World Today By DEWITT MacKKNZlE THE over-credulous, who have allowed themselve to be persuaded that Chinese communism has no relation to the Moscow brand, can now disabuse thetr minds of this much adver tised piece of propaganda. The presence In Moscow of the Chines Communist leader. Gen eral Mao Tae-tung. la in Itself proof enough of th Chlno-Rus-elan relationship. Mao, who fre quently has aaid that be adores Stalin, has hot-footed it lor in sri eaoJtal as soon as Dosslble after r,'""S his continental Victory over Generalissimo Kai-shek's Nationalist There b is bring received all the honors due on of th world's powerful leaders. a pos&uue ontinental fj no Chiang r'l forces. I ived with r MACKENZIE INDICATIONS are that a big deal Is cooking. An AP dispatch from Moscow says that a Chino SoTiet friendship pact appears almost a certainty. Th two countries also ar wrpacied to work out trad and mutual assistance agreements. It la a moment of estreme satisfaction for Russia. Th Moscow newspaper Isvostla, Bovlrt govern ment organ, editorialising In general terms about the situation in th Orient, saya 'American imperialists are obviously underrating by a vary wide margin the forces of th peoples' liberation movement in Asia Maybe, but It atrikaa m America is pretty well aware of what Is going forward In that theater. It only remains for us to mak our Asiatic policy aa complete as our awareness of th position. OF coun China represents only on phase of this Armageddon which Is In full awing In the Orient between communism and democracy. How ever. It's a vital phase, and Mao triumphal visit to the powers that be In Moscow la an Important moment. However, while w shouldn't underestimate th Importance of th development, neither should w overestimate It. Mao la delivering a very sound mili tary success to Moscow, but he isn't delivering politi cal domination of China half billion people. China Is far from communlsed Ideologically. Just aa it was far from being completely within Chiang Kai-sheks Nationalist fold. Untold millions of Chinas people are lowly folk who aren't political conscious. They are Interested in an Ideology which fills the stomach. Nobody yet has given them what they want. ITS seven years ago this Christmas season that X had a long talk In Chungking with General Chou En-lai. then Communist uasian diplomat to Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. General Chou. who now la foreign minister In Mao's government, tried to Impress It on me that Chines Communists were agranana and that their Ideology had no relation to Moscow. Well, yes and no. Th Chines Communists who are politically conscious are of the Moscow brand. Th masse who are In th territories conquered by the Communist armies may be labeled Communists but, aa previously remarked, they do their thinking with their bellies. Their convictions are In accord with this practice. This means that Mao. In order to consolidate his victory, must now rehabilitate war-ravaged China. He must gtv th people food, clothing and fuel. He must reduce th taxation which hangs like a mill stone about th necks of the small peasant farmers. That calls for vast outside help, most of which would have to come from the western world. China won't be communlsed (If at all) until this rehabilitation has been achieved. That's why Chiang Kai-shek persists in th belief that he can make a 'comeback. and reclaim the country from the Reds. SO w must conclude that this la a crucial period In the Chinese civil strife. It Is on of th most vital In the whole Asiatic political upheaval. Business Mirror Observers Think Investors Betting Inflation Coming By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, Dec JO 4 Many ebaervra believe that Wall street, Washington and Pittsburgh and apparently Main Street, too are betting on inflation ahead. Brokers report that the public is coming Into the stock market, and that there la a noticeable shift from bonds and preferreda to the buying of enmmon stock both trends usually considered Indicators of ln- flauon-mindedness around the coun try. Washington is drafting next year budget in a financial at mosphere ruled by deficit financing, which means the pumping of new money Into the business stream. Washington also notes that Install ment credit la rising and that the authority to apply curbs has lapsed. And low Interest rates and easy money are still prime policy at the treasury. In spite of federal reserve criticism. All these are listed as in flationary. Sustained Demand Pittsburgh aces steel prices going Up, and figures that the steel com panies wouldn't have taken that Step unless they were betting on sus tained steel demand In the months ahead, and on general business speed-up aucn as accompanies the first phase of a new inflationary spiral. Steel being an essential raw ma terial for about 40 per cent of Amer ican Industry, a price rise there can only mean higher production costs all along the line. Even if compe tition forces some absorption of the bike by steel processors, there seems bound to be some price rise to the consuming public for a multi tude ot goods in daily use. And In other cases, such as autos. where price declined had been anticipated In the months Just ahead, the in creasa of 18 :o 110 in the steel used in making a rr. may halt the plan ned price cuts for care. Already the appliance makers are talking of raising their price to meet the increased steel charges. Pay Hike More important, possibly, are the Indications that labor will use the steel price hike ss the springboard lor asking pay hikes. The United Auto Workers (CIO) union says it will ask General Motors for a wage increase and for better pension and health insurance plans than it got from Ford. Bteel workers seem sure to us the st-el price hike aa an excuse for stirting the fifth round of wage-price boosts next year. Until inflation gets will under way. If it does, the cost of living will show little of Its effects. That la because much ot it is based on farm prices, and commodities con tinue to slide slowly If Jerkily down, rise. The textile market shows some strength again, so that clothing prices may not decline as much as some once hoped. Retail prices V1rj still be bolstered in one way or another by Washing ton. Farm subsidies keep food prices from dropping much. Con tinued high taxes, the coming hike in the minimum wage, and the talk of imposing a new general five per cent excise tax on manufacturer's sales all would be added In time to the over-the-counter price you would pay for goods. The deflationary side of the pic ture? Well, toils? there are predic tions that the Jobless total next year may rise to five million. Farm Income is expected to continue to fall. National Income as a whole may be lower next year than this. Export seem certain to slump fur ther. And the construction Industry looks for more public building but less industrial and commercial building. SENATOR'S A SODA JERK-U. S. Sen, Hubert H.

