Show Wants Hot War U.S. Orders Expulsion of 22 Czech Most E01TOR'S NOTE! When pinions mr expressed In Ihtii lolnmns, they are these ef (Vrittrn Newspaper Union'! new analysts and not neeesearllr of this newspaper.) U. S. Hits Back United States has ordered expulsion of 22 Czech officials from this country in retaliation of recent conduct by that country. The U.S. note, which hinted at future diplomatic blows against the Kremlin - controlled government, charged Czechoslovakia "will not or cannot" conduct itself decently with other nations. Diplomats considered the U. S. note strongly worded and saw the action as clear evidence of the disintegration of relations between the two countries. It reduced the number of Czech officials in this country from 33 to 22. The state department note said in Truman Speaks The part: "Since the United States cannot conduct normal diplomatic and consular functions In Czechoslovakia and since the relations between the are being retwo governments stricted in scope through the actions of the Czechoslovakia government, the latter has been requested .within a reasonable time to close its consulates in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and to make a reduction in its official personnel in the United States similar to that demanded of the United States in Czechoslovakia." The expulsion order means the Czech government will have 11 representatives in this country, all possibly in Washington. The order does not include that country's representation to the United Nations. 20,000 first-lin- e planes in oper- ation at the present time. That would indicate Russia may be able to fight a "hot war" on a moment's notice. It is generally accepted by observers that the atomic bomb is already in production behind the iron curtain.

Until recently experts believed European security could be viewed in terms of political activity and economic- pressure. A recent poll of European diplomats, however, reveals that they now believe the political bureau of the Russian Communist party soon will be willing to fight a hot war in pursuit of its alms. One reliable source declares the Russians would be "ready" to fight in 1952. By then the Soviet Union will have a stockpile of atomic bombs and numerical superiority In ground and air forces. The Russians are estimated to have Foggy and Unreal Observers are beginning to shout that the current political scene is becoming so foggy and unreal that the general public is confused. Perhaps it is the observers themselves who are confused. Regardless of their shouts, however, President Truman concluded his tour across the nation making as many as 16 speeches a day while congress tied itself into knots on one issue after another.

Thursday, June 1, 1950 THE TIMES- - NEWS, NEPHI, UTAH PAGE TWO about inflation. For all of them the dollar buys less than before the war. Of late, however, there has been little said or done about the inflation spiral. Now Bernard M. Baruch, adviser to Presidents for 40 years, has taken another swing at inflation. "Inflation is the cold war we Americans are waging against ourselves," the statesman warns. "Inflation affects the integrity of all our defenses, both moral and military, national and international," he added. "This continuing spiral doesn't necessarily mean trouble at the moment, but it means trouble ahead if we don't put a stop to it. Sowewhere along the line, the balloon always bursts." The national situation as he sees it finds the country balancing precariously between employment and the maintenance of a high standard of living, and unemployment and inflation. We must work out a program to curb inflation that will be fair to everyone, he said. No one will like it, but we must do it and soon.

Assistant Secretary Edward W. Barrett sent 500 newspaper editors an eight-pag- e analysis of McCarthy's speech which charged the department was overrun by Communists. Barrett's reply contained a denial. While it did not assert in so many words that McCarthy was lying, the document repeatedly sought to show that he and "inuttered "misstatements' point-by-poi- nt accuracies."
