TELEGRAPH HILL Established Soviet Technique An Advantage In Dealing i By Paul Mallon SAN FRANCISCO, gyrations of Soviet fofatfB policy have supercharged the inner atmosphere ol this conference Of tM new world at the outset. Little may be gained By condemning tne of Moscow, gnat many people out here are doing more in ttuui In public, but all must understand this rising diplomatic I Ism more thoroughly! we are to deal with it without grave dliadva Here among the assembled diplomats of the hard new world, you may learn many units nouui, it. From a source I will accept as authoritative, I un derstand one member of the serving entourage furnished by the Russians to the late President Roosevelt at the Uvadia (Yalta) conference was a skilled young Russian physician. He acted as vaiet or waiter, which position give nun a full opportunity to observe Mr. Kooseveu with doctor's eye.

He reporter oi course, was dealing with a dvine man. From that point forward you may observe how Soviet policy has altered. The Livadla understanding for Inclusion of the London democratic Poles in minor capacities in the Lublin Russo-Pollsh government has not been louowed out by staiin. seems to me quite possible he decided after the report" of the Russian physician wag lie would have to deal hereafter with a different American personautyltt. Truman, and that he has been testing Truman with his Polish PjtW.

ascertaining how far he' can go with this younger, well man. Indeed, only decided to send Molotov here at great expense his own European diplomatic arrangementsr-after Mr. Roosevelt died. I am inclined to accept this story of the doctor, not only because u-sequent events have been confirm- Inc it daily since then, but It Is a typical example of the thoroughness of Russian diplomacy in contrast with what our own has been tn the past. There Js another dramatic example, equally credible, told on tile inside here.

The Warsaw underground leaders of the London Poles sent out word back in the middle of March, urging the London government to make MOC 4 TIB MOEN1XG HERALD. UNIONTOWN. FRIDAY. APRIL M. IMS Bargainers Who Respect Their Bargains For sometime past there hove been nervous rumors of Russian intransigence on the question of forming a Polish government equally! satisfactory to the Russians, the British and the United States.

Now it is reported unofficially from Washington that the deadlock has, iri effect, been broken and that the formation of a new Polish government will shortly be announced. It is not clear, however, how the recent "cooperative" pact signed by Stalin and the Provisional Polish regime will aid or hinder formation of the new government. i That Soviet Russia has taken a vigorous stand over the formation of this government is hardly surprising. To Soviet Russia, a satisfactory solution of the Polish question is a matter of more direct interest than it is to either Great Britain or the United States. This is rtot to discount the moral issues involved.

The fact remains that for Russia Poland is a next-door neighbor with whom she must share hundreds of miles of border. By contrast, British and American interest in Poland is an interest based on abstract principles and a generalized desire for arrangements which will eliminate future threats to peace and security. But a vigorous stand by Russia gives no one ground for believing that this effort to form a more representative Polish government will fall through. At the Yalta conference, the principals reached an agreement regarding the formation of a new Polish government which was no less clear because it was a compromise. Here are the words of the agreement reached at the Yalta conference, as a refresher for nervous individuals who may have, forgotten them: A new situation has been created in Poland as a result of her complete liberation by the Red Army.

This calls for the establishment of a Polish provisional government which can be more broadly based than was possible before the recent liberation of western Poland. The Provisional Government which is now functioning in Poland should, therefore, be reorganized on a broader democratic basis with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itself and from Poles abrood. This new government should then be called the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity. M. Molotov, Mr.

Harrimon and Sir A. Clark Kerr are authorized as a commission to consult in the first instance in Moscow with members of the present Provisional Government and with other Polish democratic leaders from within Poland and from abroad, with a view to the reorganization of the present government along the above lines. 5 This Polish Provisional Government of National Unity shall be pledged to the holding of free and unfettered elec-tions as soon as possible on the basis of universal suffrage and secret ballot. In these elections all democratic and anti-Nazi parties shall have the right to take port and to put forward candidates. Those paragraphs leave room for indeed, they anticipate controversy.

