Adfertlslna, Circulation, eta 8 VOLUME 100, NUMBER 322 Rough Road Ahead A rough road looms for the latest reorganization proposal of the Hoover commission on organization of the executive branch of the government The majority report calls for widespread revision of more than 100 lending and loan insuring or guaranteeing agencies of the government The majority of the 12-man commission says that If all its plans are followed they would ultimately effect an annual saving to the taxpayers of $200,000,000 and reduce the national by more than $7,000,000,000. Indications that the report will become the center of a spirited controversy are seen in the fact that five members of the commission, including two Republicans, have filed dissents. Federal loans, guarantees and Insurance have grown to the Impressive total of 244 billion dollars, according to the report. No matter what one thinks of some of the recommendations of the commission, few are likely to argue that an operation involving this amount of public funds does not need a checkup from time to time to guard against practices which are against the public interest and to search for possible ways of saving the public's money. A few examples of the majority's reco mmendatlons should be enough to convince thoughtful persons that congress should give careful attention to all of the report and not act hastily one way or the other through prejudice for or against the government lending and loan guaranteeing program.

One of the recommendations Is that all such agencies charge fees to borrowers to cover costs now paid by the government The suggestion that those who benefit from the lending and loan guaranteeing program pay the fees, rather than taxpayers who do not benefit will be regarded by many Americans as fair. The same can be said of the proposal that Interest rates on future loans equal the rate the treasury has to pay on the money It borrows. The report also points out that "insistence upon repayment' of loans to foreign gov Start Delaplane's POSTCARD SAID THE PRIVATE A formal request reached me the other day to speak of beer.

By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK, March 16 CW Whoever thought Adolf Hitler would help' solve America's traf fic problems? But in a small way he Is nearly 10 years after his death. All because of 'The Beetle." That is the nickname for the Volkswagen, the small mass-produced motor car which Hitler once promised every man Hal Boyle family would soon be able to afford. Most German families can't buy one yet But last year more Americans bought Volkswagens than any other kind ol import ed automobile.

'Some 29,151 foreign-make cars were sold in the United Stages in 1954," said Arthur Stanton, and 6,341 were Volkswagens." Stanton, a tall, lean 37-yean-old ex-navy officer and husband of TV panelist Joan Alexander, Is president ol world-wide Automobiles corporation. He distributes the Volkswagens in five eastern states. He and four partners went Into the import-export field after the last war with $48,000 they borrowed. Now they do a 20-mil-lion-dollar-a-year business here and in Paris, French Morocco, and Tokyo. They deal in Cuban sugar and Japanese toys as well as in German ana American automobiles and electrical prod ucts.

FAST TURNOVER But Stanton's pet project right now is the Volkswagen. "Since January they've been selling at the rate of 2,000 a month," he said. "In another couple of years they'll have an annual sale of 50,000 here. Then Detroit will start taking a long hard look at the small car market." The "Beetle" holds four passengers (five, if one Is a child) and is only 13 feet long. The 3U- horsepower motor Is in the rear.

THE WORLD TODAY Records of Yalta Poorly Kept, By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, March 16 UP The Yalta papers. What are they? A better question might be: Where were they? A state department team spent years trying to find them and put them togetner. The main ones are together now. They are a record of what went on before and during the February, 1945, wartime Yalta conference of Pres. Roosevelt Winston Churchill, and Generalissimo Joseph Stalin, Now that he has the papers all together, 840 pages in galley proof, printed by the government printer, Secy, of State Dulles Is not sure what to do with them.

He has 26 sets of these papers, bound in paper. There is no word-for-word record of what was said at Yalta. No stenographer took shorthand notes. But 'many of those present' kept notes, some a lot, some a few. The Yalta papers are made up of those notes, plus documents resulting from the conference, letters exchanged before it, and various state department memoranda In preparation for it In the years after the war several state department officials, in their spare time, searched for the Yalta papers.

In, 1953 the Eisenhower administration ordered that the gathering of the papers be made a fulltime project. Some Yalta papers were in a central filing area of the state department But they were inadequately classified. So a hunt had to be made there, and then through the rest of the department. Some department people connected with the conference still had papers relating to it filed in their own offices. These had to be tracked down.

The research team had to get other papers from the armed forces. The joint chiefs of staff had been at Yalta, too, meeting with the Russian and British chiefs. Roosevelt -papers at the Hyde Park Memorial library had to be combed over. And the researchers had to depend for some of their clues on the published memoirs and biographies of some of those at Yalta. Among the note-takers were Charles (Chip) Bohlen, then Roosevelt's translator and now ambassador to Moscow, and Alger Hiss, then a state department specialist From what can be learned, "Maybe you can do a column on green beans."

