MINDSZENTY: Gets - i Life Term The trial of Cardinal Mindszenty, primate of Hungary, was over and the verdict came as no surprise. The Cardinal was sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of treason and black marketing. If there were an unexpected element in the outcome it was that the primates We had been spared. But at trials end even that hung in the balance. Cardinal Mindszenty still could lose his life. Under Hungarian law, while his sentence of life could be appealed, the supreme peoples tribunal, last court of appeal, could increase the severity of the sentence which, in this case, could mean only death. THE CARDINAL was doomed from the outset. His plight had so stirred the Christian world that denunciations of the Hungarian governments actions were almost universal. Powerful western nations, through their leading churchmen, had attacked the trial procedure ant this, in turn, had incensed the Communist-dominateHungarian court to a point where the issue was never in doubt. It was generally believed that it was only reluctance to make a martyr out of the Cardinal that averted the death penalty. Hungary lost no time in assailing American representatives who actually, or purportedly, sided with the cardinal. Among targets of these attacks were Cardinal Spellman, of New York, who delivered a scathing sermon against prosecution of Mindszenty, and Selden Chapin, U. S. envoy to Hungary. AMONG OTHER THINGS, Cardinal Mindszenty was accused of gathering information for Chapin in a scheme to overthrow the Hungarian government. Chapin immediately branded this charge as pure fantasy." General opinion was that in the prosecution of the Cardinal Russian communism had made its first great blunder. For in the move was discerned the fact that religion and religious concepts whether Catholic or Protestant would not be permitted to stand in the way of Soviet aims of expansion and domination. The Russians had resurrected a policy which once before had so alarmed them that they had forsworn it. But now they were publicly and dramatically recommitted to it a policy of the Kremlin versus Christ, and this time the Soviet Union was up against an adversary for whom there can be no defeat. House.

DATA: GOP'S DEWEY: New Liberalism For a man who was strangely reticent about plans while seeking the presidency of the United States, New Yorks Thomas E. Dewey turned vocal and voluble in his Lincoln Day address In Washington. In the diminutive governors remarks there was no apology for defeat and no supine bid for favor. Instead, he lashed out vigorously against party policy and advocated a purge of from GOP ranks. That there was a noticeable paradox in his position apparently disturbed him not at all. While crying for those who oppose liberal progressive" policies to get out of the party, he struck out also at New Dealish elements inside tije organization. Urging his party to stop bemoaning the past, he recommended that it dedicate itself anew to forward-lookin- g programs of social progress but without trying to outbid the Democrats with the public money." It was Deweys first public address since his defeat last November, and in it he reminded his listeners that the last GOP platform expressed wholehearted belief in unemploymeht insurance, increased assistance, broader social security generally, slum clearance and public housing, public development of water power, and farm price supports. These words must have left some of his hearers stunned. Surely, they must have asked themselves, why werent some of these things mentioned during the multiple appearances of their presidential candiINFLATION: date last year? But, Dewey, ever the realist in People Curbed It a situation, however he may facing can themselves, The people, claim major credit for the recent react to it, conceded that the party was split wide open in a fight check to national inflation. between two extremes of thought. famof the That is the conclusion And then he uttered a remark ily economics bureau of the Northwestern National Life Insurance which must have brought some sly He said: What we ought Company which conducted a study smiles. is to make it everlastingto do of the subject.

But in an utterance which commanded American headlines, they revealed themselves as almost childishly naive. With the cold war as hot as it could be, short of the bullet stage, the Soviets had the gall to demand that the United States tell them how many this country has and provide full data on armed forces and armaments. Never modest In demands, the Soviets set a deadline for receipt of this information. It was March 31, 1949 HOWEVER, they wouldnt be completely selfish about the matter. They demanded that the report on these matters be made to the United Nations, of which Russia Is a member. Warren R. Austin, U. S. delegate to the U. N., dubbed the Soviet resolution a succotash of all - the beans and- different constituents Russia has put to the U. N. on the arms and atomic questions since the world peace organization was formed. Even a citizen might, be excused for risking a sawbuck that the Russians would have nothing but their pains in proposing that the U.

