Soviet Slave Labor

With ten countries abstaining and the
Soviet bloc alone dissenting, the General Assem-
bly's Social Humanitarian and Cultural Com
mittee has voted SO to to keep the issue of
slave labor alive and kicking in the United
Nations.
AS result, the findings of special U. N.
inquiry into the subject will receive full conSid-
Grafton at the 1854 session of the Assembly.
The Russian representative has inveighed
against the action at great length, bitterly and
venomously, but that is quite understandable
in view of the Slave-state character of the
Soviet Union.
Thus, despite some post-stalin amnesty
moves by the Malenkov regime, the Kremin
still enforces set OF. grim laws to educate"
and punish 'class-hostie" individuals and
unstable elements" in the Russian population.
In other words, the victims of these laws are
men and women whose political attitudes have
displeased Moscow and who have therefore
been sentenced to varying terms of forced labor
in an elaborate network of concentration camps.
These people, who have been reduced to
the status of ill-fed and terrorized slaves pro-
vide the dictatorship with a great source of
cheap labor. Leaving aside their fellow-victir1S
in Red China and other lands behind the Iron
Curtain, there probably are upwards of 10 mil
lion of them in Russia alone. Judging from
documentary evidence, Cney i've unQer CIle
most miserable conditions and those who are
sentenced to long terms are lucky if they sur
vive the experience.
In Russia, of course, even so-called "free"
labor is subject to the severest kind of dis
ciplinary regulations, but the slave labor is
incomparably worse off. The Iron Curtain has
not been able to hide that fact, nor can Soviet
TRADES in the U. N. shout down the truth of
its existence. 1t is real and terrible thing
affecting such large segment of the popula
ton that the country itself may rightly be
nkened to kind of dungeon.
Unfortunately, this is situation that can
not be eliminated by passing resolutions against
it. But the U. Ms active interest in the issue
is nonethelesS worth while. For by directing
international attention to the evil, by discussing
and exposing it in detail the world organization
may be able in time to pressure the Kremlin
and its satellite regimes into becoming less
inhumane.
Meanwhile, in any effort to evaluate Soviet
power vis-a-vis the free world, there is good
reason to keep in mind the slave-labor aspect
of Red totalitarianism Such system, formi-
dable as 1t may seem to be, cannot be genuinely
strong as long as 1t has oppressed masses at
its base.

I have written, I have written" A few
years ago there died in Paris woman
who had the dubious reputation of
being "the best-dressed woman in

thing for which the book Of the years
gave her distinction. After her death
it was found that the chief item If her

Traffic Suggestion

The new system of traffic lights at
18th and F streets has proved success
full, the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic reports, and it will be installed
at five more intersections.
1t would be more successful SO far as
pedestrians are concerned if diagonal
crossing were permitted as is the case
at the three busiest intersections in
Milwaukee. There, all pedestrians reach
their desired corners quickly. Here,
many do not have time to cross both
ways and must wait much longer than
formerly to reach their destinations.
Application Of Milwaukee's system,
including diagonal crossing. would re-
suit in happier pedestrians, fewer toots
on the policeman's whistle, and no ad-
ditional restrictions on motorists.

Senators PLANNING
Reorganization Of
Military Sub-Group
By John A. Giles

The Senate Armed Services
Committee decided today to
shake up drastically the compo-
sition of its Preparedness sub
c o m m j tee, which has been
called the watchdog" Of the
Defense Department.
The Senators, at a long morn
ing session, took up internal or
ganizational matters while top
military personnel chiefs stood
by to explain how officers are
promoted from the lower ranks
to generals and admirals.
At an afternoon session, Chair
man Saltonstall said individual
cases will be taken up if there
is time. Presumably the group
will decide whether to investi-
gate the failure of the Navy to
promote its top atomic scientist,
Capt. H. G. Rickover.
Ex-officio Members.
Senator Saltonstall said the
Prepar redness subcommit-
tee would be composed of all Is
members Of the full committee
as "ex-ofhcio" members of the
sub-group, with himself as chair
man.
subcommittee will be ap-
pointed from time to time to go
into specific subjects. Senator
Lyndon Johnson, Democrat, of
Texas, headed the subcommit-
tee in the last session and is
sued a number of critical reports
on a wide variety Of subjects.
The group will consider the
nomination of 80 Navy captains
for promotion to rear admiral.
A board Of nine senior admirals,
which selected the 80 officers
passed over" Capt. Rickover.
Since he has twice been consid-
cred for promotion and not Sc
lected, he must retire June 30
under the law. The 80 selected
already are holding temporary
flag rank under interim Presi-
Dental appointments but must
be confirmed.
Will Show Correspondence.
Chairman Saltonstall will lay
before the committee corre-
spondence between Representa-
tive Yates, Democrat, of Illinois.
and the Navy Department and
others relating to the Rickover
case. Mr.. Yates has been highly
critical of the selections.
A committee aide said a de-
cision to investigate probably
would depend on a review Of
the correspondence and the
Navy's explanation of the case.
The committee could refuse to
approve the list until it included
Capt. Rickover, who has been
identified as the officer largely
responsible for developing the
first known nuclear-powered
submarine.

moved into the controversy over
civil liberties and academic free

ton. They also listed five major
topics for study:

In announcing the study, fund
directors said that in their opin-

civil liberties today ais the men
ace of communism and Commu-

Coupled with this threat is the
grave danger to civil liberties in

Ellen thought so, too.
She could hardly wait until she
got home to tell her mother about
the red shoes. Mother" she cried
breathlessly as she ran into the
kitchen where her mother was MAX
ing a cake. Mother, know what
I want for my birthday. I saw them
today in the store window"
Mary EIlen's mother smiled.
'"Slow down, dear, and take a deep
breath. Now tell me-
So Mary Ellen told her mother
about the red shoes. Mother, will
you come down tomorrow night
after school and see them?"
Mary Ellen's mother promised
that she would, and 50 the next
night after school, she met Mary
Ellen and they went to see the shoes.
"Aren't they beautiful, Mother.
May I have them for my birthday"
'But, Mary Ellen" protested her
mother, '4Those shoes are not for a
little girl. See, the heels are too high,
and the buckles are too big. They
wouldn't look nice on your foot al
all. No, DEAR" said Mary Ellen's

mother firmly. seven for your
birthday, am afraid you can't have
that pair of shoes. Perhaps, we will
find another pair that you will like
just as we'll"
Mary Ellen's face fell. She was
bitterly disappointed. ''I don't want
any other old Shoes" she cried
angrily. eff I can't have these I
don't want any" And she burst into
tears.
Mary Ellen's mother looked at her
small daughter in surprise. 1t was
so unlike Mary Ellen to act in such
a way, that she was puzzled. But
she said nothing to her. Perhaps
she wasn't feeling well.
It was nearly a week until Mary
Ellen's birthday. And each day
after school, Mary Ellen spent a
long time standing in front of the
store window looking at the shoes.
At home, she became more dis
agreeable every day. She refused
to eat the tempting dishes that her
mother fixed especially for her. She
cried over nothing and talked back
to her mother and father. She was
so exasperating that her father
promised to spank her, thing which
he had never done. But Mary Ellen
didn't change. And her mother de-
cided that she must take her to their
family doctor.
And then one night after school,
when Mary Ellen stopped to see the
shoes, they were gone! Mary Ellen
was at first very unhappy to think
that someone else had bought her
beautiful red shoes. And then a
happy thought struck her. Perhaps
her mother had given in and bought
the shoes for her after all!
Well. Boys and Girls. do you think Mary
Ellen's mother did get the shoes for her
daughter? You will have to woit until
next month to find out.
