U3.00 HUNGER AND POLITICS THESE things all took place on the first day of Lent. 1.

Pope Pius XII broadcast a vivid, moving appeal to the Catholic school children of America to save their pennies and dimes to buy food and for the hungry children of Europe and Asia, 2. The American Friends Service Committee addressed the American people through a full-page newspaper advertisement. This Quaker relief organization, whose life-saving efforts during and since the war have crowned a 30-year program of compassionate service, asked "not only for money for its own limited work but also for a new burst of nationwide support for the work of all governmental and private agencies engaged in relief and reconstruction," The Friends Committee is seeking $8,000,000 for 1047. But its work is admittedly only supplemental. So it asked citizens to let Washington know of their support of government plans to carry on the large- scale food shipments formerly handled by UNRRA, 3.

An American colonel reported on an Army field team's survey of the famine area in Romania, He disclosed that half the people in the area are almost entirely without food, and that bark, acorns, and grass are being mixed with meager rations of corn meal. Food reserves are only sufficient to maintain the present near-starvation level through Febru- nry. In Congress Charles W. Vursell, a representative Illinois, a that this country withhold "any gifts' 1 to Soviet-dominated nations lest Generalissimo Stalin along the road to dictatorship of Europe. J-JE SAID, "Great sums poured out for relief by the American a a have boon diverted to i up dictatorial in Europe." And in this connection, Mr.

a the following remarkable statement. "One wonders, aside from the i of saving a lives from starvation, how real good we have done in i these a lives into hopeless political bondage." Unless we completely misinterpret the implications of Mr. Vui'seirs speech, his contention is this: Saving lives has been a source of national pride, but this pride is i by the fact that relief shipments have to i up Communism, Therefore those i must stop. VURSELL has decided that the hungry people i i the Russian orbit might as well be dead as in "hopeless political bondage," So, if their continued i on American help, Mr. Vursell would just let them die.

We can i no better comment on these views a that contained in the Friends' advertisement. "We the a of America is still warm and i Our poor a in this winter of agony is the result of i As a nation we have mistaken victory for peace. have a i to distinguish people from governments. It is as certain as the stars in their coil 'ses that there can be no peace In a world where children are starving, It makes no i what government they live." PETER EDSON IN OUR VALLEY A little a of 10 people headed by Maurice Pate is now embarked on the Job of trying to find ways to feed one 700-calory meal a day to 20 million children and nursing mothers in Europe and Asia, Seven hundred calories is one piece of bread, a potato, a pint of milk, a bowl of soup with meat. Six-foot, white-halved, blue-eyed Maurice Pate worked with Herbert Hoover In the feeding of 15 million children after World War I.

Tn Wonld War II he worked on Red Cross prisoner-of-war relief. Last year he made the survey on children's needs for Hoover's food mission. Now he Is director of International Children's Emergency Fund--a United Nations organization, set up last July. 55 nations approved It but only 29 aro members. ICEP will inherit whatever UNRRA has left after It goes out of business.

How much will be won't be known till the end of 1947. It won't be much, for UNRRA will spend every cent it onn to do as much good as it can. The i of 20 million children needing aid represents only part of Mr. Pate's problem. There are 40 million children under 18 years of ape, including 11 million orphans and half-orphans in continental European cities.

Country children are better off. But an estimated 30 million children outside the Scandinavian countries have deficient diet. The need In India. China, the Pacific Islands, is considered equally as great, though there la no possibility and no thought of raising Oriental food standards to European levels. Cost of the I a i a Children's Emergency Fund program is estimated at six cents a clay or roughly $20 a year for each child.

To feed 20 million children would cost 400 million dollars. Furnishing one pair of shoes, one pair of socks and an overcoat to some 10 million children might cost another 60 million dollars or more. Seek Governments' Help For the time being ICEF is soft-pedaling all efforts to raise money by voluntary contributions. An effort is being made to get governments to contribute instead. Half of the $400,000,000 is expected to co.me in the form of supplies from countries receiving the aid.

