    Tas Vegas Review-Journal IT SEEMS TO US ‘ WE MUST <F0IL KREMLIN S PLAN TO WRECK SAN FRANCISCO PARLEY With commendable speed the United States acted to spike at the start Russia’s obvious plan to wreck the Jap­anese treaty at San Francisco. The Kremlin has formal notice that the coming meeting -Is a final conference for the “concluding” and signing of the '. pact. Neither we nor any major power associated with ; the treaty drafting intend at this stage to allow the Rus ' sians to re-open negotiations on detailed terms* This is admirable resolve. But we must lay careful ./plans to meet every trick Moscow may conceive. We must ?•?Vassure not only that the Soviet. Union' does not wreck the jt treaty but that it does not so twist events at San Francisco as to gain an important propaganda victory. Almost certainly Russia will protest that" it is being - “frozen out without a hearing. This, of course, is not the ” case. John Foster Dulles had three meetings with Jacob " Malik on the progress of negotiations. It was Malik who I broke off the talks. Earlier, the Russians repeatedly had I hamstrung all efforts to begin framing a treaty. They did . not take part because they did not want a pact to be drawn. |P We should be ready at San Francisco with the whole ...history of Russia’s relation to Japanese treaty discussions, from the motaent World War II ended. And we should not 'hesitate to remind the world that Moscow joined the wgr against Japan exactly one week before it ended. A RM Y SHOWS IMAGINATION A unique experiment in troop training is being initiated by the United States in Korea. The expanding South Korean army will be intensively r re-trained in the field. One division at a time, the South Koreans will be pulled back a few miles-from the front and given eight weeks’ schooling in tactics; None of the trainees will at any time leave the general battle area. As the individual outfits complete their training, they ' will move back into the line. They will there be held in' readiness should cease-fire; talks collapse. This is an unusual and imaginative program. And it S w ill serve a valuable double purpose. If the cease-fire talks succeed, ultimately! the South Z Korean army must shoulder most of the burden of defend- Z ing free Korea. It-is not now equipped for the job. If, on ~ the other hand, the war should resume full-scale, re-trained ? South Koreans probably would cohtribute much more to _ UN effort than they have so far. The story of the South Korean army has generally - been one of brave men untrained and often ill-equipped -for tough fighting. The new plan, is the first real step to end that dangerous state of affairs. I WANTED: LONG-WINDED DIPLOMATS A dispatch from Iran says things aren’t going well in ~ the oil discussions but neither the British nor the Iranians & want to be blamed for breaking off talks. On days when the Kaesong conference doesn’t proceed - smoothly, we hear the same sort of stuff. All spring the Big Four powers haggled in Paris over 1 a mere agend«*~for a meeting. They got nowhere, but the participants went through motions pointlessly for weeks because no one wanted the onus of ending the talks. If this attitude becomes a habit, we can picture dip- - lomatic sessions going on all over the world for endless months. And there won’t be enough diplomats left over to keep the passport division functioning. ESKIMOS RAISE THE ROOF The government hasn’t found many takers among Alaskan Eskimos for loans to put floors in their snow-covered huts. The reason: wives have to sign for the loans, . too, and this- gives them new and unprecedented social . importance in' Eskimo-land. . • I ---? The men don’t like it. Who wants a floor when it " stamps a man automatically as hen-pecked? Better the same old dirt than a wife' throwing her weight around. The program is plainly doomed. Ruth Millett Often the self-styled “ over­worked housewife” is more a victim o f poor management than of necessary overwork. When that is the case, it is usually because the housewife makes at least one of the follow1 ing mistakes: She has never figured out just well enough organized so that it is pretty much equally divided among all the days o f the week, what household tasks are really necessities and what ones are the result of being overly-meticulous. She isn’t making use of all the short cuts and easy methods of doing routine" jobs that many housewives have found to be time savers. She gets no cooperation or help from ?ffer family because she isn’t an executive but a one-woman drudge. She is the kind of perfectionist who can’t rest easy until she gets her house in shining order and then has a fit if any mem­ber of the family disturbs the order. She is never content with her house “ as is,” but is always dis­satisfied with something and scheming and planning to change this or that. She is a putter-offer, letting the work pile up, so that just contemplating all there is to be done tires her out. She would rather complain of being overworked than set aside a couple of hours a day to get a little rest. She is a victim of the view that housework is the dullest form of drudgery—and there­fore hates the job so much she does it without spirit and with­out getting any real satisfaction out of what she does accomplish.

