And it said that another $25 million was available, on a state-matching basis, in a previous appropriation. And it set up $41% million for handouts to states and municipalities to help them install alarms, communications and rescue services. : What other job is therc for civil defense to do? - Most of the big cut made in Mr. Caldwell's request was in one item. He asked $250 million for bomb shelters. The committee took it all out. It said there was no need for this program and no adequate plan for carrying it out. . . v n rr 4 IT WOULD take many times $250 million to build enough bomb shelters for the whole country. It would také more money than even the federal government can spend. It would take millions of tons of scarce materials badly needed for military purposes. The job could not be done in years of feverish construction. : Mr. Caldwell says most of the members of Congress “simply don't know what can happen.” : Well, they know what can happen if our military fortes aren't big enough to fend off a Russian attack. And they know that attack caggbe stopped, not by building bomb shelters, but by b an impregnable military might.

EUROPE e +-2- By William Phillip Simms Swiss Are Ready for Anything

BERNE, Aug. 30—Tiny Switzerland is stronger today than the rest of Atlantic Pact Europe combined. Switzerland has only 4,740,000 inhabitants. That's half as many as London and less than Paris. pea ; Yet she

Eilsenhower can hope for at the beginning of 1852 is an army of 20 divisions (about 300,000 men) of which six" divisions will be American. Britain, with 30 million people, will provide only four divisions (80.000) ‘and France, with 43 million will put up five (75.000). Even by 1953 Gen, Eisenhower is counting on a niggardly 40 divisions. And statesmen and soldiers everywhere agree that the next 12 months may be the sink or swim period for the free world. The Swiss have always been ready to atand up for their rights against any odds. As far back as the 14th Century, with hardly half a million population, they could put 100,000 troops in the field—more than the German Emperor or the King of France. In World War II, they mobilized 800,000 men

If Western Europe could do just one quarter :

as well as Switzerland, Gen. Eisenhower would soon have 13 million men behind him. Of course, the case of Switzerland is not identical with that of Western Europe as a whole, She suffered considerably less than France, Britain and the rest during the two great wars. She remained neutral. Today she is one of the richest countries in the world.

BUT THERE also is a great difference between the 14 Western European divisions which seem to be the best that can bé expected by 1052. and the 53 divisions which Switzerland alone could put an foot right now if she had to. And there also seems to be considerable difference between Switzerland's will to resist attack than that of Western Europe. Here there is no talk of welcoming the Red Army at the frontier. By the end of this vear, Switzerland's intantry will be almost entirely motorized. Without fanfare, she has about completed the re-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30— Alfred Kohlberg, New York importer sometimes referred to as head of the so-called Nationalfat “China lobby,’ came to Washington the other day to deny again that he was any such thing. Then, in one of the freest of free-style press conferences, he proceeded to outMeCarthy Wisconsin's own Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy. A round, bald little man with snapping brown eyes, .Mr. Kohlberg stood In his shirtsieaves before the dummy tireplace of his hotel suite sitting room and explained everything about communism. He had all the answers. A room full of Washington newspaper and radio guys and gals who may have thought they had seen and heard everything, sat around and listened in amasgement.

JAPAN . . . By Ludwell Denny Nehru's Doublecross Already

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—Evil #ffects of Indian Premier Nehru's Attemptéd sabotage of the Japanese treaty are showing even before the San Francisco conference. Countries already influenced in one way or another include: Burma, Indonesia, the Philip. pines and Japan. y The Russian delegation to the conference, which has arrived in this country one week early for some undisclosed reason, will now be able to cloak its own aggressive purposes in the allegedly “anti - imperalist” words of Nehru as “the voice of Asia.” e effect in » Burma has been di- "W% rect and immediate. Like India, the Burma government says it will not sign the treaty drafted by the Allies. The reason given is different. Burma wants reparations, which are not provided by the treaty and which are disavowed by India. But the end result of refusing to sign is the same. - Indonesia, which was at first wobbly, recently decided to sign. She is now back on the fence as a result of Nehru's example. A large parliamentary majority is reported opposed to the Allied draft. An Indonesian delegation probably will show up at San Francisco on Sept. 4, but it may try to cause trouble when it gets there. , . Philippine opposition to the treaty is at the opposite extreme from that of Nehru. He thinks it is too harsh, while the Filipinos are certain

it 1s far too soft. Manila was so indignant over the draft's failure to provide reparations and to keep Japan disarmed that mobs last month burned the effigy of John Foster Dulles, the treaty’s author. Philippine public opinion, however, was appeased by two American steps. The treaty was modified to recognize reparations in principle at least, and the United Btates promised to sign A separate defense pact with the Philippines at Ban Francisco This compromise was acceptable to President Quirino, Since Nehru’s action, however, Mr. Quirino is intimating that the Filipino delegation will

NEHRU'S effect on Japan is probably the most vicious of all ih the long run. His chief Agent in Tokyo, K. K.
