There will be some, however, who will regret the propagandist aspects attending Governor Thurmond's visit to the monument, just as they have regretted the use of General Lee's picture in connection with other public demonstrations of the Dixie-crats. General Lee and General Jackson were professional soldiers who kept clear of politics. Neither was active in the movement for secession that preceded war. When the time came to make a decision, it is true that both embraced the cause of their State against the Federal Union. Certainly in the case of Lee the decision was made with great reluctance.

1 Some tiny rays of light and hope at the economic level seem to some observers here to be creeping through rifts in the iron curtain. Several items have come to light this week which these observers believe may portend that forces are at work in the world trying to bridge the gap between East and West which so far political parleys have failed to achieve. Loan To Czechoslovakia The items all minor but all significant as some view them included: 1. Announcement at the World Bank and International Monetary Fund annual governors meetings here of a $6,000,000 stabilization loan to Czechoslovakia. 2.

Disclosure that Great Britain has been holding parleys with Yugoslavia on a short-term trade pact. 3. Disclosure that Great Britain has sent representatives to Bucharest to discuss a trade pact with Romania. 4. Reports from Geneva of meetings of top economic representatives of 21 European countries and the United States to seek agreement on means of improving East-West trade.

British-Soviet Talks Hit Snag Against these items of significantly encouraging news must needs be mentioned at least one shadow: An announcement from London during the week of a practical suspension of negotiations between Britain and the Soviet Union for a long-term trade agreement to succeed the short-term trade agreement between the two countries. The tension over the Berlin crisis was believed responsible for this. To observers who have been looking at the world situation from inside the World Bank and Monetary Fund meetings here at the Shoreham Hotel it seemed significant that countries from behind the Jron curtain would sit down with the rest of the world and in an atmosphere of calm talk over their financial and trade problems. Trade Needs Discussed Representatives of Poland. Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia not only took important parts in the bank and the fund meetings but they sat down at separate times with spokesmen for the Western powers to talk over their financial and trade needs.

Commission Reviews The City's Huge Loan Program The S49.700.000 bond program on which city voters will act at the November election is given its first comprehensive appraisal by outsiders in a statement issued yesterday by the Commission on Governmental Efficiency and Economy. Previous to the issuance of that statement the only overall opinion of the program had come from city officials. Needless to say, those city officials were for it in its entirety it is their program. The E. and E.

Commission uses a sound approach in its presentation of the bond problem. It lists the loan funds in hand at the City Hall, the bonds available for issue and the bonds on which approval is to be sought in November. These funds are added together. The result is staggering The commission then goes on to how that Baltimore cannot afford the full bond burden proposed in the new program. Its arguments on this point are convincing.

Having reached that initial cannot-afford conclusion, the commission proceeds to consider the bond proposals, item by item. Here City President Truman said: a candidate to admit that the opposition Bunche reported continued snip may have some virtues or to state flatly ing and other firing at United Nations personnel.

That made me wonder: Are of the two-party system. Indeed, it is almost possible to say that in this campaign; Mr. sold on the open market.

Dependent On Public Naturally the bank, depei.dent as it is on the public as a source of funds, must be more mindful of the political potentialities of the world situation than must the Monetary Fund. The latter institution, as one of its officials said, need be mindful only of its duties in the economic realm. In the Czech case the attitude of the fund was that the mere fact that this country happens to have fallen, through no fault other own, under strong Soviet political dominance, does not bar her from her economic rights in the fund of which she is a member so long as she remains in good standing. Foodstuff From Russia In this particular case, it was explained, the Czech, problem arose because she had to import a large quantity of foodstuff from Russia. To pay she had to divert a large quantity of exports, which normally would have gone to the West, to the East.

But still she was left with a balance of payments due to the Western Hemisphere and to western countries in Europe. In the circumstances, she turned to the fund, and the fund went to her rescue with the understanding that a commission from the fund would be allowed to enter Czechoslovakia and make a full report "on the financial, economic and trade position of Czechoslovakia." Examination Problem The test wiil come when the commission in the near future gets there and asks for the economic facts. Whether the Soviet-dominated Czech Government will allow this examination of the books or will slam the door shut in the fund's face remains to be seen, an official said today. As to the recent news that Britain has been carrying on trade parleys with East European countries, that actually is not "news." She has been making pacts on the Continent since almost the very end of the war. She has a short-term agreement with Russia already on specific items such as grain for which she agreed to supply Russia certain railway supplies.

there can hardly be serious debate; it accepts without reservation and as "primary and undeferrable'' the proposed water loan ($3,500,000) and sewer loan The approval of those loans is essential. Six other loans are accepted as desirable. But six loans aggregating $21,000,000 are rejected. The commission's recommendations pave the way for general public consideration of the huge bond program. There are certain to be other statements from responsible nonpartisan groups.

The. Sun will offer its conclusions presently. And, of course, pressure groups can be expected to make their appearance in support or opposition to this or that bond item. In short, between now and election day, which is only a month away, the registered voters will be given ample opportunity to learn all the municipal government's loan plan and to make sound judgments as to which loans should be approved or rejected. The registered voters should take advantage of that opportunity.

