Bureaucrats Promote Waste
r 1
As was to be expected, spokesmen for the Department
of the Interior are vigorously protesting against cuts
made by the House in certain requested appropriations for
government power plants, transmission lines, and related
facilities, 'lTiey are especially bitter over an amendment
which would forbid Interior to build lines which duplicate
or compete with those owned by private utility companies
which are distributing government-produced electricity.
Here is more compelling evidence of the fact that the
goal Os many men high in the government is to socialize
the utility industry as rapidly as possible, and to create a
vast Federal power monopoly which would dominate agri
culture, business and all other segments of the econ
omy. The cuts recommended by the House are moderate
in all .cases. They simply represent a conscientious effort
to squeeze some of the water out of Interior’s padded re
quests for funds. In the view of many experts, much heav
ier cuts would be both possible and wise.
The amendment which would prevent the construct
ion of duplicating lines is particularly important. In var
ious places where the government is operating power
plants, the private utilities have complete networks which
reach!all existing and potential consumers. The govern
ment jpower. can be transmitted over these networks at a
minimum expense to all concerned. To build duplicating
systeips would simply be an inexcusable waste of the tax
payers’ money. It would, further, be an inexcusable waste
of manpower and materials in a critical period. Yet that
S is exactly what Interior wants to do.
Vie need a lot less socialism in this country, not more.
If thejgovemment went out of, the power business tomor
row, private enterprise would go right ahead giving de
* pendaple low-cost service to all who want it. The actions
taken by the House are a step in the right direction, des
spite Interior’s protests. The House is to be congratulated
—maydt stick to its guns.

These Days
| A peace offensive in all coun
tries has been conducted by Sov
iet Russia since 1946 The very
term, peace offensive, is paradox-i
leal. Who is opposed to peach?
Who wants war? Actually, while
Soviet Russia was most vigorous
in its peace offensive, the United
States let its military might dis
sipate. while Soviet Russia built
a large and potent military ma
chine.
It is important to bear this
six years’ campaign in mind in
: connection with Jacob Malik’s
cease-fire proposal. Throughout
the Korean War, Soviet Russia
has been circulating the “Stock- j
holm Peace Appeal.” It has been
signed by millions of persons in
all parts of the world, many of
them innocents who love peace,
hate war, and believe that be
cause that is what they under
stand, it is what the men in the
Kremlin mean.
Actually, what the Rucsians j
mean by peace is that the status
quo, however achieved, should be
recognized and stabilized.
Let us apply that to Korea.
North Korea is now occupied by
Soviet China. The North Korean
government has bee ndefeated
and destroyed by the United
Staates. However, instead of Che
Republic of Korea (South Korea*
occupying and unifying that
country, Soviet China, operating
out of the Manchurian sanctuary,
took possession and has been en
gaged in a war with the United
States. Soviet China's objective
has nothing to do with Korea. It’s
objectives are:
1 To obtain a seat in the United
Nations as the only recognized
government of China;
2 To be permitted to occupy For
mosa and to abolish the Nationa
list government, headed by Chiang
Kai-Shek;
3 Succession to China’s perma
nent seat on the Security Coun
cil 6f the United Nations;
4 The elimination of the Unit
ed States from Asiatic affairs;
5 A seat at the conference for
a treaty with Japan.
This the Russians call peace.
Actually, it means the total de
feat of the United States in KJA V
rea; the reduction of the Korean
State to precisely the conditions
that existed there on June 25,
1950; Hie strengthening of the
Communist position in relation
ship to the future not only of Ja
pan, but as the situation must
work out in time under these
terms, the Philippines..
Were this Russian peace ac- j
cepted, the voice of the United
States in the affairs of the world
would be equal to that of Japan
and Germany, the defeated coun
tries. It would mean, for our
country, total isolation. For few
countries, under such circum
stances, could afford to accept our
friendship or proffer theirs to us.
Dean Acheson and President
Truman have correctly resisted
the temptation of rushing into
Malik’s arms, for while peace is j
a popular word and no one in :
the United States favors the Ko- 1
rean War, the peril is that the ac
ceptance of Malik’s cease-fire
proposal, without knowing in ad
vance what Russia actually pro
poses, might be utterly disastrous
to this country.
There is another point in all
this which seems to have been
missed. Why did Russia make this
proposal? Why did 4t jiot come
from Soviet China? Why did not
Mao Tze-Tung propose it?
I note that some of the Euro
peans compare it to Malik’s pro
posal concerning the Berlin Air
lift. The cases are not analogous,
except under one condition;
In the matter of the Berlin
Airlift, the contention was be
tween the United States and So
viet Russia. In Korea, the contest
is between the United States and
Soviet China. Not a Russian has
fought in the Korea War. Rus
sia has heretofore assumed no
responsibility for the Korean
War.
Why then has Soviet Russia
suddenly intervened? This must
be noted; The *Mtet world is one
world. Whether it is war in North
Korea, a speech by TogliatU In
Italy or an article in the New
Yerk “Daily Worker,” or the
treatment of Christian' missionar
ies in China or Catholic priests in
Hungary—all decisions are final
ly made in the Kremlin, It is the
totality of the “One WoHjl” idea,
with central control.
Therefore, no matter what de
nials Russia may have made in
! namely. °that the eftotive iiriw"'