Pendulum Yhy Aussies Refused Socialism WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Wv The unseating of the labor government In Australia resulted from public rear over "left-wing ism" and "the all-powerful state.' says one of the men who sparked the victorious lib eral and country parties. The voters wanted change, con tends one of the losers, hut some of them "dont know why." Reporting for the winner was Richard G. Casey, who was sworn in yesterday in Canberra a min ister ot supply in the Australian cabinet. Casey said he believes that the defeat of th Australian labor party after eight years of power coming aa It did on the heels of a sim ilar political change in New Zea land "will have at least some In fluence on the coming elections In Britain." His views were reported m an overseas telephone Interview with The U. S. News and World Re port, weekly news magirlne pub lished at Washington. Tree Enterprise' Casey'a answers to questions put him by the magazine Indicated that the political campaign was fought out along the line of "free enter prise' aa opposed to socialization and nationalization. He said his was a free enterprise party and com pletely opposed to socialization." He added, however, that 'this does not say we are opposed In any way to social services." His party, he explained, had said It would not reduce the scale of so cial service. Asked if he thought the voters were 'discontented" over any par ticular issues, Casey answered: "The Issues were quite distinct We were fighting left-wingism.' And the vote for us and against the labor government was very def inite and very positive all over Australia." Fear He added: It was not discon tent aa much as fear of left-wingism and the all powerful state. The theory or left-wlngism, of course, is the all-powerful state." The magazine also published In terviews with J. B. Chlfley, the retiring prime minister of the labor government, and H. A. M. Camp bell, editor of The Melbourne Age. It termed the Age an Independent newspaper of major Influence In Australian affairs. Chlfley denied that "the welfare- state Idea" had been repudiated by tne elections. He added that all partiea In Australia "are pledged to provide adeauate social services. educational facilities and health services," and said defeat of his party was a result of voters want ing a change "but they don't know why." Weary Campbell said the chanae result ed from: "first, a general weari ness of a party which haa been in office eight years. It was a completion of th swing of the pen dulum which Invariably operates In Australian politics, as in most other democracies." More specifically." he added, "it was popular impatience with long sustained bureaucratic controls re maining from wartime, and resent ment at rather high-handed use of ministerial powers In administra tion. . .

A i Jr, o f Cum t m ij mington, Mass.. who was crown ed champion of th National Junior Vege table Growers association I n Washington last week. won the first prize raising and marketing f 1300 BOYLE . worth of vege tables on a two-and-one-half acre plot. Several thousand farm youths competed In the contest, sponsored by the A. and P. food stores. Sears, a six-foot, 200-pound Junior at the University of Massachusetts, explained that he grossed the 11300 by sparetlme work on his father's 300-acre farm, "My father gave me a small plot to encourage me," he said, "and I worked It during vacation and on week-ends borne from college. Spuds "My big crop wss potatoes. I hired what help I needed, and sack ed and sold the crop myself to grocery stores. I put In only 45 hours of my own time altogether. and the profit figures out at better than (10 an hour." i Sark" In addition he won tlOO In prizes at three local fairs. "I also got 3000 servings for our table from m y garden," said Sears, "and 1M pint boxes for our freezer and about 300 Jars of can ned vegetables." His father wants him to take over the family farm in time, and the youth haa agreed. He Is already employing scientific farming tech nique learned In school.

"By keeping up with the times you can gross 110.000 or more a year on a New England farm such as ours. You ought to net better than tSOOO plus everything you need to eat except some salt from the store." Young Sears wants to get rid of the farm's herd of 38 dairy cattle because "I dont care for cows they Just take up too much ot a man's time." Hia chief crops will be potatoes, chickens and tourists. He plans to modernize the 23-room old family farm house to attract the tourists summer fugitives from the city. "I don't want to live In a city mvself." he smiled. "I've seen a city. I don't like the pace. Independent- "There is more Independence on a fsrm.

