"Oh,' replied Colonel House, we will build a better one. And not only have you built bigger and better bridges, but when the American army came back to Europe in this last war it was far, far better than the army of 191718.

(By Y.i.cl.i.) I hear from home that some editors are bored with having me say nice things about people and think it's about time I began punching noses again. Despite that, however, Im going to start the New Year by saying something else nice about a few people. In fact, I want to rectify a couple of injustices. Shortly before 1 left home I wrote a column referring to army promotions in which I pointed to the fact that Gen. Manton S. Eddy, though only a major general, had been promoted over the heads of several n lieutenant generals, the inference being that he was promoted because he was in charge of army press relations. This inference, I am now convinced, was wronf.' While the army does attach ' great importance to its press relations. General F.d- dy also hud a great combat record and his promotion was not at all out of line with this fine record. And while I am getting things off my chest, one diplomat I have criticized a lot in the past is Jimmy Dunn, now U. S. Ambassador to Italy. Regardless of the past, I have watched Jimmy work close up in Rome and theres no question but that hes an Aambassador. He knows Italian psychology, has been tireless in promoting the right kind of friendship between the United Slates and Italy, and has proved himself the kind of representative the United States can be proud of. Though Jimmy Dunn comes from thp opposite side of the railroad tracks from the present Italian government, he has worked most sympathetically to straighten out theii problems, We could use more like him in other countries, llow to Prevent War . There was something quite touching about the ceremony ofunloading the first Italian Friend Ship in (he bombed-ou- t city of Naples. There were piles of rubble onone side, gutted buildings on the other and old German bomb shelters in front. And around the dock were Italian school children, crowding, waving flags and shouting "Viva America! discernible Up above the harbor, scarcely through the clouds, towered Mount Vesuvius. In the harbor itself a crew of 400 stevedores had worked all day Sunday to unload the ship and stevedores arent easily persuaded to work on Sundays in this part of the world. The cheering children, the grim, bombed-ou- t buildings all seemed like a new Italy smiling and struggling to lift itself out of the tragic blunders oi the NELSON i, Marshall Plan Pilot Plant DREW IEARSOX SAYS: GEN.

Its not comforting news that the There is also ke.-.who The Washington Thoughts and Things Marshall Sei ator Taft gave an illuminating gampse of hi? innermost thoughts on aid to Europe worst. ' At its worst. Communist opposi-- 1 tion to American aid will be more serious than anticipated. It was hoped that the Communist guerillas in Greece would be cleaned out last summer. They still hold a third of the country. It was originally planned to spend $150 million to aid Greek military operations.' the other $150 million to aid civilian economy. After only six months of 'operations it has been necessary to take $9 million out of the civilian fund and spend it on the army. When the Communist guerrillas can be cleaned out, no one will hazard a guess. It is mountain fighting of the toughest kind. Even if they' are driven out for keeps, the Greek army will have to keep constant and strong patrol along 450 miles of northern border. REFUGEES ADD TO RELIEF H OES Refugees from this guerrilla ' have warfare 350,000 of them moved into democratic territory, making relief all the harder. Last summer's drought brought crop failures, which cut native Greek food supplies by a third. This, plus advancing world prices, have raised relief costs $28 million above original estimates. There have been some rumors that the State Department would have to ask Congress for more money maybe as much as $100 million more just to carry out the first year's operations, ending next June 30. George C. McGhee, coordinator of the Greek and Turkish aid programs, says there has been no such decision. It may hot be necessary to ask for additional di- - I j rect appropriations. Greece is one of the 16 European on the Mar- "at ions shall Plan. The Paris report from Committee of Eurothe allopean Economic cated Greece $510 million worth of aid from North and South America, for the first year. If 70 per cent of this were to come from the U. S. it would be $360 million. State Department estimates on a basis have not yet been made public. But, as the Paris report totals were cut down by the State Department and will be further cut by Congress, the Greek share may be under $300 million. country-to-countr- y Whatever the figure, any Mar- shall Plan aid made available by April 1 will make unnecessary sup- plementary appropriations to carry on the original Greek aid program under the Truman Doctrine. These are some of the bad aspects of the Greek and general European relief and recovery situations. But the picture is not all black. In addition to the 150 civilians and 100 Army officers in the American mission, there are over 300 li. S. contractors and engineers at work rebuilding public works.