But the agreed object is clear enough. The path to peace cjnd security is going to be littered with controversy. All the more important, then, to remember that, hard bargainers though they are, the Russians' record shows their will to stand by both the letter and the spirit of any agreements they moke. If they didn't intend to stick by their bargains, why should they bother to be hard bargainers? Later the London Poles asked our government to find out where thy were but received reply on April I that we could get no Information. Later five British heard the under-ground leaders (15 or 16 In number) had been taken inside Russia, possibly to Kiev, to negotiate then with the Russian diplomats about a cooperative government.

That is the Russian explanation, but the Poles naturally believe the incident represents Russian confiscation of their underground In what Americans would call double cross." The indusputable point is we do not know and no one knows what goes on inside Russia. I offer the story only as mora public their names to -the particularly to the: Soviets. They decided to come out Hi tne Throughout Soviet) occupa tion of their homeland they had masqueraded under fictitious names, so deeply guarded that even most London Poaah officials tad not know them. In etm lor that eo- of the changed new world This Mormnq't MATCHBOX known, they gave up rhelr underground work. The London Poles agreed, and notified our government and others of the identity of these underground workers.

The workers themselves about March 36 appeared before a Russian commissar in Poland and requested their plane. The' commissar took ttiem to a Russian general who asked them bo be at the airport the following morning to go to London. They appeared at the airport, but this was the last heard In Washington Molotov's actions were' in keeping with similar Russian tradition. He had no power to make any ooncessons on Poland, it was officially announced. At Bret ton Woods and Dumbarton, lt was the same.

The Russian delegates could not insert a comma at either conference without waring Moscow and watting for an answer, frequently for days and sometimes weeks. Apparently it is going to be the same here.

Relations On Firmer Plane By David Lawranea SAN FRANCISCO, Cat, April 26 President Truman did more than make an address of welcome he actually set ths stage for a successful conference by a frank talk in Washington with Foreign Commissar Molotov which may have more to do with the course of coming events than anything which has happened since ine Yalta conference. suppurwfa oy uuvjee iruiu jus colleague broad, decided that the time had come target for hard labor to his corporal, a hero to Me girl. But to his family he's a shining example between Russia and the United States on a basis of mutual trust and confidence so that inter-Allied unity not be subjected to the strain recently Imposed Major Ntol of an American by the tendency of Moscow to do things by itself In Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and elsewhere in her zona of Influence. There is some suggestion that even military co operation has been subject to some misunderstandings and that the old bogey of suspicion, which has impaired relations between Russia and the Western democracies, nas oeen raised once more. To no small extent, of course, the dying Naai propa-idists have doubtless been trying to find ways and War-Shoekad "Never approach a psychoneurotic soldier with a commanding' or overbearing manner, but rather a helpful attitude.

Use a kind, even tone of vole, Inquiring how to of service. They will respond more than to a command." Speaker was Lt Col. Nicholas Michael, head of Horthlngton General Hospital's Neuro-Psvchiatric section, Tuscaloosa, Ala. Listening were 1,000 poBcenwn, judges, sheriffs, highway patrotann, military poMee, delegates from medical societies, veterans' hospitals, civic clubs. It came about through the Birmingham Police Department.

Public Commissioner Eugene Connor wanted an Army expert to give the city's annual police retraining school some pointers on dealing with battle-weary veterans. So Lt. Col. Michael made three two-hour lectures on psychology, with a law-enforcement slant. He advised polio against arresting veterans ho seem to be drunk.

A dazed, incoherent condition may indicate a "nervous" soldier. "Reason with Them." "Psychoneurotic veterans," he said, "are not insane, but mentally ill." All injured soldiers suffered severe strain. They have lost control of nerves and mental facilities. If helped, these men have the same chance to recover as the physically injured. "Try reasoning with them.

They took orders in the army so in civilian life will resent more orders," said Lt. Col. Michael. Echoed Brig. Gen.

W. R. Dear, Northington's commanding officer: "We hope this type of course will be repeated throughout America. We've observed adverse effect of a wrong public attitude. We must realize that each has his breaking point which cannot be averted any more than a machine gun bullet can be stopped with the hand." Enthusiasm for Birmingham's lectures made Army sit up and take notice.

Now the War Department is considering similar training lor military police. means of driving a wedge between the Russians and the LA WHENCE Western allies, but unfortunately the basis for aDDarent divergence has been furnished by the actions of Russia herself. So it. seemed, on the eve of ths United Nations conlerence, advisable to clear things up. All the American officials abroad who are conversant with European affairs, as well as high officials here, were of one mind-namely, that something bigger than the Polish question had arisen, something that had to be tackled forthrightly and promptly.

