HeroIdry
Somewhat gingerly, the re-
porter brought up the subject of
heraldry itself.
Don't be nervous" said the
chief of the heraldic branch.
Almost everybody-except pro-
fessional and amateur heraldists
wonders how the ancient art
Of heraldry can have any pos
sible application to modern
armed forces.
"Heraldry is an integral part
Of the design of seals, for one
thing. and in our branch we
have designed seals for the
President, Vice President, Sec
retary of State, National Mill
tary Establishment, Department
of the Air Force-heaven knows
how many others.
"Heraldry is tied even more
intricately into the designs of
coats of arms. Take the coat Of
arms of the 145th Infantry Bat
talon. Its crest is taken from
the Texas State seal. Its shield
stands for defense, colored blue
for the infantry. Mexican bor-
der service in the Big Bend dis
trict is shown by a simulated
river, crossing the shield in what
is called in heraldry a bend
Spanish War service is shown
by a sheathed Roman sword

Mr.. Du Bois drew a deep
breath. "One trillion, three
hundred and seven billion, six
hundred and six million, three
hundred and sixty-eight thou

disregarding shades of colors,
which would have run the fig

catalogued by the plastics in

Arthur E. Du Bois is chief Of

termaster General of the United
States Army. That is the cor
rect title of the man who might
be called, more loosely. boss Of

tire Department of Defense.
The difference between the
two designations may seem un-
important, but Mr.. Du BoiS has
the reputation Of being some
thing of a stickler for details.
He is supposed to be a hard man
to interview. If you refer to a

term is bend sinister.")

Isroel's Economy
Ten Per Cent Forced Loan Is Latest Move
In lions Struggle to Attoin SoIvency
By Belmont Fories

Five one-pound notes repre-
sented more cash than one five
pound note in Israel last week.
AS Israelis lined up outside
their banks to exchange their
old Anglo-Palestine currency
for new issue, the lucky citizen
was the one with a wad of small
bills. He got an even exchange.
On five-pound notes and up,
10 per cent was deducted as a
compulsory loan to the Govern
ment. A similar charge was
made against all bank deposits
of so pounds (about $l40) or
more.
In repayment. the Govern
ment issued savings bonds car
rying 4 per cent interest and
maturing in IS years.
No WoiIing
It was bitter economic medi-
cine. but public and press took
1t quietly. No one cried con
fiscation." Israel, born in a
financial crisis and never out
of one, was accustomed to 'un-
usual financing.
But though there was little
complaint at the idea of a forced
loan, there was some criticism
OF the uniform 10 per cent rate,
which obviously hit the little
man more than the one with
larger reserves.
A somewhat more equitable
distribution of the burden was
in prospect, however, in a spe-
cial levy-detailS to be an
nounced later-against property
owners.
Hardest hit by the currency
exchange features of the decree
but in no position to protest
were the Israelis with boarded
black market profits and those
who had Smuggled currency
abroad. The black market
operator faced the risk of in
veStigation if he turned in
money he could not explain.
But the old notes would be
worthless if not exchanged by
June %.
Smoking Out Gosh
The breakdown on black mar
ket profits, while effective, was
only a secondary goal of the
forced-loan decree. Chief pur-
pose, as explained by Finance
Minister Eliezer Kaplan, was to
get some Is million pounds out
of hiding for use by the govern
ment in economic development.
1sraels great economic prob
lem since the beginning has
been to step up agricultural and
industrial production to the
point where she can support her
population without depending
on foreign gifts and loans.
Even with a war-depleted
treasury, imitation to control
and an entire economy to re-
vive, the job might have beer
done with a relatively stable
population.
Population Doubled
But Israel's population is far
from static. Already more than
doubled since 1948, it is expect
ed to be trebled by 1855.

