Vishinsky Wins "on Points"
I The interchange of notes between Ambassador
Allan G. Kirk and Foreign Minister Vishinsky
did nothing to soothe relations between the Un
ited States and Russia. Vishinsky used the op
portunity to emit a loud propaganda blast "and
cleverly turned against the United States a quo
tation from President Truman, and the latter
has worsened our situation by reiterating his
charge.
I Mr. Kirk had sought to atir up Soviet activity
In behalf of an armistice in Korea, a foolish
move by our state department, for it gave Vish
insky the chance to say very blandly that Rus
sia had nothing to do with the Korean war! Then
heproceeded to itemize his bill of particulars on
th7 charge that the United States was the ag
gressor: "waging war against the Korean peo
ple," building bases around the Soviet Union,
rearming Germany and Japan. His choicest cut,
however, was to say that as far as worsening
relations between the United States and Russia
is concerned, "it.is only barely possible to ima
gine that these relations can worsen more after
President Truman stated to the whole world
4Kf ttrfrAamanf, nrttK tfiA Qiviof TTnifrt firo Tint
worth the paper they are written on." And Pres
ident Truman compounded his offense by reiter
ating this charge against Russia.
! Thus Vishinsky made it look as though Tru
man, after kicking the USSR in the face had
come hat-in-hand soliciting its support for set
tling the Korean affair. Ayery poor posture for
Truman, indeed.
No matter how faithless the Russians may be
the president was foolish to make such a re
mark because it was used to slam the door in
our faces. We get nowhere in a verbal slugfest
with the USSR. Taxing though Russia is to our
patience we need to observe international amen
ities, and be specific Tather than general in our
accusations. The president's sweeping statement
in effect jwould foreclose any diplomatic deal
ings with Russia, a quite impossible situation.
On this exchange of unpleasantries a referee
(and he would have to be from "another planet)
would have to give , the decision to Vishinsky
"on points." j
for granted that its readers must "have reached
jan economic niche above the mass stratum"
(Which explains the $2 price tag per copy) but
jit also specifies:
f I "It is always why, why, why, with these 100,
i 000 . men who look no different from all the
i i others; who may have more or less wealth than
I i many others; who may do any kind of work, or
I no work at all, for their daily bread. They want
I I always to knew more, so that they may eontii
1 1 bate more to people near them and to the world .
j in which they live; they want to give more so
i 1 that they can gain mare for each breath, each
I hour, each day, each year of their lives."
I I It's noble of Gentry to undertake to answer
rwhy, why, why for 100,000 thinking gentlemen,
I but we sadly note that Gentry doesn't want any
peasants to get their caloused hands on those
answers, that tweed, that tobacco leaf, that toy
Packard: "We are not extending this invitation
in mass media. Gentry will not be on news
stands. ! Which is mighty democratic of them, Real
folksy-like. And which prompts us to ask (with
lis it is always why, why, why) : If Gentry real
ly has something for the Joneses, if Gentry real
ly has answers to the questions of thinking peo
ple, isn't Gentry taking itself right out of the
thoughtful class which "contributes more to tha
world" by limiting itself to a small minority?
We predict that Gentry will suffer the same fats
that befell the late Flair, a very decorative and
entertaining but also very class-conscious snob
I among periodicals, and that nobody need ask
why, why, why.

