EVENING MARCH 12 1951 Youths Left Dangling By Walter Lippmann WASHINGTON — No one can write for newspapers long without being aware that it is safer to prophecy disaster than to venture to express- a hope It la sate to be gloomy If one prophecies disaster and It happens one has been a true prophet And if it does not happen one is readily forgiven and may even suggest that but for the warning the disaster would have happened There is I think strong reason to believe that we are approaching one of the crises of our relations with the Soviet Union and that — though it may be considered heretical to admit it — on the issue of whether there is to be war or peace the balance of forces is very considerably In our favor Can't Be Conquered The Soviet government knows that if it came to war it principal antagonist would be the United States It knows that North America is for all practical purposes at the present time a base which cannot be conquered or destroyed yet from it immensely destructive blows can be launched against the heart of the Russian empire Though Russia were able to survive these blows though the red army were able to seize hostages and to obtain compensation in Europe the fact would remain that North America could not be defeated Therefore we in North American would decide how long the war should continue Problem of Diplomacy The problem of our diplomacy is to use but not to abuse this fundamental advantage The advantage in our favor can be abused and it can be squandered if we misunderstand the nature of our power and miscalculate the balance of forces between the Soviet Union The and the Atlantic community power we possess is the power to deter That is a great power— provided that we do not forget that the power to deter is a limited power It is by no means an unlimited and an absolute power far from it It is not the power to compel If we were to mistake it for the power to compel it could and it probably would cease to be de- long-postpon- ed ference toward the tasks immediately at hand are exaggerated there is no doubt that the lot of the young men of military age has not been a happy one in the period military and congressional elements debated about arrangements for the next few years Through the long period during which the matured folk discuss matters affecting millions of young people the youths are mere onlookers 'at proceedings in which their Uves and fortunes are being blocked out a situation which is being called to the nation's attention by many bright young folk At a social work convention in Cedar City last week a panel of college students told the audience that youth feels left out in most adult discussions and activities and they resent this exclusion Certainly they must resent being left out of discussions relating to themselves and their careers American youth is not objecting to being required to play the role for which their age and vigor fit them but they would appreciate more opportunity to express their views and have a hand in decisions It isn't surprising that increasing numbers are saying that if they are bid enough to serve the country in the armed forces they are old enough to receive the privilege of voting so-call- ed attack I believe that two or three Barring a years will be as long as we need controls —Eric Johnston economic stabilizer terrent le Carry a Big Stick Amid mounting evidence that it pays in dealing with the Russians to carry Teddy Roosevelt's big stick in western Europe and elsewhere a senate committee is pressing for adoption of a resolution declaring that the president should let congress say how many troops shall be sent from the United States to serve under Eisenhower Since the number of troops the committee views as sufficient is less than the number General Eisenhower thinks is desirable the effect of the committee resolution is to say that we should not carry as big a stick as our military leaders want but a smaller stick perhaps a buggy whip instead of a war club At a time when nations which recently were leaning toward Russia because Russia seemed to be a giant at whose side it was probably wise to be standing are now examining their international relationships and figuring that their best interests are to be served by alignment with the west adoption of the senate resolution would throw nations and people into confusion again General Eisenhower is a man of spirit and optimism He has rallied the entire west into a virile attitude Hope is replacing hopelessness Russia is mindful of this The resignation of European communist leaders from the Russian brand of communism reflects an appreciation of the change in the balance of military power This is no time to put General Eisenhower under wraps by informing the world the United States will not permit the general to have as many divisions as he thinks are necessary to protect the United States locker but Prices have not gone into the just into the kitchen refrigerator

failure to obey approved adoption methods The natural mother of a child kidnaped the little one from the adoptive parents The child has been returned but the mother faces a kidnaping charge Under methods followed by a and prochild fessionally staffed placement agency such as Children's Aid Society of Ogden the natural mother does not know the adoptive home in which her baby has been placed and the adoptive parents do not know the identity of the mother Long experience has demonstrated this procedure serves best the interests of the child and others concerned and prevents episodes like the one in Texas Talk about preserving the American way of life is nonsense if it does not account for the faith in which these values are rooted (Public education trains children) in what amounts to a

that we encountered took place in Davis county a few years ago Since then at least six of these tragic episodes have been reported in the press from all parts of the country the latest being recorded in Mesa Arizona The stories are similar Children playfully huddle in the abandoned refrigerator The door is closed by one Can Cause Destruction We have the power to cause Sogreat destruction within theWere viet Union and its satellites we to allow the Russians to think that this power of ours would be used to support a policy of ultimatum end of unconditional surrender in the cold war almost cervast military eftainly our whole cease to be a deterrent fort Would ' For against military aggression the power to deter can be effective only if the nation at which it is directed has been convinced that it will not be struck if it refrains from striking If the adversary is allowed to believe that our striking power would probably be used in an atour striktempt to destroy it—that what ing power is aimed not at the U S 8 R may do but at what is the U S S B is— then there no reason to believe that the U S S R would long be deterred by our armaments There is every reason to think it would be provoked For then it would in fact have nothing- to gain by agreement and it would have nothing to lose by aggression If capital punishment were the penalty for sll crimes would swindlers

