Scientists Stress Need of U. S. Aid in Speeding Up Research

By The Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Mar, 17—Line of bad weather may be one of our defenses against enemy action a few years

from now.

: Scientists talk seriously about ability to create barrier of storms, ice, fog) hurricanes at will around country

in a few years more.

They're stressing importance of government action, now, to take control of weather-making experiments, to speed up research. Three Senate committees are hold-

.ing joint session on it.

Other side of the picture is that enemy research, if

it gets ahead, may start influencing our weather. U. 8. has been working at modern experimental meteorology

less than five years, hasn't been working hard. Whole planetary environment may be changed in another decade, some say.

Ear to Grass Roots

House opponents of {ower draft ag¢ and ualversal military training believe their chance of defeating the whole program will be better after Congressmen have talked to home folks

. [N

during ter vacation. Polls show public still supports principle of UMT. In any case there'll be a long sharp fight when measure is taken up on House floor, may be many amendments. Best sources guess bill will end up providing for 24 months service. Senate bill provides two years, House committee backs longer period. Pentagon officials originally asked for 27 months. They'll settle for 24.

Face: Long Battle

LOOK FOR admliilstration to ask major revision of defense production act sections on wage and price control, before present controls law expires, June 30. Long hard bate

is tabilizer Erie Johnston Foi with union 2, 5% that

rewrite job is needed He's J a derit Truman that price and’ wage controls can’t succeed unless important changes are made in basic law. Fight probably will center on restrictions written into the law to protect farmers. They keep stabilizers from holding prices. With food the biggest item in most family budgets, union leaders have a ready-made Teme inst wage con Kirmishes are already being fought. House Democrats are to. put some of the blame for rising costs on those who voted down control of commodity exchanges when bill was, up last summer. Note: Cotton bloc will lose its fight write into law a ban on control of raw product prices. Issue is too hot for bigcity Congressmen to trade on.

Awaits lke’'s Move

THOSE CLOSE to Gen. Dwight Eisenhower say he'll be satisfied if final form of resolution on troops to Europe accepts idea of American troops in a European army, indorses sending four more divisions to Europe, and sets no ceilings. First is most important, he thinks. He's willing to accept Smith amendment, requiring President to get congressional approval before anything further is done. His present plan is to set up a working organization, get ‘his first troops 'n the field. In about eight months— maybe sooner—he’ll come back to Washington with new recommendations, based on inter-

national situation at that time.

These would be basis of longrange policy. Count on one thing: Ike's savvy enough to know he's got to keep majority of both Houses of Congress on his side. He won’t hold out on members, despite last week’s leak of his testimony on atom bomb—which he didn’t like.

Due for Key Job

ADM. FORREST P. SHERMAN will succeed Gen. Omar Bradley as chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff when Bradley retires this summer.

And inside the Navy, fight to

succeed Sherman as chief of naval operations already is on. Adm, Arthur D. Radford, Pa-

cific Fleet commander would -

have the edge if he had not offended Navy Secretary Francis Matthews during B-36 hearings. Vice Adm. Arthur D. Struble, until recently commander of 7th Fleet, is in the running.

Note: When Bradley retires, he'll probably get no more rest than Marshall and Eisenhower. There's talk of shifting him over to White House to be President Truman’s chief of staff. Position's been vacant since Adm. William Leahy retired and Mr. Truman's felt the need of filling it. Bradley's a fellow Missourian, and the two like each other. Another possibility: That Bradley will be sent to Europe if Eisenhower gets into politics next year.

Dairy Crisis Seen

DAIRY PEOPLE predict shortages of dairy products— milk, butter, cheese. Beef &nd veal, prices are so high that many dairy farmers find it profitable to market milk cows for beef, use their milk to produce veal. Looks as if government will have to buy little surplus butter even at higher new price floor of 66 cents a

_ pound, up 6 cents.

tionalized—as possible crisis spot this spring. American hope that there'll be no war this year has been largely based on belief that Russia doesn’t have oil enough for a long war, She has a chance, now, to move in on Iranian supply. But remember this: It would take three years to build pipelines northward— if they could be built at all —experts say. Russia’s only other chance to use Iranian oil woull be to move it by tanker through Suez Canal.

