Cold War Cheaper Than Hot One, Says EC A Administrator Hoffman By BRUCE BIOSSAT 1 , Can we afford the cold war? A lot of people say we can't, that the Marshall Plan, heavy defense outlays, help to the Far East and Point Four aid to backward lands are just too much to bear. Paul Hoffman, able head of the Economic Cooperation administra tion, has a different answer. He says we can't afford NOT to fight the cold war. In a recent Washington speech fiacked with solid sense, Hoffman aid the issue out plainly. As they emerge from his comment, the choices before us are these: to knuckle under to Russia, to reach a fair agreement with her, to con tinue the cold war or to undertake a shooting war. Of tha first prospect, Hoffman probably voices the general U. S. view when he says Russia has a "perfectly stinking" system that men won't live under if they can somehow escape it. And Hoffman seems to share the widespread official pessimism i n America over chances of a sound agreement with the Kremlin. He stresses that Russia decided to fight the cold war even while World War II still raged and she was our comrade in arms. He sees Soviet leaders thoroughly commit ted to the idea that communism and capitalism must battle until one or the other goes down. Hoffman is at his most forceful in pointing out that continuing the cold war is preferable by far to the one remaining alternative THE NICEST PEOPLE . . rely on ut for service. We're proud to mony folks like ut and the work we do i for them. . - ROGER'S SHELL SERVICE On Melrose Road at S. entrance to Veterans Hospital shooting war. "Shooting war is the ultimate stupidity," he declares. "This time we have got to win a victory with these new cold-war techniques The cold war is expensive, yes. The four-year cost of the Marshall Plan will hit close to $15,000,000,000. Defense outlays for ourselves and our allies are runing around $13, 000,000,000 to $15,000,000,000 a year. Add to this the mounting aid to other lands. But what of a hot war's cost Hoffman, quotes former Secretary of the Army Gordon Gray as est imating the final cost of World War II when the last pension is paid at one trillion, three hundred billion dollars. Another war almost inevitably would cost much more. Hoffman believes we could ex tend the Marshall plan to Asia and perhaps Africa for a cost that would come to less in a year than a hot war would cost in a week. "What are people talking about when they say we can't afford this $15,000,000,000, this $20,000,009 000?" he asks. The economy-minded will b e hard put to make sensible reply. For the fact is that, grim as it is, the cold war is the most cheerful prospect we can contemplate until Russian communism somehow crumbles under the weight of a determined free world.

FROZEN FOOD LOCKERS 624 Winchester Phone 280 WHOLESALE AND RETAIL Avoid Outdoor Injuries During Summer Season By JANE EADS WASHINGTON Nature does not provide all the hazards of summer. You may escape ticks, snake bite, poison ivy, sunstroke, drowning and still trip over a garden hoe, cut yourself ' on a scout knife, sprain an ankle hiking. Cuts, scratches even more serious wounds, sprains, strains and frac tures are ever present menaces to vacation fun, warns Dr. Carl J. Potthoff, national first aid and accident prevention director, Am erican Red Cross. He says you can help prevent wounds by handling camp and out door tools carefully, by being care ful not to fall or scratch yourself on tree limbs. Sprains usually re sult from falls, so he says to watch the ground you're walking on, avoid loose stones, roots, small holes; wear sensible shoes, not sneakers, moccasins or loose-fitting sandals. Advice on Lifting Strains usually come from lift ing from an improper position. Use the leg and thigh muscles, not back muscles when lifting. Don't lift heavy objects alone. "If you have a lifting job to do, crouch close to the object with knees bent and then rise with your back straight, throwing the weight of your burden onto your shoulders, legs and back," Dr. Potthoff suggests. "To prevent fractures, be especially careful to guard against falling. Weariness frequently contributes to accidents so it is wise to rest occasionally while hiking or work ing in the garden." Dr. Potthoff submits the follow ing garden-safety measures: Keep walks clear, grass swept off. Toys or other articles left on walks or paths are hazards. Place stepping and will meet in the old Green school. The "FRENCHMAN" sayi "OTHER COTTAGE CHEESE LEAVE ME (how you say?) UNIMPRESS!" Wet Frwh Mi.i.f far FrnnUl frtm wrrmt ftetl-MJtW, The Freschtnae.

