' Our Own Interests In Europe
b BY PETER EDSON
f NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—U. S. delegates to the
recent Economic Commrission for Europe meeting in
Geneva, Switzerland, came Lack pretty well beaten
down., ”
William M. Draper, jr., new U. S. representative
on the North Atlantle Treaty Organization Council,
was designated chief U. S, representative to ECE,
but he eouldn’t be in Geneva much of the time be
cause of the NATO reorganization and removal
from London to Paris.
In his place, Paul Porter, Mutual Security Ad
ministrator for Burope, and Robert E. Asher, former
head of the U. 8. permanent mission to ECE in
Geneva, had to hold down the lid with their staff
of trade emperts and advisers.
Criticism of America revolved around two main
points. First was a feeling of too much American
interference in internal affairs of friendly countries.
Second was a feeling that the U. S. was now con=
cerned enly in military defense and had no more
interest in the economic recovery of western Eu-
Yope,
¢ pecifically the criticism centered on certain U,
S. foreign trade laws. One was Alabama Congress=
man Laurie C. Battle’s bill which bans the giving
of American aid to European countries that export
strategic materials to communist countries. Another
was Section 104 of the Defense Mobilization bill,
This is the so-called ‘“‘cheese amendment” which
cuts down the imports of foreign fats, oils and dairy
products into the United States.
FICHTERS PULLED OUT O¥F MOTHBALLS
A third sore spot that still hurts is the require
ment that 50 percent 6f the Marshall Plan goods
had to be shipped in American vessels. American
freighters were pulled out of mothballs to handle
this traffie, while some European shipping remained
idle.
A fourth resentment was found to be coming
from European manufacturers who were able to
quote prices on defense supplies 25 percent below
American levels, but still were unable to make
sales because of pressure fromr home to “Buy Am
gvican’ .
D:legates to Geneva from the Soviet bloc coun=-
tries, aware of these criticisms of American trade
policies, concentrated their propaganda attack with
arguments that the United States was really not
interested in European recovery. It was said that all
America wanted was to expand its own export
market while barring the exports from other coun
tries. This was the theme that was also repeated at
the more recent Moscow trade parley.
A secondary effect of this development is that it
has ‘weakened American insistence that the Euro
pean countries break down their own internal trade
barriers and develop a freer market. :
One other effect is that when the United States
shuts down on imports fronr Europe, it forces the
European countries to seek other markets. The most
natural place to look for these markets is in Com-=
munist-dominated eastern Europe, where, before
the war, there had been traditional East-West
trade. In re-developing this trade, complications
immediately arise. A few examples illustrate. ,
COUNTRIES COULDN'T AFFORD OUR COAL
Several of the countries hardest hit by U. S.
cheese import restrictions depend heavily on Poland
for a considerable amount of their coal. Recently
the Poles made it clear that they would not supply
coal, to western Europe unless they would furnish
strategic machine tools in exchange.
Ordinarily, these countries would have turned
down the Polish request without hesitation and
bought their coal from the U. S. But after counting
the dollars that they could earn by selling less
cheese to the U. S., and all the dollar-aid they
might receive in addition, they found they could not
possibly afford to buy American coal,
1f the cheese amendment could have been re
pealed, the problem could have been solved without
difficulty. If it can’t be repealed, the alternative
seems to be to give the coal away, to the detriment
of the Mutual Security program which might well
use the money for munitions to better advantage,
and at the expense of the American taxpayer.
Southern Italy offers another example of how
the cheese amendment has worked against Amer
jcan interests. Southern Italy is notoriously poor.
With a great deal of unemployment, it has been a
fertile ground for Communist agitators.
Before the cheese amendment was passed, one of
the bright spots in Southern Italy was a developing
market for cheese exports to America, After the
amendment was passed last year, when the bottom
dropped out of the Italian cheese market, agents
from the Communist countries appeared, offering
‘to buy agricultural products of the area, with ob
vious propaganda intent.
A scientist says tHere is a fly in South America
shat travels 800 miles an hour. Oh, sure, it'll be
here when swatting season starts.
‘An Oregon man said he lived to be 98 because
he started chewing tobacco when he was ten. And
zept right on plugging!

