Moonshining Dominates
Most Big Cities Today

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10. -
Large scale moonshing has moved
out of the hills and rural areas
and is now dominating every large
metropolitan area from coast to
coast. According to John w. Wool
file, special assistant to the gen
eral counsel of Schenley lndust-
tries, Inc, "bootlegging has be-
come big business giving employ
ment to thousands and threatens
economic strangulation to d'sti!l-
ers, wholesaler and tavern keeper
alike"
Nowadays, in any city, bootleg
gers entice patrons into hole-in-
the-wall dives, back alleys, and
one-man speakeasies where they
are inveigled into buying slugs Of
Illegally produced alcohol, either
straight, mixed, cut, dirtied or

There is such a place! There is

sands on thousands of men and
women come of their own free will
to show kindness, tolerance, gen

These men and women are of all
groups-all creeds, all c%olors, all

to this place to give their most

They do not say: Give my blood
only to Jews, or only to Catholics,
or only to white men, or only to

Those who receive this gift do
not ask: Is this the blood of a

moonshine operations will show
that in Philadelphia, it was re-
ported by the Inquirer, a daily
newspaper, that bootleggers were
doing a business of $125,000 a
day. The article went on to ex-
plain that the bootlegger who pays
$25 for a five gallon can of al
cohol can "cut" that four times
and get 160 pints. He then retails
the untaxed moonshine at a dollar
or better a pint.
The Schenley representatives
points out that "the American peo-
pie must be educated, must be
alerted, to the present danger.
Also everybody in the industry
must share in the job; it is every

an explicit bearing on current
politics. though everything he
does say will be construed as
having an implicit meaning.
The general has stated that
he is not indispensable to the
European command. He is con-
vinced that the job will be a
prolonged affair, possibly last
ing for several years during the
period of international tension
which has been variously esti-
mated by American officials as
likely to last up to 10 years or
longer. Under the circum-
stances. Gen. Eisenhower be-
lieyes that either Gen. Gruen-
ther. his present assistant, or
Gen. Ridgway. the Far Eastern
commander. is qualified to take
over the post and carry on ef-
fectively. But it is thought that
Gen. Ridgway cannot be spared
from his Far Eastern RESPONSE
bilities and that the President
and Secretary Of Defense Low
EFT are more likely to choose
Gen. Gruenther.
The decision to come home
was arrived at by Gen. Eisen-
hover on the basis Of what has
been accomplished in Europe to
date. The Lisbon Conference
and the setting up of plans for
the European army make it
possible now for him to leave
Europe, where he had agreed to
serve until January l last.
Gen. Eisenhower also has a
high sense Of loyalty to Army
tradition and doesn't feel that
any one in uniform should be
actively involved in politics. He
had thought that. by declining
to make any speeches or state
ments on political issues, he
would be able to keep himself
free from active participation
in the political scene in the
United States. But when the

does not believe his own victory
there against Senator Kefauver
would be decisive enough is in
dicated by some high-powered

ton is confused but this time
with an important difference.
For years Democrats there have

then the 100000 "write-ins'' in
Minnesota's primary happened,
it was evident that separation
Of Dwight Eisenhower from po-i
ltical happenings in the United
States was out Of the question.
He began to feel that Euro
peans. too, wouldn't understand
1t and that. whether or not he
was nominated. he should at
least be completely disasSociated
from his European command as
early as possible. The activities
in the United States and the
uIlpreced edented expression by the
Minnesota voters forced him to
make the decision that the COM
mand post should not be handi-
capped in the slightest by polit-
ical oyertones.
The generals attitude about
this is so conscientious that he
has told some of his friends in
Paris lately that he has virtu-
ally decided to resign from the
Army altogether when he
leaves his European command,
which would be before the
Republican convention. This
means he would give up about
$4,000 a year in retirement pay
and his five star" rank, which
Congress provided for q few
generals and admirals who

hover didn't win the nomina-
ton or election, Congress could
some day restore his status and
his Army pay. But, If he is
elected President, he would have
to give up his Army position
anyway. as the compensation Of
a President is fixed by another
law Of Congress and he couldn't
receive pay larger than that
specified for the Chief Execu-
tive.

Dovid Lowrence:

Gen. Eisenhower has be-
gun making arrangements to
transfer his command in Europe
to q successor to be chosen by
the members of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The generals decision to re-
linquish his command was made
In Paris a few days ago. He
communicated his decision to a
few friends and let them know
that his next step would be to
inquire just what was the best
method for carrying the decision
into effect. This is in process
now.
Whether O supreme COM
mander simply has to notify the
President and the Secretary Of
Defense. or whether he must
submit his request for relief
to the heads of the various
governments, the fact remains
that about six weeks is needed
to consummate the transfer Of
command.
The target date for the change
Is somewhere between May Is
and June /.
Thus, If the arrangements go
through without delay, Gen.
Eisenhower plans now to be
back in the United States by
June /. The Republican con-
vention opens July z in Chicago.
This decision by the general
doubtless will be interpreted as
meaning that he will engage in
an active campaign for the Re-
publican presidential nomina-
tion. But this Interpretation
will not be correct. The general
still feels that he should not
campaign during the pre-con-
vention period. He will, how
ever, make two or three
speeches at non-political func-
tions. 1t is doubtful whether