CURTAIN CALLS IN KOREA
To outdoor sages beyond the 38th Parallel, American performers
already have carried their songs, dances and comedy to fighting divi
sions which have forced the likes of Malik tp propose a truce. This is
the new show business of 1951, within sound of artillery fire and with
performers once again billited in sleeping bags.
Some of the performers are now back in New York and, despite the
toughness of the Korean tour, nearly all of them, remembering the
appreciation of homesick men, are anxious to play the Korean circuit
again.
Margaret Brown, great tap and ballet dancer from Long Beach,
Calif., is typical of the performers who went out from the States, in
the early troupes.
Despite the filthy chaos of Korea, despite the fact that roads are so
bad, that it takes 6'* hours to travel 35 miles, despite the fact that their
group was shelled near Todung-ni by Chinese in the surrounding hills,
aul despite the freezing nights, Margaret Brown already has asxecl
USO to go back.
Her, group played to 78,000 troops, often above the 38th Parallel.
Most of the fighting men had been in Korea 11 months, and hadn't seen
an American show until Elton Britt, the Arnauts, the Terry Twins, the
Quinlans, Wally Milford’s four-piece band, Jay Kirk and Margaret
planed into Pusan.
Thv performers’ day, in Korea, starts with 6 A. M. breakfast call.
They then jeep to a show area withir. five miles of the front lines, have i
lunch and start their matinees, giving shows to units ranging from 100 '
men to 5.000 and generally getting to sleep about midnight. All shows |
are given outdoors On some occasions, G1 patrols have reported that I
Chinese soldiers watched the show, through binoculars, from the sur
rounding hills.
Most of the shows prepare for the Korean adventure by playing
break-in dates at Governors Island, Fort Totten, the submarine base
in NewJLondon and Fort Jay. Margaret Brown's group, 15 in all. flew
from New York to Travis Air Force Base, between San Francisco and
Sacramento, flying from there the following midnight aboard a DC-6
to Tokyo, with fueling stopovers at Honolulu and Wake.
They played their first show in a hangar at Yokahoma, continued
on tp‘ the Navy base at Yokosuko and then played to 6,000 Gls'at
JohnMn Air force Base before taking off for Pusan at 5 A. M. from
Tokyb. So, by the time they gave their first show in Korea, this troupe
had worked out most of the kinks in the show and had developed real
[.ace.
Korea is most hills, it smells with a terrible odor, the harassed
population is filthy, the roads are frightful, dusty or muddy when it
rains, the nights are freezing cold and the ground continuously damp,”
performers tell you. “And all the towns should be burned down,” adds
Jagk Powell, comedy drummer who was in Korea with the first USO
tryipe.
Despite all these handicaps and regardless of the fact that per
formers get only about enough money to exist, they want to go back

WASHINGTON I have no idea
of the name of this tragic young
ster. He was 17 year old, a Puerto
Rican from New York’s Little San
Juan, and—to his shame and be
wilderment—a veteran dope addict.
There he was in his double
breasted brown suit and gay neck
tie being led by a Federal turnkey
to the Senatorial hot seat to tell
what he knew about baby dope
fiends, like himself, and how they
got that way. So let’s call him
Juan Doe.
Juan balked at the television
cameras ordered up by the crime
investigating committee. He did
not want his old mother, from
Whom he stole household treasures
to buy heroin, to see his face on
a TV screen. So Sen. Herbert R.
O’Conor (D., Md.), the chairman,
told the vido experts to keep their
machines from looking into his
handsome young face.
One of the cameras focused on
his hands; in his slim fingers
Juan clutched a handerchief un
til it turned into a tight bail. The
other camera in the rear of the
glittery Caucus Room kept its eye
on the back of his head. It could
not see Juan’s valiaAt efforts to
blink back the tears.
I, myself, think he made a mis
take about his mother; she could
have felt a little proud watching
her boy, who took up dope at the
age of 13. helping those Senators
figure out new laws to catch the
harpies preying on children with
reefers.
These are cigarettes made of
marijuana. First one Juan smoked
was free. One of his schoolmates,
himself still much too young to
think about shaving, gave it to
him. It made Juan feel wonder
ful. For a while. Then he wanted
more cigarettes. They cost 50 cents
apiece. And the more he smoked
the less effect they seemed to
have. Soon he simply was feeling
headachy. And 50-cent pieces were
hard to come by in Harlem.
One of his fellow reefer smokers
slipped him a capsule of heroin,
a white powder, which he sniffed
up his nose. This caused him to
feel good again. But when the
effects wore off,. Juan was sick.
He suffered nausea. Jumpy nerves,
butterfly stomach. So one of the
peddlers sold him more capsules,
25 for *lO.
The Senators couldn't under
stand how Juan located a drug
peddler. Juan said he didn’t have
to.
“They could see I- was sick,” he
said in English with only a hint of
Spanish accent. “They came to
me.”
So he sniffed heroin for a while.
The longer he used it. the more he
had to have. He quit school and
took 'a Job ae a cldfk tty get* the
money for his vice. He didn’t earn
enough to buy all the drugs he
needed. By now they were a ne
cessity. He took to injecting, them
into his veins with a hypodermic
needle. Without them he was too
sick to work. Then he stole jewelry
from his mother and her best
silver dishes.
She discovered finally what was
wrong ’litii her son; for weeks
she’d worried about the way he
stayed home in a kind of nervous
stupor. He told her the truth
it wasn’t easy and she financed
his train fare to the Federal Nar
cotics Hospital at Lexington, Ky.
For Senora Doe, finding that money
was not easy, either.
Now Juan is under treatment.
The doctors believe he’ll be as good
as new in a few more weeks. And
I’m inclined to ignore the testi
mony of all the officials, the spec
ialists and the physicians who told
about the evils of narcotics among
teen-agers. They all meant well,
but nothing they could say was as
impressive as the softly spoken
words of young Juan Doe. His evi
dence is expected to result in stiff
new penalties for those who lure
youngsters into the drug habit.
Juan’s mother at long last can
feel happY, a little happy, about
1 her son.
