Ruhr manufacturers who played ball with Hitler
 The evasion of American prohib- itions against shipments to the Iron Curtain became so open that Ruhr businessmen took advertisements in Eastern German Communist news papers, as I reported from Germany last winter At least two of these firms, Guetthoffnungs Werke and Demag, both large recipients oi Marshall plan aid, advertised ir the Communist Press. One news paper even reported in detail how manufacturers might eyade U s restrictions on shipping behind tho Iron Curtain.
