Plan For Refugee Universities
Is Considered In Washington
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—A plan is now being
considered in Washington for a chain of univer
sities for refugees in which those who fled from be
hind the Iron Curtain could complete their educa=
tion for democracy.
The plan is now before the White House, the De
partment of State and the Mutual Security Agency.
There is a fair chance that it may be approved.
It would require no new legisiation by Congress.
Money to finance the undertaking could come
from the SIOO million appropriation to aid refugees
from Communist countries., This is Wisconsin Rep.
Charles J. Xersten’s amendment to the Mutual Se
curity Act passed last fall.
The suthor of the new plan is Harry M. Rosen
ficld, ene of the three members of the Displaced
Persons Commission, Mr. Rosenfield got his idea
while he was in Europe last year, in connection with
winding up the DPC program.
DPC must grant its last visa before June 30. It is
scheduled to go out of business in Septenmber.
Working en this liquidation, . Rosenfield became
interested In the plight of the new refugees, as dis
tinguished from the clder ones from World War 11.
The new refugees are the people from Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, east
ern Austria and Gérmany.
Wanting to escape from Communist domination,
they slip through the Iron Curtain at night to seek
freedom and safety in western Europe.
It is now estimated that only about 20 percent of
those who #ry to escape from conmmunism succeed
in slipping across the closely-guarded border. The
number who succé®d average from 1,2000 to 2,000
a month, These are from the satellite countries
alone, e
From eastern Germany and Ausiria the m
is put at 20,000 2 month. M
REFUGEES PRESENT HUGE PROBLEM
They present a terrific problem, to themselves
and to the g¢ountries in which they seek haven.
There are no organized reception centers to which
they can be sent. Instead of being welcomed, they
are usually locked up by the border police, on the
chance that they might be spies, e
The fugitives are then given a thorough question
ing by intelligence services of the Allied powers.
Every scrap of informration about themselves and
about specific conditions behind the Iron Curtain
is sought. . 3
1f they appear to be genuine refugees, they are
turned leese. They immediately become problem
children. They have no plave to go. (There is not
enough housing for the resident population.)
There are no jebs for them. Unemployment is still
a sorious problem in all of overpopulated western
Europe. i
So they becomié relief cases. Some of them, dis«
illusioned, may slip back across the line again, to
become prize exhibits for Communist propagands
ists. They are used to show how bad conditions are
in western Europe.
Most of the refugees, Commissioner Rosenfield
found, were young people. One of those he inter
viewed himself was only four weeks out of the ura
nium mines of Czechoslovakia. Another was a young
dental student from Poland.
STUDENT WANTED TO JOIN
UNDERGROUND
Strangely enough, the Pole had no desire to come
to the United States. He wanted to complete his
dental training, then go back home to work in the
underground.
At Strasbourg, in eastern France, Commissioner
Rosenfield saw the new school established by the
American National Commmittee for Free Europe. It
opened with 86 students last November 1.
In Berlin there was the Free University. It has a
student body of 12,000, of whom 40 percent come
from east Germany. The Ford Foundation last year
gave this imstitution a million dollar grent.
From all these scattered details, Commissioner
Rosenfield put together his idea for a chain of free
world universities around the Iron Curtain, espec
ially designed to aid escapees.
As now envisaged, his plam would have four
principal objectives.
First, it would serve ag a reception center for the
escapees.
Seeond, it would provide a place where the refu
gees could complete their education im their chosen
fields—engineering, law, medicine, journalism or
whatever they wished.
The third program would be educating the es
gapees im the cultural backgrounds of their own
countries, #he history, democratic traditions and
aspivations of their native lands, All this has been
- blotted owt under the Communist system of educa
b tion. : -
ourth would come an emigration program to
new homes and work for the graduates that
P d not return to their former homes,
Korean Armistice Need Not Be
Pawn In Diplomatic Trading
Communist negotiators at Panmunjom naturally
would like United Nations spokesmen to commit
our side to a postwar political conference, with
Formosa and the issue of Chinese Red entry into
the UN on the agenda.
Thus far our representatives have not accepted
any such terms, and there is no sign that they will,
provided they can recognize them at all timres., For
the Communists have a talent for phrases contain
ing concealed jokers.
Actually, a satisfactory armistice could be had
without settlement of the question of whether to
call a later conference and UN negotiators ought to
insist on leaving this item out, rather than hag
gling over it indefinitely or making risky conces
sions.
The dea of a conference is perfectly all right, so
long as its prospective agenda is not frozen in favor
of the Communists.
The best way to assure that is to let the eventual
diplomatic conferees themselves determine the pro
gram, instead of putting that responsibility in the
hands of military men at Panmunjom.
But however the agenda is fixed, we must make
certain that it reflects our own major concerns in
Korea and the Far East, We have a right to insist
on international guarantees of any Korean settle
ment, so we don’t have to contemplate renewal of
the conflict at some future date. :
And any discussion of Korea can hardly ignore
the issue of achieving a unified nation from the
Yalu River to Pusan. ’
Apparently U. S. officials in Washington are now
adhering firmly to these points. They go further.
They would insist that a future conference be
widened to include not just the present Korean
belligerents but all nations with a stake in Far
Eastern peace. '
That might include Japan, India, Burma, Indo
nesia, Siam and Indo-China. : ;
More importantly, erican diplomats would
demand that a broademmrencddell with such
painful and long-standing questions as the guer
rilla warfare sparked by Communists in Indo=
China, Malaya and the Philippines.
There is no earthly reason why it should be
proper%fliscuss??ormosa, an island the Chinese
think we laee, and not talk about Indo-China, a
WM they threaten.
/ Future political discussions gould well include
one more UN demand: That any decisions arrived
at in regard to general Far Eastern issues be not
linked directly to a Korean settlement. In other
words, the maintenance of peace in Korea should
not be made to hinge on what we do about For
mosa or what the Reds do about Indo-China,
As an issue, Korea is a thing apart, and it can
not be made the subject of diplomatic trading. If
we can stick to all these guns, we shall not likely
be in danger of losing any further ground to the
Communists in Asia—at least not around the coun
cil table,
The big question.is, of course, whether the Reds
for their part will find it possible to stomach so
decent and fair a general settlement. The proofs
are still lacking,

