The Washington Notebook
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON. — (NEA) — When the United
Nations asked for military assistance for Korea, all
it got from the Latin-American countries was one
frigate from Colombia. After a couple of months
training on the U. S. west coast, that Colombian
{frigate is now on its way to Korean waters. So give
Colombia full credit. Bolivia, Costa Rica, El Salva
dor, Panama offer voiunteers, but none has been
accepted.
It is not to the particular discredit of the other
Latin-American countries that they offered no
more, Fifteen of them did offer economic aid of a
kind—money from Uruguay and Brazil, sugar from
Cuba, beans from Mexico and so on.
The reason they didn’t offer more actual military
aid is that they didn't have it to give. And that sad
fact is the main reason for concentration on the
subject of military cooperation at the Council of
American Republicy' Foreign Ministers now going
on in Washington. -
Something drastic has to be done to bolster west
ern hemisphere defenses so that the U. S. and
Canada don’t cgry a disproportionate share of the
burden. y
Today, inter-American defense is largely a thing
of paper. The Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal
Assistance provides that all the republics will come
to the aid of any one that is attacked. But it doesn’t
specify what with,
DEFENSE BOARD CREATED TO
REPEL AGGRESSION ;
There is an organization known as the Inter-
American Defense Board, created during the last
war, It now has a headquarters building all its own
at 2600 16th street, Washington. Its chairman is Lt.-
General Charles L. Bolte of the U. S. Army. It has
a staff of some 50 officers, Most of them are the
military attaches assigned to the Latin-American
embassies in Washington. But two of the countries
—Panama and Costa Rica — aren’'t even repre
sented.
Function of the Inter-American Defense Board is
to make plans to repel aggression against any of the
republics, The full Board, or Council of Delegates
as it's called, meets every two weeks. The staff
works regular hours. Presumably it has a big safe
full of plans. All it lacks to become a going con
cern are manpower and equipment — other than
those of the U. S. armed forces.
During the last war, there was fear that the Ger
mans might invade or attack the South American
bulge from bases on the west African bulge, The
U. S. maintained two bases in Brazil. They were
useful ferry points for the South Atlantic airlift.
Eventually, the Brazilians got one division in
the European fighting and the Mexicans had an air
squadron in the Philippines. But if the Latin-Am
erican countries had been able to man their own
defenses commpletely, it would have freed 100,000 or
more U. S. troops for duty in other places. As it was
titey weer tied down to Latin-American bases for
the duration.
© The matter of equipping Latin-American forces
is another sad story. At the end of the war, there
were sonre general staff conferences on supplying
Latin-American armies with U. S. surpluses. Their
hopes ran high. The way it worked out, $146 mil
lion worth of supplies were sold to them for some
S3B million. It was less than 10 percent of what
they expected to get.
U. S, SURPLUSES FELL SHORT
From the expiration of the Surplus Property
Disposal Act to the passage of the Military Defense
Assistance Act in October, 1949, there was no au
thorization for arms aid to Latin-America. Even
then the original MDAP Act required payment of
full cost for equipment furnished at replacement
values. An amendment in July of last year permit
ted U. S. surpluses to be sold at 10 percent of cost.
But by then U. S. prices were so high the sister re
publics couldn’t afford to buy. And since July,
when the Korean war got hot, there simply haven’t
been any American surpluses for sale.
Under this program, however, a start has been
made by the transfer to Argentina, Brazil and
Chile of two U. S. cruisers apiece. They are Brook
-Iyn class cruisers built in the early 1930’5. Original
cost was abouf”s2o million each. They are being
sold on terms for $2 million each plus another $2
million for modernization which will mrake them
pretty good ships.
Crews of from 600 to 700 for each of the ships
are now in Philadelphia under training. The wel
come mat is out, and the plan is to have the ships
visit New York for an additional blowout after
they are commissioned and put through their shake
down cruises,
Now that controls are . , . imposed, the patriotic
citizens who tried to hold the line are penalized
and the smart boys who jammed through wage and
price rises are sitting pretty. Such a control pro
gram is a mockery.—Senator Wallace F. Bennett
(R.-Utsh). »
Times Are Too Critical For
A "Do-Nothing” Congress
Congress is very busy these days holding up a
mirror to various aspects of American life. Most of
these matters, to judge from disclosures thus far,
certainly needed examination. But Congress also
might profit by taking a good look at itself,
The 82nd Congress now has been in session three
months. In that time it nas accomplished practically
nothing, though many pressing issues crowd its cal
endar. The Senate managed so put through a nrili
tary manpower billy but the House has not yet
acted. Beyond that measure, the achievements are
all minor.
This dilatory behavior on Capitol Hill is becom~
ing a habit. In virtually no year since 1948 have
the lawmakers chalked up a good early season
record, They are beginning to fall into the wasteful,
often dangerous pattern so characteristic- of many
state legislatures.
In a typical state capital where the legislators
meet for two to six months, the representatives of
the people spend the first few weeks or months
chasing back and forth between home and capital.
They meet perhaps two days a week in this span,
usually adjourning in short order.
Then as the deadline approaches for final ad
journment, activity takes on a furious pace. Bills
are sprung fromr committees as if catapulted, de
bated hastily or not at all, and jammed through by
the dozens on voice votes. In the pell-mell rush,
few measures get the care they deserve. But when
the last gavel sounds, the legislators wearily file out,
telling themsetves they have done thelr duty.
It is time for the gentlemen on Capitol Hill to
understand that they’re not in Topeka or Jefferson
City or Olympia now. People are not waiting for
authority to build a new road to by-pass the old
water tower, or for a new beauty shop license law.
Washington is, in the most realistic sense, the
capital of the world today. General Eisenhower
waits for the American troops to spark his hopeful
European defense army. India, with millions on the
brink of starving, waits to see if we will vote to
send the grain they need. The American people
listen patiently for final roll calls on measures to
strengthen our defenses and buttress the dikes
against inflation.
Both the citizens of this country and our friends
abroad are entitled to sober and steady action from
the members of Congress. This frittering away of
time in endless, often pointless debate is no service
to the nation or to the cause of democratic free
dom. It merely serves to discredit the democratic
process and engender the distrust of those who
rely so heavily upon it.
If the television cameras could be trained for
about two straight weeeks on the House and Senate
chambers, we might get a change of heart. It is
doubtful the lawmakers would care to have it
brought to the American living room how little
they are doing these days. %
.
Policy Game
There are two levels of bureaucrats in Washing
ton—policy makers who issue directives, and op
erating officials who have to carry them out, Wil
liarh L. Batt, now head of the U. S. Marshall Plan
mission in London, has a story which illustrates the
difference,.
Early one winter, a grasshopper met an ant. “It's
getting cold outside,” said the grasshopper. I wish
I could find some way to go inside some house,
where I could keep warm and stay alive till spring.”
“That’s easy,” said the ant. “Just change yourself
into a cockroach. Find a good pantry, and live off
the fat of the land till spring. Then change yourself
back into a grasshopper again, and go outside.”
“Sounds like a good idea,” said the grasshopper,
*but how do I go about changing myself to a cock
roach and back again?~
“Oh, that's up to you,” said the ant. “I've just
given you the policy directive. As the operating
agency, you'll have to find ways to carry it out.”

