Commies Get Distorted View
Of Life in U. S. at Youth Festival
The American delegation to the World Youth and Student
Festival in Hungary pictured the United States to the other
delegates as a place where most young people "have no jobs at
all, and walk the streets in search of employment," according
to an article in the current issue of The baturday Evening Post,
In an article entitled "How
Our Commies Defame America
Abroad," Vic Helnemer, a Mon
tana University graduate, gives
a detailed factual report on the
distorted picture of the United
States presented by the Amer
ican delegation to the 10,000
other delegates from all over the
world.
Reinemer was a member of a
small minority group in the dele
gation which attempted unsuc
cessfully to have the truth told
about conditions in the United
States.
Progressives, for instance, and
thirteen from the Association of
Interns and Medical Students,
plus a few free-lance observers
like Huge (his companion) and
myself. New York City seemed to
have the largest representation.
Reinemer was a student at the
time at the Sorbonne in Paris
and knew when he went to the
Festival that an attempt would
be made to impress the dele
gates with the "virtues of com
munism."
Reinemer reports that a bro
chure, printed in four languages
and distributed to other delegates
at a cultural presentation by the
American delegation, said in its
introduction:
"In a time of developing eco
nomic crisis, the few of us lucky
enough to land jobs face declin
ing wages, insecure seniority.
speed-up and campaigns of terror
and sabatoge against our unions.
But the greater part of our young
people have no jobs at all, and
walk the streets in search of em
ployment. "Many of us are former ser
vicemen, our meager veterans'
allotments exhausted, our post
war dreams of full employment
smashed. To the ever louder de
mand of our youth for jobs, all
Wall Street can answer is "Join
the Army."
At the Festival Exhibition
Hall, Reinemer writes, the Amer
ican display featured a picture
of the Statue of Liberty behind
bars.
"Another," h e continues,
"showed a hooded figure hang
ing a Negro. Photographs of
slums represented American
housing. Well, like most Amer
icans, I'm not very proud of
slums or of the Ku Klux Klan,
and I'm not surprised when com
munists play them up.
"But I was surprised to see
these things presented by the
American delegation as typical
of our country. A number of us
felt that our display should show
sumething more positive about
the United States as well as these
blemishes. But we didn't get to
first base with that idea."
Reinemer says "things were
different at the Soviet pavilion,'
adding: "The pictures there were
bright, modern day nurseries.
beautiful school buildings, hos
pitals and resorts.
The "obvious distortion" in
the picture of the United States
conditions was "almost funny,'
Reinemer comments until he
realized that to many people
"this was simply confirmation
of what they had been told."
He continues: "After all, we
were Americans, representing
our country. Certainly they could
take our word for 11, When I
realized that, it no longer seemed
funny at all."
Reporting on the makeup of
the ZOO-member American dele
gation, Reinemer says they were
about equally divided between
gins and Doys, whose average
age was twenty-two.
"Half a dozen were Negroes,
he says. Ninety-five were stu
dents, thirty trade-unionists, and
the others for the most part rep

This will be a cooperative. All

to hire a full time technician in

For ten cows It would cost 110 mem

America's Potential in Next
Hundred Years Held Rosy
Prophets of doom and Americans despairing of the future
will find some compelling reasons for altering their views in an
article by Dr. Harold B. Moulton, president of Brookings Founda
tion, in the February American magazine.
America's potential achievements in the next hundred years are
rosy indeed, says Dr. Moulton?
who adds that "the unfilled de
sires of the great bulk of the
American population provide the
essential foundation for almost
limitless economic expansion.
While making it clear in his
article that he is "depicting the
kind of life we can have, not
what we necessarily will have,"
the noted economist declares:
Our resources in sight are
abundant enough to permit us
to double our population in the
next 100 years and at a plane
of living eight times as high as
we know today.
"We can achieve this kind
of future, however, only if our
nation adheres to wise policies.
Our nation must show greater
care in conserving our remain
ing natural resources ... we
must take advantage of every
scientific and technoligical ad
vance to increase our produc
tivity . . . we must encourage,
rather than snipe at, large-scale
businesses . . . we must get the
U.S. on a 'sounder financial
basis ... we must increase the
spending power of the average
American as fast as expanding
productivity permits . . . and,
most important of all, we must
protect and promote free enter
prise in America."
Such things as plastic yachts,
personal planes, power from the
sun. far greater abundance in
food homes, clothes, health and
education can be ours if our
way of life and the free enter
prise system from which it stems
is preserved, says Dr. Moulton.

What Constitutes Tramp?
Philadelphia, Feb. 8 W Judge Charles L. Guerin of quar
ter sessions court was confronted with two pretty good ques
tions yesterday: What is the definition of a tramp and is It
illegal to be one?
Those posers were raised when Benjamin Cokley. 23, was
brought before the jurist on charges of being a tramp.
Assistant District Attorney Raymond A. Speiser consulted
the Pennsylvania penal code and came up with a quotation
from section 617:
"Whoever goes from place to place begging or subsisting on
charity, who has no fixed place of residence or legal occupa
tion in the city or county where arrested, shall be deemed
guilty of being a tramp and therefore guilty of a misde
meanor." That, Speiser said, seemed to make Cokley a tramp under
the law. Judge Guerin concurred but gave Cokley a suspended
sentence with the understanding he would return to South
Carolina, where he originally lived.
Moulton explains, that our re
sources should permit us in the
coming century to expand our
spending in this manner:
1. Shelter and home main
tenance about 16 times.
2. Attire and personal care
about 20 times.
3. Health and education
about 30 times.
4. Recreation and travel
about 33 times.
Furthermore, he reports, t
study of communism, state so
cialism, free enterprise, and hy
brid types where the latter op
erates under the overhead con
trol of government leads to this
conclusion:
"The only economic system
sufficiently dynamic in charac
tor to assure us of enjoying a
century of abundance is free en
terprise, modified by govern
ment regulations designed to es
tablish 'rules of the game , but
not to take over the role of
management."

Morse Asks Justice
Instead of H-Bombs
Madison, Wis., Feb. 8 U.P-
Sen. Wayne Morse. R., Ore., has
called for a three-point program
to save world peace lest man
kind lose its "happiness for gen
erations to come."
A University of Wisconsin al
umnus, Morse told a Founders'
Day banquet Monday night that
the bi-partisan foreign policy
should be revived, that freedom
loving peoples should unite in a
peace front, and that they should
set up a world order "capable
of substituting international ju
dicial decrees for hydrogen
bombs.
"We must demonstrate that we
tand ready to join with Russia
and other nations in an effective
plan for international control of
the manufacture of atomic and
hydrogen bombs," he said.
Morse said a "little group" in
the Republican party was bent
on wrecking U. S. bipartisan
foreign policy.
"I'd like to tell that little
group in the Republican party
seeking to destroy bipartisan
foreign policy that there are
republicans who will take them
on if they try to play politics
with the peace of the world," he
said.