BY Crosby S. Moves

AS an exercise in advanced
crystal-ball gazing, the forth
coming Democratic primary
here provides a fine workout. It's
not so much a question of how
the vote will go. The names of
only two presidential candidates
have been entered in the con-
test. Up to this point, Senator
Kefauver Is conceded a wide
margin over his opponent, w.
Averell Hartman.
What stumps the dopesters
is the size of the vote. This is
a matter which has received a
good deal of attention from
candidates and local party lead
ers. It also is Of interest to
those who have observed the
phenomenon of awakening po-
litical interest among Washing
tons traditionally disinterested
residents.
The Big Stoke
Above all, party pride is at
stake. Local Republicans last
month turned out a record
breaking registration of more
than 1000 and a vote of 1869.
If the Democrats don't equal
this record. there will be a lot
OF explanations to be made. /
In figuring the odds on inter-
party rivalry there is very little
to go by. No one can point con-
f1dently to registration figures
because the Democrats, unlike
the Republicans, do not require
their voters to register in ad-
vance. Past performances are
no better yardStick, at least in
the hopeful opinion of Demo-
cratic leaders. In 1948, with
President Truman as the only
candidate, less than 400 Demo-
Gratis bothered to vote.
On the face of it, the Demo-
Gratis should have no trouble
beating the G. o. P. record.
In the first place, there is no
complicated rigamarole of regis
tration like neighborhood con-
ventions and other confusion
that characterizes the G. o. P.
method Of running a primary.
All Democrat has to do is drop
in at any firehouse, sign the
book and cast his ballot.

ant or, for that matter, griffin
statant."
Perhaps you'd like to hear
the answer to another of the
questions am constantly
asked-namely, why silver out
ranks gold in our country's
metal insignia of rank. Why is
a first lieutenant's bar silver,
but a second lieutenant's gold;
a lieutenant colonels oak leaves
silver but a majors gold? The
explanation is that, at one time,
colonels' eagles were made both
in gold, for colonies in the in
fantry, and in silver, for the
other arms and services. When
it was decided to standardize
them, it was found that a ma
jority Of the colonels had silver
eagles, so silver was made the
standard metal for colonels' in
sigma. This precedent estab-
lished silver as the ranking
metal"

Disseminated immigration Of
Jews--has flooded Israel with
newcomers from all parts of the
world. Many of them are with
out useful Skills. Many arrived
with only the clothes on their
backs. But it is a flood that no
Israeli politician would dare OPP
pose.
In their long struggle for a
Jewish state in Palestine. the
zionists looked forward to max
ing Israel a homeland for all
Jews who wished to return.
First act of the new provisional
government in 1948 was to null
lily the hated British White
Paper limiting Jewish immigra-
ton. In the Law of the Re-
turn" passed in 1850 the Israeli
Parliament proclaimed again
that "every Jew has the right
to immigrate to Israel"
That policy, deeply rooted as
it was emotionally, also had
some practical advantages. Sur

enemies. Israel needed man.
power to fill up the empty spaces
and provide strong military
reserve.
One-Tenth Immigrant
But unlimited immigration,
even though paid for in large
part by the gifts of Jews abroad.
brought staggering problems.
One crisis followed another. The
DIP camps of Germany, Aus
tria and Italy were cleared first.
Then Yemen allowed its op-
pressed Jews to leave. Poland
and Romania permitted mass
departures for a time. At one
point one-tenth of Israel's total
population was living in i'm
migrant reception centers.
Aside from the costs of settling
the newcomers, funds had to
be found to expand food pro-
duction to meet minimum needs
Of the expanding population.
One way or another, the bulk
of the money had to come from
outside Israel.
$500 Million in Gifts
BY far the largest contribu-
ton came in outright gifts from
Jews Notwithstanding like
$400 million from the Jewish
community in the United States
in the first three years.
In addition, many American
Jews made direct investments
in Isreali enterprises. Still more
are buying the new Israel bonds,
with $121 million already sold
this year. The United States
Government has helped with
Export Import Bank loans and
direct grants under the foreign
aid program.
Last weeks forced loan will
not solve all Israel's economic
problems. Outside help in large
amounts will be needed for years
to come. But in the forced loan
the Israelis are showing a de-
termination to pull their own
weight in solving the practical
problems that go with the
Zionist dream Of a Jewish home
land.

