THESE REPORTS declare that with Russian interference programs beamed to the Soviet has been so effective as to cut to 10 per cent the American broadcasts which now permeate the region around Moscow. Two official American protests against these jamming tactics were made last year, but In each case Moscow disclaimed any knowledge of such Interference. The Kremlin aim is obvious. Russian leaders are making every effort to isolate the Soviet people more completely from the west. Reception of American-originatebroadcasts would have no place in that objective.

Whether Gabrielson can bring this about is. of course, wholly conjectural; but it should be remembered that If the GOP would not run hitched together when the White House was the desired destination, there Is little reason to expect them to hold tight In congressional contests.

Some municipalities banned sale of the more objectionable books, others contented themselves with talking; but San Diego, it appears, has come up with a most sensible approach. That southern California city has started what it calls a "comic book of the month club." Its purpose is to "put the fun back into funny books, from whence it has been absent all these conspicuously years. The movement was launched after many San Diego families became disturbed about the subject matter of many of the comic books. THE project depends upon cooperation of the comic-boopubA FORMER AMBASSADOR lishers.

In obvious contrast to the firm policy In dealing with Russia on problems affecting the West, Ache-so- n said of China's future and U. S. aims in that direction: Future U. S. policy must concentrate on relieving China of the Moscow-inspireforeign yoke of Communism. That appeared easier said than done, however. There was no pact and no arms program to warn off the Reds, and. anyway, the Communists were on the ground and in control. Even the most optimistic among the diplomats in Washington would realize that throwing the Communists out of China would be a long, hard fight.

Although as this is written no top limit on size of loans ha been set, they may average approximately $2,500 per farm. Second Loans for farms which are considered potentially adequate, and indicate that the farm will be helped with aid of the loan. On this type of loan, payments for the first few years are made easier and in certain cases the government may overlook or "forgive" a certain per cent of the first payments. The third type of loan includes grants and loans for very poor farms which hold little hope of beThese will coming enable the poor farmer to improve his house, eliminate unsanitary and unsafe conditions. Grants under this type may be as high as with loans running up to $500 $1,000. The law provides that for the first year 25 million dollars will be available for lending with another two million for outright grants. According to the government experts probably 13,000 farmers may avail themselves of these loans. The only fly in the ointment of the measure is that the act merely authorizes the appropriations and it is up to congress to make the appropriations each year if the program is to be carried out as provided in the original act. First years appropriations likely will be enacted. ublic Power Issue Western senators are split wide open on the question of private versus public power, or more specifically the turning over of the big public power dams of the west to the private power interests, as a result of the battle on this question both in the senate appropriations committee and on the floor of the senate. Senators Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, and Pat McCarran of Nevada agreed with Senator Kenneth McKellar, Tennessee, to turn the electric production of government-buil- t dams over to monopolistic control of private utilities. Senators Joseph C. OMahoney of Wyoming, and Carl Hayden of Arizona, led the fight to continue government transmission of electricity produced at the dams to private consumers. How the other members of the committee voted is not certain since there was "no record but Senator McKellar sucvote, ceeded in getting a majority of the 13 Democrat and eight Republican members to vote his way to turn the electrical product of these dams which belong to the people over to the private utilities at virtually their own price, since they ould be the only customers, and the utilities would in turn sell it to the consumers at their own price. This question of public transmission of electricity from the public dams was an issue In the last campaign and one of the pledges of President Truman was that the government would build and operate the transmission lines. Whether this pledge shall be redeemed at the moment seems questionable and may not be known until the closing hours of this Congressman Walt Horan, of state, declares "humid midsummer in Washington, D C neither the place nor time for calm deliberation and careful decision on matters of legislative importance to the United States, its citizens or the world." . . .

The British were rather percep r a p1 That : ! Jr. y 5.75 Billions More The European recovery program appeared set for another year. The senate, by a vote of 63 to 7, voted a 5.75 billion dollar appropriation to take care of European recovery needs and pay U. S. occupation costs abroad. Final action came after two weeks of debate. THE SENATE voted a full 12 month program, with no authority of the spending agency to expend the money In a shorter period. At the same time, it approved an outlay of $344,000 for a congressional to keep watchdog committee check on foreign spending. The upper chamber of congress gave tacit approval to nationalization of Industries in England, that Is by knocking down an amend ment which would have withheld recovery funds from any nation which In the future nationali7ed an Industry. This was aimed directly at Great Britain. The bill provided: One hundred and fifty million dollars for ECA loans to Europe. A billion, 740 million dollars for ECAs May-Jun- e operations. NINE HUNDRED MILLION for army occupation costs in Germany, Austria, Japan end the Ryukyu islands. billion for Greece and Forty-fiv- e Turkey. In its struggle with the bill, the senate beat off efforts to earmark 500 million dollars for a loan to Spain and to require the ECA and the army to earmark two billion dollars for surplus U.
