u. S. IS Taking a Beating in Asia

the real beating we are taking
from Turkey to the Philippines

told members of the Suburban
Democratic Club last week.
Ferdinand and Della Kuhn, for

becoming more dependent on us
and Russia"
An "exhilarating and hopeful
Asian Revolution is taking place,
however, Mrs. Kuhn pointed out
IAN upsurge of millions of
people at all social levels" The
real breeding ground is at the vii
lage level, where eight out of 10
in the population live in bamboo
huts with no electricity and
crudely till their farms. For the
first time, Mrs. Kuhn continued,
the rural masses are displaying

ing for the government to do for
them."
A village of Untouchables built
their own school, Mrs. Kuhn ex-
planned, then asked the govern
ment for a teacher. They were
sent a high caste Brahman. In
Cambodia, she went on, the whole
village contributed their savings
to buy a box of chalk because
they though the authorities
would give them a black board
and teacher. Men and women
are building their own roads,
dams and compost and soakage
pits for refuse.
But underdeveloped govern
ment services at every level of
society is the great barrier to the
Asian Revolution, Mrs. Kuhn de.
clared. No efficient police force
exists, except in Afghanistan
The Burma Road is infested with
bandits. There is no public health
service, roads are still almost
nonexistant, and so is public ed

TAX collection IS impossible be-
cause there has been no modern
census, she added.
Asians have very few pref
udices toward Russia, Mrs. Kuhn
explained, because they feel
Russia has just accomplished the
same kind of "boot-strap opera
ton" they are attempting. They
feel they have something to learn
and they'll take help wherever
they can get it as long as the help
doesn't threaten their freedom to
RIM their own show. America, on
the other hand, hasn't shown in
recent years that we can ac-
complish boot-strap operation"
Mrs. Kuhn felt.
The only answer to the prob
lem, concluded Mr.. Kuhn, is for
Democratic leaders in Congress
to "cut down the emphasis on mil
itary and industrial hardware
and put more emphasis on train
ing by sending more and better
qualified people to Asia. This Ad-
ministration," he went on, sends
technicians, engineers and county
and health agents to Asia with
only one week of briefing."
The new Congress session
should create permanent career
service for technicians on foreign
duty" he suggested, with pres
tige, pay and tenure as high as
that accorded foreign embassy
staffs. There's no use trying to
industrialize Asia or send capital

the affair at the latter's home,

Although she is much too
young looking to be called vet
eran campaigner," it is a fact
she made her debut as political
speaker in the rough and tumble
Sidewalks of New York" world
Turing Roosevelt's third term
campaign of 1910.
She was pushed into this job
by a friend, Dorothy McAlister,
then head of the women's divi-
sion of the Democratic National
Committee, on the basis of one
course in public speaking and
cher misfortune" of winning a
first prize in a speaking contest.
Her eight weeks in New York
during that campaign included a
fantastic number of hours spent
on top of stepladders on street
corners screaming into micro
phone.
Looking back on her expert
ences with the experienced heck.
Iers of that city, she wonders
where she found the nerve.
One vivid memory is the time
she caused a near-riot in Foley's
Square while speaking across the
street from a Wilkie headquar-
tiers, Wilkie supporters and those
who wanted to "give the lady a
I'ctance" met head-on and the
/ resulting brawl brought out the
riot squad who moved the lady
over a couple of blocks
Dramatic Moment
Another dramatic m o m e n t
came during a two-hour speech
on Roosevelt, the Humanitari-

she called on a supporter, a
young polio victim to testify to
the benefits he had received from
Roosevelt.
His soft southern drawl and
the sight of his withered left
arm brought a momentary hush
to the crowded, noisy theatrical
district of New York.

Dear jim:
1 think some married people

too. if they would think more of
their children and less about them
selves. Even if they cannot get
along, they should not inffict their
problems on their youngsters and
drag them into their arguments.
Parents should realize they have a
responsibility to provide home for
their offspring which gives them a
feeling of security And. if they
don't do this. they do not rate very
high as parents. in my opinion.
