for the police force.
She thinks criminology should
be necessary course in colleges
and universities and by the same
token, that schools Of social work
should offer courses In active
police work.
There is q need to train police
officers to work with people, she
is convinced. "It's a different
type of case work. q sort Of short
term emergency-the act-and-
act-fast school of thought, but I
think there's a vast need for it. I"
She still has an unfinished
masters. thesis on the subject
which she started at Denver Uni
versity during the period after
the war when the SPARS were
deactivated. It's collecting dust
now but some day she hopes to
finish it.
In the meantime, the Coast
Guard comes first.
The former policewoman thinks
her selection of the Coast Guard
was a natural one, because "the
Coast Guard to me has always
stood for the saving rather than
the destruction of lives and prop
erty."
She also confesses her love for
the Coast Guard goes far back
in her life. AS youngster grow
ing up on an isolated Colorado
ranch, she spent many an hour
reading the Saturday Evening
Post adventure stories about the
old Revenue Cutter Service.
But you've got to like the
Coast Guard to want to be in it, I"
she says quite frankly. "1t's not
a particularly glamorous sort Of
job. In fact, it takes a pretty
sturdy type of individual"
Comdr. Ball explained that
most of the SPARS now on active
duty here have not one but sew
eral Jobs.
I'm the Coast Guard, you dou-
BILE in brass on a moments no
tice," she observed. There's no
room for complaints. A certain
amount of gripping is healthy for
the service, but we have to have
people who are willing to lend
a hand"
Comdr. Ball can well be proud
of the women reserves under her
command.
Though they didn't even have
enough to make up a platoon to
march in the Inaugural parade
with their sister services, they
feel they're an integral part Of
their branch of the service.
Esprit Is High
And they're really lending a
hand these days. Most of the II
enlisted girls now on duty had
other duties during the war.
They're all doing yeoman's work
now. helping the Coast Guard to
get its organized reserve pro-
gram under way.
There's 1t. Muriel Dubuc, mar
ried to an Army captain she met
while on wartime Coast Guard
duty in Hawaii. who's now writ
ing the lessons for the recruits. "
There's Pearl Faurie. with
over six years service, and the
only chief yeoman on duty here.
There's Carol Stilwill, who has
the distinction of being the only
female in the Coast Guard to
have a special rating made for
her. AS Personnelman first class
she doubles in brass" as an
artist part of the time and re-
searcher on other days.

Shortly after the commemora-
tive stamp honoring women in
the Armed Forces was issued
last year, there were some red
faces around the Post Office De-
partment.
They forgot the SPARS!
It was an honest mistake. Post
office officials were convinced the
women'S reserve of the Coast
Guard was no longer in exist
ence.
Even O telephone call from 1t.
Comdr. Beatrice V. Ball, the
SPAR'S senior officer here, failed
to shake one stubborn official un-
til she exclaimed: well, If you
don't believe me, just look out
the window and I'll wave back. I"
After that there. were "apolo-
gies all over the place." as one
SPAR spokesman put it. The
Coast Guard headquarters is
right next door to the Post Office
Building.
Today. there are only 81 SPAR
officers and enlisted personnel on
duty in the United States, and
"a Of them are here in Washing
ton.
Why so few? The peacetime
Coast Guard divides its time be-
tween shore and sea duty, and
there aren't as many SPARS
needed to fill jobs as during the
war years.
The deactivation of the SPARS
after the war led the pub
lie to believe they had been
dissolved, but this is far from
true. They merely went on in
active reserve status, subject to
request to return to duty at any
time.
The outbreak of the Korean
war brought them back, but not
in as many numbers as during
World War II when the SPARS
top strength was 1000 officers
and 10000 enlisted women.
Their return" hasn't yet been
realized by the general public
as witness the postage stamp
incident, and there are a great
many organization functions to
which they aren't invited. But
they're not looking glum
about it.

