Thus desolation and fear hold sway In this "New Paradise," much publicized in the Soviet press.

Baltic and Balkan peoples who iiave suffered under both swastika and hammer and sickle despotism say that the MVD Is worse than the Gestapo. Himmlcr's cops mostly were young men eager for "wine, women and song." Their principal Interests were to pilfer food, improve living conditions and steal goods for shipment home. They kept to themselves until a higher-up gave commands for atrocities or reprisals. Then dispassionately they carried out their merciless orders with despatch and ruthless brutality. But many of them could bo bribed to lay off LONG EXPERIENCE The MVD spurns bribes.

Its agents operate in pairs or trios und one would squeal on another if he took hush money. As Moscow has been a secret police system 'since 1917, its men are better trained and more experienced in the tricks of suppression. They keep tabs on every phase of life through expert spies) ami local informers, even using children to tattle on their parents. An American who worked in Central Europe tells me that tho Red police gave pennies to kids to stand in front of his office and spit at him as he left each night to drive home. Communist police methods range from hard-boiled third degrees to refined cruelty.

An adolescent girl who refused to tell on her father was stripped naked and forced to sleep on the concrete floor of a damp cellar in winter while male guards watched. Another girl was ordered to on her employer and bring her disclosures to a detective who would meet her at a certain hour on the corner of a crowded park. She wns warned that if she failed to attend the rendezvous, she and be tlon and warmongering ot capitalist nations. i In addition to being taught to despise and fear thc outside world, little Communists are molded Into militarists almost as soon as they can toddle. Moscow school kids from seven years of age up receive compulsary military drill.

Boys and girls of ten must take rifle practice and at twelve are given battle ammunition. On Soviet holidays teams of IB pupils from various schools, usually ten i boys and five girls, hold shooting! matches. Russia, in recent months has ordered her vassal to implant the same type of military education In their children. Toy guns, tanks and planes are appearing everywhere In the Soviet orbit. Picture books for tots show little ones playing with rifles and grenades.

From these litters of wolf cubs, Russia hopes to raise obedient! Reds to take over from their non- Communist parents and future soldiers bred to war from the cradle and Imbued with hatred of the free world.

Whittaker imbcrs testified that one elite timunlst cell met in the home Henry Hill Collins, and zabeth Bentley testified irlei Kramer had been a mem- at Victor Perlo's spy ring. Collins and Kramer have in years been employed as staff Wbers lor Congressional invent! ing So Congress lias now learned how easy It i.i to get suspects on Ho own payroll, and the executive branch of the government has no monopoly on employes said to have sympathies with the Communists. One of the big "secrets" which spy queen Elizabeth Bentley bragged about having picked up for the Communists during wartime was the date of the D-Day for the U.

invasion of France. But the Harry Hopkins memoirs now being printed serially by Collier's magazine say that in Mny, 1943, the Russians wero officially informed by the U. S. government that D-Day would be in May, So Stalin know the secret before Miss Bentley found out about It. The way things worked out there two postponements und D-Day actually come on June 6, 1944.

"PRIVILEGED" TESTIMONY Lawyers for some of the more prominent men named by Whittaker Chambers and Miss Bentley us having given information to the Communist spy rings are now studying what grounds they may have for bringing Hbel or slander suits against tho Informants.

Testimony presented under oath before a Congressional Investigating committee is considered "privileged." That is, It cannot be used as the basis for a suit, the same as evl- lence submitted In open court. But the character and reputation sf many of those named may have been injured or at least opened to suspicion by the allegations made against them. This may impair 1 their standings, their Jobs or their future. And if any of these people can prove damage to their careers, it is believed that they may have grounds for action.

All the rest of the 25 people whose names have been dragged through this mire were relatively unknowns, the little people of government civil service employment that few outside their own offices ever heard of, But thsy'n now I will continue to quote from revised chapter "Mass Education" by John Rustgard taken from hto book "The Bankruptcy of Liberalism" published in 19-12. In the last issue Mr.

Rustgard dlicussed the disadvantages o' placing child in surroundings that will ever remind him of his own Inferiorities and how Mils tends, being made constantly aware of his Inferiority in school studies, to make him become to humiliated that he will either quit trying, or become malicious and vindictive against anything that Is superior and excellent. This, saw Mr. Rustgard, tends to prevent a number of children from finding their own brands of superiority ahd making the most of them. I continue quoting from this chapter: "That education could be so directed PK to develop the soul of man and take him into higher moral, intellectual, and cultural spheres is quite true. But are our schools having that effect? It may also conceded that In manv cases school education lays the foundation on which the individual, no matter what his vocation, may build a more highly intellectual and cultural existence.

