. ARE WE GETTING INTO A NEW WAR?
Is the United States netting involved in this Indo-China
war which our government has vowed and our people are
resolved shall not involve American ngnting men .'
This question is prompted by the revelation that we are
aending 400 Air Force technical men to that country to
service aircraft for the French Union forces. They will
not fight but thev will directly aid those who do, filling
the same role as Kussians have presumaoiy mien in uie
Korean war.
The French are in a bad way in Indo-China. They have
fought for several years and arc farther from victory than
ver, for the Chinese are stepping up their help to the Indo.
China Communists. They may intervene actively now mai
they no longer support a war in Korea.
Indo-China has been charged off long since by the
French as a future asset. 3 hey fight hardly knowing wny
thev fitrht. a heavv drain that nromises them no benefit
whatever. It is now a war of
east Asia out of Communist hands, but just as the
got stuck with the main job in Korea, so the French are
stuck.with the one in Indo-China and they are increasingly
reluctant to carry the burden.
All this is understandable and we can sympathize. Fur
ther, our government is resolved to do all it can to keep the
French going. It has taken over much of the financial
burden, without protest from the American people, who
realize the seriousness of the situation. Chinese conquest
of all Southeast Asia would probably follow the fall of
Indo-China, which would be a disaster.
But we have resolved until now to keep our own men
out. Now we are sending them in, a sharp break with
previous policy. Are they soon to be fighting another war
congress didn't declare and our people didn't want?
We do not question the resolution of the administration
to keep Americans out of the fighting, but they and we
are being gradually drawn into what may be as costly and
hopeless a struggle as that in
UNNECESSARY NEW FEDERAL COURTS?
A bill to create 30 additional federal district and circuit
court judgeships has just passed the senate and been sent
. to the White House for the president's signature. We've
a "strong suspicion he ought to make a careful investiga
tion before he affixes his signature and makes it the law
of the land.
Two developments make us suspicious that not all these
judgeships are needed. One is for Idaho, which has always
heretofore gotten along nicely with one judge, an elderly
man well past the prime of life, but who seems to have kept
up with the work satisfactorily. At least we never heard
a complaint while we lived in Idaho. He has never to our
knowledge complained of overwork. And the Boise States
man declares flatly that there is no need whatever for an
additional judgeship in Idaho.
Development No. came in the senate where a senator
declared that two judgeships'' .were added in Utah and
Nevada to appease two "contentious" senators from those
states. He did not mention names but the reporter said
he referred to Watkins of Utah and McCarren of Nevada.
Their votes appear to have been needed to get the bill
through the senate and they exacted a price in the form
of two additional judgeships.
These incidents prompt a question as to how many other
judgeships out of the HO provided in the bill are equally
unnecessary. Senators are very prone to promote judge
ships with a view of filling them with their friends, but it
is a costly way to reward friends. The jobs are for life
with liberal retirement benefits. With each new court
goes a costly upkeep setup, which the taxpayers must
carry from that date on. It is tragic to create such agen
cies if they are not genuinely needed. . ,
A 'MOWGU'IN REAL LIFE

his "Jungle" books. One of the graphic tales was about
"Alowgli," a native boy reared in the wilds of India by
wolves. Whether the story was based on native traditions
as probable or a product of Kipling's lively imagination is
not known, but that the logical result on the boy was
accurately described is confirmed by a recent news dis

WASHINGTON MERRY
Nobody in Brazil Getting
Profits From Coffee Rise
By DREW
WASHINGTON An impor
tant thing to remember about
the diizy climb in coffee prices
is that the profits from the price
climb are not going to farmers
in Brazil, most of whom have
been seriously hurt by the frost
that ravaged their crop and in
duced the coffee shortabe.
. Nor is the price increase due
to any market manipulation by
the Brazilian government, as its
minister of foreign relations, Vi
cente Ran, marie tinmistakahly
clear in a recent letter to the
Washington Post.
As usual, the profits arc be
ing soaked up chiefly by distribu
tors, roasters, and speculating
middlemen, who deal in coffee
futures. Another important thing
to remember, before we start
pointing an accusing finger at
Brazil, is that by far the greater
portion of our huge spending for
coffee stays right in the United
States.
A senate agriculture subcom
mittee, beaded by Sen. Guy Gil
lette of Iowa, heard some im
pressive testimony on this sub
ject four years ago that might
well apply tn the situation to
day. Andres Uribe, acting chair
man of the Pan-Ameriran coffee
bureau, testified that the United
States annually spends more than
$2,000,000,000 in coffee trade.
Of this amount, 62 per cent
remains in the United States and
is shared by brokers (specula
tors), importers, roasters, retail
rrs, stevedores, salesmen, etc.
The remaining 38 per cent goes
to the producing countries, in
cluding Brazil.
The year before, late in 194!),
middlemen speculators had made

T t" '
Brazilian producers, the great
majority of whom are small
farmers, didn't benefit from the
market upturn, having already
disposed of their coffee crop in
July, 1949. .
"And the farmer gets paid for
it then in July?" Inquired Sen.
George Aiken of Vermont.
"Yes, they get paiil when they
give the coffee to the second
handler," replied Uribe.

