A SUBSTITUTE Is NO
REPLACEMENT

General Alfred NJ. Greuenther,
chief of staff to General Dwight d.
Eisenhower, and Ike's probable
choice as a successor (if he decides
he needs One), said on arrival in
Washington: The tide is flowing
our way"
Since he explained he was under
strict orders from the boss" to
stick to the problems of SHAPE
and not be drawn into politics, we
must assume the remark indicates
optimism in the progress of NATO
European defenses.
He told the Senate Foreign Re-
latiOns Committee. however, that
following World War II, Russia
had maintained 175 divisions, 10000
aircraft and 300 submarines 'in be-
ing" (ready for war service), and
had added sixty-Odd divisions in
the satellite countries. "Informa-
tiOn available to u.s." he said, in
dicates that the military power of
the SOviets continues undiminished
as regards land, air and naval
forces. 1t is, in fact, increasing in
some aspects; for example,
through growing stOckpiles of
atomic weapons, through the addi-
tiOn of submarines of newer type
and larger numbers, through the
improvement of their air force and
by expansion of the soviet indus
trial base"
There can be no question but that
General Gruenther is building uI
a strong case for the Administra-
tion's S7,90O,OOO,0OO foreign aid
program. But there is a very large
question of its full approval, even
on the plea and testimony of Gen
eral Eisenhower himself, whom the
committee may yet call to Wash
| ingtOn.
at is not the business of Gen
eral Eisenhower" GrueGther said
ito delve into the economies of the
/ NATO nations" He went on to say
however, that the Supreme Com
mander constantly stresses the
importance of understanding these
economies because of their tre
mendous importance to the mill
tary effort"
1t is Ike's view, he says, tha
economic and military efforts defy

A year ago, General Macarthur
wrote in his famous letter to Rep
resentative Joseph w. Martin of
Massachusetts: ut seems strange
ly difficult for some to realize that
here in Asia is where the COmmun-
ist cOnspiratOrs have elected to
make their play for glObal con-
quest . that if we lose the war
to Communism in Asia the fall of
Europe is inevitable we must
win. There is no substitute for vic
tory"
And at his hometown, Little
Rock, Ark, General Macarthur
said this week: For me the shad-
Ows are deepening"
Nor do they seem to be lifting
for any of us including the
boys of his late command . who
are still alive.

COVERAGE OF NEWS

Editor Warren Reed of the WALNUT
BUREAU, of Walnut, Iowa, printed an edi-
tOrial some while ago entitled Editorial
Cuts, which is worthy of comment. Mr..
Reed reports that he was taken to task by
readers for Onitting two stories from his
paper, the implication being that he hadn't
the editorial CUTS" to print them. ''In both
cases" says Mr.. Reed, "it was merely a
matter of not enlarging on stories which
already had spread way too far in the COM
munity. We have taken criticism before for
not printing certain stories" he sums up.
Owe have taken criticism now for not print
ing certain stories but rest assured, we in
tend to hang on to what some desire to call
editorial CUTS and go right ahead using our
own little rule Of thumb: Does it serve a
purpOse%."
We think we know what Mr.. Reed means.
Before us, as we write, is another paper from
the same state, in which the publisher is
practically breaking his arm patting himself
on the back editOrially over his contributions
to the community. And featured on the front
page is a story headed: 1.-TWO TEENAGE
GIRLS ARE DELINQUENT. The story
should, Of course, have been covered, since
the girls were committed to corrective insti-
tutiOns by the court. But it hardly seemed
necessary to the advancement of community
ethics to report the girls names the paren-
tage of one, and the school affiliations of the
other. 1t is with satisfaction that we can
report, that from our observation, there are
more Warren Reeds among Americas week
ly newspaper editors than there are thought
less men who abuse position they have no
moral right to occupy.

A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT

Many Americans most of whom are at
least honest, sincere patriotic citizens, are
beginning to ask a question which should be
answered. They are asking: would it make
any difference if we had a Republican in the
White House?"
1t is an honest question and deserves an
honest answer.
1t wsll make this difference: A Republi-
can in the White House will return a large
measure of government to its rightful place,
and that is to the States, communities, and
individuals. He will oppose bureaucracy and
work with the Congress. He will avoid the
pitfall of Socialism which has so devastated
Britain and France. He will, then, according
to the principles of the Republican Party, be
obliged to uphold the freedom of oppOrtuni-
ty and of incentive.
It will make this difference: A Republi-
can in the White House will be under obli-
cation to balance and control the national
budget, and by so doing, to avoid the very
real danger of national bankruptcy. Eco
nOmic collapse of the United States is the
hope and prayer of international COmmu-
nism. If it happens, their battle for world
domination is won.
1t will make this difference: A Republi-
can in the White House will approach the
problems of American Foreign Policy with a
clean slate. He will not be bound to the tragic
errors of Yalta and Teheran. Nor will he be
obligated to defend the gross mistakes of
the sell-out in China. With the confidence of
Congress and the American people, he can
confront Soviet Russia with all the might
of an united America.
1t will make this difference: A Republi-
can in the White House will restore integrity
to government. With integrity goes conf
dence And in these times we must have
confidence.
This is the difference. This is what Re-
publican President can do. And these are
things that no Democrat successor to the
Truman Administration can do.

separation"
And it is our view that the man
who can unscramble economic,
military and political efforts does
not live.
Certainly, if, as General Gruen-
ther says, THE tide is flowing our
way" it is not entirely due to the
moon, and we should be profound
ly grateful to General Eisenhow-
er. But, the Grunether testimony
would indicate the tide has a long
way to flow before NATO is ready
for launching against Russia. Thus,
it is difficult to believe that so great
a patriot and so dedicated a sol
dier as Ike will voluntarily weaken
the forces he has so patiently and
labOriously set in motion.

