If Reds Want Income Equality They Should Try Capitalism One of the great but false boasts of the Soviet Union is that the Communist regime has built a society in which people are more nearly equal in income than anywhere else in the world.

The truth is that American capitalism, which the Reds revile as the exploiter of ordinary humanity, has gone farther than any other economic-political system to narrow the spread between the highest and lowest incomes. bociahst Britain, with its determined effort to costeiio acnieve this very end, has not succeeded as have we in the United States. Obviously the reason cannot be because the rich in this country are less rich than the most privileged in Russia and Britain. The British have systematically sought to cut down the wealthy, and the top bracket Russians, though far better off man iney want tne people to realize, don't range very high The real story, as pointed out recently hy Peter F. JDrucker in the Saturday Eveninsr Post, is that the "nnnr" people of the United States are so much more fortunate economically than the wretched lower classes of Europe and Asia.

The National Bureau of Economic Research, an outfit studying longe range trends and not given to spectacular statement, calls what has happened to America's average individual incomes in the past 25 years "one of the greatest icvuiuuuiis in History. More than 50 per cent of America's families now have what is "miHHU 1900. only 25 per cent of the families were that well off. And these gains have been made definite a nntahlp infla. tion that finds the 1952 dollar worth roughly one-third of the 1900 dollar.

For instance, the yearly income of the average U. S. fac- wij ivuina jitu, to ioaay, against aDput sow me turn oi me century. That's a sixfold advance, and means his real income has doubled despite the cheapening of the dollar. Drucker calls attention to another striking trend that is ing the range between high and low.

This is the remarkable tendency of ordinary folk to participate in the ownership of the country's largest businesses The Bell Telephone System now has 1,000,000 stockholders Of these, some 200,000 are company employes. Standard Oil Company of New Jersey has 220,000 stockholders, including many workers. Altogether, 15,000,000 Americans, one out of every 10 men, women and children, are today stock owners. In other words they have a financial stake themselves in the operation of our capitalist economy. If you add to these all the people who have a share in business indirectly, through savings deposits and life insurance payments which afford business a prime source of caoi-tal, you get a much larger figure.

So the country which and Socialists constantly excoriate as the despoiler of the masses is in fact doing far better by the masses than the enemies of capitalism nave any hope of doing. RUTH MILLETT Men Hate Word, Change; Have Conservative Nature I just finished another one of those scoffing pieces about men and their clothes, how conservative the poor men are and how they suffer for it. Nothing anybody will ever write fun at men and their clothes is going to change them. Men are just conservative by nature. It's the woman in the family who instigates the changes.

Women love change as much as men hate it. When you hear that the Browns have finally decided to build a new house, or that the Smiths are making plans for an entirely new kind of vacation, you can be sure that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown are behind those changes. And it's a safe bet that they've had to work for months, or mavbe even years, to sell their husbands tne idea that a change is desirable.

Some women have so yttle luck In getting their husbands to make any kind of change they have to satisfy their desire for change In small ways. 7 Women's. Urge to Change Will Out You'll find such women forev rcananging the living room furniture (usually the husbands liked it better the way it was), getting new hair-does, trying new shades of lipstick, and searching out the mosi startling hats they can find. if a woman can't change her or lnc nie they lead she can at least change herself a bit, and maybe she can even get by with sneaking in a few changes in the house. But as for men changing of their own free will just because they like change, that's rare.

They don't cling to the same kind of clothes year after year because they arc convinced they arc the most comfortable clothes they could wear. They clmK to them because they hate change.

JACOBY ON BRIDGE Don't Trust Luck at Bridge By OSWALD JACOBY "The bidding and play of this hand took about five minutes," reports a Scarsdale correspondent, "but the discussion with my partner has lasted five days. "West opened the six of hearts, and dummy won with the king. I had twelve tricks in top cards, and had to decide whether to set up a club or ruff a heart in dummy. "If clubs were 5-2, they could not be set up. If the hearts were 5-2, it was still possible that the player with only two hearts could not over-ruff dummy's ten of spades.

"On this reasoning, I cashed the I ace of hearts and led the eight of trumps to my ace. This was still another chance; the jack of spade might fall on this trick. "Then I led a heart from mv ow: hand, and West naturally stepped up with the Jack of spades to set the contract. my line of play correct but unlucky, or incorrect and lucky?" Incorrect, I am sorry to say. The best play is to run four rounds of trumps at oi carding low diamonds from the aummy.

inis beginning gives the opponents some light chance to make a mistake. South then cashes the top clubs and ruffs a club, hoping for a 4-3 break. If the clubs are 4-3, he can set up a long club in dummy. If the clubs fail to break, South leads a heart in dummy's ace; hoping that the queen will drop. If this break fails to materialize.

South ruffs another low club and then leads his last trump in the hope of developing a squeeze. As the cards lie, with all suits breaking badly, South still makes his grand slam. When the last trump Is led, West has the high club and two diamonds. He must keep the cluh, so he discards a diamond. Dummy can then discard the six NORTH (D) A 10 8 AK AJ72 AK653 EAST North-South vuL North East Sooth West Pass Pass 2N.T.

If he discards the queen of hearts, South's jack wins trick. If he discards a diamond, dummy's ace clears the suit, and the jack of diamonds wins the last trick. CARD SENSE The bidding has been: South West North East 1 Heart Pass 1 Spade 2 Clubs You, South, hold: Spades 9-7-52, Hearts A-K-9-4-2, Diamonds K-Q-8, Club 4.

What do you do? Bid two spades. This slu.Us lightly more than a minimum opening bid and four-eard support for spades. If you fall to show your support while It is cheap to do so, may never get an Inexpensive chance later on. TODAY'S QUESTION The bidding is the same as in the question just answered. You, South, hold: Spades Q-7-5-2, Hearts A-K-9-4-2, Diamonds A- Q-8, Club 4.

