* I Andrei EDITORIALS Whot'll It Be? The Communist line, whose.twists and turns are \mot hard to see but whose meanings are sometimes \difficult to understand, may be taking on a new pink kink for all we know. . One thing certain is that Soviet Foreign Minister lithimkylndhilbouuinfluxumlhnu burning up the wires over what the answer will be # %..to U. S. Ambassador to the UN Henry Cabot Lodge's .plain talk about the Reds and Korea a few days ago. Ever since then the political and Security Commit- \tee of the UN has been marking time while waiting for Vishinsky's response. \ Lodge spelled out a 10-point indictment of the 'Beds waging war in Korea through their puppets. «-And, for good measure, he challenged them to come up with a point-by-point answer. , 'That's what Vishinsky and the Kremlin crowd po doubt have been trying to figure out . . . the ~ answers . . . since Lodge laid it on the line. What line will the Reds take? First, they may decide on an Iron Curtain toga for Mr. V., . Aaking the attitude that Lodge's charges were just a blow-off, and then let their propagandists abroad shrug it off. > Second, Vishinsky may rant and rave . . . scream- 'in his hot air screams of invective. Thirdfmlke an end-around play , , seizing upon, - the tenuous possibility of an Eisenhower - Stalin talk some time in the future to make it appear that Lodge isn't so important and that an in-the-future « meeting of the heads of state makes a reply un- necessary. Fourth, and unlikely show signs of compromise ~ 2. . along the lines of feigned interest in the Indian resolution on Korea which the Reds turned down last Fall And if the weekend news situation looks dull, the Reds may try a propaganda play by getting off their \statement\, if any, before the UN delegates report for work on Monday. + An \Alert\ to the CD We are recommending right here and now to Cyril C. Ryan, Nassau's Civil Defense director, and Joseph Huber, chief of the CD in Rockville Centre, «© that what their organization should do is to set up # reserve corps. The Army, the Air Force, the Navy and the Marines all have reserves, so why shouldn't CD have one, too? . . . a junior reserve. And we further recommend that they invite as ~ the first two charter members of this new organiza- tion Kenny Heaphy, 7, and his sister, Virginia, 8, lo! 106 Rodney Place, Rockville Centre. These two young patriots and forward - looking -cltizens tried to join our CD forces, but were turned ®®=@own and told that they would have to wait until they are 13 years old. .. Now if that isn't a situation which calls for the establishment of a reserve corps, we never saw one! CD Chief Huber said he hated to have to deny them, and that he wished more adults showed the spirit of Kenny and Virginia. We can understand his feelings, but we think he and Ryan are missing an opportunity if they do not form a reserve of all =*¥Re Kennys and Virginias in Nassau and delegate to them the task of getting all their older relatives to join CD. We all know the powers of persuasion of ? and 8-year-old children and right up through We say that nobody is too little or too young to help great causes. How about the little Dutch - kid who stuck his finger in the dike? * «0% Farewell . . . and Hello! It is in a bit kindlier tone that we bid February goodbye this time. l A frigid month, by reputation, it has shown this year that its heart is not a chunk of ice nor its veins filled with ice water. And in its departure it is not just making amends for a frowning entry, because it has been a warm = hearted month for the second one of the year all the way along. While it showed a disposition to turn the cold shoulder on one or two occasions, its smiling days . .. particularly those of the past fort- night . . . have more than compensated for the slight gruffness. When it put its foot on our doorstep 28 days ago, ' we greeted February resignedly and urged that it « follow January's moderate behaviour. We now can ~ % > « = = = > say that it has been even more mild-mannered than its predecessor. The crocuses are a finer tribute to February than editorial encomiums. And now comes March! To it we cite the con- duct of the two travelers who have just passed through our 1953 calendar, A blustery month though March is known to be, we would remind this new- comer that the Ides, too, can be ideal and that we're expecting the breath of Spring! of the C Inside Washington Trouble for the Treasury Chief By ROBERT 8. ALLEN WASHINGTON - It looks like Treasury Secretary George Hum- phrey may run ito some squalls on his widely-publicizeq plan to reorganize the huge national debt so as to put the bulk of it gn a Jong-term basis. , A group of senmlors is secretly considering a militant challenge of the new Treasury chief's pro- gram. Most of these senators are Democrats, but there are a few others - Senators William Lan- ger (R., N.D.J, chairman of the Judiciary Committee; Charles Tobey (R.,N.H.), chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee, and Wayne Morse, Oregon In- dependent. Morse, in fact, was the first to open fire on the national debt Issue. * He brought up the matter at a meeting of the group, which gets together several times a month, usually at lunch, to exchange views and formulate tactics. Among those present at this ses- sion were Senators John Spark man (D., Ala.), 'Tom Hennings (D., Mo.), Russell Long (D., La.), and Harley Kilgore and Matt Neely (D., W.Va). \I think Ws time we gave serious thought to the Adminis- tration's plans to refinance the national debt,\ said Morse, ''That is getting a lot of favorable publicity, but there are a num- ber of aspects to it that are very carefully not being mentioned. Buch as the fact that this scheme will add hundreds of millions of dollars to the cost of the debt. That seems to me a very strange beginning for an Arministration that promised to economize and to balance the budget,\ \How much has been refinanc ed so far?