Loan to Argentina

U. 8. HAS disbursed $40 million of the $125 million loan to Argentina which was granted last summer. Money all goes to pay off U. 8. business firms

_ to, whom "Argentine government, Argentine business firms,

owed debts. in January. Top government people are talking about suspending natural rubber stockpiling. Purpose would be to drive down prices. Government did that with tin and prices dropped 36 per cent (though they're back up now, even with U. 8. government out of the market), Note: Government people don’t agree with John L. Collyer, president of Goodrich, that no long-term contracts should be entered into at fixed prices. Collyer says rubber prices will tumble sharply if there’s no general war. Government rubber people doubt this, think long-term contracts may be necessary to insure adequate supplies.

Hoarding Hinted

IF YOUR radio-TV repairman says he can’t repair your set because tubes are scarce, ask him why. Radio and Television Manufacturers Association here reports 37 million receiving tubes were manufactured in January and eight million were earmarked for set replacements. This is twice the number set aside for replacements in January 1950. Indications are that someone is hoarding — and hoarders may be in for a trimming.

About Crackup of Police Empire

By FRANK N. WIDNER of The Times

Wire Services)

Serious trouble behind the Iron Curtain? Here's what refugees from behind that invisible barrier claim is going on and they maintain they have irrefutable evi-

dence to back it up:

ONE: Russia is experiencing unprecedented trouble in controlling the situation at home and in its satellites.

TWO: Flareups and purges in many spots, they state, indicate that the Kremlin is having a rougher road than at any time since 1947. . THREE: Those who have es- © caped the Iron Curtain countries are eternally gptimistic

they say there can be no.

doubt about it. , What does this mean to the Western World? ; It means, they contend, that Russia may hesitate to take on any new international adventures while it is having difficulties at home.

Want Aggressive War Further than that, they say, it means the West may find the Soviet world less united and more ready for a collapse it there is an all-out war. Most of the refugees, of course, want the West to wage aggressive warfare to liberate all those millions crying for freedom from Communist terrorism. Those best advised, however, see little possibility of the United States leading such a crusade. The purge going on in Czechoslovakia is shaking the government's foundations, it is pointed out, since even Deputy Security Minister Josef Pavel has been forced to resign. He . reportedly is under arrest with more than 250 other leaders, including former foreign minisfer Vladimir Clementis. Seek Underground Move In the Soviet Union, the “free Russian radio” is blaring out appeals for the formation of an underground movement to throw off the Stalin government. . This appeal also is going to the Ukraine where a- tough underground movement has never been stamped out. It appears to be gearing itself for new forms of resistance. Poles report general unrest and the outcropping of nationalist defiance of the Moscow masters. Poland has fought many countries to gain its independence, it is pointed out. They Want Liberation From the newest member, China, are many reports of guerrilla activities in the ‘south and discontent in the north. The unfortunate fact is that most of these countries look to the western world for outside help and that means more than moral support and radio broadcasts. They see little hope in this country’s. policy of ‘“containment” of the Russian empire. They do not want containment, they want liberation.

Gather Guerrilla Recruits Mr. Lebed, a nervous little balding man who shows gold when he smiles, says that the Ukrainian insurgent army — called the UPA—is gathering guerrilla recruits in the mountains and forests of the Ukraine despite persistent Moscow efforts to kill the movement. The UPA, says Mr. Lebed, has fololwers in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Czechoslovakia and White Russia which is called Byelorussia. When the time comes, he says, they will strike to help liberate these areas. But they must wait until Russia is faced with crisis.