POOR MAN'S PHILOSOPHER
Boyle Finds Raising Child Is
More Terrifying Than War
By HAL
NEW YORK W) Every time
a child is born two cowards are
created. They- are the parents.
There Is nothing like a baby
to turn a couple of normally
courageous adults into a pair
of timorous mice. 1
Some six months ago a five-week-old
lady called Tracy
Ann moved a crib into our
home and adopted Frances and
me. Coming into our life after
16 childless years of marriage,
she brightened up the place
like a welcome candle in a dark
cave.
Our life was pleasant enough
before. But now it has a shin

feeling to come home and open

Ike's Regime Has
No Popular Label
By MERRIMAN SMITH
WASHINGTON (UP) Back
stairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower's "lib
eral-conservative" description of
his administration recently point
ed up the fact that actually, the
Eisenhower administration has no
popularized label or tag except
that of the President's name.
The public, and the administra
tion, has hit on no special label
such as "The New Deal" or "Fair
Deal" as the previous Democra
tic administrations were tabbed.
When and if a short easy-to-
remember tagline is developed, it
probably will come from one of
Mr. Eisenhower's speeches. Dur
ing the 1932 campaign, he refer
red to GOP plans for the nation
as "a crusade." But this label is
not used frequently today in a
descriptive sense.
Many people forget that the
late President Franklin Roosevelt
tried to abandon the New Deal
label in 1944. A visiting editor
remained after one of Mr. Roo
sevelt's press conferences for a
chat and FDR told him he was
tired of "New Deal" and thought
it was an outmoded phrase.
After the story of Mr. Roose
velt's atiluderame out, Washing
Inn reporters question the Pres
ident at length at his next' con
ference. He said he thought it
was time for "old doctor New
Deal" to bow out and make way
for "young doctor Win-Thc-War."
Further,. FDR wanted his party
to be known by the name "Win-
The-War."
He was never, able to sell the
idea, however, and people went
right ahead calling it New Deal.
It probably will be the same way
with the current administration.

Tracy Ann decided to be our
favorite income tax aeaucuon.
Trouble us? It Is just the
other way around. Frankly, it
is a relief.
"Baby, we didn't bring you
into the world," I feel like tell
ing her. "All we have is the
chance to make as nice a world
for you as we -can, and if we
fail you in that, then you got
a real right to holler.'"
When Tracy Ann had been in
our house a week, she already
was more than our flesh and
blood. She was our blithe
spirit, and she becomes blither
every day.
I have no hesitancy in advis
ing any childless couple who
can get a baby to adopt them
to go and do so at once, and
quit postponing paradise. But
paradise has a price. Ordin
ary parenthood will turn the
bravest human being into a
craven wretch; adopted parents
are doubly craven.
In four years of war report
ing I learned to condition my
self so that I was afraid only
when in actual danger. A man
who gets the fera-sweats be
fore he goes to the front, or aft
er he comes back and is out of
peril, won't last through very
many battlefields.
But raising a baby is much
more terrifying than working
on a battlefield. On a battle
field you know when to be
seared, when you can relax.
But in raising a child, you live
with a tight knot of terror at
the back of your brain day and
night. So many things can
happen.
"Don't worry," the pediatri
cian says. "Whatever you are
doing for this baby, just keep
right on doing it. There is
absolutely nothing wrong with
her."
I guess that is what frightens
me. Everything has gone so
terribly well for Tracy Ann.
Right now she has two upper
fangs and two lower fangs bust
ing out of her deep pink gums,
and I must admit does look,
when she grins, a bit like a
cross between an old grandma
and a young alligator.
Nobody can say I ever claim
ed she was the most beautiful
child in the whole wide world;
she is merely the loveliest baby
in the world and she has made
for us a castle with room just
now for the three who share it.
But she is as strong and heal
thy, pound for pound, as a per
cheron. If the Notre Dame
foottball team ever goes co-educational,
I've got a promising
candidate for right tackle. She
eats three squares a day, like
a harvest hand, and she sleeps
12 hours in a row every night.
And happy? Tracy Ann is so
happy ail day long I'm secretly
afraid she cither dosen't have
good sense, or else she doesn't
quite realize yet she is living
in the 20th century.
She has become so important