\ asked Senator Hub- ert Humphrey (D., Minn.\ Around $9,000,000,000, replied Morse. \And the Interest rate cent to 2}, an d2k per cent has been pushed up from 114 per Actually what that means is add- Ing a new concealed burden on the little people, because it's the grest mass of small tavpayers who carry the load of the nation- al debt.\ ''What bas been the added cost to taxpayers so far?\ asked Sen- ator Herbert Lehman (D.,N.Y.). ''The best information I have been able to go,\ said Morse. \is that the minimum cost will be $33,750,000 and could tun as high as $87,280,000. And that's only the beginning. But from these figures you can well pic- ture what the eventual cost will be If there is a comparable in- crease in the Interes! rate on the bulk of the national debt. Tt will run into hundred» of millions of dollars.\ \Wayne is right,\ declared Senator Lister Hill (D., Ala.). 'This is an extremely serious matter and we abouldn'} let them get away with it. We ought to fight it with everything we've got.\ «0% STILL ABPIRING - Newbold Mortis, who made sensational headlines last spring as the shost lived scandal clean-upper of the Truman Administration, is think- Ing of running for Mayor of New York again, Morria is nominal a Republican, but has run as an Independent. If he dots etter the race this year, % will be his third tive Pat Millings (R., Calif.) has told Attorney Genera) Brownell that & very critical Judicial situa- tion exists in San Francisco due to the virtually complete bog: down of the U.8. Attorney's of- fice there. Awaiting trial are 1,800 civil and 37 criminal cases. Hillings urged the immediate re- placement of bumbling Prosecu- tor Chauncey Tramutolo. Sena- tor William Knowland (R., Calif.) bas final say on who gets the job . . President Eisen- hower has told Republican con- gressional leaders be has def- Initely decided against shifting hospitals run by the Veterans Administration to the proposed Department of Public Welfare. This transfer was recommended by the Hoover Commission on Government Reorganization, but the President has turned thumbs down on it. «00% HOT CARS - Autos are one Item that will not be decontrolled. The White House is very firm about that. Taking motor cars out from un der the price regulations has been repeatedly recommended by Corftrol Administrator Joseph FPrechill. In the last few weeks, virtually every ceiling - lifting Lt he has sent to the White has included autos. But al- ways this Item has been care = fully blue - penciled. This has been done despite two OPS arguments; (1) 'That decon- trol would not increase the price of cars and (2) it would probably induce cuts in the price of used cars because dealers are claim- ing they have to hold to OPS lev- els. White House assistant Sher- man Adams made an mferesting reply when asked by a congres- sional leader why auto cellings mre being retained. \We've had enough embatras' sing publicity about General Mo- tors without encouraging any more.\ grinned Adams. Note: Labor Secretary Durkin has told President Eisenhower that employment this month probably set an all - time Feb- ruary record. 'The figures are still Incomplete, but in January employment in the motor capital reached the record - breaking high of 940,000. The previous top was 936,000 in March 1981, which exceeded the World Wat II record of 827,000 in January 1044. A FIRST SHOT - The nation wide clean - out of U.8. attorneys has started. The names of the first three new appointees are on the desk of President Eisenhower. They were recommended by Attorney General Herbert Brownell, with the approval of the senators from the states Involved. The inside word from the Justice Depart = ment is that these states are New York and California, and that the first two Pederal prosecutors that will get the ax will be My- les J, Lane, in Manhattan, and Chauncey ~Tramutolo, in San Francisco. «00% THE SECRET Defense Secretary Charles Wilson is stlll highly sensitive about his pain- ful experience in getting con- firmed by the Senate. The former General Motors head was amazed when one of his assistants won unchallenged approval the same day his nafne was sent to the Senate, He is Frank C. Nash, hold-over from the Truman Administration who was reappointed because of bis wide experience in Pentagon af- fairs. Within a few hours after Nash's &bpointment was de- livered to the Senate, he was con- firmed without a word of dissent. 'Wow did you do it?\ ex claimed Wilson when Nash re- ported the news \In what way?\ asked Nash. \In getting confirmed by the Benate so fast,\ explained Wil- son. 'What have you got that I haven't got?\ \Poverty . Mr. - Secretary,\ grinned Nash. \Poverty you see, I've been in government most of my career.\ Looking Back 25 YEARS AGO Two firemen of the Freeport Fire Department were injured in a blaze that gutted the attic and carried away the roof of the Bay View Hotel, one of Freeport's old- est landmarks, that had stood for nearly balf a cpntury on North Main Street, 'The fire caused about $10,000 fire and wat- er damage, 10 YEARS AGO Preeport was to mugment its non siren all - clear signals, under a new air raid warning system, the Dashing of red call lights of the police box system.