What do you do? Prayer for Our heavenly Father, help us to look within ourselves, that we may amend whatever is amiss. But, lest we become wrapped up ourselves, help us also to look without and consider what we can do to help others. And, lest become discouraged with human society, help us to look up and trust tnee.

WESTBROOK PEGLER Skeptics Frequently Wonder Who Is Running Occupied Germany, Commissioner McCoy or Stone (Copyright, 1948, King Syndicate, inc.) FRANKFORT ON MAIN, During my friendly inquiries at Bonn, the capital of the new Germany, which exists as a sort of ward of our carpetbag- administration, I made a stab at the mystery of the interesting sojourn in these parts of Benjamin Butten-wieser, of New York, as assistant to John J. McClov. the trranri cogalorum of the super-government known as HICOG. Mr.

Butten-wicser put in a couple of years as McCloy's assistant. Some skeptics not officially connected with the grand'lodge at Bonn have had uie mipuuence 10 auuoi unaer ineir evil Dream that Buttenwieser was subordinate to McCloy and took orders from him. The same vulgar speculations can be heard McCloy and our gifted American minister of cul- ture, Shepard Stone, of the Sunday section of the New York Times, especially now that McCloy is off the job with a broken ankle. I cannot sub- scribe to the suspicion that Stone outnumbers the I Hicogalorum of HICOG in the routing stresses the administration because I have not been able to 1 Those who exerted themselves for no declared reason include the late Louis Weiss, the political and legal adviser of Marshall Field, the little man who isn't there, and the fixer who hustled down to the White House and chilled tl beef against a "far eastern e. pert" known as Mark Gayn whi the Amerasia case broke.

Gayn was employed by Field's Chicago paper at the time. In the first Hiss trial Weiss was all over the bustling around the closure where he had no official business and when I asked him the reason for his interest, he said he just loved justice, which noble sentiment nt that.

Lowenthal has spent considerable time in Germany rep- interests which he re fused to identify under examina tion by the committee on un-American activities. The reason why I have been unable to ask Hicogalorum McCloy how he happened to pick Alger Hiss' friend and host for his first assistant in Hicog is that, like the late Tony Cermak, mayor of Chicago, he was off the job when he 'A friend," writes a correspon dent, "suffered a broken leg in 1950, and now has osteomyelitis. Would you please discuss the seri ousness of this condition and the treatment?" Osteomylitis is a disease of the bones and is known to have existed since the dawn of man be- the bones of some primi tive human beings which have been dug up have shown signs of mis disease. It is caused by a germ infection of the bone itself which destroys even this hard and resistant tissue. The disease is still with us but thanks to improved surgical meth ods, and the use of such prepara tions as the sulfa drugs and anti biotics like penicillin, it is becoming on the whole both less frequent and more commonly cured.

Up until the last three or four hundred years severe osteomyelitis in one of the limbs was usually treated by amputation. The disease was surrounded bv superstition also and until the germ theory became understood, it was often treated with repulsive applications such ns inciner ated toads, fresh body lice, boiling oil, powders mnde from Egyptian mummies, turpentine, or herbs. Maggots were commonly used in the treatment of osteomyelitis in the past because maggots eat only dead tissue and therefore Km interview the Hicogalorum. I wanted particularly wmorook to ask McCloy how he could Buttenweiser on as his assistant tne economic and cultural war Between "democracy and Com-nism in view of the fact that Buttenwieser put his own personal opinion above the verdict of the jury after due process in the Alger Hiss case and the fact that his wife, a niece of Senator Herbert H. Lehman, of New York, was associated with the Hiss defense as a The news that the Buttenwicsers were hosts to the Hisses at their New York home after Alger's conviction of perjury, with plain implications of betrayal of the United States to Soviet Russia, occa sioned appropriate comment at the time.

But no occasion ever curred in which an issue could be made. Leslie Gould, the financial editor of the New York Journal- American, the only Wall Street reporter who has ever made a cons nd robbers beat of that busy mart of trade, exposing doormat thieves and lushworkers in plug hats and limousines, once put the case straight to Buttenwieser. He wrote that Buttcnwiescr's reply to a question on the propriety of his continuing relations with Hiss was "You say he lies. I don't happen to think he did." Well, neither did Alger's old friend, Dean Acheson, nor his old professor and sponsor, Justice Felix Frankfurter, who is Acheson's frequent companion, nor Eleanor Roosevelt. The source of the money might better have been on it Cermak went to Miami shortly before Roosevelt's first inauguration to plead for amnesty, having guessed wrong in the convention and having barely missed the tailboard of the bandwagon in a flying leap the last time around.

Had he stayed with his subjects in the blizzards that beset Chicago he would not have been in the line of fire when Giuseppe Zangara let fly. McCloy went down to Garmish-Partenkirchcn to commit monkey business on barrel staves and broke his ankle, so he is in dry-dock In Munich for an indefinite I asked Major General George Hays, the deputy hicogalorum, how a friend of Alger Hiss got that job in an administration which whoops and hollers about its 0 detestation of the Reds, and General Hays said he positively would absolutely nothing to say whatever. The question was a hot potato to the gallant officer, proving again, as if we needed further proof after the dismal example of George Marshall, that no gallant officer can be gallant in the role of political agent of a bureaucracy with secrets to hide from the people. He said Buttenwieser was McCloy's friend, that McCloy brought him here and that McCloy would have to answer any questioning. This whole show deserves the candid suspicion of the American press and public.

They are squirt ing millions around with a fire hose and yelling how they hate Communism'but they represent the political party which went arm in arm with treason. Now they need another scare and another war boom to keep jobless millions outf of the soup lines and they are using old Reds and old friends of Reds to fight Communism.