Dock Business Rises
To Singapore Record
SINGAPORBMff)-The docks In
Singapore handled the biggest
Something for the Joneses .-,
t Once upon a time, the U.S.A. had an Upper
400 or so. These remarkable Chosen People (we
target who chose them) were the top men on'
the totem pole.
' Now this country has 100,000 men who con
stitute the Joneses that advertising men hope
everyone else tries to keep up with. The reason
we know the Brahman class numbers 100,000, or
even exists, is because we read an advertisement
about Gentry, a new magazine out this month.
Its publishers modestly proclaim that it is fare
for, and will "either elate the top 100,000 think
ing men in this country, or be a miserable flop."
What interests us here is not so much the fact
that Gentry will amuse the gentry with such
tricks of the publishing" trade as including a
real swatch of tweed with an article on same, a
real trout fly with a piece on fishing, a real to
bacco leaf with an appropriate essay, real plans
for installing a real Finnish steam bath in your
"very own home, or a suitable-for-framing re
production of the 1904 Packard Tonneau. What
interests us is that the readers who finger the
ted, fondle the trout fly, sniff the tobacco leaf,
and cut out the paper car will be the top 100,000
"thinking" men in this country.
You see what has happened? Back when we
had only 400, the main characteristic of the Man'
of Distinction was his standing with Dunn &
Bradstreet. Now that's not enough. Gentry takes
Deschutes Potatoes Champs
I i For years there has been spirited competition
I 1 - A. J. A . M T 1 l .
peiween potato growers oi. uescnuxes county
and those of Klamath county on the quality of
their products. Klamath produces by far the
larger quantity of potatoes but Deschutes grow
ers (aided and abetted by the Bend Bulletin)
I raised claims to superior quality for the spuds
(they grow. Once editors on this side of the state
received bags of spuds from both for testing;
but that ended in "no decision." This year for
j the first time the Klamath basin potato show
at Merrill admitted competition from the out
jside and growers in the central Oregon district
made a clean sweep of the first three places in
jthe competition. John Susac, grower from near
(Bend was declared the champ for his entry.
Of course this is only for one show, and next
j year the results may be different. We are heavy
( potato consumers on this side of the mountains,
and welcome the imports both from Klamath
j; and Bend It does look, however, that, as usual,
I Bob Sawyer and the Bend Bulletin are correct.

BIRTH OF A WORLD: BOLI
VAR IN TERMS OF HIS
PEOPLES, by Waldo Frank
(Houghton Mifflin; $5) '
When he was 22 years old,
and in Rome, married and al
ready widowed, Caracas-born
Simon Bolivar swore that he
would never rest "till I have
broken the chains of Spain". It
was about two decades later, in
1824, that; Sucre's victory at
Ayacucho effectively ended
Spain's claims on Bolivar's con-
. tinent. Yet when the "liberator",
escaping assassins who felled
Sucre, succumbed to illness only
six years after Ayacucho, the
governor of Maracaibo could note
the death of "the genius of evil,
torch of anarchy, oppressor of his
fatherland";
Son of a rich family establish
ed for some generations in South
America, : with ' the means to
travel In Europe, Bolivar had the
advantage of a liberal tutor. He
was a follower of Miranda's,
blamed himself for the loss of
Puerto Cabello, then turned his
commander over to the Spanish,
by a fluke, and was nearly trap
ped himself:
Long a recognized authority,
perhaps the North American au
thority on South American cul
ture, Frank has been at work
several years on the biography of
this controversial figure. Separat
ing as fir as .possible the legend
and myth from the facts, Frank
calls Bolivar "the culture hero of
our continent". His account of
Bolivar's able campaigns, which
eventually freed half a dozen
countries, as we count them today,-
from the Spanish yoke; and
the story of the struggles with
touchy or jealous fellow rebels
makes absorbing reading. But it
is, finally, Bolivar the man who
is emphasized. He is called the
first of the Latin-American revo
lutionaries to be a native and
indigenous, instead of European
or North American, revolution
ary. You may find that the "Span
ish imperial quality of Bolivar is
obscured" even more for you
than If or this author. You will
appreciate, just the same, the
fresh significance ascribed to
Bolivar as phophet of an Atlan
tic world, as a sort of all-Ameri-
can ideal so free. of racial pre
judice he didn't even know what
it was.

