APPARENTLY no reparations will be * démanded for the fearful toll in life and property which South Korea has suffered from the invasion. And a cease-fire agreement will be no guarantee that the war will not be resumed at some later day. Indeed, the Communist radio has warned its own people that even if cease-fire negotiations are successful “it does not mean the complete solution of the Korean problem, resti‘tution of Formosa to (Red) China or a satisfactory agree"ment on the Japanese peace treaty and other Far Eastern ~ problems.” Because of these unsettled issues, Communist leaders are urging a “continuing defense effort.” Mr. Truman is right in his judgment that we must “keep our powder dry.” His policy of limited war will attain, at best, only an uneasy truce. New Communist adventures may be in prospect. Red Russia's own strength is unimpaired. Even the Korean problem remains high on the list of _ the Reds’ unsettled accounts. . = I ffoTe trouble™must be expected until” we are strong - enough to discourage new enemy attacks.
Be a Pal to a PAL
N THE last few months Indianapolis experienced a flareup of juvenile delinquency that attracted a great deal of attention. . Hi This is not a new probler. We have faced it for'a reat number of years and % so has every other sity in the “nation. , . burglary, and sex rings, vandalism, ete. But it brought up the old question . . . what are we and what can we do about it? The best answer we've heard was given to Indianapolis fn 1940. Under the guidance of Michael Morrissey, then chief of police, the Police Athletic League crganized the first PAL club. This unit was organized in Rhodius Park, which then was known as one of the hottest spots in town for juvenile delinquency. Lt Forrest Higgs, Juvenile Aid Department, was put in charge. Shortly after its founding date police noted a decrease in juvenile delinquency in that area. There are now nine PAL clubs in Indianapolis with a membership of over 4000. With the establishment of each new PAL club the story has been the same. A sharp decline in juvenile delinquency.
NEW YORK crry and other major cities have followed our lead and have experienced the same good results. The PAL clubs provide guided recreation for boys in other words they give the boys something constructive to do and so keep them out of trouble. ~ Today, tomorrow and Sunday the FAL clubs of Indianapolis will present a circus at Victory Field with 50 acts, all put on by well-known professional performers. The tickets don’t cost much. It's a good way to buy stock in some boy's future. All proceeds will go into a fund to buy needed equip: ment for the PAL clubs next year. Buy a ticket, go to the circus and enjoy yourself. By the way, if you want to take a pal to the circus, buy some extra tickets and put them in The Times box at the circus box office, Washington St. near Illinois or in the boxes at Victory Field. IN
Now, We Need Action WE like the way Police Chief O'Neal is talking. It's about time somebody banged the table a couple of times and said, “I'll do my damndest to put the lid on vice and gambling here, and keep it on.” We'll like it even better if those words are backed up with action . . . tough, uncompromising action. There is reason to believe the new chief will clamp the lid on and keep it there. As head of the detective squad he gained national recognition and will probably be guided by the same iron-clad principles. Cigar store joints all-over the city are open for business - again along with bookies and lotteries. There is ample opportunity for the new chief to prove the worth of his words. We think he will and we wish him luck.

WASHINGTON, July 6—Looks like I'm getting a soft tomato, smack in the face Probably serves me right, too. You may remember here a few days ago an interview with Austin Anson, the .ig tomato man from Texas, about the menace of the cel'o=-

Since then, as I say, the trade has been tossing tomatoes in my direction, along with a few unkind words for tomato man Anson Take Nat Pacini, who operates the Superette market in Houston, Tex., not far from Anson's tomato acres in the Rio Grande Valley. Nat reported that he was selling gorgeous tomatoes at two pounds for five cents, “And still making money,” he added. From Samuel 8, Leef of Leef-Schniebolk Co., New York, tomato merchants for the last 27 vears, 1 received a consignment of cellophane

