American, British Trade Unions Operf War on Moscow Influence By DEVVTT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst One of the most encouraging developments In the war against communism is the project of U. S. and British trade union leaders 1o take Anglo-American organized labor out of the Moscow-dom inated World Federation of Trade Unions, Union officials of both conn 1rles are beginning conferences in London next week looking to tills far-reaching move. The pro ject contemplates the creation of a new world organization, un less there Is a house-cleaning by the WFTU with Its membership of 70,000.01)0 in 50 countries. The significance is this: lted controlled trade unions In Eu rope have provided Moscow with its most potent weapons in the revolution for the spread of Communism. IJniy and France are examples of countries which were brought close to disaster by Bolshevist Influence over labor. Numerous lesser states have suc cumbed. Naturally one of the first moves Moscow makes In stnrting a campaign in a new country Is to bore into trade unions. The objective always Is key ex ecutive positions through which the Reds tilm to control the or. gunization. Many of these fifth columnists are trained In Kits sla, or receive intensive Instruc tion from agents who have had their schooling in Moscow, Red Rats Spotted The hook-up with the Comln- Srarti SUNDAY Ono Week S4 vL WALTER DREHNAN MMtgeimtY CLIFT Joanne DR J INDIAN THEATER F tmmmmmaamammssunaaaamtk form Is complete. When the Com munists once get control of a trade union that means it Is get ting orders from the Kremlin. VVell, American and British labor have spotted the rats bor ing In. They are seeing Red. Hence the move to dissociate themselves from the World Fed eration of Trade Unions which Is credited with toeing the Bolshe vist line. Americans expected to attend the London conference next week are James Carey, secretary-treasurer of the CIO; Walter Reu ther, president of the United Auto Workers, and David McDonald, Secretary-treasurer of the United SI eel Workers. Britain will be represented by Arthur Deakln, secretary of the British Trades Union Congress, and other TUC oflieials. In March Rrltlsh labor leaders will meet with heads of the American Federation of I-ibnr In the United States. The AKL is said to have Indicated a willing ness to discuss Joining a new federation. Marshall Plan Opposed This movement actually hail lis inception a year ago In Paris at a meeting of labor represen tatives from countries in the Marshall Plan. The World Fed eration of Trade Unions had thumbs down on the rehabili tation project. It was about that time that Louis Salllant, French secretary general of the WFTU, declared in a speech to leftist workers In Milan, Italy, that the organiza tion's objective was to "elimin ate the primary cause of war the capitalistic system." A little later a trade union conference was held In London i to try to avert a split in the WFl'U ever the Marshall Plan. Besides the American CIO and the British Trades Union Con gress, the trades organizations of thirteen ether nations were represented. The WFTU staved away. Then six months ago the Bri tish Trades Union Congress branded the WFTU as a Com munist propaganda organization. The TI'C served notice that the WFTU either must suspend for a year to clean house, or the TUC would resign from mem bership. The WFI'U executive Is meeting in Paris this month to consider this demand. London expects that If this proposal Is rejected, the British and Americans then will an nounce plans for a new world federation. A new federation would give a great Hit to the cause of Democracy. Marriage Rate In U.S. Fastest Since 1890, Census Says By JANE EADS WASHINGTON More people are getting married today than at any time since 1890, when first statistics on marriages were com piled. The proportion of the adult population who said "I do" in 1947 was the largest on record. These and other facts about fam ily life are presented bv Dr. Paul C Click of the U. S. Bureau of Census In the January Issue of the American Journal of Sociol ogy. "We know, for instance, that In many respects our families are better housed than they were be fore the recent war, but that in othe respects the housing situa tion has deteriorated," Dr. Glick continues. "We can document the greatly increased participation of married women In the labor force since 1940, the large-sca'e move ment of families away from farms and to the West, the un usually rapid Increase in the num ber on non-white families outside the South, the spectacular mar riage and divorce boom, the ex ceptionally sharp rise in the num ber of births and the continued reductions in mortality rates." Dr. Click explains that the facts were arlved at by using the 1940 census as a "benchmark" with which to compare the findings of surveys that have been made dur ing the years since that time. The high level of employment, according to Dr. Click, has been one of the most Important factors cotrlbutlng to recent changes in family life. However, he explains, the fact that recent marriage rates have been high is better known than the reasons for the boom. "On the basis of long-time trends," he says, "we could have expected somewhat less than 1, 400,000 marriages per year since 1940. However, there were about 3,000,000 more marriages than the expected number from 1940 through 1947." One might figure this Increase was due to the war, but Dr Gllck points out that the greatest mar gin was In 1946, the first full post war year, when there were 2.300.- 000 marriages, or nearly million more than normal. Remarriages of an unusually large number of divorced persons might account for a minor part of this excess. Dr. Glick says. the "expected" number of di vorces per year since 1940 was between 250,000 and 300,000, but as In the case of marriages most occurred In 1946. There were 615,- uuu divorces that year more man twice the normal number. Considering the entire period irom i'-hu to 1947, he rays we find there were approximately a million more divorces than usual. r ai mers and non-whites did not contribute so much as others to the marriage boom, but both groups totaled more divorces. -""-I' f I II Jill .

