Truman Must Face Stiff Test
If He Wants Aid Bill To Pass
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)-—The Truman adminis
tration now faces its meanest battle of the year in
Congress., It is to get $8 billion worth of military
and eccnomic aid for friendly foreign governments.
The President’s fireside chat and his special mes=
sage to Congress were the opening guns of this cam=
paign, Having shot them off—the last of his extra
requests for a while, maybe—the President felt it
was safe to go vacationing in Key West,
But while he is fishing off Florida, Congress will
be fighting it out with Secretary of State Dean
Acheson and staff, Defense Secretary Robert Lov
ett’s top Pentagon brass and W. Averell Harrinvan's
Mutual Security Agency epxerts, .
The issue is analyzed in Washington as compli
cated by two main factors. The first is political. In
a campaign year, the appeal of Truman’s opponents
for more economy and less foreign aid is being
played for all it’s worth.
Secondly, the Truman administration has not
done a good job in selling its program. Boasts about
the great American victory at the. recent North
Atlantic Treaty Organization meeting in Lisbon
have all been made in general terms,
It is impossible for Washington reporters to find
out who in Europe is going to contribute what, and
how much each country’s share of the total burden
will be. Cabled news dispatches from European
capitals are obscured by an even thicker fegginess.
SECURITY GOVERNED BY MILITARY &
AND DIPLOMACY
The reason given for all this mystery is that mil
itary security makes it necessary. European gov
ernments are said to be insisting that their military
budgets and defense strengths be kept secret. And
the U. S. government refuses to give a country-by=
country breakdown on foreign aid for fear that one
government might get jealous if it found another
was getting more from “Uncle Sugar.”
What does not seem to have penetrated is that
this is no year for blank-check writing. It has to be
proved to Congress that this expenditure is neces
sary. The folk at homre have to be shown that Eu
* meopean countries are doing al lthey can for their
ropean countries are doing all they can for their
There is a wave of pessimistic feeling in Cohgress
and elsewhere that France is falling apart. Britain
is believed by some to be ready for taking over by
Mr. ¢ Annoying” Bevan and his neutralists. Italy is
again considered ripe for Communist picking. It is
predicted Western Germany won't have any troops
in uniform before 1954. And so on, country by
country.
All the necessary facts and figures to disprove
these allegations may be presented to Congressional
Foreign Relations and Appropriations committees
considering the President’s $8 billion request. But
if these da’a are presented in executive session, the
publie will not be let in on what it’s all about.
EISENHOWER TRIPLED TROOPS IN ONE YEAR
One year ago, when General Eisenhower assumed
his NATO command, he had to start from scratch.
The progress he has made in this one year can be
indicatea by a comparison of forces available then
and now, and what he can look forward to one year
hence.
A year ago, General Eisenhowgg could scrape up
only eight dlvisions. Two were American, three
French, two 3ritish, one Belgian plus miscellaneous
brigades and battalions in Italy, Denmark, Nor
way, and The Netherlands. He had practically no
air force.
Today General Eisenhower is believed to have the
equivalent of some 25 divisions — a three-fold in
_grease. They are identified as six American, five
mh four British, thrce or four Italian, two to
_three Dutch, two to three Belgian plus scattered
brigades in the smaller countries,
. The 50 divisions envisaged for the end of this
¢ year would represent a doubling of the present
ground forces. This does not include the 12 divis
ions earmarked for Germany. Nor does it include a
possible 60 divisions in being in Greece, Turkey and
Yugoslavia. The total is 122, not counting neutral
forces in Spain and Switzerland,
If this much progress can be made in a year, it
is argued that the siiuation in Europe is not as
hopeless as many pessimists have portrayed it.
General Eisenhower, fromr his Paris headquarters,
continues to radiate optimism in his leadership.
But so far, nobody on this side of the ocean has ap
peared to raise the sights of the American people
as much as Ike has lifted them for the Europeans.

