Entry to Soviet Zones.

‘By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff ‘Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 6—Communist protests seemed inevitable today against selection of former President Herbert Hoover to Survey food conditions in Europe. Mr. Hoover's acceptance of President Truman's-invitation was announced here yesterday. The state department has not yet been advised of the areas Mr. Hoover desires to visit, Any re-

dominated nations would be expected to encounter some delay and perhaps resistance. Saou has not been heard from ‘the subject of Mr. Hoover if? the administration's. famine emergency policies. But tife American Communist press already has protested Hoover's selection - as honorary head of the advisory committee on famine relief. Assailed by Daily Worker On last Saturday the Daily Worker, Communist organ, said: “Mr. Hoover's record as food administrator after world war I is the basis for his appointment this week by Mr. Truman, Mr, Hoover in 1914-18 ‘used his power as food administrator to foster reactionary regimes throughout Europe. Food was with~ held from areas where the peoples threatened the old order.” American Communists apparently are fearful that Mr, Hoover's deep suspicion and dislike of communism will bear upon the struggle now underway on .the continent of Europe for political control. President Truman is being charged in the Communist press with abandoning the foreign’ policies of

an international program of hardfisted imperialism. These . complaints became loudest last autumn after Mr, Truman announced that the United States planned to keep its atomic bomb secrets. “Call it the big stick foreign policy or atomic diplomacy,” the Sunday Worker said in its edition of October 14, 1945. “It is the foreign policy of aggressive American imperialism. determined to dominate the world. It is essentially the foreign policy of Herbert Hoover and Thomas E. Dewey.” Mr. Hoover's denunciation of communism in recent years caused some observers here to speculate whether he would be permitted to visit So-viet-dominated areas of Europe. If he and his mission are barred, there probably would develop in the United States opposition to food relief for such areas. Last August 12 on his 71st birthday, Mr. Hoover spoke in Long Beach, Cal, calling on the United States to resist communism and collectivism of all brands. Leaves Within Week “Today communism or creeping socialism are sweeping over Europe,” he said. “They are beginning in Asia. The causes lie deep in the holocaust of misery from the war, from power politics, from the impulse for any .change from the bitter years which have passed and from the years of propaganda of a new utopia. “Is freedom to be defeated by slogans,” he asked, “or foreign propaganda or fifth columns?” The current Communist charge against Mr. Hoover is that he is playing “famine politics,” by-which apparently is meant that American

food might be® made available to|

starving Europeans in such manner as to discourage the rising tide of continental communism. Mr. Hoover is expected to leave within a week and be gone about 30 days. His job, it was explained, is to determnie whether European relief demands are exaggerated.

«YES, DEAR, THE RED CROSS IS ALL OVER THE WORLD!

So you see—she doesn't get an "Honorable Discharge" —like the Armed Forces she served. She has even a very great mission to accomplish in 1946.

She is like a great mother — helping to relieve human suffering— whatever it is, wherever it may be— in war, in sickness, in disaster— with.gracious benevolence binding the nations into an interhational society.

Ever since 1863 when the first ‘charter was written in Geneva— the Red Cross has gone on and on helping people.

(Whether disaster happens right here in Indianapolis . . + or any place if the world . . . the Red Cross seems Yo come from heaven . . . fully organized to care for the stricken.)

In these past war years we saw her attending our forces in battle— maintaining more than 740 Service Club overseas—acting intermediately between warring governments— ( bringing "home" to the wounded in hospitals—helping. refugees in devastated countries.

' 3 3 i = 2 of

The Red Cross is a helping hand to Veterans like your daddy—assisting them with the problems of civilian life—entertaining our occupation forces overseas—with a tremendous job before her in the Service hospitals.

The Red Cross has done so much for us— but she needs money to ready herself for more work. The Indianapolis chapter has been asked to raise $580,000 during the fund campaign—and we must help her by contributing our

dollars.