But it certain that only In very rare cases is it so used. In the overwhelming majority of cases It serves degrading purposes. "How many read literature designed or tending to build character or Increase the reader's useful knowledge? Mighty few. Most individuals use their school training to read literature that Is either frivolous and useless or absolutely demoralizing. "There Is not the slightest doubt ttiat our moral degeneracy, as well our mental breakdown about which everybody complains, is due mainly to the demoralizing matter the masses of our people consume.

What, then, is gained for nation by spending so much money on schools? And why compel the young to attend? "Simply because our schools are cuir leading letlsh. we are still devoted to magic and necromancy. "It is generally conceded that public education has had a deleterious effect upon the native races. It has tended to make their youth Idlers, contemptuous of their elders and generally dissatisfied with life. They lose Initiative and a sense of responsibility.

The manners and ethics of the race have destroyed without being supplanted by any new code of yon- duct or standards of rectitude. In other words, the effect education has been purely destructive. Except hi a few rare cases the youth become hoodlums. "If we beat up one bad egg with a dozen good ones, we spoil the whole cake. If we squeeze the juice of one bad orange into the juice of a dozen good ones the whole concoction becomes unpalatable.

mixing of good bad cWldren together in one school lowers the standard of all. One bad boy or bad girl will contaminate a whole classroom, or playground. Since tMs the system we have followed, it is dear much of the responsibility lor owr moral and cultural degradation restc on ow public schools. Children, must be remembered, are hero worshipers. It 'a the unusually active child who becomes the hero of the others, highly regarded for his initiative and daring.

Hence, It that child is a vicious hoodlum, vicloumess and hoodlumism become characteristic of the whole crowd. "There is at the bottom of society a thick layer of individuals devoid of the nobler Instincts and aspirations. They are slaves to Ignoble low desires, arvd brutal Instincts. They always will be in revolt against all that is noble, refined, and excellent. They cannot be Improved, but pollute everything with which they come In contact.

They are ever ready to answer the call of any agitator against organized society. During revolutions they will follow one lender today and one representing opposite Ideas tomorrow. They have no opinion beyond the opinion of the leader, and will line up behind anybody who will inspire them with hope of opportunity to Mil and loot. "That has been the experience In every country and In every age. The large bottom layer cannot be regenerated.

Among these peopte very few have noble Instincts that be appealed to. They have little in them that can either create or sustain, culture. In the language of Herman Rauschlng, 'they only consume "When we recognize these facts, can see the wisdom of the Creative Intelllaence In distinguishing them from the vital and regenerative part of humnnlly, and in placing them where they may destroy themselves.

The New York Governor's top housing- expert, now abroad, is making a special study of this system.

Stockholm has approached Us postwar economic problems in what is known as "the middle way," meaning that the practical Swedes have developed a cooperative method in which the government contributes to but does not own or control such vast projects may take pleasure In enBeavorlng to reform these people is a private matter, but to use public funds to I compel the Intelligent and indus- i trious port of the population engage in such activities is another matter. "And when this work of salvation consists in taking the lowest elements of society and mixing them with the better classes, the result is a general degradation of all. It is like beating up bod eggs with good ones: the mixture wastes thc good and does nothing to he)p the bad. is due to this eompotaory mixture of good and bad public schools have materially contributed to that general moral and intellectual breakdown of I which we gee and hear so much, and which has become so ingly obvious.

"Am I ovwreiatioff Ifce evH ffaence on owr yowth caused by forced association with the )ow element in the community? "Judging by newspaper reports, we may fairly conclude that there are very active rowdy elements In certain school districts in most of our cities. Organized gangs of boys and girls stone the windows of their own schoolhouses, violently break up furniture, wvd effect other depredations. Swearing at their teacher-j and even beating them up Is another' way of expressing their contempt for SAI- thority. "If society owes obligation to this low element, who imposed the obligation? The Creative Intelligence did not. He has put them where they have to reform or be eliminated.

And the reformatory process is one of suffering grinding work. "Does book education serve to make these people better cRIzens, better neighbors, or better men or women? Far from It. To educate them Is to place weapons in their hands by which they become more destructive to society. A few of them are born with enough strength of character to Hft themselves out of their milieu, but the vast majority, as has been shown use their book learning to satisfy their basest Instincts and their most depraved proclivities. The total effect of their education Is, therefore, decidedly Injurious both to themselves and to society.

