Red Herrings and Now Red Faces J year President Truman pooh-poohed the congressional spy investigation as a “red herring” designed to divert attention from the Shorsomings of the Republican 80th Congress. Atty. Gen. Tom C. Clark was a supporter of the redherring thesis. Now a spy suspect has been found in the t of Justice itself and, of all Plages, in its foreign

So the red herring of 1048 has reddened faces in 1949, May we now expect a thorough-going loyalty investi. gation that will rid the government service of all persons | of questionable loyalty and discretion? . If so, can the naive Mr. Clark be depended on to do the | ~ job? ‘We wonder. .In any event it will be well for the House - Committee on Un-American Activities to ride herd on him until we can be sure.

he s the United Nations raises another issue. 11 Kitt ot and its satellites have 102 persons on the hol Nations payroll, in New York City and at nearby Lake Success. This poses a serious problem which neither the State Department nor the United Nations secretariat can ignore, now that- one of the group is held on suspicion of espionage. :

; COMMUNIST leaders. in.the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Norway, Austria, Canada, Mexico and the Philippines have joined in the declaration that, in a war between the Soviet Union and théir own countries, they would support the Soviet Union. That is an ominous demonstration of the amazing soljdarity and discipline of the world-wide Red conspiracy which is challenging democracy and individual freedom. It cannot be laughed off or met by half-measures. : All Communists in this country obviously must be con sidered agents of the Soviet Union. Agents of foreign powers are required by law to register with our government. That law should be made applicable to every member of the so-called Omiwunist Party. But that is not enough. Communists in this country now stand revealed by their own as potential traitors. Their chairman, William Z. , and their general secretary, "Eugene | Dennis, proclaim that ‘Communists here would join with Communists in other parts of the world to defeat American aims in a war with Russia. Any person remaining a member of the Communist organization under these circumstances:forfeits all claim to any position where the interests of the United States ~ ‘could be betrayed. Congtess: Should meet this issue without. delay.

TREATMENT of the problem must include the Com__munist underground—the so-called fellow travelers, who are in a better position to do real damage | than the known party members, Such elements have influenced American Yip policy in ‘the past. They must not be permitted to do so in the future. It will avail little to evict the potential spies and saboteurs from factories, shipyards and power plants if their better-placed brethren enjoy immunity in the Pentagon or the Justice, Commerce and State Departments. Legislation can't.solve this problem unless all the heads of government Aepatiments can be convinced that all Soviet.

Before -the Miami and Delaware Indians oecupled Indiana territory, in the early eighteenth century; the Piankashaw Indians resided about . one hundred and sixty miles up the Wabash River, The Vermillion Indians lived on the

Plankashaws, and the Wyahtinaw Indians were encamped thirty miles. above the Vermillions. The Long-isle, or Isle River Indians, lived on Isle or White River, The Kick&poos were located on a branch of the Maumee River above the Long-isle Indians. The Potawatomis occupied a section of northern Indiana. The Miami Indians filtered into northeastern Indiana from the Ohio country. They were soon recognized as the most powerful nation in the territories of Ohio and Indiana. White men looked upon this land as belonging to the Miamis. They were well-disciplined Algonquins. The Miami men were of medium height. Their faces were round rather than oblong. They were pleasant, agreeable, liked racing, and were very fast runners. prided themselves on looking. prosperous and well-dfessed in their deer skins. The Delaware Indians, once the most power= ful confederacy of the Algonquin stock, began their westward retreat and settled in Ohio and Indiana about the middle of the eighteenth century, The Delawares held their regions by permission of the Miamis, - All Algonquin peo-

referred to them as grandfather, The -Delawares called themselves Lénilenape which meant real men. And they were truly of Indiana's illustrious great. Before the

AVIATION ©.

‘WASHINGTON, Mar. 8—In the long days - and nights of waiting and boredom, in the tense

in the last war thought about what they wanted to'do when they got back home. Many dreamed about starting a little business that might become a good-sized business. They were tired of being ordered. around, they wanted to be their own boss. - One who came back with that dream was Lewis C. Burwell Jr. of Charlotte, N. C. He had a very definite idea of the business he wanted to start. " - Having been a combat pilot ‘for most of the ‘war — 10 Sombat citations and three distinguished e wanted to stay in aviation. His idea was for an airline that would take tourists on all-expense excursion

Nir. Burwell formed Resort Airlines. Stock was sold, most of it to veterans, some of it to wealthy men who thought well of the proposal. _ Working intensively, the young promoter got

mended a certificate of public convenience and necessity for Resort, Exceptions were filed, including the protests of the big scheduled air-, lines. Their spokesmen argued that Resort was taking business they would otherwise have. Mr. Burwell’s reply is that most of his “passengers are new to travel and they would not be likely to make their own reservations and take themselves from place to place. Having once made an all-expense, conducted tour, however, they are far more liable to go agai.

‘No Accidents

IN SPITE of the” constant struggle with government red tape, Mr. Burwell could point " to the fact his line had flown 25,000,000 pas-senger-miles without an accident of any- sort. He could also point out that Resort had voluntarily adopted the same safety standards as the big lines, and in some instances the requirements were higher, If ever there was an example of small business, of enterprise, of ingenuity, of hard work, this seems to me to be it. Yet now Resort, along with all other unscheduled lines—most . of them operated. by veterans—are whut down by a CAB order. The other day the CAB awarded the scheduled lines an additional $8,000,000 in subsidy. The unscheduled lines got no subsidy and have never asked for one, The big lines claim, of course, that the little fellows want to skim off the cream and take ~wo responsibility for regularly operated routes. -~¥t-is-a-highly significant fact that not one new, domestic trunk line carrier has been licensed since Congress passed ABs. Air. Regulation Act in 1938.

Cut Down Competition THE DRIVE, originating with the big lines is to cut down competition. The small lines are _ trying to present their case to the government and the public, but they are handicapped by lack. of funds. “Resort, unlike most unscheduled lines which have no foreign ports of call, has one final appeal. “That is to the White House.

‘Ten-Cent Fare Is Enough’

By Sanford Ramsey; 444-N. Senate Ave,

I want to express my opposition to the fare increase requested by the Indianapolis Railways.

I checked on some figures in the “Interesting

Facts” leaflet put out by the company and distributed in the transit vehicles. .. The passenger revenue per vehicle during 1948 for the Indianapolis railways was $17,100 which is 36 per cent higher than the $12,600 average annual rate for transit vehicles in all the nation’s largest cities. Under these circumstances I feel that is would be unreasonable to grant a rate ine

. crease. A ten cent fare is more than enough

for them to make a profit. ‘Would they gouge the public? J > % @

WHENEVER things get rough at the United Nations and it looks as if the Reds might have to say yes to something, Vishinsky goes to work. He insults people from script or off the. cuff and he plays no favorites. Democrats or Republicans—they're all alike to Vishinsky. He leads with the old stand-by about warmongering ang goes on from there. By the time he gets around to ‘saying his adversary even wears awful neckties,
