6 Tht News-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Thur., July 21, 1949 Allies1 Bid To Italy To Join Atlantic Pact Breaks Peace Treaty, Assertion Of Russia LONDON, July 21. CP) ..Russia accused the three big west ern powers Wednesday of causing Italy to violate her peace treaty by inviting her into the North At lantic alliance. Britain denied it and an Italian foreign office spokesman said the Russian charge was "absurd and ridicu lous. Moscow radio announced Rus sian notes have gone to Italy and the big western powers making the complaint, at a moment when the Italian parliament is debating ratification of the pact. In a swift rejoinder, the foreign office declared the western pow ers have no intention of building up Italy's armed forces beyond the limits laid down in the treaty. A spokesman termed invalid Russia's complaint that Italy, by Joining the pact, unlawfully had entered an alliance pursuing ag gressive aims. 'The North Atlantic pact Is es sentially a defensive undertaking, not directed against anyone," the spokesman told a news confer ence. . The spokesman said the text of the Russian note has not yet been received. He based his comments on news agency versions of the Russian radio announcement. Foreign office comment at this stage before the text of the note has become available is unusual. The swift retort presumably is designed to counteract any ef fects the Soviet charges may have on the course of the debate in the Italian Chamber of Dcpulies. Swift ratification has been ex pected. I Educators Should Have Substitute For lack Of Purpose' In Living By BRUCE BIOSSAT Robert M. Hutchlns, chancellor of the University of Chicago, has always been an energetic critic of America's failings, as he sees them. Recently, out, In Aspen, Colo,, the genlleman was at it again., This time he was attacking, among many things, the "lack of pur pose" in American living. ' Hutchlns complained that we fritter away pointlessly the grow ing leisure we gain from advan ces in labor-saving techniques. He added: "If it is possible to apply atomic energy to peace time purposes we shall have more vacant time. Atomic ener gy, therefore, confronts mankind with this dreadful choice: If we have war we shall be blown to bits; If we have peace we shall be bored to death." Part of the blame for this waste of leisure Hutchlns a t tached to the specialists who seem to dominate our age. Too often, he said, these Individuals remain "uneducated men" d e snlte their admittedly great con tributions to science, medicine an technology. This Is not a new observation but it bears repeating. It means in effect that our scientific scho lars and educators generally are so busy piling up isolated mounds of new knowledge1 that they never find time to lump them together into a well-molded mass. By Ignoring this task they obscure the basic unity of all knowledge. Knowledge is simply the story of life on this earth. Like any story, it must be told in cohesive style and human terms to have its greatest im pact. The world offers rich human satisfactions. But the average man can be excused if he falls to see where those rewards lie. On every hand he meets frighten ing complexities that discourage his effort to understand himself, his place in society, his relation to the stream of history. To find his niche he needs to fit himself Into the large frame work of life. It is the educator's chore not merely to elaborate on that structure but to keep its fundamental unity clear and re cognizable. The man who sees that unity has the best chance of a sallsfylfying existence. It gives him a sense of belonging that goes deep. Without it, he too frequently wanaers aimlessly, f inding n real satisfaction In his work, he seeks spectacular diversion in his spare time to compensate for me emptiness he leela. Leisure, ' instead of being a rich comple I ment to rewarding work, becomes I a irenziea escape. And boredom : builds upon boredom. I Every inch added to the rising mounds of specialized knowledge neigmens our complexities. Edu cators had better address them. selves firmly to their Job before it Decomes wen-nigh hopeless.

S., Britain, trance and eight other nations, WASHINGTON, July 21. P Secretary Acheson Wednesday described as "utterly without foundation" a Russian protest that Italy s membership in the Atlan tic alliance would violate the Italian peace treaty. Britain already has denied the boviet contention. Italy has signed the North At lantic alliance, but has not yet rattiied it. Acheson said the Russian argu ment in the case of Italy like other soviet objections to the treaty, assumes that the treaty is directed against KOssia. Acheson said that is not the case and the American govern ment has said many times that the treaty is purely defensive. The Ttusslan protest m the case of Italy differs from other earlier objections against the pact, he said, in that it claims that Italy i memnersmp in the pact will vlo late the Italian peace .treaty. Actually, he said, the state de partment has publicly stated many times that this is not the case. er's' daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Marshall. Allcorn blamed his misstep on his love for Mrs. Marshall, which "Just drove me crazy." The wom an, mother of two small chlidren, reciprocated: she said she want ed to marry Allcorn as soon as she could divorce her present husband. , At last!

Robinson had been urged by many people, mostly commu. nists, not to comply with the com mittee's request that he appear before it. Why then did he do it; In his straight-forward way he told the congressmen it wasn't easy to find the answer, but he guessed "it boils down to a sense of responsibility." Jackie said that if Robeson made the statement attributed to him, it sounded "very silly." The witness declared tnat most Ne groes and Italians and Irish and jews and Swedes and Slavs and other Americans would act as all these groups did in the last Drain Assembly of God church, Is well known in this commun ity.

Under it an appeared to be an under current of faith that America's internal racial problems were on the way to solution. He didn't evade this delicate issue In his testimony. For" instance: "I don't pretend to-be an ex pert on communism or any other kind of a political ism. But you can put me down as an expert on being a colored American, with thirty years of experience at it. And just like any other colored person with sense enough to look around and understand what he sees, I know that life in these United States can be mighty tough for people who are a little different from the ma jorityin their skin, color or the way that they worship their God, or the way they spell their names." That stated the issue plainly enough, but Robinson went on to relate how he had been used as "the laboratory specimen" in in troducing Negro players into or ganized baseball. Since then some six other colored players have beeri signed up "a start has been made, and progress goes on." And then: We re going to make progress in other American fields besides baseball if we can get rid of some of the misunderstandings and confusion that the public still suffers from. I can't speak for any 15,000,000 people any more than any other person can. but I know that I've got too much invested lor my wile and child and myself in the future of this country, and I and other Ameri cans oi many races and fauns have too much invested in our country's welfare, for any of us to throw it away because of siren song sung in bass."

Wichitans used to drink water at a fountain erected in Carrie's honor by, the Women's Christian Temperance Union. But the fountain toppled by a truck from its curbstone mount in front of Wichita's union station some two years ago, is In retire ment.