Midwest Said Bracing For Fresh Blizzard The Western and Mountain Plains Slates, slowly recovering from a three-day severe blizzard, braced for a fresh onslaught of snow, wind and sub-zero weather today. A new storm roared out of cen tral Canada Into Montana. Wyom ing and North Dakota and head ed for sections in Colorado, Ne braska and South Dakota. This Is the same general area which was paralyzed earlier this week by the winter seasons worst weather. Twenty persons lost their lives In the blizzard and thousands were marooned In autos nnd trains which were stalled bv the huge snow drifts over the plains. However, tne federal Weather Bureau said they did not expect as severe a storm as the blizzard earlier this week. The new snow and cold was expected to halt the snow plow operations In some of the areas. l-.arly today snowplows smashed through huge drifts in the vicini ty of Rapid City, S. IX, and rescued 71 motorists who had loen stranded for five davs in Wickesville, S. IX, a hamlet of 13 population. The 71 had flved In two houses and two filling stations, the town's only build ings.

William "Bill" White Announces Opening Here Of Accounting Office Second Time Would Have Been Real Test for the Good Samaritan By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK. (JP) The fat man finished his meal In the small restaurant, then stood stolidly in line at the cashier's counter to pay his check. He forked a rumpled $5 from his pocket and tossed it to the woman. She was a skinny, tired woman of middle age the wife of the restaurant owner. "Dollar ten," she said in a flat monotone. She counted some bills, and the fat man absently crum pled them into his paw. "Good night," he said. "Night," she answered, leaving off the adjective. It is thus that harried people unconsciously criti cize life. Outside, the fat man counted the money. With kindling excite ment he realized that the woman had given him change for a $20 bill instead of a $5. "Well, well," he said, pleased. He put his hand in his pocket and walked along slowly, finger ing the bills and jingling the coins. "Let's see," he thought, "I can buy three shirts, some socks, some ." He came to a bar and went in. He started to order his usual beer the beer that explain ed his belly and then changed his mind and called for a high- j ball. I He bought a fifteen-cent cigar ! and strolled over and put a nickel I in the juke box. Highball in hand, cigar in mouth, he stood and lis tened to an old tune about some-' body saying he couldn't give some body anything else but love, baby. Spurred By Honesty And right in the middle of the fat man's pleasure a face came Into his mind the face of a mousey woman cashier with glaring dyed hair, a weary face ! too scant to fill the wrinkles un-1 der her eyes. "Oh, hell," he grumbled. Three minutes later the door of the restaurant opened and in came the fat man. The tables were almost deserted, but there was still a line at the counter. The fat man stomped over to the cashier. Half angrily, half defensively, he began: "You." But the cashier said: "You'll have to go to the end of the line." "I like that," said the fat man. But he went. When his turn came, he began again: "I was here a little, while ago, and you made a mistake in the change." The cashier stiffened immedi ately. "I'm sorry, you're supposed to count the change before leaving the counter," she said. Her husband, who had been stacking clgarets in the case, straightened up. "That's right, Mac." he said. "Once you leave the counter It's your funeral." Not Even Thanked The fat man Indignantly slap ped the wadded bills and coins on the class counter. "What I'm trying to tell you Is you gave me change for a $20 Instead of a S3." The husband's face hardened as he turned to his wife. "How the devil did you do that?" 'Honey, she said, and fear came into her eves. "How could you mistake a $20 for a $5." said the husband. "It's bad enough to be dumb. Do you have to be blind, too." "Honey," she pleaded. Neither of them paid anv atten tion to the fat man. He hesitated moment, then went back out the door. T wonder what the Good Samaritan would have done if he came to a second guy in a ditch," he brooded. "Would he have help, ed him, too?" But he really knew the answer.

While they were students at the University of Vienna, where they received their medical de grees, their interest In the field of psychiatry was inspired by pro fessors under whom they studied. Later, in rotary internships in Los Angeles, they liked best psy chiatry, of all the services to which they were assigned. Of her assignment here, to one of the two neuropsychlatric hos pitals maintained by the Veterans Administration in the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Bertha remarked about the public attitude toward mental hospitals. She pointed out that a great portion of the pub lic "unfortunately still looks upon mental diseases as being a 'dis grace'." She added that while mental hospitals, of course, are set aside for those who suffer with "an ill ness of the soul" and general medical hospitals for those who suffer with an "illness of the body," the two the body and the soul actually are "inseparable.' "This is obvious," she ex., plained, "in that whoever is mentally ill is not his normal self physically and vice versa; only in the mentally ill patient, the mind is more involved than the body, and In the physically ill patient, the body is more Involved than the mind." Both Dr. Bertha and Dr. Mar tha Blumer are members of the American Medical Association, Dr. Bertha, In addition, i ber of the American P- 8 Association.
