Red Satellites Plagued
With 'West Immorality'
VIENNA I Alter a decide of
control, the Communist govern
ments of Russia's East European
satellites confront a rash of moral
problems which the Reds always
like to ascribe exclusively to the
West alcoholism. Juvenile delin
quency and prostitution.
Free love and sexual license
have brought the satellites a har
vest of high venereal disease rales,
prostitution and promiscuity.
Tie moral degeneration Is mir
rored in occasional outbursts in
the Communist press, and further
documented and detailed by the
reports of hundreds of refugees
interviewed by Western agencies.
Malayan Red
Breaks Talks
BALINO, Malaya WMalayan
Communist chief Chin Peng
stalked back into the jungle tO'
day, breaking up the talks on am'
nesty for -his forces to end Mala
ya's 7'j years of guerrilla war.
But in walking out, me 36-year-oid
leader offered to end the light
ins when an "elected" Malayan
government takes complete control
of Its military forces from the
British, who are now waging much
of the fight.
Britain has promised independ
once or .Commonwealth member
ship eventually to the federation of
Maiaya, now a protectorate wnn
an elected legislature over which
the British high commissioner has
veto power.. The island crown
colony of Singapore also has been
given the same promise.
Prince Abdul Rahman, chief
Minister of the federation who led
the negotiations with Chin, will go
to London Jan. 1 to begin talks
with the British gqvernment on
Malayan independence. The Red
offer to quit fighting appeared to
give him a strong talking point.
Chin rejected potntblank a' gov
ernment demand for unconditional
surrender of his 3,500 jungie sol-
idlers, most of them Chinese. He
declared adamantly as he left the
English schoolhouse where the two-

Peace Plan
Progress Seen
JERUSALEM M Blaming " both
Israel and Egypt for the delay,
tbe U. N. Palestine truce otoud
has indicated that progress may
be made soon on Secretary Cen
tral Dag Hammarskjold's frontier
peace proposals.
In a communique,- . the truce
group said further discussions will
be held soon on Hammarskjold's
plan.
Tbe communique replied to an
Israeli statement charging that
-gypt naa reacted negatively to
the proposals. The U, N. group
said:
"The government of Egypt has
not yet formulated Its final posi
tion on the secretary general's pro
posals and considers the negotia
tions still to be open."
The communique said "prema
ture introduction of questions be
yond the scope" of the Hammar-
skjold proposals by both Egypt
ana Israel had "complicated ne
gotiations and greatly delayed
them."
Hammarskjold's proposals, put
forward Nov. 3, are reported unof
ficially to call for:
1. Completion of the marking of
the border of the El Auja-Nlzana
cone.
2. Evacuation, from the border
area of Egyptian troops in excess
of specific provisions of the armi
stice agreement.
3. Replacement of Israeli mili
tary forces in the zone by police
men for the protection of Israeli
settlers.
Sexual promiscuity ranks with
alcoholism and juvenile delinquen
cy as a plague which the Commu
nist regimes now want to curb.
' Mlada Front, organ of Czecho
slovakia's Communist Youth
League, says a three-month drive
against drunkenness and prostitu
tion in the Czech capital netted 56
boys and 13 girls under the age
of 16.
The morals picture is painted
especially black in Bulgaria and
Poland. Repatriates of Turkish
origin say family life In Bulgaria
had been sorely disrupted by
emancipating youths from paren
tal authority in favor of parly al
legiance. They report illegitimate
births are encouraged by granting
support to unwed- mothers and
their children, who are handed
ovej to the state for a bonus.
Hungarian press reports com
plain that closing of brothels "did
not solve the problem" there.
The port of Szczecin (the for
mer German Stettin ). Is perhaps
the most Immoral city In Poland.
Dance halls and cafes are crowded
with willing pickups.
Conditions prevailing in the
camps for harvest and construc
tion workers contribute to immor
ality, as does the free-and-easy
billeting provided youngsters at the
big youth festivals. ,
In Lublin, Poland, an investiga
tion revealed that hundreds of
schoolchildren regularly drink alcohol.
In Prague, the Czechoslovak
press complains, "Totally drunken
nighttime roisterers sleep hi stupor
on the benches and tables of the
central railroad station."
: In Hungary, the . press com
plains, "drunkenness spreads in
our socialist society the anarchy
and depravity of a bourgeois
life. . . . Alcoholism is a curse."
Local and partial prohibition of
alcohol has been Instituted in War
saw and Szczecin. Alcohol sales
are barred In some cities on pay
days and holidays.
In Czechoslovakia a special gov
ernment commission has been ap
pointed to deal with the growing
problem of adolescent crime boys
and girls under 15.
And in Mother Russia, hardly a
week passes but the press demands
stricter police action and new legis
lation to cope with juvenile crime,
which in some places has reached
terroristic proportions.
