No thoughful person who follows Gen. Bedell Smith's memoirs from day to day can feel anything but a sense of dread.

The discussion of the police state and forced labor is calculated to give anyone the Those two generations that Lenin said Would have to be sacrificed in order to establish his brand of socialism have by now been sacrificed. For three decades the people have been brought up to believe that the Soviet Union is the only democratic state and the United States is "att imperialistic, aggressive nation." The that is used is hate and fear. Even those rare characters who refuse to believe propaganda that is taught to them from earliest childhood cannot know the truth. The men in the labor camps that General Smith writes about can hardly be persuaded that the Communist State is a Utopia. They might feel that nothing could be worse, and they might try to escape, but that would be the blind reaction of any man or woman striving for freedom.

There is nothing new under the sun, and one can find precursors of forced laborers at least as far back as the helots of ancient Sparta. In fact, the institution is as old as wars and slavery, but the new it was Hitler who first applied to fit the system into a modern economy. The effects of a totalitarian economy were much talked about in the Nineteen Thirties when Germany under Schacht and Funk showed what could be done in the way of balancing, canceling out and compensating the various components, of a nation's production. The Russians can hold down consumption at home to any degree they please. They they food When sections of their own people are more or less starving.

On the icore of economic theory or technique it could be argued that any system is legitimate, but when production is the fruit of slave labor the Russians cannot hope to avoid condemnation. Thity know that, and It explains why they spend their time denying, distorting or excusing what is happening. The Independent Voter You all know the independent Voter who affiliates with no political party, doesn't vote in primary elections, prides himself on "voting for the best for every office. Well, a business leader who became a federal administrator and is governor of this state, says the Independent Voter is the least independent of citizens. Governor Chester Bowles of Connecticut contributes an article to the New York Times sup- porting his thesis that the "independent" is really not independent.

Having no vote in the selection of party nominees, he has to choose between candidates put up by others. Every November, says Bowles, "the governors, senators, representatives, mayors, selectmen, tax collectors and dog catchers we elect are, with few exceptions, members of the two major political parties of the United States." There are voters who, because of business reasons or an aversion to "dirty politics" or just lazy in- diffeicncc, stand aloof from political parties. If they had not stood aloof, if they had participated in party responsibility, the party might have done a better job of selecting policies and candidates. Affiliation with a party docs not cause the citizen to lose his freedom. Nothing requires him in the voting booth to abandon his honest considered judgement on men and issues.

No citizen has a right to take a defeatist attitude, and spend his time glooming over the "great traditions" which made America great and now have been lost along with our freedom and rights. The politicians of a former time are now revered as statesmen. But in their own lifetime they were viewed as destroyers of all that was good. Destruction of the republic has been feared by many from the moment of its birth down to today. The chief danger lies in citizen inaction, in him who chooses to be a politically inactive citizen.

The Upper Room On the subject of weather, always a good conversation-opener, do you recall the weather of a year ago? The blizzard was not as fierce in this community as it was northwest of us. But the weather then was far different from the mild, soothing, balmy kind we have been having for a week. I do not wish to spoil your pleasure in this fine weather, but don't forget that now is the time to ready for a squall. Always there is something to worry about. Foreign relations, for instance, can keep the observer uneasy and apprehensive.

Man is a rational animal, therefore a worrier as to what lies ahead. At the moment, one member of our national legislature on a junket through Europe has been influencing people against us. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma is said to have said that the Swedish government gave the U. S. junketers a chilly reception.

He had the bad taste to remind the Swedes that snubbing a congressman might be remembered when next year's Marshall plan appropriation comes up. The Swedish press commented caustically to the solon's gripe about shabby hospitality. One editor told his readers they mast remember that some queer characters get themselves elected to the U. S. Congress.

Senators Chavez of New Mexico and Robertson of Virginia fortunately reported that the senate fact-finders had not been snubbed by the Swedes but had been hospitably received. They did their best to offset the bad impression made by their bumptious collegue. A member of Congress spends most of his time being agreeable and courteous and humble to ingratiate himself with the voters at home. The result, if the politician is not well balanced, is liable to be an explosion of pent-up rudeness when touring abroad. Bad -manners get round-the- world attention and a publicity-minded politico could scarcely resist the temptation to pop off.

AWAY Out of the Past Annapolis Cadets Feel Budget Pinch; Free Bus Ride Scrapped BY DOUGLAS LARSEN WASHINGTON (NEA) A sampling of opinion among midshipmen of the Naval Academy at Annapolis reveals that they share little of the bitterness against unification held by their superior officers in the Pentagon. Most of them think that the feud is just too high-level for servicemen of their lowly rank to get excited about. One result of the economy caused by unification does both er them, however.

