German Children
Work Against
War-Like Toys
By Werner Stangenberg
(United Pm Staff Correspondent)
Berlin IP Santa Claus may
get a pleasant surprise when he
visits some Berlin homes on
Christmas eve. German children
are becoming particular, and
don't want to "play war" any
more.
More than 400 children, repre
senting approximately 200 west
Berlin schools at the "School
Parliament," have agreed to ban
militaristic toys. The assembly,
sponsored by American-controlled
RI AS radio, deals exclusively
with questions concerning youth.
Boys and girls, ranging in age
Xrom 10 to 18, decided to canvass
west Berlin toy shops urging shop
keepers to demilitarize their
Hock and display posters saying
f"We do not sell any militaristic
toys."
The shop - haunting was the
brain-child of. Wolfgang Hanel,
a 19-year-old university student,
who commented:
Useful To Hitler
"Simply condemning militaris
tic toys does not take us any
where. Yet we have to do some
thing. I know personally how
much toy manufacturers helped
Hitler to raise love for the Ger
man Wehrmaoht even in very
small children. I myself was once
very fond of tanks and battle
ships, and wanted with all my
heart to become a soldier."
After five days of crusading,
34 sore-footed teen-agers gath
ered at the RIAS building to ex
change experiences and make
their reports.
They had visited 95 shops,
found 66 owners wflling to co
operate, received 15 doubtful
promises, and faced 14 blunt re
jections. The young crusaders explained
that the doubtful promises con
sisted mostly of the pledge to
deal no longer with military
styled toys after the existing
stock was sold.
Some Resistance
The youthful committee consid
ered two refusals particularly
noteworthy. A shopkeeper in the
U.S. sector, Templehof borough,
said:
"The German children should
be granted the right to play with
the same toys given to children
of other nations. Of course, I do
not sell any 'foreign-dressed tin
soldiers but I will certainly sell
true German toy soldiers, if I
can get any."
A store owner in the Sehoena-
berg borough observed: "Firsr
take care that the foreign troops
withdraw, then go ahead and
start a drive like this."
The young delegates put their
stamp of approval on one of Ber
lin's popular toys, the jeep, pro
vided it does not bear military
insignia or carry uniformed sol
diers. '
Unarmed airplanes also were
approved. The excited crusaders
remembered the airlift planes
that kept them and their parents
from starving for almost a year
during the Berlin blockade.
BLACK-EYE PEAS DON'T POP
Memphis, Tenn. U Mrs. Fer
rell McDaniel suggested that her
daughters, 11-year-old Marie and
7-year-old Linda, pop some corn.
A long while later, the girls re
ported that the corn would not
pop. Mrs. McDaniel checked and
found they were trying to pop a
sack of black-eyed peas.

Vancouver, B.C., Jan. 23 mi
The Royal Canadian air force suc

a marooned diabetic patient after
an airlift completed 20-flights to
take 700 passengers from trains
in interior British Columbia.
Some 1,500 passengers in 30
trains were stranded Friday by
snow slides which blocked all rail
way lines in British Columbia.
Officials of the Canadian Nation
al railway and Canadian Pacific

restored.
Some 700 passengers were shut
tled from Kamloops. Pentieton,
Edmonton and Calgary to Van
couver by plane Sunday. Trans
Canada Airlines carried out five
flights and Canadian Pacific Air
lines had 21 flights, including five
from Calpary to Vancouver.
Weather Colder
The air force was pressed into
service when it parachuted a sup
ply of insulin for a woman dia
betic trapped in a stranded CNR
train at Stout, 113 miles from
here.
Colder air promised for tonight
was expected to ease the flood
threat to ice-choked rivers. .
The trans-Canada highway
from Chilliwack to Hope Was
opened last night after workmen
cleared a 1,500-foot snow slide at
Flood. '
Power was restored at Chilli
wack Sunday following a' break