The other half would come from donor countries with food surpluses and charitable Inclinations. Some time In the near future President Truman is expected to send Congress a request for specific appropriations to support the Children's Fund, the International Refugee Organization, the UNRRA winclup and other international relief activities. If and when he does, there will be complications. To A the U. S.

will contribute about 75 per cent of the $4,000,000,000 relief effort. For IRO the S. quota is 47 per cent of a $150.000,000 budget, or $71,000,000. For the 200 million dollar Children's Fund the U. S.

quota may be between these percentages, or from 004.000.000 to $144,000,000. Whether Congress will appropriate any such sum is open to question in view of the new Budget Committee cuts. Also, the U. Government is on record as opposed to any general International relief programs. Tho policy is that future relief programs shall be carried on in individual country programs.

No Nation Barbed ICEF does not plan to exclude any country from receiving its aid. Germany and Japan and Korea may be excluded because the armies of occupation are feeding the people there. But aside from those areas, any country--enemy, allied or neutral--would be entitled to ask the United Nations for aid. And certain elements in Congress do not approve the Idea of furnishing more nlcl to Poland or other 'Russian satellite countries--even if they starve. Unless the United States leads the way on official government grants for this world child-feeding, there is slight prospect that other governments will contribute heavily.

The United Nations has sent Invitations to all its 55 member nations asking for aid. But It may bo several months before any governments can act. In spite of these obstacles Maurice Pate and his little staff, by advisers from UNRRA. hope to Set going in May. By E.

OSBORN the Lower Bio Grande Valley becoming more oil conscious every day, the following may prove interesting: American oil operators have spent more than $100,000,000 exploring the strata below 12,000 feet in the United States in their search for petroleum. The 320 wells in this deep drilling class have cost from $89,000 to more than $1,000,000 per well with an overall average of $250,000, according to a survey in The Petroleum Engineer by Ernestine Adams, associate editor. For the 10G deep wells drilled in 194G, thd average rose to $337,000, reflecting the sharp upturn in costs. Less money is required to drill deep in the swamplands of Louisiana, which has 144 wells below 12,000 feet costing an average of $230,000.

California's 84 deep wells average $333,000 and the G6 in Texas run about $301,000 each. Despite high costs, number of wells has increased greatly last four years: 17 in 1943, 37 in 1944,. 69 in 1945, nnd 106 in, 1946, striking evidence of the trend in petroleum search, The deepest hole at Jn Onddo County, Oklahoma', Superior Oil Company No, 1 Weller, which recently went below the 1046 record of 16,668 feet made by the Pacific Western Oil Corporation's deep test in Kern County, California. Record for the deepest producing well is held by Shell Oil Company No. 2 Smith-State, Iberia Parish, Louisiana.

It had an initial production of 454 barrels of oil and 587,000 cubic feet of gad a day from 13,778 feet. There is less difference today between the record hole and record deep production than there was in 1935 when the drill first passed 12,000 feet. Production at these depths have been discovered in Louisiana, California, Texas, and probably Mississippi. Non-commercial quantities of oil and gas have been found in other sections. The spirit of pioneering in deep drilling is spreading to more companies and more areas, Until 1946 there were 39 companies owning wells drilled 2 1-3 to 3 miles into the earth, The number grew to 61 operators in 1946.

Also in 1946 Wyoming got its first deep well, Venezuela got its first a second, and Ecuador was added to the list. Now 10 statet have 318 deep wells and the other 8 aru in Canada, Venezuela, Ecuador and Germany. DOTT7-TJLY 300,000 rural girls C.

Based on state club leaders' reports, 4-H girls participating In that program last year planned, prepared and served 20 million family meals! Typical achievements of participants in 1946 were: An 18-year- old 4-PI girl in a western state prepared and served 550 family meals, including 1,750 dishes and bakings, and helped prepare hot school lunches for 23 children.

State winners will be guest-delegates at the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago next November. National winners will receive $200.000 college scholarships.

