Washington News Notebook
By PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspendent
WASHINGTON—When Gen. George C. Marshall
turned over the job of organizing military govern
ment to Maj-Gen. John H. Hilldring, Marshall de
clared it was a very precious thing that was being
entrusted to Hilldring's safe-keeping. Hilldring
replied that he understood the words, but was not
sure he got the full meaning. Marshall then ex-
plained his reasoning. The American people like
t{o criticize, he began. They criticized the Army
leaders for being dumb, and maybe they were at}
times inefficient. Army leaders were also criti
cized for being extravagant with the public’s
money, and maybe they were wasteful, too. But
the American people did not fear their Army, Mar
shall concluded, and that was an t which the
Army leaders must .do everythinytehey could to
safeguard. Therefore - they should do everything
they could to make sure that governing power en
trusted to the Army temporarily would never be
misused.

Proposal to set up a “Foreign Service Academy”
to train U. S. diplomats in the way that West Point
and Annapolis train Army and Navy officers is
being opposed by Assistant Secretary of State Don
Russell and others in the department. Reason is
that the Foreign Service must be made a group of
men broadly representing every U. S. background
and every state. To create one post-graduate in
stitution that all Foreign Service officers would
have to attend would be to create an in-bred
caste system with traditions and class conscious
ness which, even more than today, would be sub
ject to criticism as spats-and-striped-pants-wearing
can carriers.
SPECIAL TRAINING IN
FOREIGN SERVICE STUDIED
To give Foreign Service officers more chance for
advanced study, a program of “in-service” train
ing is being considered. After several years' service
abroad, the young diplomats would be given a
chance to return to the United States and pursue
specialized study at some university well equipped
for research in a particular field of history, eco
nomics, political science, languages or law. '
This in-service training could be financed either
by paying the man his salary and letting him
choose his own place of study, or by fellowships
to selected and approved graduate schools, No
definite plan has as yet been decided on.
Bringing the young diplomats home after a few
years overseas would also solve another big prob
lem. It would enable the Foreign Service officers
to meet and probably marry more American girls.
One of the big difficulties of the Foreign Service
is that too many of the men stationed abroad meet
only the women native to the countries in which
they serve. Many of these young diplomats marry
abroad and tend to lose some of their American
ism, though such marriages do tend to make the
Americans more acceptable to foreigners.
CHANGE OF VIEWPOINT
FACING ADMIRAL LAND
When Adml. Emory S. Land takes the job as
head of the Air Transpori Association, he wiil be
come spokesman for an entirely different point
of view than he had to represent in his old job s
chairman of the Maritime Commission and War
Shipping Administration.
~ln a Maritime Commission policy statement Ad
miral Land signed and issued in September, 1944,
_:x}g_.;declared that, “The participation of the mari
t{ime industry in civil aeronautics is necessary if
%,United States is to ha:ve a merchant marine
adequate for the development of its foreign and
domestic commerce.” Airline operators have buck
ed -this position and they have been supported in
it by decisions of the Civil Aeronautics Board. CAB
has forced some steamship lines to give up their
aviation holdings and has refused other shipping
companies the right to operate new air routes.
¢+ As the new president of ATA, trade association
for the 23 U. S. airlines, Admiral Land will now
have to work in support of this policy. He will not
be: asked to retract what he said before. But he
will explain that whereas he previously looked at
the situation through the eyes of a shipping »an,
he now looks at it through the eyes of an aviation
executive. . :
‘Good Job by Gen. Marshall
' The assistance of Gen. George C. Marshall was
largely responsible for the cease-fire order in
China’s civil war, says Gen. Chou En-lai, Com
munist leader. There is every reason to believe
this statement and, further, to believe that Gen
eral Marshall’s first diplomatic venture is on a
par with his brilliant military accomplishments.
Of course, the solution of China’s difficulties has
only been started. But even a start at solving what
seemed for long to be an insoluble condition was
a fest of maior pronortions. !
How General Marshali ‘managed to untangle the
knoity problem we do not know. He esems to have
arrived on the scene well briefed in-the history
of a long and complicated conflict. He seems also
to have brought himself up to date on the local
situation in China in a remarkably short time and
with a remarkable insight into 'its implieations.
As a result, two ambitious and implacable rivals
have ordered their troops to lay down their arms.
A struggle in which both sides seemed bent on
nothing less than complete control of China has
been halted. A country bled white by years of
civil war and international strife has gained a
breathing spell. The danger that former allies
might intervene on opposite sides of the National
ist-Communist struggle is averted, at least for the
present.