As the E. and E.

Jens Try To Discredit Truce Unit, Consuls Say Jerusalem. Oct. 1 (JP) The United Nations consular truce commission today accused the Jews of deliberately trying to discredit it and other United Nations agencies in Palestine.

The charge was made in a cable to the Security Council. An Israeli spokesman replied by accusing the commission of "unfair presentation of facts' and a "persistent unfriendly attitude." The truce commission is composed of the consuls of the United States. France and Belgium. It was appointed by the Security Council to try to mediate Jewish-Arab differences in Jerusalem. The commission reported to the Security Council there was a "deliberate Jewish campaign led by the military governor.

Dr. Bernard Joseph, to discredit the truce commission and the acting mediator. Dr. Bunche." The Israeli spokesman said the cable probably would be dealt ith by Moshe Shertolc. Israeli Foreign who will be in Paris for the forthcoming United Nations Palestine discussions.

The commission's cable said the alleged Jewish campaign against the commission and the mediator's mission was "obviously undertaken in an effort to destroy public confidence in and arouse public animosity toward the two bodies now striving to enforce the truce in Jerusalem. Incorporation Of Jerusalem It said the campaign "coincides with the Jewish effort before the General Assembly to obtain the incorporation of Jerusalem in the state of Israel and is calculated to prove both Jewish determination to keep Jerusalem and the inability of the United Nations to internationalize the city in accordance ith the late mediator recommendations." The Israeli spokesman denied any Jewish attempt to discredit the commission and said: "If they try to build up a case which does not exist we must say 'the shoe is on the other foot as they seem to try to undermine the Jewish authorities." Chiang Holds Military Talks Peeping. Saturday. Oct. 2 VP Chiang Kai-shek conferred here today with his commander in Manchuria on ways to repel a Communist push now threatening to knock the Government out of that vast territory.

As Chiang talked with Gen. Wei Li-huang, who is charged with defending the Government's slim holdings in Manchuria, late reports from the battlefront gave this picture: 1. Communist artillery fire has made useless the Chinhsien airfield, driving off planes trying, to land Government reinforcements. Chinhsien is the major base supporting Mukden, 125 miles to the northeast. 2.

The railway city of Suichung. 80 miles southwest of Chinhsien, is presumed in Communist hands, erasing one more anchor to the Government's slipping position in Manchuria. Radio contact with Suichung has been broken for four days. Fighting Reported Abated Fighting was reported to have abated around Chinhsien. but the airfield, four miles northwest of the city proper, was still out of commission.

Dispatches said Nationalist war-planes were trying to silence the Communist guns so the field could be used again. Pro-Government reports said some troops from Mukden had landed to aid Chinhsien's hard-pressed 60.C00-man garrison shortly before the field was knocked out. The Government Navy meanwhile shelled Communists on the coastal road midway between Chinhsien and Suichung. The Government reported some successes against another Communist drive in Inner Mongolia northwest of Peiping. It said 30.000 reinforcements had reached Paotow, railhead 90 miles west of Kweisui, while Communists had been cleared from the railway between Kweisui and Tsining.

Radio Rights For Atheists To the Editor of The Sun Sir: erations to enter into its calculations. But these, as John J. Mc-Cloy, president of the bank, spake of them, "were in good temper." In the case of the county program appro party from flying asunder. The very best reason for electing Mr. The fund, in one respect, stands A Bad Case Of Schizophrenia Some five years ago two of New York's art museums, the Metropolitan and the Whitney Museum of American Art, announced their intention to merge.

The merger seemed at the time to make good sense from the museums' standpoint, by Cutting down overhead; from the public's standpoint, by bringing together' the two collections of American art. But there were some who kept their fingers crossed at the time of that announcement. The direction of the Metropolitan is essentially conservative, whereas the Whitney has from the beginning shown a pronounced sympathy for contemporary experimental painting, for what is called "modern-1 ism." Such a combination, some felt, would be as hard to blend to a smooth consistency as Hollandai.se sauce. The skeptics have been confirmed. The two museums have now agreed to disagree, and have issued announcements that the merger is off.

Both sides now recognize, amicably enough, that in a merger one or the other point of view would have to give way. Here, then, is another symptom of the schizophrenia from which contemporary art is suffering. The differences between modernism and conservatism in art just cannot be bridged, and it does no good to fall back on the old, easy way out, which is to say that what is "modernism" today becomes the conservatism of tomorrow. For the cleavage is rot so much a matter of style as it is of the point of view of the artists themselves. The modernists are bent strictly on "expressing themselves." And it is a matter of no importance whatever to them whether, in expressing themselves, they succeed in communicating something to those who merely stand and look.

The conservative, on the other hand, thinks first of communication and only second of self-expression. If is painting the, picture of a cross-eyed man riding a bicycle across the intersection of Howard and Lexington streets, he wants to get that across to the onlooker. The modernist may take the same subject for his work, but for all he cares the result may Atheists have too much liberty as priations made and requested over six years have increased approximately $500,000 each biennium. In the case of the city program, the requested appropriation for 1950-1951 is double that for 1948-1949. That is not to sug Dewey and Mr.