"Hitler seized on the idea of selling it to the German masses at $400 a car, but never got around to it The Volkswagen was used as a German Jeep In the war. Field Marshal Rommel found It was a good military vehicle in his desert campaign be- cause it had no trouble pushing through The civilian Volkswagens, made in a factory held In protective trust the German government, got into real mass production late in the 1940s. Last year the factory turned out 240,000.

This year it will gear up to 330,000 of which 55 percent will be exported. A Volkswagen factory branch in Canada is IN GERMANY 'The cars are popular In this country with two classes of people," said Stanton, "wealthy people who buy them as a second car, and working people who want a low-priced car that is cheaper to operate and easier to park than a standard size automobile." Many American tourists buy the cars in Germany, where the price is only $1,130, drive them around Europe on their vacations, and then ship them home, i But the Irony of Hitler's "dream car" for the German masses is that while an American working man can easily afford one, few German workers can. "In terms of their own cur- rency," said Stanton, Volkswagen would cost them the equivalent of $4,500." That Isn't a dream price to an average German. It's an impossible nightmare. Conference Difficult to Find some of the things said among the Big Three might if published now, embarrass this country a bit Roosevelt Is said to have made a flip crack about Germany, now an American ally.

Dulles yesterday refused to say yes or no to this question: Did Churchill ask that the Yalta papers not be published? Dulles said they will be published some day it's just a question of when. DENIES NAME PARALLELS Editor, The State Journal: Backers of the Michigan State college name change bill reply to the charge that, confusion would result from having two universities with similar names by referring to conditions in other states and specifically comparing M. S-C. with Ohio State university and Pensylvanla State unlver- sity. How many realize that Ohio State university is THE state university of Ohio, just as the University of Michigan is THE state university of Michigan? Similarly, Pennsylvania State university is THE state unlvor-sity of Penn sylvania.

(The University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia is a private institution.) In no state with a separate land grant college and a state university has the land grant college taken on the name of the state university. Where the land grant college is designated as a "university," the name does not resemble that of the state university (e. Purdue, Cornell). The name in the McCune bill was chosen, backers write, "because It changes only one word -In the existing name and the slight change, would maintain the rich tradition developed by Michigan State the years and minimize any confusion which might develop." M.S.C. has had this name almost 30 years.

What about the rich tradition developed by the University of Michigan over 118 years? Names used in industry are protected by law through trademarks. Isn't the University of Michigan entitled to protect Its time-honored name? Should the proposed change be made, the people of Michigan will have to pay for the costly mistakes and duplication to follow. MARGIE MCMILLAN. 1315 Roselawn Lansing. I By Interlude HOI Fiery History Of Old Ireland Is Recounted By BOB CONSIDIXE (Distributed by IXS) NEW YORK, March 16 (IXS) St Patrick, one of the most successful missionaries of all time, was a Briton born 1,570 years ago at Bannavem Taberniae.

Not even Jim Farley has ever been able to find the place. His family was Christian and honorary citizens of Rome, of which Britain was a province, indicating their a tional standing. Kidnaped by Irish ma rauders when he was 16. Patrick was taken to Ireland as a slave and worked as a herdsman in what is now County Antrim until 22. Then he escaped, reached Gaul, (France,) entered a monastery, and returned home to Britain about 413 A.

D. "Voices" were directing him now, he later revealed. He returned to Gaul, studied at Aux-erre for 12 years, and went back to Ireland as a bishop. He was a brave man. He tackled the pagan priests who quartered at Tara, won his first converts among hairy chieftains with a contempt for human life, and then worked on clan after clan until all Ireland was what it is not today united.

Missionaries had preceded Patrick to Ireland but had harvested few souls. Patrick's secret was that he understood the country and the people. In aiding the kings and chieftains to codify the laws of the land he borrowed heavily from traditional and familiar clan lows striking out the more brutal codes, such as slavery, as he went GREAT PERSONALITY He must have been a man of tremendous personality and drive, but the sculptors and painters who chose him made a mystic of him. Which isn't as bad as what the British did to his burial shrine and his bones when they destroyed Downpatrick in 1539. The existence of even a parti tioned Ireland today is a tribute to its determined men and women.

For generations before Pat tick, the clans almost exterminated one another. No scholar knows how many times the island was subjected to invasion. nor why the Romans, who held Britain lor 4UU years, never got around to taking Ireland, too. Norsemen battered Irish coasts for 200 years, leading up to the year 1000. Brian Bom finally sent them packing once and for all at Clontarf in 1014.

Ireland was independent for 150 years after that but stumbled from lack of central power. Pope Adrian IV, an Englishman, named Henry II as ruler of Ireland. The people picked up stones and knouts. They're still fighting. as St Patrick's Day parades from Dublin to San Francisco will attest To get where it is today, the Republic of Ireland underwent centuries of hardship which would have enQamed the United Nations had it then existed.