I dom’t know how to describe the amazing period

Red Cross Can Make
Lot Of Wishes Come True
The six-year-old girl of Narvik, Norway, would
like to know that her last wish came true,
From the talk of her parents, the child had
learned of the suffering of the war waifs of Korea.
She, who knew what suffering could be.
For some time she thought it over, and then one
day she asked her mother and daddy if she couldn’t
send the Korean children some clothes. Before any=-
thing could be done about it, she died.
Remembering their child’s wish, the mother and
father asked persons coming to the funeral to bring
children’s clothes instead of flowers,
There came 20 woolen sweaters and nine woolen
scarfs. They were sent to Korea by the Norwegian
Red Cross.
The story of the child of Narvik has a strong
appeal in the confused world of today. We like to
know of the simple, good things that people wish
for others, We like to know of people who make
those wishes come true,
And we wish, all too momentarily perhaps, that
we could do more such things ourselves. We can,
The Red Cross of Norway, which sent the cloth
ing to Korea, is but one of 68 such Red Cross so
cieties throughout the world which do countless
such deeds daily.
One of these societies, and one of the greatest, is
our own American Red Cross. E
Its big job now is helping to ease the shocks and
the pain of war for our fighting men and their fam
ilies. It serves as a counseling friend of the service
nmran with troubles. It provides the necessary factual
reassurances about him for his family back home.
It provides necessary financial help for the service
man and his family.
At the same time it is the one greatest source of
help for disaster’s destitute—victims of floods, fires,
storms—who are unable to help themselves,
Remember the great Kdnsas and Missouri floods
of last summer? Thousands of men, women and
children of that flood area know what Red Cross
help means. The organization spent more than sl2 -
009,000 in that one relief operation — all of it on
people, the people who actually had suffered and
who couldn’t get back on their feet without help.
American Red Cross help goes all over the world
—equipment for a children’s tuberculosis hospital
in Italy; food for flood sufferers of India; food and
medieine for earthquake victims in South America.
Still, it and its sister societies are never too big
or too busy to help make come true the last yish of
a little girl in Norway.
The Red Cross can make lots of such wishes come
true—your wishes. A contribution to the organiza
tion’s current fund drive can insure the granting
of yours.
The Unsafe Wheel
The daily narration of highway tragedies in the
papers makes out a case of man’s inability to cope
with the situation. Apathy of some of the courts to
impose imprisonment instead of fines, continuous
driving when under alcoholic influence, failure to
recognize the rights of others, all concur in making
the highway situation tragical.
Probably the cure is in the man behind the wheel.
It is believed by some psychologists that not only
should one not get behind a wheel when in the least
intoxicated, but he should not if under some emo=
tion, some dilemma, or if his mind is occupied with
sonre large and important matter. In such condi
tions no one can give proper heed to his driving.
Tragedies, lectures, fines, even imprisonment
seem to have little effect on the average driver. The
psychologists may be right, but how can drivers so
affected be reached? Teaching safety driving in our
schools may be the only way to finally make driv=
ing on the highways safe-~Elberton Star.
If I find there are more criminals, hoodlums and
scum in boxing than there are decent people, and
if I find I can’t guide out of boxing all those un
desirables, then I'll resign and do everything with
in my power to have boxing abolished in this state.
—Robert Christenberry, chairman, New York Etate
Athletic Comnrission.
1 am convinced that among America’s million=
aires there is not one who would not throw his
millions away and go begging if by doing so he
could prevent World War llL.—Pastor Martin Nie
moeller, to East German Communists,
It is desperately important that we wake up at
last to-the hard fact that we must either hold the
whole Pacific or lose he whoie Pacific. We cannot
allow it to be chipped away piece by piece.~Gov~
ernor Thomas Dewey.