nese editors about the dangers
to Japan from q concen-

and irltirnated that that force
could be set in motion in a short

is even more shaky in the Far
East than most superlcially in-l
formed people believed.
Then Sunday the general
urged the American people to
have patience with the slow
moving Korean ceaSe-fire parley
because on its outcome depends
the peace Of the world. This
statement was followed by the
announcement Of q partial news
blackout regarding the last and
most important part Of the
negotiationS-th question of
the exchange Of prisoners Of
war. It was explained from
Tokyo that Confidential Ses-
sions" might give staff officers
more leeWay in working out a
compromise on this deadlocked
issue.
The cease-fire talks have not
been conducted completely in
the open The representatives Of
the belligerents met in tents at
Panmunjom where they talked
for an interminable time. Then
the American public relations
officer, Brig. Gen. William p.
Nuchols. gave the reporters q
brieflng related to the days de-
velopments. Only the highlights
Of the negotiations were. pre-
sented. And when 1t was inad-
visable to present more than a

negotiations were difhcult. The
American public relations officer
succeeded IN obtaining the
American peoples backing by
informing them correctly about
the preposterous demands Of the
enemy, thus preparing public
opinion for the step-by-step con-
cessions we were making. Al
though these concessions were
not always palatable, they were
only mildly opposed at home.
For all iiltents and purposes.
however, Gen. Nuchols had a
free hand to withhold informa-
tion from the American re-
porterS.
Gen. Ridgway's decision to
pull the curtain Of total secrecy
on the remainder Of the talks
dealing with the vital exchange
of-prisoners problems appears
strange since it was he who last
summer protested most vigor-
ously the attempts of the Red
delegates to prohibit newspaper
correspondents from entering
the,ariniStice discussion area. He
actually ordered all negotiations
stopped until the enemy agreed
to permit the press to cover the

For this reason some political
quarters in Washington believe
that the new move announced
Sunday by Gen. Ridgway was

posed on him by higher quarters
in Washington. Gen. Ridgway

Lowell MeHett::

The candidacy of Oklahoma's
Senator Robert s. Kerr for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation is a curious thing. He
is offering himself to the peo-
pie Of Nebraska just now as the
heir presumptive Of President
Truman. But the presumption
must be all his own.
If the President decides to
stand aside this year. he will, Of
course, throw his influence to
the man who most nearly repre-
sents his own views, on the one
hand, and the man most likely
to win, on the other. And he
naturally would expect the one
to be the other.
For reasons not too clear he
does not seem to find this logical
successor in Senator Estes
Kefauver, despite the latter's
Fair Deal voting record in the
Senate and despite his vote-get-
ting record thus far in the pri-
maries. OF the few other names
mentioned, none has appeared
to have his approval save that
Of Gov. Adlai Stevenson Of
Illinois. The Governor sees eye
to eye with the President on
most Of the basic issues and he
has given convincing evidence Of
his vote-getting ability in his
own State. The Governor, how
ever. has shown q reluctance to
get into the race, at least in this,
the primary, stage. That leaves
nobody much except MIR. Kerr,
unless the candidacy of Senator
Richard Russell of Georgia
proves to be something more
than q holding operation for
Southern delegates.
Senator Kerr entered the

and after they regrouped their
forces and received more mill
itary supplies from Moscow. they
did not hesitate to break 1t and
took Manchuria from the Ma
tionalists. This was followed by
their complete victory over the
American-friendly Marking gov-
ernmert.
AS for the effect the sigma
ture of q truce in Korea would
have on world peace. the ex-
pectations of Gen. Ridgway
seem to be contradicted not
only by the statements in WASH
ington Of Secretary Of Defense
Robert A. Lovett who spoke last
week about the arrival Of Chi
nese Red troops In Indo-C China,
where q shooting war Is expected
to grow in intensity. but also by
his own statements that the
Russians are concentrating large
forces with Japan as their final
aim.
The Chinese and Korean me-
gOtiatorS at Panmunjom have
given no reason to induce the
most optimistic individual in
the world-and Gen. Ridgway
is a realist--that they look
favorably toward q peace in
Asia. Their truculent, deceitful
and scornful attitude through
out these nine months Of nego-
tiationS has never changed. And
If anybody has any doubts about
the Kremlin's dictation Of
armistice terms he has only to
draw q parallel between the ac-
cusations of the Reds that we
are using germ warfare and the
murder Of the $4,000 Polish Of
ficers during the last war In the
Katyn Forest.
In both cases the strictly
neutral international Red Cross
at Geneva was invited to investi-
gate by the West, and in both
cases such investigation was
scornfully rejected by Moscow.
