The admiral, who spoke no French, arranged to have one of his junior lieutenants, fluent in French, serve as translator during his visit with the Bey of Tunis. The conversation, replete with the usual diplomatic compliments, dragged on to the point where the admiral became decidedly bored. Petulantly, he turned to his translator and said, "For God's sake tell this heathen to go ashore, I can't stand this any longer." The translator conveyed the message with as much tact as he could command, and the Bey retired with effusive thanks for the admiral's hospitality.

A few days later the admiral was invited to pay a return call on the Bey. After partaking liberally of the Bey's champagne, the admiral took his leave, paying his compliments in faulty French which he had learned from his own translator.

O'BRIEN The next Washington Background will appear in The Inquirer Saturday Ivan H. Petcrman U.N. Failures Give Delegates No Cause for Thanksgiving Upespite T7 HP II economy i am r- By Herman A.

Lowe WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 IN ITS final weeks, the outgoing administration is missing no opportunity to gild itself. It announces how economically it has run the government. It proclaims that spending increases must be charged exclusively to the national defense. The civilian agencies, it claims, have been stripped to the bone to save money for the taxpayers.

This all sounds very impressive. There's only one trouble it isn't so. Here are the facts for the first four months of this current Federal fiscal year (commencing July 1, 1952): During this period the government has spent far more than during the corresponding period of 1951. The Increases are not only in the national defense agencies. They are also in the strictly civilian agencies; in some of these the ratio of spending increase has been a giddy 60 percent over the same period last year.

DESPITE the fact that the Federal income for the first four months of this fiscal year was over $2,000,000,000 greater than for the same period a year ago, the Administration has succeeded in running up an operating deficit $1,700,000,000 greater than last year's. In three of the first four months of this fiscal year, the government spent more than during the same months last year. Only in August did the government spend a little less. Such facts completely fail to support the thesis of economy. They are some of the reasons spokesmen for the new Eisenhower Administration insist there is plenty of fat which can be trimmed away.

They feel there is enough leeway to bring the budget into balance within a year. According to official Treasury figures, the various departments, agencies, and the legislative and judicial branches of the" Federal government spent over during the first four months (July, August, September, October) of the last fiscal year. This left a deficit of $5,462,000,000. IN THESE four months of 1952, says the Treasury Department, the Federal government spent well over $24,212,000,000 and had a deficit of $7,162,000,000. The Administration argues that the cost of the defense program must be blamed.

But take a look at non-defense operations like these for the four months: In the Department of Agriculture, the Farmers Home Administration cost $54,000,000 this year as against $45,000,000 last year. Commodity Credit Administration spent $122,000,000 this year for the four months and only $41,000,000 last year. Other marketing services jumped in cost from $116,000,000 to $175,000,000. Expenses of the Civil Service Commission increased from to $330,000,000. Public Roads Bureau of the Department of Commerce climbed from to $249,500,000.

Expenses of the Social Security Administration jumped $50,000,000. THE LABOR DEPARTMENT hiked its spending from to $93,000,000. State Department is up from $75,000,000 to $114,000,000 and the Post Office Department from $150,000,000 to $355,000,000. Increases show in most other places as well. These are all non-defense agencies and bureaus.

The figures are not for a full year but only for four months. They disclose what has been going on in Washington in a way that no amount of double-talk and propaganda can overcome. Overall, non-defense civilian agency spending is running about 8 percent higher than for the same period of last year. Just whittling this portion of the Federal spending back to the 1951 figures would save the taxpayers more than $400,000,000. Of course, here in Washington, where the bureaucrats speak a a 1 1 of $1,500,000,000 as "one-point-five," a little thing like $400,000,000 probably does not seem very important.

But it would buy a lot of T-bone steaks for our workers and taxpayers.

Dulles is one of the few original thinkers on foreign rolicy in a country that, for lack ol need, failed to develop many in le past.