.OScTH V. LO.CLAIK, direc
tor of Instructional materials
for Klamath Falls public
schools, will teach the adult
evening clan in Audio-Visual
Aids (Ed 435 G) beginning
Monday, January ?. The

Calmer Scores Federal
Probe Into Nickel Policy
CHICAGO l.fi . Insurance man
William Baliner says a planned
congressional investigation oi the
governments nickel operation ui
Cuba stems from what he called
"a fight between would-be Interests
and National Lead Co."
Balmer commented to newsmen
on reports that he was among
those named for possible question
ing by a special Government Ac
tivities subcommittee which said
it Intends to explore financial and
legal details of the big govern
ment, expansion program.
Rep. Jack Brooks (D-Texl, head
of the committee, said in Wash
ington that Balmer's firm, Balmer
& Moore of Chicago, receives two
thirds of the insurance brokerage
fee In connection with workmen s
compensation Insurance on the
project.
Brooks described Balmer as a
'long-time political friend" of Ed
ward F. Mansure, head of the Gen
eral Services Administration,
which is the government agency
holding ownership of the nickel
plant. '
Laubenfels Files
First Candidacy
SALEM OCI The first candidacy
for the May 18, 1956, primary elec
tion in Oregon was filed with the
secretary of state here Wednesday.
The candidate is P. M. de Lau
benfels, Corvallis Democrat, who
is running for state representative
from Benton County.
He ran for the same office two
years ago,- but was defeated by
Rep. Wayne R. Glesy, Monroe Re
publican.
Jurist Raps
School Claim
WASHINGTON I A high Jus
tice Department official sas he
doubts a state could sidestep the
Supreme Court's school desegrega
tion decree merely by changing
the designation of Its schools from
"public" to "private."
The official said yesterday he
believes a court test would upset
any such plans If public funds
were used to support the "private
schools.
He made this comment when
asked about a proposal by Vir
ginia's Commission on Public Edu
cation to permit state sunsiay,
through tuition payments, of pri
vate schools.
The official said racial integra
tion is proceeding satisfactorily in
the schools and added that, while
this situation continues, he doubted
I he government would initiate any
cases aimed at speeding the
process. .
Any cases originating in the next
several months, he said,' likely
would come from parents who felt
their child had been deprived of
lis civil rights. He said such a case
probably would have to so back to
the Supreme Court tor a inline on
what' constitutes, a reasonable time
witnin ' wmca to acnieve in
tegration. ' t
Lane County
Loses Bridges
EUGENE ifi Lane County lost
about two dozen bridges to raging
flood waters last week. Miller Sor
enson, county bridge department
superintendent, reported Wednes-
aay.
He said crews are first replac
ing bridges which serve areas for
which there are no . alternate
routes.
In addition to bridges destroyed,
others received damage to piling
and otner supports, ne said.
Meanwhile, civic officials here
are hopeful of federal repair as
sistance.
Robert Jackson, manager of the
local Red Cross chapter, said Ar
thur M, Sheets, state civil defense
director, is expected here this
week to make a survey of flood
damage to sewers, water systems
and bridges.
Jackson said this survey was
requested by Gov. Paul Patterson
as a basis for aeeking federal
emergency restoration funds.
Ralph Peterson, a county com
missioner, said U. S. Army Engi
neers have been asked for help in
rebuilding a broken dike at Wil
lamette City which resulted In
flooding and damage there last
week from the Middle Fork of the
Willamette River.
Robert F. Buck, of Seattle, re
gional administrator of the federal
Small Business Administration,
said Wednesday that Lane County
businesses are eligible for emer
gency business loans to repair
damage. .-
"They've been over this five
times." Balmer said. "Tills was
bid on. We were the low bidders.
. . . If we hadn't been low bidder.
we wouldn't have gotten the busi
ness.
Referring to the nickel plant.
Balmer said:
"It appears to me the govern
ment Is Retting ready to sell it
mid a power play Is on. This is a
light between the would-be Inter
ests and National Lead Co."
Balmer agreed Mansure was a ;
lonR-tune friend.
The government spctu 100 mil
lion dollars to build the plant at
Niraro, Cuba, during World War
II. Shut down in 194 1, it was re-:
activated in 1951, and now is being .
expanded at a cost which Rep.
Brooks estimated at 43 million dol- j
lars. i
National Lead Co. has manage-1
ment of' the expansion proKiam.
The plant is being operated by the
Nickel ProcessmR Co., a subsidiary I
of National Lead. j
The GSA. responding ato the j
House committee plan (or invesli-1
cation, said m Washington, , "We
have nothing to hide." !
Rep. Brooks said his committee ;
is "interested in checking more !
closely the connection between
Mansure. financier Louis Wolfson !
and Bnlmer.
Wolfson has controlinir Interests
in Merritl-Chapman & Scotl, a New
York construction firm which
Brooks said was made a lull part
ner in the expansion program
through the personal decision of
Mansure.
, Wolfson denied yesterday at Mi
ami Beach that he had any con
nection with Mansure. He said the
subcommittee "should go ahead
and investigate" the nickel plant
if it "thinks there's anything
wrong" in its expansion.
