Berlin Snafu :
In a aerie of newspaper articles taken from
his book "Berlin Command," Brig. Gen. Frank
Howley, former American commandant of the
American sector in Berlin, asserts that "we can't
get along with' Moscow." In a review of the
book, Delbert. Clark, former New York Times
correspondent in Berlin, makes clear that one
reason we can't get along with, the Russians is
Brig. Gen. Frank Howley. N
No one in their right mind would exonerate
the Russians of their responsibility for the past,
present and continuing all-fouled-up situation
in the former German capital. But occupation
officers of Howley 's caliber are partly to blame,
too. 's
Rowley, Clark says,' hated and despised the
Russians even before he went to Berlin. He
didn't ever try to "get along." Furthermore, he
was awfully impatient (to the point of insubor
dination) with his superior, Gen. Lucius Clay,
who was more reluctant to shoot first and ex
plain later.
The brigadier's general conclusion about the
Russians is that they are "the world's most co
lossal liars, swindlers and cutthroats and there
is no reason to think they will change." That
explains both his willingness to condone , any
anti-Russian action on any pretext It explains
also why he told General Clay, "You're damn
right, I'm not sorry" that his (Howley's) walk
out of the council of commandants in 1948 broke

made relations with the communists even more
difficult than before. ,
As for the American attempts to de-nazify
and democratize Germany, Howley has this to

program the best thing we did in Berlin! to sell

vete of this statement gives some idea of How
ley's usefulness in behalf of the American cause
in Germany. The "teach-em-baseball" program
initiated by the U. S. occupation forces had pre
viously been deplored by Clark and will prob
ably go down in history as one of the colossal,
grim jokes of the post-war era. " "

the chief purpose of the repub

the republican
party is likely
to destroy it
self in the end. 1
That is the on-...,
ly conclusion';
which it seems t
tab keepers for both parties of
the form sheet for the 1930 sen
atorial elections.
vTtaat these analyses are rea
sonably accurate at least as

the fact the
pro fessionals
on both sides
see pretty well

t e p u b 1 leans

with the .dem

three republi
cans who. must
run again this
year must be
placed in the "in very bad trou
ble" category. These are the
blundering- Capehart of Indiana,
HlckenJooper- of Iowa, and the
honest, extremely conservative
Millikin of Colorado. .
In the "running scared class,
the republicans put five men. In
-approximate order of scaredness,
these are: Wiley of Wisconsin,
Dworshak of Idaho. Gurney of
6outh Dakota, Donnell of Mis
souri, and Young of North Da
kota. Aiken of Vermont and

hand, are ' considered as safe as

rors in the original planning or by changes of
conditions. Whether changes now warrant fur
ther duplication by creating" a school of physical
education at OSC parallel to that at the univer
sity we do not feel able to pass on for lack of
information.
This is true, however: The money require
ments of higher education are high, very high.
Also, the money requirements of other func
tions are high, very high so high, in fact, that
present sources of income do not appear ade
quate to meet all demands. It, therefore, is in
cumbent on this state board and on all other
state boards and departments to scrutinize very
closely any -expansion which will call for more
expense. Unless some modern Moses can strike
a rock and make it How money abundantly,
someone is going to go away from the legisla
tive spring with any empty cup some day.
Canasty
Maybe it isn't here to stay or maybe it is.
But canasta no longer can be ignored. Do you
play the piano, sing, do card tricks, tell stories
or imitate the big, bad wolf? Well, then how
do you expect to be welcome at parties if you
don't play canasta? And do you know the rules,
all 78,431 of them? My, you're way behind the
times. Weeks behind. Mexico's played it for
years. '
And there are a few1 rules not even in the
rule book. In the public service, we think they
bear listing here:
-Don't mention canasta if you go anyplace be
cause you're sunk if you do.
Don't act like you know anything about it
because you'll get the rules told to you anyway.
Don't ask any questions unless you want to
delay the garae 25 minutes, which may be a
good idea at that.
Don't contradict anyone on anything unless
you don't, want to be asked to come again, which
also might be a good idea.
Don't quote anybody else's rules there's
enough enmity around now.
Don't pay any attention when someone makes
a mistake after all, there's no proof that even
Einstein could do any better.
; Don't indicate you're having fun or another
game will be unavoidable.
Always insist on keeping score it's the only
way to win.
i But at that, canasta is something to keep the
family circle together. And what can do more!