About half of them Mr. Leef has '.ad to throw away. thus doubling the cost of ‘he *emainder. “Among us tomato repackers there are very few millionaires, if any.” Mr, Leef said. “Not even comfortably rich. On the other hand, you will find many millionaires and very rich among the tomato growers throughout this country, including Texas, who should be grateful to the tomato-repacking industry, which has
revolutionized the business and given the to-
mato growers one of the biggest money crops in the fruit and vegetable business.” If that doesn’t fix Mr. Anson, here's another communication from the Ft. Pitt Tomato Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., Stuart A. Cohen, general manager, who said it was true enough that Texas tomatoes can be shipped to’ Pennsylvania for 10 cents a pound. ’ But they get there green. And Cohen's four ripening rooms nicked him $100.000,
Worm, Blister Damage
THIS scientific ripening is what makes winter and spring tomatoes, taste so good, he added, while high-speed machine wrapping has permitted mass distribution at low prices. That's why the average man today eats 23 pounds of tomatoes a year. A quarter of a century ago he ate only 17 pounds. As for Mr. Anson's Texas tomatoes, it is This year they've shown a good deal of worm and blister damage. Mr. Cohen prefers tomatoes from Florida, Georgia. and South Carolina. So, said he, do other tomato packers. ; This is why Texas Toms (Cohen's word) are piled in the fields and Mr. Anson’s so angry his’ face is tomato-colored. Mr. Cohen added. And I'm sorry I ran out of space, because other tomato experts from other cities were waiting to be heard. But vou get the idea. The tomato business is a good deal more complicated than I thought.
WASHINGTON, July 6—0Organized labor's relations with Congress are heading into a “nasty month,” a union spokesman said.

Willkie OKs U. S. Government
WASHINGTON, July 6—Thret weeks as eounsel for the Senate Ethics and Morals Committee here ‘has convinced one Hoosier state legislator that the Washington government isn't
too bad. That was the viewpoint expressed by Php Willkie in a talk to the American Veterans

Hearings of the committee opened three weeks ago and the report is expected to be completed and Mr. Willkie back home by Aug. 1. “I want to say at the beginning that T believe that the United States has an honest government,” Mr. Willkie told him fellow veterans of World War II. “There is no basic corruption such as prevails in France or in some of the Latin Amerjean counties. Granting that it is somewhat expensive, I am sure that there are fewer guys go wrong working for the government: than in any other business or profession. Those Who do. however, create great publicity and that in turn creates the kind of cynicism about government that prevails today. It is such an accepted attitude of the public mind, that businessmen wanting to do business with Washington have come to believe that the first thing to do is to employ a fixer for 5 per cent. “That, of course, lends credence to the statement “of one of -the witnesses before our com-

‘License Trouble’
MR. EDITOR:
1 notice where there is quite a flareup over free hunting’ and fishing license for war veterans so will add my two cents worth.
I am one of those veterans and until last
‘year paid for my license.
But why pay for something that's of no use. The farmers all say no hunting, the speed boats have just about ruined fishing-in the lakes and very few wardens care whether the game laws are upheld or not. I have yet to meet a game warden in the woods or field and only two on the rivers even though I am out every week-end and every other time I can make it. So I say, boys, let's get some action both ways and the state can start collecting my two bucks.

All indications are that the House is not likely to be any more responsive than the Senate to the pleas of organized labor. : The House outlook, in fact, is for a bill even more repungnant to the labor lobbying forces. The House has pending, with strong support, a proposal from the House Labor Committee to reduce labor (as well as management) representation on the Wage Stabilization Board, and to remove from that body all authority in. settlement of labor-management disputes.

while chairman of the Senate Agricultural Comsmittee, “Present lobby registration laws should he extended to the departments and agencies and not just confined to Congress,” Mr, Willkie suggested. “Influence men dealing with the government should be required to file complete financial statements of income and expenditures. This also should apply to all the trade associations and other organizations. Everything they do should be a matter of public record. “Dockets should be kept by each department to show who called about what. Also the fee paid for such work should be recorded in them.” Mr. Willkie said he had not made up his own mind on the “two-year rule,” which prevents anyone from appearing before an agency until at least two years after leaving it. He cited the testimony of another Hoosier, Chairman Wayne Coy of the Federal Communications Commission, to the effect that danger lies in freezing employees on government jobs.
_Include TV: : © “I THINK one of the good ‘things about the government has been the constant flow of employees back into private industry and busi. ness,” Mr, Willkie said. ‘I do not think it is good, however, to move from business into government and back to business and all the time represent the business interest involved.” He also spoke highly of Sen.