Tobin Editor’s Note— While Drew Pearson, is on a> brief vaca­tion, the Washington Merry- Go-round is being written by several distinguished guest col­umnists, today’s being by hon­orable Maurice J. Tobin, Sec­retary of labor. WASHINGTON — I ’d like to use this moment in the conduc­tor’s chair of the Merry-go- Round to pass out some brass rings to the American worker and his boss. * So mii’ch has been written about their quarrels and their problems that we tend to forget thejr joint accomplishments. Together they have but a re­markable record of industrial peace. Together, with the help of that record,. they have made America the most productive nation on Garth. Most people have learned to read of killings and robberies in the newspapers with the re­alization that these things are the exceptions and not the rule in American life. But too many fail to apply the same under­standing to stories of strikes and labor-management disputes. It cannot be pointed out too often that most of the workers and most of the employers settle their problems most of the time in a peaceful way. The news­papers emphasize the strike ra­ther than the peaceful settle­ment, because, the strike is the exception. If it were the rule, it wouldn’t be news. The number of man-days lost through strikes in the United States last year was only one half of 1 per cent of the number of man-days worked. Most of the time the worker and his boss get along. In plants all over the country, t h e y or their, representatives sit across the bargaining table and use the techniques of collective bargain' ing that have been encouraged by the government for the last 16 years. Since 1935, it has been t h e public policy of the United States to encourage labor and manage­ment to work out their prob­lems through collective bargain­ing. That policy, which develop­ed over half a century, was stated in the Wagner act and has been restated by congress in subsequent legislation. In 1937, 58 per cent of all strikes dealt with questions of union organiza­tions and recognition: in 1950, only 19 per cent occured over such questions. The government urges both sides to sit down and talk things over. It doesn’t force them to agree, but it urges them to try. The government can only encourage collective bargaining. Labor and management h a v e made it work. They have developed con­tracts .setting forth the rights and obligations of each side. They have developed unwritten understandings that help them meet day-to-day problems with­out friction. They have developed the prac­tice of arbitrating disputes over the interpretation of contracts If they can’t settle such a dis­pute themselves, they ask an im­partial umpire or board of um­pires to settle it for them, More than 80 per cent of col­lective bargaining contracts now provide for arbitration. Collective bargaining has be­come the key to industrial peace in the United States. Collective bargaining is what the govern­ment is counting on most heavily in this critical defense period to keep stoppages of production at an absolute minimum. The cooperative efforts of la­bor and management, however, can contribute far more to the defense effort than a mere reduction of strikes. The work­er and his boss as a team show­ed what they could do during World war II. They can work together to in­crease production and get rid of the bottlenecks. They can pro­mote plant safety and reduce in­dustrial accidents. They c a n work on problems of absentee­ism and bad morale. They can work together to meet manpower problems; to get the right worker in the right job; to arrange for training; to recruit women and older work­ers and handicapped workers for suitable defense jobs. Just as labor and management have worked together to meet the problems of the plant, they must work together to meet the problems of the nation. The pres­ervation of the free way of life they both believe in is a goal that should bring forth their very best. And today, while I sit at the controls, all the brass rings on the Merry-Go-Round are theirs. What matters is not the few in­stances in which they have failed, but the many in which they have succeeded. What mat­ters is not the exception, but the rule. And the rule is the peaceful settlement of disputes rather than strikes; the rule is co­operation rather than conflict. That is ,what needs to be em­phasized in the United States to­day. The need is for less criti­cism and more understanding. I hope these few brass rings have contributed to that end. ------------o------------ Classes for waiters and wait­resses will be opened in an Illi­nois school in the fall.

