surprise attack by the Commu-
nists, who were able to drive
in less than two weeks to the
gates Of the kingdoms capital.
It is difficult for military
men in Washington to under
stand how the enemy could
have concentrated three COM
bat divisions, with the neceS-
sary artillery and heavy
mortars for their blitZ, with
out the French knowing any,
thing about it. The only log
ical explanation is that the
enemy was able to gather his
forces quietly and the native
informers of the French COM
mand had been either unreli-
able or negligent. Otherwise
it would be difficult to under
stand why a general mobiliza-
ton of the Laotian forces was
not ordered until five days
after the enemy had already
penetrated deeply into the
country.
The significance of this new
Red aggression Is political as
well as military. The aim Of
the Communists is to place
another strategic slice Of Indo-
China under their control. In
the hands of the enemy, Laos
will become an excellent
Springboard for an invasion of
Thailand and Burma after the
monsoon season is over. In
this connection, the wisdom of
the U. N. in ordering the evac-
uation of some 10000 Chinese
Nationalist troops from north
ern Burma has become queS-
tionable, If the leftist socialist
government at Rangoon really
means to remain politically in
dependent of Peiping and
Moscow. Washington was in
formed recently that these
Chinese guerrillaS had become
useless after their last years
defeat in Yunnan. Only a small
segment of that force-some
5000 men, we were told-could
still be regarded as of any mil
itary value. This assessment
was contradicted not only by
the Formosa government but
also by some Western OBJ
servers in Thailand and in
Burma itself.

There seems to be a notion
that propaganda is composed
simply of printed words, radio
voices, motion pictures and
books. But the real propaganda
lies in responsible Government
action. The speech by Presi-
dent Eisenhower on April IS
was propaganda in the best
sense and, as such, was prob
ably worth more than all the
labors of all our professional
propagandists during all Of
the months he has been in
Office. The information serv-
ices part in that was limited
to carrying the speech to
people everywhere, and that.
generally speaking. indicates
the proper limitation of its
function.
The President on occasion
has something to say to the
world, as does the Secretary
of State, our spokesmen in the
United Nations. our ambassa-
doris abroad. Congress on oc-
casion has action to take,
affecting our relations with
other countries. What is done
and what Is said with authority
constitute the only propaganda
Of real value and this economy
minded administration could
save the country a lot Of
money if it would just realize
that fact.

Silver Fox Seized,
Heroin Cache Hunted
BY the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK. April 25.-Fed-
eral agents prowled the city's
narcotics haunts today in search
Of more than 100 pounds Of pure
heroin believed cached here by
"the Silver Fox" gang.
The search began yesterday
after the arrest of four men,
described as members of lone of
the biggest dope rings operating
in this country today"
Assistant United States At
torney Lloyd F. Mcmahon said
they had enough heroin hidden
away to supply 100000 addicts.

Lowell MeNett::

So they are going to "take
the State Department out Of
the propaganda business"
And they are going to set up
propaganda as a business Of
itself. The President Is said
to look favorably on a pro-
poSal to this effect by the
Government Reorganization
Committee, although in pass
ing it on to congressional
leaders he has not yet formally
approved it.
That expression, taking the
State Department out Of the
propaganda business, has been
used a good deal in the dis
cuSSions concerning our over
seas information services. It
has an interesting connotation.
It seems to suggest that prop
aganda Is not an altogether
nice business, not nice enough
for the State Department at
any rate. This connotation
naturally is denied. The State
Department, it is explained,
just isn't organized properly
to function in the propaganda
field and the inference is that
1t cannot be.
It Is o strange inference.
Organizing a propaganda op-
Grafton consists merely Of en-
ploying competent people, tell
ing them what is to be done
and giving them the facilities
for doing it. Propaganda is
only the expression in various
ways Of policy-a means Of
furthering policy. It isn't
something that can exist by it.

A large collection OF original
Japanese color prints is on
view in George Washington
University's library through
June. It is on loan from Robert
E. Scudder of Washington, who
until recently was with the De-
partment of State as assistant
chief of the library. On a
mission to Japan last year, he
made a collection of japanese
prints and books, which is i'm
preSsive on several counts: it's
size, its representation of mas
ters of the 18th, 10Th and goth
centuries, and its good condi-
ton, no small achievement for
a collector with limited time.
Color prints were the Japa-
nese popular art in the 18th
and early 18th centuries. They
depicted the popular actors,
fashionable courtesans, leg
endary heroes, dancers and
wrestlers familiar to the
masses. Other prints repre-
sented landscapes, temple fes-
tivals, tea gardens, boating

husband and her boss? Is it
better for her to acknowledge
her biological limitations. tack
her Phi. D. degree over
the sink and vegetate in
the monotony of home and
child care until a lonely mid
die age propels her to the
woman's club? Or should she
demand the right to keep one
foot in the home and one in
the Office and risk a two-bread-
winner family where the ten
sion rises to the point that
her husband will snarl: What
both of us needs is a good
wife"
In the absence of economic
pressures, there are good argu-
ments on both sides. "Of
course" says novelist Merle
Miller, in a cutting contribu-
tion to Women Today"
"woman's place is in the home.
She is neither very happy nor
very comfortable nor very use
full anywhere else"
End to Slavery
Anthropologist Marc aret
Mead disagreeS. elimination
of the semivoluntary slavery to
housekeeping that we now i'm
pose on married women in the
United States should open the
way for an equally significant
set of inventions in that key
spot of our civilization, the
home, where not things but
human beings are produced
and developed"
In her book, Miss Komarov-
sky, with the aid of many case
histories makes out the case
for heavier emphasis on home
making courses in college and
for broader partnership in the
home. IF we cannot give men
their former advantages
Qargely based on the old con-
cept of masculine superiority,
the best chance of adjustment
would come through less rigid
definition of masculine and
feminine roles and a wider
range of accepted patterns Of
life"
So the argument RACES. In
cidentally, it is interesting that
neither book takes note of the
Spinster in the modern world,
except for an anonymous fe-
male, Don Juan's contribution
to Woman Today" They have
not received much attention in
all lately apart from an excel
lent volume called, "The Single
Woman" by John Laurence.
Otherwise, they are expected,
as always, to fend for them
selves.

parties and other familiar
scenes.
Japanese painting and
prints were developed from
handwriting. a fine art. Hence
the prints lines have the ease
and expressiveneSS of callig-
raphy. There are no shadows
in Japanese figures. and no
chiaroscuro, and perspective is
obtained by adroit use of color
or design. This may have
seemed strange art to Ameri-
cans up to 40 years ago. But
having become acclimated to
post = impreSsioniSm, fauvism,
cubism and other isms, most
of us today probably find Jap
anese prints appealingly nat
uralistic.
Earliest printmaster repre-
sented in the Scudder collec-
ton on view is MaSanobu,
whose Tea House in Tokyo"
is a historical document of the
early kabuki popular stage of
Japan. There are five prints
by Hokusai, first of the great
landscape artists of the Uki-
yo-ye School, into which he
put creative talent when it
had shot its bolt in the devel-
opment of figure prints. At
this time, travel had developed
in Japan, and there was a
great demand for reproduc-
tions of the beauty spots Wis
tied, just as we purchase pic
ture post cards.
Nearly half of the present
exhibition is composed of
prints by Hiroshige. the 18th
century's other master of
landscape. He obtained
charming effects of light and
