Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
HOME Irorn Salem, we mention these quickly-gained
Impressions of the legislative situ
ation: The taxpayers are taking a beating In this
legislature, and it is not the fault of the legis
lators. JJemanas ior money lor
a wide assortment of purposes
""""w I most of them worthy, of
f if course are at flood tide. The
pressure from the public Is al
most entirely for added ex
penditures. There aren't many
people lobbying, making com
mittee appearances, or writing
I le,ters against spending ine
FYl " I public urging upon the legis
lature is all the other way. If
there is public sentiment for
economy, it is not articulate.
The legislature Is dominant-
i.l -,. kiir.tn anrl thwireticallv conservative.
but It cannot withstand the demand for in
creased appropriations. This is partially due to
the Justification of much of this demand. Costs
of operating government services have mounted
steadily. Needs for many things, such as the
welfare institutions, have piled up in recent
years and demand recognition. Public salary
schedules have not kept up with the rise In the
cost of living, and there is widespread demand
for correction. There are areas, to be sure,
where resistance to the demand for money is
justified, but unless there is more public sup
port for such resistance, it is not likely to de
velop to any great extent.
Inconsistent
REALISTIC legislators know that if the pub
lic is so hell-bent for more spending, it's
the legislature's Job to provide the revenues.
n,,t hm 4 v,a nuhlfp turns Inconsistent: it wants
the money spent, but it doesn't want to pay the
bill. Virtually everybody we talked to in alem
says that the sales tax is the only fundamental
solution, but there is doubt that it would sur
vive a test in a popular election.
But the sales tax, even though accepted as a
potential answer to the big question, is not im
mediately helpful. In the current job of bal
ancing appropriations and revenues, the sales
tax cannot be added to the revenue side as yet.
It hat to await a referendum vote. So the legis
lature must first find other sources, or resort,
to a atate tax on over-burdened real property.
The problem had not been solved when we sat
in as a spectator for a little while yesterday at
a meeting of the house assessment and taxation
committee.
One cannot escape the realization that there
is too much irresponsibility in the public's atti
tude toward the state's fiscal problems. Too
many people seem unwilling to recognize the
fact that money to be spent is money that must
be raised by taxation; that those who support
appropriations must support revenue measures.
The legislature is a representative body, respon
sive to public sentiment; if we want responsible
fiscal legislation from our lawmakers, we must
accept our responsibilities as citizens.
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 6 General Marshall
is flying to Moscow in a blur of private
official lament about the economic breakup in
Britain. When the president held his prelimin
ary conference with the republican and demo
cratic leaders, not a person present would talk
afterward. The reporters suspected the group
was too scared to reveal anything as they
usually do.
Yet surprisingly enough, the British them
selves have been the loudest of lamenters over
their own condition. The public appeal of Bevin
to turn the Greek situation over to us was
plainly meant to be an alarmist gesture. His
failing power and prestige in Turkey, the situa
tion in the Dardanelles, which approach .the
Suez, Egypt and the Orient, made it rather plain
to everyone here that the Bevin appeal was
really much broader than merely the Greek
situation. It was a plea for American assump
tion ot leadership to save the collapsing British
empire and the British position throughout
Europe, east of the Rhine. Officials susceptible
to calamities immediately drew visions of the
British collapse permitting Russia to envelop
Europe and Asia.
Want Financial Backing
THE implications of this possibly overdrawn
situation were not apparent to the public.
Actually the British have only about 8000 troops
in Greece. Their cost is not considerable, and
even a socialist failure in Britain might finance
it. But the Greeks arc seeking a $230,000,000
loan and what the British really want from us
is financial backing for the British political
position in Greece. Simultaneously Mr. Hoover
has returned from Europe proclaiming the need
of Germany for $473,000,000 for food.
Now our original $3,750,000,000 loan to Brit
ain was supposed to pull them through all fi
nancial hazards until 1948. By the end ot next
year they figured their Imports would be suf
ficient to sustain their economy. But prices
have risen in the United States since the loan
was made, and the British complain (I have
not figured it out myself) that they have been
able to obtain only half as much food, grain
and materials here for their money. Certainly
their socialism has not only failed to produce
a larger volume of exports, but cannot even
produce enough coal to sustain itself.
The figures they offer are these: If they could
get 500 million pounds from exports. 200 mil
lion from their investments, and 100 million
from shipping profits, they would have a bal
ance of 800 millions on the credit side. As a
result of high prices here and production de
ficiencies they are 350 million pounds short.
This is the pivotal point of the matter. It is
a financial crux, not one of diplomacy. This
distinction is not generally understood, at least
not in Washington. The British have made an
Anglo-French alliance, upon which they count
for French support, although the French gov
ernment is too worried with communism now
. itself to be of much help.
There is every prospect that we may come
to the alliance method of bolstering our sup
port. We may have a French-American alliance,
especially if the Moscow conference runs the
expected course, without sufficient results to
guarantee our aims and security. There may be
other alliances.
Bail 'Em Out
YET fundamentally the British diplomatic
policy is in accord with the policy of the
United States, and there has been no break
down in her desire to pursue such a policy with
us. I have heard Bevin has called General
Marshall on the telephone several times a day
recently. Furthermore we are sending a good
man in Lewis Douglas as ambassador to Lon
don. He was the personal choice, I understand,
( of Dean Acheson, the assistant state secretary.
Marshall and Truman accepted the recommen
dation of this well known anti-new dealer with
out objection. So internal relations are certainly
developing cordially and satisfactorily.
Thus this country ia being faced again with
the plea to bail Europe out. The proposition
which the British are making primarily requires
our money, not any extra diplomatic skill or
backing, except such as would ensue from loans
and advances, (indeed the British" have seemed
to some authorities to be leading up to another
advance for themselves). We face a dilemma of
finance, not unlike the one after the last war.
My information suggests the Truman adminis
tration will certainly meet each case as it arises,
however, and not create a lump sum grab bag.
Such a condition is naturally building up
strong inner sentiment here for a coalition gov
ernment in Britain. Attlee could not wait until
the war was over to get Churchill out. The cur
rent prime minister has never had an impres
sive following in this country" He has tried his
socialism fully and cannot get enough produc
tion to sustain the economy (personally I be
lieve it is impossible to get production out of
socialism simply because it destroys all private
initiative). While the conservative party has
no great youthful leaders who have much popu
' lar following either, a coalition would at least
make the British crisis look like a crisis, and
not merely another socialist attempt to borrow
more from capitalism directly or indirectly
through Greece.