Secretary Acheson's comment indicates he is
suffering a little from Hissteria.
J. Edgar Hoover told the house appropriations
committee there is "considerable merit" in the
proposal to prohibit interstate shipments of slot
machines and gambling devices. He says it would
certainly slow up the operations of gambling
syndicates. Such a prohibition might be benefi
cial because there seems to be a single major
source of supply for all these machines. Still
needed, though, is firm local law enforcement.
Where police and sheriffs and district attorney
do their job, the machines disappear. Where
they look the other way the machines appear
out of nowhere and probably would continue
to appear despite banning them for interstate
shipment. v

vious Styles Bridges, might Just
conceivably lose New Hampshire
to the republicans. Kansas Is al
most constitutionally republican.
Finally, Taft of Ohio is consid
ered an odds-on bet, partly be
cause the democrats have been
.unable to dredge up a reasonably
strong candidate to run against
him
The democratic form sheet tal
lies very closely with this re
publican, estimate. And what is
interesting about the list is sim
ply that the eight shakiest re
publicans are-among the staun
chest enemies of "me-too-ism"
in the senate, 'whereas the pro
gressive or moderately conserv
ative republicans (among whom
1 Taft, on his domestic record,
must be counted) are consid
ered either very strong or down
right unbeatable.
As . for the other side 'of the
coin, republican hopes may be
briefly listed. Able Governor
Duff of Pennsylvania is given
an excellent chance to beat
Pennsylvania's democratic Sen.
Francis Myers, provided Duffs
battle with the prehistoric Grun
dy machine does not too gravely
weaken him. If he can be per
suaded to run, publisher Henry
Luce is believed a very good bet
to beat newly - appointed Wil
liam Benton of Connecticut, and
Rep. John Lodge is currently
being considered to take ' on
Connecticut's well entrenched
Brien McMahon. . '
The republicans hope that
California's Rep. Richard Nixon
can ride Into the enate on his
reputation as a scourge of the
reds. There is also some rather
wistful talk of persuading nble
former republican Sen. John
.Sherman Cooper to run against
Garrett Wither of Kentucky, on
the grounds that only Cooper
could win in popular Vice-President
Alben Barkley's home
state.

Magnuson, and - Utah's Elbert '
Thomas are considered vulner
able democratic targets, if strong
republicans can be found - to
challenge them. As for. New
York, it is privately conceded
that the only real hope of elim
inating Herbert Lehman Is the
faint chance that Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey may decide to run
against him.
Again the democratic estimate
tallies except that the demo
crats assert with apparent as
surance that at worst only two
or three of these republican
hopes are at all likely to be re
alized. But what is Interesting
about this list of republican
hopes is that it precisely con
firms the conclusion to be drawn
from the list of republican fears.
As always there are exceptions
for example, former Rep. Ev
erett Dirksen, campaigning In a
fashion to warm the cockles of
CoL Robert E. McCormick's
heart, . is considered a serious
threat to the democratic majori
ty leader, Scott Lucas of Illinois.
But in general, republican hopes
are based, not on the Dwor
shaks or Capeharts, but on such
international - minded moder
ates as Luce or Duff or Lodge or
Cooper or even Thomas . Dew
ey, t
And this In turn suggests a
curious political paradox. For
this is. the year when the charge
of "me - tooism", which appar
ently means any deviation from
the brand of republicanism cur
rent in the mos. Is enough to
make the; bravest republican
quail. This Is also the year when
it is increasingly clear that a

RINGWORM Is a fungus para
site which may affect the skin in
any part of the body, but now
here is it more difficult to get
rid of, once it becomes entrench
ed, then in the nails of the hands
or feet. Thickness of the nail
tissue, plus the fact most drugs
cannot penetrate it readily, make
fungi established In these loca
tions almost impervious to attack.
Since this type of ringworm of
ten causes marked deformity of
the nails and may even result in
their permanent loss, word of a
new. and more successful treat
ment than we have had in the
past comes as a boon to many
people.
It is described by Drs. White
and Nickerson, and its success is
due to the fact that the substance
used ammoniacal silver nitrate
is capable not only of killing
the fungi but of penetrating the
nails.;
In carrying out the treatment,
the affected area was painted
once a week with the solution
Just ' described and allowed to
dry. The treated nail turns very
black. However, as the new
nail grows In, it is free from in
fection, and the line between the
treated nail and the new nail
is clearly indicated by the dark
color of the damaged naiL It
was possible to tell whether the
patient was cured by the appear
ance of the nails and the absence
of fungi in scrapings from the
nails.
Sixteen patients were recently
treated; all responded quite fav
orably; nine were cured. Seven
others were definitely improved.
There was no noticeable reac
tion to the treatment in any case.
It was noted that in some pa
tients pain appeared which last
ed for an, hour following treat
ment, but in no case was the
pain severe enough to make it
. necessary to stop the treatment.

Other methods used against
this .condition include X-ray and
sometimes the removal of the af
fected nail, followed by treat
ment with various ointments ef
fective in ringworm of the skin.
Neither has proved to be particu
larly successful, and ringworm
' infection of the nails has been
considered a mora or less incur -
. able disorder.
I In view of the large number
of cures reported from ammoni
acal silver nitrate, it would seem
that it Is well worth trying by
those who have this condition.

