NIGHT EDITOR: HARRIETT FRIEDMAN
By IRVING JAFFE
WASHINGTON-Adolf Hitler delighted in
sounding on his propaganda trumpet
the note of drabness and mediocrity of the
democracies. Hitler's music lured almost no
one outside his own orbit, but too few have
ever fully realized how far from drab is
the life demanded by a vital democracy,
how far from mediocre must be the efforts
of the people to safeguard and fortify their
democratic institutions. Only in a free
society are the people confronted with the
stimulating challenge of having to rise
above mediocrity, of having to pay for every
liberty granted to them with the exercise of
mature responsibility on their part.
Among the most severe demands for
exercising responsibility in a democracy
are those imposed upon the men who
control the machinery for the communi-
cation of ideas-the owners of the press,,
the radio, the movies. In this area of the
expression of ideas, just as it is necessary
to grant the broadest freedom, it is nec-
essary to demand the most mature and
thoughtful use of that freedom.
Newspaper publishers are quick to defend
the freedom of the press. They have been
much less zealous, however, to pay for that
freedom by living up to their own respon-
sibilities.
Our press is too often guilty of inac-
curate reporting, or irresponsibly letting
sensational headlines create false umn-
pressions, of putting more stock in col-
orful writing than in sober fact. In these
days of tense international feelings, a
distorted headline can be more dan-
gerous than a heated diplomatic note.
Recently, former Secretary of State
Byrnes published his book, "Speaking
Frankly." On the night of publication, a
Washington newspaper appeared on the
streets, featuring, in huge type front-page
deadlines to the effect that Byrnes had
urged the building of bigger atomic bombs
and the use of force to drive the Russians
from Germany. The headline was justified
by the story-an item by one of the major
wire services-which appeared below it.
But the story itself was a reckless distg'tion
of the facts.
Byrnes felt called upon a short time
later to take the wire servieve to task and
to deny flatly that he had written any
puch thing. He quoted long passages from
his book to prove his point.
Some months earlier, American papers
were carrying daily stories below banners
headlines of an alleged invasion of Greece
by an "International Brigade" sponsored by
Russia. Examination of the stories revealed
that they were written, not from northern
Greece where the action was reported to
be taking place, but from Athens. The items
were based on announcements by the Greek
government, and there was no confirmation
from any observers on the spot.
Later, a United Nations commission
travelled to the northern border of Greece
and could find no signs of any Interna-
tional Brigade. The space given by Amer-
ican newspapers to the finding of the UN
commission were insignificant compared
with the play given to the original Athens
stories.
The abuse of a free press is the surest in-
vitation to curtailment of that freedom.
MATTER OF FACT:
Night of the Soul
Poor Strategy
4N TAKING A SECOND LOOK at Pres-
ident Truman's speech before Congress,
one begins to wonder just what the Pres-
ident is doing and what kind of politics he
is playing:
Two weeks ago, President Truman came
out against all forms of government eco-
nomic controls as the weapons of a "police
state" and inferred that they would not be
applied in the United States. Now he has
come out with a plan to regulate our
economy which, in some respects, is more
drastic than the controls which were applied
during the war.
Politically, his plan will meet with op-
position from every powerful force in Con-
gress. He has antagonized every group that
is vocal in the government.
His request for wage controls will cause
organized labor to line up against the
plan.
His request for price ceilings, credit
controls and allocation of scarce commod-
ities will alienate big business and fi-
nance.
His plan of encouraging marketing of live-
stock to conserve grain will draw fire from
the farmers as represented in Congress by
the Farm Bloc.
His request for continued rent controls
will antagonize landlords.
Truman's antics in the last few weeks
have been reminiscent of his first months
in office, when he obviously didn't know
the score. Still, it is scarcely conceivable
that he has forgotten all the politics that
he has learned in the last twenty years.
As for the plan itself, it is well outlined
and comprehensive. If it were adopted in
whole, or in most part, the economy of
this country, and then that of the rest of
the world would probably benefit.
But the manner in which Truman has
presented his plan to Congress, while it un-
doubtedly will appeal to many people as in-
dividuals, will probably raise some of the
toughest opposition to any measure since the
issue of isolationism was fought out before
the last war.

FOR THE PAST few days newspapers have
been' blowing up a tragic story concern-
ing a murder and an assault.
The story, from the newspaper angle,
is a good one. People seem to like to read
about such things. Murders and assaults
in blazing headlines sell papers.
Newspaper people are sometimes credited
with ethics. For example, an unwritten rule
exists among them that in an assault story,
the name of the victim should be with-
held.