They're taking their cue from
Comdr. Ball.
A tall, self-asSured WeSterner,
with q friendliness that can
switch to cool-eyed appraisal if
the occasion calls for it, Comdr
Ball isn't the least disturbed that
she belongs to a branch of the
service some people insist "just
doesn't exist anymore.
She accepts it in good humor
and goes about her job. why
I've even had people in the other
services tell me the Coast Guard
isn't a military service" she says
with a laugh.
Not only is she "senior officer
aboard" which practically makes
her director of the SPARS un-
offlcially, but she's assistant to
the chief of the Coast Guards
Special Services Division.

The turmoil in Moscow I'M
doubtedly will have wide re-
percussions in Peiping.
China'S BOSNIAN, Mao Tse-
tung has considered himself
since Stains death as the only
orthodox Communist leader in
the world and there are rumors
that his relationship with the
Kremlin is no longer as close
as in Stains days. These
rumors have gained some sub
stance from the fact that while
the men in the Kremlin were
trying to efface the memory of
Stain by removing the tens of
millions of his pictures which
plastered the walls of homes
and Offices in the U. S. S. r.
and satellite countries, the
memory. Of the dead Russian
dictator was still honored in
China.
After Stains funeral the
Communist broadcasts ceased
to mention him or his works,
except in China where he con-
tinued to be described as "the
father of democratic peoples"
China's military power is,
however, bound to be affected
by the situation in the
U. s. S. r.
Last fall, after several weeks
OF negotiation between Stains
regime and China's Foreign
Minister Chou En-lai, an
agreement was reached which
was known In some govern
ment quarters in Washington
as the KY 10 dash 10 plan.
According to those who believe
in the authenticity of that
document which came to our
knowledge last spring, this is
a four-year agreement aimed
at expulsion of all Western
nations from the Far East.

Dr.. Robinson Says

DR.. Orris c. Robinson warned
his Calvary Methodist Church
congregation yesterday that

nists were a menace to our coun-
try.
DR.. Robinson did not mention
j. B. Matthews. who was fired
as staff director of the Senate
Investigating Subcommittee last
week. by name but his remarks
obviously were aimed at an arti-
Gle written by Mr.. Matthews for
the July Mercury magazine.
ITO make a blanket charge
that 1000 Protestant clergymen
are Communists should discredit
every one who sustains such a
charge" the Washington min
lister said.
"Self-appointed defenders of
the State are a menace who can
bring national disaster upon u.s."
he added. 1.-The peril facing us
today is an effort to divide us.
People are being driven apart
by men of small stature seeking
their own ends and using COM
munism as a cloak. They seek
to divide our people and to set
Protestant and Jew against
Catholics and Catholic and Jew
against ProteStantS.
Another minister, the Rev. c.
Stewart Mckenzie of Western
Presbyterian Church, in a state
ment, said Professionalism is un-
der attack by figures insignificant
in themselves who find this an
opportunity to get national
prominence by criticism of Prot
estant leaders and churches.
There are pathological liars
within the Christian church who
are perfectly willing to debase

it will secure any advantage to
them"

Of 1854 with 5000 planes, some
60 submarines with Chinese
crews trained in the U. S. S. r.,
and $4,000 tanks. Moscow also
agreed to train some 10000
Chinese pilots.
What is more important. If
the reported terms of the
agreement are accurate, is the
Soviet pledge to transfer to
China some 80 large industrial
plants, thus giving the Red
republic a so per cent military
industrial f1exibility. The
Kremlin also pledged itself to
send thousands of technicians
in addition to those already in
China to instruct young Chi
nese graduates Of engineering
schools in technical know-how.
Those who have read the
document are inclined to be-
lieve that it is genuine. We
know definitely that Chou En-
lai spent nearly two months in
Moscow last fall and that he
left the Red capital with some
sort of agreement on future
Russian-Chinese cooperation.
The turmoil in Moscow,
which is likely to spread to
other parts of the U. S. S. r.,
is bound to affect it's foreign
policies and it's assistance to
China. The events which are
now occurring in Russia can
not be compared with the de-
velopments in the 30s when