PRICES HERE AND IN RUSSIA

A short time ago the wife of the Ameri-
can ambassador to Russia came home with
some clothes she had bought in that wonder
full workers paradise" She made known
the price she had paid for them, along with
the prices she would have had to pay for
similar articles here. In Russia, the dress
cost S128.20-in the u. S. it would sell for
S35 The hat cost S34.90 as against S16.95
in America. The gloves cost $3.50 as against
$500 in one of our stores. Only the shoes
were similarly priced in both countries
everything else cost two to six times as
much in the u. S. S. r.
The disparity is even greater when the
take-hOme pay of Russian workers, which is
far lower than that of their American equiv
alents in purchasing power, is considered.
This is how matters go in a nation which
has destroyed almost all private enterprise,
and has put government mOnOpOlieS in it's
place. The Russian factory belongs to the
government and produces only what some
official decides it should produce. The Rus
sian retail store also belongs to the govern
ment and the prices it charges are fixed by
the government. The Kremlin dictatOrs have
deliberately kept prices high in many cases.
in order to make sure that the peoples earn
ings come straight back into the government
Golfers. The result is that the great masses
of the Russian people live on what Ameri-
cans wouldn't even regard as a subsistence
level.
Contrast this with apitalism-which is
the economic system of competitive free en-.
terprise. In every field of production, big
and little factories are trying to sell more
goods-and they must offer the best value
possible or the trade will go elsewhere. Elk
actly the same thing is true of retailing
where hundreds of thousands of stores of al
kinds and sizes are competing for the favor
of tickle public that can patronize whom
it chooses in free market. What system
does the most for the people?

Notebook
By Jacques FutrelIe. Jr.
The Stor's Trovei Editor.

Speed traps, the bane Of early
day motoring, are on their way
back.
Testimony is found in the mass
of complaints against entrapment
in 1851. The file Of protests
collected at national headquarters
of the American Automobile Asso-
citation is the largest yet in modern
motoring, writes Richard Tupper
lin the current issue of the Ameri-
can Motorist. Nearly half the
States are involved. And almost
always, according to Mr.. Tupper.
lit is the small town along a
major highway that causes the
! trouble
| Mr.. Tupper's article delves en-
jtertainingly and informatively
into the history of speed traps.
But it's all to make this point:
The individual mortorist can help
in doing something about it.
He says:
IF you should run afoul OF. a
traffic trap in your journeys ana
be forced to pay fine and costs,
the chances are at least a hundred
to one against your ever getting
your money back. But there is
something you can do.
after you leave the j. P.'s OF
flee, drive around the town long
enough to note the names OF the
principal hotels, restaurants and
business Establishments. Find the
name of the towns mayor. Get the
names of a few motels on the
highway leading out of town.
when you get back home. start
writing letters. Write to your
local motor club and send a copy
to AAA national headquarters.
Write the Governor of the State In
which the incident happened.
Write to the mayor (unless he was
the one who soaked you) and to
the proprietors of businesses in the
community.
"These letters will set many
wheels in motion"
The article makes. no attempt
to temper legitimate enforcement
Entrapment is something else. On
this situation, Mr.. Tupper says:
There are two sides to the en-
forcement problem. Too many
motorists are prone to disregard
posted speed limits and other
regulations when on their trips
away from home. At the same
time, an increasing number OF
small communities are preying on
the visiting drivers and hauling
them in for petty or technical
violations with a substantial fine
and heavy costs as tribute"

To Speed Service to Shore

A Civil Aeronautics Board re-
certif1cation hearing of All-Amer-
ican Always, which includes re-
quests for change of service on
the Washington Atlantic City
route, began last Monday and is
continuing this week.
All-American now flies a Wash
Iington-New York route via Allan
tic City, with three intermediate
stops between Washington and
Atlantic City. Another segment
runs from Washington to Sails
bury, Md, via Baltimore and
Easton, Md. A summer service
extension from Salisbury connects
that city with Atlantic City via
Georgetown, Rehoboth ach,
Del. and Cape May-WildWood,
N. j.
A completely new system would
be put into effect under All-Amer-
leans proposals. Instead of the
three stops presently included in
the Washington Atlantic City
segment, there would be only
one. However, all stops presently
served - excepting Vinel a n d =

would be given at least two round
trips daily. What this plan would
do. in effect, is to speed up service
from each of the intermediate
stops to Washington and Atlantic
City. A passenger getting on at
one of these intermediate stops
now may have to stop at one OF
two other stops before arriving at
Washington or Atlantic City. Un-
der the new plan it would be non
stop service.
The intermediate points to be
served would be: B ltimo or e,