The persistence of a general condition which . . .
may explode at any moment . . . cannot leave
good men motionless where they are, listless spec
tators of an onrushing future.—Pope Pius XII,
Almost every woman considers a doctor a good
catch in the matrimonial market. And if.you get
grumpy once in a while, it is nice to have a guy
around the house who blames it not on you — but
your hormones.—Actress Dorothy Sarnoff,
I can't distinguish the difference between nren
and women in your country. You have men in the
kitchens and women in the State Department.—
Munir Burshan, parliamentary secretary of Libya.
If tax money from corporations is used to pay
wage increases, someone else will have to make up

of individual states throughout the
Nation. The first of these was held
in Cleveland on March 12 to ap
praise and evaluate the progress
of conservation in Ohio.
It is planned that authorities in
conservation and related fields in
each particular state will be asked
to address these meetings. At the
Cleveland meeting Art Robinson,
Director of Public Relations and
Public Education of the Ohio Wa
ter Pollution Control Board spoke
on the pollution of Ohio’s Waters.
In the establishment of the Wa
ter Pollution Control Board set
up under the new water control
act uassed by its 99th Generall
Assembly, the State of Ohio is
preparing to make a new and much
more effective attack on the pro
blem of water pollution, Robin
son explained. This act created a
separate Water Pollution Control
Board within the Department of
Health, which includes repres
entation of the Department of
Commerce, Division of Natural
Resources, Municipalities and In
dustry.
A vital section of the new act
provides that municipalities and
industries must obtain permits for
the discharge ofsewage and other
wastes into the waters of the state,
Robinson disclosed. This section
becomes effective September 27,
1952, Issuance of permits will be
for specified periods and reissua
nce will be considered by the
Board on the basis of progress
shown toward the elimination of
pollution. Violation of the act is
punishable by fines up to SSOO and
imprisonment up to one year; each
single day of wviolation is to be
considered as a separate offense.
“This act gives tremendous new
impetus to the campaign for clean
streams,” Robinson declared.
“Coupled with the eight-state com=
pact now existent in the Ohio
River Valley Water Sanitation
Commission, it may be expecled
to result in rapid strides toward
restoration of one of our most
important natural resources which
has been atrociously mistreated in
the past.”
Army's Experis
Soviel Equipment
ABERDEEN, Md., March 13—
(AP)—Almost since the start of
fighting Korea, the Army’s ex=-
perts on weapons at Aberdeen
Proving Ground have been tink
ering with samples of Russian
equipment captured by UN forces.
At first it was crude and obso
lete. The experts knew it all from
World War I days or from World
War I days er from their studies
of it on a “lend-lease” basis in
World War 11.
Then came a new 37 millime=
ter anti-aircraft gun, a new ar=-
mored Jeep, a sub-machine gun
dated ¢1951.”
It was no secret at the proving
ground. Many of the weapons
taken from the North Korean and
Chinese Communist enerhy in Ko
rea bore the Russian stamp.
A report released by Gen. Mat
thew B. Ridgway’s headquarters
in Tokyo Monday indicated vir=-
tually all the equipment now in
use by the Reds in Korea is Rus
sian-made.
The report itemized it by mod
el-number. Aberdeen’s experts
have worked over every item on
the list.
Exactly what the ordnance ex
perts have learned about Russian
- weapons captured in Korea is se
: ;ret.
~ Generally, they agree:
Russian weapons are crude,
compared with ours. They go into
battle without many of the re
finements our fighting men insist
on. They may not go as far, as
fast, as comfortably, but they get

there. They have a high efficiency
as kiilers. The graveyards in Ko
rea prove the point. A tank need
not have been bullt in hot and
eold running water to kill you.
It doesn’t take as many m\n
hours nor as much raw material
to make them. The Russians can
produce four or five weapons in
the time it takes us and for the
money we spend on a comparable
one,
The study of Russian weapons
captured in Korea has pointed up
an old military quandry:
“Would it be better if our tanks
were not quite so good and we had
more of them?”
