Disoppointing Outside Russia. May Day proved a great d.sappomtment to the Communists In Berlin, for Instance, where the Reds had hoped for strife, a half million people, drawn fiom both halves of the divided city, roared defiance to the Soviet Union and communism German and pledged allegiance to freedom At least 500 000 staged a spectacular demonstration in the British zone, dwarfing the parade only a few blocks away The Reds claimed that 800,000 parr police on ticipated, but the spot volunteered that the crowd was no more than 250,000. And, although the meetings were next door to each other, there was no outstanding violence A flurry and a few fist of fights was the extent of battle. Of the speakers, aging Mayor Ernest Reuter of Berlin was the most popular. The crowd applauded and cheered when he said, We Berliners are not afraid of anything In New York, the annual May Day parade was held to the tune of jeers from spectators and a tew fist fights. About 13,000 persons attended the rally, the smallest number m years.

It seemed that a battle was shaping up for the future.

As a result, the students staged demonstrations which at first were taken lightly, but soon gave evidence of brilliant organization and direction. The picture became more confused when the Communist Daily Worker praised the demonstrators and accused the New York police of invoking "terror methods against them. Said Federal Judge John C.

People's Police Two Communist storm troopers, who wandered into West Berlin, confirmed long - standing British and American suspicions that the Soviet Union was rearming East Germany. The two strays, armed to the teeth, pleaded guilty in a U. S. court of entering the section in y uniform. Weapons included army pistols, machine guns and assault rifles. The men said they were members of the Soviet zone "People's Police" but that it is in reality an army. Members of the organization get short training as policemen. including law courses, then go in for tanks, armored cars, light and heavy machine guns, grenades and assault rifles. On top of that, daily classes in under Compolitical education munist commissars are given the 36 units of 1,000 men each. As if in answer to Communist plan, the United States defense department answered the following day that 146,500 army troops are maintained by this country in west Germany. The department said nearly 0 men, more than 40 per cent of the countrys total all - service armed strength, are on duty outside the United States. Of the troops in Germany, an army spokesman said, 85.000 are concentrated in Berlin The defense department has long operated on the theory that Russia would like nothing better than a chance to take over Berlin. BELGIUM: WAR: Crisis Again For the third time within a year the Belgians will vote on the question of the exiled monarchs future. The new election was ordered after the collapse of a final effort to constitute a new coalition government of social Christians and liberals for the recall of King Leopold III. Observers predicted that the next election would be as indecisive as the recent referendum. Not Imminent The world was glad to hear the words of Chairmman Connally, of the senate foreign relations committee, that there seems to be no immediate danger of war with Russia. The Texan said in an interview: (1) Communist pressure would force the United States to abandon South Korea; (2) the Baltic plane incident has not hastened war between this country and Russia LABOR PARTY: Stands Test Bulletins on the physical condition of ailing members of the house of commons have become a part of British humor recently. Members of the labor party, however, are not finding them very e funny, especially since the victory on a minor issue. By Just one vote the government escaped an embarrassing defeat and a serious blow to its prestige. The issue, a token cut to the appropriation transportation amounting to only 1,000 pounds, tied 278 to 278. The chairman of the house, Laborite James Milner, cast the deciding vote on the govone-vot- ernments As a side. result of the narrow cape, English political observers said they expected Prime Minister Attlee to enforce even stronger dison attendance of Labor cipline members of the house.

In all, the outlook was good most observers agreed. 'Big Time' Some years ago, an Iowa garage-ma- n went bankrupt and decided to make a fresh start m another state. He scraped together a little cash, loaded his wife and kids into a beat-u- p Chevrolet and headed for California. Unfortunately, the jalopy broke down outside of Tucson and the cost of getting it fixed cleaned him out. To get a little eating money, he set out to canvass the garages in town for a job but quickly found the supply of local labor was greater than the demand Tucson, because of its climate, was filled with tuberculosis victims, a good many of whom were mechanics.

Guess you deserve bein on hand with the other boys at that circus when it gets here tomorrow The Ledbetters were poor as church mice, and Jackie hadn't dared even let himself think his pop would let him attend the circus. Consequently, his round blue eyes grew even rounder. Old Silas grinned and swallowed a lump in his throat. He dug down Into his pocket and brought out a shiny, new sil- r. ver Jackie carefully placed the in a pocket of his tattered overalls, pulled his straw hat well over his ruddy face, puckered up his lips and began to whistle. He whistled all that afternoon and was still whistling when he came in from the lower lot for supper. Once upstairs, Jackie carefully took off his shirt and then felt in the pocket of his overalls for the half dollar. Hed better sleep with it under his pillow, he reasoned, like hed read about folks doing. It was right then that Jackie's heart sank, right then that the world turned black and there was a horrible, terrifying, empty feeling in the pit of his stomach. The half dollar was gone! Jackie wanted to cry, but he was too much of a man for that. He searched through the other pocket very carefully, and then looked In his shoes, and under the half-dolla- half-doll- official to discuss a film contract with Danny.

