HEADLINES AND SOUR GRAPES Most everyone is aware that Communist infiltration into government is a serious menace in this troubled cold-war period, but the new report of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments made disturbing headlines in the Nation's press. The committee reported evidence that at least four Soviet spy rings have been operating in Washington in recent years and that only two of them have been uncovered and rooted out. It is surely to be hoped that the committee, which is headed by Senator Jenner of Indiana, will stay vigilantly on the job until his phase of the cleanup in Washington is completed. In this regard, it is not pleasant to note that Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver chose the very day when The committee reported evidence that at least four Soviet spy rings have been operating in Washington in recent years and that only two of them have been uncovered and rooted out. It is surely to be hoped that the committee, which is headed by Senator Jenner of Indiana, will stay vigilantly on the job until his phase of the cleanup in Washington is completed. In this regard, it is not pleasant to note Tennessee's Senator Estes Kefauver chose the very day when the committee's report hit the newsstands to attack congressional investigating committees for making "sensational disclosure" in order to grab headlines. Of all people, Senator Kefauver is in poor position to express such an attitude! While the Tennessean failed to gain the Democratic presidential nomination last summer, he did, in making his bid, prove himself to be one of the foremost exhibitionists and headline-grabbers in the country's political history. As chairman of a Senate committee investigating crime and corruption in government, he had performed useful public service—but he played his attendant publicity to the hilt in his drive for delegates, topped off, quite liberally, with the coon skin cap that became his campaign trademark. News that concerns the welfare and safety of the Nation is headline news of the first rank, no matter which political party is in power when it is made. Mr. Kefauver may not have noted that the Jenner committee, which concurred unanimously in the report, include three Democrats! SETTING IT STRAIGHT Of late many citizens of the San Francisco-Oakland area have become exasperated over the inconveniences of a strike that tied up the Key System transportation lines. Typical of letters of protest sent in to bay area newspapers is one in which the writer vehemently criticized both sides for having a "public be damned" attitude, and added: "Does the public always have to be the goat for the greedy and selfish demands of union leaders and the managers of transportation companies?" Entirely aside from the rights or wrongs of the dispute in question, that letter touches upon a point of public utility operation which seems widely misunderstood. In the Key System strike, the utility management wasn't "selfishly demanding" anything. Under our California laws, no public utility can "demand" anything—neither from the public nor from its employees. A union may strike for higher wages, but a utility that seeks an increased rate for its public service has the sole recourse of filing a request with the Public Utilities Commission, and must abide by its decision. A public utility, whether it provides transportation or gas or light or phone service, has no power to make an end of a political flasco — to about the best way to describe the recent deadlock at the W House on Labor-law changes has just resulted in the resition of Martin Durkin as Secretary of Labor in the Eisenhower inet. For the idea of putting in cabinet a Partisan of union I has proved a fop. Here was executive head of a big union who, when he entered cabinet, was merely on "leave absence" from his union president and did not, therefore compler sever all previous connections to the same way that other call officers did when they found necessary to sell all their and resign all directorship corporations with which they been identified. Here was a union official who continued to the mouthpiece of his former sociates and lifetime friend organized labor. Here was a who felt it was his duty to represent the interests of labor united and not the interests of e management or the public. Natural sequel, after only eight months of service, was a signation. What happened behind the scotch to bring the matter to a head badly will never be disclosed entirely. But the union . . . chieftains in the AFL and CIO pressing Secretary Durkin to attain from the president an amendment on certain amendments to the Taft-Hartley Labor-Manager law. Steadily the pressure was exerted throughout the last several months. Members of the house Senate committees on Labor been trying to draft amendments to the present law, but these not accettable to union-labor era. They wanted all or not Mr. Durkin put up to the president a series of amendments was the minimum that the union would accept. They made pledge, however, that this was they wanted or that they would support the administration if amendments were recommended to Congress. The president, characteristic fairness, tried see how many of the labor-u proposals he could accept and dedicated in a general way that favored a number of them. Then came a curious epilogue of a presidential mage to Congress, written in styl eof a finished communica from the chief executive, leaout. The Wall Street Journal published it first, and other n lic utility operation which seems widely misunderstood. In the Key System strike, the utility management wasn’t “selfishly demanding” anything. Under our California laws, no public utility can “demand” anything—neither from the public nor from its employees. A union may strike for higher wages, but a utility that seeks an increased rate for its public service has the sole recourse of filing a request with the Public Utilities Commission, and must abide by its decision. A public utility, whether it provides transportation or gas or light or phone service, has no power to make an “or else” demand upon its customers, and no authority to cease its public service even if it loses money. The public be damned? The utility company cannot even whisper “the public be darned!” Anaheimers Attend Talk by Doolittle Despite the truce in Korea, twice the present number of USO-Camp Shows in the Far East are needed. General James H. Doolittle told a Juncheon audience in Pasadena, Friday. Attending from Anaheim were Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Marvin and Miss Anne Treanor. The famed flyer who led the Tokyo raid in April, 1942, as chairman of the Untied Defense Fund which supports USO and other defense-related services was guest speaker at a luncheon in his honor at the Huntington Hotel. The meeting was sponsored by the Community Chests and Councils of Southern California. Herbert Speth, head of the Pasadena Chest, was chairman. SONGS OF A SONNETEER BY R.