Examination of Past Records for Pro-Red
Leanings Leads to Nonsensical Situations
! ' By Joseph Alsop

haps the strangest characteristic

t o r y. Because

; before senatorial bars to answer
the charge of pro-communism.
Br way of contrast, a man like
Philip Jessup, who took a thor
oughly pernicious part in the
("America First' movement,
proudly drapes the "American
First" mantle around his should
ers to prove that he is not a com
munist. And far from suggest-
' lng that an extreme American
Urster may not have the kind of
judgment needed for a post of
high responsibility, everybody
waga his iiead and says, "Ah,
that's a strong point in Jessup's
favor." TheWhole business has
become nonsensical. -
t These reflections are Inspire
y this reporter's carious experi
ence f sitting for long, weary
bears, waiting te take his tan
en the stand, while Robert Mor
ris, Ceonsel of Sen. McCarran's
snheeaualttee en internal securi
ty, grilled Denrj A. Wallace en
elected tiny morsels from the
iistact past One of the main
ssajectt of inquiry was a rather
tax pamphlet WsUsce wrote far
the lastUate of Pacific Relations
la 1944. called "Oar Job In The
racifJerXorris treated this u
raparing -ten cents worth as
though M were a red-bot bomb,
eenreeted in the secret cellars of
the Kremlin.
i
The pamphlet did not mention
American armsj for the Chinese
communists. Itdld not mention
coalition in China. Indeed, it did .
not even touch upon the Chinese
communists at all, while it in
cluded a glowingly laudatory ref
erence to Chiang Kai-shek. These
points were not remarked upon.'.
The pamphlet jwas also anti
colonial in general tone. An
American who sympathizes with
colonies struggling to be free is
not by definition pro-communist.
Yet as far as J this implication
could be left upon the record,
Morris left it.
. h
The great point that Morris
made, however, was that poor
Wallace was pro -communist in a
series af waffling expressions of
hope that the Soviets would be
nice after the war. In brief. Wal
lace had written that the Rus
sians had shown good faith by
not previously interfering in
Chinese af airs (which was wrong,
since Marshal Stalin was the first
te give active aid te Generalissi
mo Chiang Kai-shek in the war
against Japan). 'He had written
farther that he believed the Rus
sians had no Imperialist aspira
tions, and that he hoped the Rus
sians. Chinese and Americans
would all be able te co-operate
cosily in the post-war world.
? ?
As Morris droned on with his
accusatory questions, this re
porter automatically sought dis
traction in an article in the well
known fellow-travelling publica
tion, "Amerasia.! This article
turned out to contain generous
Quotations from two other papers,
by the Morris system also by
inference fellow - travelling,
life- and The New York
Times." In the f spring of 1944,
the. "Life" editorial had com
mented on an unusually venom
ous attack on Generalissimo Chi
ang Kai-shek's government by
the Time-Life correspondent, in
China, Theodore White. Repro
ducing a few of the more choice
' - M
White epithets, the "Life editors
remarked: "The U. S. cannot ig
nore the fact that if China's gov
ernment should become a fascis
tic, power - hungry, repressive,
landlordsVand-usurers' govern
ment, it is all too likely to get
into trouble with Russia; where
as a government which stands
for freedom, reform and inter
national co-operation is not. Un
der no circumstances would the
American people ever wish to be
embroiled with the Soviet Union
in a struggle in which they would
feel politically on the wrong
side."
This -Life" editorial, so close
ly paralleling- Wallace, except
that he was genial towards the
Generalissimo, closed with the
prediction that if the Chinese
would only be "freedom-loving,
'progressive," there would be na
trouble with the Soviets, As for
the ."New Tork Times," In -the
fall of 1944 its eidtorial page
j ringingiy called upon President
' Roosevelt te "make it clear to
Chiang that his prestige wiU be
enhanced, not diminished, if he
takes certain steps." Among these
steps were ceasing to "hold a
great part of (his armies) on
guard duty against his political
opponents (the Chinese commun
ists)"; making "a genuine truce
with the Chinese communists";
and consenting "to take into his
government members of the re
presentative groups and parties."
Here, in the "New York Times,"
was strong stuff indeed. Here
was open advocacy of several
points that the eminent profes
sional ex-communist, Louis Bu
denz, had testified on oath be
longed to the communist party
line. Here was worse than Wal
lace, with a vengeance. But who
was on the stand? Why, Wallace
of course, under charges of pro
communism. The reader can find
his own language to characterize
this sort of thing. -

