IN ONL' EAR AND OUT THE
TYPEWRITER (Burt Hoyio's ex
periences as a veterans admmistra
tion OI farm training instructor):
The VA launched an investiga
tion that mBde their hair sland on
end. Unfortunately, this hnlr slowly
settled back Into place with hardly
a hair changed.
Some of the things they found
were:
That some students had been
coming for about a year e.nd did
not even know that they were sup
posed to have field trips. And yet
the records filled out by the in
structor showed In blsck and white
that he had been visiting him regu
larly for eight hours every iiionth.
The Instructor who visited none
of his students but who did come
to cla.vs so we can say that for
lour or eight hours of his time
vou, the taxpayers, were paying
him as high as tlOO.OO an hour.
Probably over 90 percent ol the
students are In the school for one
reason onlv, nd that is the i.io.icy
they get out of it. The remaining
10 percent would only be there hall
the time if there were no money
Involved because often the level
of instruction is so low. .
Under the provisions of the VA,
the moncv paid to the trainee has
to be paid back to the VA if the
labor income of the trainee went
over a basic figure of about $2300
annually. Needless to say. many
vrere the methods used to show in
the books that the trainee did not
earn over that amount. I dc-iy any

NEW YORK Wt It Is a thing of
terror xand strange beauty to see
a great city abandoned in wartime.
H was that way a year ago this
week in Seoul, when the Alies
yielded the Korean capital to pad
tied Chinese soldiers who came
across the hills like waves of walk
Ins quilts.
The fear of their coming spread
Invisibly before them. Hundreds of
thousands of Seoul civilians had
been leaving for days, marching
south in straggling columns of
death and hunger.
But the military decision to evac
uate came suddenly. One morning
the correspondents watched a Brit
ish battalion make a calm and
studied counter-attack against the
enemy 18 miles norm of uie city.
But when we returned late that
afternoon the press camq was
breaking up and the order went
out:
"Pack and leave Immediately.
, The Army is pulling out tonight."
Several correspondents, Including
Dwight Martin of Time Magazine
and myself, decided to remain ov
ernight and watch the withdrawal.
It gave us an eerie feeling as
we stood at the entrance of the
empty Hotel Chosun, one of the
largest bostelries in Korea, and
watched flames licking at the n;ws
paoer plant across the street
Fires began to break out all over
4he city and a smoke pa'l quick
ened the twilight. Night fell. The
pavements echoed with the roar
of tanks and guns being wheeled
out of the city.-It seemed impos
sible that mere msses of enemy
riflemen on foot could force all that
vast weight of metal armor baclc-
wr.rd but they were.
The fires mushroomed Into acres
of sininT flame. Outlined against
them were the pitiful .lines of ref
ugees. Many too weak to continue
collapsed and lr.y unheeded.
We bucked the end'ess traffic
back up to the front. It wasn't so
far now. A colonel said:
We're pulling out ourseives in
WASHINGTON W Almost 68
now, President Truman still is chip
per although naturally he loc':cs o'd
er and more drawn than when he
moved Into the White House Just
short of seven years ago.
And as he demonstrated again
yesterday at his news conference,
he's peppy as ever with an im
portant change in firing back an
swers to the questions tossed at
him by reporters.
When he "first took over the Pres
idency he had a habit of throwing
out answers macninc-gun fast, so
much so that sometimes, it seemed
he d,l it without fully consicer
lng the consequences. Some of the
ol. the cuff answers backfired and
embarrassed him.
That rai-a-tat-tat technique may
have been due to sclf-conscious-ncss
because he was new in the
Presidency and trying to show how
fbreast oi the Job he was. In time
he learned to be more careful.
Now, whllo still Just as fast in
answering, he's slower on the kind
of answers he gives. And recently
the President has seemed a little
slow in action too.
Weeks a;m, when the scandals
J'ere popping around Washington,
he told a news conference he
planned a clean-up. He mav still
be planning it. But he hasn't put
It Into operation yet.
After ma'tlng the statement, he
nmckly got Judge Thomas Mur
phy of Kcw York to agree to head
the lumlestlcn board. Almost as
quick y Murphy changed his mind
rnd declined. Since then nothing's
happened.
Then there's the case of T. La
mar Caudle, assistant attorney gen
eral, whom Mr. Truman fired after
a House committee, which had
been ltttlng the lid on the scandals,
had qulzaed Caudle.
Later Mr. Truman said he had
SSS wloo to Caudle for some time.
Which raised a question: Why the
delay In firing him? Why was he