The U. S. desperately needs such thinkers. For our present foreign policy has bogged down In Europe, it is marking time. In Asia it is settling nothing.

In Korea, notably, it seems heading toward retreat if not humiliation. The main reason, I believe. Is the lack of constructs imagination on the part of our leaders, particularly of those litary leaders who still play a par; in our foreign policies for which they are basically unprepared. PRACTICALLY alcne among our top planners, Dulles has shown creative imagination. Practically alone, along with that other independent thinker, Democratic Senator Paul Douglas of Illinois, Dulles has sou to break the unreal dilemma whose acceptance has made our po icy sterile.

This dilemma is the alleged choice between two poor ways of meeting the Soviet Communist threat. One way has been called "containment but not, too much" (as in Korea). Acceding to its supporters too great reaction to Communist aggression might convince Moscow that we mean war and thereby precipitate war. They figure that our failures and our hesitancies are avoiding a showdown by confirming Marxists in their belief that sinc we are going to collapse iron economic stresses anyway, they do not have to strike us down by force. rim; otner way is tnat 01 strengthening tie United States in anticipation of practically inevitable war.

To those who believe war inevitable, any dispersion of our force by, say, local defense in Korea, or by armin "uncertain" allies, merely results in the weakening of our own forces for the great conquest. Both these assumptions are councils of despair. The first leads to appeasement abioad, "butter before guns" at and finally, to the major war it aims to prevent. It will mean passive relinquishment of weak countries (Tibet was the last. It will encourage the Kremlin to continue aggression, and finally, somewh 're along the line, the American people will turn and give battle in the worst possible circumstant es, with the smallest chance of warning Yet this is exact where the Truman-Acheson policy of "not too much containment" is leading.

The other hypothesis of the inevitability of war makes war normally inevitable. DULLES is one of the few Americans who rejects both these ways. He believes trat there is a third and better way. We do not, he has frequently told me, need to remain an the defensive, accepting Soviet subversion, provocations, insults and blows tamely lest we "provoke" the Kremlin to open wt.r. Nor should we alone try to mike "containment" geographically complete all around the world 1 we bankrupt our treasury and disperse our strength.

Our side is still so much stronger than the Communists', that there is little or no risk of major war involved in hitting back hard. We ought therefore to counter local aggression by striking at the aggressor at his home. We ought further to counter the avowed Russian aiir. of Communiz-ing the world by an avowed aim on our part of freeing the victims of Soviet Communism "at the appropriate time and 'oy the appropriate means." Instead of shivering at Communis: plots in our midst, we should give the jitters to the Kremlin by hinting at plots in Communist cour. tries.

TT7HERE minor aggression ac-VV tually occurs we should of course, not just rassively foil it, but stamp it out completely. Dulles is sure that such a bold policy of striking back is not only safer but perhaps the only way of saving the free world without major war. Dulles feels pretty sure that far from leading to major war, as the defensive Truman -Acheson policy Is doing, a bold offensive is the surest wav nrfvpnt. mainr war without further less of freedom. Personally I believe that he is right.

I believe that he may well lift us off the reef where his predecessor has left us and bring us again to safe port I welcome his choice as next Secretary of State.

26. THERE is a two-block area in this great city where they will not celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It is the international area at the east end of 42d street occupied by the United Nations headquarters, where Nov. 27th will be spent in routine committee sessions of the 7th General Assembly. It would seem the U.N.

might accomplish more by going into Trygve Lie's "meditation salon" for half an hour, to contemplate its failures. There would be no need of feasting or festival. Merely quiet reflection. The delegates might pray, too, each in his own language and to his own concept of God. But they do little of this at U.N.