TV Eyes Politicos -
Top officials in both major political parties are
promising that this year's national conventicns will
be different.
No long demonstrations and parades, no endless
nominating and seconding speeches.
All this, of course, out of respect for the wvast
television audiences which this year will have a
chance to view the proceedings.
The politicians are convinced they won't be able
%o hold the viewers’ interest if they don't stream
line the show and keep it moving along at a snappy
pace.
They are undoubtedly right about this. But what
disturbs us is the philosophy which underlies this
impending change in the age-old convention pat
tern. |
Simply expressed, it seems to be:
It's all right to bore a convention delegate, who
is trapped in the hall and can't get away. |
It’s even all right to batter the ears of a radiol
listener, who hears so much anyway that he'll
probably forget any particular annoyance. |
But it isn't ail right to bore aTV viewer. For
what a man sees he nray remember, even unto 1
November, when he marches into the polling|

The New Hampshire Invasion
New Hampshire is one of our smaller states, both
in area and population, but the accident that gives I
it the first political primary of this presidential year
will make the state seem about the size of Texas in l
the next busy month. I
At the last official count, skiers still outnumber- |
ed visiting reporters from Washington, New York |
end other points by about two to one. But the influx |
of trained seals was only beginning, i
Reports indicate that the New Hanrpshire citizen- .
ry is torn between those who want to abandon their !
Florida vacations to welcome personally this addi- |
tion to their business, and those who are takinx;
alarm at the invasion and scanning various escape '
routes to the South. i
We forget that demiocracy in many lands is an
empty word; that the appeai.is hollow when mads
to an illiterate people living at the subsistence
level.—Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. |

