production.
These are nothing more than
the fruits of the mismanagement
that takes place when government
starts tinkering with a nation’s
economies. The British press re
ports that one of its state-owned
airlines will lose seven million
pounds in its first year of govern
ment operation; another has al
ready reported a loss of thirty
pounds for every passenger it car
ried. These are some of the fruits
of socialism. If we want to keep
our high living standards, we must
hold fast to the American way.
U. S. Changes Pol
icy Toward Soviets
WASHINGTON, (d3)—American
policy toward Russia has swung—
or been pushed by the Soviets—tc
almost the opposite pole since
President Truman met Premier
Stalin at Potsdam two and a hall
year ago.
• The chief .executive came home
from that historic British-Soviet
American meeting saying: The
three powers “are now more close
ly than ever bound together in de
termination to achieve a just anc
lasting peace.”
Today the President admits tha
his faith in eventual world peace
is somewhat shaken although he
still believes* peace is attainable
He has committed the Unitec
States to oppose the spread o
Communism anywhere.
To that end the state depart
ment is said to be studying way:
to back up American economic aic
to Western Europe with strong po
litical action and possibly military
support.

| Stockholm exhibited nervous
ness. Gen. Helge Jung, command
er in chief of Sweden’s armed
forces, in a report last night to
King Gustav V., mentioned^ the
“brusque methods” of Russia.
Sweden’s eyes were on Finland.
Delegates of that Scandinavian
nation already have been assigned
to Moscow to negotiate on Prime
Minister Stalin’s demand for a
treaty of friendship and mutual
I assistance.
The communist party in Czecho
slovakia meanwhile announced
extension of its grip to the school
system. The education ministry
announced a compulsory system
for children upto 15 and a work
or-study plan for those of 15 or
1 over. Those who cannot pass scho
larship tests at 15 must work in
trades or industry.
In Italy, where a crucial test of
Communist power will come with
; the April 18 elections, the govern
1 ment has added 30,000 well armed
army men to the public security
\ forces. Vice Premier Randolfo
Pacciardi said that, with this aid,
security forces “can break any il
legal attempt from the left.”

Representatives of the 16 Mar
shall plan nations said the short
term interim aid they already have
received staved off collapse in Eu
rope.
Moscow’s trade union newspa
per Trud described the 16-nation
Marshall plan conference which
closed yesterday as a “stepping
stone toward conclusion of a sep
arate peace with western Ger
many.”
These were the other major de
velopments in the world situation:
In Brussels, the foreign minis
ters of Britain, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands and Luxembourg
signed a 50-year treaty of political
economic and military unity.
In Italy, new focal point of the
world crisis, communist labor boss
Giuseppe di Vittorio accused the
United States of exerting pressure
in favor of “the Italian reactionary
parties” through a U. S. depart
ment of justice statement yester
day barring immigration of Ital
ian communists.
In Czechoslovakia, a parliamen
tary committee demanded that im
munity be stripped from five leg
islators, two of whom are reported
to have fled the country. Lack ol
immunity would make the oppon
ents of the new Czech communist
regime subject to arrest.
In China, martial law was pro
claimed in Tsinan, as communir.1
troops drew near. There is an un
disclosed numfier of Americans m
Tsinan.
Die Welt, British-licensed news
paper in Berlin, reported thal
Russian families in Berlin have
been told to return to Russia. It
said mothers and children were
ordered to leave by May.
In Moscow, the army newspaper
Red Star talked of peace. It said
Russians “unanimously supporl
the peaceable policy of their gov
ernment.” This policy was demon
strated, it said, in the decree or
dering demobilization of all but
the Russian army’s 21-year-old
and 22-year-old class.
And in Warsaw, Poland, U. S.
Ambassador Stanton Griffis of
fered a pair of nylon stockings to
the Pole who sets a speed record
in the Communist-backed police
athletic meet at Warsaw next
week. Griffis said:
“I want to see how fast a Com
munist can run.”
FBI Clears Many

In Loyalty Inquiry
WASHINGTON, (/Pi—The FBI
has cleared more than a million
federal workers through its loyal
ty inquiries.
Director J. Edgar Hoover said
yesterday that his agency has re
turned to the civil service com
mission 1,005,944 loyalty forms
marked “no disloyal data.”
The FBI has opened 777 full in
vestigations under the loyalty pro
gram. These investigations are
made only in cases where there is
some question as to an employee’s
loyalty.
Of the 170 investigations com
pleted, Hoover said, the FBI has
conclusively established the em
ployee’s loyalty in 33 cases. Five
were found to be no longer em
ployed by the government, while
38 employees resigned during the
investigations. Ninety-four cases
have been referred back to the
civil service commission.

More than 339,000 of the 400,000
soft coal diggers are idle in a dis
pute over use of the miners’ wel
fare fund to set up a miners pen
' sion plan.
The administration has been
seeking a way to halt the walk
outs.
In Washington, U. S. mediation
officials were hastily exploring
way to stop the walkout. They
were undecided what to do. The
strongest possibility seemed that
the government would try to me
diate as long as there seemed hope
of a solution.
Even should President Truman
seek another injunction against
UMW President Lewis, there was
some question whether the court
could find anything to restrain.
Lewis’ contract, signed by the in
dustry last July 8, provided only
that miners should work as long
as they were “able and willing.”