America could not relax the
pressure on its citizens to con
form to an approved style of life
and learn something from the
leisureliness of Europe."
The students this year had lit
tle interest in politics. For one
reason the proportion of girls
was much greater and had more
interest in aesthetics particularly
music. (They had attended many
music festivals.) One subject
which took two mornings was
the place of women in European
society, which led to this con
clusion: "No American girl, it
seems, would change places with
a European girl but if she had
to she would be happiest in a
Scandinavian country."
One thing which disturbed the.
returning I Americans was the
discovery that Americans are not
universally; loved. It wasn't only
the communists who were criti
cal of the ;USA, and the Euro
pean lecturers found they had to
allay the ("guilt-feelings" of the
Americans that had been stirred
by the "silly" charges of Euro
pean youth.
Our youthful ambassadors,
however, did score in certain
directions. Writes the Guardian's
correspondent:
"The American student,
whether he; is political or not, is
a charming creature. His social
ease is amazing. His manners
are excellent. He will rise to
his feet and expose his ignor
ance or expound his knowledge
with cheerful aplomb. ... Again
and again j one was impressed
with the earnestness of Ameri
can youths its freedom from I
cynicism, and often its unspoiled
simoilicity.f
What we need is more of travel
abroad for Americans, and more,
much more of travel by foreign
ers in this country. Some Euro
pean students are in America,
under various exchange or aid
plans, but not in numbers com
parable to Americans who go
abroad for summer travel-study
courses, j !
It is not enough to travel and
see conditions in other lands,
and to get acquainted with their
peoples. Those who travel need
also to be conscious that they
are under observation, that their
- manners and their ideas and
their intelligence are under scru
tiny. That would help to remove
some of the smugness and as
sumption of superiority (based
often onlyi on wealth) which
have drawn criticism against
Americans.!
Aided by Antihistamines
Of all the conditions which
plague human-kind, severe itch
ing can be one of the most ex
asperating. One of the most fre
quent sites for such itching is
around the opening of the lower
bowel and, when it occurs in this
area, it forms the uncomfortable,
embarrassing, and often neglect
ed disorder known as pruritus
ani.
Pruritus, more often affects
men than women, is most com
mon in those from 20 to 45 years
of age, and occurs more frequent
ly maong office workR-s who sit
all day than among those follow
ing occupations demanding phys
ical activity.
The predominant symptom is
severe itching around the rectum.
The skin, usually red and irri
tated, may be dry or moist. Cracks
or fissures form around the rectal
opening, since the skin there be
comes very brittle and cracks eas
ily. The itch is constant and tha
urge to scratch is great.
Among the conditions which
lead to pruritus ani are worry,
overwork, and alcoholism. Dis
orders of the bowel may also
cause this condition. Diabetes,
liver, or gallbladder disease, too,
may have some influence in caus
ing it. Pinworm infection, espe
cially in children, may be a fac
tor. Eating highly-seasoned food,
drug reactions, and nervous con
ditions, of the bowel are some
times reported as causes.
The treatment of pruritus ani
depends upon the cause. The pa
tient should be examined care
fully to determine whether or not
some local disorder is present. If
the condition is severe, hot or
cold applications, or the two used
alternately, may bring some re
lief. When the itching is caused
by an infection, the use of peni
cillin ointment locally may be of
some help.
The patient should be instruct
ed not to use soap or water or
rough toilet paper until the area
is healed. The application of a
soothing anesthetic ointment may
be of some benefit. Recently, it
has been shown that the ami
histaminic drugs, in the form of
ointments, are of great aid in
relieving the condition.
Since the itching may be made
worse by improper diet, such as
excessive carbodydrate intake,
roughage should be eliminated
from the diet and the starch con
tent reduced. Hydrochloric acid,
given by mouth, may also be of
some! help. The use of alcoholic
beverages should be stopped. In
some cases, soma simple psychi
atric ! treatment may do more
than all other measures to help
the condition.