Two Important Campus Events
Are Of State-Wide Interest
Athens is fortunate in having as its guests today
approxinrately 1,000 high school students from
over the state, who are here for two important
events on the campus of the University of Georgia,
and we extend to them a cordial welcome and
voice the hope and the belief that their stay here
will prove both pleasant and profitable,
Around 700 of the visitors are guests of the
Henry Grady School of Journalism for the twenty
fifth annual conclave at which trophies will be
awarded for outstanding accomplishment in the
various phases of high school journalism., Dean
John E. Drewry of the School of Journalism origi
nated and established this annual event a quarter
of a century ago. Through the years, it has grown
in interest and usefulness until today it is one of
the most important of the yearly affairs on the
campus, When several hundred high school stu
dents visit the University campus, thus acquainting
thenrselves with the academic advantages available
here, it is inevitable that many of them will come
back to Athens to pursue their educational training
after graduating from high school. »
And that is what has happened, especially where
the Journalism School is concerned. These budding
young journalists, impressed by advantages to be
obtained by returning to Athens to continue their
studies, bave built the Henry Grady School of
Journalism into one of the largest and most im
portant schools of this type in the South. Moreover,
the excellent type of training they receive here fits
them for lucrative positions in the field of jour
nalism when their college days are over. So, on this
silver anniversary, we salute and congratulate
Dean Drewry for having established this enter
prise 25 years ago, and for having conducted it in
such manner that it has grown in interest and im
portance through the years.
The other convention, bringing several hundred
high school students here as guests of the Art De
partment, was established nine years ago and,
likewise, is commanding widespread attention un
der the able direction of Lamar Dodd, head of the
Art Department. More than 500 paintings and
other art works will be on display in the school’s
art gallery for today’s conference. These were se
lected from 2,100 art specimens submitted. They
will remain on display for two weeks. From the
number, the two most outstanding works will be
selected for the award of scholarships for two high
school seniors for continuance of their art training
at the Univeristy.
We commend Dean Drewry and Director Dodd
for the effective work they are doing in promwoting
interest among the young people in their respective
fields. Their efforts will result in a greater appre
ciation of excellence in journalism and art as the
years go by. We also commend the high school stu
dents, gathered here today, for the fine spirit they
exhibit in making these two annual events an out
standing success.
Look-Alike Homes, Uniformly
"Planned Slums” Mark Qur Era
There are still too many places in America where
new city growth embodies some of the worst seas
tures of the old. ‘
Enough is known today about economical home
design and scientific community planning to pro
duce new residential areas which nrake for a max
imum of good living. But, by and large, we are not
getting that kind of building.
Take a look at the latest residential projects in
most cities. Houses too often are still being built
upon narrow, uniformly straight lots that deny
privacy and cut down light and air.
Houses built in advance for a market—the so
called speculative construction—show little if any
architectural quality. Following the 'monotonous
grid street pattern of old, they may string up and
down a city’s streets in endless repetition of similar
roof lines and other exterior features. ok
From a distance they sometimes loom up like
packing boxes stacked in a field awaiting shipment
somewhere. Nothing seems so absurd as to see them
jammed together on small lots in a new develop
ment set in a sea of hundreds of empty acres.
From the viewpoint of the individual home
buyer and of the community itself this kind of
thing is painfully inadequate. And it is inexcusable,
One may easily argue that in view of our eco
nomic “laws” it is perfectly natural that home
building should have followed the course it has
taken—that the builder and lot-seller should try to
get the maximum dollar out of any given piece of
ground.
The argument overlooks one factor, however,
that is just as compelling as any economic law, That
is this: You are not selling strips of bacon when
you sell lots. You are not manufacturing cheese
boxes when you build houses. They are not a pro
duct that will be used and thrown away.
You are building a city, a neighborhood, a way of
life. You are putting a powerful, perhaps perma
nent imprint upon the land. You are creating an
environment, a scene, a background that will have
to be looked at for countless years.
No one may logically contend, therefore, that
what any man or group of men does with a par
ticular piece of land is not the business of the
wider community. It is. No nratter what the rights
of private property, there should be no right to
deface a city.
It is not too harsh to say that here and there we
are building planned slums. A house ought to be a
man’s crowning pride, not his particular slot in an
expanding cell block.
What is the use of knowing better if we do not
act upon what we know?
No news is good news—everywhere but a‘t the
meeting of the women’s sewing circle.

Awful Dread Of Atomic Bomb Has
Subsided As TV Showing Proves
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK —(AP)— America l
has learned to live with the atom
bomb. |
The final proof of this was the
televising of the latest explosion
in Nevada.
. There was a mixed reaction to
the A-bomb’s video debut. Taken
purely in terms of sound, many
viewers found it less awe-inspir
ing than the vocal chords of Mil
ton Berle.
“It looks like a closeup of Jimmy"
Durante,” one spectator comment
ed. Others felt it still had a long
way to go before it would seri
ously rival Arthur Godfrey. And
some, who dialed in the demon
stration late, mistook the gigantic
smoke puff for a new kind of
cigaret ad.
But the mere fact that millions
of housewives could sit in their
living rooms and calmly watch an
atom bomb burst shows how much
the public has lost its fear of this
frightful weapon.
Even five years ago a show of
this kind might have stirred up
a storm of protest. People had an
unreasoning panic about the atom
bomb then. Many parents objected
' to radio discussions of it, saying
it created hysteria in their ¢hil
- dren.
. At that time the bomb was ac
tively feared as an instrument
that could and might well be ex
pected to wipe out civilization. It
would be interesting to know how
many families bought remote
mountain hideaways ,or secretly
stored food catches in caverns
against the possibility of the out
break of a disastrous world-wide
atom war. It was done.
Dread Subsides
But recently, despite the an
nouncement of three atomic ex
plosions in Soviet Russia, the na
tional dread of atomic conflict has
died down. The scare wave has
subsided.
One reason is that five years
ago it was accepted as a certainty
that a new war would be heralded
by a rain of atom bombs. But
fighting has gone on for 22 months
in Korea without the employment
of these devastating bombs by

anger,
Another reason for the more
sensible approach to the problem
of the atom bomb is the fact that
the population has become ad
justed to an atmosphere of pro
longed crisis. You can’t remain
tense forever. People who live on
the edge of a precipice gradually
get accustomed to it. Potential
danger is always frightening ‘at