Point Four Deficiency
Private Investment Phase of the Program
Has Never Got Out Of the Talking Stage
By RoyoI Purcell


Most folks don't realize it.
but Americas Point Four pro-
gram originally consisted of two
parts-the spread of technical
know-how to underdeveloped
countries, plus increased invest
ment of private United States
capital in underdeveloped areas.
Since President Truman first
announced the program three
years ago, the proposal to pro-
vide technicians has become a
multi dollar reality.
But there has been scant in
crease in private United States
investment abroad.
Businessman Eric Johnston,
for one, believes the lag danger
Gus: 1.-THE success Of the Point
Four program may be leopard
lied if we do not speedily find
the way to exert the full force
of private initiative in it's sup
port"
Prior to World War I, almost
all economic development was
carried out through private
funds. Since War II, private in
vestment has occurred only on
relatively small scale. For the
United States, such investment
abroad amounts to less than half
of l per cent Of the total
national income.
Johnston. as chairman for the
International Development Ad-
visory Board (Which keeps tab
on Point Four activities), has
urged closer partnership be-
3 tween Government and private
industry in a common attack on
low standards of living around
the world.
lotest Proposal
s~ The latest proposal toward
this end has come from the In
ternational Bank for Recon-
struction and Development. The
bank has reported favorably on
an international Finance
Corporation" which would be
designed to stimulate private
investment.
The corporation would bring
together investment oppor-
tunities, both foreign and do
mestic capital and experienced
management. It would even sink
some money into economic
projects if they were considered
essential and desirable. The
corporation could publiciZe
investment possibilities and
act semi-experimentally where
necessary.

District Democrats Are Working Hard to Get Out the Vote Next Tuesday

Negro vote, is humping the
drum of civil rights and an end
to local segregation. Senator
Kefauver fails the Capital
Transit Co. with q canny eye on
down-trodden bus-hoppers.
All signs, in fact. seem to
point toward Tuesday as a red
letter day in the meager annals
Of local party history. 1t is
only when one starts to analyze
the reasons for the big Re-
publican turnout that a doubt
creeps in about the size Of the
coming Democratic vote.
The G. o. P. owed it's good
fortune. in large measure, to a
happy combination of national
and local issues, reduced to the
dimensions of a personal con-
test. On the national level, there
were Senator Taft and Gen.
Eisenhower. Identified with Mr..
Taft on the local level was the
Republican Old Guard. men
Of considerable community stat
ure who had ruled the local
party for years. Ranged against
them were the Eisenhower
rebelS-young, enthusiastic and
quarrelsome. The issues were
clean-cut and not undramatic.
They made good newspaper copy
over a period Of weeks before
the election. When it was over,
the Taft forces swept the field,
but the victory belonged right
fully to the local men rather
than the Ohio Senator. The vote
that sustained them was a cliff
dweller vote, cast by long time
residents rallying to the sup
port of men they knew and ad-
mired.
No Old Guord
There is nothing of this ele-
ment in the Democratic pri-
mary. For one thing. it appears
that few Washington cliff
dwellers are Democrats. For
another. no one, in all con-
science, could expect a voter to
work up much enthusiasm over
the local party situation.
Not that there is any lack of
activity. The major character
istic of District Democratic
politics is that every time some
one has an argument, he goes
out and starts another club.
The result Is a plethora of
organizations, with similar
names and purposes, involved in
a spirited and permanent inter-
necine warfare.
Stimulating as this may be, it
is not the sort of thing that
captures the imagination of the
average voter. The fact that
each organization, including the
Central Committee itself, has
brought out it's own slate of
favored candidates for local
party office is unlikely to bring
the citizens of Washington
flocking to the polling places.
So far as the size of the vote
is concerned, the Democratic
primary on Tuesday will stand
or fall on the interest that can
be aroused in the Kefauver-
Hartman showdown. It seems
improbable, in view of the very
short time he has had to work
on it, that Mr.. Hartman will
succeed in making very much
of the civil rights issue. No one
would be brash enough to pre-
dict the turnout at this stage,
but the feeling remains that the
primary honors will remain
with the G. o, P,

test between presidential candi-
dates is much clearer. There is
no necessity for identifying any
particular slate Of local candi-
dates with particular presiden-
tial hopefulS. The names of
Mr.. Hartman and Senator
Kefauver are on the ballot.
All the voter has to do is choose
between them.