The problem is whether the United States, Great Britain and Russia are to furnish money and mate- it BELIEVE IT OR NOT It took Lt. Robert. Williams and his buddy, Lt. John Pen-in, fifty-five minutes longer to hitch hike to Uniontown from Pittsburgh than It did for them to fly from the Army Air Base in Marianne, Florida, to Pittsburgh. Lt.

Williams, pilot, and his bombardier. Lt. Perrln, of Boston, took off from the Army Air Field in Marlanna Monday morning and two hours and twenty-five minutes later they arrived at the Moon township airport in Pittsburgh. The two lieutenants started to walk to Uniontown and by hitch hiking a ride here and there, they landed in Uniontown just three and one-half hours later. They made the trip here to visit Lt.

Williams' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Williams of Evans street. It was quite a surprise for Mrs. Williams when she answered the knock at the front door and found standing on the porch her son and his pal.

At the moment tin ice box was rather bare but one- thing certain Bob's room was spick-and-span as his mother had just finished house-cleaning lt early in the day. It was an enjoyable visit even though it only lasted until Tuesday, but they crowded a lot of fun in those few hours. PASSED ALONG If you want to learn who knows when the war will end read this: "BATS IN THE BELFRY Absolute knowledge I have none But my aunt's washerwoman's sister's son Heard a policeman on his beat Say to a laborer on the street That he had a letter Just last week Written in the finest Greek From a Chinese coolie in Tim-bucktu Who said that the natives of Cuba knew Of a colored man in a Texas town Who got it straight from a circus clown That a man in Klondike heard the From a firm of South American, Jews That a chap 'way over in Borneo Said that he had happened to Of a sublimated social rake Whose mother-in-law would undertake To prove that her husband's sister's niece Had stated in a printed piece That she had a son, who had a friend Who said he knew when the war rials to each other on the assumption that this is an lntef-Allied enterprise in the economic and military field only to find that no such conception of unity obtains in the so-called political or policy field. It will be recalled that certain specific pledges were made at the Yalta conference and all that the United States is insisting on is that these agreements be fulfilled. This writer called attention after the Yalta conference to the fact that Russia at the Teheran conference of 1943 had promised to take up matters growing out of the liberated areas on an inter-Allied rather than a unilateral basis and expressed the fear that Russia soldier.

And to the country, every person in any of the services Navy, Marines, Coast Guard or Army-is' a GI Joe or Jane. The country says it respectfully and lovingly. For he's a wonder of the world. But we who are ex-service don't worry any longer about what the quartermaster, the mess sergeant, the company commnder, the general or the corporal think or say. The War Manpower Commission has now changed its definition of a veteran.

Previously only men were discharged after December 8, 1941, were classified as veterans. Now, for the purposes of employment, anyone who has served as a member of the armed forces since September 16, 1940, date of the enactment of the National Selective Service Act, is a veteran. This ngres with the GI Bill of Rights, since to be eligible for its benefits you must have served on or after September 16, 1940. There is only one exception. The word "on" is omitted from Title of the Act.

This deals with unemployment pay to be eligible, you must have served "after'' September 16, 1940. A small point, which may affect none. The total now in the armed forces Is over 12,000,000. It also has been announced that there arc over 1,600,000 ex-service men and women of this war. General Hines, head of the Veterans' Administration, testified before the House Appropriations Committee that the then rate of release was around 90,000 and that after V-E Day, the War Department planned to release 200,000 to 250,000 a month.

This V-E day demobilization rate was denied the following day by the War Department. two seem clear. There are more than a million' and a half ex-service people now. And lt seems obvious that the way our crowd of global war veterans will increase after the war will make might go her way alone again. The preponderant opinion In America, on the other hand, was that Russia had made various concessions to the United Stages, and the Yalta pact was hailed as a notable achievement in unity.