Ticklish Nation Today U.S. Scientists Find New Ways to Nip Atomic Danger By ELTON C, FAT I For James Mar low I WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 UP) United States scientists are finding answers to one of the moat difficult and terrifying problems of atomic warfare. For three years they have sought a safeguard against the lingering and lethal radioactive poison cre ated in some types of A-bomb ex plosions. The search haa gone on since the underwater explosion of an atomic bomb In the Bikini tests of im Search The results of those tests started military and atomic energy com mission (AEC) scientists looking for ways to prevent contamination of people and object or to cleanse areas and objects of the poison. A new publication of the AEC on "handling radioactive wastes" and a summary of studies written by an army engineer ahow that the problem Is not quite as hopeless aa waa once believed. The AEC report mentions that Its Oak Ridge, Tenn., laboratories have been seeking better methods for decontaminating buildings, equip ment and general areas. Then It comments: "This work will be useful not only In the atomic energy program but also to the armed forces In develop ing means of decontaminating equipment In combat zones. 'Progress is reported on the de velopment of strlppable films which can be used to cover contaminated apparatus and, If necessary, placed by remote control." At other laboratories. It says: Similar coatings have been devel oped for painting hot laboratories. From time to time the contaminat ed paints can be removed, and the laboratory walls do not thus be come permanently contaminated." Hot Atomic expert use the word "hot" to designate anything that Is dangerously radioactive. The 'hot" ships In the Bikini tests were those sprayed with salt water made ra dioactive by the underwater burst of the bomb. At Bikini, various experimental effort were made to cleans ships of the radioactive contamination. LL CoL Richard D. Wolfe, army engineer, In an article appearing In th current editions of two unof ficial magazines. The Anti-aircraft Journal and The Military Engineer, describes three general methods tried. "The first." he writes, "consists of surface removal methods. In thla category are the successful meth ods used to date In decontamina tion of ships. In crudest form they Include paint removal by caustic solutions and such brute-force meth ods as sandblasting and scraping to South Asia Parley Yon't Slap Commies MANILA. Dec. 20 Plan for a coulemir of Southeast Asian na tions In March ar almost complete. Informed sources said today. But It probably won I end up aa Hie antl communist front It started out to be. Sources close to President El pldlo (Julrino said his origins! Idea of a strong union to oppos the spread of communism In Asia has been waterd down considerably. For this they cue two reasons; th Red military sweep 111 China and the probable recognition of live Chines Communist regime by Brit ish commonwealth nations. Qulrmo and rvnung Kai-shek, the No. I man of Nationalist China, drafted the basic framework for an Asian union at a meeting In the Philippines last July. Chiang later went to Korea to confer with President Hyngman Rhre of the republic of South Korea, who had been an enthusiastic sup porter of Qulnno's original pro posal. The United Stales never warmed up to Qiitrino's suggestion that It be the keystone of a Pacific coun terpart to the North Atlantic alli ance. The U. S. made It plain, how. ever, that the Asian countries were free to go ahead on their own with out American underwriting. Later, the U. 8. Issued a white paper on China, writing I.C the Chiang Kai shek regime as a failure. Qulrlno haa been reported revis ing the complexion of his proposal. It was described as non-communist Instead of anil-communist. Chiang and Nationalist China were quietly eased out of the picture. Whether Chiang or the remnant Nationalist government will be In vited to the n crting In the Philip pines In March was not disclosed. The sources said Burnirs recogni tion of the Chinese Red government would not bar Burma from attend ance. Indications point now to a work ing liaison between nations on the fringe ot Red China rather than any strong stand which would alienate any South Asian nation. TELLING THE EDITOR Doctor Soys Pain Killers Have Made Treatment Strides Big By VDWIN P. JOHDAN, M. D. Up until lately not much could b done to prevent pain. If a soldier was Injured on Uie batllrlitld, he had to stand the pain until nalur look It away. If, a limb had to com off Ui surgeon removed It as last aa possible or Ui patient faliuril. Hi victim of toothache had to grin and bear it until uie tooth waa re moved. Nowadays j lake fur granted the quick and almost conip.i ta re lief from almost any kind of pain aa soon aa a doctor can be brought to Uie scene. Usually lilts expectation of relief ran be grain ed promptly, thanks to the discov ery of a whole group ot drugs which reduce pain or cause unconscious ness. The drug which lessen pain are called analgesics. Anrlenla Used Morphine One of the oldest analgesics Is morphln. Aspirin is a kind of mild analgesic drug, and there ar : many others. Anesthetics are supposed to elimi nate pain altogether. The general anesthetics cause unconsciousness the pain Just la not felt at all. In this group are Included several gases ether, ethylene, chloroform and laughing gas, or nitrous oslde Some drugs which have thla anes thetic effect ran be Injected into the veins rather than inhaled. Of course, all the general anes thetics must be given with great car, as it la no simple matter to take away consciousness for long periods of Ume. General anesthesia, however, la on of the great boons to humanity. It permits operation and manipulations which would for. meily hav been Impossible b. csus of Hi pain.
