Eisenhower Casts Light On Political Set-up Of Berlin; Possible Trend BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press Staff Correspondent Gen. Dwlght D. Eisenhower has raised, by inference, the ques tlo nof whether the new Germany is apt to go communist. In his second monthly report on American occupation, Eisen hower shed some valuable light on political developments in Ber lin. While Berlin Is not a cross-section of all Germany, It is ttiil looked upon as the capital and quite probably would be the seat of any central government which the Germans may be permitted to form. In Berlin, the American commander revealed, the communists are In the saddle, holding most of the principal administrative posts and controlling the press and radio. However, he said, "in formal reports indicate that a fair and Impartially supervised eleation in Berlin would not support the present communist party dominance but would reveal relatively strong support going to the social democrats and the Christian democratic union, in that order." Nevertheless, Elsenhower which the Russians permitted Americans took over their occupation sector, the communists and less extreme leftists (social democrats) are the best organized and most active. The communists are building party, now able to show their ciples laid down by Moscow. The social democratic party, al though abolished under Hitler, also has a framework of adherents on which to build. The old party had a moderate, state socialistic program. The other two parties, as described by Eisenhpwer, are new, drawing support from middle class, conservative bourgeois ele ments formerly associated with the center. They are called the Christinn-democratic union and the liberal democratic party. Neither is well-organized or aggressively active. . Under such conditions, a political, set-un exists which tends naturally to swing the Germans encouraged by the soviet authorities. For instance. Eisenhower disclosed that the Russians permit the communist newspaper enough paper to print, 200,000 copies, while the organs of the other parties' get only enough for 100,000 apiece. The future political complexion of Germany is of vast Im portance to all the allies, since it will determine whether the coun try is to be democratized along soviet or western ideas of what constitutes democracy. So far, the Russians have had the Jump. The other allies meanwhile have been unable to make ud their minds on a common attitude on these questions: 1. Shall Germany be permitted a central government now? 2. Shall the country be partitioned to prevent the formation of a new reich? . 3. Shall the Ruhr and Rhlneland he separated from Germany? .. 4. Shall German Industry be restored, if It can be done with out reviving her ability to make war. and her forelffn trnrin r. sumed to put her on a self-supporting basis? The French are against a being. They fear it might lead to another war-like reich and pre vent the separation of the Ruhr-Rhine. The French also probably feel that a central government might be In danger of becoming communist-dominated.

Tennessee Williams, who was born in Mississippi is the author of The Glass Menagerie which is by far the best play in New York at this time. To this play Lnur-Ue Taylor has contributed the greatest performance of her career However, to say, as some people have, that the success of the play Is due to Miss Taylor is hardly correct. Rather, it should be said that the success of Miss Taylor in reviving her reputa tion as a truly great actress is due to the play. Patting By Gen. Mark Clark.

The previous record year was 1944 when farm cash receipts amounted to $19.790.000,i'00.j Farm Income has climbed stead ily since the outbreak of war in 1939, when It amounted onlv to $7,877,000,000. The department said the ex pected drop In farm lncomo In October and November would be about 10 per cent below the 1944 levels. . News Behind The News By Paul MaJlon Washington,- Oct. 17 The administration is trying hop- skiD and jump solutions of the mass strike action allow ing 15 per cent wage increases here and there moving the navy into plants allow- ing states to press for set- tlem e n t s by threats and seizures pro tui MauiiD viding lapses as in motors and steel and talking about get ting a new labor board. Frankly no., one here thinks this will do the Job. You cannot patch up a flood. Unless the government takes hold of the fundamentals and solves them there will be strikes from now on. e e THE fundamentals behind the situation have been obscur ed from the. public eye by the chaos of propaganda. The union campaign has passed from the economic into the political stage. Their wartime campaigns were plotted on economic grounds. They massed figures to claim prices had advanced more than wages and therefore demanded wage increases to the same extent prices had advanc ed. They have switched their strategy away from that ground entirely. Now they want a 30 per cent wage increase not claiming prices have advanced but on the new ground that they want to maintain national pur chasing power. e TTHE same symptoms are evi dent in the position of John Lewis. In coal first he got his wage Increases on price grounds then developed something new called portal-to-portal to claim additional Increases which could not be Justified on price grounds and now is fomenting for fore men in whom he was never be fore interested. Thus labor has dropped the appeal to the public for justice the popular- appeal which made the unions what they are today. It no longer takes the public into its confidence by announcing what it wants in many instances. In other cases, it assumes an unequivocal nub- llc-be-damned policy (New Ifork elevator strike). A PATCHWORK handling of this condition can only lead to greater success for the unions along their present line. There must always necessarily be more ana more strikes; more and more wage increases for any reasons; higher and higher prices. The situation thus will never get settled. On this current line it can never be stabilized. Mr. Truman no doubt thinks he is playing as good politics as Mr. Roosevelt did with the same methods, but I do not think so. Mr. Roosevelt could get away with it economically because the situation was only starting then. Now it has reached a zenith which means the unions have more control over economic policy of the nation than gov ernment. They can force the country into inflation against Mr. Truman's own policy. To deliver his controls to the press ures of union political action can have but one result defeat of his economic policies and therefore of himself. If the un ions continue without responsi bility to the nation but only to their own causes they must in evitably force inflation to its upper limits and beyond into economic collapse and finally socialism of cither the Russian, German or possibly, but not probably, of the proposed Amer ican type. Inflation means bankruptcy and the world knows no answer to thnt except arbitrary social ism a dictatorship. Such events would hardly bring Mr. Truman any political success or the unions in the long run, as the army would no doubt operate our dictator ship. e e e AN economic policy for the good of the people as a whole must be established be yond reach of the unions. A basis of justice for all must be estab lished in place of the Roosevelt policy of justice for the unions more than anyone else. Tile unions cannot assume a national responsibility. Their very position as a minority clss group prevents them from genuinely assuming a character based on national interest. Hut they must be made responsible to the public, the government and their own membership by laws placing them on a Just footing with other class groups such as farmers and non-union workers by requiring them to Incorporate or otherwise mak ing them responsible for their actions before the law and the public. To force them to incorporate would make them pa)' taxes to.