Hen ry II and his strong man, Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, appropriated countless lands, parcelled them among friends or sold them. The era of the "absentee landlord" began. The people fought back with hosts of brush-fire rebellions. They were aided temporarily by the inva sion of Edward Bruce in 1315. The British held a beachhead and in time expanded.

Henry VIII ruthlessly brought all the country under his control; Ireland became a Protesant country with penal laws against Catholics. COSTLY REBELLION One rebellion during the Erie-' lish civil wars of the 1640s re sulted in the loss of 600,000 lives. Oliver Cromwell crushed that one with a massacre of the peo ple of Drogheda. The Amencan Revolution stimulated new de mands for a separate parliament an endless battle which reached an important turn in 1800 when Pitt abolished the Irish parlia ment and ruled that Ireland could send representatives to the British counterpart Daniel O'Connell led the fight that led to the Catholic Emancipation act of 1829. But the worst was yet to come: the great po tato blight or famine, in 1940, when it struck, Ireland was a country of 8,500,000.

(Today it is half that) Between 1846 and 1851, one million Irish people died of starvation, and over approximately that same period more than 1,600,000 left the country most of them headed for New York, though South America and Australia got its share. Sick and emaciated, those who stayed behind continued to fight for Independence. Thousands died in the Sinn Fein rebellions. not resolved until the meetings between Lloyd George and Earn- on de Valera (born in Brook lyn of Spanish father and Irish mother) in 192L Their Irish free state was replaced on April 18, 1949 (33rd anniversary or the bloody Easter rebellion) by the Republic of Ireland. When the Russians stop blackballing Ire land in UN and the republic be comes a member, we 11 hear more about the separated Counties Antrim, Down, Armage, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Londonderry.

Much more. That you may sleep on, me laaaybucko.

What taxpayer Is going to argue against the government making every reasonable effort to have foreign governments repay loans to the extent that their economies make possible? Nor 'is there any reason to challenge the commission's assumption "that lending or guaranteeing loans is a function which the government should undertake only when private enterprise cannot or will not perform the function, and then only in furtherance of a Justifiable governmental purpose." This does not mean that the assumption will not be challenged. Some Americans, In both public and private life, do not share the commission's assumption, but always rush to the defense of government activities in all fields when the Issue of government enterprise versus private enterprise Is raised. It Is possible that the commission has gone too far In some of its recommendations. This should not result however.

In the entire report being rejected without a fair hearing. Government programs have a way of mushrooming until few people know what is going on. Studies such as that Just completed by the Hoover commission serve a vital purpose by focusing attention on what is going on, even if they to produce anything accepted by congress as a reason for change. One of the dissenting members who found virtually nothing In the whole report that suited him said that "the recommendations, it fully carried out would make it harder for American citizens to buy homes or get loans tor their farms or businesses." He should not ignore the possibility that some of the-recom-mendations, if carried out would make it easier for some American taxpayers to keep the homes and continue to operate the farms and businesses they now. have by permitting them to keep some of the money they now have to pay to support government subsidies In various fields.

ticles on economics will not get the magazine into trouble with Communists who may not know much about economics but are able to spot' any deviation from the party line in the arts and sciences and other fields. One of the nice things about our country Is that publications do not disappear for the reasons responsible for the two-month silence of Voprosl Ekonomikl. Think how bare American newsstands would be if magazines disappeared because some of the articles were displeasing to the Republican or Democratic parties. The readers of Voprosl Ekonomikl may not be sure in the future whether its articles are economically sound, but there is reason for confidence that they will be politically sound from the viewpoint of the Communist leaders. If they are not the magazine can be expected to disappear from the newsstands again.

Chiang It has been learned that Un cle Sam is also supplying vitamin pills each month to Nationalist China. This is enough to give every serviceman in Chiang's forces three pills dally. Nothing was said about the potency of the vitamins or whether Washington has the idea that if the Nationalists get enough of the pills they will be able to conquer the Communists on the mainland without the help of the U. navy, army and air force.

Back on the Party Line Three Minutes A Day BY JAMES frin.i.ra A $tM SPY A 27-year-old unemployed clerk in London, accused of giv ing away highly secret information about anti-aircraft defenses, was a do-it-yourself spy who spied on his own, by his own methods and at the cut-rate price of $2.80. The Crown charged that this young man had information about anti-aircraft defenses in northern Europe and the code word which would mobilize them. He gave this to Soviet Russia and received an occasional pound sterling, something less than three dollars.

He indicated his plea would include mental in stability and a claim tnat tne information was obtained from nonsecret sources for an article' he planned to write.

There was never any chance of such an outcome, but the strategy forced Reuther to petition for the merger, which unfriendly unionists characterize as a "surrender" on his part or at least a "strategic retreat."