Days. An Advisor On Policy Put on Pan By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY It used to be that the Btate De- partment was the most difficult ugency government to get P\ Wducstion, family, even private weans were essential. Apparently, in the democracy of the New Deal, graduated from the Newark (N.J.) Academy and spent two years (1834 to 1996) at Yale. He then went to work for the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, a pub. lic and mot staying there Jong, he worked on Newark news- paper. From there he moved to the OWI and the State Depart- ment where his rise was swift. there is no evidence of t , he is one of the very top men in our Administration. This is the exact wording of his import\ ance: ''The chairman (Senator McCar- thy): Actually are you what would be known as the top man in so far as policy for the information pro- gram 1s concerned? \ Mr. Connor: \'Yes sir.\ Now this country is engaged in a cold and hot war with Boviet Rus- sia-cold in Europe, hot in Korea. The business of the information service and the Voice of America is to set off the United States fa- vormbly and to oppose Commu- nism, | Marxism, | Stalinism, | and the line pursued by Soviet Russia. This involves not only a technical knowledge of psychological war- fare but a profound knowledge of what the Russians are telling the world and what the meaning of Communism is, perticularly con- trasting the doctrines of Mar- Lenin-Btalin, which influence about 800,000,000 people, with the phil- osophy of Americanism, which is combatting the Russian influence with the blood of American sons and the earnings of American tax- payers. Does W. Bradley rs, who is in charge of policy, know any- thing about all this? Mark his words: ''The chairman; Mr. Connors, how much of an authority aze you on the Communist movement? \Mr. Connors: I am not. \The chairman: You are not an authority. Have you ever rea d any of the works of Marx or Lenin, Engels? \Mr. Connors: No, sir. \The chairman; Any of the works of Stalin? \Mr. Connors: No, sir. \'The chairman: Have you ever studied & history of the Communist movement, their methods of opera- tion? \Mr. Connors: I have never stud- led them. 'The chairman: In other words, as far as you ate concerned, your mind is pretty much a blank as far as the workings of the Commu- mist Party is concerned?\ In a word, here is a man who has personally witnessed the Commu- mist Revolution in China, who has advised General George Mar- shall when the latter was negotia- ting a tyice between Chinese Communists and Chinese National- ists, who controls the American Information services on the sub- ject and yet who has adm%tedly mever shown sufficient curiosity to find out what it is all about. Connor's defense is that he de- . pends \on research and intelli- gence. \ , . . Just forgetting for the time being your name is Brad Connors and forget for the time being you are the policy director, would you say It is wise to have as policy director a man who says, 'I have never studied the works on any of the authorities of Commu- nism, I have never studied the Communist movement, I have nev» er studied to determine how they work, how they Infiltrale'?

Point of View Levittown Fracas: A Reader Comments Isn't it about time that the local police showed a little toler- ance for small Infractions?

ALBANS RESIDENT w 00+ PPR . . a GOP Woman Voter's Viewpoint As a member of the League of Women Voters and a Republican, I was very much interested in the newspaper reports of the letter of William D, Melsser Jr., Republican Commissioner of Elections, 'to the County Demo- cratic Leader, on the subject of Permanent Personal Registra- tion. The argument that citizens can demonstrate their patriotism by willingly sanding in lineto regis- ter every year, seems to me com- pletely unconvincing. If it is in- deed a patriotic exercise, why confine it those citizens who live in our corporated vilages, and deny it to more than half ofthe residents of Nassau who live in our unincorporated ares, In America we defmonstrate our patriotism not by enduring in- conveniences, but by taking the trouble to correct them. I would be interesting to know how Mieisser arrived at cost figures, The experience of other states is that PPR is more economical than any periodic sys- tem. If Meisser is right, then the businessmen. of New York State must be wrong, for PPR would set up the compact, ef- ficient record system used in modern business offices, in place of the cumbersome ledger sys tem in vogue in the Dickens' era. The bill which Melsser criticizes was drawn up withexpert legal advice under the sponsorship of t w o outstanding Republican legislators. If there are any flaws in the bill they could be corrected by amendment. __,. T am glad to see that Mr. Mels- ger says that the Republican Party in Nassau is in favor of PPR if it is properfy drawn. It that is so, the party should urge ~ our legisiators in Albany, who all say they are not against PPR in principle, to bring dut and pass a good bill at this session. The people of Nassau want it.

The Meredith Victory was a cargo vessel with accommoda- tions for the crew and 12 passen- gers. The captain, despite the limited capacity, offered to take on as many civilians a he could. + A mad scramble followed and eventually several thousand ref- ugees from the advancing Com- munist forces were Jammed on board. Nearly all were farced to stand the entire three days at sea with lttle more than a foot Room and Board or two-of room. People will undergo almost un- bearable hardships to regain their freedom, as this remarkable voyage proves. But how much more reasonable it wouldbe for us to work for perce and the preservation of freedom before we have lost either. If we work hard enough, we can spare our country the agon- les of war, deportations and cruelties, \It thou alsb hadst known, the and that in this thy day, things that are % thy peace.\ (Luke 19:42) Make us grateful 0 God, for the blessings we possess so that we shall never risk losing them.