Attack on FBI
Draws Rebuttal
By Fred Mullen
(United Press Staff CorreB)Kndent)
Washington, Jan. 23 IP At
tdrney General J. Howard Mc
Grath firmly backed the FBI and
its director, J. Edgar Hoover, to
day in the face of a bitter attack
from a left-wing lawyer group.
A weighty legalistic document
attacking the FBI was made pub
lic last night by the National
Lawyers Guild. The group has
been called a communist front
by the house un-American activ
ities committee.
The .guild asked McGrath to
ha t what It called tne mi s il
legal investigation practice a.nd
asked President Truman to or
der a "citizens committee" inves
tigation of the bureau.
McGrath was on the air almost
simultaneously with an endorse
ment of Hoover and FBI meth
ods. He said both have his com
plete confidence.
"They have never let me
down," he said In a Gannett news
service broadcast, "and so long
as they continue in the future as
they have in the past, 1 snail sup
port their everv eflort.
Out to "Get" Hoover
McGrath did not mention the
guild by name. The organization
made it clear that it is out to
"get" Hoover and to discredit his
agency.
Its attack was based on an
"c.nalysis" of 28 confidential re
norts the FBI was forced to in
troduce in last year's espionage
trial of Judith Coplin here, plus
testimony in the pre-trial hearing
of her case in iNew xorK.
It said the FBI, originally set
up in 1924 to combat organized
crime, has been turned into a
"thought police" which resorts to
such "illegal" means as wire tap
ping, mail interception and un
authorized search. It said its mass
loyalty check of government em
ployes "threatens the mainspring
of the democratic process."
The guild claimed its "analysis"
justified ils demand on Mr. Tru
man for an independent investi
gation of FBI methods. The pres
ident has ignored similar guild
protests in the past and is expect
ed to do so again.

Philippines Face Communist
Danger From Within, Claimed
Rv Kalnh TratKorth
(United Preu Staff Correapondant)
Manila mi The Philippines, as
a next-door netgnoor to commu
nism, Is in greater danger of be
ing communized from the inside
than from the outside, in the opin
ion of competent American ob
servers here.
A United States official, during
an "of the record" discussion,
said:
"There is nothing at present
which would arouse fears of a
communist invasion of the Philip
pines from abroad. The danger is
from within."
The Philippines has had a both
ersome law and order problem
since the end of world war II,
some of it stemming directly
from communist leaders.
No accurate figures are. avail
able on communist party mem
bership here, but party officials
are working openly in Manila la
bor unions, and with a price on
their heads in the rice-paddy
areas of Luzon. Chinese commu
nists are known to have a large
underground organization.
American officials and business
men believe that the key to pre
serving me f nuippines as a mo
del of democracy in the Orient
is a sound democracy for the lit
tle offspring republic of the Unit
ed States.
Admittedly, it will be a hard
Job to keep the Philinnjnes sol
vent. The three-and-one-half year
old republio always has had an
uniavoraoie trade balance. Re
cently It has become alarming be
cause or tne decline in American
dollar payments of war rehabili
tation and other obligations. Such
United States payments virtually
will cease In 1951.
In the - closine weeks of 1949.
the Philippine government order
ed a series of economic controls
placing all foreign trade financial
transactions in the hands of the
central bank, which has power to
regulate the escape of dollars as
it sees lit.
The measures began with con
trols on luxury and non-essential
imports and were extended Quick
ly to controls of credit for pur-
.cnases aoroad of foreign ex
change, of exports, and of gold
holdings and transactions. The
United states cooperated by issu
ing military scrip instead of dol
lars to its armed forces in the
Philippines to help fight the dol
lar DiacK marKet.
The United States government
is understood to have suggested
rigid Import controls as early as
juiy, lit-rj, out actual imposition
was delayed until after the na
tional elections. The United States
had nothing officially to do with
other controls but concurred that
they were logical steps in regu
lating the country s economy.
"The success of the controls de

pends upon"-the way they are ad
ministered," a highrAmerlcan of
ficial said. "If administered prop-
ly and honestly, they can save
the Philippines from economic
chaos. For one thing, they should
increase local industries because
foreign purchases
will decline
sharply."
Informed Americans fear that
unless the Philippines can become
self-sufficient or nearly so, and
unless It can achieve a favorable
trade balance to conserve Its dol
lar reserves, the economic difficul
ties of the nation could produce
serious social unrest.
Mass unemployment and pov
erty in the Philippines would play
Into the hands of the MUKDaianap,
communist-led peasant army,
and Chinese communists who are
known to have infiltrated in con-.
siderable numbers. These groups
and some others which are not
communistic almost certainly
would take advantage of a bad
economic situation to try to over
throw the government.
I hope that the Philippines
won't make the same mistakes
as China," one American official
said. . , ,
