Show WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS U S registers gold cold war victory moscow talks headed for failure truman congress in budget fight by bill staff writer I 1 EDITORS S NOTE when opinions are expressed in fn these columns thet they are those of western newspaper union s news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper COLD WAR villian revealed at last something had happened that could and did make people un der stand what this russian situa tion was all about it had been pretty difficult going for the world public to perceive the basic truth when it was obscured by confusing circumstances like currency reform in berlin control of the german ruhr a maze of spies at home and political annelula anni hila lula tion of small european nations by russia what it all amounted to as far as most people were concerned was a mess of verbal pottage that they wouldn t trade for the comics page any day of the week then it happened mrs oksana Kosen kolenkina kina the russian school teacher jumped from a third story window in the soviet consulate in new york to achieve the liberty she so desperately sought mikhail the other rus sian school teacher was wanted by the russians but managed to retain his fredom refusing the soviet de mand that he return to russia he tossed this scallion for the comma i fists into the propaganda war I 1 won t return to death and finally in england olympic athletes from czechoslovakia and other soviet satellite states were steadfastly refusing to return to their home countries after their taste of a free land it all added up to the biggest break the western nations have had yet in their propaganda battle with the east this was simple basic under stan dable these people from the land of the soviets the school teach ers and athletes utterly despised the idea of returning they simply would not do it thus it was in the end a few ord nary persons who destroyed the elaborate fabrication which moscow had constructed to represent to the world the ideal way of life that existed in the soviet union one voice of america spokes spokesman man said this Is what we have been waiting for in our war of words this is something that can be easily understood by people all over the world the communists tried frantically to cover this breach in their curtain by calling it among other things an underground conspiracy in the U S to wreck any possibility for peace between the two nations but the villain s disguise was off now and everyone knew him try as they might the communists nev er would be able to explain why two obscure school teachers would seek their freedom so desperately nor why russia was so determined to get them back PARLEY failure from moscow came crushing news tor for all those hoping for peace the talks between the western de moc and russia were report ed to be on the brink of failure barring a last minute miracle in the conferences between the U S england france and russia the east west stalemate would continue along with ohp soviet blockade of berlin it was reported that the western powers were getting ready to stay in berlin under conditions of eco siege planning to maintain and enlarge the air lift to supply the 25 2 5 million persons in their sectors there was however one slim chance that utter failure could be avoided the three western ambas were scheduled for a final talk with premier stalin and it was a possibility that the negolia eions might be rescued but the odds against agreement stood at about five to one officials said it if the conference ended in the anticipated failure it was thought that the big four governments would try to conceal the extent of the fiasco from the public in order to avoid the even greater degenero de genera tion of east west relationships that undoubtedly would result if every one knew just how hopeless the case was however if the moscow talks did break up in fut lily it would not mean necessarily that all similar negotiations would be abandoned it would mean that any further ef of fort to reopen them would be de bayed until at least next spring possibly march after the election and inauguration BUDGET unbalanced will there be a surplus or deficit in the government governments s budget at the end of this fiscal year it was a question good for a lot of political haymaking and both president truman and his republic can opponents in congress went to work with a will mr truman a forecast was that the government would be 15 bil lion dollars in the red next june in his midyear mid year budget report he blamed the republicans ill timed five billion dollar tax cut for put ting the nation back in the bole hole stricken with horror GOP makers rapped back sharply from harboring a deficit they said the treasury will close its books next june with a surplus of be tween five and six billion dollars the president had juggled figures figure 3 for political campaign effect the republicans charged bitterly another of the weird distortions which are coming from the white house while its occupant is a nerv ous cand date for re election corn com dented sen styles bridges rep N H mr truman bad had said that federal expenditures this year would hit 42 billion dollars while republicans claim that actual expenses will to tal 38 billion they charged too that the president had figured the national income 3 4 billion dollars too low for the year just who was right in the matter if anyone was impossible to say the entire aff affair air had many of the characteristics of the kind of tern tem pest in a teapot that is a run of the mill event in an election year actually even if president tru man s estimate turns out to be the correct one the books still will show an adjusted surplus despite the 15 1 5 billion dollar operating deficit that is beca bec tise arase congress provided that three b ilion of the surplus last year should be shifted to this years year s accounts to help meet for eign aid costs war cure how can the world prevent wars use of psychiatry would be a big help according to dr john milne murray professor of 0 clinical apsy at boston university A psychiatrist he said is one who seeks the reason for the tail fail ure are of human relations in the indi vidual rather than in the mass but he asked what is war except a mass breakdown of made quate relations ending aplin up in a tre roen dous burst of self destruction take for instance the reactions of a child trying to adjust itself to a harsh environment under stress the child may revert to archaic forms of behavior and that is very similar to the impulse of destruct tion which on a worldwide world wide scale becomes war therefore knowledge of mass hu man reactions should be employed to abolish war dr murray con eluded actually it a all very simple if it people didn dian t act the way they do they wouldn t have to fight each other the trick is to make them understand that MASARYK Murdered 9 last march 10 jan masaryk

knew him but admired him because of his hopeless fight in behalf of czecho slovakia a national liberty have speculated long as to whether he committed suicide or was killed by the communists who

himself masaryk shot and billed killed possibly tour four men with the remaining men closing it t klinger a version went masaryk was forced closer and closer to the window then the men either threw him urn out the window or over whelmed by tear fear masaryk flung himself out in proof of his conviction klinger offered this evidence masaryk would never have corn suicide because he was afraid of physical pain also he eft left no note or letter a usual tice in suicides shots were heard in the build ng the night he died and four coffins were carried from the place that morning before the czech commis sion arrived to inspect masaryk s ody body indicating that four persons might have been killed during the night no BOXCARS worries despite all time record prodie tion and the bumper crops