I J The Questions By BAUKHAGE News Analyst end Commentator, WASHINGTON When the various departments of the government began to gather data for the President to be used as the basis for preliminary legislation for his bold new program of establishing the machinery of world cooperation for the development of undeveloped countries, it was a surprise to many to learn than many of these agencies are by no means starting from scratch. The department of agriculture of course, has had the longest and most successful record in this line a good 10 years. In 1939 it had become all too evident that in a world where the free flow of trade was threatened by rising hegemonies, we had to look to our nearer neighbors for many things which we did not produce at home, and which they could, but did not, produce themselves. Congess was quite willing to authorize the department of agriculture to lend some of its techni-cian- s to other countries and to help such countries as , 4. were willing to co-- j ij operate to set up at agricultural for the pur-- f 1 1 p os e of putting f S II American techni- ques into action. For those who may have questioned the expendi ture in this connec-BALHALE tion, there is some satisfaction in noting that the experiment paid, from the standpoint of all con cerned including the peoples of the countries involved. On the average the United States puts out one dollar for each three dollars spent by the other countries. In 1943 Latin American countries were expending $500,000. In 1948 they invested $1,178,000. The countries in which the stations are located, an official of the department explained, supplies land, buildings, associate technicians, office and service personnel, equipment and supplies available within the country, and funds for operating expenses. The United States supplies the know-hoand the specialized equipment necessary. The plan pays out, the department explains, this way. Assistance in raising crops such as cocoa, coffee, certain fibres, medical plants, tea and rubber, has increased the revenue from them. They are products in demand in this country, we dqnt or cant raise. The dollars they earn are turned into many manufactured products which these countries purchase from us. In the last special report issued by the American military government on the Licensed Press of Germany, we have an example of another type of experience which the United States has had in attemptfor ing to provide the know-how- " a foreign nation. Some of the seeds which have been planted and which It Is hoped will grow, thanks to the application of American techniques, are those which should produce a free and democratic press in Germany. It would be somewhat rash to try to teach the Germans all about the publishing business. After all Gutenburg, who invented printing, was a German, and ever since his time the Germans have taken the lead in many of the mechanical processes connected with the publishing business. But when the American occupation forces moved in, there was nothing that resembled a free press in Germany, and ril there had been it hardly could have flourished under the conditions which then existed. Even today the best we can expect is a nearly free press" and that is what it admittedly is. In the United States zone and in Berlin there are now 58 newspapers licensed by the United States. These papers own a cooperative- 1 In the United States and Great Brit- ain or other democratic countries. What have been the results?

They have been encouraged to maintain their Independence and objectivity against all attacks and to resist the encroachment of government or of other special interest groups and protect their right to bring the news of Germany and the world to the people of Germany and to comment upon it. The question that remains, however, is this: when the controls and the existing regulations are removed, will the Germans graduate from a nearly free press which the Americans have encouraged to a genuinely free press which Ameran essential of icans consider Will the Germans, democracy? who for centuries have accepted control and regimentation from above, be able to start out afresh and make use of the democratic techniques to which we have attempted to expose them?

Warren Thornwalte, soil conservation expert of the department of agriculture says of the Great Plains: In a desert, you know what to expect of the climate and plan accordingly. The same is true of humid regions. Men have been badly fooled by the semi-ari- d regions because they are sometimes humid, sometimes arid, and sometimes a cross between the two. Yet it is possible to make allowances for this, too, once the climate is understood. One of the worst blows in the winter storms was struck in the southwestern part of the area affected, southern Nevada and northern Arizona, where ordinarily there is feeding. There are low altitude ranges there which make it unnecessary, under normal conditions, to provide winter feed.