Apparently many papers have forgotten
this rule. With their eyes glued on "get-
ting that story" and raising circulation,
they have completely violated the con-
fines of decency. Not content with bad-
By JOSEPH ALSOP
BERLIN-It is difficult for free men even
to imagine the dark night of the soul,
which is the terror of the police state. But
for our own sakes, in our own hard polit-
ical interests, some understanding of this
night of the soul is a necessary thing. There
follow, accordingly, three bald selections
from personal narratives of the few fortu-
nate ones who have escaped the Soviet
terror in eastern Germany. These stories
come from the mass of data, as impressive
as it is horrifying, collected and checked by
American officials here.
The man who will be called Hans Kunze
is a twenty-seven year old former Ameri-
can prisoner of war who lives in Ham-
burg. In the fall of 1946, he visited Ber-
lin. M.V.D. agents immediately picked him"
up on the Friedrichstrasse corner of the
Unter den Linden, took him to M.V.D.
headquarters in Kupfergraben, and there
charged him with espionage. Kunze is a
puzzled little man, like the hero of the
pre-war novel, "Little Man What Now."
He had no notion that the Soviets re-
gard the mere accident of having been a
prisoner of th Western Allies as a deeply
suspicious fact, for which it is estimated
that tens of thousands have been arrested.
Bewildered and terrified, Kunze denies the
charge.
After three interrogations, the M.V.D.
agents lost patience. Kunze was thrown
to the floor of the interrogation chamber
and beaten with truncheons and empty
beer bottles, while a radio blared to drown
his screams. He persisted in his denial of
espionage and was interrogated in this
fashion every night for ten nights.
Between interrogations, he was kept
in a dungeon in a cellar of the M.V.D.
headquarters. This place was unheated,
windowless and without plumbing fa-
cilities. As many as twenty-five suspects
at a time, the majority socialists of
former Western prisoners like Kufle,
were crammed into this filthy hole. On
Sundays there were no interrogations,
since the M.V.D. officer took the day
off. But on these days the M.V.D. guards
brought their women into the prison for
a drinking bout. When drunk, the guards
amused themselves by entering the dun-
geon and whipping the prisoners with
wire cables.
After nearly three months of this life,
Kun'ze was transferred to Sachsenhausen.
As under the Nazis three rings of guards
encircled the camp; as under the Nazis
the prisoners received a diet of water soup,
a little bread, and a little half rotten po-.
tatoes. The Russian commandant of the
camp, Lieutenant Colonel Rudenko, even
had a former Nazi S.S. man as his assistant.
The place was the same as in the old
days, except that there were no gas cham-
bers or death ovens. The Soviet terror is
certainly more complete, and perhaps more
ruthless than the terror of the Nazis, but dif-
fers from it, at least, in this respect.
None the less, there was cruelty enough.
At Sachenhausen thirty five to forty pris-
oners died daily, many of them under
punishment. Three classes of punishment
were used. The lightest was the "karzer"
-solitary confinement without food. Me-
dium punishment was the "bunker"-be-
ing placed in an open hole in the ground
but being sent to the M.V.D.'s labor camps
in the Soviet Union.
From all this, Kunze escaped by good
fortune. The prisoners were organized on
military lines, in battalions, companies and
platoons. Two-thirds of the battalions were
too under-nourished to work. One-third
worked within the camp and got small ex-
tra rations. Special groups were "aussen-
kommandos" used for work outside the
camp. To one of these Kunze was assigned,
and somehoiv got away.
The man who will be called Reinhold
Schmidt is a Silesian expellee. With in-
sane presumption, he wrote a letter to the
Allied Control Council, to protest Silesia's
fate. He was thrown into another M.V.D.
dungeon at Potsdam. His interrogations
occurred in mid-winter in a cell open to
the weather. When he refused to confess
to espionage, ice water was thrown over
his naked body and allowed to freeze.
The ice was then whipped off him with
wire cables. He survived thirteen inter-
rogations of this sort. Another Silesian
was subjected to the same treatment on
seventeen occasions, and at last broke
down when he was shown his wife and
daughter being tortured with the water
and wire. After confession, this man went
mad and tried to commit suicide, whereat
both Silesians were inexplicably released.
Finally there was the young socialist, who
will be called Hans Schneider. He was cap-
tured in a big round-up of the brave men
who still dare to remain independent so-
cialists in the Soviet zone. During his inter-
rogations, he was beaten with truncheons,
kicked in the abdomen and testicles, and
strangled with a leather strap. This hap-
pened to him as often as six times a day.