Brisbane

Indonesia, according to a former United Nations official, is believed to be planning an armed invasion of Dutch New Guinea this year Having failed to get this remnant of Holland's former East Indies empire by negotiation, Indonesia is expected to deliberately provoke an “incident” and move in its troops, he reports. The ex-official is Sir Raphael Cilento. An Australian, he has just returned to Brisbane after spending six years with United Nations as director of its social activities division. Sir Raphael does not make these assertions himself. He says they were made to him by diplomats whose countries have diplomatic contact with the new Republic of Indonesia. Disguised as Settlers These diplomats, he reports, believe that Indonesian army reservists are even now being sent to Dutch New Guinea under the guise "of ordinary peaceful settlers. Their role, the diplomats are said to believe, will be to promote uprisings among the people to give Indonesia an excuse to send a “liberation army” into the territory. The possibility is also foreseen that Indonesia, which reportedly covets all of New Guinea, will make later attempts to move into two other territories on this , second largest island in the world. One teritory, Papua, is owned by Australia. The other, known as‘'New Guinea, is a trusteeship territory administered by Australia for United Nations.

° Buenos Aires President. Juan D. Peron's signature was all that was needed today for the government to take control of La Prensa, world’s largest Spanish-language newspaper. Both houses of the Peroncontrolled congress, called into special session by Peron, passed a resolution calling for a joint congressional committee to take over the independent daily, with full powers to investigate and direct its every activity. Adopted in the lower house by 85 votees to 14 and in the senate by 16 to 0, the bill calls for investigation not only of La Prensa but also of firms doing business with the newspaper. The future fate of the 81-year-old paper will depend on the committee’s recommendations, with expropriation a distinct possibility, :

Sen. Russell, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, also declared the United States must be ready to strike with all weapons including the atomic bomb—the first time Russia or a Communist satellite “moves against any free people.” That, he said, is the only way to avoid a ‘series of Koreas.” In his key chairmanship, Sen. Russell is in closest contact with top military leaders who themselves are concerned by mounting Soviet pressure on the Communist but anticominform Tito regime in Yugoslavia.

Persecution of Church The Pope is head of the congregation and must pass on all its decisions. The excommunication decree followed what one Vatican City official denounced as an “exasperating and continuous persecution against the Catholic Church” by the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia. Archbishop Beran lead the Church’s battle to protect its rights in Czechoslovakia against the encroaching Red regime until mid-June, 1949. After Communist hecklers broke up the mass at which he was presiding at St. Vitus Cathedral he was never again seen outside the archbishop's palace.

Berlin

The Russians clamped down on movement of western military trains across the: Soviet Zone today in a curb that threatened a new flare-up of the Berlin cold war. Soviet authorities refused transit of three western trains across the 110-mile trip of

said only 16 such trains—both passenger and freight—would be allowed to operate daily over the stretch. Since their unsuccessful blockade of Berlin, the Russians had permitted the western allies zo operate 19 trains daily on the Berlin run. Forced Off Train Passengers aboard the U. 8. Army train from Bremerhaven were forced to get off at the Helmstedt border point early

today. They transferred to the

104 Miles in 70 Minutes—

She Went That Way

By DAVID M. NICHOL HELMSTEDT, Germany (CDN)—A woman employee of the U. S. High Commission in Frankfurt has been responsible for a slowdown in traffic along one of the world’s most important high-

ways.

The woman drove her 1948 model American automobile between the U. S. Military Police checkpoints here and on the outskirts of western Berlin in one hour and 10 minutes. On my speedometer the distance registers ex-

actly 104 miles.

” LJ - AMERICAN and British MP's patrol the 104mile stretch regularly, but their function is mostly to aid and to protect vehicles in difficulty. Since it lies entirely within the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany the western allies have no authority to enforce traffic regulations. ; What they can, and now do is to welcome the speeding motorist with a ticket when he or she arrives too quickly at the other end. A flat order has been Issued now that anyone who makes the journey in less than two hours is “in for it.” The MP’s at least are courtbous. - They warn you as you enter the measured stretch.