Survey Shows Some States
Likely to Lut spending in'50;
Sentiment Against New Tax
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-(A-A few states plan to cut down on
their spending.
That may be more noteworthy than it sounds. Because, If they
succeed, they will buck the trend of 1949, when appropriations across
the country vaulted the record heights.
Moreover, in this election year, there is a strong sentiment against
new uuces.
A survey of state legislatures by
The Associated Press indicates
budgets will be higher in five
states and unchanged or lower in
six others. The budget is not on
the agenda or has not been worked
out in four additional states where
sections will be held this year.
Dewey Predicts Cot
1 Gov. Thomas E. Dewey says
New York's budget for the next
fiscal year will be lower than the
current record outlay of $839,585,
000. South Carolina's budget com
mission figures outgo can be pared
from the current record sum of
$117,000,000 to $115,584,000.
The Iouisiana budget is expect
ed to be under the record $344,
335,000 spent in the 1948-49 peri
od. California's budget is likely to
run close to the record $1,035,000,
000 approved last year. Present in
dications are that the new Mary
land budget wUl Just about equal
the current budget. There are no
changes in Georgia's budget
The Massachusetts budget! Is
reckoned at $223,000,000, a new
peak. Mississippi's budget com
mission figures on a record $106,
621,000. The two-year budgets for
Kentucky and Virginia' show in
creases. Rhode Island's is expect
ed to be a bit higher.
Spending May Decrease '
There is another --and maybe
bigger --economy straw in the
wind. A number of states may hold
down spending In the future by
holding the tax line this year.
Gov. William Preston Lane, Jr
of Maryland aays he will recom
mend, a cut in the state property
tax and more liberal income tax
exemptions. Gov. C A. Robins of
Idaho asked for a reduction in ei
ther the state income tax or ad
valorem tax, or both.
Gov. Paul A Dever i says the
Massachusetts budget can be bal
anced without new or higher tax
es. Pevers a democrat. Republi
can leaders are opposed to more
taxes, too.
New York's Gov. Dewey says
there win be no tax increases. The
republican majority in the New
Jersey senate has taken a stand
against any new taxes. So his Vir
ginia's commission on state and
local revenue.
Talsaadge Oppssea Taxes
Gov. Herman Talmadge of Geor
gia also has taken a stand against
any new taxes at this time. Tal
madge wants to take the state out
of the property tax field and abol
ish 100 "nuisance' levies on bus
inesses and professions.
No new taxes are in sight. Just
now at least, in most of the other
capitals.
Uncle Sam, Incidentally, may
hear from a couple of states on tax
matters.
A resolution introduced in New
York calls for a U. S. constitu
tional amendment that would pro
hibit federal income tax collect
ors from taking more than 25 per
cent of any individual's income.
Sex Crimea Prabed
A member of Virginia's house of
delegates aays he will sponsor a
resolution for a constitutional am
endment that would require the
federal government to return 25
per cent of its revenues to the
states. (The Michigan legislature
approved a somewhat similar idea
last year.)
The rash of jI949 sex crimes. In
cluding many Involving children.
State at liberty Uvesley ftldg. Dial 4-2223
has brought out a batch of bills to
curb them. .
Proposals include: Registering
offenders in New York. Revising
parole laws to make it harder for
convicted sex criminals to get out
of Jail in Mississippi. Providing
medical treatment for people with
abnormal sex traits in Missis
sippi and Idaho.
Massachusetts police chiefs seek
power to arrest men on a charge
of intent to commit a sex crime.
(E. g., trying to lure a child into
a car.)
New Ban uses Planned
A few more states may join the
18 that have approved bonuses for
World war II veterans since 1942.
Bonus measures have been offered
in Kentucky, South Carolina and
Mississippi. One Kentucky bill
would pay a $600 bonus with mon
ey raised by an annual lottery on
the Kentucky derby.
' Significant moves In the states
include these:
Mississippi A move Is under
way to equalize the salaries of,
white and negro teachers. There
may be some changes in Mississip
pi's peculiar liquor situation. The
state is dry but collects $1,000,000
or, more a year in whisky taxes.
Some bills seek to make liquor legal-provided
citizens .so vote at A
referendum. Under the other pro
posals, the tax would be either re
pealed or increased.
Lobby Central Askei
California The chief issue may
be Gov. Earl Warren'c proposal to
tighten the lobbyist control law
enacted last year. That law feU
short of what the governor wanted
to drive "dishonest" lobbyists out
of the eapitol.
New York The most heat may
be generated by a democratic pro
posal for a $200,000,000 state bond
issue to help finance school con
struction in "needy" towns.
Georgia a bin has been Intro
duced to outlaw masks. It Is aim

passage seem doubtful.
