It has now Issued a foreign policy statement widely noted as the most forthright in this Held the party has made since its 1951 defeat. And this declaration sounds a great deal like Bevan talking. The party wants immediate lour power talks on the future of Ger many. These discussions would probe the possibility of free elec tions throughout the country. What would the real effect ot this nroirram be? The plan for a European defense army, already agreed upon by Britain, France and the United States, might be indefinitely de layed. To prevent the signing of this defense pact Is. Indeed, a prime Russian objective. All Allied energerles have been bent the other way toward getting the plan In motion. FALSE HOPES The Labor Party proposal would further consternate the wnoie iree European community be raising false hopes of German unity. Does anyone need to be told what a shambles the Russians would make of a unity conference or, if it came to that, a "free election?" The Germans might, through the period of negotiations, be encour aged to believe they could forget any responsibility for their own defense or that of the larger West of which they have lately been endeavoring to become a part. They could be lulled into dreaming agafe of neutrality. Sober statesmen of the western world have been aware for a long time that Bevan has a sadly dis WASHINGTON I4V- The Wage Stabilization Board (WSB) Is like a boy who got permission to stick his fingers in the Jam and then fell into it up to his neck. ' In this ease the Jam was the teel dispute. And before the ex citement is over WSB may get a sound thumping. The WSB started out as a mild' mannered youngster back in the fall of 1950 when Congress gave President Truman authority to set up machinery lor controlling infla tion. Tile President created WSB to sit on wages and the Office of Price Stabilization to hold down prices. WSB's job then was to keep employers from raising wages too much. At that time it had nine mem bers: Three from organized labor, three from industry, and three re presenting the public. It soon be came, clear me nine aioni get along well together. This was revealed when the board tried to work out a formula controlling wage increases to keep them in line with living costs and prices. On Feb. 15 1951 the board said raises would be limited to 10 per cent. The industry and public mem bers voted for that. Not the labor members. They walked out, ruin ing the board. They thought 12 per cent should have been the lowest limit. But labor had another complaint about the inflation machinery, par ticularly against Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson. They said he Pacific Bus Strike Ends SAN FRANCISCO Wl Greyhound buses will be Pacific rolling again within a week under a set tlement ending a ten-week-old strike in seven Western states.

But they must read with regret that this kind of thinking is capturing the Labor Party as a whole. In any sane approach to the German problem, you cannot put the uniiicatlon of Germany first. The principal goal at this time is the defen.se of tree Europe against Russian communism. Only iools ; would argue that this could be attained coordinated' wun a uer- i many unified on terms the Rus- j sians couici accept. How many times must It. be pointed out that the withdrawal of foreign troops coincidental to a German peace pact would leave Russian soldiers poised much closer than Allied forces to Ger many's vital heart? How often must it be repeated that Soviet Germany has an army trained under the guise ot a police force? Do these things spell salety tor the West? Manifestly they do not. Any man who can shrug off these realities and look beyond to the rosy ideal of German unity is hot eouiDned lor responsioie leaaer- shlp in the Europe of today. It is siemficant that the L.aoor rtny statement was drafted after a con ference its leaders held with French and German Socialists in Bonn. For the two latter branches of the Socialist Party have made disregard of reality a virtual science.

After a couple of months, Tru man reorganized the board, chang ing it from nine to 18 members. Now there were six from labor, six from industry, and six represent ing the pubUc. But this was a different kind of board. That old one could only decide how much of a raise an employer could give. By executive order Truman gave the new WSB some extra and far-reaching power. He said that when collective bargaining between a union and an employer broke down the WSB could step in ana settle disputes involving more man just wages. For instance, the union shop. Business didn't like this, especi ally because there was other mach inery the government could use without giving wsb this new and increased power. For example: The Taft-Hartley Act which per mits the government to get a court order delaying a strike 80 days. Nevertheless, the board rocked along until last December when Truman told the WSB to sten intn uie sieei Dispute wnen Bargaining broke down between the CIO union and the industry. Some weeks later the board but not the industry members recom mended a healthy wage increase for the union, plus other benefits and the union shop. That was the start oi all that has happened since. The mill owners, who said thev couldn't afford the wage raise without a price Increase of about S12 a ton, reacted violently against WSB and the powers it had. Congressional critics, of whom there were plenty, did the same. The upshot: Demands in Con gress that the board be strlDoed of its new power and reduced to what it was in the fall of 1950 simply an agency for sitting on wages with no authority to settle disputes. Now the House Labor Committee has begun an investigation of the board and its Dolicies Tuesdav It called Wilson to learn what he thought.

Charges Red Trickery BY ROBERT Kl NSON MUNSAN, Korea (JP) The Unit ed Nations Command Mondny sharply accused the Communists of using the Korea armistice talks for a propaganda sounding board. A UNC communiaue said the Reds fired "their most vicious propaganda attack of the 10-numth-old armistice negotiations" in a 34-minute "tirade, obviously pre pared in advance" and "filled with lnvectne distortions and palpable lies." Another plenary session was scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday. But Vice Adm. O Turner Jov. senior U.N. delegate told the Reds the U N. Command "formally dis associates Itself from the proua-1 ganda nurnoses for which you are utilizing these mc;ini!s." Nort.i Korean Gen. Nam II de livered the blast at the U. N. com mand. !

The talks are tightly deadlocked over tl'e exchange of prisoners. The United Nations command has demanded voluntary repatriation of POWs.

Miller jDAdan because their blood pressures are lower than what they think should be normal. As a matter of fact most people with low blood pressures are well oft and can expect a long life. There are few exceptions: there is a condition known as Addison's dlaease which, among other symp toms. Is characterized by a low blood pressure, but this Is rnre an t there are only a few other thtui, which are accompanied by low blood pressure which have any serious significance. There are scverul things which help to determine whether the blook pressure will be low, high or normal. The pump-like action of the heart is one. The elasticity of the arterlea la another. In moat cases of below "normal" blood pressure, the cause seems to !e exceptionally elastic arteries and this is a food thing. For ono It generally means that hardening of the arteries will be slow to deve lop and this In turn has much to do with the expectation for a long life. It Is hard to say whether there are or are not any symptoms which can be laid at the door of low blood pressure and nothing rise. 8ome people like Mrs. C who have low blood pressure also com plain of lack of pep or some other vague thing, but this Is just as likely to arise In the mind as it Is from the pressure. Even If the blood pressure should have something to do with complaints of this sort there Is not much that can be done about It. There is no good, sale, way to raise the blood pressure and It is better left alone in most cases, unless anemia or some other con. dltion Is also present which should be treated on Its own account. Low blood pressure causes a great deal of unnecessary worry, and with exceedingly few excep tions the person with below nor mal pressure can teel lucky, and does not need to do anything about signs of disease.