KALTENBORN and ROLF KALTENBORN (Mr. Kaltenborn is writing from Europe where he is visiting "Russia's Uneasy Neighbors" — those apprehensive states whose borders touch the Soviet Union. In his absence his son Rolf will write on the domestic scene and on those news areas which Mr. Kaltenborn does not cover in his swing through Europe. BONN—Democratic elections cannot solve democratic problems. Germany, like the United States, continues to face the menace of Communist Russia and the danger of a continuing deficit. Chancellor Adenauer now has a new mandate, but no new resources. IT IS TRUE that Germany appears surprisingly prosperous. That struck me first in noting the revival of the great port of Hamburg. The impression was enforced by the huge reconstruction program I observed in beleaguered Berlin. It was confirmed by the record number of German tourists in the Munich area. Now, here in Bonn, it is substantiated by a wealth of federal statistics and the general building and business boom that the temporary presence of the Federal Government has brought to this part of the Rhine Valley. I say temporary because everyone here anticipates a reunited Germany and a transfer of the seat of government to Berlin. My own feeling is that this will take more time than most Germans would like to admit. MEMBERS OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT are almost unanimous in predicting a return to Berlin at a date not too far distant, yet the Adenauer regime is carrying out a building program in Bonn that is providing necessary housing. On the Communist side said, "Russia is seeking to be Communist control on all matters. On the pan-Slavic side following the policy of Rimperialist expansion — the policy which was followed by Russian Czars for 200 years." THE DAY AFTER I met cellar Adenauer I entertained lunch the chief Russian expeditionary German Foreign Office Hilger. I asked hml to evoke for me, percentage-wise, the aims of Russia's foreign policy. He replied without hesitation: would give 80 per cent to Pan-Slavic aims and only 20 per cent to the expansion of concessions." Chancellor Adenauer agreed the present belief of every pean leader to whom I have on this trip, that there is no current danger of a hot war. German leader emphasized there is no present danger because there is no present danger of Russian success. He put it this way: "Russia only one enemy—the United States. Only your country has the coal and steel resources needed to achieve victory over the munist countries. But Europe enough of these resources, but deed to those the Soviet Union controls, to give her the balance power." The David Lawrence Dispatch (BY DAVID LAWRENCE) WASHINGTON, Sept. 12. - The idea of putting in the net a Partisan of union labor improved a fop. Here was an intuitive head of a big labor man who, when he entered the net, was merely on "leave of force" from his union presidency did not, therefore completely for all previous connections in same way that other cabinet men did when they found it necessary to sell all their stock resign all directorships in corporations with which they had identified. Here was a labor-man official who continued to be mouthpiece of his former associates and lifetime friends in organized labor. Here was a man felt it was his duty to represent the interests of labor unions not the interests of either management or the public. Theiral sequel, after only about six months of service, was a reation. What happened behind the scenes during the matter to a head proclivity will never be disclosed in its entirety. But the union-labor detains in the AFL and CIO kept Secretary Durkin to obey from the president an agreement on certain amendments to Taft-Hartley Labor-Management readily the pressure was exerted throughout the last several months. Members of the house and state committees on Labor and a trying to draft amendments were present law, but these were accustomable to a labor-lead They wanted all or nothing. Durkin put up to the pres-series of amendments which the minimum that the unions and accept. They made no mistake however, that this was all wanted or that they would port the administration if the amendments were recommended Congress. The president, with characteristic fairness, tried to show many of the labor-union bosses he could accept and included in a general way that he needed a number of them. Sen came a curious episode. Draft of a presidential mess-tory to Congress, written in the so-finalished communication by the chief executive, leaked "The Wall Street Journal" itself, and other news- papers and periodicals followed. Businessmen became alarmed at the extent to which the administration had gone over to the labor union side. Thereupon it was announced at the White House that the message was only a "work-ing draft" and was by