Wanted: One Scientist
Defense Mobilization organization in Washington
is now said to be compiete except for one man—
a director of scientific research to head Mobilization
Director C. E. Wilsen's staff. It is proving difficult
to find the right man for this important jeb, and to
persuade any competent scientist to leave private
industry for government service. The new man—
whoever he turns out to be—will head a small staff,
separate from the Department of Defense Research
and Develdpment Board under Dr. William Webster,
and also separafe from the new National Science
Foundation, under Dr. Alan T. Waterman. Dr.
Vannevar Bush, president of Carnegie Instiute,
had this job during the last war but does not feel he
can serve again this time, Incidentally, Dr., Blish
will soon emerge as a movie actor, starring in a
dramatization of his recent book, “Modern Arms and
Free Men.,” -
General Motors has announced net profits in 1950
of $834 million. This mighty sum exceeds the com
bined profits of 125 Class I railroads, and is also
well above the combined earnings of the entire
steel industry. It seems safe to say that GM, for
the moment at least, is a healthy corporation.
The insistence that the world, in order to sur
vive, must be converted te the political, social and
economic practices of the western world is the
analogue of Cain’s demand that Abel give up his
gardening and take up sheepherding.—Dr. Edwin
McNeill Poteat, religious minister of Raleigh, N, C.