They prefer to applaud temporal institutions, man made resolutions which accomplish very little, and which ignore the colossal failures that the political side of United Nations must now admit. CONSIDERING these things, you may ask what has United Nations meaning the delegates and specialists here assembled to be thankful about? I'll tell you. although they won't be happy at being reminded: The U.N. diplomat should first be thankful that this Korean truce debate isn't taking place in that Panmunjom tent, for I understand from Pat Morin, Hal Boyle, Frank Conniff and others who've been there that this time of year is not at all pleasant in Korea. It is worse under shellfire in those trenches and Bald Ridge foxholes at the front.

The statesmen should also be thankful there remains a 55-5 bulge in favor of free governments. THIS represents one delegation loss by Moscow. The Yugoslavs, if they choose and Tito agrees, can at least call their Communist souls their own, and do not have to conscript "human sea" armies to promote Kremlin designs. That, in Belgrade, is worth a thanksgiving, although they may not so recognize. It might be worth a small murmur of thanks, too, for certain expatriate statesmen now toiling in the permanent U.N.

organization. But for the sanctuary of this structure and the U. S. of A. they would long since lie in unmarked graves.

Or be babbling for quick liquidation, like those unhappy characters in Prague. Some of the Americans, too, having concluded they are free to work against their government, while employed at U.N., might also mutter some thanks. Just for the fact we are an indulgent nation. Beyond the Iron Curtain might long since have disappeared. Joe Stalin doesn't allow for such deviation, while the comrade-citizen is temporarily on an international payroll.

EVERY non-Communist delegate should give thanks that he does not have to telephone Moscow before deleting a line or adding a folksy metaphor. Many lack comrade Vishinsky's adaptability, as our Secretary of State Acheson noted the other day. Andrei had to dredge up his best sophistries to "justify" rejection of the Indian truce plan. The U.N. should also be thankful that it is still suffered to come and go in a country that has paid 126,000 casualties in its defense.

Only a handful of other governments paid in lives. Many give hardly anything in cash for U.N.'s upkeep, let alone its defense. Finally, 'these men could return thanks that, against the noisy background of many disagreements, they still find the world enjoying more peace than strife. It may not be full and satisfying peace, but it is better than global warfare. They, should be grateful that, when temptations and irritations are greatest, cool heads and calm vision intercedes, to keep the majority of nations still in check.

Perhaps, in that respect, we should all be thankful (in a worried sort of way) that war and its agencies have become so appalling in prospect, that even men of ill will hesitate to invoke the results. One Man's Opinion By Walter Kiernan The average housewife, according to General Electric, works 58 hours a week and that's not counting Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving ought to bring it up to about 72 and it's still at straight time and no holiday on John Lewis' birthday. And it might be added that the woman who puts in 58 hours has more reason to strike for 40 hours than her husband who is apt to any moment. Women just don't know their own strength on account of they're so busy with their men's weaknesses.

And when we're giving our thanks for our blessings this year let us not forget to give thanks that so far our wives haven't asked when they're to get in on "labor's gains."

These antibiotics also have proved of tremendous value to pigs. In the case of turkeys, the economic problem of the farmer is to develop the greatest amount of meat on a bird in the shortest possible time.

To test his theories and translate them in terms of merchandising, he has been conducting these techniques of farming since 1937 at Titusville. The fact that his turkeys get top billing on Broadway restaurant menus indicates that he is one economist who reaches the market place.

Products from Titusville reach the West Coast in a vacuum-type sealing that eliminates the need of refrigeration, another long step in the technique of farming. M' mind that is amazingly inquisitive. As a classmate of Harvard's all-time football great, Eddie Mahan, this inquisitiveness of mind focused Mazur's Interest on football.

One thing about Brickley's kicking technique immediately struck his attention. Up to that time, drop-kickers held the ball at head level before dropping it to the ground. By observing Brickley's technique, Ma-lur discovered that maximum kicking power was achieved by holding the ball much closer to the ground before dropping it. By reducing the arc of the kicker's foot, all of the kicking power was saved for the last few inches. So happy holidays to all of you readers, and a particularly happy holiday season to these men of Rutgers Experimental Station.
