British Quakers See Russia A few weeks ago a deputation of British Quaken journeyed to the Soviet Union where they spent a fortnight interviewing officials and others, and seeing t portion of Russia. Their purpose was the familiar one of the Society of Friends: to bear, their testimony for peace and to urge greater efforts to close the breach be tween east and west. They were permitted to travel to different cities Moscow, Leningrad, Kievand were of course shown many of the communist undertakings: collective farms, or nate stations of the underground railway in Moscow new apartment houses, kindergartens, tc From these observations Gerald Bailey, one of the party, drew certain conclusions which he sl down in an article in the current issue of The Nation: - V ' '.H "These varied excursions, if the word is ap- propria te, made us appreciate the immense stake ; which for domestic reasons the Soviet Union has in the avoidance of world. war. To say this is not to approve its external policies or to minimize the perhaps decisive contributions which the Soviet government has to make to j the insuring of peace. It is simply to recognize ! that the Russians are faced with the moderniza tion of a still largely primitive country cover . ; Ins the bluest single land mass in the world, that they have only touched the fringe of this task as yet, that they have an intense desire to complete it, and that a new war would set the i Job back for decades if not indefinitely." ; ' Bailey recognizes that decisions in Russia rest with the men of the Politburo: "But even they, bearing as they do the responsibility for an un precedented social experiment, may well prefer to discharge it free from the threat or actuality 1 WOT. His conclusion seemf logical. One may brush side the peace doves of the communists, and the peace parades and petitions and the peace ; talks of Russian leaders as part of communist j propaganda. One also may accept the thesis, that Stalin and his associates in the Kremlin are coldly realistic and ready to launch a war if they thought it would pay off. But if, they are realistic they also must assess the cost to Russia In human slaughter, in wreckage of cities, and Industries, in invitation to internal revolution and defection of satellites and in the serious threat to the whole Marxian dream InJ brief Russia has a real stake in peace, as do western Europe and the United States. ' The course for the United States and the west Is to build up military strength so Russia will know it cannot just pick a ripe apple off the tree. At the same time the west must avoid badgering and threatening Russia to a point where it will feel the best defense is attack, i Bailey offers two admonitions to the west: ! "We of the west should guard against self righteousness where our own peaceful inten Uont are concerned and should above all take : care not to fall into the precise errors we at tribute to the Russians. - "Lsstly may I also stress the vital importance of rejecting the temptation to adopt an attitude of complete skepticism with respect to even the snore favorable actions and assertions of the Russians" ' . Much of our own talk and writing is provo cative and contemptuous of Russia; and we seem unwilling to credit any sincerity to Russia's overtures for peace. The Russians are difficult to understand and almost impossible to live with! But better the cold war than a hot one; and better a cold war that moderates into peace than fuses into war. Why can't the west stag a genuine peace offensive and convince Russia of its sincerity? IfiADtQDATfc ODiu Art DETENSE Report on Chiang's Army Those who have reproved our government and j the U.N. for not employing troops of Gene- ralissimo Chiang Kai-shek by turning them j loose on the ! mainland of China to divert the I reds from Korea ought to read the dispatch I from Taipei, Formosa by Albert Ravenholt, cor- j respondent of the Chicago Daily. News. Of the reputed 650,000 soldiers ground forces contain only 120,000 "potential combat effectives. The remaining strength, reports Ravenholt "is com posed of overaged, disease-afflicted soldiers and supernumerary officers." There are 1600 gener-1 ; als and more admirals than combat ships in ac- j , tion. There is a lack of equipment in the hands j of troops who can use it. The deficiencies in supply are due in large measure to gross inefficiency: "Equipment and j i drugs, badly needed by troops In training, have 1 remained in warehouses for months.. The nationalists have followed the old Rus ; sian practice of attaching political officers to 1 I military units two to a company,' who report j onf the activities of. officers and men a sure; means of breaking military authority and mo j rale. 3 This report confirms the view that putting! Chiang's troops ashore on the mainland would result in their slaughter and expose Formosa to i easy conquest. Those who think that they can j rout the Chinese reds by use of the nationalist armies are indulging in wishful thinking. 1 ;i lMW j B9 Acne is one of thrTnoct vU. spread and iTiilnailin of oUaorders. Recent tXadim have shown that one of the possible causes of this eruption of the , skin suy be surplus of male hormones, w&lch act to over stimulata the skin's fat glands. These- LtU structures, techsi cally known as sebaceous r'' consist of a hair root, the fcair itself and a fat-eecreting gland. NarmaHjr, these secretions are forced along the hair and pro pelled to the surfaee. If, for aey reasoo, the free-flow of these secretions is blocked, they act as a plus, causing irritation and the consequent overgrowth of cer tain skin eeQa. Xa this way, blackheads are formed and these in turn lead to pimples and the other manifestations of acne. Some people are predirposed to this condition by a narrowing of the sebaceous aland openinx, due to a tendency to excessive cell growth of the skin. The In carnation of acne usually results from the snecbaalcal Zm suia V the lurrd sebaceous gland and chemical chaaxes ia the Uoodj The usual treatment of act consists to the i. trr the dirt of excessive carbohy drates, that is, starches and sug ars, and also chocolate, Iedlzt4 sari and sptees.