DREW PEARSON Carriers Warned In Pre-War Days Against Car IN WASHINGTON current tragic tie-up of the economy because of the freight-car shortage might have been saved If the railroads had taken the advice of Washington experts.

It was never published at the time, but, two years before war, J. Leonard Replogle, former Republican national man from Florida and expert on the Baruch board during the last war, gave the railroads a blunt prediction of things to come. Testifying before the Stettiniue boai'd on national resources necessary for the impending- War, Replogle warned that the country would need 400,000 new freight cars to handle wartime economy. He told the board that many of the cars now in use were old and would not bear up under the wear and tear of war. He urged a government loan to finance 400,000 new cars.

This brought loud and vigorous protests from the American Railway Association. Their spokesman, the late J. Pelley, replied that the railroads were In good shape and needed no new cars. Nothing was done. Result: critical steel had to be diverted from building freight cars during the war, And today With equipment getting older and older, there are more wrecks and not enough cars to haul needed goods.

Though new freight cars are now being built at the rate of 7,000 a month, old cars should be scrapped at the rate of 7,000 a month. Thus it will take a long time to overcome the present car shortage. Army Waste Congressman John Taber of New York put his finger directly on illustrations of Army waste during the closed-door Republican caucus on the budget. Taber, a rigid congressional economizer, pointed out that the Army is now wasting manpower by maintaining four 'liaison" offices on Capitol Hill, presumably to curry favor with congressmen. "There was only one such liaison office here during the war, declared Taber, who i chairman of the joint budget committee, "Why does the Army need four now when we are at peace? Very few members use those offices anyhow." That is Just one example of waste, conynued Taber.

Another, he said, Was the billeting of 22 Army officers, plus their staffs, in expensive hotels in Germany for the purpose of preparing a history of the Nuremberg trials. "There are plenty of competent historians here in the United States, associated with universities, who would be glad to do the job if they were given visitors' visas," thundered the New Yorker. "Why saddle such expense taxpayers?" There was only one brief flare-Up at the GOP caucus when Rep. Walter Judd of Minnesota began shooting questions at the leaders, about whether the economy program was binding or optional upon the appropriations committee--the committee which actually appropriates the exact dollars and cent's going to each government bureau after congress fixes the over-all budget for the entire government, "This is no time to bring in technicalities," exploded Majority Leader Charles Halleck of Indiana. "The purpose of the resolution is to decide whether we are for or against economy.

It's that simple." Note--Despite attempts by Congressman Charles fiaton of New Jersey, who is opposed to drastic budget cuts, to adjourn the caucus, Republican leaders invoked a motion proposed by Carl Van Zanclt of Pennsylvania that the final secret vote bind every Republican in the House to support the full six-billion budget cut. Head Around the The one-minute speech is one of the oldest institutions of congress. It is pet device by which congressmen get a grievance or some other personal project off their chests, usually delivered with one eye on the press gallery and usually forgotten after the speaker's gavel falls. However, freshman GOP Representative J. J.

Javits of New York, a decorated war vet, mode a short talk the other day that was read around the world. The speech was sent by the State Department to our diplomats everywhere because of its cogent analysis of refugee problems. Javits stated, in part: "The plight of these living dead, the walking casualties of World War II, cries out for help to the conscience of the world. Four-fifths of the one million refugees and displaced persons are Poles, White Russians and Ukrainians, most of whom refuse to be repatriated because of their opposition to the regimes now governing their countries. "It is a popular misconception that most displaced persons are Jews.

In fact, only about 25 per cent of the aggregate number in Austria, Italy and Germany are Jews, while 75 per cent are Christians. The 25 per cent long only for the opening of the Jewish national home in Palestine. The United States is now spending an estimated eight to ten million dollars a month to mainatin displaced persons in the American occupation zone in Europe. "Subject to approval by Congress, the United States has subscribed 45 per cent of the operating budget of the International Refugee Organization under the United Nations. Even Great Britain, despite her own desperate plight, has agreed to subscribe 14 per cent.