And then there is the matter of

Now who is to blame tor con

Tue hills and pado.es held a dark
menace. Everytnme was lonely and i
unreal, and the unfought fires 1
threw frightening shadow's. An or
phan boy wailed, all alone and for
gotten, on the city hall steps.
We picked him up and drove back
to the hotel and ruled come blank
ets to keep him warm.
At the last command post In
the city some soldiers were eating
a Christmas fruitcake that had Just
arrived. They shared it with us.
"it's a iunny tiling," said a young
captain, "but I courted my wife
in this very room. I was stationed
here before the war, and my wife
worked for an American civilian
agency that quartered its women
employes in this building.
"I used to meet here here to go
out on d.ites. It seems odd to be
back here. I wonder what she's
thinking right now."
And ever since then I've won
dered whether the captain ever got
to teil her about his last night in
Seoul.
We bedded down until morning.
We toured Seoul for the last time.
The rattle of small arms could be !
heard on the outskirts.
By noon the lat Allied unit had
trundled out of the smoking city
and across the two bridges span
ning the Han River. About 2 p.m.
U.S. Army engineers blew the final
bridge, and one said: ' wen. mats
the last we'll ever see of Seoul."
That was the general feelinz
among the Allied Army then. Many
officers and men then thought we
would have to give up Korea en
tirely and withdraw to Japan. And
there w-as bitterness in their going,
for while they had known little Joy
in that weary peninsula they had
no wish to be pushed from It.
But they formed a nev Ime and
held it. Today we hold Seoul again,
too. And if a real peace there
still seems far away, well the sit
uation is much better than it was
on that night cf loneliness anl de
feat a year ago.

mittee quizzed him?
Tlie Republicans promise that the
scanoals in government will be a
big issue in this year's president
ial campaign. If Mr. Truman vig
orously tore Into a search for
wrongdoers, he might take some
of the wind out of the Republican
sails.
But Congress comes back next
and if Mr. Truman sits back and
lets Congress take the play away
from him by setting up some fum
igation crew of Its own. Mr. Tru
man can hardly be credited with
smart politics. .

would give the pack away at once.

matches his closed canasta.)
Should you meld the deuce to
complete the canasta of queens?
iou Will then have one safe dis
card the black three.
.iie answer is that you should
not meld that deuce. Just discard
tne biack three and await develop
ments. ii your next draw is a safe dis
card, you can throw it and main
tain your position. That would have
been possible, of course, even if
oa hita molded the deuce. But if
your next draw is an unsafe dis
card, you can use your deuce to
freeze the pack.
Then your aces will be safe dis
cards, and you can probably last
until the end. You will give up the
canasta of queens, to be sure, but
tne ability to play safe may save
you two or three thousand points.
"One of our recent games of
Canasta brings up two problems,"
writes a Milwaukee correspondent.
"I won the first discard pile, con
slating ol about twelve cards.
There were five Jacks In the pile,
but the top card of the discard
pile (used In my Initial meld, nat
urally) was a king.
"First, do experts throw so
many cards of the same rank Into
a pile? Would you expect to find
live Jacks in a pile of only twelve
cards if all the players were first
class players?
"Second, is it a good Idea to
meld some or all of those Jacks?"
First, expert.i very often throw
the seme rank all around the
table. If It looks like a safe dis
card It may be thrown by one
side that hopes to win the pack.

tegrated program standing on three
lc3s: agriculture. Industry and
power.
The development of the approxi
mately 200.000 presently Irrigated
acres saved the Basin Horn an aw
ful Hop at the end of the rough
board sawmill era: we are looking
ahead to Increasing that 200.000
acres to a half million, plus an
additional quarter million In the
Yreka area.
Industrially, we haven't even
scratched the peuk. he said. The
best estimates are that 42 percent
of our original timber stands arc
Intact; add lo this the newlv valu
able stands of white fir and jack
pine, In a new period ol wool utll
l7.allon that will quadruple the man
hours work per log. and you have
the Industrial potential.
The Klamath river, the second i
power stream of the coa.si. has a
million KV hydroelectric potential,
which now Is unused.
"It Is a challenge to the best
minds of the community to get over
our ruckuses and Integrate the
three legs of this potential develop
ment," he said.
He added that the time Is past
when we can put our water po
tential "in the safe:" Unit the water
must be committed to beneficial
use within the next five years or
else.
Laton Stephens, manager of the
bureau of reclamation here, read
parts from the bureau's protest
brief which was filed with the pub
lic utility commission at the hear
ing last year on Copco's applica
tion for 25,000 second feet of water
tor hydroelectric use In the Klam
ath canyon.
Tlie brief set forth that lull de
velopment of Irrigable lands In the
Basin would require use ot all
available water In dry years leav
ing none for power development.
The bureau's legal right to the
water is based on the act ol 1U0S
which gave the United States rights
to all water needed for Irrigation.
Stephens said.
The estimate of potential use Is
based on irrigating 10,000 acres In
addition to the present 191,000
acres In the present project, plus
use for Swan Lake, Sprague River.
Klamath Marsh, Butte Valley, Red
Rock, Pine Flat and the Klamath
Indian reservation.

Ho pointed out that there Is a

that the bureau needs low cost
power for pumping such as It now
buys from Copco under a contract
which will expire In 19J7.