Once out of sight of the house, the whistle died. The ache and misery in his heart just wouldnt let it go on. Still, he was going to see the parade anyway, and pop and mom would think he was going to the circus. It was comforting to know that pop and mom were happy. Jackie reached the lower lot and began to shake out the hay as pop had asked him to do. He couldn't loaf on the Job, he told himself, because If he did pop wouldnt think him very r. grateful for the Jackie turned the hay in one windrow and started on the next. But all the while his heart fairly sobbed with misery. And then abruptly that same heart almost ceased to beat. Jackie stared and stared at something round and shiny that lay in the stubbles under the forkful of hay he'd just picked up. After a long time, it seemed, his heart began to thump He felt goose pimples again. breaking out all over his body. He wanted to cry and shout and do all sorts of things. And then Jackie remembered that hed been working here on the afternoon before, and the must have slipped out of his pocket. He picked up the com, squeezed it lovingly and, holding it tightly in his clenched fist, went to shaking out the hay again.

Nelson PICTURE may or may not be A worth 10,000 words, as the Chinese proverb claims, but it certainly represents a pretty penny in costs, time, space and judgment, if published in a newspaper. In addition, it is seldom desirable to republish a picture, so all of the effort, time and money expended is for a single use. Editors appreciate the interest shown when readers suggest publication of pictures, and they comply as often as possible. But publishing a picture in a newspaper i not as easy as it may seem. Pictures Are News, Too - CORPORATION: out of your eye and show you the s EMPLOYMENT: Almost Peak The census bureau reported that employment was within a stones throw of 60 million Jobs, a pickup of 1,117.000 over the bureaus previous report. Included in the report was the good news that the 1950 number of unemployed sank to 3,515,000 a new low for the year Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer said the gains were probably greater than was generally anticipated " He cautioned, however, that the gains were at least partly seasonal. Commerce officials had hopes that the high employment rate might be maintained through the summer. The reason- factory production and sales both at the highest levels in more than a year, new orders placed with manufacturers reached a postwar peak, and "unfilled orders continue to accumulate. Farming was the only branch not reflecting increases, however. Despite the seasonal rise in jobs, the total number in farm work continued below the level a year ago by about 625,000. 600,-00- es- .

STUDENTS: experifor the The battle against gambling syndicates conducted by cities throughout the nation and many states for years, and recently picked up by the senate, seemed to have reached the right road and moved along rapidly. The senators, considering a proposal to bar the interstate transmission of information about gambling, hope to curb what some lawmakers crime syndisay is a nation-widcate founded on illegal bookmaking and slot machines. The senate subcommittee in its investigation gained two admissions from Frank Erickson, called one of the nation's biggest gamblers: 1. He broke the law in running up a $100,000 a year net income from taking bets which ranged from $20,000 to $40,000 a day. 2. His interstate operations would be stopped if the government prevented the transmission of gambling information across state lines. At one point in the investigtion Erickson admitted that he was often ashamed'' of his activities.

Unless a photograph is of someone or some event currently in the news, publication has little or no meaning. Assuming that a picture has new value, it then must be of such quality it will reproduce well m the paper. Many photographs which are entirely satisfactory for an album, cannot be reproduced distinctly enough to be recognizable in a newspaper. Publishing such pictures is a disappointing waste of space, effort and money. There are other factors, too, such, as permission of those in the picture for its publication, its new value or the amount of Interest in it among the papers readers, and whether there is time to make a cut. If not taken No Place specifically for for the paper, on its order, a Incongruity (Heraldry, 10,000 photograph may not be timely and therefore its use may seem incongruous. Even if timely but received too late-tget a cut made, it may not be practical to use it in a later issue because reader interest will have waned by then. For these and many other reasons, the editor is always the best judge of whether or not a picture can be or should be published. If the paper publishes other pictures, some not local in origin, in the very issue for which yours was rejected, it is well to remember that in addition to the above factors, there is still another. It is that some pictures, always of news value, are furnished to the paper m forms that make their use easy and inexpensive, because they are also supplied to many other papers.
