Maw's ''Economy" Slash Governor Herbert B. Maw's unjust and high-handed , action in chopping $140,000 from the appropriations voted by the state legislature for the Utah State Hospital at Provo and the state training school at Amer ican Fork, is an unfortunate blow against more than 2,000 helpless, unfortunate and handicapped individuals who happen to be the wards of the state. Many of the pa tients at these public institutions, already the victims of the seamy side of society, will now be forced to make additional sacrifices sacri-fices as a result of the governor's consuming desire to get revenge on his personal enemies in the legislature. Governor Maw, in announcing his $2,-000,000 $2,-000,000 cut more than a week ago, explained that such retrenchment would be necessary "to prevent a general fund deficit. What the governor is really doing is creating for himself a $2,000,000 contingent ""i a a m a. . lund wnicn ne mows tne Doara oi examiners cannot touch. He knows that if he gets away with this political football touchdown, after running through the whole legislative line, he will be able to have every department and every institution" in the state, begging for funds on which to carry on their work, and virtually "eating out of his hand." The fact of the matter is that the gov ernor can use all welfare funds up to $6,- 000,000 at his own disposal. It is also a fact that it was determined by members of the 1945 legislature that approximately ap-proximately $2,000,000 would accrue to the general fund from sources which fill the wel fare department fund, as a slop-over. Inasmuch as the governor was deprived by the legislature of his contingent fund of $800,000, he has apparently lopped $2,000,- 000 from the appropriations made by the legislature in an attempt to regain control of those institutions which had been taken care of in the legislative appropriations out of the general fund. The governor apparently is apprehen give lest any revenues should slop over into the general fund, which they will after 'they reach the $6,000,000 mark. If there were no political aspects involved in-volved in the $2,000,000 slash, we could probably agree with the? governor that it's a good thing to balance the budget. But in the case of the hospital and the training school, should we balance it with the woes and misery of helpless human beings be-ings ? If the state of Utah can't supply them with proper physical and medical care, un necessary suffering and premature death will result. Before the legislature at its recent ses sion appropriated $934,000 for the state hospital's bi&nial operations, members of the committee went over that institution's needs with a fine-tooth comb and found that the approved figure was the absolute bed rock minimum that the hospital could be expected to get along on. Dr. Owen P. Hen inger, superintendent of the hospital, actually actual-ly made a request for $1,167,000 for the two-year peri jd. Dr. Heninger has already publicly stated since the governor announced his $94,000 cut in the hospital appropriation that "if the institution does not receive more than $840,000 for the next biennium, the care and treatment we will be able to give the patients . will be dangerously-lowered. And bear in mind that we are already far below the minimum standards of care and treatment for mental patients, set up by the American Psychiatric association. The governor should realize that the patient load is increasing steadily with 1150 patients, the highest number in its history, receiving care at the present time. One is led to wonder if the governor has ever read the law which sets up the state hospital, which requires that "patients of the hospital should be given proper attend ants, medical treatment, seclusion, rest, re straint. amusement, occupation and support, conducive to their physical and mental well- being. The hospital staff, consisting of professional pro-fessional workers conversant' with the needs of the institution from close contact, in col laboration with the legislators, found that the hospital could not be operated on less than $934,000 after a thorough study Yet, the governor sets himself up as a superior authority against these rep resentatives of the people with his arbitrary demand for a blanket reduction in the appropriations ap-propriations of the two state institutions in Utah county. In the last analysis, it's up to the fam ilies who have loved ones at the two institutions insti-tutions to place their protests right on the governor's own doorstep. It's his baby!

The Washington Merry-Go-Roiind A Daily Picture of What s gj l5St Going On in National Affairs ? t iVi a a V SAN FRANCISCO When the American army slvept-.into Germany it was fortunate enough to capture nan interesting figure in Dr. H. J. Caesar, thr counterpart of our alien property custodian who had charge of all American banks and alien property seized in France. Dr. Caesar was cross-examined at length. From him came highly enlightening and hitherto secret information about the manner in which certain cer-tain British and American branch banks in Paris collaborated with the Germans after the fall of France. His- testimony highlights the main issue underlying the problem of future peace namely name-ly whether, despite -all the plans worked out at San Francisco, certain Allied business firms to gether with their friends in the state department, depart-ment, the army- and the British foreign office are going to maneuver behind the scenes to strengthen Germany once again as a bulwark against Russia. This lareelv lies at the root of the ticklish Polish question. Russia wants a Poland which will cooperate with her and be a buffer against another German invasion. If there were no fear of future Germany, there might be less insistence insist-ence on a puppet Poland. Ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes described this graphically graph-ically to senators upon his return from Yalta. Telling how Stalin got excited on the question of Poland. Byrnes quoted Stalin as saying: "You speak of English honor, Mr. Prime Minister, and your desire to protect the safety of Russia. If that happens again will the English armies come to our defense.?" Before Poland was invaded last time it will be remembered that British business interests were quite willing, even apparently anxious, to have the Sudetenland taken away from Czechoslovakia. Czechos-lovakia. President Benes complained bitterly re garding Lord Runciman's attitude on this but the British appeasers' policy was to strengthen Germany Ger-many at the expense of Russia's friend and buffer ally, Czechoslovakia. Finally, it was American and British banks which poured money into Germany for years before be-fore the war and then maneuvered to have repar ations of the war debts cancelled in order to protect their own loans. The Chase National bank was one of the worst offenders. That is why a lot of people in Washington, Moscow and the world at large are watching to see whether history will repeat. That is why the evidence unearthed from the secret files of German Alien Property Custodian Cus-todian Caesar is so significant. It indicates that even during the present war, the Paris branches of Chase and J. P. Morgan were quite willing and anxious to do business with the Germans though British banks were more so. Dr. Caesar testified that "the protection afforded af-forded to Chase was justified on the ground that it had been active on behalf of Germany before the war in such matters as the German 'standstill 'stand-still credit negotiations. "The British banks," he said, "Were even more preferred by the Germans than the branches of Chase and Morgans. The German occupying authorities decreed that British and Canadian banks in the occupied zone of France 'shall no longer be considered as enemy banks.' These branches provided long-term credits to assist the German war machine. They supplied the Germans with general economic information obtained through their offices in unoccupied France, and they -were particularly useful as depositories to the German authorities."