If ever there was a brazen attack on press freedom this would seem to be it. If gam blers in cahoots with public officials can muzzle the press by threats or by process of indictment then they really can take over the country. , The indictments will not stick. Any convic tions that might be obtained In the apparently graft-ridden parish would be squashed on ap peal. But the audacity of the attack on a free and responsible press is alarming. . Congressional Quiz Leo Friedlander, New York sculptor who did some of the statuary at the Oregon state capitol, was sculptor for two of the four statues which are to stand cm granite bases at the entrance to a Arlington Memorial bridge, just behind the Lin coln memorial in Washington. They are massive equestrian statues, done in bronze. Friendland er's subjects are Valor and Sacrifice. The two others by James Earle Fraser are Harvest and Music, the latter tieing in with the Watergate nearby where summer concerts are held. -The statues are. to be unveiled and dedicated in Oc tober, although there is some criticism against placing them near the Lincoln memorial on the ground that their modern form and glitter will detract from the subdued classic beauty of the memorial. : ' ." Marshal Tito's Aims Declaredl in Line with Laborites Socialism Program in En a ' fir JtfarrseriU Blrsins BRDO, Yugoslavia, Aug. 2 During an hour-and-a-half talk with Uarshal Tito in his fifteenth century castle here, I-asked gland ! v t t the Yugoslav ruler to what degree Yugo slavia felt itself found, to follow doctrinaire com munist pattern. "Yugoslavia," Marshal; Tito replied, : "will 'not be bound by doctrinaire approach. We will proceed by trial and error. seekinx u most emctent way. But . we will keep always within the framework- of our basic principles." And these principles? Accord ing to Tito, they call for the abo lition 'of a society in which the minority of the rich can profit aMhe expense of the many and the creation Instead of a state which will assure that the econ omy Is .operated to benefit the majority. "The sssjortty of workers? ' I asked. "No," said TiU..the aaajarity ef people.'

' .- : -v Tito seems to believe in his heresy sufficiently to have taken a number of concrete steps toward liberalization of the Yu goslav economy. The new devel opments caused one important western' diplomat to observe: The riddle of Yugoslav stems from the differences between the official designation of the state as eoi&munist a term which brings to mind the Soviet system -td the practical steps Tito is being forced 'to take to Improve, the oeonomie position - of bis country. Tito may insist on calling-his country communist ' In order to appease the orthodox who at this moment are essential to his regime's continuance In power. But in actuality if he ful fills present plans, he will be . marching, at least to a degree, in the direction of what we in the west describe as British-style social democracy. As Tito's eco nomic ties with the west increase, it may give this trend new im petus."

Twenty Senators, led by Ralph . Flanders (R-Vt) have sponsored a resolution (S Con Res 42) calling for "total world disarmament.' Flanders said Russian disarmament offers axe misleading and wojild leave America weak and Russia strong. J. Q I ' know the" President signed a law in July to let the. U. S. government recruit Mexl can farm laborers. But has Coni , gress appropriated any money so the program can be started? A Yes. Congress completed action August 13 on a bill to give the Department of Labor -$950,000 to recruit and nlsr Mexican laborers. Of the money granted, $750,000 was earmarked for a revolving fund to pay the costs of moving the workers from their homes to reeentfan centers. The 1200,000 remaining is to establish the centers. 3. Q Would the new ittfmu housing law do anything to ease the housing shortage? ! A Generally, the biU would apply only to "critical defense housing areas." It would drop credit restrictions on housing, provide 'government loan guar antees up to 90 per cent on $8,100 for one-family units and $13,000 for two-family units, and permit federal construction if private builders are not interested. How ever, Rep. Howard H, Buff ett (R-Neb) said the bill would re sult in less housing by putting "a damper on private housing.'' 4. Q What state has led in getting defense contract dollars since fighting started in Korea? I AAccording to a survey by Congressional Quarterly; New York received $iA . billion in prime contracts awarded by the military in the 11 'months end ding June 1. The figure is 18.3 per cent of the total. States get ting the smallest amounts less than .05 -per cent each were Delaware, Montana, Nevada and tneoakotas, 8. Q Does control of Congres sional districts often change from one party to another? ' A In the last four elections, party control switched in 100 dis tricts In 25 states, according to a Congressional Quarterly survey. farty control switched once in A No. Pictures never can be taken legally inside the Senate chamber whether the Senate is in session or not. A few photos were taken there during the repair period in the past couple of years, but that's aU. In the House, the Speaker can give permission to take pictures in the House cham ber, but he never does so during a - session except for joint ses sions.' This permission could be granted to a tourist, but it is gen erally restricted to news photog ' rsphers. : . 9. Q- Although the govern ment's fiscal year 18S2 started July 1, I understand Congress ' has not-passed any appropria . tions bills for the year. Is that .so? ; ; :. A No. Appropriations mess , tires have been passed by both houses for the Labor-Federal Se curity Agency, the Independent Offices, the District of Columbia, and the Treasury-Post Office, Interior and Agriculture Depart ments. Other branches of the government are operating on funds provided by the third emergency stop-gap appropria tion. (Copyrlxht tsst. Consrcwlonal Quarterly) Bottor English ' By Dv C Wmixms 1.