HEART CHECK-UPS about once a year are recommended by
specialists. Here, reporter Wade Jones is tested by the electrocar
diograph machine, which amplifies the electrical currents pro
duced by the heart muscles. This tells the specialist if the muscle
is functioning properly.
Doctor Is Reassureing
About Heart Disease
By WADE JONES
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK—(NEA)—Worried
about that heart pain? Relax.
Chances are it’s not your heart at
all, or anything else very serious.
Afraid all those strenuous
games you once played left you
with an “athletie heart?” There’s
no such thing. !
Scared that coffee, cigarets or
whiskey will be the death of you
yet? They won’t even hurt a
normal cheart.
These are not the haphazard
judgments of a publicity-con
scious quack. They are the con
sidered opinions of one of New
York’s leading heart specialists,
who is so publicity-shy he won’t
even allow his name to be used.

It can be said, though, that he
is a member of the American
Heart Association. And during
World War II he treated some of
our top military brass,
In his reassuring statements, he
is not trying to minimize the ser
iousness of this country’s greatest
killer—the diesases of the heart
and blood vessels. Each year they
take more tHan 745,000 lives—
cancer Kkills approximately 209,-
- 000; accidents 88,000; pneumonia,
47,000; tuberculosis, 34,000.
The doctor is trying to ease the
fears of impressionable people
who become frightened and run
to heart gpecialists, with the re
sult that the specialists’ time is
taken from important work.
“Let a certain national maga
zine carry a ‘heart’ article, and
50 per cent of my patients are
ringing me on the phone the next
morning,” he says.
* % ®
The doctor is completely ser
ious when he talks about these
medical millstones — people with
imaginary ills.
He is equally serious when he
tells you about the other kind—
people who have every reason to
be suffering from heart disease
but won’t do anything about iti
until it'strikes them down. |
“The other day I was called in
to treat a 200-pound woman who
had suffered a heart attack. Al
though she was 50 pounds over
weight, she had never had her
heart examined to see if it was
being harmed by all that excess
baggage she was carrying |
around.” ’
The reason why fat people so
often suffer from heart disease is
almost as simple as that—excess
baggage. “It’s just as if a 150-‘
pound person went out and bought |
a 50-pound bag of flour and car- i
ried it every place he went,” the !
doctor says. “Such a constant
strain on the heart can often be
damaging.”
® &% &
The value of periodic heart ex
aminations—about once a year is
ample<for everyone is illustrated
by the case of an eight-year-old
girl here who will be operated on
for a heart ailment next Sum
mer, when school is out,
Her case was brought to the at
tention of a heart specialist by
her family physician, who in the
course of a routine examination
detected a heart murmur, - The
murmur was not serious, but, in
the course of his examination, the
specialist discovered another mur
mur, barely audible. Undetected,
it would in time have meant a
serious heart ailment.
As it is, the operation next
Summer will take care of the mat
ter. It is almost certain that the
girl will be perfectly all right.
Most heart pains®are not caused
by heart disease. Some are, of
course, but most are not. They
may be caused by pleurisy, an
inflammation of the lung lining;
or by sore muscles and nerves of
the rib cage; or general tension
and an over-active imagination
regarding heart disease.

plaints of heart disease seem most
common lmon&dv people, prob
ably because they read and hear
more about the subjeet than do
rural folks. There’s no proof,
“however, that the stepped-up pace
of city life, despite its tensions, is
in itself conducive to heart trou
ble, But, as one doctor pointed
out, “city life won't help any if
the disease is already there.
If you do have heart disease,
very few things, aside from spec
ialized treatment, are actually go
ing to help you, and quite a few
things can hurt you. If you think
you have heart trouble and a spe
cialist confirms it, follow his di
rections.
But if you have a normal,
healthy heart it can take a lot
of heavy duty and there is not
much that will hurt it except dis
ease, Which is why the doctor
believes there’s no such thing as