"Ideologies are largely matters of fashion. They are seldom based on facts, They are more generally product of faith, hope, wishful thinking. Just has our faith in free public schools for the masses become a religion, defying reason. An opposite view is regarded as the basest heresy." do be continued) as providing homes, utility facilities and agricultural assistance. It has been praised by American liberals and conservatives alike.

The Albany man's are hopeful that a modification of the Swedish scheme in accord with domestic needs and conditions will unite the two OOP wings on Capitol Hill which divided hope lessly on the broader, government aid provisions of the Taft-Elien der-Wagner measure. COMMAND Governors Dewey and Warren also expect that their advancement of a positive and practical program during the campaign will tend to offset or blanket the Democratic cries that the Martln-Halleok-Wolcott opposition In the House blocked construction of housing unite for rent or sale. Incidentally, on housing question as well as on all other controversial prices, commodity shortages, heavy taxes, even foreign Republican candidates will try to present a definite, clearcut platform of their own, Without regard for the record of the Eightieth Congress, which Mr. Truman has assailed as "the second worst in history," the new Yorker and the will ask the voters to trust and ratify their unfoldinjf program, which will be far more progressive than either the performance of the recent session or the Philadelphia platform. That basic and troublesome question was settled once and for til at two men's recent conferences at the Governor's mansion at Albany, Dewey and Warren are taking command of the GOP, FINANCING The hard-headed Swedes have built up a nationwide savings and building society, and this agency is responsible for approximately one-tenth of all housing construction in the Scandinavian land.

It concentrates on apartment units along lines proposed in the T-E-W bill, with different finjunclng methods. The Swedish society, for instance, negotiates loans for seventy percent of the cost with banks or insurance companies, and obtains another twenty-five percent as a direct advance from the government. The tenant or owner, whichever he chooses to be, pays down only five percent. The savings and building organization will also arrange for financing of furniture. The Interest rate Is three-and-a- half percent for not more than one-tenth of the total cost, and three percent for the balance.

Inasmuch as Sweden has a more compact and stable economy than the U. with comparatively few shifts of population and a single family living on the "old place" for years, extended amortization periods can be granted with safety.

Add.birth pains of television: A local show called "Armchair Detective" dramatizes a crime which the armchair detectives are asked to solve. Not long ago the crime was In a carnival.

The young lady on the stage, according to the script, was really sawed in half. But after the dastardly deed, the television cameraman made a horrible mistake. Instead of moving his camera to puzzled armchair detectives, he pointed It at the attractive her hair as she climbed out from under the saw.

For Instance, while AID Here is how it works out, roughly, for a $10,000 home or apartment unit: The arranged loan from a private institution amounts to $7,000, the government puts up $2,600 and the tenant or owner pays down $800. The interest rate kt the start amounts to approximately $290 annually, or $24.17 a month. Thus, at a rental of $00 a month the apartment or home be fully paid for in thirty years, or in a longer liquidation period at $40 or less a month.

On a rental basis the monthly charge would be even less. Monthly payments, of course, would be much smaller for units valued at $6,000 or $8,000, and tho Swedes emphasize the cheaper structures. As suggested above, living and working conditions differ vastly from those In the United States, and there would have to be revisions to make this program practical here. But it is generally believed that any Dewey-Warreii plan for meeting the scarcity of shelter would be founded on this mutual aid basis. FOREIGN Governor Dewey's bol dsuggestlon for the return of Italy's colonies to Rome furnishes another tip-off on the strategy which the Republican standard- bearers will pursue in the campaign, as agreed upon at Albany.

In fact, they hope to make as many votes amocig certain racial groups as President Truman will seek to roll up by more direct appeals.

At any rate he will denounce them. It may be permissible to wonder Just what President Truman would have done if the Congress had acted on his recommendations; It had given him authority 'to control prices and passed all the ditlonal appropriations to swell already inflated federal budget. It is our guess that what Mr. Truman is about to say derogatory to the general intelligence and character of the Congress and what the leaders of Congress will say In reply to Mr. Truman would, seem very mild comparison with what the American people would soon be saying about each and all of them, if the President's wishes had been granted.

It passed a banking law to restrict credit in lace of the fact that bank loans are not a major factor in inflation.