no means final. Several of the Eisenhower aides favored it, but they had no authority to make any "agreements" with the labor side. Secretary Durkin felt that the draft represented the least he could ask for and stay in the cabinet. He so notified the president informally, and, when he didn't get a definite commitment, he wrote a letter of resignation on August 31. The president consulted his associates. He felt apparently that he had no alternative but to accept it and that he couldn't be in the position of being pressured into a decision by any line, especially a cabinet officer who represented one particular point of view. If the president had had the benefit of good political advice, he would have selected a labor man of less partisan connections in ethers instature. The late Senator Taft who called the Durkin appointment "incredible," felt there were several other men from whom a good selection friendly to labor could have been made. The Ohio senator said he would work with Mr. Durkin—he didn't vote against his confirmation. Mr. Taft was ready to make certain legislative concessions, too, but not on issue believed by him to be fundamental in protecting the public interest. He didn't believe in special privilege for any group. Actually it was a mistake for the White House entourage to become entangled in an effort to rewrite the labor law. It would have been sufficient to express general principles and leave it to congress to write the law. There is a two-thirds majority in both Houses for a retention of the Taft-Hartley Act in substantially its present form. Very few amendments would have gotten through congress, anyway, even if Mr. Eisenhower had accepted the Durkin viewpoint. It would have been better politics for the president to have kept aloof from detailed recommendations altogether. It is not too late for him to adopt that course and let union labor wrestle with Congress, which is supposed to protect all the people and not just a privileged group. Writing legislation isn't an executive function. (Reproduction Rights Reserved) MEMBERS OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT are almost unanimous in predicting a return to Berlin at a date pot too far distant, yet the Adenaer regime is carrying out a building program in Bonn that is providing the necessary housing and office space for many thousands of federal bureaus and officials. These new buildings do not have the temporary character of some of those that the two world wars brought to Washington. Even the British Embassy is putting up on one of Bonn's main avenues one of the ugliest box-like permanent office structures that has ever housed a diplomatic staff. What accounts for the part-real part-apparent prosperity that has come to Germany? A leading German banker whose opinion is respected by U.S. Ambassador Conant cites these reasons: 1. The currency reform which wiped out the paper mark and substituted a mark that is "as good as gold." 2. Elimination of government controls over private banks. 3. Complete freedom of operation in the marketplace. This, of course, is a banker's point of view. I would add one more reason — the willingness of the German to work harder, longer and for less money than most of his competitors for world markets. CHANGELLOR ADENAUER, whom I interviewed here in Bonn, cautioned me not to exaggerate Germany's prosperity. "It hangs by a thread," he said. "It depends on a continuance of German exports at the present high rate. Any decline in world trade would at once be reflected in our export figures. "We are also finding it increasingly difficult to compete in steel products because our industrial machinery is becoming obsolete and we don't have the necessary capital to renew it. That is true both in steel and textiles." There is a slight development of unemployment in the Ruhr area that may be a danger sign. This cautious attitude is typical of Germany's 78-year-old Chancellor. He is remarkably alert and vigorous and has not aged since I first interviewed him here three years ago. He came through the continued strain of the campaign without a visible sign of fatigue. But he admitted with a laugh that he is looking forward to the end as a boy looks forward to vacation time. NO ONE with whom I have talked during my visits to Russia's European neighbors faces the issue of continuing Communist hostility on this trip, that there is no present danger of a hot war. B German leader emphasized there is no present danger because there is no present danger of Russian success. He put it this way: "Russia only one enemy—the United States coal and steel resources need to achieve victory over the munitist countries. But Europe enough of these resources, I ded to those the Soviet Union controls, to give her the balancing power." BUT SHE WOULD HAVE secrete them intact.