Boston Asks
School Probe
. BOSTON, March 6 (JPh
Aroused state legislators and
Governor Robert F. Bradford
moved swiftly today to put a
curb on the release of sex of
fenders as a grand jury con
vened in nearby Cambridge to
investigate the lust-slaying of 11-year-old
Jacqueline Maxwell.
-The house of representatives
approved orders calling for es
tablishment of special commit
tees to probe the release from a
state training school of Robert
L. Coombes, 17, charged with
murder of the child, and to study
the administration of all such
institutions in the state.
. The governor called for "bet
ter screening and; adequate seg
regation of youthful six psycho
paths." He said there should be
"provisions for segregation for
life, if necessary, or until it is
demonstrated the person is
cured."
Young Coombes, a sex offend
er of previous record, was re
leased from Shirley school only
three weeks ago over objection
of his parents. School trustees
explained they were obliged to
set him free after he met certain
conditions under the state's pres
ent correctional setup.
The Maxwell girl was slain in
a field near her home Sunday
night

Br DaVOTT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Affairs Anelyit
Secretary of State Marshall
now en route to Moscow has
expressed doubt that the foreixn
ministers of France, Britain,
Russia and America can write a
German treaty at their forth
coming conference in the Soviet
capital, because the big four still
are in disagreement on funda
mentals. That's a disquieting (though
not surprising) preview, because
the rehabilitation of chaotic Eu
rope hangs on the early con
clusion of a constructive German
treaty. We can go further and
say that peace itself is largely
dependent on how quickly and
how well the big four deal with
the now broken nation which
but a brief time ago was the
dominant power of continental
Europe economically and mili
tarily. Of course we should recog
nize that, as General Marshall
says, the negotiations will be
"extremely difficult." While the
world is tensely anxious for the
conclusion of a German pact, it
doen't wish to see a treaty which
is the product of impetuosity.
We want one which will put
Germany on her feet econom
ically while rendering her im
potent to wage war which will
establish a democratic govern
ment that will preclude the rise
of nazism and Prussianism
again.
However, there Is a point at
which tactics of delay become
deliberate obstruction. Anxiety
over the Moscow conference re
volves about Jthis truth. There
fore we are justified in believ
ing that the conference will pro
duce a tabling of the cards to
see who wants what to see if
there is anyone who doesn't
want a quick settlement of Eu
rope's crisis and a return of
peace and plenty.
Undue obstruction by any
power or powers at that con
ference would demonstrate a de
sire for continued disorganiza
tion. It would be a tacit admis
sion that the obstructionists ex
pected to profit in some way
from the chaos.
Knotty differences of opinion
naturally must be expected and
there will have to be compro
mises, but it won't be difficult
to differentiate between honest
objections and deliberate ob
struction. So we may at least
expect the Moscow conference
to disclose how the land lies.
It will tell whether there is
a real desire for a constructive
peace shorn of any selfish Interests.

No Parole
For Leopold
CHICAGO. March 6 (II
Nathan Leopold, serving a life
sentence and a 99-yenr sentence
in Stateville prison for the kid-nap-slaying
of young Bobby
Franks in 1924. will not be eligi
ble for parole for at lenst 10
years, Illinois parole officials
nave advised State's Attorney
William J. Tuohy.
Tuohy said he sought the pa
role board's opinion in view of
reports that Leopold would seek
parole on the ground that he
submitted to a malaria control
experiment in prison during the
war. Parole officials said some
convicts in the tests would be
given preferred parole consid
eration or possible executive
clemency.
However, they said Leopold,
convicted with the late Richard
Locb in the "thrill slaying" of
the 14-ycar-old Franks boy,
must serve a minimum of 33
years of. the 99-year kidnaping
sentence before his application
for parole can be considered.

Unfolding its beauty and color
In ever changing blue,

Guarding majestic peaks
That tower to the sky,
At, Mystery Lake! Thy wonders

A jewel as a heavenly gift
In purple shades asleep.
Ethereal moods of silver and

Reflect in this mirrored mist
Of earth's lonely tears.
The sunshine of ages has kissed.

Embraced by myriad cliffs to

Crowned in a hollow breast.
Moonlight drapes the gaping

In veils of shimmering spray
While evening shadows hover

And twilight bids farewell to

Calm in the soft breath of sum

Crystal drops of magic splendor
From a Crater centuries dead.
When autumn comes and spreads
Her wings f yellow and brown
Upon the leafy treos, and casts
A lingering, crimson frown
On this pool of slumbering blue
In Its rugged, rorky nest.