Canada has joined, as have France, Norway, Liberia, the Philippines, Denmark, Honduras, the Dominican Republican and Guatemala, bringing subscriptions to almost 75 per cent of the required IRO budget. "Let us pray a i with united effort through this International Refugee Organization and through a. just solution in Palestine, a ray of light may be introduced into the blackness which is life for the displaced persons and refugees in Europe in 1947." Truman to New Orleans Young congressman Hale Boggs of Louisiana got an encouraging pat on the back from President Truman for a Housa speech defending David Lilienthal the other day, but failed to persuade the President to visit New Orleans. Truman said he would take a "rain check," and promised to show up for a hemispheric trade exposition in New Orleans next fall if circumstances permit. "I think I'll take Mon Wallgren (former senator, now governor of Washington) along if I go, 1 mused the President.

"Mon once bragged to me about how he taught the folks in New Orleans to play billiards. I want to see if he's us good as he says." The Louisiana congressman replied that his constituents were less interested In 'billiards at the moment than in fostering "good neighbor" trade. International House, an organization Boggs helped establish for promoting more trade between the Mississippi valley and Latin America, was going great guns in a new 15-story building, he told Truman, and the Fall' exposition will highlight the trade program. "That's when we want you there, Mr. President," concluded the Louisiana congressman, Capital a Congratulations to Solicitor General "Shorty" Andrews of Georgia and his assistant, Paul Webb, for their conviction of the pro-Nazi i a Hoover's quick return from Europe is in order to testify in favor of a large appropriation by which the American army can feed Europe.

He will oppose a drastic cut in the budget. Congressional tax experts decided to reduce the 25 per cent communications tax following an urgent plea from officials of the Western Union Telegraph Company, Who. reported that Western Union faced an $8,000,000 deficit this year because great numbers of telegram-senders have refused to pay the tax and are switching to airmail. LOVER'S MOON GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY Nobody Lets Anybody Alone It would seem to me that if the United States really believes that a people ought to have a government of its own choosing, it is none of the business of the United States, Great Britain and Soviet Russia to tell them whom not to choose.

For, after all, when a people is told whom not to choose, it is told whom to choose. If the Austrlans want the Hapsburgs back, that is their business. If they do not want the Hapsburgs, it is their business. It is certainly not my business, nor Truman's, nor Attlee's, nor Stalin's. At the end of World War the Allies made certain that the Hohenzollerns never returned to the German throne.

The idea was "kill the Kaiser!" because he made the war. So Germany was left without Kaiser and got Hitler and there has been a second war. Fell Into Hands of Nazis The Hapsburgs were not Involved in Austria's misfortunes ing to this war. The world of Franz Josef had toppled before the war came upon us. Austria attempted to live a republican life and fell into the hands of the Nazis, The Hapsburgs were exiles and during much of this period Otto was a boy, learning to be a Some day, maybe the Austrians will wonder whether their lovely Vienna was not a happier place under the Hapsburgs than it is today under Dr.

Karl Renner, who attempts to govern in the shadow of the Kremlin without being caught by the shadow. Kings are all right in their place, but I do not know exactly what the place is. But many human beings in this world look with longing eyes upon those days when Kings produced chivalry and their nobles ruled by noblesse oblige which the proletarian politicians of today do not even understand. What hell on earth these peoples have had since they rid of their kings may have no relationship to the absence of royalty, but the coincidence is startling and, to anyone who has had to live with it, a miserable fact, Want To Live Their Own Life Certainly such countries as Austria, Hungary and Germany have gained nothing from the abolition of the monarchy and it is very doubtful whether Spain, Portugal, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria are not worse off. Greece got her king bacjc by the grace of England and Rumania has a king through the kindness of Soviet Russia.

It is doubtful whether Rumania with a king is worse than Yugoslavia without a king. The real trouble is that nobody lets anyone alone. Maybe, if all the great powers got out of all the small, conquered, or liberated countries and gave those peoples a chance to decide matters for themselves, we might; discover that all they want is to live their own lives as they choose without anyone's assistance.