OTHMAN WASHINGTON—Maybe you've been reading lately about Warren L. Stephenson, our cut-rate five percenter (he only charges four), and the deal he tried to make, peddling launchers for the Navy's Mickey Mouse. Everybody, including the Congressmen who did the investigating, got so interested in the egg-bald Stephenson's machinations that they ignored the Mice. This, I think, was a mistake. As for the launchers, which cost around $50 per copy, they were made of paper. Let us catch up on nautical rodents and explosive paper-work: The Mickey Mouse is an ultramodern rocket about 10-feet long. It is made of plastic and when you shoot it off, like a skyrocket, it creates what you might call havoc when it lands. There are, or soon will be in stock, at least 120,000 of these violent Mice. So there was Robert Q. Parsons, president of Century Engineers, Inc., of Burbank, Calif., telling the statesmen about how the bargain-basement five percenter tried to collect a share of whatever the Navy paid Century for Mouse launchers. It turned out, according to Parsons, that the Navy spent between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000 developing these weapons of the day-after-tomorrow and woke up one ghastly morning to discover that it had forgotten about the necessity of getting them into the air. As Parsons put it: "Suddenly somebody realized they didn't have anything to shoot the rockets out of." Gad! That was like a boat without a rudder, or a sedan minus wheels. The embarassed admirals were delighted when Parsons said he bet he could build a launcher for a Mouse. He did, too. He made it of paper, glued in a spiral, like a mailing tube for a alarmed. "It am not going to fire any rocket out of a piece of paper like that; I'm responsible for the safety on this range," said the man in charge. Or at least that's the way Parsons quoted him. Our inventor tried to soothe the military by pointing out that the paper had been impregnated by a fine, fire-resistant plastic. "We assured him that this was a very substantial piece of stuff," continued Parsons. But the commandant still was skeptical: he foresaw scraps of flaming paper fluttering down on every building in his charge. Parsons scouted around for some heavy iron chain, he said, and with this he bound his paper tube and slipped into it one of those Mice. "It looked kind of silly to have a piece of paper tied down with chain," he said, "but after he (the commander) decided it was safe, we fired the rocket and it was successful." Further experiments indicated the chain wasn't necessary. It also developed that the paper tube made a fine packing tube for a Mouse. That still, was not all. "It was very much appreciated by the maintenance people of the fleet for the simple reason that there was no maintenance," Parsons added. "You fire it and throw it away." The Navy said it needed 12,000 paper tubes in a hurry. It insisted that Parsons tell four or five of his competitors how to make Mouse launchers. He did and next thing he knew (but not for certain), the Navy was about to let him build only 30,000 of them when he'd figured he'd at least make twice that many. That's where the fire-sale five percenter came in. Hire Stephenson, said Stephenson, and Parsons would get the business. This made Parsons sore, the investigation en- This trip that there is no preserver danger of a hot war. But the German leader emphasized that there is no present danger only because there is no present chance Russian success. He put it this way: "Russia fears by one enemy—the United States. Only your country has the iron, oil and steel resources necessary to achieve victory over the Communist countries. But Europe has enough of these resources, if allowed to those the Soviet Union now controls, to give her balance of power." BUT SHE WOULD HAVE to secure them intact. In a hot war, would be destroyed before she could utilize them. We must, therefore, expect the Soviet Union to take to acquire these European resources by the continued presence of a cold war." Chancellor Adenauer continued: thus the only possible policy for Europe to prevent further Communist penetration is to unite. We must not forget that communism is ready strong in France and Italy. The European Defense Community can absolute must." Despite all the scare stories about America's declining prestige abroad, only recent comprehensive publication survey indicates that Europe Sam is still pretty popular—in touchy, nationalistic sense. The poll, conducted by the leader of French magazine Realities, concludes that the great majority ofenchmen like Americans. Only 2 percent said they disliked us. Also the majority expressed sharp approval of the signs reading "Go Home" which have been used by Communists on many boards. The Eisenhower administration is being subjected to strong protests against its reductions of government personnel. Entrenched bureaucrats are trying desperately to protect their little "empires." These office-holders may suffer temporarily, but the nation as a whole will benefit. The high cost of government has been one of the greatest factors promoting inflation. Australia is now suffering from severe inflation primarily because continued high spending by a state government bureaucracy. One Australian in four is now employed by the government. This payroll borrows between 35 and 40 per cent of the national income. Taxation here is at a level which leaves almost nothing for saving or for even best pleasures.

Your originality in both spoken and written word will always give you full opportunity to put over your ideas. Since you enjoy excitement and novelty, you will sometimes project an idea just to see what happens. Quite conventional in your approach to conventional problems, you enjoy introducing the "shock treatment", intellectually, to wake up those you feel may be only half awake, culturally. You will probably make a reputation for yourself as an astute critic in your own times. The one danger is that you may become destructive in your criticism rather than creatively constructive. This weakens your ultimate value. Almost anyone can find fault with things as they are. It takes real genius to find the right solution and then apply it. You are high-tempered and inclined to be impatient if things do not work out as you might wish. Your friends will probably consider all this "artistic temperament", but your critics will think it bad manners, as well as plain ill temper! You are very sensitive to your home environment and unless it is suitable, you can be very unhappy. If this happens, take steps to correct it at once for you cannot do your best work under conditions which lack harmonious aspects. Wed someone who is willing to take a back seat and let you run the show! Interested in science, philosophy and even the occult sciences, you might easily make an important contribution to the world's knowledge in one of these fields.