Rubber Plants Are Next to Go
rvote INDUSTRY Big S Are Ready Take Over the Wor-but
$500 Million Taxpayers Investment in Synthetic Production

One OF the last Of the great
properties-created out of our
taxes-that played so large
a part in both the World War
II and the Korean War is
about to go on the auction
block to private industry.
This is the synthetic rubber
industry and its components,
in which $3.50 million of our
taxpayers money is invested.
It was established hurriedly
when the Japs swarmed all
over the southeast Pacific and
cut off our natural rubber
sources. Still left in the Gov
ernment's hands will be the
biggest Of all our enterprises,
our atomic energy installation
which has cost us taxpayers
$40 billion so far. Public
hearings now are going on be-
fore the Joint Committee on
Atomic Energy on proposals to
turn over development of
power from atomic fuels to
private industry; but legisla-
ton will be deferred until the
next session of Congress or
later.
Final action is expected soon
on legislation to dispose Of our
synthetic rubber industry. The
House passed a bill some days
ago and the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee has
approved a companion meas
ure by strict party vote, 8 to
6. with consideration by the
Senate scheduled before the
summer recess.
Some Democrats, including
Senator Lehman of New York,
will oppose sale of our Govern
ment plants on the ground
that this period of interna-
tional emergency is not the
time for the Government to
turn loose this valuable asset
which also, as demonstrated at
the outset of the Korean war,
can be used as a competitive
yardstick to keep down the
cost Of natural rubber which
we must import. It came in
quite handy for that purpose
when the natural rubber car
tel ran up the price.

British Free German
Who Executed Troops
BY the Associated Press

BONN, Germany, July ID
Former Gen. Nikolaus Won
Falkenhorst, once sentenced to
hang because Of the execution
of British Commands. was set
free today from the British war
crimes prison at Werl.
An official announcement said
the former German commander
in Norway was freed as IAN act

he was suffering from heart dis

The former colonel-general,
now So, was the last of the high
German generals held by the
British at Werl. He was sewing
a sentence Of 20 years, which had
been committed from death.
Release of Won Falkenhorst
practically cleared up the bitter
Anglo German controversy over
the continued detention of SOL

Germany's rearmament as an

synthetic rubber industry,
which is operated under con-
tract with private companies
on a fee basis. is a going con-
Germ. It has brought down the
price of synthetic rubber so
that it is on a competitive
basis with natural rubber. Last
year the Governments syn
thetic rubber industry showed
a profit of $62 million.
The first thing that will
happen after it is sold to pri-
vate industry will be an in
crease in the price of rubber,
according to testimony of Of
flcials of the RFC, which
has jurisdiction, who expressed
the belief that such price rises,
however. might be only tempo
rary. The higher price of rub
Der would mean a higher cost
of defense, since the Govern
ment is one OF the biggest GUS
toners, and it also would be
felt in the pocketbook of the
citizen consumer.
Realizing that they will rot
be able to block the sale Of our
Government synthetic rubber
industry, Democrats IN the
Senate are concerned chiefly
that it not be another give
away" to big private industry.
They want to see that the Gov
eminent gets a fair o. ice for
whist we taxpayers invested in
so heavily. and that the plants
not go for a song as happened
with so many other war llants.
Above all, they do not want
to see these valuable proper
ties get heavily concentrated
in the existing few ujg rubber
and oil companies and thus
intensity the trend toward
monopoly so that something
we created out of the sweat of
our taxes becomes a means Of
gouglng us. Congress adopted
a policy of eventual sale to
private industry in 1913, and
some few plants were disposed
of during the Truman Admin
iStration.
The monopoly danger was
stressed during Senate Com
mittee hearings by Senator
Paul Douglas, Democrat, Of