Uncle Ray's Corner Last week I wrote about a cold place, or at least a place which is cold most of the time in most parts. That was Alaska. This week I shall go to the other extreme, and write about a hot place, or at least a place which is mainly hot. This is the desert. There are many deserts on earth, and we can hardly de­scribe them all in a few wordsfi They may be sandy, or they may be rocky. They may be high or they may be low. One thing which is true in general is this: deserts tend to be deserted places. Notice that I say “ tend to be,’ No desert is completely vacant People keep away from them, as a rule, but some travelers go across the great stretches of wasteland. Here and there are oasis, with enough water to grow, plants and to keep people imn? becoming thirsty. Low deserts are extremely hot in the daytime—the temperature often goes above 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the shad?. The worst trouble is that shade is hard to find. People suffer a higher degree of heat than the “ shade” temperature indicates, At night the air tends to grow cool even over a low desert. On m lip A. Diagram illustrating one theory of how deserts are made. B. A small oasis. C. Frozen pool on high desert. & high desert the weather may be very hot in the daytime put so cold at night that a pool of water will freeze. We wonder where the stretch­es of desert sand came from. Two fairly good answers exist for that question. Many deserts probably are the beds of ancient lakes er seas which dried up and left the sand behind. Geologists have learned that dry land has taken the place of water-covered land in hundreds of parts of the earth. We may figure that a large number of sandy deserts are places where lakes or seas used to exist. Another theory may explain Some deserts. This theory is bas­ed on the fact that mountains tend to take yater from clouds. One side of a mountain may have thousands of bushes and small trees. The other side may i be barren, with few trees or bush­es. Water running down the bar­ren side of- mountains can wear away rock, turning much of the rock into . sand. We suppose that small streams flowed down the barren sides of mountains and carried sand over level stretches, thus providing sand for s o m e deserts. For NATURE section of your scrapbook.

In order to expert the neigh­bor’s children he will have to know the daily location of the floating crap game. And we want to hep the man to the gimmicks and the gadgets.

But the lads were sticking him up on the way home. How about those bets m a d e with the proud horse or the well-known nod? How do you know what caliber cabbage is being laid? And do we want the treas­ury balance of the nation to hinge on a Daily Double at Rocking­ham? The government isn’t going to be any richer with a stack of red and blue' chips.

Cahlan There have been many “ in­side stories” of the sudden rub-out of Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel in Virginia Hill’s spacious Bev­erly Hills mansion on the night of June 20, 1947. Each one pur­ported to give the true inotive for the murder but, of course, none came up with the identity of the man behind the .30 caliber carbine that sent several slugs into his body as he sat in front of a picture window, his head illuminated bV a floor lamp at his left. Motives, of course, should lead to -the individual who had them, but somehow there al­ways seemed to be a gap no­body could close, I don’t know w h e t h e r southern California peace officers have given up the chase or are still working on the case. I do know that more than four years h a v e past and the speculation still goes on without anything more substantial than gossip, innuendos and vague statements in the direction of actuality. The newest story, in case you haven’t heard and are still in­terested i n the “ whodunnit” phase, has to do with voluptuous Virginia Hill (who else?) the dream girl of the mobs who, it now appears, was being shared between Joe Adonis, senior lieu­tenant of crime-boss Costello on the east coast and Siegel on the west coast. Adonis had. her first, but Benny grabbed her on ar­rival in Hollywood, promised to get her in pictures and took over. She did considerable trans­continental commuting and on the occasions of Adonis’ busi­ness visits to the coast, Siegel was quite conspicious' by his ab­sence. The triangle blazed in all its glory with the Adonis tip do­ing most of the burning. The facts stop there. It doesn’t t a k e much of an imagination to let fancy carry the ball and plant it squarely between the goalposts of Adonis’ bulky frame. For he was that angry about the Siegel invasion of his private property. Benny was supposed to be a past-mas­ter a t muscling-in on business enterprise, in fact that’s why he was invaluable in his chosen profession. But it wasn’t exactly accepted where Virginia was concerned. So, maybe that was Itl Could be, of course. Whether or not, it’s much more exciting a theory be­cause there’s romance involved, and if you’ve seen Virginia, you can understand'how men whose lives are built about the world­ly, the material and the physi­cal, could consider