Children’s Villaoe Qutlines
Experiment In World Living
CINCINNATI — Sixty children
from 10 countries will work and
play together in a camp environ
ment in Ohio this summer, while
social scientists attempts to learn
from observing them some of the
fundamental relationships that ex
ist between people of different na
tionalities.
As a new approach to world
understanding this experiment will
be tried in June when the first
Children’s International Summer
Village opens near Cincinnati.
Endorsed by a large group of
spychologists, sociologists, and ed
ucators, the summer village is
based on the premise that an im
portant step toward international
understanding can be made if the
answers are found to such ques
tions as :What areas of agreement
do people of all nations have; what
are the hurdles to common under
standing among these people; how
do typical human beings of differ
ent nationalities, who have not had
their prejudices trained and fix
ed, react to and surmount these
obstacles?
: Cultures Stressed
Difference in languages is not
an important hurdle and can be.
overcome easily, according to Dr.
Doris Twitchell Allen, general
chairman of the village.
“Every child,” she says, ‘“no
matter what his language, under
stands arts and crafts, nature
study, athletics, music and drama,
all of which will be stressed in
the village program. For the con
duct of these activities and of
games and for the other simple
dairy relationships, children are
very quick to develop their own
methods of satisfactory communi
cation.”
Concrete activities by teams
composed of different nationali
ties, daily tasks of caring for the
village, and assisting in the prepa
ration of meals, are emphasiedi
in the village program. To the
extent possible, the rules and reg- ‘
ulations for the eamp life, and
with the aid of adults as interpre- |
ters, will hold council on common |
problems. l
80 Residents Planned x
One of the specific projects is‘
that if improving the camp site
itself through painting and simple |
carpentery, since it is felt that the
group will be brought closer to
gether if they share a common
objective. Camp facilities includel
two neat white dormitories, a
main conference building, a craft
shop, a 60-by-60-foot swimming
pool, and a basketball court.
There will be 90 village resi
dents; 60 boys and girls between
the ages of 10 and 12 and 30 adults,
one teacher and one parent from
each of the 10 countries. The par
ents will not necessarily be the

Question — You
Give The Answer
NEW YORK— (AP) ~ Once
upon a time there were six men
who worked for the same firm and
lives in the same apartment
building.
Their names were Wilch, Yilch,
Bilch, Dilch, Tilch and Pilch. They
ate lunch together and bowled on
the same office team, and liked
each other very much. So did
their wives.
Their immediate office boss was
a fellow named Filch who lived
up the street in a somewhat
classier apartment. It was so fancy
it even had a separate elevator for
the mice.
Well, one day Mrs. Filch thought
it would be nice to have in the
wives of Wilch, Yilch, Bilch, Dileh,
Tilch and Pilch in for a game of
gim rummp. None of the guests
was stupid, naturallyq, so Murs.
Filch came cut $18.45 winner.
But during the course of the
game, as girls will, they fell to
talking about their husband’s sal
aries. Mrs. Filch knew the figures
and fairly banded them about. It
turned out that there was a
spread of $3.16 between the week
ly incomes of the six men who
called Filch “Mister.”
Hardly At All
Do you think a little discovery
like like that worried Mrs. Wilch,
Mrs. Lileh, Mrs. Bilch, Mrs. Dilch, |
Mrs. Tilch and Mrs, Pilch? Well,
hardly at all. No more than if they
had just found out that their hus
bands had leprosy. |

“Is Wilch really worth 8112

“Are you ashamed of being

principle of the thing,” yelped
Mrs. Lilch.
“Just don’t agree with me—d,

There they stood — all six of
them — looking uncomfortably at

“Come on, boys,” said Filch.
“Let’s go across the street and

They had one. They had two,
