" wldw 1U o rw NOT SO GOOD IN KOREA . , Campaign apologists for the manner in which the Korean war has been conducted under the top direction of state deDartment civilians point out that some 65 points of an amlstke settlement haye been agreed on. Only one remains, just one. Percentage wise that is a pretty good showing gut after all there the one stands and it seems ju"e evident that the whole game of the Commies has-been to drag the nego tiations out and wear us down while they were building up. Reports from Korea are that the Chinese and North Korean armies are highly trained-(which they were not when the armistice talks began) and now have greatly im proved equipment. A victory for the United Nations it s now estimated, would take twice the forces tnat would hav been necessary a year ago. That is what Marguerite Higgins, New York Herald Tribune correspondent, has written. Miss Higgins writes, alsb, that "in mid-summer of 1951, when the Reds asked for tructS talks, the Communist enemy was militarily in retreat and remained so until Un1" Na tions policy severely limited offensive action on the ground (in December, 1951). This limitation, was imposed by Wash ington against the advice of the military leadership m Korea. JuTwhcTlsk in the face of that record, who never had it so good? FRED N.

The trucks do pay fees and taxes for use of the highways but they do not pay aotner taxes, in uregun u motor vehicles are specifically-relieved from the payment of ad valorem taxes the taxes levied against values found by the assessor. - Don't be sorry for the trucks on account of any tax bur den.

It will be In the form of a report to tne u. a. Supreme Court, filed by Attorney William H, Davis of New York, for mer chairman of the War Labor Board. t Mr. Davis was appointed special master to investigate certain as pects of this case in February, 1949, and has Been worKing on u ever since. . 4 ' . If the Davis rcoort is filed before the November election It may have some political impact on the results in rBllffirniln. IjuiislHnH and Toxos. How much effect it will have is, of course, unpredictable. It will de pend on the nature of the special master's findings whether they favor federal title to the off-shore oil rights, states' rights, or a fair compromise between the two. It is usual practice for the Su preme Court to accept a special master's recommendations. But It will take the court some time to make up its mind. So the crisis if any may be passed over tm alter the election. Even. so. the off-shore oil case, as It should be called, is bound to be an issue before Con gress in 1953. ! ; Contrary to general opinion, there Is no dispute over the tidelands the lands between tne average low tide limit in to the high-tide line. The federal government admits those tidelands belong to the states. Uhe disDUte is over the land from the mean low-tme line out to tne Democrats Renew Attacks on Ike WASHINGTON.

IIYPKOCISY (Baker Dcmocfnl-llcraldl The American public in general and labor union members In par ticular are going to bo treated to a rare niece of hytmcrisy on the Taft-Ilnrtley act, which Is however so transparently such that wo can not conceive very many being fooled by it. As the A. F. I., convention mot In Now York the traders began to whip up the feelings of the dele gates for on endorsement of Adlal Slovcnson. who Is on record as not wanlinc the law repealed before ho became n presidential enndidnte. but who now says he does, for rather obvious reasons. ' Said Green: "I do not sec how any trade unionist can support a parly and candidates who support Taft-Hartley," plus much more along tho siimc line. Obviously Green still doesn't understand how the trade unionists of Ohio could ulve Senator Tatt his record break- inir mnlorlty two years ago, In which f aft carried every labor stronghold In the state without ex ception. But there are so many things Green doesn't see. We'd like to see Green, Murray, Lewis, Truman and Stevenson to put their heads together and see If thev could come up with some sensible answers to those simple oupstlons: 1. If the T-lt was actually n slave ) labor lnw, as lnhor leaders said at the tlnic. why did a majority of the Democrats present and vot ing in each house of congress vole for the bill when It was before them for passage in 1947? 2 If It was In fact a slave labor act how Is It that Truman, Stevcn n. el nl. nre now asklns workers to vote Democratic five years later because "you never had It so ..etrirui" ttnw hnn one "never had it so good" when living under a condition ot slavery? 3. How is It that tho Democratic party, which pledged repeal of the law in Its 1948 platform and which has been in control of both houses of congress and the White House continuously since January, 1949 has not repealed the-, low? What prospect is there that the next administration, even if Dem ocratic, will follow n different course? Especially when headed by a president who gave It as his considered judgment that me act shouldn't be repealed. The past five years under the Taft-Hartley act have been the best five years In the history of American labor union member ship, the highest real Wages and the most full employment. Granted that the Tart-Hartley act didn't cause this, any more than Harry Trumnn did, but the law obvious ly didn t nun the workers. It re duced their leader.' power over them and over the country n little not very much hence Is disliked by those power-minded gentry, but it clearly hasn't hurt those who nre asked to conduct an all-out drive for a repeal the labor lead ers know perfectly well can't he gotten through cither a Democratic or a Republican congress. Hypocrisy in politics Is tradition al, but this exceeds the usual prac tice of that dubious art.

Dr. Zdenek V. Moudry, former adviser to the Czechoslovak min istry of public health, said that he personally saw two persons die In 1947 after drinking water from a well that had been deliberately poisoned by the Ruissians in a mass Pioiogicai wariaru cahcw ment. He would not venture a guess as to how many others were struck down or made ill by water from other polluted wells. Die In Car - T drove a cirl who died on the way to the hospital in my car,' he said in- an exclusive interview. "I saw; another person die. Fortun ately5 the Russians only. 'polluted one well In the village or the toll would have been higher." ' Moudry, a stocky man in his late 30's, said a Russian Col. Unkrov ordered the human guinea pig ex periments In six villages near Prague on the -pretext of stamping out an epidemic. Moudry, his wife and his parents were smuggled from under the nos es of Russian communists two years later. He became a consult- ant- to tne u. b. government. tnils'of the escape remain a secret, I but Moudry said that one Czech border guard was executed by the Communists for letting them slip through to freedom. Seeks Clnzensmp Moudry, who has applied for American citizenship; headed a large chemical-producing firm in Prague. In the course of his work he discovered a compound that ap parently could be of great help in overcoming bacterial pollution of water supplies by enemy agents. -: This disinfectant is reputedly so powerful that wells treated with it remain free from bacteria and germs for months, yet it is taste less, odorless and will not harm human beings. It is effective against certain germs in concen trations no lnw as one part in 10.- 000 parts of water. , ; The compound nas a lingering effect so that a canteen or utensil once treated with a small amount of the chemical,, will for a long time disinfect water that is put Into it.