Finally, he was sent to a hospital with
abdominal injuries, inflammation of the
kidneys and infected flesh wounds. Thence
he escaped. When describing his experience
to American officers, he said:
"I was told it was worse to be a socialist
than a Nazi."
These are manifestations of the might
of the soul, no more nor less shocking
than the general run of the official data
on the subject. Moreover, this ruthless and
brutal terror is the motive force of the
whole machinery, political, economic and
controlling, of the Soviet zone of Ger-
many.
There are plenty of other insuperably ob-
jectionable features of the Soviet zone ma-
chinery-the virtual one-party system, for
example and the gigantic venture in un-
ashamed economic imperialism which are
the Soviet-owned German industries. But
since terror is the motive force of the whole
machine, it will not be enough merely to
remove these objectionable features. The
machine the Soviets have erected in their
zone must be dismantled in toto before we
can agree with them as to the German
future. And since there is not the slightest
possibility that the Soviets will completely
undo their work of two years in Germany, it
is fruitless for the present to continue try-
ing to seek agreement with them.

Itfin Commniists
To the Editor:-
AS A FORMER member of an
intelligence unit stationed
near Cerignola, Italy for 20
months, during World War II, I
would like to correct several er-
roneous statements which were
made in an article entitled : "First
Hand Report: Italian Leftists Ac-
tive in 1943, says Vet."1
(1) The Armistice in Italy was
signed in September, 1943 but no
Fifteenth Air Force men were sta-
tioned in the Cerignola region un-
til the early months of 1944.
(2) The Communist Party
Headquarters for the area be-
tween Bari and Foggia was Bar-
letta and not Cerignola.
(3) In the period from Jan-
uary, 1944, to June 1945, there
were only two major disturbances
in Cerignola and these were not,
led by any one party. The first
one occurred when municipal elec-
tions took place in Italy and the
political party members fought
among themeselves and the sec-
ond incident took place when the
Italian men finally worked up
enough courage to beat up several
Americans for molesting their
women. To the American soldiers,
most of the Italian women were
treated as nothing better than
prostitutes.
(4) No political gatherings
were allowed for the civilian Ital-
ians until early 1945. This was
forbidden by the American and
British Military Governments.
(5) Cerignola, since it was lo-
cated in an agricultural district
soon found itself with a surplus
of food and the many huge Ital-
ian trucks which were transport-
ing the food to the large cities,
proved that point. For once,
Southern Italy was better off than
the huge industrial centers of
the north.
(6) It was strictly forbidden for
American soldiers, other than M.
P.'s to carry any sidearms and
that decree for enforced to the
very ,letter.
(7) Hammer and; sickle em-
blems did not appear on the walls
of the town until late 1944 and
early 1945 when the Russians were
well on their way into the Bal-
kans.
I sincerely hope that I have
corrected some of the false im-
pressions which are being spread
about Italy in that Communists
infested the country in 1943. The
main point to remember is that
the Italian Armistice was not
signed until September, 1943 and
that it took from 12 to 18 months
for the Communists to effectively
organize themselves for any po-
litical control other than asking
chhildren to wear beautiful ham-
mer and sickle pins which were
merely used as ornamnits.

Franco Spain.
To the Editor:
THERE IS A VERY matter-of-
fact statement in Don Nuech-
terlein's editorial on Spain which
becomes very controversial with a
little help from this letter. The
Spanish Civil War has been re-
fought time and time again in ed-
itorials and in countless letters to
editors, but Don started it this
time, so here we go again.
Don't statement is that " . . .un-
til Franco's final victory in 1938,
the Communists held the power in
Spain . . ." Upon this assumption,
and upon the assumption that the
Communists would "comeback"
into power if Franco were ousted
is based the entire thought behind
the editorial.
The true facts are that the
Spanish Government, at the time
of Franco's victory, was composed
almost entirely of Spanish Repub-
licans who were duly elected by
a majority of the Spanish peo-
ple. The Communists happened to
prefer the Loyalist Government to
Franco and so, supported it. The
Loyalists desperately needed the
aid and consequently didn't re-
quire anyone to sign a non-Com-
munist affidavit before enlisting
his help. Never having been to
Spain, my sources are writers like
John Gunther and Vincent Sheean
and the Encyclopedia Britannica
(for election figures.)
As for Don's sources, there are
only two that I can imagine: the
Franco propaganda machine,
which must have worked overtime
when Don was there last summer,
and a certain chain of American
newspapers which continually re-
ferred to the Loyalists as "Reds"
during the Spanish War (in red
headlines, at that!)
If someone can give me proof
that the Loyalists were, or the
present government-in-exile is
composed of, Communists, I'd like
to hear it.