Unfortunately, the Russians derived the idea that the United States would not be seriously disturbed about future steps taken on a unilateral basis. But the Russians have now been given a new picture of American opinion and of the 111 effects that might flow from a continuance of one-sided action. It wasn't, therefore, any one thing but several things which combined to Influence President Truman to deal directly with the heart of the whole international situation the relations of the Western Allies to Russia. If those relations could be put on an Intimate basis of close collaboration, every major obstacle could be surmounted and not only would a new charter for the United Nations be written but a better association achieved between the larger powers whose, voice in the council la to be so powerful. What view will Marshal StaUa take after he reads Mr.

Molotov's (Continued on Page Five) all groups is good government and works. Stars and Stripes, was speaking about the singular notion of Senator Magnuson that it name a combat soldier to represent all the GI's at the San Francisco conference. The Senator seems to think it would be just dandy to have a man fresh out of battle to tell off the assembled bigwigs. But, says the army newspaper, "The typical GI would be a two-headed calf at a world confernce for dignified study of a confusing question." He would be wined and dined, all right, and politically flattered, says Stars and Stripes; but nonetheless he would be completely bewildered by the complexity of the problems to be examined. Stars and Stripes says that America's eight trained delegates are competent to represent soldier opinion as well as that of the rest of the nation.

It concludes, "That's good enough for us." Of course, the notion that every special group in the community the soldiers, the veterans, the farmers, two or three different and mutually hostile labor groups, the retailers, the wholesalers, high-school seniors, children between the ages of eight and twelve, and so on the notion that all these special groups should have direct agents on every war labor board, every farm-price commission, every railway-rate agency, at every world conference, would have seemed ridiculous to the writers of our Constitution. They believed that est men and well-informed men could represent all groups and classes. That was the difference in their minds between an orderly democracy which would work and a direct and cumbrous mob rule which certainly would break down. It is refreshing in the extreme to find the same canny idea expressed in Stars and Stripes. Good Morning President Truman walks so fast he gets newspapermen puffing.

Those boys will have to get into Hitler reported married. Maybe the woman likes to wear black. Japs brag that their soldiers are better than Germany's. But they're not fightnig the Germans. Nazis exhort Berliners to keep up their courage.

Well, what have they got to lose now except their miserable lives? Correction, please. Nazi town of Jueterbog isn't where exponents of a certain type of cavorting come from. They're still out of this world. The truth, these days, is more sensational than the wildest rumors from Sweden judge Robert E. Umbel In the death of Judge Robert E.

Umbel Uniontown and Fayette county lost an outstanding personage. As a lawyer arid jurist, Judge Umbel attained notable place in his profession, the practice oi which led him into numerous and im- -Ifortant industrial and financial connections. His career was one of interest in the variety fields it touched, and from his activity came continued and substantial benffit to himself and to His fellows. Judge Umbel was a member of a family of Welsh origin, founded in America by New Jersey settlement in 1770, and brought to Fayette county by Isaac Umbel, great grandfather of Judge Umbel. Determination in everything he undertook was no small part of his long and useful life.

It was evidenced early in life when he worked at manual employment, and with the funds saved from such work began fitting himself for teaching. Tn this he was successful but hungering for advanced education he entered the Western Pennsylvania Classical and Scientific Institute at Mt. Pleasant. He completed the full course studies while teaching and on June 17, 1885, was graduated with second honors in the largest class graduated from that institution to that time. His consideration of a business career in association with a cousin was set aside upon the advice of Judge Charles E.

Boyle and instead entered upon the Study of law in the offices of Judge Boyfe, afterwards appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Washington, and S. Leslie Mestrezat, who for about 20 years was a justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Mr. Umbel's painstaking industry and efficient conduct of matters entrusted to his care soon won him an enviable reputation as a member of the Bar. He was elevated to the bench in 1900, thus becoming the youngest attorney to enter upon judicial duties within the State of Pennsylvania.

The generous measure of success that he attained is due to observance of the simple formula of hard work and ever keeping in mind the sage advice of his preceptor, Judge Boyle "Keep your office and your office will keep you." Sound Soldierly Comment A comforting footnote in the discussion of two or three large questions has been the fidelity in the armed services old-line democratic ideas. On many an issue of general constitutional import ieareful men would as soon have the advice of the Secretary of War as of the Attorney General. No one has stated the ancient democratic hatred of a standing sarmy with greater eloquence than did General Marshall in his recent appeal for the kind of peacetime military training which would make a standing army unnecessary.