They could sue and be sued. Then the public, through the government, would have some hold on them. Their strikes would have to be justified and their appeals made to justice rather than to runaway press ure. They could deal with busi ness on an equal plane. This is the only way I can find it logic or common sense to prevent inevitable inflation collapse and socialism. Our Jersey cow, Barney, is too tempermental to be owned and operated by a logger. For one thing, if we go on a two day camping trip and turn the calf loose to do the milking while we are gone, the first few mak ings after we get back hardly dampen the strainer. She also resents a two or three hour delay of the dally mtlkings. After a few such delays, she short-changes us by half a gal Ion. Barney, I fear, has a vin dictive nature. She was born 2000 years too late, still operat ing as she does according to the old testament dispensation an eye for an eye. None of this do-as-you-would-be-done-by for Bar ney. After a recent camping trip and while she was being wooed back to normal, the milk short age tempted me to keep the few stingy drops she gave instead of feeding them to the calf. As the calf had to have something. I substituted water, corn meal and some left-over mush. These met with the calf's approval and he inhaled them to the last drop, even giving a tonguey search of his nostrils for bits which might have become sidetracked. His evident Dleasure In tho changed menu fired me with am bition. How silly of people to think a calf wanted a steady diet of milk! No doubt calves the world over had all sorts of unsatisfied yearnings just be cause of this outmoded milk-for-calves idea. I would be a pio neer; would make further sub stitutions and so not only in crease the calf's pleasure and poundage but thereby release more milk for family use. The calf cooperated by syphoning tip such leftovers as hotcakes. fruit salad, clam chowder and string beans. You ask how come I got this black eye. Well I blame it on the boiled cabbage and fried po tatoes. It could have been cither one or both which incited the calf to rlotings and rebellion. For quite evidently he cared for neither. Too, I think it increased his agitation when the crusty portions of the fried potatoes got stuck in his throat. Unable to bunt them, he took it out on me. ais oi my own. suer tins, uiai calf gets straight milk.

It would appear that rainfall in May and June lessened the crop of birds for 1945. . Farmers owning considerable tracts of land have lodged com plaints which should come to the attention of hunters because of the possible after effects that may take place if a change of attitude is not shown. The com plaints deal largely with the mat ter of trespassing. Many hunt ers make no effort to secure per mission before going into fields and some are reluctant to leave when ordered out. Some of the farmers are so incensed about it' that they are threatening to close their places to all hunting. A farmer should know who is hunt ing his place and when it is be ing hunted. Gates are often left open and many times livestock disturbed, if not shot. Before hunting on land, hunt ers should always secure permis sion to do so. The owner of the land can give or refuse such permission. Gates should be kept closed, livestock should not be disturbed, hunters should use great care in their shooting and care should be used in crossing fences, so as not to break them down. Most farmers are very generous in granting permission. If hunters will give the same consideration to a farmer and his property that they would ex pect for their own, there will be very little trouble. If not, then there is a good chance that con siderable land will be closed to all hunting. A land owner may have prom ised certain friends the first few days of hunting and other hunt- ers may have to wait a few daysi to hunt there. No one should be i angry because of that. It is hoped that hunters Willi bear in mind the above matters I and if such is done, a much bet- j ter relationship! will exist and hunting will be available fori many. KENNETH G. DENMAN.
