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?

measures. Theirs is a special jandelsfyjnterest Just as.js
that of the truck companies. It is not understandable, how
' ever, why in its argument for the measures the Teamster
should misstate tne lacts as to irucK laxawon us n, uuea m

The assertion of the Teamster is that "In addition to all
nni-mni iitv. miintv - state and federal taxes paid by any
. hnainoaa. trnrlcs also nav other fees and taxes for use of the
highways." 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. Let them pay for the use of the roads and bridges built
to carry the loads the trucks put on them.

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. ! ;

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.

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

ception. But there are so many
things Green doesn't see.
We'd like to see Green, Murray,
Lewis, Truman and Stevenson to

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.

oslovaktan peasants as humar

ment. 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

as to how many others were struck
down or made ill by water from
other polluted wells.

said in- an exclusive interview. "I

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

years later. He became a consult-

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.
