Cutting remarks. New bait is invented every season and the fishermen continue la bile. When the chicken population of the country decreases it's really something to brood over. Conferences Over, but Problems Not Solved Well, the Cultural and Scientific Conference for World Peace has been and gone. So has the rival conference of Americans for Intellectual Freedom.

And the prospects for friendly and stable world are about what they were before. The first group, made up of Communists, pro-Communists and rather -sounding theoreticians, got together and reconvinced themselves that their ideas were correct. The second group, newly formed for the occasions, got together and reconvinced that the cultural and scientific waS 2 Communist-inspired vehicle for Soviet propaganda. Both organizations wanted peace. The one would settle for peace at Russia's price.

The other rejected the idea of "peace at any price." Some of the public, particularly some citizens of New York City, got very excited over all the goings-on. Tempers shortened and blood pressures Rightist liberals made angry accusations againat leftist liberals and vice versa. Pickets marched, shouted, sang and prayed. A few harmless were thrown. But in the main things went off reasonably well.

The conference of the cultured and the scientific heard quiet and decorous defenses of the Communist Party line. Its sponsors even permitted Norman Cousins, editor of the cultural but nonscientific Saturday Review of Literature, to tell the visiting foreigners that neither Wall Street nor the Communists are running this country, and that furthermore the country doesn't like the Communists very much. It is doubtful that many minds were changed, in or out of the conferences. The issues have been before the public 80 long that almost everyone must have made up his mind by now. The leftist discussions certainly did not advance the cause of world peace.

Any concrete results they may nave had were probably negative. The visiting Russians, having their first peek outside the iron curtain, may have gotten the idea from the pickets' shouts and slogans that the American people are as mad at the Russian people as they are at the Russian government. Possibly some of the pickets made the same mistake. When it was all over, the Soviet delegation had neither bombed the WaldorfAstoria nor bolshevized the country. Communism was neither more or less of a menace to America than it had been.

The iron curtain was still down. American restriction on visiting Communists were atill up. And t.he problem of world peace remained where it had been all along--in the laps of the governments to Washington and Moscow. The problem promises to remain there until Stalin though still sos rinsed their Way is beet, decide that it is expedient to limit the benefits of their virtue and knewledge to the territories they now control. Until that hapit seems, unfortunately, that there pens isn't much the ordinary citizen ciln do to advance peace, whether he in Communist or Communist, well-intendtioned or ill-intentioned, the beneficiary of democracy or the victim of dictatorship.

Farewell Party We were reading the other day about Dew television store in Englewood, N. which presented gifts to every purchaser of a new set on its opening day. Among the presents were two tickels to a Broadway show and dinner and for four at a New York night club. "It was like the good old days," the story began. In a way it was.

And the cash customers probably enjoyed the experience of being wooed again by storekeeper after years of shortages and seller's markets. But the give-away was also a sign of televised future The theater and night club dividend was a sort of last fling as well as a sales inducement. It represented a gesture by the dealer that was confident as well as gracious. He could make it on the secure assumption that neither theater nor night club would be much competition once the new set was installed. From now on these suburbanites will be getting most such entertainment in the living room.

The bright lights of Broadway will he summoned up by a flick of a switch, and without the attendant bother of traffic, parking, crowds and cover charges. This free night of entertainment for the new television owners may be only one of a series of last flings. With the spread of television networks Broadway might become more a distribution center for entertainment than the glamorous Mecca of the lively arts. Perhaps people will become as little interested in where their entertainment orginates a8 they now are in which packing plant processed their Sunday roast. Television must solve plenty of big problems before it beconies a real contpetitor with the shadow, substance and sound shows.

But there is plenty of evidence that the new medium, crude as it may be, is tightening up the family circle, and that video is becoming A11 important new member of the old team of home and fireside. VIEWS OF OTHERS Horrors Not to Be Forgotten 'The heart -wrenching horrors of Effingham's St. Anthony Hosplial fire will never be wiped from some memories. Tney will not be forgotten by the mothers whose babics died in the Dames, nor by the nursing sisters who could not reach their helpless patients. They will not be forgotten by the relatives and the would-be rescuers who listened in tragic frustration to the cries of mortal ngony.

They will not be forgotten by the firemen who worked in the glare and the smoke and the odor to get their Boses Into play. Nor will the shocking entastrophe ever be forgotten by those who sifted the charred debris for the pitiful remains of Is victims. 'L'a all these go condolences and deep sympaths. These sentiments are all the more lense for the realization that, ironically, gruesome death Jonnd its victims in an establishment dedicated to hending and the relief of pain. But what are words to those Involved in the tragedy? There Is consolation only in the knowledge that Lime may take some of the horror out or their memories.

Meanwhile, there will be the usual Investigations. It mAy turn out that some unintended carclessness, some thoughtless and scemingly trifling neglect was the cause of the fire. That wIll make others cautious--at least for time. But such zcal is likely to fade more quickly than the memories of those who stood by in Ellingham and could do nothing. But at least one conclusion ought to be kept alive.

The Ettingham fire demonstrated that Southern Ninols does not have nearly enough hospitals. Victims of the fire had to be sent as far AS Terre Haute and Granite City. In other words, ambulances had to cover the whole width of the state. Unfortunately, many anolher rural section of the United States sutfers from a simofur shortAge of hospitals, doctors and nurses.