Wages Vary In 'Classless' Poland; Stage Star Draws More Than Cabinet Minister (Editor's note: Daniel De Luce, Pulitzer prize winning roving re porter of the Associated Press, has just returned to his post in Berlin after a week's visit behind the iron curtain in Poland. Here is summary of his observations. By DANIEL DeLUCE WARSAW (.11 A gorgeous blonde on the Warsaw stage is worth her Weight in Zlotys a 100, 000 a month, to be exact. Poland p eople'i Poland, the Communists dub it makes a great to-do of abolishing all classes ex cept the proletariat. Somehow, though, there's still a gulf between Tilly, the typist, with her humdrum job in a state-owned trust, and the dazzling first lady of a state-owned theater. A stage star, drawing a monthly' paycheck of 100,000 zlotys ($250) for infusing drama with socialistic significance, is twice as well paid as a cabinet minister ($125). She's also five times richer thn Tilly ($50). A million Polish women, more or less like Tilly, belong to Po land's communist-controlled trade unions, although most of them aren't Communists. Counting men, these unions total 3,500,000 members.' Like unions in Russia, they never strike against their chief employer,-the atate. Three tiny strikes occurred in all Poland last year. Strangely enough they were directed in each case by t h e Communist Agricultural Workers' union against a church estate. Since then, nearly 500,000 acres of church estates have been taken over by the government. Things are so quiet today on the rural labor front that you can hear a dialetic drop. Everybody, officially, is joyous over working conditions in Poland, even though the government is con tinually tinkering with the norm the minimum output demanded of an employe. There is, officially, no exploit ation of labor by the state. But something called "a law for social ist work discipline" is making a Tnurt., June 1, 1950 The Newi-Revlew, Roseburg, Ore. 11 few million brows sweat. People's Poland collects a lot of hard cash from the 74.000.000 tons of coal produced annually by some of the ruggedest mines in the world. This year their wage rate has been hiked and they've been auth orized titles, "Merited Miner of People's Poland." They also get badges of rank. The new increase raises the in comes of a veteran miner to as much as $67.50 a month. If he were working for "Anglo-American Imperialists" in the West-German Ruhr, he might have to worry along on 300 marks ($71.17). Another feature of People's Po land is that women are required to assert their "labor equality " with men. As in Russia, this means that women become bricklayers, tractor drivers, lathe operators, pick-and-shovelers, and other heavy workers. The state is hurriedly construct ing more nurseries so that more women can share in labor equal ity. The program is timely. Po land's birth rate is the highest in 50 years, her marriage rate the highest in history, and her death rate the lowest ever. Compared to before the war, 150 percent more women (total 400.000) are engaged in state-owned indus ry. The minimum wage is $30 a month, but the average is $45. Pregnant women are entitled to 12 weeks leave at full pay, of which eight weeks must follow their con finement. Vacation resorts are state-owned and cater almost exclusively to union workers. Since resort ' ca pacity is 500,000 a year, the na tion's 3,500.000 unionists are sure of holiday reservations by 1956. There were meat shortages at government butcher shops last winter, and stocks of shoes and dress materials disappear tempor arily from the shelves of some state clothing stores. This is subject to self-criticism at meeting of the Communist cen tral committee. Short a, vs were blamed on capitalist speculators in the old days. Now a few Titoists I are hunted in the party woodpile. I Prices of consumers' goods do not encourage lavish living. Half of our mythical Tilly's $50 salary for a month of state typing may go for a pair of flimsy walking shoes. A new woolen suit absorbs two months' income. It costs $5 to have her old suit dry cleaned. If her Activist beau spurges her to an evening in one of Warsaw's four government-owned night spots, he'd be stuck for $6 for a small-bottle of vodka. Security agents sit around these drink-and-dance centers, making notes of suspiciously large spend ers who should be paying more income taxes wear this year than last, and nat ional housing and industry are making visible progress. Every body is hard at work without any "false glitter of Capitalism." The newspapers publish horror stories of the misery and jobless ness of the proletariat in western countries, including the United States, where hungry New York ers, they said queued up to apply for street cleaner positions "at the starvation wage of $40 a week." They also publish dispatches on the bliss of the Soviet worker,, whose science, efficiency and free dom are the highest they say, in the world.