Generalissimo Chiang’s gavernment and soldiers
were associated with us in Japan’s defeat. This
govrnment recognized and supported the Nation
alist party. Chiang’s government was included in
frequent references to the “four great democracies”
united in fighting the Axis. Popular sentiment in
this country seemed largely to favor the Nation
alists in the civil fighting just suspendel.
And that may be all to the good.eßut the pre
liminary program of reform which 'Generalissimo
Chiang ougined" shortly after he issued the cease
fire order indicates how undemocratic, by Ameri
can standards, his regime has been.
His program inferentially admits that anti-free
dom laws have been in existence, that activities of
rival political parties have been suppressed, that
self~government has made little headway, and
that political imprisonments have not been un-
COMmlmon.
| As these basic evils are being eradicated, there
must be agreement on the amonunt of power to be
delegated to the Communists. There must be a
workable compromise between conflicting politi
lcal philosophies. These will not be easy matters to
| settle. ! {
But at least tbe bloodshed has ended. And the
fact that immediate policy decisions are to be is
sued by commissioners representing the National
ists, the Communists and the United States gives
promise that a basis for workable compromise is
already established. For which all thanks and
honor to Amreica’s distinguished former Chief of
Staff. : : ’
Overdue, but Welcome
Shortly before Congress took its year-end re
cess, Rep. Herman Eberharter of Pennsylvania
told his colleagues that he would have a new in
come tax bill ready and waiting for them when
they returned.
' “It is my considered opinion,” said Mr. Eber
harter, “that our country needs a reformation of
the federal tax system. We must stop writing
iamendments on top of amendments. Our people
back home . . . want a single and sensible tax
[program, a program they can understand. They
‘will applaud a Congress that enacdts a tax law that
is just and equitable.”
1 We should like to start the applause now for
Mr, Eberharter’s suggestion, which is 15 or 20
years, overdue. The income tax law, never a model
of clarity or equity, has not been improved by the
varipus amendments and revisions that have been
piled on through the years; like so many mustard
plasters on the poor taxpayer’s aching back. =
These ministrations have burned without cur
ing. But Mr. Eberharter seems to be the first of
the lawmakers who has boldly come out in favor
of tfying a new remedy,. instead of more plasters.
‘We hope that his colleagues in the House will give
‘his sensible proposal some earnest consideration.

Important Siep Made In Expanding
Rural Telephone Service
An important step in activi
ties to expand rural telephone
gervice was taken Monday (Jau.
14) when engineers began pub
lic experiments neca: Selma, Al
abama, with a scieutific develop=
ment of possible far-reaching
significance -to farm families"
who do not have telcepfione ser
vice,
In a joint test being conducted
cooperatively by the Southern
Bell Telephone Compeny and the
Alabama Power Company in
whid.i four well.known residents
of Suttle, a farm community
near Salem, are also cooperating,
an experimental gyslem to pro
vide rural telephone service over
{ae same wires as thcose used for
electricity was put to use.
P. W. Shearouse,, lccal mana
ger for the Southern Bell Tele
phone Company, described the
method as the “rural power line
carrier System” of prcviding tel
ephone service. It is designed, he
said, especially for use in rural
areas. Altaough the system is
still in the experimental stage, it
hoids promise of oune impo:tant
means of extending farm tele
phone service to more and more
farms served by power lines but
remote from teiephone wire lines.
The farmers cooperating are J.
F. Suttle, jr., J: A. Elam, P. M,
Suttel and E. B. Fulier. Mr. Ful
ler’'s telephcne is in the general
store which e operates The
first call over the new gystem
wag made by J. I'. Suttle to a
brother, Roger C. Suttle, of
Gadsden, Ala. A number of tele
phone company and power com
pany engineers witnessed the in
auguration of the expcriment.
Receives Eye
To a layman’s eye, the tele
phone equipment on tae sub
scriber’s premises !coks much
like that of a regular telephone
set, except that there is also‘a
small box, which contains equip
ment essential to operation of the
farmer’s telepaone. Electronic
tnhes in the box produce a high
frequency current which car.
ries the telephone conversation
over the power wires. A device
known as a couvnler, located on
the pole near the subscriber’s
premises, allows this current to
enter and leave the power lines
but prevents the power current
from entering the lelephone in
strument.
Thus the new system not only
permits the transmission of tel
ettjone conversation and elec
tric powe" simultaneously over
the same wires without interfer
ence with each other but is as
safe to use as the regular tele
phene instrument.
Theve is special terminal
equipment in use where fthe
power Jlire carries system con
nects with the regular telephone
circnits. Over a power line car
rier system, a subscriber can call
anvane on his line, or on any
telephone line, anywhere to
which teleptione connections ave
made. e