Soviet Union onlywarif there is a clear alternative w That alternative must necessarily be negotiated settlements in which the survival of the Soviet government and the security of Russia are not at stake The power to deter rests on the major premise that the terms of Settlement will not be unconditional surrender The power to deter is the military complement of the doctrine that the of unfriendly regimes is possible can be and that their made tolerable We must raise no false expectations The doctrine of does not contemplate a settlement which ends the conflict It does not contemplate the kind of peace which now prevails within the Atlantic community — a peace In which war among its members has in fact been renounced and outlawed The contemdoctrine of plates a modus Vivendi It is In its essential an armistice which is ed without a war Question Critical The critical question in any armistice is how much territory is to remain under the military control of the two opposing forces That is the paramount question at issue between Russia and the west which must be settled by agreement or by war How much of Europe beyond the frontiers of the Soviet Union is to continue to be occupied by the Red army? That is the question on which there is going to be a showdown The question we are dealing with is not what Marx and Lenin taught not what Stalin and Molotov believe not what communists everywhere hope and conspire to do These are great questions which may trouble mankind for decades to come But they belong to the unending struggle of rival orders of society and they are not soluble either by war or by diplomacy The crucial question which will have to be solved either by war or by negotiation Is where the red army is to be whether it is to continue to remain in the heart of Europe five hundred miles west of the boundaries of Russia or whether there are conditions which are acceptable to the Soviet Union to Europe and to all the west on which the occupation and the partition of Europe can be ended peaceably ament jsH a BBdsa BaKV4TBr!agffBs ' P M Mr - fmOBBrf Br w3fjMrZ atiw m Boards to Study Rules to Defer U S Waits for Smugglers As Gold Bug Bites Farmer Draftees By Peter Ed son WASHINGTON — Recent at tempts to smuggle gold out of the United States have disclosed some odd angles to foreign hoarding Every time there is a political crisis in some part of the world the desire increases to convert local currencies— which may fluctuate in value — for something of supposedly permanent value like gold That's what starts the gold smugglers to work They try to get gold out of the United States and into countries where there is little regulation and where the gold can be sold at premium prices Last time there was a big effort to get gold out of the United States was in 1949 when Chinese nationalists were fleeing the communists The urge then was to convert real property into gold and flee the country After the nationalists left the mainland the demand for gold dropped off Before that when some 20 European currencies were facing devaluation there was another big demand for gold As soon as the currency devaluation was effected the demand for gold dropped off Latest pickup in the gold smuggling racket began with the attack on Korea The new demand is not concentrated to the far east however Every country that faces political unrest or communist aggression has demands for black market gold India and the middle eastern countries have been good By Major Thomas M Nisi If you request a farm deferment your local board at its next meeting is going to dig into selective service regulations and turn to section 162213 That's the one that deals with class II-deferments for agricultural occupation About 87000 fellows were tagged II-at the beginning this year Your local board will read that in class II-shall be placed "any registrant who is employed in the production for market of a substernal quantity of those agricultural commodities which are necessary to the maintenance of the C C C national health safety or interest" How is this "substantial quantity" measured? Draft regs say "in terms of the average annual production per farm worker which is marketed from a local average farm of the type under consideration" Might Tarn Yen Down This means you might be producing the same amount of eggs milk or potatoes as a fellow in another part of the country who is deferred Your board might turn you down because In your neighborhood what you produce would not be considered "substantial quantity" Also note the words "for market Draft regs say production "for consumption by the worker and bis family or traded for subsistence purposes should not be considered as production for market" You can't be farming just to feed your family You must pour produce into the market for the rest of the community and nation Another phase to note is the one which gives the definition of "essential" — "necessary to the maintenance of the national health safety or interest" Conditions Listed To be considered essential on a farm or In a factory draft regs say you must meet the following three conditions: 1 You must actually be engaged in your work except for a seasonal or temporary interruption 2 Because of a shortage of persons with your qualifications or skill you cannot be replaced on your job This is perhaps the most Important question which your board considers "Can you be replaced easily?" S Your removal from the job would cause "a material loss of effectiveness in such activity" Even If you cannot be replaced would your induction really disrupt the farm or factory? Class II occupational deferments n-for other for agriculture II-than agriculture— are the least permanent of all Why? Because a registrant's occupational status is likely to change more often than says his dependency status Also even though he may stick to the same job his essentiality can change with changing conditions such as a greater need for men in the army a lesser need for men in his 'occupation Neither a II-- nor an II-- deferment may be given for more than a year Frequently boards may give them for shorter periods If you leave your job or your status changes in any way while required to you're deferred you're report it to your local board which will reclassify you (You may write Major Nial care of this newspaper about your own d question Enclose a self addressed stamped envelope) (From AP Newsfeatures) A C C A service-connecte-- grudges MERTHYR - TYDFIL Wales hero of the John Auriemma famcircumstance or the other the children smothering their March 12 (AP)— Clive Bracey 14 ily today cries muffled by the refrigerator insulation looked forward eagerly to the birth Rags barked loud enough to of his pet rabbit's family wake the Auriemmas yesterday Surely by now the dismal word has been spread sufOver the d the doe gave and they escaped with their four to a Utter of eight— but all children from their blazing ficiently so that no person will place a refrigerator in any birth were dead quonset hut home can where it children unless at the Olive's mother found him a few spot Not so long ago Auriemma tempt play locking hours later dead in their said he tried to give Rags away apparatus is knocked off with a few smart hammer blows kitchen because the pup barked too much r d QEsfSBsr mWs' Why you are asked does your president write so many letters?