The free bus which used to be provided for the golfers to take them to the course from school has been Uarsen stopped. To get to the links now they've got to use the local bus line and pay a fare. As one second-year man puts it: "First they take away the giant carrier. Now they've taken away the bus to the golf course. I wonder what is coming next?" Who Is It Controlling? Ever since the new federal rent control law was put on the books year Tighe Woods, the rent control director, has avoided the press very carefully, refusing to mtline top policy on decontrol.

Meanwhile screams are going up all over the country that the new aw should be called the "federal decontrol law." Woods has decontrolled 209 areas leaving only 390 areas still protected, under the new law. You Name It Howard Hughes, millionaire airplane manufacturer and movie- naker, has another fabulous fly- ng machine cooking in one of his "actories. As far as pioneering in aircraft engineering goes, this one is on a par with his famous lying boat that caused a congres- ional investigation. It is a giant, troop-carrying, et-propelled helicopter for the Air Force. So far most details of are top secret.

Air Force has anly given him money to build me. If it flies and does the job he Air Force hopes it can, he'll a fat production contract rom them. Only fact on it that is known is hat it will be powered by two giant General Electric jet engines with the thrust being applied at tips of huge rotors. This idea powering helicopters has prov- successful on one small job so ar. How it will work on a big lelicopter is the problem.

It'll either be called the "Sky Crane" or "Flying Train" depend- ng upon what the special Air "orce committee on aircraft nicknames approves. High Price Of Influence A report just out shows that 6,293,622 was spent by register- lobbyists' in their efforts to nfluence legislation during the irst half of the 81st Congress. That's an average of $11,852 per member. Just One Big Family A buffet dinner held beiore the premiere of the new movie "Battleground" attracted all the big brass in Washington. Secretary of Navy Francis Matthews and his wife were there.

After getting their food they found places at an empty table. A few moments later Air Force Chief of Staff General Vanclenberg and his wife walked by looking for a place to eat. Spotting Secretary Matthews, the general slapped him on the back and said: "Well, Mr. Secretary, do you think there is enough unification i for my wife and I to join you and Mrs. Matthews?" Matthews replied: "Of course, sit down.

We've probably got more unification than anybody else." That'll "Keep Him Quiet The mild-mannered and scholarly Dr. Earl J. McGrath, commissioner of education, was Ef. ce ntl in a bi hurry to get to Philadelphia to make a speech. It so happened that no planes were scheduled at that time.

Hearing of his plight, however, a friend offered to get him on a special private flight of a two-engine transport due to leave in a few minutes. When he arrived at the plane the pilot asked the commissioner if he was nervous about flying. Dr McGrath said it didn't bother him because he was a pilot himself. Thinking this was a little bragging on the commissioner's part the pilot asked him if he would like to, try his hand at the cori- A Sl McGrath sa id yes, he would. A little taken back, the pilot asked him if he had a license for multi-engine planes.

Dr. McGrath produced one. The pilot was left with no alternative but to let the commissioner pilot the plane for the full flighfc-which he did with great skill.

JORDAN, M.D. An inflamed sinus often causes headache, pain in the cheeks and a general run-down feeling. A stuffed or dripping nose is common.

It is a miserable affliction. Swelling of the mucous membrane which lines the sinuses lets pus and mucus secretion gather inside the sinuses and this produces pressure sensations. If the accumulated pus and mucus can be made to flow out by enlarging the opening, or can Jordan be washed out, at least temporary relief is often obtained. The injection of drugs which shrink the mucous membrane is often helpful. This shrinkage may open the passageways temporarily and thus enlarge the air space.

In spite of everything some people continue to suffer seriously with sinusitis and become so miserable and run-down that they consider change of climate. Theoretically the best climate for a person with sinusitis is one in which there is not much change in temperature between night and day. A temperature of 68 to with the air neither tooo dry nor too moist but a little breeze from time to time would be ideal. We should all love such a perfect climate if we could find it. Climates Vary Parts of Florida and southern California are close to this ideal.

Arizonia, although quite different, appears to bo good for some sinus sufferers. In most parts of Arizonia, however, there is a great deal of fluctuation between day and night temperature and the air is too dry to be, good for some people. When a sufferer from sinusitis wishes to consider a change of residence it is well to try the new climate for geveral weeks or months before making a final decision. Certainly the climate of the northern sections of the United States is not good for sinus sufferers, but what climate is best is still a matter of individual trial. North Gage News Mr.

It looks like Russian thistle but contains enough oxalic acid to kill a sheep that eats a pound and a half of the weed. Thousands of sheep have been lost since the halogeton first appeared in Idaho two years ago. Nevada has had similar losses.

It is spreading, and is hard to control because it takes hold readily on poor land that is worth less than the cost of killing the weed off. From such bases it spreads to better land and crowds out useful plants.