Framework Is The Goal Now BY PETER EDSON SAN FRANCISCO, April 27 Anyone thinking that all the problems prob-lems of the world are going to be settled at the United Nations conference con-ference here is doomed to disappointment. disap-pointment. Yet many people per sist in this misbelief, and all kinds of misconceptions are rife, as shown by questions asked and criticisms offered of the Dumbar ton Oaks proposals for a United Nations organization to maintain peace and security. And this constitutes con-stitutes a threat against the suc cess of the conference. Much of the confusion can be avoided by sticking to one fundamental concept: con-cept: ' 1 The most that can be done is to lay the foundations and put up the framework for a house which it is hoped will be occupied by an international in-ternational organization that in time may start to begin to commence com-mence to do some of the things misinformed people believe are going to be done now. Specifically, delegates from the 46 nations will write a charter. That's all. This charter will be like the articles of incorporation for an international big business. The business which the corporation will carry on when it gets going will be the business of preventing future wars. In writing the charter, the San Francisco conference will be guided by the rough suggestions drafted at Dumbarton Oaks last fall, but those proposals will be completely rewritten, subtracted from and added to by amendments and revisions. The Tumult and the Shouting May Die This will be a long and involved Drocess. Many people on the out side may become impatient and lose interest. After the great fanfare fan-fare of publicity over the opening sessions, the San Francisco con ference will become middling dull, Many lobbyists and pleaders for special causes may give it up as al hopeless jod ana go nome, particularly par-ticularly if their expense money runs low.

I thought it was all a mirage or something, lots of talk yet no table. Every time I'd go over for an emergency I'd look to see if we had the new table, but no. The same bid thing and now that I'm gone, why he ups and gets it. I should have left sooner. I guess. Not that we didn't do allright with the old one we did. If I had a dollar for every but never mind tnat. i nate people peo-ple who talk about their oper ations. If we had something ex tra special in the way of surgery we used sand bags and boards and what have you to get the patient in position and now all that s past?. Now they can clean out the Fibber Magee and Molly closet in the hall But it won't be the same. It won't be like old times. I'm going to miss that table that is I will if I'm ever in a position to. There was one gadget on that table that didn't fit with my shin-bones. Every time I'd shift from one foot to another (try standing in one spot for an hour or two and see how your feet like It) every time I'd shift from one foot to another, wnacK my shin-bone against that gadget. My shins were always black and blue and there was another about hip length that reached out and grabbed me every time I went by alone, it won't be the same. I suppose they'll put the old table in the small pit and what willl they do with that bone-wrecker they use for a table in the small, pit? Don't tell me they're going to put that in the hall closet too? Now there won't be any room for coke bottles Ah me. I never should have left. Is it just possible pos-sible that I'm homesick? things in Washington start popping pop-ping under President Truman, if domestic issues get hotter than this nebulous international stuff, a lot of the press and radio people will be ordered back where they came from, and a dog watch will be set up to see whether the San Francisco conference lives or dies. At about that time the confer ence will be settling down to its long hard grind in half a hundred or more committees, each given the -job of studying one particular question or drafting one particu lar section. They will be fighting commas,: semicolons, clauses and reservations all over the place. If a few nice fights can be stirred up dver giving Soviet Russia three votes, or if some delegation takes a walk, that will help keep the interest alive. But don t count on it and above all don't give up hope and damn the diplomatic dodoes to eternal oblivion. What is important about San Francisco is what comes out at the end. not what goes in at the be ginning. Don't lose sight of the big objective. Three Hits Will Win the Game If at the end of one or two or three months the San Francisco conference produces a charter which does just three things, you can put it down as a success Those three things are: 1. Create an organization which will deal with futurej threats to world peace and so stop wars by removing their causes before they happen. 2. Make provision for gearing a world court into this machinery so that when nations do get into arguments they can settle their disputes by international law instead in-stead of by force of arms. 3. Establish a formula for inter national machinery which will see that the dependent, colonial areas of the world are governed with justice and not exploited or held in subjection. Don't look to San Francisca for the solution of any disputes con nected with World War II. San Francisco won't settle what will be done with Germany or Japan, won't fix the boundaries of Pol and, won't free India, won't decide what to do with war criminals, wont' settle Francisco Franco's Soanish omelet and won't make Chiang Kai-shek co-operate with the communists. Some of those tilings will be settled when the terms of peace are dictated. Others may become legitimate business for the United Nations organization after it is set up. But as far as San Francisco is concerned, forget 'em. CRACK DOWN ON KIDS' FAD ST. LOUIS, Mo.