possessing her well worth murder. How­ever, don’t get excited. We’U all have long, gray beards before anybody comes up with any an­swers which approach a bit nearer t o drawing the curtain aside on this particular mys­tery. In case you’re one of those who still believe that Alan Smiley, who posed Siegel in the frame in the role of sitting-duck, is the chief candidate for t h e number one direct suspect, al­though he wasn’t the actual trigger man, you’ll be interest­ed in a paragraph or two of the testimony in the Kefauver re­port on this particular subject. Smiley was a witness, but he refused to tell the senate com­mittee why, after the demise of his former partner, a Houston man invited him to go to Texas, and why, aftej- meeting this man, Smiley went back anti forth from Houston to the Bev­erly Club,’ Frank Costello’s gam­bling casino outside New Or­leans. The committee got the impression Smiley had been working as a messenger of some sort. Asked what he had received for these mysterious services, Smiley explained: “ O h, just a small piece of property.” “ What kind of property?” the committee asked. “ Well,” said Smiley, “ it may have had a few oil wells on it!” Y e s , Smiley knew Adonis. Yes, he was in a position to be taking orders from New York. Yes, he could have put Benny on the spot. But did he? There are a lot of people who know the answer to that one. And if Virginia w o u l d tell who the friends were who just insisted her extremely delicate health de­manded a visit to France just before the ambush at her home, the rest of the puzzle would fall into place quickly. But Virginia isn’t1 talking. And there’s no way of making her talk. If she was one given to careless conversation her beau­ty would long since have been rendered valueless, for no mat­ter how much ecstasy she might incite in the flesh, there’s noth­ing particularly exciting about a corpse which Virginia most cer­tainly would have been, even be­fore' she met Siegel, had she been at all loose-tongued. I always have h a d a hunch that the actual truth is Benny arranged the whole thing, or at least placed himself on the spot deliberately in conformity co some strange code in which he believed. I think he knew he had reached the end of his rope” and accepted the death sentence as the fruits of failure in his par­ticular field, knowing he harlu t a chance to escape. Principals in the drama, of course, know THAT answfer ‘but it’s an? ex­ceedingly well-kept secret—so fa r! Whether it will ever be anything e l s e remains, of course, to be seen.

It will be the sigh of mother nature. For another summer sea­son she is through with human beings. She won’t have to listen to the little complaints of us little people. Human beings won’t bother what she has tried to make so lovely. Man won’t leave potato salad on the side of a mountain that it took 10 million years to carve. Man won’t bring fire to forerig that were alive before he was ever born. A decency will come over the woods. Grasshoppers will be able to be happy again. Chipmunks will be able to be chipmunks again, • and won’t have to hide from ruthless Man. Leaves will fall and all their warpaint will not have to be trampled on by picnickers. The green grass will be able to lift Its head and be secure in the knowledge that it can look toward the dew and the sun without Man taking ad­vantage of it with no thought of the morrow. This is sort of a half serious and half picnic column. Seems to me that Man should be able to enjoy the great outdoors with­out making the great outdoors unhappy. There is so much love­liness in the world that it seems a shame that Man should make nature unhappy, but I!m sure he does. \ Little fellows like ants should be happy now that Labor day is here. Picnickers get mad at ants, but why? Can you imagine ah ant enjoying a thermos bottle being put down on his head? Or a half-eaten sandwich being thrown down on the home he spent so many years to build? As I said before, I think all the little creatures of nature are glad that Man’s vacation is almost over. Would Man welcome ants If they came and took over his home for a vacation? Frankly, I think Man is tremendously selfish, and has an almost com­plete disregard for nature. I never saw a better example of this than I did last year at Zermatt, Switzerland. That’s where the Matterhorn Is. The Matterhorn is God’s work. Ma­jestic. Even more than majes­tic. Millions of years have brought its snow-capped peak close to Heaven. But Man was not satisfied to look. He had to climb. So, in the little town that has a heavenly touch, you find man making money off the mountain. Pickaxes. Ropes. Guides. Con­ducted tours. And Man will never get it through his head that, long after he is gone and forgotten the snow of the Mat­terhorn cap will be reaching forth toward God. It is the same with the Amazon river. It’s the same with the Grand canyon of the Colorado. When Man gets stacked up against the big things, he looks mighty puny. A storm at sea makes the biggest ship look like nothing. I agree with the his­torian Arnold J. Toynbee that Man barely deserves the dom­inance of the world he holds.
