Moreover, it is reported that payment of the fraudulently-claimed matching funds is imminent. The events which followed the investigation are significant and are entirely in keeping with the present day_lack of public morality, The CAA offi- cials who participated in that dishonest “deal” have been promoted (o better jobs at better pay, presumably to place them in a better position to rape the treasury of the United States.

Perhaps we are old fashioned. Perhaps we are naive in our belief that public funds should be expended only in the interests of the public, rather than for the benefit of special political interests. Perhaps we should applaud public officials who suc- cessfully violate the spirit and the letter of the law.

It Js estimated that 1,200 escapees who never get publicity take the plunge across the Iron Curtain every month from Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other captive countries. Whereupon they are clapped in German and Austrian jails, become the associates of prostitutes and common criminals, and finally be- gin to think that, if this is the free world, they were better off under the Communists. As a matter of fact, many of them do go back. It would shock most Americans to know that 2,000 Russian escapees who obtained work. !is happening behind the Iron Cur- in the coal mines of Belgium re-| cently voted to go back to Russia. ‘The supposed free world, they vot- ed, did not offer the great free- dom they had supposed. Blame for this tragic situation can be laid directly on the doorstep of the U. S. Army, Central Intelli- gence, and the State Department. All three have divided ities for these escapees, but all eith- €r work at cfoss-purposes or no not work at all The United States government has the authority to handle all those escaping from behind the Iron Curtain, but most of the time it ducks the responsibility. Here is what happens. When an especially interesting escapee comes in from Russia as did the former counselor to the Russian Embasgsy in Iran last winter, U. S. agencies immediately pounce on him. Counter Intelligence wants responsibil- | tain. This could be of immense value to the U. S. military, to the Voice of America and dealing with our entire propaganda program. 2.—Recruits for the U. S. Army. ‘While the U. 8. Army is now able to accept only 2,500 recruits of foreign nationality, the: is no reason why this cannot be enlarged. Our army has been enlarged and the proportion of foreign recruits could be also. Most escapees volunteer to enlist in the U. S. Army, and if properly screened there is no reason why they could not serve as well| as American youngsters now being drained from our economy.
